The death rate among the negroes
is more than among the whites, not
only when the southern cities are con-
sidered, but when the entire country
is taken into account. In 1911 the white

while the negro deaths numbered 1905.

ease to both races in Birmingham with
pneumonia making a poor second, bar

times as many negro deaths in Bir-

sought to break this rule and elected
another than the first vice president to
the presidency. With this move under

the fire chiefs. Chief Bennett read a
highly educational paper on Motor APP

was widely commented on and adver-

the topic for paper which proved tfse

to the city commissioners that two OF
these motor fire engines be purchased.

BOARD UNEASY OVER
COURTHOUSE WORK
New Addition Probably Not
Ready in Time
CONVENE IN OCTOBER
Plans Have Been Made For Ideal Ar
rangement When New Addition
Is Ready For Use
However
CONVENE IN OCTOBER

The uncompleted condition of the new
addition to the courthouse and the rear
rargement of the court rooms of the old
building is causing the board of revenue
some uneasiness as the time is close at
hand when all the county courts will be
in session. The circuit court rooms have
been thus far undisturbed, and as soon
as the court convenes, which will be the
first Monday in October, the two judges,
e. C. Crow and c. 3. Smith, will occupy
the two courts as before adjournment
Judge III. B. Alternately is now holding
forth in the second division of the cir
cult court, but will have to vacate as
soon as the circuit court convenes.
The understanding is when the new ad-
dition is completed it will be used exclu-
sively for the criminal branch of the ju-
dietary, including the sheriff and solicit
or's offices and the courts of common
pleas. This arrangement would give the
city court the room now used for the
first division OF the criminal court. and
with that end in view the two court
rooms formerly occupied by the first and
second division of the city court have been
converted into one. giving the city court
three large rooms on the third floor of the
courthouse.
At present, however, the new addition
is far from being completed, and as the
|grand Jury used the old law library for
their deliberations, which was used last
term as the fourth division of the city
court, there will be only two court rooms
available for the four divisions of the
city court when 1t convenes in October.
In addition to the alteration on the third
floor of the old building the first floor and
the attics are being remodeled and fitted
up. The tax collector has been given the
old board of revenue room next to the
main entrance, which will relieve what
was probably the most congested office
in the entire building. Judge Abernathy
was promised the rooms now used by the
second division of the criminal court, but
as it is now in use and will be until the
new building is completed, Judge Aber-
natily will have to seek quarters else
where.
! The attics are being converted into well
lighted and desirable rooms by means of
new flooring and a large window being
| cut in the roof. The board of revenue is
endeavoring to provide ample quarters
| for the entire official family, and state
that when the new addition is completed
there will be plenty of room for all.

PAYNE TRIAL SET
FOR THIS MORNING

Judge Samuel E. Greene will preside
over the first division of the criminal
court this week, while Judge William Il.
Fort will offcate in the second division.
After Judge Greene organizes the juries
for the week, he will take up some of
the cases that were not reached in the
first division last week, which will in
clude the case of Robert Payne, charged
with murder in the second degree.
Payne was indicted for the killing Of
Will Ellard In Hagan's drug store at
Lewisburg some time ago. The case was
set last week before Judge Fort, but on
account of his having acted as attorney
for Payne in a former trial he was in
eligible to sit on the case and 1t was set
for this morning before Judge Greene.

comes of the money they subscribe to
charity TO investigate, but a new question
has arisen in Hendersons case.
Where is he? No one knows where he
went Saturday night after Monte Ullman
and few others had made him up a lit
tie purse to get him something to eat and
a place to sleep. AS soon as he can be
found the Negro Business Mems league is
ready to send him home, and 1t Is expect
ed he will be located today. In the mean
time the checks that have been received
will be returned with thanks and the
kind aid of those who offered their help
over the telephone yesterday morning will
not be needed.
Rev. Willis G. Clark, pastor of ST An
drews Episcopal church, stated yesterday
he had aided Henderson the fist time
he was ill some time ago. Amons those
who offered aid besides money were Mrs
G. @. Mabry, 1923 Glen Iris avenue, who
stated she had brother in Jacksonville
whom she would ask to take Henderson
to his home Z miles in the country in his
automobile. Several of thoss Offering
money refused to give their names The
first check was received from Abraham
Sachs and the first offer OF money over
the telephone was from r. w. Knights
at o'clock yesterday morning.
The Henderson case has been solved; /;
but what's going to become of the doz-
ems of others, both black and white, Who
before Christmas are going to be in the
same position he was found in Saturday
afternoon?
1t was through the instrumentality of
Horace N Slater, the negro newspaper
correspondent that the Birmingham Me-
gro Busineys league, through it's presi-
dent, w. B. Driver has taken the matter
up and will get Henderson to his home
In Jacksonville, en- the Seminole Limited
this afternoon, when he is found. They
regretted that the charitable organiza-
tons among the negroes were not IN
position to do anything in such cases.
President Driver intimated that he would
make the effort to have the Birmingham
Negro Business league set aside some
fund in the future for such use.

Whether or not actual charity is n
stranger to some of Birmingham's So
called charitable institutions, 1T was
again proven yesterday with an en-
phasis thnt was almost startling that
charity Is not n stranger to the people
Of Birmingham.
Within two hours after The Age
Herald went into the homes of Bir-
money had been offered over the teIe-
phone to send across the continent the
sick negro Henderson who had been
refused transportation by the Assoc
ciafed Charities. Telephone calls kept
coming I'm all day yesterday with Of
fers of money and aid for the negro
and the late mails last night brought
several actual checks ranging from 81
to So.
And all Henderson needed, as stated
in yesterdays Age-Herald, was trans
portation to Jacksonville, Fla, which
with the reduced fare coupon given him
by the city is little over 81.
The Birmingham Negro Business
Mems league, however, has taken up
Henderson's case and IL he can be found
will see that he not only gets trans
portation money to his home and
friends but that he is helped in secur-
ing the return of his health.
As soon as it learned of Henderson s
actual condition, negro organization
eagerly is doing what the Birmingham
Associated Charities refused to do for
fear ''it might make mistake" Which
is charity and which of the two organ
izations actually deserve the support
of the people of Birming CHAM?
Conditions as regard the local Associated
Charities is unchanged, and probably will
remain so unless the people of Birming-
ham are enough interested in what be-
