PROBING DAVIS BROS.
MURDER FURTHER
Differences Between Them and Be6ell,
Who Committed Suicide. Is Es-
tabIished-Finger Prints Fail

OXFORD. y. H.. Dec. THE suicide
of Frederick &. Bedell who, after he had
been questioned regarding the killing of
the aged brothers, John and Charles
Davis, here a month ago. took poison
and then shot himself. stimulated further
the investigation of the Davis murders
today. Bedell. up to the moment of his
death in hospital at Hanover last
night, protested that he was innocent of
any connection with the Davis case
Differences between the Davises and
Bedell, who was their neighbor, were
made matters of further inquiry. The
finger prints of Bedell. taken at the in
quest that was resumed suddenly last
Saturday, We're compared with those
taken at the Davis home Bedells move
ments on Nov and s. the days on
which the Dayises are believed TO have
been killed with an axe found blood
stained besides the bodies in their little
shack, were being traced.
There was little hope in finger prin1
comparisons, officials said, those taken
from the axe at the Davis home being
blurred. The trouble between Bedel and
the brothers was established but the
authorities said they had found nothing

day, two days after his finger print.

circumstances we're suspicious, but

Of their own house. That there had bee
i feeling between Bedell and the Da
Uses was revealed in letters from Pres

men.
The investigation of the murders wa
directed by High Sheriff Claude n
lurray, and he was assisted by Count,
Solicitor John Noonan, Deputy Sherii
Walter French and Detective James l.

These officials gradually sifted the inve>

Change Male to Female.

Changing male animal into a fe-
male has Geen accomplished. Male
nevis. fresh water animals that resem-
bic salamanders, have been placed on
a starvation diet one spring. fed well
the 9s&t, and then they have become
females. This has been discovered by
Christian Champy, French histologist.
He starved male nevis during the peri
cd CT their greatest sexual activity.
They acquired female characteristics,
such as co.oratiop end behavior. The
following spring the nevis were plenti-
fully supplied with food. and it was
found that their male internal organs
had charged ~ = fe7uale-like structure
which 2Cntained true egg cells. Nature
makes this startling transformation, 1t
is believed, because of her desire to
provide greater chances Of perpetual

MANY POISONOUS PLANTS.
Wy Often Blameless of Harm with
Which 1t Is Charged.

Although poison ivy is one of the
worst offenders it frequently is blamed
+ poisoning caused by other plants.
he department has a list of more than
100 of such plants that grow in this
country. and ii is probable that there
re others that may be poisonous to some
>erSons. Not all of these plants are
qually poisonous, but, too, there is
reat variation in the susceptibility of
serSonS.
Because some of these common plants
IRE used for ornament in the home is no
eas0n TO fear them. as most persons are
OF affected by them and in the great
ajOrity of cases the irritation of the
kin is mild. This would probably hold
rue of such plants as the tomato, gera-
uown to cause skin poisoning. Such
ANTS, though. as the nettles, are irri-
bting to most persons.
In the long list of plants having these
,xic properties are the following. which
e well known, but not all of them gem
ally known to be poisonous Aconite,
ilanthus, asparagus, catalpa, dog fen
n lady's slipper. wild carrot, hop. To-
ella, oleander. nightShade. ox-eye daisy.
4rSnip pokeweek, smartweed. primula.
Tttercup, poison elder or poison dog
God. bloodroot, MULLEN, cocklebur, and
% mustards.
The pollen of the Easter lily has been
1owR TO cause irritation of the skin.
ut this is probably as rare as poison
Ng by leaves of the geTanium or the ear
t. Some of these plants are poison
rs when taken internally. but the list
rs been made out on the basis OF being
ritating to the skin.

