CROW IMPOSES 4
 FINE FOR CONTEMPT Attorney Denson and Court
 in Clash Yesterday LAWYER APOLOGIZES
The Court Then Remits the Jail Sen. tence of Five Days Providing
 S25 Fine Is Immedi-
 ateE Paid

William IT, Denson, one of the leading
 members of the Birmingham bar, was fired S25 and given jail sentence of five
 days yesterday by Judge F. C. Crow of
 the circuit court for contempt of court Judge Crow later remitted the jail sen- tence on the payment instanter of the s25 fine
 The alleged contempt occurred during the trial of damage suit against the Birmingham Waterworks company. Mr. Denson was making the opening argument to the Jury when Borden Burr of counsel for the defendant objected to the line of argument. Judge Crow sustained the objection which brought a nasty reply from MT. Denson In very loud tone.
 Judge Crow rebuked him and contro- versy occurred between the judge and the attorney which resulted in Judge Crow imposing Jail sentence of five days for contempt. He allowed Mir Denson to finish the case, but instructed the batlin to place him in jail when the case was concluded He also instructed the jury
 that the incident had nothing to do with
 the merits of the case and that theX
 must not consider 1t in reaching a ver- dict.
 l At the conclusion, of the case Judge Crow called Mir Denson before him and Progressed his regrets at having to repri-
 mand an attorney who was one of the officers of the court. He said 1t was the first time in his four years experience l that he had had thIs to do. but that he | felt in this instance affront had been offered to the court and that in order to
 maintain its dignity 1t was necessary to. discipline him for his conduct. 1 MT Denson said that he had not meant any disrespect to the court, and that he 1 entertained the highest regard for Judge Crow. He stated that if he raised his voice louder than was necessary 1t was
 due to the interest ne felt in the case
 and that 1t was a breach of the mouth and not of the heart that at | no time had he intended to cast any refec-
 ton on the court and expressed his re- grets at the occurrence.
 Judge Crow then .remitted the jail sen- tence but imposed the fine of $25. which was immedia tely paid.
 Later the jury in the case returned a
 verdict for the plaintiff and assessed the damages at s4Oo

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric

Notwithstand the indictment weather and the counter attraction-the opening of the Hotel Tutwiler-a fair-sized au- dience was present last night at the Lyric theatre and was amply repaid for brav- ing the elements by a bill that includes some of the best and most popular num- bers in vaudeville.
 To Miss Ray Samuels, "the blue streak of vaudeville. fell the highest honors She presented a series of the latest song hits from Broadway in manner that was simply irresistible and although she re- sponded to several encores the audience still asked for more. Her character impersonations were great; in fact. from the moment she commented her act until it's finish she kept the au- dience entertained. Mis- Samuels is one of the most finished comediennes on the vaudeville stage and iast night fully maintained her high standing as an arr tist.
 A decided novelty that had the addi- tiona attraction of originality was the act of the Chung What company quartet. The four Chinamen proved themselves talented musicians and real comedians Their impersonations of the "newsboy quartet" was very good. while the Ce- lestial who essayed the role of Harry Lauder put burr on his words that strongly smacked of the land of the Cale- donian.

PASSENGERS TELL OF SOUTHERN WRECK Dead Engineer Probably Saved Many Lives PUT ON AIRBRAKES No One Was Injured Except Engineer and Fireman, Who Were Killed
 When Engine Turned
 Over

