NORTHWEST ROADS TO AID
 BELIEF OF CAR SHORTAGE
Are to Put About 16,5o0 of Their Own
 Cars in Coal Carrying Service.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Railroads of the northwest have agreed to aid the campaign for relief of the country wide car shortage by putting about 16, 300 of their ore cars in the coal carrying service. This was announced here last night by the American Rail- way Associations conference commit tee on car efficiency. The ore cars will be used on the Chicago and Northwestern and the Soo lines and their immediate connections, releasing a large number of regular coal cars now in this territory for general com mercial use.
 During the day the committee an- houffced that all roads having on their lines more box cars than they them selves own had been ordered to move the excess, loaded or empty, toward lines which have fewer cars than they own. Within the past week orders for the return to their owners of coal and fruit cars have been issued.
 The committee made public state ment of box car locations on Novem- Der l, showing large excesses on some roads and deficiencies on others. The Pennsylvania headed the list of the former with 0,963 more cars than it owns; the Boston and Maine had an excess of 11,11S; Southern S,496; New Haven 7,520

Public Anxious for Investigation.

Much interest is being manifested in the outcome of the investigation that was started by Coroner Bill Tues day in regard to the dynamiting the wal lof the Jordan block Saturday af- ternoon. The suggestion of the coro- ner of getting an expert to tell his ideas on the amount of explosive used is greeted by many as being the best thing that has been done as yet in or der that the blame, if there was any. may be placed where it belongs
 It has been stated that the men who did the drilling of the holes in the wall in which the dynamite was placed were not keen about the work as they thought the wall would not stand much drilling. If this is the case, think many, it would seem that the wall could be either pushed or pulled over or at least a lesser amount of explosive used to do the work
 The funerals of the past two days. Giles Afford and Nelson Gilman, have made a great impression on the peo- pie of the misfortunes that WiIliu1an tic has suffered during November.

CONVICTED OF MURDER OF
 PROBATE JUDGE w. T. LAWLER
One of the Most Unusual Murder Gases
 In Alabama's Criminal Annals.

Huntsville, Ala. Nov 2s-David- D. Overton, a Huntsville attorney and a former clerk of the Madison county court, was convicted here yesterday of the murder of Probate Judge w. T. Lawler, a political opponent, and was sentenced to be hanged. The court set Jan. 12 for the execution but suspend ed it's order upon motion by the prisoners attorney for a new trial.
 Overton's conviction furnished the climax to one of the most unusual murder cases in Alabama's criminal cases. Lawler's body was found June IF, weighted down in the Tennessee river. Within few days Overton dis appeared and two of his political as- sociates, Shelby Peasants. a lawyer. and Robert Phillips. the county sher- if. committed suicide and left notes saying they could not bear the sus- picion aroused by Lawler's- death.
 Overton was arrested several weeks later in Tennessee and at his trial req vealed for the first time that he had killed Lawler. He pleaded self f-de- ferse, declaring Lawler had taken him to lonely road along the Tennessee river late at night and had attacked him after trying to effect an agree ment for cooperation to prevent the county grand jury for destroying both of us." The grand jury was investi- gating alleged frauds at the June cleo ton in which Lawler defeated Overton for judge.
 The prisoner said he had nothing to do with the disposition of Iawler's body but that Sheriff Phillips had told him it had been put out of the way. Testimony at the trial in no way con- nected Peasants with the tragedy.
 Overton received his sentence calm ly and when asked whether he had anything to say, replied:
 Nothing, except that am not guil- ty"
