Discuss Raise in Salaries.

The session of the convention this
morning was taken up mostly with dis
cussion of an amendment to the con-
stitution and bylaws providing for a
raise of the salaries of officers of the
organization. The general raise pro-
posed was defeated. but the prospects
were that at the afternoon session the
salaries of the purely executive officers
would be increased. The question
voted down this morning was that of
increasing the salaries to equal those
of the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men officers.

HEADQUARTERS MATTER
NOW UP TO TRA|NMEN
To Be Made Special Order of
Business For Monday
Morning.

The question of whether Washington or
some other city is to be made the perma
nent headquarters of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen was
made the special order of business for
Monday morning by a motion adopted to-
day at the convention OF the organiza-
ton, in session I'm the Arcade building
Temporary headquarters are now located
at Peoria. Ill.
The question is expected to develop one
of the most animated discussions of the
entire convention. which has already
been meeting for more than week. A
number of Washington business men are
working hard to have the headquarters
located here, and the movement has many
supporters among the delegates to the
convention.
Should it be decided to locate the head
quarters here the decision probably would
carry with it provision for the erection
of some kind of a building. either a struc-
ture devoted entirely to the interests of
the organization or large office building.
1t was also decided today that on Mon
day, after the headquarters question has
been decided. the convention will take "a
recess for the day and the delegates take
an outing during the afternoon.

Every Merchant Who Can
Leave Expected Here
This Week
MUCH ENTHUSIASM
is BEING SHOWN
Believed Movement Has Begun Which
Will Make Birmingham J0bbing
Center of the South-Meet-
ing Today

An air of expectancy over North Ala
bama and Birmingham yesterday and
the main topic of conversation was the
merchants convention to be held here
Wednesday and Thursday. According
to reports reaching the city from out
lying towns, every merchant who can
leave his affairs for two days will be
here just as early Wednesday morn
ing as the train scheGuIes will allow.
Chairman Murray Brown of the Cham
ber of Commerce wholesale trade commit
tee, which has charge of the convention,
stated last night that any merchants
who arrived in the city today should go
at once to the chamber headquarters at
Nineteenth street and First avenue. regis
ter their names. receive their badges
and tickets and programmes and other
paraphanalia so that the rush Tuesday
and wednesday morning would be re-
leved somewhat. The vanguard of
the delegates is expected to arrive this
afternoon. as some of the merchants
have stated they intended coming a day
or two before the convention proper
opened.
Mr.. Brown stated also that all members
of the reception committee should go to
the Chamber headquarters today ana re-
eeive their special badges, if possible.
The merchants of the northern end
of the state have taken great interest

LEN GREER DENIES
REPORTS OF TRADE
Says RumOr of His Offering
Clerkship to J. III. Watts
Is Ridiculous

To the report that he had formed an
alliance with j. II. Watts of Talladega
and that as result that gentleman
would not be a candidate for commission
er of agriculture against him, Len Greer,
inspector for the state convict bureau,
made emphatic denial last night
There is absolutely nothing in the re-
port said Mr.. Greer, land | will be
frank enough to state that in the event
of my election, I will not offer a clerk
ship to Mr.. Watts I daresay that he
would not accept such position were L
TO offer it. The report is ridiculous"
Mr.. Greer feels that he will be elected
commissioner Of agriculture, and states
that his friends are rallying to his stand
ard from every county In the state.
With the exception OF W. III. Seymour
of Montgomery 1t is not thought likely
that any other man will offer for COM
missioner of agriculture. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Watts and Robert Pool
have decided not to run. Mr.. Seymour
was cotton statistician under Governor
Conner. DR.. A. A. Persons is an an
nounced candidate.

UNKNOWN NEGRO IS
FOUND LYNCHED At
K|LGORE TRESTLE
No Information About Mob
Can Be Secured and At
fair is Apparently Com
plete Mystery

An unknown negro was found hanging,
yesterday morning, from a railroad trestle
at Kilgore, on the Louisville and Nashville
railroad, about % miles from Birmingham
near the Blount county line. It is believed
the victim had been choked to death first
and had then been strung up under the
trestle and the work had apparently been
that of a lynching party.
Negroes made the gruesome find yester-
day morning and Deputy Sheriff Dave
Kennybrook was at once notified. Later
Chief Deputy Walter Metcalfe and Irwin
Steele went out in an automobile to Kill
gore to investigate They all reported last
night that the affair was a complete myse
terry and that nothing was known as to
how the negro had come to his death with
the exception that he had undoubtedly
been lynched the night before.
Investigation in Kilgore brought forth
the fact that there had been no exeite-
ment on Saturday night and that no crime
had been committed in the vicinity to war;
rant any mob feeling against any negro.
Last night the sheriffs office could give
out nothing with the exception that no
arrests had been made as the affair was,
so far, complete mystery.

THREE CANDIDATES
WILL Be CERTIFIED
Believed Probate Judge Will
Find Satisfactory Names
On the Petitions

Before the conclusion of the week 1t is
considered probable that the Judge of pro-
bate will have notified the city commits
sion that three candidates have qualified
to make the race for the presidency of the
city commission.
The three candidates. as published in
yesterday mornings Age-Herald, have
filed their petitions with the probate
judge. That of George b. Ward has been
checked and declared satisfactorily. Be-
ginning today. the court will be engaged
In it's examination of the petitions of Vas
ser l.. Allen and Clement r. Wood. Sew
eral days will be required for the COM
pletion Of this work, for some of the
names are scarcely legible.
When the candidates have been certi-
fed, the race will be considered 'in the
stretch" to the finish. With the exception
of the periodical speeches of Wood, it is
not anticipated that there will be any
unusual steps taken by either of the can
didates. Mr.. Ward is confident of being
elected, and his opponents seem to feel
that they have been able to make inroads
into his strength.

500 MEN PRODUCE
1900 TONSADAY
Inspector Greer Finds Con-
diti0n of Convicts at Ban
ner Mine Excellent

Banner mine of the Pratt Consolidated
Coal company. according to a statement
made last night by Len Greer, state con-
vict inspector. is, with 300 men, producing
1900 tons of coal per day.
The inspector considers this an excellent
record in view of the limited number of
convicts working at Banner, He declares
that the state could with ease aecommo-
date another hundred men at Banner were
they available.
There are just as many convicts in
Alabama at the present time' said Mr..
Greer ''as there ever were The men.
however, do not seem to measure up to
the physical requirements as in other
years, and this, coupled with the states
policy of sending to the mines only those
men who are in every essential fitted for
the work, has made it impossible TO place
at Banner as many men as could be
worked.
"The physical condition of the eonviets
at the mines is excellent, and the sanitary
conditions all that could be asked. I have
heard no word of complaint from any
convict"
Mr.. Greer then produced a letter which
he had received from Luke Williams, a
negro convict at Banner. The writer In
formed Mr. Greer of the satisfaction of
the convicts, and complimented Warden
Hall and Superintendent Tidmore very
highly He also spoke very feelingly OF
the work which Mr.. Greer has been do
ing, and naively remarked that in his
opinion the inspector had missed his call
ing. you should have gone to preach
ing" he added.
Ar, Greer will go today to Lucille and
Belle Ellen, and will have finished the
present tour of inspection by night
