BOY FALLS INTO VILLAGE

Otis Newman, the s-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ollie Newman of Twenty
sixth street and Thirtieth avenue. North
Birmingham, was drowned in Village

about 9:45 o'clock.

ening the street east of Spring street.
Avondale, where 1t is now rather narrow.
The citizens of Avopdale represented by
a committee headed by Dr. Martin ap-
peared yesterday and approved the
scheme for the boulevard. The commit
tee had only one request to make. and
that was that the boulevard pass AVON
dale park. Their reasons we're that the
park was now of great interest and was
growing more popular daily. on that ac-
count it was suggested that tho commits
sion would display wisdom by routing tho
boulevard in that direction.
The commissioners told the delegation
that no definite plans had matured, but
that careful consideration and weight
would be given their suggestions in ref
erence to that proposed route.
The commissioners nave three routes
to East Lake other than First avenue
which viii be considered when the east
end of the proposed boulevard is started.
In the meantime it has been suggested
to the commission that a happy way
to save time would be to ask now for
preliminary bids and from them get a
line on the material to me utilized.
Six weeks after such step is taken is
the usual amount of time required for the
final letting. In the meantime the prop
erty owner who wishes may appear and
protest UP to the very moment of confir-
nation. The interim is of no value to
anyone, as all the rights of the property
holders are protected by protesting at the
very last minute. The commissioners IN
order to save six weeks of valuable time
may adopt that plan. In the meantime
IL was stated yesterday that the commits
soners in favor of the boulevard were
more than busy getting details in shape.
The engineering department is also hard
at work upon the most gigantic paving
proposition that was every contemplated

CURIOUS CROWDS
GATHERED EARLY

Crowds of morbidly curious began gath
ering around the railing of the courthouse
grounds as early as O'Clock, and by
9:3O it was necessary to stretch a rope
across the alleyway leading to the Jail en-
trance. AS the hour Of execution drew
near the crowd became more dense, and
it was with difficulty that the street was
kept open for traffic.
1t was a crowd of high and low degree
Attracted by the tragedy being enacted
within the grim walls of the jail the pros
porous business man rubbed elbows with
a messenger boy on the one side and a
negro on the other. There was very little
noise, a breathless interest seeming to
hold the spectators enthralled as the
hour of the clock in the courthouse dome
slowly licked off the minutes of two
lives.
Only the relatives Of the condemned
men, police officers detailed for special
duty, deputy sheriffs and those who had
definite business were allowed in the
warden's office of the Jail. There was
a low hum of conversation, no laughter
and no loud talking. The same air of
constraint was noted in the warden's Of
flee as in the crowd on the street.
The news that Governor O'Neal had re-
fused to extend executive clemency was
broken to Watson and Jones about Z
o clock yesterday morning by James Nc
Adory, a son of Warden McAdory. Neither
man showed noticeable emotion. ''Well,
Will,'' said McAdory, 'it's all over.
There's no chance
Watson called across to Arthur Jones,
Its all over
rs, that so?" was the only response.

Route From Searles to Lock II
on Motor Railway Car When
the Bandits Suddenly
Sprang From Woods

