ALABAMA POULTRY {
 MEN WORKING HARD
Mir. McCafferty Says State Has Great Future in Poultry and
 Egg Business

II. J. Mccanerty, vice president cf the Alabama Poultry association, is an en- thusiast regarding Alabama's future as 2. poultry state. Yesterday, while discours- ing about chickens and birds he said:
 .I notice one of the southern poultrs journals of october's issue gives statisties according to the 1910 census on poultry raising in the south, enumerating Geor- gia, Tennessee North and South Carolina and Mississippi, but not mentioning Ala- bama.
 ''This is one point of industry on which Alabama has been a trne backward and has been depending on Tennessee, Mis- soun and other markets for her supply of poultry and eggs, while this state can and does to some extent raise the best breed of birds and chickens known to the south.
 But just watch Alabama grow in thie respect, for she has awakened to a real- ization of the possibilities of the hen and is destined to crow some day over the things to be done in this line by tha whole state. It has been only two weeks since the organizing of the Alabama Poul- try association. and already the arranges merits for the poultry show to be held o13 December 5-9 are outlined and well under way

his trunk packed and taken to the depot and otherwise arranged for leave taking The following morning it was discovered that he had been foully murdered, his body badly mutilated, and then dragged under the cabin which he had been oc- cupying. The money, of which he neces- sarily had a considerable sum. was gone. Suspicion pointed to four young men. and after chase by detectives all were placed under arrest. Two of the accused were released after the preliminary hear ing, but Joe Saulsberry and Wiley Co., forth were held and later indicted by the grand jury. The evidence against them has been secured by detectives and is said to be ample for jury to convict. It is likely that the balance of the week will be consumed in the trial of Sauls- berry and Goforth is to be tried on Tues day of next week.

MURDERED GIRLS BODY IS EXHUMED Brought Back to Boston for
 Examination f "a THE MOVE IS SUDDEN.
  Body Will Be Examined This Morn- csA 2
THE MOVE IS SUDDEN.
Body Will Be Examined This Morn- ing With Only the State Experts Present-Richeson Wites
 Letter to Congregation

Boston, october 24.-Removed today from the grave in the cemetery at Fly annts. the body of Avis Linnel, for whose death by poisoning the Rev L. T. V, Richeson of Cambridge, IS peing held responsible, was brought back to Boston tonight by the order of District Attorney Pelletier. Uncertainty on the part of the prosecution as to the exact manner in which the young girl met her death is reported unofficially to be the reason for the sudden move and the announcement by the district attor- ney's office that the government had enlisted five medico-legal experts gave some strength to this report.
 Officials will also search Miss Lln- nelrs bathrobe which was buried with the body for anything which might have been used as a receptacle for the fatal powder she took. No definite statement as to just what Is expected to be accomplished by the re-examina- tion of the body came from the district attorneys office tonight. It Is under stood examination of the body will be made at o'clock tomorrow morning, Wiln OHiy tHe Sidtt SApCi tS Pi iSoS'''' Attorney Philip R. Dunbar of counsel for Richeson, petitioneds the court this afternoon for permission to have ex- perts for the defense present but the court decided to delay decision until tomorrow.
 Court will open too late to allow de- funse representatives to be present.
 Richeson today addressed the follow ing letter to his congregation at the Immanuel Baptist church, Cambridge:
 Dear Brethren--I appreciate the po- oition in which the church Is now plac- ed, but I ask it's consideration until after the preliminary hearing, or if the grand jury previously meets, then until that time. Most fraternally,
 "CLARENCE V. T. RICHESON.'
 The next regular meeting of the church will be Friday night, the day after the grand jury is expected to be- gin its deliberations. The letter prob ably will be read then and 1t is possible the grand jury may have reached a finding that the church will be able to act oil. The fact that Richeson asked consideration only until after the grand tonight as strong indication of his hope that the government will fall to make out case against him.
 Colonel Thomas Narland Richeson of Amherst, Va., father of the prisoner, arrived in Boston this forenoon and probably will visit his son tomorrow.

