OFFICIALS CONFER |. ON NLEW|SbURG CASE McAdory, Heflin and BOde-
 ker Have Long Talk RUMORS FLY THICK
Everyone Working on the Case Is Maintaining the Strictest Secrecy. Important Developments Ex-
 pected in Near Future

The clouds are settling ominously in the Lewisburg case. JG-t who wili get wet when the burst comes, is still a matter Of conjecture, but il Is cer- tain someone is going to get drenched. Officers are working with renewed in- terest on the case a,,I the eorouers jury is promised something interesting when it reconvenes next Wednesday.
 Nothing startling developed yesteT- day except That Sherir- McAdory, So- licitor Heflin and Chief of Police Bod- eker held a secret conference in the 1atter's office of over two hours dura- ton. The trend of the conference was not made public. In fact. neither of the participants would discuss the mat ter al all.
 The meeting is interpreted by all 10 have considerable significance. some hold that 1t was merely harmony meeting. eradicating any alleged frlc- ton which might have occurred in handling the case, whli, others are of an entirely different orfnion.
 One opinion is that they were com pairing notes on the case, finding just what the mon working under each of them had gathered and putting two and two together. still others think that they were planning more definite line of action.
 Yesterday afternoon about 3;l5 o'clock Solicitor Heflin called on Chief Bodeker at police headquarters and tho two had a conference of about half an hour When they came out of consul tation both wore satisfied looks cn their faces and they left headquarters together.
 Both deputy sheriffs end police were busy all day yesterday running here and there on the case, but nothing was given out. Everything was reported directly to either the sheriff. the so 1icitor or the chief of solice.
 It Is expected that the promised sen sa ton will drop" within the course of few days. In the meantime all Ia quiet.

PAINFUL LEWISBURG SILENCE

The officers working on the Lewisburg case have recently developed chronic cases of lockjaw. tetanus or some like disease which prevents them from talk ing. They cannot discuss the Lewisburg matter at all. However, it is phenomenal the number of subjects that d mention of Lewisburg will bring to their minds.
 It is hard matter to tell just which officer is the worst affected. All seem to have it bad, and worse than that. here seems to be no cure for it soon. A re- porter accosted Sheriff Walter K. Me Adory yesterday and said
 well, sheriff, what's doin in the Lew isburg case? Anything new?'
 'Beastly weather we're having, don't { you think?" was the sheriff's intelligent and highly pleasing rejoinder.
 The reporters comment of the weather need not be chronicled, but he stuck to his subject. Has Teek Duncan confessed yet MT McAdory?"

GIRL |S DEAD AND MAN MAY DIE ASA RESULT OF WRECK North BesSemer Car Strikes Wagon Containing Four
 Italians
WAGON COVERED AND
 COULD NOT SEE CAR
Car Partially Demolished and Motor man Moore Iniured-Motorman Says He Saw the Wagon
 and Whistled a Warning

Running at full speed through special car to Bessemer struck a wagon contain ing four Italians yesterday morning at 9:so o'clock, at South Park station, de- a great extent, killed Willie Ressle, aged 10 years. and injured Sam Rinaldo. Amelia Rinaldo and Sedastiano Doppi. The street car was put out of commits sion. South Park is on the North Besse- semer car line just beyond Fairview. The dead girl and those injured resided in Ensley. Rinaldo's back is broken and it is expected that he will not recover. The others are seriously injured.
 The Italians were in the wagon com ing toward Birmingham when the car struck them. The glass front of the car was shattered and Motorman John Moore was severely cut by the falling particles. News of the accident reached the city by telephone and ambulances at once went to the scene. Lge Loy, Johns Undertaking company, Shaw X Son and Echols X Angwine were undertakers who sent their ambulances there. The in- iured people were rushed to St. Vim vents hospital where they remained until the afternoon when they were transferred to pr. Chassis infrm- ary on Twenty-sixth street. between Sev- enth and Eighth avenues. It was stated there last night that they were all in a serious condition, and that Rinaldo was not expected to recover.
 Motorman Moore states that he has was coming toward this crossing at full speed, he saw the wagon approaching the cross ing and whistled for them to stop. He says they came on and when he saw that the impact was certain, il was too late for him to stop. He states that the top of the wagon was covered with canvas which prevented them from seeing the car coming He admitted that tho car was running at full speed. Conductor T.. w. Wright states that he heard the motorman whistle shrilly several times before the wreck occurred.
 The Italians arc new immigrants to this country, having recently come from Naples, Italy. They live in Ensley where Rinaldo runs a store. The rest of them live with him. The body of the girl who died from her injuries was taken in charge by the Johns Undertaking com pany. where it is being held pending funeral arrangements.

