These facts developed at a city commission meeting yesterday when Lee c. Bradley, counsel for the company, requested the city to Install an eight inch water main from the North Birmingham plant to take care of the radiator company plant to be erected.
 MT Bradley said it would be a large plant and very important one. The company officials have investigated the proposition and find that the present four Inch main will not supply the necessary fire protection or demand for commer- cial purposes, hence the petition for more water through a larger main.
 MT. Bradley told the commissioners that the company was in no immediate need of the water, but that assurances must be given of the larger main be- fore the company could go ahead. The company will be several months erect ing the plant, according to reports. The plans for the plant are here in the of fees of William C. Weston, architect for the company, located in Birmingham.

HOLD UPS mark
CHRISTMAS DAY
SERIES OF ROBBERIES XMAS
EVE AND DAY CAUSES PO-
LICE ROUND UP.
KATY DEPOT AGAIN ROBBED
Masked Bandit Again Visits Passcn-
ger Station and Gets Away
With Money.

The pardoning Of many prisoners
and wholesale arrests as a result OF
series Of bold hold-ups, marked
Christmas with the city police de-
partment.
A series Of hold-ups occurred
Christmas eve, with two men, appar-
emily the same ones in each case, as
the highwaymen.
The total amount secured by tho
holdup men was about $50 in money.
No jewelry was taken. The police OBJ
tained from the various descriptions
given by the victims, a fair idea as TO
the identity of the men. Frank
Sweeney, the young man who was re-
Gently convicted Of numbering Clyde
Gobel in a drug store here, and who
is out on bond, pending an appeal in
the case was arrested early yesterday
morning. His alleged pal, Frank
McDaniels, was also taken in custody.
The police are firm in the belief that
these two men were responsible for
some Of the hold-ups at least.
AT o'clock yesterday morning
senger depot was held up by a lone
bandit wearing a mask, and thought
to be the same man who held up the
same station a few mornings ago and
took about $50 from the cash drawer.
Four men and three women were
in the waiting room at the depot
when the bandit entered. He forced
them all to remain in their seats al
the point Of a revolver and then stuck
his gun through the grating OF the
ticket window, with the command for
the ticket agent to produce the con-
tents Of the money drawer. which
was done.
Assistant Police Chief Hanson was
on the scene five minutes afterward,
and within an hour Frank Sweeney
had been arrested as a suspect.
The police dragnet was thrown out
and arrests were made all day long.
Many prisoners were 'sweated" and
a loose chain Of circumstances was
woven about some Of them, that gave
the police hopes that the guilty par
ties would be known by today.
Emma Phillips, sweetheart of
Sweeney, was taken in custody and
when she refused to answer several
questions concerning the movements
Of Sweeney she was thrown in Jail.
Harry Adams, Sandy Mcmillan,
Frank McDaniels and r. b. Moffat
were others who were booked for In
vestlgation.
Sometime during Tuesday night
burglars forced an entrance to the
office of c. A. Poulton on the second
floor of the post office building and
stole two overcoats, a dress suit and
other clothing No trace of the rob-
bers or the stolen goods has yet been
found.
Two negroes became engaged in a
QUARREL yesterday morning on North
Cheyenne avenue near the Frisco
tracks. One of them barricaded him
self In barn and started firing with
a shot gun at the other negro, who
was In house close by. Tho police
made a run on the barn and arrested
the man with the shot gun, who gave
the name of Shlrden Duncan. he
will be charged with dlscharging
firearms inside the city. John Dixon,
the other party to the shooting. is
held on technical charge.
Three six shooters were taken
from as many negro suspects arrest
ed during the day.