Darting out of the woods about IL miles
below Searles, in Tuscaloosa county, at
| II o'clock yesterday morning, two un-
known hghwaymen attacked party OF
four men and shot and instantly killed
Paymaster W. 3. Turner of the Hardaway
| the party of $1,000.
| The bandits were forced to fee and did
not secure penny. In until 10 o'clock
last night little had been done toward
pursuing them, as the attempted robbery
| occurred in a wild country, and without
the aid of bloodhounds the officers are
almost powerless Dogs have been sent
for both from Birmingham and Tusca-
loosa, ard the Tuscaloosa dogs arrived
about 10 O'Clock last night.
AS soon as the bloodhounds reached
Searles, Deputy Sheriff e. P. Wilson, with
other officers and a posse of citizens
planned Immediately to take up the man
hunt. Hopes are entertained of capturing
the bandits, but a hard battle is looked
for and more fatalities are easily possible,
as 1t Is believed the highwaymen are des-
perate men.
En- Route to Lock II
Mr.. Turner with three companions were
en- route from Searles to the works at
Lock II on a motor propelled railway car.
and Mr.. Turner had in his possession a
large amount of money. Unofficial state
ments are to the effect that the money
was to pay off the hands at the lock, and
that he had about $5O0O
The little motor car was spinning along
the railway tracks which run over to
the locks. and was just about to cross
David Creek, about 10 miles below Searles,
when the two bandits leaped out of the
dense forest that lines the railway track
and began firing on the four men on .the
car.
Mr.. Turner was almost instantly killed,
but his three companions stood their
ground and returned the compliment to
the two masked men with such vigor that
they turned heel and retreated into the
woods out of which they came. They
have not been seen since. Although actual
evidence is lacking. it is believed that
the bandits were hit in the fusilade OF
shots fired at them.
Attack Very Sudden
The attack of the highwaymen was so
sudden and unexpected that the occu-
pants of the small car were taken by sur
prise 1t is stated that Mr.. Turner fell
mortally wounded as the first few shots
were fired. Mr.. Turner was a single man
and lives at Searles.
1t was claimed in Searles last night that
no one has the slightest idea who the
bandits were. 1t is generally believed
that they were men connected with the
company or the erection of the locks in
some way, for they evidently knew the
movements of Mr.. Turner, and knew that
he would pass through yesterday morning
with the large amount of money to pay
off the men at the lock in his possession.

some way the boy lost his balance and
fell in the creek.
The alarm was Immediately spread at
the North Birmingham police station and
Sergeant Shirley and several firemen hur-
ried to the scene. where the boy had
been last seen and began a search for
the lads body. The body was found at
1890 o'clock under the Allen street bridge
near Acipco. Funeral services will be-
conducted from the residence today.

Mr. Kaul, Mr.. Exum, Mr.. Weatherly
and Judge Lane regret exceedingly that
at this time, when favorable sentiment is
being rapidly moulded toward great
scheme for civic Identification that such
an unpleasant incident should arise.
However, they could not nave taken any
action that would cause any different de-
veopment except by the employment of
Mr. Kestler as against Mr.. Miller. How
ever, all those directly concerned in the
matter resent bitterly the imputatiop cast
by Mr. Stack and are exceedingly anx-
icus that he appear before them.
None of the officials can conceive of
the possibility of any nasty business In
connection with work that has been so
far DONE
Kaul Declines to Comment
In answer to a request for statement
last night. Chairman Kaul of the park
commission said that he did not believe
it proper for him to comment upon the
resignation of Mr.. Stack at this time.

Park-Offer to Grant

George II. Miller, the we'll known Bos-
ton architect, indorsed yesterday in warm
praise the proposed boulevard between
East Lake and Ensley. He said the
plan was one that would add greatly to
the general scheme of things here in a
civic way and would oe a long step to-
wards the accomplishment of a most de-
sirable proposition, that being paved
streets everywhere.
st am heartily in favor of the proposed
boulevard said Mr. Miller. 1.-THE scheme
is an admirable one, and should be put
through by the citizens. for they are after
all the ones to pay The boulevard will in
my opinion increase land values very
much, as such has been the experience
of all cities where such improvements
have been carried out. The boulevard
will not interfere with our scheme of
civic Identification, to arrange which 1
have been engaged by the commission. 1
am very glad of the opportunity of giving
my approval to the proposed boulevard.
for know 1t will be a great proposition"
Developments and good will for the pro-
posed boulevard are taking place and
growing daily. 1t was developed yester-
day that one property owner with 2Ooo
feet of land facing the proposed boulevard
route through Avondale would grant to
the city a right of way Is feet wide on

One of the few times in the history of
the state a white man has paid the ex-
treme penalty OF the law for the murder
of negro.
Possibly for the first time in the history
of the south have two white men been
hanged for the killing of a single member
of the African race.
Yesterday morning between the hours
of IL and Il o'clock Arthur Jones and VIII
Watson, charged, convicted and con-
demned for the murder of John Holland,
were executed in the yard of the Jail of
Jefferson county, and each man met his
fate bravely.. And both men confessed

There are no headliners on this

Jerome and Jerome, the fisherman

turing the human frog or the best
contortionist shown on a local stage

shrouded in mystery by the appear
ance of the human frog and his gro
tesque actions. The frogs makeup
is as near perfect as it is possible
to be, even having the orbs OF the
monster fitted with lights.
