Eighteenth street, by Policeman Haffey
and placed in the city jail, charged with
burglary and grand larceny. Richie con-
fessed.
The capture of the negro Richie is con-
sidered quite feather in the cap of the
police department as this negro is notori-
Gus as a burglar. A few nights ago, ac-
cording to detective department, which

W|DEMAN HAS No
CHANCE TO RECOVER
Was Fatally Stabbed in a
Fight Yesterday Morn
ing Early


The condition of James Wideman, the
grocery clerk who was fatally stabbed at
Second avenue and Twenty street
early yesterday morning, was considered
very precarious last night at the ST. Vim
cents hospital. 1t is not thought that
the young man has a chance to recover
as his intestines have been punctured
seven times by the knife CT his assailant
The affray took place about 1890 o'clock
yesterday morning. W. II. Manning,
switchman for the Seaboard railway, it is
alleged, had a badge and made an effort
to impersonate an officer and arrest Wide
man. This led to quarrel and it is said
that Wideman struck Manning with a pair
of brass knucks, breaking his nose. When
Manning got up he had q knife in his
hand and without much ado proceeded to
cut the stomach out of Wideman He was
almost Immediately arrested by Police
Captain Johnston and Officer Chambers
'and placed in the city jail, charged with
assault with intent to murder.
Wideman was removed to the ST. Vim
cent hospital in Shaw's ambulance.

not a new one, for it has been tried out
with great success In several of the cities
of the north. Birmingham has the honor
of being the first southern city to start
such movement.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Good Word for Steel Corporation


To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
have been regular reader of your
paper for the last 20 years, either as regu-
lar subscriber or getting it of newsboys,
and am going to ask you to give space in
your next issue to the following, to-wit:
notice a great deal is being said about
the dissolution of the United States s'teel
corporation, the new tariff law, ETC., and
want to submit few facts through-s'our
paper for public consideration
!. The Steel corporation is great help
to the entire Birmingham district.
?. 1t pays good wages to its employees
twice each month.
,. 1t allows its employees to spend their
earnings anywhere they please.
1. They furnish good houses, gardens
and yards to their employees at reason
able rent.
). They allow employees to live where
they please. in their own homes or private
property.
g. They provide good school buildings
and teachers in their camps at small cost
to heads of families.
Z. They furnish good hospitals and med
ical service for each OF their camps at
small cost to employees.
g. If an employe is disabled from acci-
dent they allow him while so disabled at
least half time or enough to take care of
him.
0. When an employe has been with them
certain number of years and has grown
old and wants to quit work for them they
pension that employe. and he works where
he pleases.
TO- They support a regular training
school at Ensley that heads of depart
ments and others may become better
equipped for better service and better
wages.
II. They require all of their chiefs to
treat subrodinates fairly.
T. They urge employees to save some
of their earnings.
13. They use every known measure of
safety for their men.
Il. They provide places of amusement
and recreation for their people.
Is. When you buy goods Of them you set
fresh goods at reasonable prices.
1s. No other corporation is doing so mucn
for its employees -s
Now, Mr.. Editor, should the United
States Steel corporation be dissolved. it
would take several smaller concerns TO
carry on the business, and then they
would not be so able to keep down for
eign competition, and then the danger is
that business stagnation in the steel and
iron business would follow.
Then, the new tariff law would be
blamed, and then what will become OF the
democratic party in 1916?