GRAND
 JURY ADJOURNS Two Indictments Found, But Nothing Sensational Is
 Reported

The federal grand jury submitted two indictments yesterday and upon request was dissolved by the court. Nothing out of the routine was re- ported by the jury. The sessions have been marked by hard work and 1t is said that some very sensational ut terenees are part of the record of that Investigating body
 The work of the grand Jury has been characterized with great thoroughness as the members of 1t were among the best known men of this district. They went into the blind tiger situation at the request of the department ot justice and returned indictments for wholesale" blind tigers in addition to the ordinary retail variety. The work of the grand jury was also directed against the iniquities of the fee sys- tenn, but nothing could be done in that connection, according to the report
 Former Mayor George B. Ward was foreman of the jury.

BEGIN ADVERTISING
 AVIATION MEET Tons of Matter and Big Corps of Men Sent Out
 Yesterday

Tons of pictorial art and other publicity automobile show and races at the Ala bama States Fair grounds from April l5 to 20, under the auspices of the Business Mems league and conducted by the Der ger Aviation company, went out yesterday to city and country. A staff of 2 adver- using men were engaged in the work and large force of bill posting experts.
 The campaign thus started will continue for a week or more, as every hamlet and town within a radium of 100 miles of Birmingham is to come within the drag net Of these busy workmen.
 All of the railroads have been posted and the railroads are putting up adver- Using matter in the depots. This work, together with the liberal use of the out side newspapers will bring the big spring celebration to the attention of every body.
 As over 100000 people arc expected to at tend the great meet it has been feared by some that the street car service would be inadequate for handling such great aggregation of people. The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, how ever is well provided to handle as large a crowd as can be attracted here, and so Birmingham is unlike most cities in this respect. The local system will have many extra cars running to the Alabama State State Fair grounds during the big meet, and the pleasure seekers will be well taken care of
 Each days mail to the Business Mems league brings requests from people who want to fly" The average run of these are both humorous and original The reasons why the petitioners wish to emulate the birds are as varied as the colors of the coat of Joseph
 An aggressive campaign is on for deco rating the city. Secretary Frank r. Cbsffe of the Business Mems league has sent out, and is still sending out. letters business men that they deco rate their places of business during the big meet No particular form of gala att tire is asked for, simply that they deco rate and observe the big spring celebra- ton by bunting, festoons, flags, flowers, electrical illumination or other forms. The requests leave the matter to the individ- ual tastes of the business men. Also in of the wishes of the large crowds of people living within d distance of 100 miles of Birmingham. and who wish to attend the meet, all the rail- roads have agreed 10 make very low rates

Ing better every day. In fact l don't think the rest of them have a look in, :" commented the sheriff
 Are your orders regarding anyone not being allowed to sec Teek Duncan being observed to the letter?" inquired the re- porter
 '"rhe boys seem to be registering right along today, don't they?" replied Mir. MeAdory.
 And so it goes. They all turn it off. It is positively a physical impossibility for them 10 talk about Lewisburg. Even Chief of Police Bodeker is affected but not in the same way. He has lockiaw proper He can't talk about anything. The only words which he can articulate are Nothing to say
 Solicitor He1in smiles and turns away. He, too, has nothing to say" It's strange, the number of people these days who have nothing to say. The colonel has nothing to say; the sheriff has notn- ing to say; the chief has nothing to say: the solicitor has nothing to say; the cor oner has nothing to say.

Arbitrary and Unjust

"Our contention is that the present clas- sincation based on historical interests is arbitrary and unjust, for place that is making history Is more interesting than one which has it.
 We contend that neither Vicksburg nor Chattanooga affords as much interest to the average traveller as Birmingham or Atlanta or Nashville, or Memphis. We contend that classification based on 10000 population or over Is just and reasonable and would doubtless meet with the ap- proyal of the interstate commerce com mission.
 We believe that the contention of the carriers as expressed in the communica- tion 10 the Chamber of Commerce of At lanta, to-wit: The extension of the prac- tice if valuable to the travelling public will be unreasonably burdensome to the carriers is an unjustifed apprehension. If stopover privileges are granted to com murities of 10000 or over, and it should prove burdensome to the carriers, we would not insist here in Birmingham on the continuance of the practice, but we would like 10 have an opportunity of d practical demonstration as to whether stopoVer privileges would prove burden some to the carriers or not. We know that the denial of them is hurtful to this community Until tried out we do not know that the granting of them will be hurtful to the carriers. Yours truly, "CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OF BIR-
 MINGHAM."

signed principally as bachelor quarters, the we'll known Pickwick apartments in Atlanta being cited as an example of the character of construction contemplated.
 The fact that this handsome structure is contemplated for the South Highlands sectlon adds renewed interest to the re- eent activity in building circles. Several handsome apartment houses have been announced within the past few days which apparently adds to the contention frequently made that Birmingham is in need of and will patronize liberally this character of building.
 The Joy Construction company includes S. Scott Joy, the well known architect, and T. H. Joy, who Is equally well known as an engineer The company is one of the best known in the city and it's largest recent undertaking was the building of the new Young Mems Christian ssso- ciation building which is now nearing the final stages.
