CLARENCE KING IS FATALLY HURT IN
 AUTO ACCIDENT
Four Children InjuredWhen Auto Is Hurled Against Telegraph Pole One
 Dead, Another Critical

Clarence King. the 12-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. J. w. King, Of 2oS Eleventh court. west is dead, his little cousin, the daughter of MT. and Mrs George Busby of Graysville. is prob ably fatally injured and Walter Frank lin King, Dorothy King. aged 10. pain fully hurt as the result of an auto mobile crash yesterday morning at s o'clock
 The accident happened at Eighth avenue and Sixteenth street and the automobiles that collided were Ford driven by George King. the eldest son of MT. and Mrs. King. and Dodge car, driven by L. M. Grimes. of Grimes Brothers. who resides at S23 Twentieth street, south.
 The automobile which was loaded with five light-hearted children was hurled into a telephone pole and turned over, pinning the little victims under heath. These were Clarence King and Lulu Busby, both sustaining fractured skulls. Authorities at the Birmingham infirmary last night stated that hopes were held for the recovery of the little girl, owing to the fact that her skull was not fractured at the base of the brain, as was that of the little boy.
 There seems to be difference of opinion as to how the accident hap pened Several witnesses stated to the police that the car containing the chil- dren was being driven east on Eighth avenue and that while they were turn ing the curve at the corner of the street, the Dodge car, which was com ing down Sixteenth street, started to turn in an opposite direction, and that the rear wheels skidded, causing the Dodge to crash into the Ford, hurting it against a telephone post, nearby.
 On the other hand, Grimes claims that he had started to turn the curve when the King car ran into his a1- tomobile, causing the accident The drivers of both cars were arrested on charge of reckless driving by Offi- cers Moreland. Crump and Clements, who investigated.
 When the crash came. screams of terror were sent up by the children as well as a large crowd of persons. composed mostly of housewives of the neighhorhood. who were cleaning up at their homes. One woman is said to have tainted. when she reached the scene.
 Shaw's ambulance was summoned and the children were rushed to the Birmingham infirmary, where Clarence King died at 11:30 last night and the other child is in critical condition.
