FERD MARKS PORTER
 IS FOUND GUILTY
Negro Was Charged With Syste- matic Stealing-James Ballard
 Is Acquitted

John Dixon, colored, charged with grand larceny in three separate cases, was bound over yesterday by Judge I. H. Ben- ners in the first division of the inferior court under $500 bond in each instance The defendant was charged with having carried on a series of systematic thefts from the store of Ferd Marx, where he was employed as a porter.
 A number of very valuable articles which he Is said to have stolen were found by Officers Sgsbee and Zegler of the po- lice department, secreted in the house of Ida Hoistein, who is charged with con- plicity In the case. The prosecution was conducted by Attorney Jim Long for Ferd Marx, with the result that the de- fendant was bound over to await the ac- ton of the grand jury.
 James Ballard, charged with grand lar ceny, was tried yesterday by Judge H. B. Abernethy in the second division of the inferior court and acquitted.

legislation, action on the part of the legislature of Alabama as to whether it can continue to hold the vast areas of property in this state without mak- ing effort to develop 1t?
 I do not, for a moment, believe that the building of the steel mill was stopped because the bill was introduced and reported favorably, nor do l be- lieve that the Steel corporation has entered upon a policy of coercion or rashness, or has any misapprehension to its ability to market its products. To you know that the Southern Iron and Steel company, which makes wire at Gadsden and which is not nearly so strong financially as the Steel corpor- ctlon, Is competing with the foreign manufacturers by selling its wire at satisfactory profit In Cuba? A reliable gentleman stated that he priced a hundred miles of wire from England and found that he could buy there Pittsburg wire. pay freight and have it delivered in Tennessee cheaper than he could buy the same wire in Pitts burg and have 1t delivered In Tennes- see. Do such incidents as this indi- cate the necessity for closing down in- dustries? The occasion for stopping work at Corey demands, and probably has, better reason than you have as- signed. At any rate, if the Steel cor oration does not mean to affect legis- lation by bringing distress upon the cople, it Is exceedingly unkind, by editorial inference, to make 1t appear In that role. E. K. CAMPBELL.

Resolutions Adopted Yes terday to Make Birming-
 ham Headquarters

The Tennessee "Fusionists' met as usual yesterday morning at the Chamber of Commerce building, and in short ses- sion adopted resolutions to make Bi~- mingham permanent headquarters for the body. The plan of visiting Atlanta an.i points along the coast has been aban- doned and the solons will enjoy them selves In the Magic City until April % when the legislature of Tennessee official ly adjourns.
 Other than their meeting yesterday morning the legislators passed an un- eventful day. They continue to receive numberless letters of commendation from their constituents in Tennessee, and one sympathizer has sent them as an ap- predatory offering large box of smok- ing tobacco, that they may build dreams of peace at home in smoke rings and be contented during their voluntary ban- ishment.
 The Tennesseans are very hopeful over the outlook, especially in consideration of the hearty indorsement and well-wish- ing they receive from so many of tho folks back home. They feel confident that they have saved the day by the filibuster expedition and are glad frr having made the fight

COUNTY BLIND
 TIGERS RA|DED Deputy Sheriffs Visit Places at Pinckney City, Repub-
 lie and Adamsville

Some raids were made yesterday by the sheriff's deputies all over the county. About ssooo worth of beer. whisky, wine, campagne and gin was confiscated by the deputies and the raids yesterday and Wednesday are the largest ever made oy Sheriff McAdory
 The deputies making the raids were Chief Deputy D. F. Sugg, Chief Clerk Walter Metcalfe, Deputies Steele Chew, McDuff, Merriman, Curl and Helton. The deputies searched Pinckney City, Repub- lie and Ahamsville with great success.
 Up to late hour last night heavy drays were coming into the jail laden with the spells of the raids. There were more thin eight wagon loads of the visited. Added to the store that Sheriff McAdory already has on hand this will nearly fl the storeroom at the county iail and 1t is expected that orders from the cours as to the disposition of the confiscatsd wet goods will be received in a few days.
 One hundred cases of whisky \ ere found at Pinckney City, three wagon loads at Republic and one at Adamsville- The rading deputies returned to Bir- minghah yesterday afternoon but off cials stlte that other raids will be made in the near future If the wholesale vio- lation of the prohibition laws do not cease.
 Immediately after the deputies left Re public the men arrested are said to have telepfoned to Pinckney City warning that the deputies were on the trail of the Hind tigers only to receive the re- ply tiat it was too late as they already had tnem

favorable freight rate to the European makers of these products.
 Pending the uncertainty regarding the tariff on wire and related products, the Steel and Wire company felt that they were no in a position to complete the steel and wire plant, as originally outlined and as carried forward until a recent date.
 During this readjustment they have. very naturally, as would become any large manufacturer, decided to await the final outcome of the present measure, in order that they may more intelligently govern themselves as to the size and nature of the completed plant.
 Ut is also to be noted that hoops and cotton ties have been included in the list. Needless to say this, feature would have a very direct, bearing on the construction of cotton tie plant which is one of the forms of finished product which they had hoped to construct in the reasonably near future.'

Birmingham Merchants All Optimistic Over Outlook
 for Business
SOME REASONS FOR
 THE BUOYANT VIEW
City Occupies Exceptionally Strong Ground as Trading Center and Is No Longer Dependent on
 Any One Industry

The prevailing sentiment in commercial circles of Birmingham yesterday was one of optimism over the business outlook Merchants generally looked upon the sus- pension of construction work on the wire mill at tCorey as only temporary.
 Numerous reasons are given for taking an unusually buoyant view for summer and fall trade. Among them are the gen orally healthy conditions underlying the whole country and the enormous crops of all kinds Birmingham has numerous small industries and the promise of a great many more. Construction work of all kinds is remarkably active. Bank de- posits are healthier than ever. Conser- vatism in state affairs has made a most favorable impression on outside capital The discovery of natural gas in such enormous quantities in the Fayette held has given promise of abundant and cheap fuel for hundreds of small industries which will surely flock to the communl- ty which can offer such Inducements.
 As one merchant said: There was a time when the closing down of the Bir- mingham rolling mill gave everybody in Birmingham the blues. But that time IS past Birmingham has become too big and too great to be dependent on any one in- dustry. While we regret that work should be temporarily stopped on the Corey plant, we must realize that we are really losing little, because the mill was an industry which we looked forward to having, but which we had not yet se- cured.'
 Birmingham's whoesale trade has taken enormous strides in the past few years and the city is now in better position than ever before to profit by the bumper crops which are in prospect and the phe- nomenal development work in progress all over the state.
 Taken altogether, Birmingham mer- chants believe the city to occupy excep- tionally strong ground.

NO SOFT DRINK
 STANDS IN PARKS
Commissioners DisallOw Petition for Opening of Place at Avon
 dale Park

No chewing gum. soda pop, sliced watermelon and assorted ice cream cones will be offered for sale in the city parks of Birmingham, not if the Board of Com- missioners has the power to gainsay the wish of ambitious merchants.
 At the meeting yesterday an application to operate soft drink stand in Avon dale park came up for consideration. President Exum gave 1t as his opinion that such stands should not be encour- aged and that the board would not make a mistake in disallowing the petition. This custom, he explained, had prevailed with the old city council
 j The commissioners observed the sug- geston and the petition was disallowed. The opinion is held that deleterious con ditions frequently spring up from such stands operated in the city parks. and besides the parks as playgrounds are public domains.
 The petition was disallowed and a pre- cedent established which will guide the commissioners in reference to others of like nature.
