THE AGE-HERALD'S EXTRA
 BOUGHT BY THOUSANDS
 EAGER FOR THE DETAILS
Entire City Shocked by News Flashed Over Wires Last Night Prominent Citizens Comment Important Affair-The
 Hope Expressed That Outcome Will Be Favorable

tire world was very ably demonstrated in Birmingham last night when the news of his attempted assassination reached here. and was given to the public through an extra issued by The Age Herald.
 Although seasoned to almost all kinds of shocks, even the newspaper men in The Age-Herald editorial rooms gasped last night when the electric charged wires of the Associated Press flashed "Roosevelt shot at Milwaukee," It was then about S:15 o'clock, and minute later came bulletins, trailing fast on the heels of each other. stating the details of the affair However nothing came indicating that the wound was serious. and as Roosevelt had gone on and de- ivered his address the shock was min mixed About 10 o'clock came the hull letin stating that Roosevelt was still speaking, but was weakening from loss of blood and that the bullet had entered his body and was still imbedded in his fiesh and in a few minutes the Age Herald extra with all the details was on the streets.
 The boys sold papers everywhere. but the great harvest was when the crowds poured out of the four theatres, and the way the papers were literally .'sgobbled up made the 'newsies happy. Taxi cabs received the second lot of extras as they rolled off the big press in the Age-Herald plant and with throttles wide open they made mad rushes for the resi- do,ao a,d v,,bt,,hap diStrfptS Resulting scenes contained many elements of com edy, for as the boys yelled out their message staid and dignified eitizeas of Birmingham. who had been in bed for probably only few minutes, stuck their heads out from under the comfort and listened@ At the next yell from the boy in the street the aforesaid dignified gen tlemen lit on their feet and rushed to the front door just as they were to get the paper.
 In the meantime the hotels of the city had been invaded The news had spread so rapidly that many of the guests were already in the lobbes, after having retired to their rooms for the night Those that were not there soon arrived and the papers disappeared like peanuts at a circus. Time and time again the news- boys came back to the mailing room for more papers, and with fresh supply "burned up the streets until they found still unsupplied customers
 The result of it all was that when the figures were counted up 1t was seen that nearly four thousand of the extra edi- tions had been sold. probably one of the largest extra editions ever disposed of in Birmingham.

CITY SHOCKED BY
 STARTLING NEWS

Birmingham's most prominente citizens as we'll as the public in general were greatly shocked upon learning of the at tempt on Colonel Roosevelt's life last night. The feeling in every mind as the great crowds surged from the theatres last night was one of horror and in every section of the district people were eager for the latest developments. Among those who could be reached for expressions last night were the following:
 Joseph O. Thompson. the Roosevelt leader in Alabama said
 'I am so shocked over this distressing terrible thing will so cause the spirit of fair play in the breasts of the American people that there will be general rally ing to the Roosevelt standard through out the nation.
 "I shall at once issue an appeal to every lover of liberty and fair play in Alabama to send q small contribution to Hon. Joseph NJ, Dixon, Colonel Roosevelt'e campaign manager, Manhattan hotel. New York city, and I believe 4o,ooO loyal supporters in this state of that great
 
 ment will send without delay from B cents to s to the campaign fund, to the end that though our great leader be silent for awhile there will be no abate- ment in the vigor of the campaign which he is prosecuting.
 The southerners love a square deal and nowhere do I believe more general sor- row will be felt over the lamentable af- fair than among our people.
 T hope the noble women will respond to this appeal as well as the men,.
 Former Governor B. B. Conner said: "I think the news of the shooting of Colonel Roosevelt is terrible, just as bad as could be. He is one of the nations very strong men u
 Walker Percy. counsel for the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, said: 'srhe shooting of Mir Roosevelt Is very shocking calamity and great misfortune. I am exceedingly sorry to hear of it and sincerely hope for fa- vorabe outcome

2 MERGENTHALER LINOTYPES
Progress of Improvement Has Been
Steady For Past Two Years.
Keeping Up With Town.

By the addition of a standard limo
type by Stearns Bros, in charge OF the
job and composition department, last
week, The Independent plant now has
two Mergenthaler typesetting and
type casting machines, and becomes
the best equipped newspaper house
on the Western Slope, with one eNcep-
ton, the one exception being the
Grand Junction Sentinel.
During the past year The Indepen-
a vast amount of home printing. but
has turned out handsome directories
for many counties of the state along
with other large outside jobs.
Five years ago The Independent
plant was little more than pile of
junk. and the paper itself had not pro-
gressed beyond the use of a patent in
side.
Within that period its entire equip
ment has been changed to the best
modern machinery, and steel fingers
are now responding to those of flesh
and blood in casting its lines of type.
None can question the progress the
paper has made. or is making, none
can question what its future will be,

its value to its field for a moment be

And while the newspaper is busy, its

The leasing plan was taken up with
Stearns Bros. two years ago, because
the editor of The Independent did net
feel equal to the task of managing
both departments and doing the edi-
torial work.
The plan has proven satisfactory 10
all parties. The Stearns boys are now
well acquainted and well liked. They
are industrious, hard-working and
pleasant to meet and fair to do bust.

Both The Independent editor and
the Stearns Bros, appreciate the help
