SLAYER KILLING IS BELIEVED A HOLD-UP
Coroner Releases Mrs. Vliet After Examination Held
 Yesterday

Developments in the shooting oi O. l.. Shafer. an employe of the Southeastern Express company, near the corner of Seventh avenue and Twenty fourth street. north. shortly before 1 o'clock yesterday morning, were practically at a standstiu last night, following a day of extended investigation by the police.
 Mrs. Charlotte vliet. of 716 Twenty third street, north. who was arrested by the police immediately following the shooting was releas- ed by Coroner J. D Russum yester- day afternoon following his inves- tigation of the affair.
 Mystery surrounding the shooting of Shafer is still unsolved. Investi- gating officers stated after the shooting occurred that he was sho; four times in different parts of the body. When the body was being prepared for burial at the Johns Undertaking company it was found that he had only been hit twice, but two other bullets had made holes in his clothing, yet had not struck his body
 Several theories first advanced by the police as to the cause of the shooting have now been discounted and they are working on the possib', lity of robbery being the motive for the crime. Several witnesses st,il claim they saw two men on the op- posite side of the street firing at Shafer who was hiding behind a tele- phone post. They said more thau half a dozen shots were fired. Sha- fer also fired four shots from his pistol.
 The police believe now that there only hope of clearing up the mystery lies in the possibility of arresting the two men who were seen on the other side of the street while the shooting was going on and who are believed to have been the ones wno shot Shefer. They have only .. slight description of either of them and pa- lice officials admitted last night that the chances of their arrest were slim.
 The body of Shafer will be sent to Lilburn, Ga, at g o'clock this morning by Johns for burial The deceased was 27 years old. He was a widower. He had lived in Bir- mingham only a short time and resi- ded with his brother, NJ B. Shafer at 2714 avenue F. south.

THE LONGEST DAY

Officially yesterday was the bt ginning of summer, and also the longest day of the year.
 But the mercury on the offi- cial first day of summer at the hottest period only registered 90 degrees in the shade. while one day in the early par. of last week the mercury lacked only a fraction of degree of going to 97 in the shade.
 E. c. Horton. local weather ob- server. received notice from Washington yesterday that June 21 was the beginning of summer, but his charts and records of the past month showed him that real summer had been in and with Birmingham for more than a month
 As far as rain is concerned for Birmingham. the man is doubt-' . full. He says it may rain. but that still there are mighty good chances for another long drought record to be made. and he can see no probability of any rain here for the next 24 hours.

NEGRO KILLED BY
 SPECIAL AGENTS

Unsuitable homicide is the verdict returned by Coroner J. D. Russum yesterday afternoon following an Investigation into the death of George Davis, negro, who was shot and killed by Special Agents Jones and Griffin at Brookside early yesterday morning when he refused to stop and surrender himself after having entered house occupied by three white women.
 According to the investigation of the coroner the negro entered a house occupied by the women just a short distance from Brookside. He undressed on the back porch and entered the house clad only in his underclothes. The women screamed and the negro ran out the back door.
 Jones and Griffin, special agents, were near by and heard the screams of the women. They aw the negro running away and called to him to halt but he kept running and finally jumped into ditch. When the officers came up the negro had drawn a knife and was preparing to fight. He was shot twice by the officers and died almost instantly.

 Edmund Armes. president of the Community club; T think the mak. ing of paper from Alabama spruce pine is an epoch making achieve ment.

 Judge Hugh A. Locke, president of the Exchange cIup anG vice president of the Civic Association. Recently l spent few days on the Warrior river and had occasion to ride in a motor boat from Salters camp near Maxine to Birmingport. While not an experienced lumber man and knowing but little about the matter, the un- usual amount of pine and the density of the forest attracted my attention and it is certainly being made little use of at the present time. The deNel- opment of any industry that would utilize this vast supply of spruce pine would be of great value to this section of the country and city. The management of The Age Herald in this matter deserves the praise ana support of all Birming ham and Ala bama people,"

