RAIN--MAYBE

Prospects fo rrain, and steady rain at that. were termed fair by E. C. Horton, skipper of the weather forecasting craft anchor ed on Fountain Heights, when he held converse on the subject last night.
 "Tomorrow we many have rain and again we may not he said. Gulf storms kicking around the west gulf may jump through the valley states. If they do, B:r- mingham will probably be re- lieved of some of it's heat by a rain which will continue for sew eral hours.
 Temperatures at present are mild. comparatively. and approx imately normal A general rain would cool off things consider ably.
 High humidity causes stiriSy heat and that is what we are con etnding with in Birmingham right now. Although tempera- lures are near normal, humidity is causing us to feel the heat more."

 Speaks of Aid
 II Jacobs, who has recently returned rom wichita Falls, Texas. He spoke on the oil situation in that state. declaring the business, like every other businesses, had suffered as ., result of the depression. He stated that millions of dollars were spent during the recent oil boom and wh.lS many people became rich over night large number failed to make any money at all. This, in his opinion, was due to the manner in which tho money was handled. Everyone seemed to have money to invest in oil stock at that time and did not stop to investigate the companj handling 1t. Many men who had never had any large amount of money to spend found themselves with si,000,000 or sb00,000 to spend and much of 1t was .arelessly ard recklessN spent.
 There will be a revival of the oil business in the future, said Mr. Jacobs, and those companies which are able to meet present conditions and adjust their businesses will make money when the time comes.
 In speaking of Wichita Falls, Mir Jacobs said this was town of 5000 or 1s,000 people before the oil rush anu uuIiilS thc tiIHe oI tne OH DoODl there were 75,000 people there. Even now the population is 10000 and many paved streets have been built, stores, offices and hotels that com pare favorably. with any in the couu- try, have beens erected. Everything there is modern and this is not dead city, as one would ima zine af- ter the rush, he said
 The club indorsed the work of the relief committee in assisting the des- titute families and the unemployed and pledged their support in assist ing in raising funds with which to care for them. Dr. Percy Woodall was appointed chairman of the com mittee for the Rotary club and will select the members of his commit tee immediately and take the field in the interest of this campaign.

HOTEL NAN SHGGTS SHOOTS
HIMSELF TO DEATH
Former Manager of Rocky
Mount Hotel Kills Himself
in Richmond. Domestic Trou-
bles Believed Cause.

Rocky Mount, March 1O.-Infor-
nation has reached this city that Ed
ward T. King, formerly manager of
the Kicks Hotel, ended his own life
by shooting himself through the
head, the deed having been commit
ted in Baltimore some time during
the later part of last month.
King, it will be recalled, left this
city after embezzlement charges had
been prepared against him by the
owner of the local hotel. Unable to
secure bond he remained in Jail at
Nashville for a time, but finally
reached a settlement out of court and
returned to his home in the Maryland
city.
So far as can be learned, his sui
eide came as the result Of domestic
troubles. 1t is understood that he had
some trouble with his father-in-law
in Baltimore and was at the latter's
home when the trouble broke. The
father-in-law is reported co have
brought about his arrest and an Of
ficer had him in custody in front of
the home when he fired the fatal shot,
according to reports. Reports here
state that while the officer was using
a telephone to call a patrol, Mr.. King
whipped a pistol from his pocket and
fired point blank into his head be-
fore the officer was aware of what
he was doing. Death is said to have
followed instantly.

Such reduction, if made, will be
handled individually by the various

present announcements in pay for
unskilled labor now are being made
it is said with no attempts at con-
certed or simultaneous action by the
railroads.
In line with this policy it became
known the association in a meeting

of the meeting was that a reduc-
ton in the pay of skilled labor was
not considered Objectionable.
The matter was then referred to
