EXPERIMENT WITH
N|TROGLY CER|N
Terrific Explosion Follows
When Boys Touch Match
to Small Quantity

When William Wood. son of +. H.
Wood, 1929 Underwood avenue. East Lake
poured a few teaspoonsful of liquid which
young Benton Hoen had found on Red
mountain a few weeks previous, upon the
ground and put a lighted match to it,
there was a terrific explosion which broke
out every window glass in the Wood
residence and tore a hole in the earth
about % feet square. The police depart
ment was notified, and upon investigations
IL was found that the liquid was nitro
glycerin. There was two one-gallon cans
CT the liquid in the possession of Benton
Hoen, and he told the officers that he
had found it on Red mountain sometime
ago. He and William Wood decided they
would see what the bottles contained
wbereIpon they by some lucky chance,
only poured small amount of it upon
the ground to experiment with.
Miss Daisy Hoen, in discussing the case,
said: 1T is really "A miracle that we are
all here and able to tell about this awful
experience. Benton, my 12-year-old broth
err came home about two weeks ago with
two glass jars full of a colorless liquid
and proceeded to put I'm ON the back
porch. No one thought any more about it
until today, when the two boys thought
they would see what the contents con-
sisted Of OF course you know the result
The officers told as that the liquid was
nitroglycerin and had been stolen from
the jefferson Powder company sometime
ago / shudder to think what would have
happened if my little brother had fallen
down with those Jars when he was lug
ging them home.
The discovery of the ntroglycerin led
the police to believe that an organized
band OF yeggmen are in this district ana
were merely waiting for the right time to
crack some safe in Birmingham.

Tenant occupancy means occupied by

tenant-occupied house must pay a higher
rate than the house occupied by its owner.
Add 10 per cent" is the 10 per cent IN
crease in fire insurance rates made in
this city some several months ago by the
officials of the Southeastern Underwent
ers' association. and which at the time
was given considerable publicity on ac-

it aroused among civic organizations, mer-
chants and individuals in general.
All of this sensational increase in the
cost of fire insurance is necesstated.

be done to remedy this situation.
