 of Walter Romans

Keenan, all legged leader of the directory" swindle worked in Birmingham under the name of the Inter-Southern Directory com pany. Godstein is expected to be in Florida for several days
 F. B. Blackburn and Morris Loveman. attorneys for Walter Romans. who is in the county jail here In connection with the directory case, yesterday issued d statement in which they asserted that The Age-Herald's account of the case in yesterdays issue was calculated to preju- dice the interests of their client. They made their complaint on the ground that the case was in the courts and that it was unfair to try it in advance in the news papers.
 The statement sets out that Romans mas never made confession of any kind. and that the officers know this to be a fact.
 The statement further says. "On the habeas corpus trial last week before Judge John H. Miller. after examining the states witnesses and after each one had stated that they had never seen our client or had any business transac- tons with him whatever and did not know him at all in connection with the alleged forgery charges. the learned judge reduced his bonds in each. case from $500 to $500
 The statement concludes with the as- sertion that the attorneys are ready and willing to meet the detectives working on these cases in trials in the courts before juries, but that they do not con- sider 1t right tt have them tried be- forehand in the newspapers.

 the Chicago Board of Commerce and he comes to Birmingham upon the invita- tion of Louie Reese of the Searight- Reese Furniture company, and Joe Loyeman of Loveman. Joseph & Loeb.
 MT. Hoag will prsent to the local furniture men an idea which has been tried in other cities which mears, in effect, that on small consignments the orders of local furniture men will be pooled and sent in the same car. thus effecting saving in freight charges and charges for packing for shipment.
 The orders will not leave Birming- ham jointly, under the plan. Each fur niture dealer will send his order with the understanding that 1t will be in- cluded in the first car consigned to Birmingham.
 MT. Hoags proposition must be agreed to in writing by the dealers affected and a paper of agreemen. must be signed by each firm entering into the movement to reduce freight charges. The idea originated in the or ganization of furniture men in Chicago, when the recent decision of the inter- state commerce commission to grant the per cent advance in rates to car riers became effective.
