United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry Company Announces Big Improvements at Bessemer
 and North Birmingham

In addition to the cost of rebuilding the North Birmingham plant, it is announced by the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company that their plant at Bessemer will undergo repairs, costing no less than s150,0OO. The statement yes- terday that the North Birmingham plant would be rebuilt at a cost of Sl50,000 runs the total expenditures of the company on the two plants up to S3O0000. It is believed that the above liberal appropria- ton will be even exceeded in the large amount of improvement work to be done here by the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company.
 The repairs at Bessemer will consist principally of rebuilding the shops of the company. installing new machinery and otherwise placing the plants in excellent condition. The work at Bessemer will be started when the North Birmingham plant is completed, which will be about May i. according to the programme heretofore outlined. The shutdown at Bessemer will transfer the larger part of the operations to North Birmingham which will not ne- cessitate the slightest interruption to or ders held by the company.
 The company preparing to perfect two finely equipped plants here consumes Q large amount of pig iron every year, which is bought right here in Brming- ham.
 In the past with one plant at Bessemer the company has sold pipe to many larga western cities and has shipped iron pipe to all of the pricipal southern countries. Their powers of competition will be very much greater, it is believed, when the better equipped plants are ready for oper- ation.

CORONER PROBES BESSEMERLYNCH|NG Fails to Fix Blame for the
 Negro's Death M'ADORY DISAGREES
DISAGREES
Coroner States Gagliano Should Be Released and Sheriff Refuses to Do So-Mr. Brasher
 Makes Statement

The case of the Bessemer Iynehins Sunday has assumed quite a complex espeet. The eoroner's jury yesterday in- paneled to investigate the case and dx the blame of the episode, rendered d verdict .tha. John Prentiss, alias chand- ler' came to his death from gunshot wounds in the hands of Italians whose names are unknown to this jury"
 They did not involve the name of Louis Gagliano, the Italian who Is in the county jail charged with having fired the first shots at the negro, and refused to in volve the names of anyone else. Cor oner Brasher last night stated emphat-
 cally that he thought that the Italian held in jail should be released from GUS tody on the strength of the evidence in uoduced at the inquest. Sheriff Walter K. McAdory stated equally as emphat- icaIly that he would hold Gagiano at all hazards for preliminary trial. and fur. thermore was going to push the case as far as any official could.
 There seems to be some spirit of re- sentiment against Coroner Brasher for holding the inquest In the star chamber mode, but the coroner defends himself by saying that 1t has been his policy since he has been coroner to hold such inquests behind closed doors. He states that in his opinion the eoroner's jury is an inquisitorial body and the delib- erations of it should be as secret as those of the grand Jury and that he proposes that it shall be so.
 He stated last night that Deputy Sl1er- if Parker. in whose charge the negro Chandler was at the time he was shot, refused to swear before the jury at Bes- semer yesterday that Louis Gagliano shot Chandler as has been claimed. Coroner Brasher said:
 MT. Parker was asked If Gagliano shot Chandler, to which Mr. Parker re- piled that the Italian pressed the pis- tol to the back of the negro. He would not swear, though, that Gagliano fired Mir. Parker said after the shooting he procured Gagliano,s postol and found four empty chambers. How many bull let holes were there in the negros back?' MT. Parker was asked. Four teen,' MT. Parker replied.
 Coroner Bra9her stated that two wit nesses at the inquest swore that Gagliano was in the funeral process sion and did not leave his carriage until after several shots had been fired The names of the witnesses were not disclosed. Sheriff McAdory states, that according to information in his posses sion, Gagliano was not in the process sion at all, but had been lurking near where the shooting took place for sev- eral hours.
 A preliminary trial will be given Gagliano one day this week, the ex- act date having not yet been decided upon, se.

 ing Out Details

Officials of the Roden Hotel company, to erect a sl,00O,00O hotel at the corner of Fifth avenue and Eighteenth street, con- catering companies as to the lease on the new hotel and with representatives or the American Bridge company as to the steel material to be used in the erection of the new hostery
 No announcement was made by the Roden hotel promoters other than that conferences were being held and that an- nouncements would be made in the next few days as to the manager of the hotel or the lease holder and the architect to design the building. The statement was made that every effort was being put forth to get drawings up as rapidly as possible for submission to the committee from the company and that no time would be lost in the preliminary details
 The promoters of the Fifth avenue hotel, to be erected at the corner of Fifth avenue and Twentieth street, are also busily engaged .E various details connected with the construction Of a $1 100000 hotel on that corner. The work consists chiefly of drawings and getting the preliminary plans outlined It is stated that a conference will be held tomorrow between the prominent local men engaged in promoting the Fifth avenue hotel to outline some work for the committee to undertake.
 The Fifth Avenue Hotel company will perhaps have some announcement to make shortly as to the manager of th cir hostelry. It is stated by both the Roden hotel and Fifth Avenue hotel promoters that there is sufficient room here for both the hotels and that one will not engage itself to stop because of the other. The long delay in get ting hotel facilities here of a proper kind for the general public is said to have created a harvest even for two large hostelries.
