THREE NEGRO WOMEN CLAIM
TO BE WIDOWS OF SAME MAN

Just as the evidence was concluded
in the contest between two negro wom-
en- who both claimed to be the widow
of Jim Bell. deceased, and entitled to
inherit his estate, third alleged widow
appeared on the seeen and claimed she
was de fust and onliest wife" of the
departed Jim. The case has been on
trial before Judge J. p. Stiles of the
probate court for the past two days
and was about to be concluded when
the third claimant appeared. Judge
Stiles continued the case to give the
last claimant an opportunity to present
proof.
The case has been in court for some
| time and has been twice to- the su-
preme court, once from the ruling of
Judge Stiles and another from a de-
eision of Judge John c. Pugh, at that
time of the circuit court. The case was
sent back to the probate court for a
rehearing and was almost concluded
when the claims of the third widow
were presented
Jim Bell, an aged negro who had been
a resident of Ensley for the past 20
years, died some time ago and left
dh estate Naiueu at ABOUT Sl0O0 Cor
della Bell made claim to the estate
as the lawful wife of the deceased and
claimed they We're married just be-
fore the close of the civil war AL
most at the same time Mary Bell ap-
peared as the widow of Jim Bell con-
tending they We're married in the year
1875 These two claimants proceeded
to law about the matter and the case
has been in the courts for some time
1t was being heard for the third time
when Harriet Bell appeared and de-
clared she was the lawful wife of the
deceased. alleging they were married
in the year 1868.
Objections We're made to the inter-
position of the third claim at this late
day. but Judge Stiles held that she was
entitled to make a showing and con-
tinued the case in order to give the
claimant an opportunity to furnish
proofs to her contention.

Will Build Warehouse
Also

The foundations have been about

ers Milling company of this city. The
company proposes to build plant cost
ing about $4,000 at Boyles, having ac-
quired the property for the mill re-
Gently from b. Alden Thompson. The an
nouncement was made yesterday By Mr.
Thompson that work on the fotmda-
ton was progressing very fast and the
mill would be completed soon.
The place will be equipped with the
most modern machinery, it is asserted
and will have a daily capacity of be-
tween 1900 and 1000 bushels of corn
meal; 100 tons of alfalfa, and so tons
of chicken feed.
A warehouse suitable for the needs
of the plant will also be erected 1t is
stated that 25,oo0 square feet will be
utilized in that building.
This is the latest plant to locate al
Boyles,' said Mr. Thompson yesterday
but 1T is by no means the greatest ae-
tivity there. We have a great many
homes under construction and the whole
settlement is booming rapidly. The
Louisville and Nashville plants ut
Boyles, the National Cast Iron Pipe
and other industrial operations
there have assisted in making a sub
urb of unusual activity and pormise.''

COSTELLO HOME Is
DAMAGED BY FIRE

Fire. which started from sparks on
the roof of George Costello's residence.

10 o'clock yesterday morning were
communicated to several other ada :
cent houses and but for the prompt
appearance of the firemen a serious
eonflagration would probably have re-
suited. There was a high wind blow
ing and this aided the flames and
spread shower of sparks on neighbor-
ing shingle roofs.
The damage to the Costello residence
Is estimated at about $1,000. The resi-
dence of NJ. T. Cotter, 1105 Fourteenth
street south, was damaged to the ex-
tent of $1,000 and five other residences
nearby suffered slight damage to the
extent of from $40 to $25 each
The Fourteenth street fire. said
Chief Bennett had gained much head
way before the alarm was turned in
That the damage was so large was
due in large measure to the de-
layed alarm. There was also high
wind blowing and this caused lot of
sparks to fly ON neighboring roofs.
However. when the firemen arrived on
the scene the several blazes were quick

Citizens Object to Selection

TAXATION PROBLEM
AWAITS SOLUTION
Hugh Morrow and w. P. G. Harding
Discuss Need for Having Able
Men Represent Jefferson i.
During Next Session


Because of legislation of grave impor-
tanee required by the city of Birmingham
and the county of Jefferson, it is neces-
sary that a strong delegation represent
this county in the next session of the
legislature.
This was the expression yesterday of
municipal and county authorities and a
number of prominent citizens. The ex-
preston was protest against the cleo
tion of delegation on any special issue.
This is the ideal idea" said Senator
Hugh Morrow. And then he quickly
added. But l fear that you can't get the
politician to see it that way. There is
no question but that Jefferson should
have a delegation of exceptional merit.
one capable not only of legislating on
of this city and county, but capable of
exerting strong influence for good over
the other members Of the legislature"
The selection by committee of 100 rep
resentative citizens of a delegation, each
member to be called upon in the name of
patriotism to offer his services. was dis
cussed.
"A mass meeting said w. Z. G. Hard
ing, may serve the purpose, but one cam
not tell whether prohibitionists or anti
prohibitionists would get control despite
the efforts of those who desire to put
that issue to the rear. The situation in
Alabama at the present time appears to
be all right. There are so dry counties
and only seven wet. The law in force
in the dry counties is the strongest pos
sible, for it puts the burden of proof on
the accused The Webb anti-shipping bill
denies the right of shipping liquor into
dry territory. The prohihitionists should
be pleased.
"The time is ripe for putting issues as
issues in the shape of band wagons to
the rear, and for the outcropping of a
strong body of representative men who will
compose the delegation for the purpose of
Iegislating for the good of the city and
county. Also men should be appealed to
in the name of civic pride, and every
body should get behind them when they
announce"
In the next legislature the question Of
taxation is said to be destined to be the
livest question This will have special
significance for Birmingham and Jeffer-
son county, it is pointed out. on acc sunt
of the desire of Birmingham to be per-
mitted to increase its rate of taxation
or be made a separate taxing district.
City and county officials agree In re-
gard to the dismissal of issues and the
election of body of patriots, but none
of them desired 70 make a formal state
ment.