ADJUSTMENTS
Creatore's Concerts

Creatore and his band gave two de- lishtful concerts at the Jefferson theatre yesterday and night. The at tendance at the afternoon performance was small, but a fair sized audience greeted the famous conductor when the curtain rang up at S:30 o'clock.
 Both programmes were varied and at tractive In the afternoon Rossini's over ture to "Wiliam Telli was the most ambitious number and it was perhaps the best rendered. Creatore read Into it all the tone color imaginable. The band displayed charming yirtuosity in the pas- toral part and wonderfully brilliant quail ties in the grand finale.
 The overture to '.Mignon" by A. Thomas selections from "Emani" Chopin s 'fMarche Funebre," Nearer My God, to Thee (encore) and Tschaikowsl1y $ overture. "1812, were features of the night concert. The familiar funeral march was so finely played as to be almost like q revelation. Creatore's emotion was dis tinctly there; but the greatest achievement of the evening was the performance of TschaikoWsky' popular overture. In this work the conductor seemed to throw his whole soul. All the nuances were brought out with delicate feeling and the solo instruments were at their best This overture was a splendid ending of rich tone banquet. While Creatore's band is not as faultless this season as it was when 1t appeared here a few years ago, 1t Is still great organization. It had enjoyed the reputation of being a perfect brass and reed band-of being the model by which all other wind bands were to be measured-but today the United States Marine band Is entitled to first place.
 Creatore himself has the same mag netic personality that he had five years ago, and many of his musicians are prob- ably the same he brought here before; but a slight deterioration in information and ensemble was remarked, which, how ever should not be the ease after a little more drilling by the most exacting of all conductors.

The city council at its meeting Mon:
day night decided to go ahead with
the work on the outlet of the sewer
after authorizing slight changes in the
plans on the recommendation of the city
engineer and without waiting for any
opinion from consulting engineer AL
word. 1t is declared that the cost of
the changes suggested will be small
and that in case Engineer Alvord sue
ceeds in convincing the aldermen that
the original plans approved by him are
best that it will be possible to revert
to these plans without much loss.
Most Of the aldermen appeared to be
in a frame of mind where they were
willing to go ahead on any plan that
did not involve any great expenditure
of money rather than consent to any
further delay in the work on the ont
let.

Ten events were run off in the rae
ing meet given under the auspices OF
the Kenosha Motorcycle club at the
Kent Motordrome on Sunday afternoon

thought that the injuries to either of
them were serious. Anderson got the
worst fall of the two and he was taken

no broken bones, but was badly bruis-
ed and was dazed by the shock Of the
fall.

most exciting race being the ten mile

starters. Kenosha riders got away
with their share of the prizes but there

WILL ASK STATE AID
Many Counties of the State
Are Planning to Improve
the Highways
FINAL APPORT|ONMENT Nov |

Although county clerks are not re-
quired by law to report until October
1st the amounts voted by the various
towns and counties for state aid i'm
provement, preliminary reports are al
ready i'll from many of them. Infor-
nation received from this and other
sources would indicate that thirty-five
counties will ask state aid in excess
Of their apportionment, thirty-two will
ask for amounts less than their appor-
tioament, and four counties have tax
Ell no action.
Those counties in which the towns
have failed to vote any money, or
enough money to exhaust the state
aid available for the county, still have
a chance to get state aid if the county
board at a special meeting held on or
equal to two thirds of the cost of the
desired road improvements.
The proceeds OF the county tax, to-
gether with the state money, may be
spent on the county system of prospec-
tive state highways at point selected
by the county board or its committee.
Money voted by the towns, together
witch the county and state aid drawn
by it, must be spent at points on the
system selected by the people of the
town or by the town board.
Final apportionment of the state
money viii be made before November
1st. Blanks on which to report to the
state highway commission all amounts
voted, have been sent to all county
clerks.
