Fine Plan

Another admirer of the post card scheme is George McCleery. second vice president of the Business Mems league, who re- marked yesterday: Tn my opinion Post Card Day as a broadcasting medium of reaching people who would not be brought into direct touch with what Birmingham has done in the past 10 years is unques- tionaby a fine plan, but there IS one feature that is exceptionally attractive This is the fact that every class of Bir- mingham's large population can take'part in making this day a success and every one has been most cordially invited py the Chamber of Commerce to ald in the accomplishing of what can be one or the greatest civic boosts that this city has ever known. l do not think that any right minded resident within the city borders would hesitate to do this Tor the advertising of his home town, and any thing that spreads the news abroad or what Birmingham has achieved is ben eft to the city as whole and the citizens individually.
 Many persons of the north and east are eager to hear of this citNs especially since the appearance of the Survey mag azine, which gave a treatment or BIT mingham that awakened the interest Of the whole country and the Chamber or Commerce cards will make their debut into the national mail circulation at the nhvseological moment that will only fur finer eouip them for making bold aim at popular fancy consideration of the Magic City. Tt is a .coincident that the Birmingham number of the Survey should be shortly followed by the Birmingham nost card distribution and VIII impress tIs vonders of the industrial giant of nixia all the more strongly upon the minds of those who have read this pub lication"

New York, January 20.-Nine-year-old William Bateman Leeds, son of the late "Tinplate King" William R. Leeds, is living in solitary state here on the estate of his mother with a governess. house. keeper and 15 servants to meet his slight est wish.

 Each day the boy is driven to private school near here and then driven home again, after which he goes out behind a team of fast bay horses with a uniformed ooachman. Under Mrs. Leeds orders the boy, wherever he goes is kept under the strietest watch, and he is never permitted to leave the carriage
 A few days ago the little fellow con- structed snow fort near his home about which he played soldier alone. Mrs. Leeds keeps in touch with the boy through oablegram and is constantly posted as to his physical condition and progress in school

T. R. FORSAKES HIS OLD LOVE

New York, January 20.-Theodore Roose- welt. once coloned of Rough Riders, has at length yielded to the tendency of the times and now sits behind the steering wheel of his automobile. Residents Of Oyster Bay on several occasions recent ly have seen Colonel Roosevelt driving through the town with his hand on the wheel steering the car as though he were thoroughly familiar with the intricaeies of levers and pedals which must be ma nipulated. The sight was a surprising one, because ex-President Roosevelt's liking for the horse and aversion to au- tomobiles were well known.
 When he was at Oyster Bay during the summer, while he was the President, he forbade automoblists to enter his grounds in their machines. It was only a few months ago, however, that he removed a sign which long stood at the entrance
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-01-21

to the grounds announcing that automo- piles must keep away.
 In spite of Colonel Roosevelt's prefer- ence for the horse he found an automo- bile indispensable when he began to make regular trips between Oyster Bay and his editorial offices in New York. If he went by train he was besieged by per- sons who wanted to talk with him. He covers the distance to the city by machine in about the same time as is required by train and uses that method now.
 It is used all the time except in cold and stormy weather. He picked up infor- nation about the mechanism about the machine in some manner, but it was only recently he began to drive. MT. Roosevelt, when at home, takes daily horseback rides.
 As a concession to the automobile Col onel Roosevelt recently built broad road from his home on the summit of Saga more hill to the public highway below For generations the Roosevelt family had used winding narrow dirt road.

Messer's Theory

Tn speaking of the post card along gen. eral lines, NJ. P. Messer, chairman of the industrial bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, said yesterday This Post Card Day is one of the big things planned and brought to practical completion by the very busy advertising committee of our organization and I am sure that every business man fin the city joins me in say ing that it will be of far reaching value as a pubIlicty agent for this city. The chairman, T. A. Weller, and his associates, John Lusk, Coleman Bach, A. R. Dear born and J. A. Gorham, are to be con graduated upon both the idea and the get up of the Cards. which l consider unus- ually artistic and pretty. As a hamburger of Birminghams wonderful future and bearing the marvellous story of the possi- bilities of Jones valley as municipality of city like proportions, the little tinted missive cannot fail to catch the interest and arouse the curiosity of all who see 1t,
 "It is to be hoped that this institution will be a Chamber of Commerce affair every year and with each annual addition of statistics will prove in. figures that Birmingham can make good as the first and leading city of the southland. The postals are most desirable from the standpoint of appearance and every clti- lzen should have the pleasure of mailing one of these to his friends in other cities.

Of which follows:
Il am awfully sorry TO resort to such
a measure, but when woman runs
away after making a man go to ex-
tremes to get money for her and then
refuses to come to his aid, it's time to
quit. And yet idolize her. Now that
she has another, she leaves me to face
the penitentiary. Kindly notify my
brother in Baltimore. This woman, Es-
telle Baggot, has ruined my life. She
has already ruined one life, her hus-
band whom she comes here to get rid
Of. This is my second attempt and l
hope it will be the last"
The authorities said that Weems'
family had claimed his remains and
that they would be shipped to Balti-
, more.
Weems had planned the shooting in
advance and he left several letters tell
ing of his intentions. One was ad-
dressed to Los Angeles admitting that
he had embezzled. He also told Of his
past marriages. His first wife was
from Charlotte, Va; his second was
Ada Crosby, of Richmond, Va. his
third was Iva Moore of Washington.
and his fourth was Catherine Moore o.
Buffalo, n. Y.
Mrs. Baggot, who was member Of
the divorce colony, was shot while In
