TOO MUCH SPEED
CAUSE OF DEATH

Joe Nora, an Austrian about 30
years old, was killed Tuesday evening
when the gasoline speeder on the
Verde Tunnel & Smelter railroad got
beyond his control Nora either
jumped or was hurled to his death.
The first intimation of an accident
came when the speeder shot by the
United Verde crushing plant, without
a driver, jumped the track and turned
over and over for at least $50 feet.
Men started back along the track and
found Nora's body. His head had
struck rail and his skull was crush
ed 1t is presumed that Nora became
frightened at the speed attained by
the machine and jumped for safety
He may have found himself unable to
shut off the power but that is not
likely.--Jerome News.

Yuma cotton gin was discovered in
flames and before fire appliances were
available had made too much head
way to be checked. 1t was first seen
burning at the roof, and situated at

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Nov. 10,
1916.-Beef cattle sold rs to so higher
last week, stockers and feeders barely
steady. Today the run of thirty
thousand cattle would have sold
steady to strong, except that Chicago
had $4,000 cattle, ten thousand above
the estimate, and 10 to rs cents lower
prices. Prices here were mostly
steady, worst sales 10 lower, stockers
and feeders same. Hogs sold steady
to 10 higher, sheep steady.
Beef Cattle Steady
Kansas fed branded yearlings sold
at $10.75, the best cattle here, but
strictly prime heavy steers would go
to $11.50. Short fed steers sell at
$3.50 to S9.75, Oklahoma grass beef
steers, 1850 lbs, at $50, same cattle
$3.50 week ago, light weight Colo
RADIO beef steers, 900 to 1000 lbs, at
$3.50 to SITS, some caked Panhandle
steers $S.25. Local packers are ship
ping cows and Gamers to their plants
here bought at St. Louis and st. Paul,
because of scarcity here. She stuff is
fully steady today, Gamers $4.40 to
So, panhandle grass cows $5.75 to
$3.50, Colorado cows $500 to 81, fed
cows up to $3.50.
StOckers and Feeders
Packers bought fieshy feeders at a
premium last week. They divided
five car shipment of good Kansas
short fed steers with an Illinois feed
er buyer, each lot selling at $685..
Thin feeders and stock cattle sold Is
to 25 lower for the week. Ten cars
of Panhandle yearlings sold today at
$3.50, same cattle S7.40 last Monday.
Other Panhandles sold at 81 to SIPS,
and choice bred Colorado two year
olds SITS. Medium stockers and
feeders bring 1925 to 81, common
stock steers SIS to Sc.
Hogs Make Big Advance
Hogs advanced 40 to so cents first
of last week, but lost small part of
it at the finish. The market opened
steady today, with 1000 head here,
but good demand from order buyers
soon advanced prices 10 cents, top
$1,000, medium weights up to $9.95,
fights $500. The market has strong
foundation, and there is not much ex-
cuse for lower prices at this time.
Average weights are light, indicating
that good prices and feed scarcity are
influencing too many shippers to
market prematurely. Most of the
hogs coming could be fed 80 days
longer profitably.
Sheep and Lambs Still Strong
Receipts of $500 contained only a
few good to choice lambs or sheep.
Light receipts here enable sellers to
secure strong prices regardless of
lower reports elsewhere. Market here
was steady to higher today, while
Chicago reported decline of 10 to Is
cents. Best lambs here sold at s11.50
to $11.75 and fat ewes sold at $3.50.
A feature last week was prime Kan
sas fed western lambs weighing "a
lbs at s11.75, top for the week. Feed
ing lambs are scarce, at $3.50 to
$1025.

 Closed Last Night

The most successful Baptist Training school held in Birmingham closed with Friday afternoon and night sessions.
 Various members of the faculty ex- pressed appreciation of the work done and spoke of the great possibilities of work of this kind.
 Dr. P. E. Burroughs left Birmingham last night for Louisville and L. P. Lea we'll for Nashville, Both of these work CTS have won the hearts of Birmingham by faithful work and service The thanks of the committee were extended to the Birmingham papers for their hearty CO., operation. Words of appreciation were expressed for the great service rendered by denominational leaders and others
 MT. Leavell delivered the closing ad- dress and reached beautiful climax in ar appeal for the best to be given in ser vice to God
 In his final address Dr. C. Ross Baker took for his subject The Holy Spirit" He said in part:
 ''The call today is the call of the ages: It is for men panoplied with the power of God. It is the hope of the kingdom of God on earth. One of the sins of Christendom is it's weakness. Every one of you may be spiritual giants. Clean- cut, holy living is the price of power and the need of the hour. God has but one means of passing on the work of saliva ton and that, the divine side of a human Christian. When you hear men talking about their faith in the Word of God. you want to find the measure of their lives from Monday morning until Sun day night. We shall be imbued with power as we pray for and obey the di- vine impression of that poWer"

