 WRITES FROM PARIS
Mrs. Mae T. Bates Tells Something of the Hats and Dresses She
 Sees There

Mrs. Mae T. Bates, millinery buyer for the Drennen Co. department stores. who is spending the summer abroad studying the modes in millinery in the interest of her firm. writes interesting ly from Paris. Upon her arrival, after two weeks spent in London, Mrs Bates writes to a friend in Birmingham some of her impressions.
 I'm in that gay Farce at last, arriv- ing from London last week. Pm still of the opinion that our girls wear their clothes better and look better than the English girls. but these Parisians are distracting, they're all style and smart ness Of course. I watch the hats. but there's such a bewildering array on parade I can't describe them. I'll bring some of them back with me to show the folks in Birmingham what sure enough chic French millinery Is. I noticed just now chic Parisienne wearing darling little hat of green moire. A widely fiaring rosette made the smartest conceivable trimming, while her companion, who seemed dressed for travel, wore hat trimmed Indian fash : ion, with many quills--it looked like an Indian chiefs war cap. The fashions seem recruited from five nations.

 tisements

First conviction under the new Ad club ordinance fin reference to misleading ad- vertisements was had yesterday morning in the police court when Judge Douglas imposed a fine of $50 on the Averyt Drug company on a charge of violating the above ordinance.

Crook who alleged that she read ar advertisement December, 1s13 of the drug firm insHwhich sS eyeglasses were ad- vertised for 95 cents. She testified that the optician in charge stated she could not be fitted with the stock glasses and that lenses would have to be ground es- pecially for her eyes, and that she paid $7 .5o for the glasses

The trial consumed the greater part of the morning session of tho police court and much interest was taken in the case by the promoters of the ordinance and the local opticians. F. D. McArthur attor- ney for tho defendant company, gave no- tice of appeal

DIR. CUNNINGHAM
 MUCH IMPROVED
Only Necessary Now for Patient to Keep Quiet and Rest, Says
 Dr. Bowling

The condition of Dr. R. M. Cunning ham, city health oliver. Was greatly im- proved last night. according to infor- nation given out at the Cunningham residence by pr. J. D. Bowling, the attending physician.
 Dr. Bowling states that there ap- pears to be no more danger in Dr. Cunning hams case, that the cure from now on is for the patient to remain in bed and keep quiet. He said Dr. Gun ningham was feeling well. that there were no symptoms of the return of the hemorrhages which the day before gave rise to a feeling of alarm over the patients condition.
 pr. Bowling stated that by remain ing in bed and resting for week or 10 days, Dr. Cunningham would prob ably be fully able to resume his active duties.

J. R. Roberson of Cropwel we'll known and substantial farmer and mer- chant, thinks that John L. Burnett is in no danger of republicans, progress sives or other anti-democrats.
 T do not anticipate any trouble for Burnett" said MT. Roberson. He is stronger than ever before. Furthermore. do not believe that Sumter Cogswell will oppose him. Cogswell is the strongest progressive in the Seventh dis trict and without his opposition Burnett would have no need to return to his dis trict.
 Crops in St. Clair are very fair We had an excellent rain yesterday and are much gratified. Along the river cotton and corn are very good. Between Pell City and Birmingham, however, crops have suffered for want of rain to such an extent that very little success in gath ering will be scored"
 A s. Preston, the well known citizen of Jasper, was a visitor yesterday 10 Bir- mingham.
 "Walker county" he said, 'is unusually quiet. We had bond election last Mon day, and it carried. As a result we will issue in yearly instalments of ,000 s250,000 for use on the roads of our county. Some years ago such an elec- ton was attempted. but sentiment was not sufficiently aroused and the effort was dropped. There was some opposition this year. especially in Jasper. Jasper

CONNELLY IS FREED
Coroner Finds Killing of Charley Gray,
 Negro, Was Accidental

Joseph Connolly. a foreman of the Moore & Handley Hardware company. was released yesterday morning from the county jail where he had been placed on the charge of killing Charley Gray. negro, last Wednesday afternoon. Coro- ner Charles l.. Spain ordered him re- leased following personal investigation of the affair.

It ap- pears that Connolly was cleaning his pis- tol and it was accidentally discharged, the bullet striking Gray at the base of the neck and causing instant death. The cut over the left eye of the negro and the blood found on the barrel of the pistol YVES accounted for by the coroner in the fact that the negro had been in fight the night before and that when the negro was phot and about to fall Connolly grabbed him and some of the blood got on the bar rel of his pistol

That Birmingham will establish tech nolosical institution which will be the superior of anything of it's kind in the south is the belief of hundreds of citi- zens. as expressed on the streets yes terday Everything hinges on the ae- ton of the central committee, which worked for the university fund, when It meets next week. Chairman P. G. Shook of this committee devoted his whole time to the work of securing the fund, letting his business affairs go, and was busy yesterday and will be busy today clear ing his desk of accumulated mail. He probably will call the committee together Monday.
 On the central committee are several of the heads of large industries and majority of the committee will 1t Is be- lieved, favor the establishment of the technical school. provided, of course, the subscribers to the university fund are willing to permit their donation to re- main as it is. Many of the large con tributors have expressed a willingness to let their donation go for technolog
 cal school and several have said they would double their subscriptions.
 The proposed school would be a Bir- mingham institution. governed by Bir- mingham men and endowed with Bir- mingham capital. The field in Birming- ham is unequaled, it has been pointed out, and the situation here is ideal. The time is ripe for such school.
 At its business meeting Thursday night the Rotary club indorsed in advance any action the central committee might take at it's session next week. This action of the Rotary club was taken on the assumption that the technical school

One day l am almost persuaded to pack my suitcase for a trip to Montgom- cry and the next l reach the conclusion that the legislature will not be able to come together again until next January.
 Business in St. Clair is fairly good, and our crops are showing considerable improvement. Therefore, we should not grumble, extra session or no extra ses- sion.

NOL|GHT THROWNON bROOK|NS' MURDER BY CORONER'S JURY
"Came to Death at Hands of Parties Unknown Yer dict Returned After Ex-
 amining 20 Witnesses

"Deceased came to his death by gun shot wounds at the hands of parties un- known"
 This was the verdict returned yesterday afternoon by the coroners jury which for the past several days has been in- vestigating the assassination of Joseph w. Brookns, the street car motorman, on the night of June 15. A score or more of witnesses were examined but the po- lice were unable to make out a case against Thomas Webb, whom they have had in jail since June 2.
 Brookins was lured from his home by negro and was shot to death in a field at Fifty-frst street and Fourteenth avenue, north, just as tremendous thun- derstorm broke. Several arrests were made in the case, negro suspects being held several days, but were finally re- leased. Webb was arrested after a week s search and has protested his innocence all along.
 The assassination of Brookns was the third in a series of four that stirred Birmingham and all of which are as yet IS deep mysteries as ever. Prior to Brook tns. Leon Thomas, a street car conductor, was killed as he entered the yard of his home, and Albert Davidson was shot in his backyard. A few days after the kill ing of Brookins. Moses Houlihan, a me- chanic, was assassinated, completing the series.
 The Houlihan inquest will begin next Tuesday morning. Lewis King and Fred Newman are at present held in the county jail in connection with the killing. As for the other cases, the police have about a solution.
