CARLOAD OF GRAIN
 ORDERED SEIZED
Government Alleges Pure Food Law Has Been
 Violated

Alleging that the pure food law had been violated. writ of seizure was is- sued yesterday by Mai. Charles A. Ali son, clerk of the United States court, directed against the Queen City Grain company of Gadsden and the writ placed in the hands of United States Marshal Skeggs for service. The agent of the government who had the writ issued holds the Gadsden company blameless in the affair and states that in order to bring the case in court it was necessary to name them as the defendants
 The facts in the case are that a ship ment of grain was made last week by a firm in Nashville to be delivered to the Gadsden firm On arrival the grain was found to be rotten and was imme- diately condemned hy the authorities. The writ issued yesterday directing a seizure of the goods shipped has placed the marshafs office in a quandary The United States government makes no pro- vision for the storage of property seized by the marshal and in the event that the goods themselves would not be sale able the officer making the seizure will be liable for costs
 Chief Deputy Marshal w. B. Ford will leave this morning for Gadsden to serve the writ

NO DEVELOPMENTS IN BROOK|NS CASE
No Further Arrests-Police Still After Negro Who
 Called Him Out

There have been no further arrests in the Brookins murder case and the two negroes. Alexander Gardner and Lou Mill lice, are still in custody, being held as material witnesses. although it is admit ted that the negroes known practically very little of the crime Detectives Propst and Jones are working night and day in ther efforts to solve this latest of mysterious murders in Birmingham
 Gossip among the street car men, com panions of the murdered man for the past five years who knew his mode of life, indicates a firm belief that some man hired a negro to lure Broollins out in the field at Fifty-first street and Four teenth avenue, north, on the prtense of meeting someone with whom +the dead man was on intimate terms and there Brookns instead of meeting a friend met an assassin who shot him down. Coroner c. l.. Spain also holds to this theory.
 Last night the detective department announced that Detectives Propst and Jones were still on the trail of the negro who had called out Broollins from his home and that when this negro was ar rested it was quite likely that the whole tragedy would be solved. At q late hour the negro had not yet been apprehended, although several raids had been made at his usual haunts. It is now thought that he has left the city.
 Coroner Spaln announced last night that he will conduct his inquest in the killing of Joe Brookns about the last of the week, possibly on Saturday morn- ing. He hints at some startling develop ments before many hours.

June 17.-(Special)- "A bond election was called by the town council of this place at their meeting last night for July 27, at which time the citizens will vote on the matter of hay ing water, sewerage and electric lights.

 The estimates returned by the engineer show that a water system for the town will cost in the neighborhood of $14,000; the sewerage system about $16,000, and the electric lighting system $5000 It is with these figures for their basis that the council to call the election.
 The public sentiment appears to be de- cidedly in favor of making the improve ments and there is little doubt but that the election will favor them. Owing to the death of Councilman W. Gasque Hall of this place on Monday night Henry R. Kirby was last night elected to succeed him and because of the departure of City Attorney Leslie Hall his place was given over to Judge w. s.

the next formal conference is held Friday. tine three South American diplomats. 1t is understood plan to suggest five or six names. The men on the mediators' list are as nearly neutral as the mediators can find. Not one is a militant consu- tutionalist. but most of them sympathize with the constitutionalist movement.
 With the knowledge that the mediators have some names to suggest the chances of agreement being reached have risen considerably. Incidentally it became known that there had been a tendency to favor the names of Francisco Carbajal, chief justice of the supreme court of Mexico. and Gen. Lauro Villar president of the military court whose names were suggested at a recent conference by the American delegates. The Mexican dele gates are thoroughly in accord with the choice of either of the two men, although they were presented informally to deter mine sentiment, Carbajal has been member of the supreme court for many years.
 Loyal to Madero
 During the negotiations in JuareZ in 1911, when Madero and Diaz reached an agree ment whereby Francisco De La Barra became provisional President. Carbajal represented Diaz. General Villar was loyal to Madero to the last. He fought for Ma dero until the government was over thrown.

 Emilio Rabaca head of the Huerta del egation said he had been advised by the Mexican consul at Fl Paso that reports or the break between Villa and Carranza were true.