THE REALTOR NEWS

Merits of the Torrens system was the topic of a radio address by W. B. Leedy, Jr., the first of the week. number of those who heard his ad- dress took advantage of his sugges- ton that application be made for copy of a publication of the treasury department, federal farm loan bu- reau, dated April IS. 1918. which estt- mates that a saving of SSo0oo,ooo would result to the citizens of the United States If land transactions could be simplified as is provided by the Torrens system.
 Zoning was the subject of talk Thursday night by J. R. Rrockman. member of the Real Estate board, which was broadcasted by courtesy of the Alabama Power company. He presented the advantages that would accrue to the city if certain restric- lions are placed around the location of factories, shops and other indus tries of a special character.
 Members of the Real Estate beard at the last luncheon saw a demon stration of how telephone switcn- board works. In view of the fact that the telephone Is the realtors friend, the demonstration was a val uable one to them.
 Deals in business property during the past week have been slow. ai- though transactions are under way in at least one real estate office. Announcement was made that woman's clothing firm has taken long term lease on the building at 1908 Third avenue, which will be ai- terated and made ready for oeeu- pancy by September 1.

Records of building permits oh- tained at the city hall and warranty deeds filed at the court house reveal that Birmingham is now in the midst of a home building campaign. A record number of about 200 deeds recording sales of home building lots for $500 to s2,000 each have been filed during the week while records of building permits for the first seven months of the year as recorded in The Age Herald reveal that s42 permits for frame residences have been granted this year.
 The housing shortage which was the hue and cry of few months ago. Is no longer heard A number of the houses being built are said to be by persons who are now renters. Fifty per cent of the permits were for houses to cost $1,S00 or less, while about 35 per cent were for houses costing from $2.ooo to s5,00p. The remainder were for more ex- pensive residences. mostly brick. Lower prices for lumber and labor have given impetus to the building campaign.
 Interest among realtors Is center ing on the mass meeting to be held at the Chamber of Commerce build ing on Monday night. August 14. when Torrens league will be formed to "put over" the system for simplifying land titles Much in- terest has been aroused in the new system, which has been successfully tried and Is highly recommended by leading real estate men of the whole country.

mining throughout the United States. in the opinion of officials here. All the other union coal district in the United States. except the anthracite field, wait upon the signing Of contract In the central competitive field. The union fields outside C. the four states nameS a~e character izcd. in the trade as the outlying dis tricts and 1t has been the custom for years for them to base their wage scales upon the contract signed be- tween miners and operators in ie central competitive field.
 Should such a contract be signed at Cleveleud even though only small proportion of the central com petitive field operators sign 1t, the miners could regard 1t as the basic agreement for that field and there after open negotiations with opera tors in the outlying districts. There have been TO such negotiations since April l. Outlying districts have been baked from making a wage agree meut almost wholly becausee there was no basic contract upon which to negotiate. With that difficulty removed the way would be open to resume mining elsewhere
 Will Split Operators
 If Lewis succeeds in making
 
 ceed also in creating q division in the operators ranks which may re- suit in considerable confusion for a time in the industry. Heretofore the operators in the central competitive field have acted as a unit. When their forces divide a new state of affairs will be brought about. the result of which can not be foreseen.
 Resumption of coal mining at the rate of 100000 tons weekly in Ohio, Indiana, Il inofs and western, Penn sylvania, with the prospect of fur ther resumption in the outlying dis tricts, will accomplish much in re- lieving business generally trom ths check which is at present plainly T1anifest because of the coa. short ge. The past week has witnessed still another further curtailment of almost depleted cot, stocks with the ow- w-down becoming more widely spread among the chief if drstries. More iron and steel plants have closed down. moro trains haze been dscontinued; mere utilitiss ago other important consumers have felt the iinch and the price of coal has con tinued to rise.
 For the pre- evious week. that ending 1Ily 22, however, carloadings or AiSAbht NVhtiHbNu to AlSes IcathAtb the grand total of S61,124 cars. In making public the figures. the As- sociation of Railway Executives says:
 Despite the railway strike, the total loading of all commodities other than coal was the heaviest for this season of the year of any in the his- tory Of the railroads. and was within nine-tenths of 1 per cent of the peak of October l., 1920"
 Observers here. however. believe that the total loadngs for subse- quent weeks will fall below this high level, due wholly to the coal and rail strikes and that when those causes are removed loadings will in- crease rapidly.