TUSCALOOSA WILL HAVE GREAT TIME
 CENTENNIAL WEEK
Garner Says Plans Are Be ing Made for the Celebra- tiOn on a Most ElabOr-
 ate Scale

The annual commencement of the University of Alabama will be com bined with the centennial celebration of the city of Tuscaloosa, and one of the most significant events in the his that time.
 Tom Garner of Tuscaloosa, former editor of the Tuscaloosa Times Ga zette, secretary of the University alumni and member of the executive committee of the Tuscaloosa centennial, was in Birmingham last night on busi- ness connected with the celebration. The exact dates for the centennial will be decided at a meeting in Tuscaloosa Tuesday night, but it has already been definitely settled to have the affair during commencement week May 29, 30 and 31 have been tentatively se- lected
 In discussing the matter last night MT. Garner said "Tuscaloosa is going to celebrate it's centennial in mag nificent style. Elaborate plans are be- ing made for the event and it is high ly probable that one of the leading pagent men in Amerca will stage the affair. Of course there will be banquets and other similar attractions during the three days of the celebration, bur the pageant, which will portray the his tory of Tuscaloosa, one of the oldest and certainly one of the most interest ing cities in Alabama, will be the chief feature. We have definitely decided to hold this event in connection with the university commencement and that in stitution and the city of Tuscaloosa are cooperating to make this a most memorable affair
 "A number of class reunions are to and there can be no doubt that the com ing commencement will be by far the greatest in the history of the institu- tion. The reunions include all classes whose year of graduation ends in 6 or 1. Meetings of the alumni all over the state are being arranged to create interest in the affair, and one of the most important of these meetings will be held in Birmingham next Friday, at which a number of the leading alumni will be present. A committee from Tus- caloosa recently attended the big cen tennial celebration at Vincennes, Ind and secured many valuable ideas there The entire city of Tuscaloosa, the uni verSity and the almuni are working hard on this proposition and it can be safely asserted that it will be an important occasion in the history ol Alabama

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Improving Water Routes
To the Editor of The Age-Herald

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 At the request of MT. Edward N. Hor- ton of this city I am writing you.
 The Birmingham Age-Herald of Jan- uary IA, 1916, contained an editorial head ed, Prompt Decisions Urged,'' showing that a union from the city of Birming- ham to the Warrior river is under con sideration, but only by means of high way or railroad.
 MT Horton tells me that your city plans to connect Birmingham with the Warrior rived by a canal. proposition which I am sure is feasible, desirable and certain sooner or later to come.
 The Mobile Item of January 13, 1916 on page ?, republished a correspondence be- tween your Senator Bankhead and my self with regard to Mobile as being the only suitable location in the United States for naval base. The senator agreed with me at that time and urged the writer's conclusions upon the then Secretary of the Navy, Won Meyer
 The arguments upon which my conclu- sions were based are contained in the enclosed leaf1et published by the Mobile commercial club. which is reprint of ny tQltOTldl III tIe oIllOillSt, WHICH dp- peared inthat paper on April 14 1911.
 In my correspondence with Senator Bankhead, supplementary to this leaflet, I called attention to the fact that the present depth of water over the outer bar of Mobile is 30 feet which had been obtained a an expense of, l think, $75, 900, as an increase from a previous depth of 25 feet, made several years ago and con- tinued ever since without additional ex- pense.
 I called attention to the fact that this depth can be increased easily to 40 feet at very little expense and that depth is the depth required by dreadnaughts.
 Mir. Horton suggested to me, and I think his suggestion a good one, that the excavation of your canal from Birming- ham to the Warrior river would involve the removal of immense amounts of rock. This rock could be profitably used in con- nection with the work of deepening the mouth of the bay of Mobile from 90 feet to 40 feet, because that work would un- doubtedly require a very considera bIe amount of rip rap for the purpose of forming jetties for the channel. In this way, material which could otherwise be valueless and a source of expense to you, would be absolutely source of profit The stone could be easily transported by barges down the Warrior river and the Bigbee and Mobile rivers and the bay of Mobile right down to the point of con struction
 The above explains why I write to you and I hope that if there is any merit in the suggestion you will give it due weight and the credit of it to Mir. Horton, who is also the originator of the project of connecting Birmingham with Atlanta by an al,-water route. which includes your proposed canal. Yours truly,
 FREDERICK G. BROMBERG.
