it as short as l can. You see. 1 went
to visit in New York about two years
ago and met a most charming young
woman there. This young lady was
engaged to be married in a few weeks
and she impressed me so very much
that loaned her several of my gowns
and suits for her wedding trip. Well,
she got married and l came back to
Birmingham-are you listenng?"
'Yes'm; go on, go on
And we corresponded for long
time until few weeks ago when for
some reason she got mad and wouldn't
write any more. Now, what I want
a detective for is to go to New York
and get the clothes 1 loaned that bold
young woman"
"Is that all you want?"
"Why, yes, stupid; that's what de-
tectives are for-recovering property,
are they not?"
"Oh certainly. certainly"
"And you'll go to New York and get
those clothes?'
"Why, er, er, don't know-it's not

SURVEY Being MADE
IN The POSTOFFICE
CONDEMNATION SUIT
AS Soon as This Is Com
pleted Proceedings Will
Be Formally Filed by
the District Attorney

As soon as a survey of the property
can be made the United States govern
ment will institute condemnation pro-
eee0ings against Jonas Schwab. seeking
to acquire an additional 80 feet adjoining
the property on Fifth avenue and Nine
teenth street that has been purchased
by the government as a site for the
million dollar postoffiee building for
Greater Birmingham. Messrs. School and
Putnam local engineer, have been award
ed the contract to make a survey of
the property and as soon as their report
is made condemnation proceedings will
be instituted.
The site purchased and under option
by the government takes in the entire
half-block from Eighteenth to Nineteenth
streets, with the exception OF 50 feet
fronting on Fifth avenue, owned or con-
trolled by Jonas Schwab. The govern
mont desired to acquire this additional
property, which was held by the owner
at what was considered high figure.
Early in the spring a government agent
came to Birmingham to review the sit
uation and on his return to Washington
he advised that the government should
not purchase the property at the Salua-
ton set by the owner.
Acting on his advice the government
has instructed the local authorities to
have a survey made of the property and
ordered the district attorney to start con-
demnation proceedings as soon as the
survey is made. 1t is expected that suit
will be filed in the next few days.

NO TRACE OF CARDINALS WILL
Earlier Document Is Read, Leaving
Estate to Sister.

Rome, Dec. 2s.-Hope of finding the last
will of Cardina' Rampolla virtually has
been given up and today a testament
made and signed by the cardinal twenty
four years ago, was publicly read in the
presence OF the late prelate's -'---r,
Baroness Perara, and her husband.
Thi- will named the baroness the sole
heir, with the exception Of a few unim-
portant legacies.
The police are still trying to solve the
mystery of the missing document and
detectives are making thorough search
of quarters where /: Is believed the tesla
ment may have been seCreted. The au-
thorities hold the theory that the will has
not been destroyed, but has been hidden.
Immediately before the reading of the
old will the seals were taken from the
room in which the cardinal died and an
other thorough search for the missing
document was made.
On account of opposition from the fam
lily of the dead prelate and from Pope
Plus Y it is probable that the proposed
eXhumatiOn of the body will be aban-