Eleven hours and 35 minutes late, the New York Special Southern railway passenger train No. 29 lmped into the Terminal station about 4:55 o'clock yester- day morning and unloaded half dozen local passengers before it started on again. The cause of the delay was a wreck at Reidsville, N. C.. about 12:l5 O o'clock Sunday morning. in which Engi- neer Wingate of the train and his fireman were killed.
 C. II. Welsel, young student at the University of Pennsylvania, who was re- turning home to Birmingham, was pas senger on the train. He stated that he was on one of the Pullmans that was partly overturned.
 "I am mighty glad to reach Birmng- ham," said Mir Weser, after greeting his father affectionately. "as We had rather d sad experience. It was a very bad wreck and 1t makes one shudder to think of the narrow escape of the passengers from a horrible death. The Pullman coach that degrees and l assure you that it did not
 take me very long to vacate that partic-
 ular coach. We remained eight hours or the scene of the wreck-one long, weary wait"
 Other passengers so rapidly scattered through the early morning crowd at the
 Terminal that it was impossible to get their experiences. Dr. J. J. Fabian and his wife, from Grand Rapids Mich. who were passengers on the train from Balti-
 more to Birmingham on a visit to rela-
 tives in this city. stated that they were aboard the Pullman that remained on the
 track and were not so badly shaken up.

 bian, Ion the first Pullman coach that
 remained on the track. You see, the en-

 Being a physician, l administered first
 aid to Wingate, but 1t was of no avail as the engineer died in about three minutes. There was a long delay at the scene of the wreck, but at the time there was no great excitement. as comparatively few Of the passengers were cognixant of the fact thai, they were in 6 wreck. In the morn ing of course, they found out. The scene of the wreck was about IL miles north of Greensboro. N C., and il
 happened between the small towns ot Sadler and Reidsville. What prevented heavier casualties was that Engineer Wingate evidently realized the danger when he felt the engine leave the rails for he threw on the air brakes and this is held responsible for the fact that tn, greater part of the coaches remained or | the track and were uninjured.

FORM CONVENTION
 BUREAU THIS WEEK
Probable That Individual Manager Will Be Placed
 in Charge

The convention bureau of the Cham- Der of Commerce will be organized within the next week or ten days and it is ex- pected that many conventions of the larger size will be turning towards Dir mjngham after 1t is well under way. Just who will be manager of the bureau is not know at the present time, even to Cham Der of Commerce officials, but 1t Is con- sdered very likely that 1t will be placed under the management of man. who will have no other duty than this. It IS thought at least one stenographer in ad- dition to the manager will be necessary to keep it going
 J. H. Finder chairman of the execu- tive committee of the Board of Trade, and member of the Board of Trade com mittee of the Chamber of Commerce. Is an enthusiastic believer in the benefits conventions bring to city. He thinks that with its increased hotel facilities. natural resources, beautiful residence sec- tions and balmy climate, Birmingham should be the greatest convention city in the south.
 Los Angeles Cal. is now one of the greatest convention cities in the United States" said MT. Finder yesterday. and 1t is. due to the fact that that city has a. standing fund of s25,0oO for the purpose of securing and entertaiing conventions. When a convention visits Los Angeles the delegates are given passes to every amuse- ment device in the city, as well as passes OF the street car lines--everything being absolutely free Hotel bills of course, must be paid by the visitors.
 conventions have tendency to aid the city beautiful movement. for citizens of city naturally want everything to look at it's best when large convention Is ex- pected. Birmingham should have a fund to be used for nothing else than securing conventions. It would pay the largest kind of dividends to the merchants and people generally

An inch of rain fell last night between 7:4 and 7:55 o'clock and the wind main tained a velocity of B miles an hour, according to information given out at the United States weather bureau last night after the rainstorm.
 The storm proper only lasted about 10 minutes and the weather bureau officials state that they believe 1t means the break ing up of the extreme hot weather which has prevailed in practically all parts of the country the past week or two. The rain and the strong wind. which came from the north. mixed together made one of the most spectacular storms seen in the city in sometime.
 It was the heaviest rain ever experi- enced in this city in that length of time or rather since the weather bureau has

 On the downtown streets during the storm tho air itself appeared to be one swirling mass of water The rain didn't appear to be coming from any particular direction. The air was just full of it going every way and when it was over the street intersections at many places were flooded up over the sidewalks, due to the inability of the storm sewers to carry off the water as fast as 1t fell. As far as was reported last night, how ever there was no serious damage done anywhere by the storm. One or two doors and window glasses were blown in and on some of the Highlands the streets were washed considerable, but nothing else.
