Claimed Claude Elldrd Has
 Confessed To Rhed Killing

 HANDLE FREIGHT
New York Man Says His Company Will Open
 Offices Here

Lucien c. Brown of New York, who is very popular in Birmingham. was here yesterday from Savannah. He left yes- terday afternoon for New orleans and will return to Birmingham during the next few days to take up some matters with local railroad operators.
 At Savannah Mr. Brown closed deal with the Central of Georgia railroad for the handling of cotton at that port from ships by means of an electric truck pat termed something like an automobile. The truck is destined to revolutionize the handling of freight in this section, as it has in the east where thorough and practical test has been made.
 In handling baggage at the Terminal station the old method of pulling the trucks still prevails. It is planned by Mr. Brown and the interests he repre- sents 10 install some of the trucks at the Terminal station, to show how very superior they are to the ordinary way of pulling loads about
 MT. Brown has successfully tried out the proposition at the Pennsylvania sta ton in New York, the Terminal in St. Louis and elsewhere and says he feels sure that in this section the new propo- sition will be found available by the railroad operators. He Is personal friend of most of the prominent railroad men in the country. While in this city yesterday he was entertained at the Country and Southern clubs.
 Mr. Brown said yesterday that business was good and that Birmingham was one of the finest cities that he had ever struck. He said Birmingham had Atlanta beaten 100 different ways and Atlanta, you know, is a Get-Rich- -Quick-W Walling- ford proposition" he said.
 birmingham is a real city in every respect" said MT. Brown yesterday. '"The reputation of Birmingham all over this country is one that would do honor to many of the cities that claim the world with a fence around 1t. The wonderful growth of Birmingham coupled with the immense future possibilities of the city give this Alabama metropolis a claim to the widest publicity and popularity. I believe the firms 1 represent will estab- fish offices here within few weeks or during the summer at the latest. We simply must get into the game in Bir mingham.'

UNDERWOOD WILL
 CARRY FLORIDA Dr. John w. 'Stagg Here Last Night-PrOud of
 Florida

pr. John w. Stagg, formerly one of Alabama's best known citizens, but now an enthusiastic resident of Florida, reached Birmingham last night from Nashville, where he had been attending the Conference for Education in the South. pr. stagg will be here for two or three days.
 "I heard Governor Harmon speak at Nashville said Dr. Stagg, and while he is very able man, he is not what you would call an effective speaker. By the way, I suppose you are familiar with the tradition that baldheaded man ean- not be elected President.
 "It now looks very much as though Underwood will carry Florida. He has many of the strongest papers in the state, both daily and weekly, advocating his cause. He has made wonderful record.
 'Florida is glorious state When a man lives there he can understand how the tradition arose which led Honee de Leon to seek the fountain of perpetual youth there There is something about the climate which makes man feel younger all the time and every morning he gets up with the idea that he is ready to take new lease on life. Henry M Flagler used to tell story of a man who went to Florida from New York and the first year wrote back that he was 10 years younger, The next year he wrote back the same thing. The third year he repeated his statement, but added that his only fear now was that he would ultimately die of cholera infantum."

INVESTIGATE DUMP
 |. SITE AT WOODLAWN
Committee Recommendation Impossible-Contemplate
 Other Arrangements

President Exum and Judge Lane Of the city commission yesterday took up the matter of securing another site at Wood lawn for the dumping of garbage, and investigated the site suggested by the Woodlawn committee. which is about a half mile further out than the present dump. On investigating the proposition the commission learned that the owner of the land would not sell part of the land at any price for this purpose, but offered to sell his entire holdings which are about 1io acres. As the city only re- quired about two acres, the proposition could not be entertained. The figure for the 10 acres is understood to have been high and entirely out of the question. The city commissioners, however, arc trying to make other arrangements and will endeavor 10 reach an amicabe set tlemsnt in this matter.
