torn to shreds Sunday by FIVE
lions, whose cage he had entered

him alive.
There were ten lions I'm the
freight car ON a sidetrsck in the

ment, thousands of persons re-
turning from a days outing were
thrown into panic by information
that some of the lions had escap-
ed and were being pursued By
rifle suqsds from the nearby POI
lice stations and the Union stock
yards.
While Dietrich was making his
brief and losing fight for life In
the teeth and claws of the feroc-
ious beasts, five lion cubs, each
about the size of a young wolf
hound, leaped from the car and
tried to slip away. George Nj
Cord, keeper of the animals. rear
izing the peril to the crowds on
every side, devoted all his ener-
gies to returning them to the car.
This he accomplished.
LION Leaps From Behind.
The ten lions are the property
of Nine. Adgie Castillo. who is to
open an engagement in a Chicago
theater in July. Dietrich, who
was connected with the show,
went into the car in which the
animals had ben brought to Chi
cago to feed them. Keeper Me-
Cord, who saw the tragedy, said:
Dietrich went into the den
where the six big lions are kept

leader in the attack on Dietrich
started to play with him and he
ordered the beast to lie down.
Four of the lions were facing him

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Why He Fayors Conner

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 However Independent the river towns and seaports may be as to local or in terstate rates, there Is no question about their supreme importance to Bir- mingham. There are just two first class inland cities in the southeast having no water outlet whatever; these are Birmingham and Atlanta. We have been hugging the delusion to our breasts that we were outstripping At lanta, but location of the regional bank was rude awakening What is the matter that Atlanta goes so steadily ahead, defies us to catch her in spite of all our natural resources? There must be reason for 1t. l believe the advantage of Atlanta lies in the lower freight rates, by which she distributes what she has to sell. I do not belong to the Conner school of politics, but I am going to vote for him and back him up for all I am worth in his efforts to secure for Birmingham the same rates that Atlanta has, It is a vital matter with us here in Birmingham, and "old Conner" is our only hope.

HOW MANY CLERKS WILL THE REGIONAL
 BANKS EMPLOY?

Atlanta. April 1S.-(Special.) )-Now that Atlanta is to have the regional bank, one question that appears to be worrying everyone is. how many employees will it have?
 The number has been variously esti- mated all the way from 25 or 30 to 1500 Nearly everybody, even among those who have worked for the vank and studied the meaning of it, has a different idea on this subject; and the views about i. even of the bankers, have changed mate- rially from time to time
 The first theory was that as the bank would only transact business with other banks and have no dealings with the public. comparatively few clerks would be employed.
 Then the thing began to grow bigger and bigger. It was announced that there was $25c,000 available for securing quar- ters for the bank. This didn't look much like a concern employing 40 or 50 men.
 The estimates began to grow and some of them went way over 1000 and even up to 1900 Some of the best informed men now express the view that there will be about 600 employees in the new bank But they don't know; none of them seem to know. Possibly the Secretary of the Treasury himself does not know
 One well-known banker here holds to the about 500 idea, pointing out that the regional bank when 1t takes lot of small notes as collateral for a loan, will have to keep books on them and have clerks for collecting them.
 But when 1t comes to knowledge on the subject the one thing certain is that no one has 1t.

Weather Conditions

Bfrming gham, April 18.-T D. m. The winds were southerly over the gulf states during most of the last 24 hours. but the increasing cloudiness brought a moderate cool change over most of the lower Mississippi valley and the gulf region. A decided cool change has taken place in the midle and north ern plains states, where the winds are northerly from a high in the Rocky mountains, toward the principal cen- ter of low pressure in the upper lakes. A fall of 20 to 40 degrees was reported from the upper Mississippi and lower Missouri valley states.
 Most of this cool wave will cross the northern half of the country. following the low pressure center closely as it crosses the lakes and northeastern states, but a moderate cool change will extend over the gulf region also. AL ready the winds are blowing from the northerly points in the cotton states beyond the Mississippi river.
 Brisk to high winds and a general rain crossed the central rally and west ern cotton states along with the center of low pressure. Tonight the rains had entered western Mississippi and west able that we will have rainfall in Ala bama Sunday. In the southern sections the rains are not continuing long, and are heavy only in places. From this We may judge that the rainy period on reaching us will soon give way to clearing and colder weather.
