 According to information, Limbaugh was going north on Eighteenth street and after waiting several minutes for a passenger train to pass, stepped into the path of the switch engine which was backing out of the L. & N. shed. He evidently did not hear or see the ap- preaching engine, 1t is said, owing to the dim lights in that vicinity.

 The engine was in charge of Engineer J. E. Moler and was engaged in switch ing freight cars from one track to an other.

James c. Puckett will represent the supervisory employees at the local post office and W. O. Vickery. the local clerks, in doing honor to the memory of Sena- tor Bankhead, who was one of the best briends they ever had in either branch of Congress
 A large number Of Birmingham men will make the trip to Jasper to attend the funeral and reports from other parts Of the state indicate that almost every locality will be represented by one or n-ore persons
 In his half century of political &C., tivity in Alabama Senator Bankhead made thousands of warm personal as well as political, friends and all of these who can possibly do so will be at the funeral.
 Speculation as to the probable success sor of Senator Bankhead continued yes terday. One more probable entry in the list for the interim appointment appeared in the person of James Weatherly of Bir- mingham whose friends exhibited con siderable activity in his behalf MT Weatherly was an ardent supporter of Governor Kilby. made a number of speeches in joint debate and otherwise over the state prior to the primary elec- tion in 1918 in support of the ratification of the federal constitutional prohibition amendment and during the session of SDG- eial assistant attorney general assigned | as personal counsel to the governor. In , this capacity he passed upon the form and validity. of all bills passed by the l legislature and advised Governor Kilby as to their constitutiona'ity and effect l Rumors were afloat in Birmingham yes- terday to the effect that Governor Kiib'' had indicated that he would appoint Fred Thompson, publisher of the Mobile Reg ister, as Senator Bankheads successor
 to serve until the special election, which the governor will call for some time short ly after the May primaries, it being as- sumed that the special election will not be held until after the primaries. MT, Thompson has been a consistent supporter of Governor Kilby and through his Mobile paper advocated the adoption by the leg islature of the administration programme including the general revenue bill.
