PATROL CHAUFFEUR
 RUNS OVER A BOY
Erskine Hawkins of West End Has His Leg
 Broken

While driving the police patrol auto- mobile from the West End police station yesterday afternoon, Patrol Chauffeur John Palmer accidentally ran over Frs kline Hawkins. aged 13 years. 1223 Tusca- loosa avenue, and broke the boys leg.
 Erskine and about 25 or 90 other young sters were playing football at Tusca- loosa avenue and Elyton street when Palmer came by. Witnesses to the acci- dent state that Palmer was not going over four miles an hour at the time the acci- dent occurred. The football with which they were playing rolled in front of the automobile and little Hawkins dashed after 1t, running about three feet in front of the car Palmer slapped on all the brakes but the ear did not stop until the front wheel had passed over the lit tie boys body.
 Palmer stopped and picked him up and rushed to q doctors office across the street. where the boy was given medl- cal treatment. Palmer remained with him until he was ordered back to town by one of the West End officers, who took charge of the boy.
 The accident was reported by Palmer to Chief of Police George H. Bodeker as soon as the latter reached the Birmingham stations. Erskine's play mates state that the chauffeur was not 10 blame for the accident. and that the little fellow himself ran right in front of the automobile without looking. The boy was taken to his home.

DEFER PROBE OF
 SLOSS CONTRACT
No Action Taken at Confer ence Yesterday - Carry
 Case to Montgomery

The investigation into the terms of the contract under which state convicts are employed at the present time by the sloss-sheffield Coal and Iron company
 has been deferred until next week. Be
 tween the governor, Attorney General
 Brickell and J. c. Oakley, president of
 the convict board. and President J. c.
 Maben, J. C. Maben, Jr., and Jones G. Moore of the Sloss company. the contract was discussed for several hours yester- day morning After the conference Gov ernor O'Neal announced that no action
 had been taken.
 As explained yesterday morning the sys- tenn of docking convicts an equal weight
 of slate that Is contained in the coal
 mined, a system for which, the state claims, no section of the contract pro vides. Is one of the points at issue. From
 what can be gathered, T. c. Dawson, state warden at Flat Top, has represented 10 the executive department of the state
 that as a result of this system the state
 has been "docked" about 25S tons of coal since January 1.
 The Sloss officials. as stated yesterday
 contend that this docking" system is
 in vogue everywhere. and that it is ap-
 piled 10 free as well as convict labor. As 10 whether or not the price per ton
 to be paid the state by the company for coal mined by the convicts will be con l sidered, cannot be learned The price paid at the present time is 4212 cents per l ton delivered at the neck of the rooms. It | is said that the Sloss people paid the | state during the regime of Governor | Conner 70 cents per ton delivered at tha ! neck of the rooms.
 | That the Sloss officials representation
 to Governor O'Neal that Governor Conner 1 had charged them so high price that 1 ther profits were consumed was the
 reason for the lower figure granted by l the state, was intimated yesterday by state officials. No authoritative state
 ment in this regard, however, can be ob- l tained
 1 Governor O'Neal stated that the exact day on which the investigation win be re- l sumed has not been agreed upon. He said, 1 however. that the remaining details of | the contract would be gone over by the
 state and Sloss officials in Montgomery.

 an Hour

William Jennings Bryan, thrice nomi- mated and thrice defeated for the presi- dency of the United States. and still one of the greatest Americans, was In Bir- mingham yesterday
 He came unheralded and unsung, and unlike on other occasions the citizens of Bi mingham did not throng the streets to do him honor.
 Mir. Bryan arrived about Il o'clock, and with Bryan romlinson. the young son of the late Col. John W Tomlinson, spent an hour here. The man of Nebraska who won nomination for the presidency by the famous "erown of thorns, cross of gold' speech, had no desire to see the people. With young Tomlnson, in whom he is greatly interested. he walked up and down In front of the Terminal station.. Many men who recognized the great dem- ocrat stared. But that he was attracting attention escaped Mir Bryan.
