NEGROES VICTIMS
 OF PURSE SNATCHER
Women Lose $1O in Money and Two Return Tickets to Talladega.
 Big Crowd Gathers

A purse-snatcher secured $10 in money and two return tickets to Talladega from Mary Carson and Rachel Carson, negroes at the corner of Twenty-second street and Fifth avenue last night about 8 o'clock and escaped with his haul, the lusty yells of his victims notwithstanding. About 100 nearby residents. hearing the cries of the two negro women, chased the purse-grab- Der down Fifth alley toward Twenty-first street, but he escaped.
 Mary Carson said she and Rachel had come to Birmingham from Talladega in response to telegram which stated their uncle was dying. Upon arriving here they and were on their way to the Terminal station to return to Talladega when the purse was snatched.
 It was one of the most daring of re- cent robberies. the street being filled with pedestrians and several persons were walking behind the victims at a distance of not more than 10 feet. The negro lost his footing at Fifth alley and Twenty second street, when he turned into the al- lev and skidded about 15 feet. He regained his balance in an instant, however, and his pursuers never had,a chance.
 Mary and Rachel still are wondering how they will get to Talladega, and when The Age-Herald reporter left the scene they were engaged in an animated discus sior of the merits of a warning Rachel claims she gave Mary mot to carry dat money and dem tickets in her hand"

 tion of Real Estate Market

We have been working on this deal Tor sometime and have finally closed it up. In my opinion it is a sure sign of prosperity for this district and only goes to show the absolute confidence that some of the most prominent finan- ciers have in the future of Birming ham real estate. There can be no doubt that real estate in this city is looking up and 1t will only be ques tion of time before things in this line will be normal
 Mr. Mourning said: 'I was the rep resentative for T. C. Cairns in the deal and am of the opinion that all parties of the transaction are satisfied with their trade. According to my opinion this is only one of the many deals that will be consummated in Birmingham real estate in the near future This deal only shows that there is plenty of buyers for real estate provided the price is reasonable. That every man who owns real estate in Birmingham considers it a good investment Is shown by the recent briskness in the mar ket"
 Neither Major Tutwiler nor MT. Cairns would make any statement. re- fcrring reporters to their agents.

LADIES ANNOUNCE NO PARK CONCERTS
 FOR THIS SUMMER
The Music Study Club Finds Time Is Not Propitious for Raising Neces-
 sary Funds

The Music Study club yesterda1 made formal announcement that the idea of giving park concerts this sum- ner had been abandoned because con ditions were not favorable to raising the necessary funds. A statement ls- sued by the executive board expresses tho regret of the members that this action was necessary but hopes that the concerts can be resumed when times are more propitious. The state- ment reads
 "rhe executive board of the Music Study club wishes to state that the club will be unable to furnish to the public park concerts this season; tho club regrets this very much, but as the necessary financial backing could not be secured 1t was decided to forgo the concerts for this summer. The city and the corporations which have gwen so generously for these concerts here tofore felt they could do absolutely nothing this year. so that the cost would fall upon those individuals in the community who were interested enough to give for them and after an earnest effort extending over some weeks. this support could not be se- cured, not even enough for few con eerts. It was suggested that the club give a "tag day" and try to thus raise the amount; the bot d believes, first of all that tag day belongs to the Boys club, and again 1t was felt that with so many people in actual want and ap- reals to relieve real distress so fre- uuent this summer possibly the money ordinarily given for music might be better spent to relieve dts tress.
 "The Music Study club regrets this very much, and wishes the public to understand that the concerts are only abandoned for this year, when condi- tons are so very much depressed. and hopes 10 arrange for them another year.

WOULD BILL PREVENT CANDIDACY OF LANE?

The five commissioner bill. in the event of It's passage through the legislature and its vindication by a vote of the people of Birmingham on date in August, would, 1t is believed by constitutional lawyers, prevent the candidacy of Judge A. c. Lane.
 AS is remembered, Judge Lane, who re- signed judegship to accept seat on the commission, was held to be constitu- tionally in possession of that seat by virtue of a clause in the bill whk h cre- ated commission form of government for Birmingham, which made 1t possible for him to yield an office "under the slate'' and accept another during the term for which he was elected to the office 'under the state" In the five commissioner bill that clause is not contained. The term for which Judge Lane was elected to serve as judge would not have expired by the date of the beginning of his new term as commissioner
 For that reason constitutional lawyers hold that under the five commissioner bill Judge Lane could not serve.

THIS CITY WOULD MAKE OF COLLEGE
 ANOTHER TULANE
Dr. Charles WattersOn Talks of Visit to New Orleans. Wisdom of Moving the
 Medical School
RESOURCES

What New Orleans has done for Tu- lane, Birmingham would do for the medical college of the University of Ala bama.
 Dr. Charles Watterston, just returned from a visit to the Crescent City. de- clares that he was profoundly inn pressed with the rapid strides forward made in recent years by Tulane, and with the possibilities which Birming- ham would offer the medical college now located at Mobile, were that in- stitution transferred to Birmingham
 "The big city makes the medical school" he added. Tulane since 1907 has increased the number of its instruc- tors from e1 to 10s. and the number O: its laboratories from seven to 24. Its faculty is composed of some of the most famous physicians, sanitarians and svr- geons in America. It's dean, pr. Isadcre Dyer, is president of the American Col lege association, and Drs Bass and Metz and others have been signallys honored for their scientific research by the American Medical association. Tulane s splendid progress is due in great part tO tHo ldCI lildl ilS StuuchtS HoNC dS- cess to Charity hospital On the day visited this institution its number of patients was 990, and the bulletin board recorded the fact that on the day 65 had been discharged and 72 admitted.
 If the legislature acts in wisdom and transfers the medical department of the University of Alabama to Bir- mingham, this city will make of ttai department one of the great medical institutions of the country. The Hillmar hospital under Dr. E. P. Hogan, has adequate facilities. The hospital can ac- commodate a sufficient number Of patients to give clinical material for study in every branch of medicine. Such conditions do not exist in Mobile.
 "The growth of the college In Blr- mingham would be remarkable. Soon it's faculty would be composed of very famous men, and the institution would be deemed worthy of the beneficence of very rich philanthropists throughout the United States. In Mobile. the college must naturally retrograde."

TURNER LEADING CANDI-
DATE COM. ATTORNEY.

We have been asking some
questions, during the past few
weeks, in regard TO the race for
Commonwealth Attor Y
among the people of Ballard
county, and we find the majority
of them are supporting our coun-
ty man, Henry +. Turner. While
it is true he had strong opposi-
ton in his last race for County
Attorney, not because he was
not giving satisfaction, but be
cause his opponent was a NEE
gentleman, and was also well
qualified and had many friends,
he now has the support of a ma
iorify of those who opposed him
then. With this strong follow
ing in his own county, and good
following in all the other coun-
ties of the district, makes him
the leading candidate, and as t
now stands it is Turner against
the field.
We are glad TO see this, as he
is as well qualified as any man
in the race, and should be elect
ed. And we believe that if Bal
lard county will line up for Hen
~ Turner, he is bound 10 win.
That they will do so, there is lit
tie doubt, from the way the peo-
pie are now talking. That he
Justly deserves their solid sup
port goes without saying. There
is no man in the race who would
appreciate it more than Henry
Turner, and from his past rec
ord as County Attorney for
more than six years We are
ready and willing to say that we
believe he will make a Common
wealth S Attorney that the peo-
pie of his home county and OF
the district will ever be proud
