INSURANCE MEN HAVEFREEFORAL ALL
 FIGHT IN OFFICE
J. R. Riley Tells the Police He Was Attacked When He Discharged John
 s. Williams

Some little stir was occasioned yes terday morning about 11:30 o'clock when J. R. Riley, manager of the New York Life Insurance company, walked into police headquarters and announced that he had just been attacked by three men, two of whom were in the employ of his company, in his office on the second floor of the First National bank building. He stated that he had '1aid out" two of his assailants with heavy metal paperweight, but that another man had fled.
 Officers Brown and Williams made an investigation and the office on the second floor was found in state of confusion, several pieces of furniture being overturned. John S. Denegre and j. w. Woodward were found In the care of physician, Dr. J. D. Heacock. on the fifth floor of the building. Both hen had sustained painful injuries around the head, their scalps being severely lacerated. pr. Heacocl stated, however, that they WOulu OOuDtleSS soon recover. Both of the Injured men were taken home in an automobile after their wounds had been dressed.
 Mir Riley made bond, but as yet no charge has been entered against the wounded men. When seen by an Age Herald reporter last night, he stated he had been sick for the past two weeks but had gone down to the office Sun day morning to look into some business matters.
 After a discussion with a superin- tendent of branch company, John S. Williams" he said, "I decided to dis charge him and requested the keys of his office. It was then I was attacked by both Denegre and Woodward A tihrd man, l.. B. Morred. drew a knife and joined in the attack. The first two men having been summarily disposed of, however, Morred desisted. I believe that some kind of a plot had been matched between the discharged super intendent and his friends"
 John S. Denegre refused last night to make any statement about the affair

Although the weather man this win ter has been playing some annoying pranks on the Avondale zoo 'fans.' in- terest in the menagerie out along Red mountain has not waned and there is every indication that the first Sun day upon which there is at least some sunshine and warmth one of the big sest crowds in the history of the park will tender greetings at the informal spring opening of the animals.
 Quite a number of people Were out at the zoo yesterday in spite of tho raw weather and all who have seen the animals this spring remark in the improvements that are being made and which are contemplated at the zoo. To those who have kept in touch with the zoo since It's formation. the first little group Of animals and crude park benches seems a dream. While they admit there is much yet to be done before Birmingham has truly met rcpolitan zoo, the wonderful progress that has already been made .s fully appreciated by the friends of the big

MARTIN REAL HEAD ALABAMA POWER CO.
Much Interest Here in the Changes in Company's
 Official Organization

The announcement yesterday morning
 from Montgomery in regard to the changes in the personnel of officials for the Alabama Power company ere ated wide interest in Birmingham.
 While the industrial circle here was prepared for an announcement of changes, 1t was somewhat delayed and there was some surprise that the change was announced at this time. MT. Washburn, who retires as presi- dent, accepted the position only tenn porarily, it is said, and 1t is suggested that James Mitchell, who becomes presi- dent through the retirement of Mir Washburn will only serve during the preliminary stages of the company $ expansion.
 MT. Washburn is president of a large company in Buffalo belonging to sperl- ing x Co of London, and has spent little time in Birmingham. Mir Mitchell Is the active man in charge of the Sperl- ing investments and on the average visits London four times per year. It is suggested that under such circum- stances he cannot spend much time in Birmingham
 It is suggested that W. l.. Martin, vice president-elect and chief counsel, will be in active charge of the policies of the company from now on. He has been in charge of the legal department for sometime and knows the situation in this state rather we'll It has been reported for some weeks that a very warm political fight Is being Arranged for the company to handle and it is expected Mir. Martin will be more or less in direct charge of any developments. The announcement of expenditures for the company was onSy reiteration of what James Mitchell gave to The Age- Herald exclusively some weeks ago when he announced the plans of the company to improve the conditions at AttaIla and to provide electric power for Pell Ciry. Riverside and other small CT places between this city and Annis- ton
 It was stated yesterday that the company had not purchIsed the Gads- den Street Railway company and the announced programme did not refer to that operation.
