MYSTERY OF KILLING OF BOY
 IS,SOLVED, SAY THE POLICE
Robert Benton Negro Held On Charge of Murderng Willie Tncker at Ensey On Night of February 8-said to Have Made Complete Confession Impi- eating Another Young Negro

South Ensley car line, and they accom- panied her. While walking with her she said:
 bicycle.''
 One of the negro boys replied that 1t was not an officer, but a boy, and the other negro said:
 Let's go get him."
 The two then ran after the boy on the bicycle, who was Willie Tucker, and stopped him. One pointed pistol at the boy, who laughed continuously, and the other searched his clothes, but could building was heard to open and shut and Willie Tucker, still laughing at the ne- groes, placed his foot on the pedal of his wheel and was Just about to mount it, when one of the negroes fired his pistol, which he held in his left hand Without sound Tucker crumbled up in tangle with his bicycle. The two negroes ran in the direction of Pratt City, and went to bed. The next morning they resumed their labors as stable boys about the town as if nothing had hap -pened.
 But they had been seen running and this information was known to Detec- tives Wiggins and Granger a few hours after the killing. Later the negro wom- an who was walking with the negro boys was picked up and made a state ment. The followed the arrest early Tuesday morning of Robert Benton, who it Is alleged immediately made full confession. Benton admits that the kill ing was done with his pistol, but claims that his partner did the shooting. The arrest of the other negro boy is ex- pected within the next few hours.
 At any rate the above is the version of the police.
 Willie Tucker, aged II years, was the son of Mrs. Fannie Tucker Hornsby, of Ensley, and was employed as a delivery boy in an Ensley drug store. The kill ing of the boy caused a sensation in Birmingham and the police of the city devoted their entire energies to tracing down the murderer of the boy.

DOCTORS ASK TO BE
 FREED OF LICENSE
Delegation Appears Before Commis- siOn-Great Amount of Charity
 Work Makes License Unjust

delegation of about 35 doctors of the city, headed by Judge Zell Gaston as their attorney. appeared before the city commission yesterday and asked that the law requiring license fee of $15.bO per annum for doctors be repealed.
 Speeches were made by Judge Gaston, Dr. F. P. Riggs, Dr. R. M. Cunningham, pr. W.. c. Gewin Dr. L. A. Jenkins, pr. S. L. Ledbetter and others. The commis- sion took the matter under advisement and will act later.
 The argument advanced by all of the speakers was that the license is unjust on account of the great amount of charity work the doctors perform daily. The fact was repeatedly emphasized that doctors did not coin money by any means. as seems to be the popular impression. II was stated that only four cities in the United States license doctors. and three were in Alabama. the four being New Orleans, Mobile, Montgomery and Bir- mingham.

SWEATERS COLUMN" OF AGE-HERALD NOW FILLS
 GENUINE NEED OF CITY

The new "swappers' column of The Age Herald, inaugurated yes terday morning. met instant favor.
 There Is column conducted daily in this newspaper where you can swap" anything in the world and the man who sees your ad- vertisement is just as glad to get in touch with you as you are with him.
 This column Is just the thing for you in these strenuous times, for If you haven't the cash to pay for something you want. certainly you haN somthing to trade.
 For instance, in the column this morning is found a man who wants to trade bulldog for possum dog. He is sure 10 get in touch with man who has possum dog. but would rather have a bulldog.
 A man yesterday wanted to swap some good hunting boots for clay pigeon trap. Another had a stout pony he wanted to swap for a Shet- land pony.
 And so it goes. Every household has some article which the lady or gentlman of the house would be glad to swap for something else, and the swappers' column offers just the opportunity for getting traders together
 There Is another thing that will make this swappers column popu- lar, and that is it's actual news value. Many readers claim they get more of genuine human interest out of the classified columns than from any other part of the paper for there the wants and desires of the public are portrayed simply and effectively. And there is more of human interest in the swappers' column than anywhere else Nothing is too small to be worthy of offering for exchange through the swappers column, nothing is too large to arouse the interest of the man or woman who

 Judge B. M Allen asked the commits sioners to pass an ordinance regulating the transactions in the sale of cattle for slaughtering purposes. He said that probably q system of registering 1ne names of all people who bought and sold cattle would answer the purpose His complaint was that there is an extensive system of cattle robbery in operation and that the stolen cattle, after being sold and slaughtered, completely cover up all chances of detecting the thief Attorney Romaine Boyd was instructed to draft an ordinance to cover the mat ter.

