FATE 0F WHITE IS
 IN HANDS 0F JURY Charged With Killing Dr. Terrell at Praco-Expect
 Death Penalty

The fate of Jesse White, negro,
 charged with the murder of pr. Cniles
 Terrell is in the hands of a jury of
 Jefferson county citizens and while
 failing to reach an agreement last
 night a verdict is expected early this
 morning. The case was concluded yes-
 terday afternoon, and the case went to
 the jury about 4:30 o'clock.
 Circuit Solicitor J. K. Tate opened
 the arguments for the state, Judge A.
 M. Douglas and Ben F. Ray followed
 for the defense, and Solicitor Hugo 1.
 Black made the closing argument All
 the speeches were impassioned and
 while the state asked for the extreme
 penalty the defense contended that there was an absence of malice aiore- thought. and insisted on the theory of self-defense.
 The defendant took the stand in his own behalf, and made very good wit ness for himself. He repeated the statements without variation that he had made to the officers when ar rested and denied any attempted burglary or any other crime. grill ing cross ss-examination at the hands of Solicitor Black failed to shake his tes- timony He told of his actions on the |
 night of the tragedy, stating he was on his way home, and that while pass ing near the commissary of the Export Pratt Coal company couple Of shots were fired in his direction and thinking that he was being attacked he fired it return. He stated he did not know l he had shot anyone until he was told of the death of Dr. Terrell. He admit ted having a loaded shotgun, and tha the shells were cut, and stated he was carrying the gun because he had re- ceived threats against his life. White gave his testimony in quiet earnest manner and seemed fully aware of the enormity of the crime charged against him. His attitude at all times during the trial was indica- tive of intense interest, and his eyes never left the witnesses and the attor- neys engaged in the case. After Doug las & Ray made a great fight for the negro and ably presented all the ex- tenuating circumstances in the case The general opinion among the .oui attaches is that the death penalty will be imposed.

COMMISSION TO-SEE
 . BOARD 0F REVENUE
Will Have Conference Soon on Proposed Road to
 Warrior

A joint conference between the board of city commissioners and the county board of revenue is being arranged for the next two or three days in order to consider tho request that survey be made by these two governmental authorities of the pro posed boulevard to the Warrior river.
 Nothing developed yesterday in the Warrior river transportation movement, but it is known conferences were held be- tween some of the committees engaged in the matter and that there may be develop ments today. In the meantime the confer ence between the board of revenue and the city commission will be held probably tomorrow or the next day, following which definite announcement as to what the two authorities will do will be forthcom- ing.
 The special committee of the Chamber
 of Commerce which waited upon the county and city authorities asked that they bear jointly the expense of prelimi-
 nary survey of the route so that the best
 route for the proposed boulevard from the city to the Warrior could be decided
 upon.
 This once done, the matter of financing the construction of the road will be taken up and it is possible that the city and the county will enter into this jointly, also, probably by county and city bond issues.
 Data is now being gathered on the cost of transportation of freight by motor truck over a modernly constructed highway as the Warrior boulevard will be. It is be- lieved by many people that this will be the most practical and feasible way of connecting the river barge line with the city proper.
 Negotiations with l.. Sevier of th Southern Railway company are progress ing, it is stated, along the lines which have been suggested regarding the pur- chase by the county and city of the pre- ent Maxine line of that company and op- crate it as a municipal or county trans portation system between the river and the city. Those advocating the electric railway, to be operated by power house at Lock 1T, are also gathering data regard ing this phase of the question.

 Question

As published exclusively in The Age
 Herald, the city commissioners yester-
 day adopted a resolution formally call
 ing an advisory referendum election for
 June 2s to give the voters an oppor-
 commissioners.
 Much interest is being taken in the
 election. Those in favor of the present
 five commissioner bill pending before
 the legislature. it is generally under stood, will make an active campaign
 prior to the election in favor of the bill; while those on the other side of the question doubtless will make no organ ized campaign.
 While the election result will not be binding on any authority, it is generally admitted that the legislature would not attempt to pass five commission bill in case the voters of the city should register majority vote against that change in the government

 Whereas, 1t is important that the quali- fled voters and citizens generally of the city of Birmingham should be informed of these measures designed to change their present form of government, and 1t is proper that the senators and repre- sentatives from Jefferson county be ad- vised as to the wishes of the qualified voters of this city in these matters: To Be Held June 2S No, therefore, be it resolved by the board of commissioners of the city of Birmingham, That an advisory referen- dunn election be and the same is hereby ordered to be held on Monday, June 2s. 1915. in form and manner as provided by law for the holding of referendum elections in the act establishing the pres ent city government and that the city clerk be and he is hereby directed, under the advice and instructions of the city attorney, to take such steps as may be necessary for the holding of such election, at which election shall be submitted to the qualified electors of Birmingham. the following propositions:
 Shall the number of commissioners of the city of Birmingham be increased from three to five?
 If the number of commissioners be in- creased from three to five shall the addi- tional commissioners be elected by the qualified electors of the city?"

GACL|ANO FREED OF
 CHARGE OF MURDER
Not Guilty of Participating in Lynching of Negro at
 BeSSemer

After a few hours deliberation the jury in the case of Louis Gagliano. charged with murder in the first de- gree, returned verdict of mot guilty and the defendant was discharged. The case went to trial Monday afternoon in the first division of the criminal court Judge H. P. Heflin presiding. and was concluded yesterday at noon. As sistant Solicitor Walter Brewer rep- resented the state. Counsel for the de- fendant were George Ross Judge Frank Cahalan, John P. Abbott and Palmer P. Daugetts.
 Gagliano was indicted for the mur- der of John Chandler, negro, who was shot to death while in custody of coun- ty officers at Bessemer three years ago. The killing occurred on Sunday after noon while the funeral of Frank Gagliano, a brother of the defendant, was in progress. Frank Gagliano was assassinated in his store at Bessemer and John Chandler was arrested and charged with the offence. On Sunday afternoon local officers started to trans fer the negro from the Bessemer jail to the county Jail, and while they were waiting for a street car the funeral pro cession passed.
 The negro was recognized as the man charged with the killing and, it is stated. that a number of persons attend ing the funeral rushed at the negro with drawn revolvers and he was shot to death. Gagliano was arrested and later indicted for the murder of the negro. After being in jail one year he was released on a $10,000 bond, and nearly three years after the crime was com mitted the accused was given trial and, as stated above. was acquitted.
 Qagliano denied the killing and proved
 that he was in carriage when the
 fusillade that killed the negro com
 menced. Many of the leading Italians
 of the district attended the trial and
 much satisfaction was expressed at the finding of the jury.
