 PROBE MURDER

Decatur, September 12.-(Special) Judge Robert Bricknell today called special session of the grand jury. for Saturday. September 14, to investigate the murder of Patrollman F. A. Bass of Decatur by WiM Lee Hamilton. the negro placed under arrest yesterday afternoon at Sheffield. It is expected that an indictment will be returned against the negro in short order, and that he will be tried at a special term of the circuit court.
 The trial of the negro is. to be hast ered in order to remove any danger of lynching. Hamilton is now in the Lau- dsrdale county Jail at Florence. where he will remain for safe keeping until the date of his trial. He is being held there at the request of Mayor James A. Nelson of Decatur and Sheriff Forman. who are anxious for the law to take it's course
 The negro, according to statement made to the arresting officers at Shelf field yesterday claims that Patrolman Bass accidently shot himself in the scuffle that ensued when the officer was attacked by Hamilton with razor. lie declared that he did not know of MT, Bass death and went back to work at his old job of firing at the Hattie furnace. where he worked three days before being found and apprehended.
 The rumor that the negro would be brought back overland in an auto last night brought hundreds of would be lynchers into town and many lined the Sheffield pike for miles to ket q glympso of the culprit.

NEW PHONE LINE
 SEEMS ASSURED
Florence Will Have Connec- tion With RogersviIle and
 Lexington Soon

F florence. September 12.-(Special. .)-Sat. lslactory telephone service between Flor. ence and Rogersville and Florence and AeNihston seems now to be assured. The need Tor such service has been keenly feit both by the citizens of Florence and both of the towns referred to. Each of the communities have several h,Indrea telephones which are owned by the sub scrlbers but there has never been any concerted action looking to a more sub- stantial and satisfactory line. The serv- ice has been very unsatisfactory and un- certain tn the past on account of poorlv constructed lines. 1t Is now proposed to construct to both of these points a first class metallic line with first-class switchboard equipment.
 A committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce has been working on the proposition and have succeeded in locat- ing the material for the lines, and the work will be rapidly pushed to comple- tion so that when the common battery system is installed at Florence, the new lines will be ready for operation This is a step in the right direction and will result in a much closer touch with these communities and the county seat. and will also mean more business for Flor ence.

The 3-mill tax bond issue will also be voted on. but will be separate ballot, the board of revenue ordering this cleo tion so that one set of election officers could hold both elections. If the S-mill tax carries, the rate Of taxation will not be increased, but the 5-mill levy now be- ing collected by the city will be so di- cided that the 3-mill tax will go for school purposes, giving an additional sum of s14000 or $l5.Ooo to be expended on school property.

This assessment does not include the public utilities in this end of the county which amounts to several millions of dollars, and is acered- tied to the Birmingham books. which if placed to the Bessemer end of the county would. 1t is estimated. bring the total assessment to about $25, ,000000.
