Judge Aston Informed Them That Court Would Not Wait Longer Than 10 O'Clock
ONE JUROR SENDS OUT FOR SOME CLEAN
 SHIRTS AND COLLARS
Hard Fought Case Given to Them at 11:40 Yester- day Morning-Short Time Taken for Lunch

The case of the state against Louis Walton, charged with the murder of M. o. Barton, went to the jury yesterday morning at 11:5o. and at late hour last night no report as to a verdict had been received from that body. Before mid- night it was stated that the jury had re- tired for the night in their apartment at the Jefferson hotel, and that no verdict would be reached, at least, before some time today.
 County Solicitor Hugo l.. Black made the closing speech for the state yester- day morning at the opening of court, and the charge of the court to the jury was finished by 11:40. The loss of con- tract and other papers caused delay of about 40 minutes during the closing speech of the state.
 It was the general belief of the court attendants that an early verdict would be reached. The jury remained out of the room at noon only long enough to lunch and returned immediately. At 345 yesterday afternoon c. E. Holcombe, one of the jurors, slipped a note under the door, asking Judge Aston to call his wife and have her send clean collars, a shirt and some handkerchiefs to the hotel.
 It is understood that Judge Aston in- formed the jury that he would wait up for the verdict until 10 o'clock, but ia the event they had reached no decision by that time they would be held over
 The Walton case has proven a keen battle between the state and the defense The entire argument of the state was based on the insurance feature of the case and the defense endeavoring to bring up as rebuttal character witnesses

CLEVE::LAN AUTO INDUSTRY GROWING Walker Company Moves Plant From Detroit to
 Work on Chandler

Dispatches from Cleveland tell of a great growth of that city's automobile industry, which for a long time has been g strong second among America's pro- duclng centers. The several Cleveland manufacturers are not only enjoying big business, both in the line of pleasure cars and trucks, but there is rapid develop ment of allied industries.
 Notable among the plants is the H. J. Walker company, which has removed it's entire equipment from Detroit into a big structure built for it on the grounds of the Chandler Motor Car company, build. CTS of the Chandler Six. The Walker shops handle much of the Chandler com Eany's machinery and this work alone keeps the big shop busy day and night.
 A plant for the Briggs Manufacturing company of Detroit is also being erected on a site adjoining the Chandler factory. In this plant the Briggs company will paint and upholster the 2o000 bodies called for in this years Chandler production.
 The great plant of the Willard Storage Battery company also adjoins the Cham dler pant. ss
 The Chandler factory has been doubled in capacity for this years production of the famous six.

Thinks Whole City Will Be Behind the Commission in
 Consummating Project
RARE OPPORTUNITY
 FOR NEW STRUCTURE
Present City Hall Not FireprOOf and Fire Alarm Apparatus Is in Constant Jeopardy as
 Now Located

That it is clearly up to the city com
 mission to accept the proposition of the Roden estate and cornplete the con
 at the corner of Seventeenth street and Fifth avenue, north, into an auditorium
 and city hall building was the opinion
 expressed by Robert Jemison, Jr., yes terday afternoon.
 MT. Jemison further stated that he had no doubt the public fully under stood and approved of the proposition and that it was the commission which clearly stood in the way at the present time.
 The Roden hotel proposition ap-
 pears to me-" said Nh. Jemison, "as
 the best deal the city commission could possibly consummate whereby it could obtain by lease at moderate rental such
 valuable property. It also presents the
 best possible means of finishing the construction of building whereby a library, auditorium ana offices for the
 municipal government could be com bined. It fact the proposition is at- tractive from all angles.
 We need an auditorium very badly. We are losing money and opportunities daily by the lack of an auditorium and the city commission should rise to the situation at the present time. I am positive an offer such as the Roden heirs have made to the ely will not be duplicated from any other source and it is clearly very advantageous to Bir-
 minghaLN
 ''As to the present city, hall, everyone knows that it is not a hreprOof build ing. The fire alram apparatus is in con- stant danger in such building, while
 the acceptance of the Troden hotel for
 combined city hall, library and audi torium would mean the construction of fireproof structure in which all the civic records would be safe at all times.
 Incidentally the abandonment of the old city hall would greatly improve property at Nineteenth street and Fourth avenue, north. With little out lay of money the present city hall can I be transformed into a mercantile build 1 ing that would bring more than enough i rental to pay for the leasing of the Roden property. Then again the re-
 moval of the city hall to tho Redcn i hotel site would increase the value l of property in that section of the city. 1 'As to the public, I am positive they clearly understand me proposition. With the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary club and other various civic organizations getting actively behind the idea it's consummation would be welcomed on every hand In fact it l is up to the city commission to accept the best proposition that has yet come I up before them to provide civic audi ! torium-for the people are clearly in favor of the idea"

