ATTORNEY HANbY
 FIRES AT SHUGART Shooting at Third and Twen-
 tieth Last Night BULLET WENT WIDE Understood Feeling Had Been High Between the Men All Day and That Friends Were Trying
 to Pacify Them
BULLET WENT WIDE

James NJ Hanby. an attorney. fired shot at Roland T. Shugart. also an attorney, at the corner of Third ave- nue and Twentieth street at o'clock last night The bullet missed shugart the Gum Drug company. Hanby was disarmed and arrested by Officer Per kerson He was released last night on bond
 large crowd was on the street at the time of the shooting and 1t was considered remarkable that no one was injured. The men met on the side walk at the Gum corner and 1t is not known just what words passed be- tween them. Hanby suddenly fired and Shugart dashed into the Gum drug store.
 officer Perkerson was only a few yards up Third avenue in the direc- ton of the Stag saloon and seeing the group on tho corner he ran toward them and reached Hanby just as he fired He seized Hanbys arms from behind and wrested his pistol from him. Policeman Cole also reached the scene immediately after the firing
 When arrested Hanby insisted that Shugart had met him and told him he was going to kill him. No man can threaten my life" he kept repeat ing He threatened to kill me on sight"
 The cause of their trouble is not known definitely, but 1t is said to have been brewing all day and friends had been trying to make peace between them. The two attorneys occupy adjoining offices on the eighth floor of the Farley building anu there Is one room between them which they have been using as joint re- oeptlon room. It is understood that Shu- gart objected to some of visitors Hanby had been having in the offices and had repeatedly remonstrated. The culminatiop is said to have come yesterday morning when Shugart caused the arrest of one of these visitors whom he considered ob- sectionable.
 After the shooting last night Shugart told Patdolman Ivey that he ran because he did not want to kill Hanby, and that he could not afford to have any trouble with him because of Hanbys infirmity.

EVANS DECLINES TO TALK OF LAMAR BOOKS
Examiner Was in Birmingham Yes- terday En Route to Cleburne
 County

Frank V Evans one of the examiners of public accounts for the state, passed through Birmingham yesterday after having completed an examination of the books of Lamar county. He is now en route to Cleburne county.
 He declined to discuss q press report . from Montgomery concerning the result of his examination in Lamar. The re- port in question was to the effect that he had found shortages in the books of the county amounting to a sum in bookkeeping and the expenditure of money for office supplies, which ex- penditures were not legally authorized. The report says also that as soon as the announcement was made by Mir. Evans that he had found the county due the state a certain amount of money, the officials concerned prompt ly paid the sum.
 T cannot talk of this matter" stated MT. Evans. "The report has beeen sent to the governor, and it Is for him to give out the details. However. if any errors were found in the hooks of the county, I am positively convinced that they did not develop as a result of intentional wrong doing. And further the present time owes the state noth- Ing"
 The report on Lamar county was mailed to Governor ONeal Tuesday afternoon.

BIRMINGHAM FIRM
 GETS B|G CONTRACT
T. c. Thompson & Go. to Erect Cotton Mill at
 Danville, Va.

One of the largest contracts ever let to single firm has within the past few days been awarded to the firm of T. c. Thompson X Co. of Charlotte, N. c, and Birmingham by the Dan River Cotton Manufacturing company of this city, for the construction of a million and a half dollar mill at schoolfeld, which will be known as Mill No 4, according to the psnville, Va. Register
 The work upon this new mammoth construction Is to be commenced with cut delay and is to be completed in nine months.
 The new mill Is to have 75.0oO splndes and 40o0 looms. will be 5s feet wide, 46i feet long, and will be four stories high The weave shcd which will be a sepa- rate construction. will be 3l5 feet by 45o and two stories high.
 Together the two buildings will contain 1000 tons of steel much concrete, 5O0, GOO bricks and 5.000Oo feet Of lumber
 About dozen bids were received by the cotton mill company, and after careful inquiry into each one of them, the most satisfactory one was that sub mltled by the Thompson company, through Mir. Harry Zelgler. the secretary and treasurer of the firm.
 This Is one of the largest mill con tracts that has been let in the south in. recent years and when completed the local mills will be the largest anywhere in the southern states. The Dan River already Is operating 230.000 spindles and 7b0O looms in the various mills here. and with the new mill added 10 these there will be 9s0 000 spindles and 1i,5oo looms spinning yarn and turning cut cloth.
 Messrs Lockwood, Green x Co of Boston is to be the engineering firm in charge of this work
 With the construction of so large rant it is naturally supposed that more dwellings will be constructed by the cot ton mill company at Schoolfeld for the housing of the many new employees who wilt be required to operate the new fac tory when completed
 The site of the new cotton mill will be practically adjoining Mil No. g. or at that Toint where the railway siding branches off from the main southern line to come into the mill yard.

 One reason I so strongly recommend fnerC oized wax is that it really takes the place of several different cosmetics. saving time patience and expense. It is better than any cleansing cream bet ter than any massage cream. and better than any rouge. for accomplishing the results for which such articles are used. As tho wax actually absorbs an old. faded or discoored cntcle q little each day, the underlying skin which gradu- ally appears, Is clearer. softer hsalthier- hued and more youthful than any cosme- tie-made complexion. Spreading on a thin coat of this wax at night. washing !t off mornings. in week or so pro- duees a marvellous transformation.

State Hospitals Provided for BY In.

Some institutiens Must Practice
Economy to Care For Wards-May
Ask Change in Plan to Raise Funds.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, June 20.-Some of the
state institutions need larger revenues
to properly perform the functions for
which they are maintained, and the
legislature will be asked to do some
thing to give the increased revenues.
This fact was brought out at the quar-
terly conference Of heads Of institu-
tioEs this week. In recent years the
state hospitals have had their rev.
enues increased by larger per capita
allowance. but other institutions. not
ably those at Eldora, Anamosa. Knox
vile and Davenport, have funds only
for the actual necessities of life.
That which many Of the persons
connected with these institutions de-
sire is sufficient funds so that there
shall be work done in making special
study and research and in doing some
thing more for the wards Of the state
than to merely minister to their phys
ical needs.
1t Is possible that there will be rec
commended to the legislature q plan for
tho support Of all the institutions by
direct state revenue instead Of by
per capita allowance paid by the coun-
ties from which the wards come.
