Riggs Gets Tompkins

Huntsville, May 14.-(Special.) )-Charles Tompkins, star pitcher of the Washing ten and Lee university, and last years best hitting pitcher in the Southeastern league, will report to Manager Riggs of the Huntsville team June l. Tompkins was sold last year to Memphis but was allowed to pursue his studies in college until June 1 by special agreement with Manager Bernhard.
 The Turtle pitching staff is working well and Tompkins is not needed, so the sale has not been consummated. and the twirler will report here instead of at Memphis. Tompsins pitched the last game for his college team for the season of 1912 and made no-run-one-hit record Manager Riggs believes that with Tomp- llns working he will have as strong q team as is necessary to win the South eastern pennant.

 experts to spread the gospel of good
 roads. reached Birmingham yesterday
 under the escort of several well known
 road workers, who met the train in Walker county and came on to Bir- mingham with it.
 The train was switched into the Ter
 ninal station and speeches were made by the local good roads men felici- tating the Frisco management upon the
 notable work that is being done by that company in furthering the bet torment of roads. The speeches lauded the railroad management highly and in answer to the sentiments expressed | by the local workers the officials ex- pressed their great appreciation of the
 warm reception given them in Blr- mingham.
 | Unfortunately the train was met-by only a small gathering of local people,. | said to have been caused by the fact that the train was not allowed to remain here during such hours as would prove | convenient for the majority of the peo- | pie to see the exhibits The train arr l rived after o'clock and will depart
 this morning before o'clock. The hours were said to have been agreed upon
 in general schedule and could not be
 changed. However, the spirit of the re-
 ception yesterday repaid for the small
 ness of the crowd numerically.

 spoke included John Craft, president of
 the Good Roads Association of Ala
 bahama; Job Going, member of the
 board of revenue; Mr. Rountree and others.
 S. A. Hughes of the Frisco lines, in charge of the train, spoke for the com pany and told how much the line ap-
 preciated the reception that had been
 given the train in this city and in Ala | bama. He was followed by H. c. Wells
 of the United States department of public roads, who explained the models and illustrations that are a part of the educational campaign.
 | The train was equipped with models fol good roads, showing the methods em. ployed and recommended by the federal government. The differences in good and
 bad roads was also pointed out by the experts. The train visited several towns in this state yesterday and will return
 over the southeastern division this morn- ing stopping at several places. Resolutions Adopted | Before the meeting adjourned the fol- | lowing resolution was introduced and | adopted:
 | Resolved. That we, the citizens of | Birmingham and good roads advocates as- sembled. most heartily congratulate the | Frisco lines in it's splendid enterprise in | equipping and running the good roads
 train for the education of the people on | the subject of good roads.
 l Resolved further, That we not only
 thank the Frisco road for this train but
 the department of public roads in sending
 the road experts to deliver the entertain. | ing and instructive lectures'

His neck was broken. his chest crushed. and his right hand cut entirely off. It was nearly a half an hour before the train men missed him. and upon searching his mangled remains were found in the switch yards.
