JAMES JEFFERSON
 CHEATS GALLONS
Columbus Man Sentenced to Hang for Killing Officer
 Takes Poison

Columbus. Ga, April 12.-James Jeffer- son, who was to have been hanged here today, committed suicide in his cell early this morning. He took poison soon after midnight and died at 3:30 o'clock in spite of efforts of several doctors. Where he got the drug Is not known. He killed Policeman Marion Marchante several months ago. After repeated appeals to Governor Brown to save him the death watch was set over the condemned man last night.
 There was still a bare possibility that the governor would take some action at the eleventh hour, although the exec utivc had repeatedly refused to interfere with the mandate of the courts.
 Jefferson evidently thought all hope was gone. Soon after midnight he remarked that he wanted, a drink of water. He went to a cooler, got the drink and then said he would sleep some. His unusual breath Ing and increasing pallor were noticed by the watchers. They summoned physi- clans. Tthey were too late. Jefferson shot and killed the officer while resist ing arrest Fellow prisoners declared he had several times said he would not hang.

OCEAN GREYHOUND COSTSS10,0OO,OOO North German Lloyd Will Build Liner Larger Than
 the Olympic

New York, April 12.-The cabled am nouncement from Bremen that the North German Lloyd company has given orders for the building of new liner larger than any now iq it's service is explained here to mean that a liner of 54.000 tons, 5000 bigger than the Olympia and Titanic, is to be launched to put Germany again in the first place in the transatlantic service It is stated, moreover, that the new liner, to be named after one of the great leaders in American history, will be the first of a fleet of similar boats designed to take the place of liners of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse percentage These latter boats probably will be util- ized for a service from New York to San Francisco by way of the Panama canal i
 The new ship, which will cost about s1O. .OO0O00, will be the last word in ocean luxury There will not be an ordinary berth to be improved in the entire ser vice. There will be bed for every one from the millionaire down to the humble steerage passenger.
 The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse 10 years ago was one of the fastest and largest liners ahoat. The new ship will be al- most four times as large. It will be more than three times as big as the bat tleship Connecticut. the flagship of the United States Atlantic feet

MRS. HARRISON STEWART MATTHEWS
 Chairman Xxi rmess Ball

tality or St. Mary's Free Kindergarten to extend their patronage and help us to realize a generous sum for these Chari- ties"
 You understand that the proceeds of the Kirmess Ball." continued Mrs. Mat thews, will be used to defray the ex- penses of the Krmess, so that all that was made at the Kirmess performances can be used for these Charities. There was an immense expense attached to the Kirmess as you'd suppose, and for that reason it was deemed necessary to ar range the Kirmess Ball in order to defray them and have nice sum left for the beneficiaries."
 "I should think that in either case the Society for the Prevention of Infant Mor- talty or St Marys Free Kindergarten, strong appeal would be made to the community for support?'' I suggested. Anyone who has ever visited either institution Mrs. Matthews answered. Twill tell you of the effective and splen- did work that has been accomplished by the women who have given their time and energy and efforts to the support of these two charities. As the summer approaches disease and sickness come among the children who are cared for by the Society for the Prevention of Infant Mortality, | and they need milk and nourishing fopd- medicines and other things-and the funds that accrue from the Kirmessi will be much appreciated. The same holds good with St. Mary's Free Kindergarten l Nobody but those connected with the work can realize the great amount of good l that has been accomplished by this Char I ty. One thing that is desired by those l in charge of the work is to pay off rhe
 debt on the All Saints Parish House. which was built some time ago. Of couree, | the current expenses of the Kindergarten are paid by the parishioners of St. Mary's
 but the debt on the building is a different
 natter.
 "In regard to the selection of the Kins l and Queen for the kirmess Ball, how is 1 that to be arranged?' I asked.
 At the last performance of the Kirmess I the vote Is to be counted and the dance which is voted the prettiest is to be re-
 produced at the Kirmess Ball on Monday evening" was the reply. Then the par
 tioipants of that dance will have the priv
 elege of electing the King and Queen of
 the Ball.
 There are to be many other features hesides,' said Mrs, Matthews in con i cusion, among them being a rafflins l contest for some beautiful boxes of candy which have been donated to the Kirmess Ball by large New York firm who Is 1 interested in the event There really will
 no; be dull moment at the Ball. This can assure you, and we anticipate a fine
 attendance and the greatest cooperation i from those, not only who have partici. pated in the Kirmess- but from those whj
 have worked so ardently for the succeV 1 of it." T

For the past few weeks Birmingham has been all agog with the Kirmess, the large number of participants enlisting the interest of many and the splendid Charities for which 1t is given appealing to nearly everybody. either one way or another, in this big, busy city.
 The brilliant performances. the last of which will be given with the close of to- day. have been the most magnificent that Birmingham has ever seen in an amateur way
 After such regal entertainment, what more fitting finale than brilliant ball. at which to chat over the various dances, the singing, the dancing and everything connected with the Kirmess?
 It is a very happy idea, and on Monday evening this superb climax will go down in the history of Birmingham Society as one of the successful events of the sea- son, one never to be forgotten for it's elegance and brilllancy.
 No happier idea could have been con ceived than the selection of Mrs. Harrison Stewart Matthews as the Chairman of the Kirmess Ball.
 As hard as we may try to get away from personalities, 1t Is most difficult thing to accomplish, and people look upon the Kirmess Ball as Mrs. Matthews own Ball-a fact which appeals to her num- berless friends and which they regard as a significant factor in it's success.
 Always gracious, charming, clever and vivacious, always eager to lend her ef- fcrts to every good cause that can be benefited by her energy and enthusiasm Mrs. Matthews is an ideal hostess, one who is calculated to preside over this brilliant function with a grace and ease which is innate with her, her sweetness and her Kindness of heart always predom- mating and making her one of the most popular women who has ever graeed Bir- mingham society.
 "Of course with the kirmess Ball, foi' lowing so closely upon such magnincent even; as the Charity Ball. Mrs. Matthews said yesterday, in discussing the forth coming affair, there will naturally be a great deal of interest manifested, anc probably quite a bit of comparison, but as matter of fact we are not going to try in any way to rival the previous Ball. but give the Kirmess Ball on a much more simple basis. We expect to make it a most enjoyable and delightful event, and to make everybody have a good time, and we are anxious for every | =-,- who. is Interested either in the So
