Odds Favor Birmingha m

"l would like to say that other sites than those in Birmingham are being looked over in other well adapted cities, but the odds favor Birmingham at this .ime. In other cities We have properties and have looked over available properties for the new plant that are not as nigh as in Birmingham. The real estate vat ues here seem to be rather stiff compared to values in other very large cities.
 "Our site would be about eight or ten acres. with adequate railroad facilities
 The official statement of MT. Borden. which. while net absolutely definite, car ries convincing facts that serve to form definite opinions was secured yesterday after he had looked over other sites in the Birmingham field for the American Radiator company plant. He said that the available sites here were very numer- ous and that he was taking plenty of time to reach conclusion. He added that conditions over the country were good and the prospects very bright.
 While in Birmingham MT. Borden has been shown considerable eourtesies by local friends of whom he has many in this city.

 Few Weeks

That the American Radiator company was inspecting sites in Birmingham upon which To erect a factory doubling the local operations, that a decision was not pressing as lease for two years was held on the present property, but that Birmingham would very probably see the plant built in 1913. and that reports that such activities were untrue were in turn doing both the company and Birmingham a grave injustice were statements i'm an interview given yesterday by John Bor- den representing the American Radiator company, who has looked over sites here during the past six days.
 "It is true that have inspected several . sites in Birmingham and that the Amer ican Radiator company will most prob ably build plant here of it's own. doub- ling the capacity of the present opera tions." said MT Borden.
 No Need for Hurry
 we looked oyer some locations sev- eral weeks ago but decided that there was absolutely no need for rushing the matter and on that account We have held up any definite announcement. However, the report that we are not contemplating the erection of plant here. doubling our present operations hurts the company. l Birmingham and all concerned. The American Radiator company has no req son for coneealing the fact that it's oper- atons here have been satisfactory and that sites are being looked over with the view of getting n permanent place.
 We have lease on our present fac- tory for two years. We are not in any rush about deciding on q location in Birmingham. While we have sites of fered ifs elsewhere | am inclined to say that 1t is more than likely that our new plant will be in Birmingham It Is oh- viously true that We cannot definitely state these facts, but can only say that on account Of mineral conditions wes cant go here or there, and further. that the local operation has been satis- factory l believe that we will he en- abled to secure a site here in every way satisfactory 1 intend to return to Chl- cago tomorrow morning definite an- nouncement as to the actual site selected will be given out some time in the next few weeks
 The plant that the American Radiator company will erect in Birmingham, pro vidng things shape themselves up, will be double the capacity of our present operation We will likely employ 300 or more men and will melt considerable iron in Birmingham. However. our operations are not quite so expensive as one might suppose from general rumors Tn connee- tlon with our business.

Officers, However, Decline to Talk on Developments
 in Lewisburg Case RIJMORED DUNCAN IS TO MAKE STATEMENT Another Arrest Made Yesterday in Connection With Holland Killing.
 Another Plot Was Re-
 ported Yesterday

Rumblings which have been heard for over a week in the Lewisburg case became more pronounced yesterday and there was talk in many circles that something sensational Is liable 10
 drop" in the case before many moons, probably today. The intimation, how ever comes from only the dark cor ners and just what this something sensational" will pan out to be Is with held by those working on the case.
 Both police and deputy sheriffs are working assiduously but when word is mentioned for publication they beeoHe as sphinxes. Chief of ~olice Bodeker is taking a decided personal interest In the case and last night declared to a reporter: T have started in on this thing and l am going to keep IL up. There is no Tagging down noW' because all the red lamps have been broken and the red fiags have turned green. We are going ahead, let it hit whom it will"
 Rumors of Duncan Statement
 It has been rumored for a day or so that Teck Duncan, the first man arrested charged with the murder of Felix Ellard, had confessed to compllcity in the mur- der. but this has been strenuously and emphatically denied by Sheriff Walter K. McAdory. "There is not word of truth in all this talk of Duncans con fession,' said the sheriff.
 Chief of Police Bodeker had an ex tended conversation with Duncan Tues day, the result of which has not been made public. When asked last night if Duncan had made confession he said. Not to me" Beyond this he has said nothing. Nevertheless, the county lail seems to be the center of all investigations whlcnt are being made by the officers outside of the cor oners jury Duncan was not examined yesterday by the jury, but it is thought that he will be heard today, as all wit nesses summoned were notified yesterday afternoon at the end of the session that they were excused until Wednesday, April s. It Is thought by this action that the star witnesses for the investigation will be examined today, as there VIII be a short session today.
 It is alleged that Duncan sent TOT seN- eral officers yesterday, both police and deputy sheriffs, and that when the offi- cers applied for admission at the jail they. were denied. It is further al legged that Special Prosecutor Borden Burr informed one officer that he could see Duncan after he (Burr) had talked with him. The officer then stated that he did not care to talk with Duncan after he had been seen by MT. Burr Chief Bodeker last night was asked for a confirmation of these rumors and re- piled: "I understand that Duncan sent for Mir Moser and that MT. Moser was denied admission to the jail However, that Is the privilege of the solicitor. He can refuse admission to whom he pIeases. If he pleases to keep everyone out he can do so."

Arrest in Holland Case

John Hollands death was also re- called yesterday when John Wade was arrested, charged with his murder Hol- land was shot and killed on Cat noun tain last June and five men have since been implicated in the killing. All of them are now in jail, four of them having been charged with the crime. They are: Arthur and Will Jones' Will Watson and John Wade. The other man who is believed to be implicated in the matter is Teck Duncan, the star witness in the case and also the star witness in the murder of Felix FL lard. It is alleged that Wade lured the negro Holland from his home and up the mountain to where he Was killed. On the way across the noun tain at the spot where he is supposed to have met his death it is alleged that the two were intercepted by the Jones boys by prdarrangement and that while they were talking two men, Wat son and Duncan. were in ambush be- hind them. one of these men who were in ambush, it is alleged. fired the shot It was hinted yesterday that Teck Dun can was the man who fired the shot
 When Wade was arrested by Deputy SneTl1S 11dTlSut1us NlC1Iuli, htihS brook, Brents and Lawler 1t is alleged that Wades father-in-law told them that Wade was not there and that while they were talking to the father in-law Wade slipped out of the house by the back way and was getting away when seen by Deputy McDuff wno was searching irresistible. McDuf gave chase and fired a shot at him when Wade stopped and surrendered, giving no further trouble.
 Scope of COrOner's Jury
 | The scope of the coroner's jury now in session is not confined alone to the Felix Ellard murder. but will embrace the entire carnival of crime" which has been so long charged to the Lewis burg district. Nearly 1e0 witnesses have been summoned to appear before the jury and it is said that there are many more to be brought in as the case progresses and more names are mentioned Several special subpoenas are said to have been issued yesterday afternoon and a special officer detailed to serve them
 | If rumors are correct, the investi-
 cation will be long one as 1t was lalleged yesterday afternoon that there | is some friction existing between the 1.-two branches of officers working on the case-the police and the sheriff E forces. It is said that one refuses 10
