CECIL GREENFIELD
 IS COMING BACK
TT IS CLIMBED THAT HE IS STILL WORKING ON A MERGER PRoPO- sITION-WILL REACH BIRMING- HAM SOON

That Cecil Grenfell, the widely known English banker, would arrive in New York tomorrow from London, and that he would be expected here within the next few days, was the information received in Birmingham last night.
 MT. Grenfell is largely interested in the Southern Iron and Steel company, and he spent some time here last fall inspect ing the properties of that concern and studying the industrial situation general ly. As he Is said to be working on a plan seeking the consolidation of the Southern Iron and Steel with other com panies. his return to Birmingham in so short a time was the occasion for more than ordinary interest.
 It was stated here yesterday that MT. Grenfell would meet and confer with some prominent industrial men in New York when he reaches there and outline his merger plans in that city.
 Local industrial men have at times ex- pressed doubts about the merger project, but the best-informed among them agree now that such plans are under way.
 However, 1t Is believed that if local companies or prominence Iorin iheisc with the Southern Iron and Steel com pany, 1t will require long drawn out series of conferences and the financial aid of some of the largest and most re- sponsible bankers in New York and Eu- rope. For this reason those inclined to accredit the insistent and frequent mer- ger rumors are assured that no nasty action will be taken, nor will any mer- ger become reality for some time to come.
 It is understood locally that MT. Gren- fell will render some early assistance to the English interest in this country before taking upon himself the large re- sponsibility of big merger.
 It is thought MT. Frenfell will come to Birmingham in a few weeks accompanied by New York financiers.

SAWS FOUND IN
 WILL MAJORS CELL
OFFICES DISCOVER TOOLS CUM NINGLY CONCEALED IN HOLLOW OF BED POsT-NABORs DENIES KNOWLEDGE OF THEM

When search of the county jail was made yesterday by Chief Deputy Sugg assisted by Deputy Newman and the in. side wardens, six small steel saws were found concealed in the cell of William Majors. who is charged with wreckine Louisville and Nashville trains. The saws were at once confscated and a close watch will be kept on Majors in the future.
 The saws were cunningly hidden in the leg of the bed upon which Majors sleeps. It is an iron bed and the legs are hol- low. Wrapped up in a little piece of paper the saws were pushed down as far as they would go.
 The saws were found by Deputy Sher- if Ed Newman. All of the prisoners were removed from the cells while the search was being made and Majors was not present when the saws were found When confronted with them he bitterly denied any knowledge of how they came there and claimed that someone had placed them there to do him an injus- tfce.
 This is the second time that saws have been passed to Majors. The former at- tempt was frustrated by Warden Ed New man. It will be remembered that some time ago package containing saws was placed on the desk of Warden Newman marked for William Bailey. Baileys cell adjoins Majors and In spite of the fact that the saws were marked for Bailey 1t was thought at the time that they were meant for Majors.
 How the saws got into Nabors' cell or who passed them by the wardens is a mystery to the authorities. A close watch will be kept on all matter passed through the jail to Majors in future.
 Every cell in the jail was closely searched but nothing else of importance was found. Six knives scattered over the jail were confiscated. hypodermic syringe was found in one of the cells.

LEO RICHARD HAS
 NARROW ESCAPE
COMES IN CONTACT WITH LIVE WIRES AT POWER PLANT OF BIR- MINGHAM RAILWAY, LIGHT AND POWER COMPANY

Lee Richard. an electrician in the em ploy of the Birmingham Railway, Ligh and Power company, who lives in North Birmingham, barely escaped death by o'clock at the company's power house on Eighteenth street and Powell ave nue, when his body came in contact witt a potential transformer switch, and he received the full force of 2So0 volts. As a result of the circuit formed every light fin Birmingham was put out.
 The young man was working on some wires behind the switchboard and there was only a narrow space between the board and the wall. In changing his position he unconsoiously came in con- tact with the transformer switch, form ing a ground circuit He was badly burned about the side and on the arm and elbow, and the shock was so se- were that it was at first thought by those who saw the accident that he had been killed.
 Working with Richards at the time were L. D. Gray and Dan Mason, neither of whom was hurt. Both of these men attended the young man and their stren- uous efforts were probably what saved his life. every method being made use of by which to revive him. Quickly following the accident the injured man was removed in the ambulance of Shaw & Son to St. Vincents hospital, wherf his condition was reported late last night to be very favorable. It is not thought that his injuries will prove fatal.

OTTO MARX RETURNS
 FROM NEW YORK

After being in New York city for 10 days, and conferring with some prominent bankers and brokers of that city, Otto Marx returned to Birmingham yester- day.
 In discussing the present financial condi- tion and the outlook for the futures he said that feeling of better times was rapidly crystalizing in New York, and money was being turned over with more frequency now than for some time past.
 Financial conditions are better now than they have been in some time." said Mir. Marx.
 "The men in New York who control the best of financial transactions seem to think a better period is upon the coun- try, and are letting out their money rapidly. The change in condition is due probably to the passing of the unrest that was overcome when some unsatisfac- tory affairs in New York were discov- cred and strengthened out. Personally, I feel like the market Is stronger now than it has been in some time. And it is the current belief that this year Is to be far more productive in business than the most optimistic believed several weeks ago..
 .I find every banker in a better frame of mind, and this coming as 1t does so soon after the holidays leads me to be- lieve that everything is fine.''
 MT. Marx was accompanied to Bir- mingham by Henry Mosier. the celebrated artist, who will be the guest of his daughter, Mrs. Otto Marx. obably they will make . tour of the West In- dies after a few weeks.