one Single stroke

"I am a native of thls section said Walter Moore. coal operator, "and since early young manhood have participated in the development of the coal industry in this and ad- joining counties. Edward w. Bar rett, in demonstrating the suitabil- ity of Alabama spruce pine for newsprint, has blazed the way to q new industry the same as others have blazed the path of iron, steel and coal.
 But MT Barrett mas done in one stroke what it required several gene. ra tions to accomplish in other pio- neer work. because he followed the pine tree to it's conversion into news print and then showed the news print in It's finished expression. It is an achievement and Alabama IS to be congratulated on what Mir Barret. has done for it.
 pr. Aston Pitts. Tuscaloosa, pro- lessor of hygiene at the Universit. of Alabama 'The printing of Mon days Age-Herald on paper made from Alabama spruce was certainly a wonderful step forward. If we can get a paper mill on the Warrior It will mean great things for this entire section"
 Governor Emmet O'Neal Mon days Age Herald was really sur prise to me I had thought that "a the raw materials from which paper might be made had been tried, and The Age Herald's demonstration was something new
 Postmaster R. B. Smyer: "A paper mill would mean great deal for this country, and The Age Herald has pointed out the possibility of one. It demonstrated something that we did not know. Mir. Barrett deserves great deal of credit for his success ful experiment.

 MT Barretts showing of thls spruce pine as fit for newsprint pa per manufacture was convincing. One could not get away from 1t. | could not help seeing the mills actu- ally in operation on the Warrior and 1 believe they will be located there in the near future. It means new business in Alabama and 8 new pro duet for the markets served by this state The showing left nothing t5 be desired. It was beyond attack

 Reai Estate board. "The paper made from Alabama spruce pine was very good. and | think it was a fine eff fort of Mir. Barrett's to attempt the manufacture of paper from Alabama pine. l sincerely hope he can make a big thing of it. He is to be con- graduated for his progressiveness read the entire article regarding this development with more than usual interest and believe it vii mean much to this district"
 Dr. Courtney W. Shropshire, presi- dent of International Civitan: "I think the idea conveiVed hS Mir. Bar rett for making paper out of Ala bama spruce pine is a splendid one and will mean great things in the development of this district. I wish to extend my congratulations to The Age Herald and Mir. Barrett in using paper made frcm Alabama pine"
 Morris w Bush president of the Imperial Coal and Coke company: Tt was with interest that I read the article in The Age-Herald regarc- ing the manufacture of paper from Alabama spruce pine, It is indeed an achievement and The Age Herald IS to be congratulated on it's efforts to develop an industry entirely new to this state"
 Final Proof
 MT. Barrett's demonstration or Alabama spruce pine as suited for the manufacture of high grade news print has opened up new field said Hugh Morrow, vicepresident of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company. And it is big and broad field because apparently there wise unserviceable product of our forest
 NO greater service can be done 8 state than to point our natural resource and the perfect service .s not only to point out raw material but to prove 1t beyond cavil.
 There is no end to the possbili ties that attend Mir. Barretts demon stration. It was so practical and compelling that 1t should bear early fruit"
 It was a fine stroke of real en- terprise" said Henry l.. Badham, coal operator, referring to the Age Heralds appearance on newsprint made out of Alabama spruce pine. The completeness of the demonstra- tion is what makes it so flawless. Mir. Barrett followed the raw mater ial to the boats and cars, then to the factory then to the printing press and finally made proof in the Mon day Age-Herald.
 We had heard much loose talk about this and that being good for newsprint, but talk is cheap. Mir.

Barrett made an ocular demonstra- ton and the kind that you cannot get away from. II Is going to fetch the results and they will be fully worth while"
 Sees the Mills
 The Age Heralds appearance In its Monday dress of Alabama spruce pine was revelation to me- sad NJ r. Messer, real estate and insur- ance. Tt made me glimpse big mills on the banks of the Warrior getting the wood on the spot aad shipping the finished product throughout tbe south and for export. Being so close to Birmingham we would be first to reap the benefit of a spruce pine paper mill.
 "Mr Barrett has accomplished in one showing what usually requires many slow, laborious and intermit- tent steps. He has proven Alabama spruce pine in one effort. 1 especial ly commend the completeness Of the showing. There remains no shadow of a doubt as to the adaptability of the spruce pine for newsprint of q high character, Capital is not go- ing to he slow to make use of this thorough demonstration,
