 JUSTICE IS URGED
 BY GRAND JURY

 Solicitor Black

A surprise was sprung yesterday when the grand jury in it's partial report to Judge w. F. Fort submitted a special the impeachment of J. w. Corbin. ex- officio justice of the peace for Precinct 90 at Republic Discrepancies in the en- tries of his criminal docket are alleged. The bill of information was turned over to Solicitor Hugo l.. Black, who will. it is understood, draw up the specifications upon which Impeachment proceedings will be brought.
 Justice Corbin was appointed to the of- flee about a year ago, and it is stated that no charges heretofore have been brought against him. The bill of informa- tor filed by the grand jury follows: Honorable William E. Fort and H. P. Hefln, Judges of the Criminal Court of Jefferson County:
 ''The grand jury for the April term. 1915, desires to submit the following partial report:
 We recommend, that J. w. Corbin notary public. and ex-officio justice of the peace of Precinct 50, Jefferson county, Alabama, be impeached for the following causes:
 .1. Corruption in office, said corruption consisting in the fact that the said J w. Corbin, while acting as notary public and justice of the peace. in and for said precinct, corruptly failed to enter up on docket of criminal cases all the trials of criminal causes had by him, showin his judgments with reference to sucn causes, and showing all monies paid to him by defendants therein, in satisfaction of said judgment.
 70 For an offense involving mora turptude while in office, in that the said J. w. Corbin, during the year 1914 and during the time he was acting as such notary public, ex-officio justice of the peace, embedded or fraudulently con verted to his own use or to the use of another, money paid into his office, or received by him in his official capacity to the extent of about S150.

It is stated that the rapid stmdes taken in Alabama during the past few years in stock raising as we'll as in states bordering Alabama have in- fluenced the Armour company to con struct in this city plant for the utilization of the cattle being raised here. An agent for the company came here several weeks ago and se- cured an option on local packing plant in operation.
 The plant has a maximum acreage ol eight acres and while thoroughly efficien, for small operations, did not measure UT to the requirements of the famous Chi cago packers. The option was not ex. ercised but the agent advised the Chi. cago offices of the local advantages ant suggested the construction of a new plant here. The accessibility of this dis trict.; railroad advantages, and the many other features which attract added to the fact that Birmingham Is almost the cen ter of the cattle raising zone, were facts pointed out by the investigator from Chi cago, The company thereupon secured the acreage and it Is stated plans are now being drawn in the Chicago offices for the construction of the local opera. tion.
 It was stated yesterday that the com pany acts, as a rule very cautiously or matters as important as the location oi new packing houses, but that very posi- tive intimations had been given that the plant here would be authorized within short time. It will have very large capacity and will have facilities for the manufacture of such finished products as all packing houses supplying such

a zone as the Birmingham operation will serve.
 It was the opinion expressed yesterday in local industrial circles that the fact that Armour x Co.,, planned to erect the huge plant in this section would give added encouragement to the cattle rais- CTS of this section and would be very strong incentive for cattlemen to in- crease their holdings.
 The land which has been optioned by Armour & Co.,, is situated within what is called the packing house locality at North Birmingham. It comprises about 60 acres which is by far the largest amount of land ever optioned or secured here for packing house purposes. It was stated yesterday that the locality has unusual railroad advantages, including trackage rights from the Southern rail way. the Louisville and Nashville and the Birmingham Belt. Aside from this the location is near the street railway tracks so that local express service will be avail able
 The company planning this plant has distributing stations In many states. with packing houses in certain zones to take care of the territory assigned to every section. It is stated that Birmingham has been figured out as being In the center of rapidly growing section. hence a very attractive point for the construc- ton of the new and needed industry. In addition to the advantages of this sec tion 1t is stated that the company is planning export business for South Amer lea and 1t is pointed out here that Bir- mingham is within very close proximity to that section and advantages are rec ognized in that connection.
 For obvious reasons local officials of Armour X Co.,, are unwilling to make any statements about the plans of the company. It is stated however, that local officials are lending every infiu- ence they possess to convince any offl- cials in Chicago who might hesitate on the expenditure at this time. that the plant is necessary and that no better locality or a more promising field could be selected than Birmingham

 to most successful meeting.
 Special rates on all the railroads op-

 granted for the meeting and arrange

The entire situation is in the hands of men trained at the mines and in shops and on rail
 roads to render immediate and effective service to those unlucky fellows who are injured in their work. These men have been under the direction of com- | petent trainers and I am positive theiI work will not only be pleasing to out side observers but will be very grati- | flying to the men in this district who

WALLS OF THE ASH

Since the fall of the wall of the burned Steele-Smith building. which caused such terrible loss of life, 1t was thought that the west wall of the adjacent building occupied by A. and A.

Experts have carefully examined the work and have stated that 1t is as safe for A. and A. A sh to continue business as heretofore.

If 1t Is as successful as we hope for and firmly believe 1t will be. there Is no question but what we will be able to secure for Birmingham the October meeting of the American Mine Safety association. If we get that convention 1t will mean at least 800 visitors. In addition 1t will greatly encourage the plans we have here for safety operations and Is oth- erwise most desirable.

NO SHARP PASSAGES
 DURING THE DAY

The investigation was without feature. There were no sharp passages all day. There was evident some feeling on the part of the large crowd that packed the room from early morning until night. There were evidences of sentiment brought into the investigation for union ism and non- -unionism. favorable to the commission form of government and un- favorable. The crowd did not appear to realize any solemnity attached to the event Repeatedly there were cheers and applause and laughter either on one side or the other.
 Shortly after the afternoon session be- gan, MT Ward created some little excite ment by stating that when he was at lunch he had heard someone make the statement that everybody appeared to be represented at the hearing except the people,.
 The commissioners, he sad, try to represent the people but in order that no one will be able to make such state ment again. I see two well known attor- Leys in the room and I now move that they be asked by this board to come for ward and question witnesses on behalf of the people. l speak of Phares Coleman and Henry J. Martin If their services require remuneration, the city will do so. v
 After some urging both MT. Coleman and MT Martin accepted the offer and after that helped question the witnesses.

The result of the first days probe is about as follows: By expert opinion the Steele-Smith wall, as far as any man was able to judge, was safe, probably safer than
 new wall.
 That it fell from some abnormal condition which an expert on building cannot reckon with
 What that condition was is as much mystery as the name of the man in the moon.

 opinions to all of this. But the ex- perts with the single exception of R.

 Ward at the beginning of the hearing:
 The purpose of this investigation is to ascertain the cause or causes of the re- cent disaster resulting from the fall of the
 walls of the Steele-Smith building and to ascertain whether or not any city official
 or city officials have been derelict in their duty.
 "In doing this we propose to get at the whole truth. so that not only the board of commissioners, but the public gener- ally may know the truth of the matter. The commissioners recognize the fact that we lack the full powers of a court or grand jury in such cases. but we pro
