MYSTERY SURROUNDS
 AlRPLANE WRECKAGE
By Associated Press

New Orleans March 29.-Co nplete mystery surrounds the wreckage of a plane found partly submerged in a bayou near Empire, La, SO miles south of this city, by Joseph Hingle cn Mon day.
 A careful survey by local newspa- pers discloses the fact that all pri- vately owned and naval planes in this section are accounted for, and so far as can be determined none have been reported missing in the past.
 A closer examination of the wreck age today disclosed the fact that the engine and part of the wings of the plane are missing, but whether these are underneath the water or whether they have been removed has not yet been determined. owing to the inac- possibility of the spot where the plane was found and the difficulties incident been made to remove the wreckage from the water, nor has it been de- termined whether the craft is a sea- plane or an airplane.
 Many theories have been advanced in regard to the wreckage and the probable identity of the flyer who met with the accident. The one given most credence is that some passing plane fell into the water and the aviator was killed. Another is that the plane was used by whisky runners and that after the engine was re- moved, followoing some accident, the craft was abandoned.
 The only clue found so far was the name san Francisco" painted on a part of the wreckage

B|G LUMBER FIRE
 IN PERRY COUNTY
 ILLUMINES HEAVENS
Midnight Flames Destroy Saw mill and About 800,000 Feet of Lumber-LoSS
 Totals Thousands

Marion, March .-(Special. The sawmill. owned by J, Freeman Set ties at Felix, 13 miles southeast of Marion. and about SO0,Oo0 feet of lumber were destroyed by fire last midnight. The reflection of the great flames leaping into the air illumined the skies for miles and was plainly visible from this city
 The cause of the fire, it, Is stated, is as yet undetermined and if incen diarism is suspected, it has not been publicly announced. There was only a small amount of insurance on either mill or lumber The loss to- tals numerous thousands of dollars.
 Mir Settles is one of the largest land owners and progressive citizens of Perry county. He founded the village of Felix and was directly. all most entirely instrumental in the erection of the splendid school build ing just completed in that community. and it is stated, he just recently agreed to subscribe s200oO toward the completion ofa state highway through this county by way of Felix.
 Because of his generosity and genu- inc popularity, his loss is sincerely de- plored. Also. these facts reduce the probability that ineendiarism is re- sponsible for the fire.

City Council Considers Various Subjects Needing Attention, But All Cost Money.
 Mayor Suggests Bonds

Selma, March 29.--(Special. Mat ters vital to the future development of the city of Selma were discussed in a broad and constructive manner at the meeting of the city council last night
 The sewerage system, greater school facilities. park for Selma and the curtailing of unsightly billboards each received attention.
 To meet the increased expense of the improvements and expansion sug- gested Mayor w. B. Hall proposed a bond issue, to be provided for by the two-mill tax, that will automatically close in two years time, with the wii- ing out of the citys old bond issue hanging over from days of carpetbag rule.
 To the end that citizens may be in formed on the matter and become ac- quainted with the conditions which need rectifylng, if the health and prosperity of the city is to be main tained, Mayor Hall further suggested that a committee of five from the council be appointed to give special study to the matter, to talk with and inform citizens generally and to plan 1OT IHS' future uSNSiOpInenI or planS looking to the improvements of sewer age, schools and other vital matters through utilizing the two-mill tax.
 This would mean no additional tax ation on the people, he pointed out, but. instead of being applied to re- tiring the old city bonds, which mature within two years, the money could be used Cor civic improvements. Had the city sufficient funds, the purchase of the old warehouse property on the r1ver bank at the foot of Church stree. might be considered as a park and school site. The use of the two-mill tax for civic improvements would make possible such purchase, II was pointed out.
 The committee of five was named as follows: Couneilmen Burns, Smith. Treadwell, Phillips and President of the Council Rowell.
 On the sewerage question, Mayoc Hall came out strongly in favor of the city extending it's sewerage system to embrace north and east Selma

COOPERATION GETS
 F|RST-CLASS ROAD
Proper Progress Spirit Prevails at GadSden and Mile Stretch
 Is Constructed

Gadsden. March 29.-(Special.) As an example of the close cooperation between the street department head and the street committee of the city council, and as a monument to their judgment, the recently finished mile stretch of road on Walnut street is a fine example The road has been finished, and 1t is the opinion of those who have looked it over that it is one of the best and most permanent street put down here in many years.
 The story of it's building is well worth consideration inasmuch as the entire stretch was built for almost no cost outside of the teams and about 100 yards of slag. The decision was made some months ago to finish this work, as, the street was badly needed for in wet weather the people living in the rear of the steel plant were cut off from the city by water,
 The Birmingham Slag company had a pile of slag outside the grounds that it wanted to. dispose of and the ,city offered to take it from them and use it providing they could get it for tho hauling. This was agreed to and tha work on the street commenced With the slag a gift and the labor, convic; labor the cost of the street was little and today there is mile stretch that will last for some time.
 The street department has opened a road to it's new slag pile at the fur mace and it has completed work on the bridge near the furnace. The next work will be undertaken either on Fourth street, north, to the Southern depot or on Twelfth street to the Alabama City line