MANY INQUIRIES
 ON EXHIBIT PLAN Birmingham's Institution Is Now Attracting Attention
 All Over the Country

Manager Edmondson of the Birming- ham Manufacturers Permanent Exhibit association displayed letters yesterday from civic organizations in four other American cities inquiring for data con- corning the local institution.

M. Acuff, acting secretary the Louisville Commercial club. Louisville. Ky, and another from former citizen of Birmingham, Frank 1T. Bell, in be- half of an organization forming in Kan sas City, Mo, for the establishment of permanent display of home products.
 All of these letters have been received this week and all contained a polite in- quiry as to the method of establishing. securing proper cooperation and main taining the local exhibits Mr Edmond son has replied promptly with detailed information requested and inclosed sev- eral of his cleverest advertising pieces for the local show. It is gratifying to know that these inquiries have been prompted solely by descriptions fur nished by visiting strangers who have viewed the Birmingham exhibits and spread the news of their beauty and thoroughness in other centers.
 There are only seven or eight of such permanent exhibits in the United States They are located at New Haven, Rich mend, Chattanooga. Nashville Birming- lam. Dallas, Fort Worth and Louisville The Birmingham show has the call for attractiveness and effectiveness, it is said by those who have seen all of them. The visitors register at the local ex- hibits shows daily registration from all parts of the country. The local people are awakening to it's importance and i'm viting strangers to see the permanent displays if they really want to know Bir- mingham

New York Exports

New York, March 11.-Exports from the port of New York this month aver age about $55.0oO,OoO weekly, as com pared with s3S.oO0,OOO in February and $51, 100000 in January and December, according to statistics issued today by the foreign trade department of the National City bank The increase is said to be remarkable in view of the fact that the scarcity of vessel space on the Atlantic coast has led many shippers to the Orient to send their goods by rail to the Pacific for ship ment from western ports. These ship ments. while intended for export, are no longer included in the export state ments of the port of New York

PAPER SHORTAGE.

That the war in Europe may mater
tally increase the price Of newspapers,
magazines and periodicals. was the be-
lief expressed at meeting Of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Inland Daily
Press association held last week in
Chicago.
The meeting was called to devise
ways and means of meeting the short
age in paper stock and a resolution
was adopted urging the strictest econ
omy in the use Of paper. It was said
that in two cities Of 10000 population,
and in smaller cities, several daily
newspapers had not issued because Of
the shortage. It was reported that
many newspapers were on the verge
Of shutting down completely or issu-
ing smaller editions.

Watch This Space !!
Minot Soon to Have Another Factory.

MlnOt Soon TO have announcer Factory.
Minot will probably have a tent and
awning factory. G. D. Shaft, who has
had considerable experience in this
line, is organizing a stock company
for this purpose. Materials and ma
chimes will soon be here, catalogues,
calendars and stationery will, in the
near future, be circulating turnout
this northwest territory, informing
the people far and near, that Minot
can furnish them, cheaply and quick
ly, with anything in canvas, from a
duck boat to circus tent. II
And so the wheels Of Minot's PRO
gress turn. Who will be the next to
discover that Minot offers unequalled
territory and opportunity for the
wholesaler, jobber and manufacturer,
no matter what their commodity may
be?
Mr.. Shaft will continue in the real
estate business, the new business be-
ing handled by others, with his assis-
lance at times.
