STENCIL MAKES
WORKERS SICK

Several OF the girl employees of the
French Laundry were taken sick this
morning as a result of the awful
stencil arising from the rear OF the
laundry premises.
This nuisance which arises from
neglected closets has been in uusayory
evidence Tor several months and de-
spite the fact that frequent complaints
have been made to the board of health
no steps whatever have beer taken to
remedy it.
The offending closets are situated
near the Koula ponds below King
street and close to the Catholic GENE.

The Building Ordinance.
Mcclellan brought up amendments
to the building ordinance. One relat-
ed to fire escapes, intended to have
them more durable than the present
ordinance requires. The next provid,
ed against obstruction of sidewalks by
builders, requiring them to erect COW

whether Mr. Schuman had furnished
bonds for the delivery by Schuman

matter, but as far as the speaker knew
no bond had yet been furnished. Schu

Marking back few days in the his tory of Birmingham, and most any of our best known markers can harken back a few days, what do we find?
 Listen, children, and we will relate; We find the architectural circles of Bir- mingham, Chattanooga, New York and elsewhere-provided there is such place wildly or at least mildly excited. There is to be let a 22 story building. 1t is to be the highest structure in the state.
 The night before the architect-yes, 1t was William c. Weston, we know not why the "C.'' is there-was all buster as he was nearing the goal so he believed. We'll into the night he counseled with the officials. He found no consolation. He knew not where he was "at.'
 Retiring reasonably early he found sleep Altering past him. He tossed and turned. His dreams were of the highest structure in the south. As dawn broke through asleep. But in short time he awoke. He was still in doubt. He was assailed by the demons of uncertainty. He skipped ever the paper before his plate of grapes and coffee. He tobogganed through the ''Genteman Jim" dope and hurried past the editorials until his eyes rested upon the fifth page. His soul scared. His mind Jumped and his heart beat with rythmns Vf happiness. A load of doubt vanished in the hour. And this is the dope read by William C. Weston, to-wit:

He was happy in that task.
 In walks a modest looking gentleman. William looks up.
 'I don't care for any hinges today" says William says he.
 Who's selling hinges? Not L. blurts out the stranger.
 'He played a tune on his Tid-fid-fid- fiddle-de-de," huns William. See here," sings out the little man, T want you to build me 10 story office building"
 What per cent solution of cocaine do you use?' enquired the dumfounded architect.

 "Wellibedamned," faintly echoed Will liam.
 Thus was born the first big build ing in Birmingham, or at a scene all most like that
 Weston built the Woodward He ex- ecuted a fine plan. He and W. 1T. Woodward greatly lamented, started skyscrapers here.
 They built the Brown-Max They lacked room and they built an addition. The First National was also executed. The Age-Herald home was then built The Temple Emanu-El has followed as has also the Roden one million dollar hotel, Now the "job" that caused the "whoops'' was the new Jefferson Coun- ty Savings bank building which Is to be 22 stories high Also the highest structure in the south.
 To have accomplished all this work not to mention worlds of smaller tasks and yet retain ones youth and love for ones friends is success meas ured by any rule of standard,
 William c. Weston has done all this He is delightful companion, mas ter of architecture, a lovable friend and a wholesouled favorite in Bir- mingham. oyer 200 citizens of this city focked to his office when it be- came known that Gentleman Willie" had put one over many competing New Workers. On the streets he was so greatly flooded with praise and good words as to cause the green eyed mon ster to burn or glow in the eyes of Richmond P Hobson.

NEGRO |S SHOT
 BY COLLECTOR w. Lawler Claims He Fired on Charles Wilson in
 Self Defense

w. Lawler, a collector for the Kingston Realty company, was yesterday morning arrested by City Detectives Cole Burge and Kicks, charged with an assault with intent to murder on Charles Wilson, 8 negro He was later delivered to tho sheriff and released on bond of $500. The wounded negro, shot four times by a pistol, was taken to the St. Vincent hospital.
 According to eye witnesses MT. Lawler attempted to make the negro give up check, which it was said he owed to the real estate company. It is alleged that the negro refused and advanced on the white man with a pistol.
 Lawler shot before Wilson could get his revolver from his pocket, firing four shots, all of which took effect in the negro's ab- domen. Employees in the freight depot of the Alabama Great Southern Railroad company at Eighteenth street and Rail- road avenue, where the shooting took place, notified the police. Lawler gave himself up, saying that he shot in self defense.
 Wilson is employed by the railroad com- pany as a switchman in the Fourteenth street yards. Doctors at St. Vincents hos- pital said late yesterday evening that his condition was critical.

NO CHANGE
IN REGARD
TO ELECTION

That the change made in the con-
gressional districts in the state does
not affect the manner of the election
of the railroad commissioners Is the
opinion Of Attorney-General Craw-
ford.
The opinion was rendered at the re-
quest of Secretary of State Olcott,
when Railroad Commissioner Camp
bell yesterday afternoon filed his dec
laration of intention to become a can
didate for reelection. Before the sec
retary would file the declaration he
asked for an opinion from the attor-
ney-general as to whether 1t con-
formed to the law.
Under the law applicable to the
election Of the commissioners it Is
provided that two shall be elected fro
the congressional districts and the
third from the state at large. Since
then the congressional districts have
been changed, an additional one being
created. The secretary was In doubt
whether the election would be gov
erned by the former or later statute.

DEFIANCE OF
THE COURTS

Columbus, Ohio, Jan 24.--Open
defiance Of the Ohio supreme court
was made here today by President
Blgelow in an address before the
constitutional convention Bigelow's
remarks were prompted when oppo-
nents Of the initiative and referen-
dunn cited the ordinance Of 1887
creating the Northwest Territory, Of
which Ohio is a pet, and the recent
supreme court decision in the case
OF the State VS.. Boone as indicating
that the court will invalidate the ini-
tiative and referendum on the
ground that it conflicts with that or
dinance.
IF the decision of the Ohio SUI
preme court is not repudiated by the
people," said Bigelow, "this conven-
ton will be reduced to the post of
an ordinary legislature and the work
it does, though II be ratified by the
people, may be vetoed by the court.
"The friends Of the initiative and
referendum are just awakening to
the fact that the supreme court has
laid plans to have these measures
set aside"

OF WILDE
HAS begun

Portland, Ore, Jan. 2l.-The epen-
ing statement for the state in the trial
Of Louis ]. Wilde, the San Diego bank
err for embezzlement, was made this
forenoon by Special Prosecutor A. E,
Clark. He completed his statement
shortly before noon, and this after
noon Attorney Dan Malarkey, chief
counsel for the defense, made his
statement.
Clark, in outlining the case, said
that the state intended no show that
Wilde and former Cashier w. Cooper
Morris, Of the defunct Oregon Trust &
Savings bank, sold certain stocks to
the bank at par, and then split 100000,
the sum representing the difference
between the market value of the stock
and the par value.
In his opening statement Malarkey
admitted that each defendant re-
ceived a commission" but said it
was simply business deal, and not a
criminal conspiracy, as charged.
Wilde, accompanied by his wife, was
in court, and whispered frequently to
his attorneys.