WILL, ASK
 FOR ROAD BOND ELECTION

Before the present week ends 1t is probable that the Board of Revenue will have in hand a petition of voters requesting a special election for the s1, 1,000,e00 good roads bond issue. The good roads movement has been gaining strength every day,
 The petition for the special election is in charge of, the Jefferson County Good Roads association and is being eagerly signed by the qualified cleo tors of the county.

TERRA GOTTA PLANT TO
 BE BUILT AT RAGLAND

| in the Ragland plant were there a short time ago, upon which visit they looked over Birmingham. The party was in charge of Franklin W. Lowering, the we'll known broker of Baltimore, who has been extensively identified in the beginning of the development at that place. He an- nounced while here that some plans were under consideration at Ragland and the announcement regarding the terra cotta plant is accepted as having been deter mined upon after the recent visit
 The company operating at Ragland has been working along extensive lines and has created wide reputation for the ce- ment manufactures. The soil of that ter ritory is said to be more than finely adapted to terra cotta manufacture. hence the disposition to invest s250OoO there.

the question. He added that if so few as 400 signed the petition he believed the board would gladly take upon themselves the responsibility of calling the election. He said the board would prefer having an expression in this shape rather than to assume the en- tire responsibility.
 Such men as John G. Bradley, clerk oi the criminal court; Henry B. Gray former lieutenant governor; Major Frank Y. Anderson, Job Going, John l.. Parker, W. A. Morris of the Farmers union. Ross c. Smith, A.. l.. Fulen- wider. Troupe Brazelton and other prominent men have given 1t as their opinion that the $1,000,OOO bond issue would carry before the people over whelmingly. The greatest faith pre- vails that the time is about ripe for this progressive step to be taken by the people of Jefferson county.

 MERCHANTS ENDS

This is the second convention held by the Chicago house which has served to bring into Bir- inlngham about 160 merchants from va rious points in Alabama and Mississippi. It was announced yesterday by the force of men engaged in serving the buyers that the convention was the most suc- .essful ever held by the company at any r"int and had emphasized the central po- Sltion of Birmingham, and that feeling of brighter retail times were opening up in tEi1 state.
 It is stated that orders were Siven by the merchants who attended aggregating about S15.0oo for goods to be delivered during the next few weeks. The man. agers of the convention were highly pleased with the result and said the dis position Cn the part of tho company to hold two of the meetings in Birmingham every year twas greater now than at any time in the past.
 R. w. Nicholson, one of the prominent salesmen of the force who was here said that the conventions held here did not de- tract from the volume of buxiness trans acted by the local jobbing houses at all He said the convention idea was more for time saving than anything else except that 1t gave the merchants nice vaca- tion and created a week of trading which would require constant traveling of three or four men for several weahc otherwise The jobhink value of Birmingham houses Is continually going ur. as the gross business Of two of the large ones last week was given as larger than the same period in 1SO6 when the banner, times were experienced. It was stated that a large number of the merchants who came here to buy goods of Marshall Field & Co. traded with that firm and also with the local tobbers. :.

 According to MT. Barnard, who is in the city at the present time, the req son for the introduction of the bill is to make those who now operate slot ma chimes in disregard of the law pay over sum of money for the benefit of the state. Should the bill become law, &C., cordng to MT Barnard, the state will reap a harvest of between s50,OOO and $100.0O0 per annum.
 "At the present time." stated Mir. Bar nard yesterday, there are innumerable people in Alabama operating slot ma chimes. You can find them in many of the cigar and chewing gum shops open ly displayed and in fragrant disregard of the law There are many more oper- ated not so openly, but evenly as much in disregard of the law.
 Now the people who operate these ma chimes do so because of the profit that follows their trade. The state Is entitled to a revenue, and for that reason we hope to get through the legislature the bill under discussion. license of $400 per annum Is not too large, and I be- lieve that it will be paid and willingly paid At any rate, those who do pay will benefit the state, and those who do not will be forced out of business. And, as a result, Alabama will be enriched by a large sum of money every year which now 1t does not obtain. I have discussed the bill freely in Montgomery, and I have every reason to believe that 1t will receive favorable report at the hands of the committee to which 1t will be re- ferred. and that it will be eventually m ada infA Ia " O

FOR THE PUBLIC
New Formula Cures Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis and Hoarseness
 In Five Hours

HI EIVG nOUHH
 Much Is being done in these days to stop the ravages of consumption, but probably nothing has been 30 effective as teaching the public how to break up a cold and cure coughs, bronchitis, ton silitis, etc, with simple home-mixed medicine. A laxative cough syrup, free from whiskey Is the prime need. A cough indicates inflammation and con- gestion and these in turn are due to an excess of waste and poison in the system. A tonic laxative cough syrup rids the system of congestion, while relieving the painful coughing. Get the following and mix at home: One- half ounce fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce compound essence cardiol and three ounces syrup white pine com pound. Shake the bottle and take twenty drops every half hour for four hours. Then one-half to one teaspoon full three or four times daily. Give children less according to age. Cut this out and save 1t for some friend.