LONG CONFERENCE
 ON INFRINGEMENT
Announcement From Com mission as to Decisions
 Expected Today

three-hour conference was held be- tween the city commissioners and Comp troller Abbott late yesterday afternoon over plans for retrenchment in the eX- penses of the city.
 It was stated by Commissioner Ward that the plans had not yet assumed proper shape to be made public.
 The commissioners expect to continue their discussion of retrenchment today, and 1t is probable some announcements of what they decide to do will be made. r. is already known that they intend to cut their own salaries and those of all department heads and employees making over $l00 per month.
 Other than this nothing definite is known, although there Is strong prob ability that some dismissals will occur and that one or two departments of the gov- ernment may be entirely eliminated.

WILL NOT ATTEMPT
 ID PURCHASE PLANT
 FOR A YEAR OR TWO

It is probable no steps will be taken by the city to buy the plant of the Bir- mingham Waterworks company for at least a year or two. it was stated yes- terday. under the municipal ownership clause of the water contract signed Mon day.
 As long as general business conditions are nc better than at present, members of the commission believe it would be unwise to attempt to sell the bonds which would be necessary to buy the plant pro- vided such bond issue was authorized by the voters. According to clause of the contract the city must accept or re- fuse the price fixed by the board of ap- praisers of the plant within six months after it is made, and therefore the ap- praisement in all probability will be held up for a time.
 The city already has the power to build it's own plant" said Commissioner Weatherly, and it now has also the power to buy the existing plant of the Bir- mingham Waterworks company. There is particular hurry about either one. except just as the people desire. An eff fort to do either now would probably meet with many difficulties on account of financial and business conditions with which all are familiar.
 The effect of the new contract is to give the people their choice of building their own plant or buying the present one or both. They do not have to do either at once within any stipulated time. They can take their own sweet will in the matter and do as they please when they please.
 It's now for the people who are the water consumers to decide how they wish to acquire municipal ownership of water works, how soon they wish to acquire it, how much money they wish to pay for it and whether they wish to build new one, buy the old one do both. I do not know of city in the United States which has such free working and elas- rt ic plan as that. And in the meantime tNhe water consumer is enjoying reason ble rates, whether. the city owns the ftlant or not
 There was considerable discussion about the city yesterday regarding the new water contract, and everywhere the pub lie appeared to be very favorably i'm pressed.

W|THDRAWS FROM SECRETARY RACE
 OF CIVIC CHAMBER
Sibley Announces Retire. ment in Interest of Har- mOny-JOhnsOn to An
 nOunce Committees Soon

Jchn w. Sibley yesterday withdrew from the race for secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. In letter to President Crawford Johnson he states that his withdrawal is due to a desire to conserve the harmony and success of the chamber,
 This leaves the race for the general secretaryship between John F.. Shelby. N. F. Thompson and W. c. Radcliffe, in- ctmbent. It is indicated the first meeting of the board of directors under MT. John sons administration, and the meeting at which the secretary for the year is se- lected, will be held about Friday after room of this week.
 No announcement has been made, how ever, although Mr. Johnson with his two vice presidents, Eugene Brown ana J. Frank Rushton, were in conference all of yesterday morning on the appointment ef the standing committees for the year, which work is always completed before the first meeting of the board is called. President Johnson stated yesterday after no on that he had just begun to realize what an enormously big task the naming of these committees was, but that he hoped to have them ready for publication by tomorrow. The chairman of these standing committees each have q vote in the election of the general secretary, as well as the members of the boaro
 Mir Sibley's letter to President John son, which is self-explanatory, is as fol- lows:
 Dear Sir Soon after your nomination for the presidency warm personal friend of mine informed me that there was a strong probability of a vacancy in the office of general secretary, and that in a conversation with him you had kindly mentioned my name as a man capable of filling the position with credit and sat isfaction.
 He suggested that I feel out the pulse of the directors on the proposition, and conferred with a number of them and also the ex-presidents. The suggestion met with such cordial approval at their hands that l concluded in event change was made would be glad to to serve as general secretary, if you and the direc- tors desired 1t.
 Shortly after public announcement was made of this, the present incumbent an- nounced that he would be candidate for reelection and two other esteemed members of the chamber also announced they would accept if elected, and 1t seems that the friends of all parties have got ten busy in a canvass.
 My record, 1 believe, will show that in all my connection with the Chamber of Commerce l have striven to exemplify it's motto Not For Self But TOT All and as I do not wish the beginning of your administration to be marred by a contest. that might leave some friction. l. therefore, desire to withdraw by name from consideration, believing that haf- mony and success can best be conserved far ho ob av,1ha a1IoWjppr a the rl to make 6 selection unhampered.
