PINE LUMBER MARKET
 EFFECTED BY STRIKE

Tuscaloosa. July 22.-(special-)- The yellow pine lumber market is hard to judge at this time on account of condition of railroad transporta- tion.
 Most husiness that is placed is wanted immediately and inquiry is stronger than last week at this point both as to volume and prices
 The volume of business being ac- cepted is greater than production, or shipment. For the past two or three days shipments have practically stonped. All the railroads are hav- ing trouble furnishing cars and prac- tically no shipments will be made from this vicinity until there is set clement of the railroad strike.
 Russia was the first country in the world to employ wood paving for streets.

The Kansas court has laid down that principle. If the na- tional labor board had adhered to the basis of living wage in it's con troversy with the shopmen, this strike would never have occurred.
 But that water has gone under the bridge. The shopmen are out in just cause, but in an ill-timed strike, The cause of labor can win orly with public sentiment behind 1t. and to revert to brute force now would be a disastrous mistake"

SUICIDE THEORY
 MAY DEVELOP IN
 KILLING MYSTERY
(continued from rase one)


 was killed by bullet fired from a pistol which was held near his head This is established be the fact that no powder burns were found bu' that the hole in his right temple was inflicted by bullet which travelled no great distance When officers ar rived on the scene the pistol was in hia hand. One thing Is certain, more , information has been obtained re- garding the affair than officers have been willing to give to the public.
 Difny Investigates
 Coroner J. J. Diffly has interviewed Miss Brewer about all details. He has also questioned Henry Payne, negro chauffeur, who drove Mc- Keithen to the place where he met the girl, and who brought the girl to the police station in McKeithen's au- tomobile after the killing. He has read certain letters which came into the possession of the juvenile court immediately after the killing.
 Report to Court
 But Coroner Diffly has declined td make a public statement. It had been indicated that his verdict would be returned Saturday, but instead of ren. dering a formal verdict such as hat  nounced that a confidential report would be made to the court. This is a new procedure in criminal investiga- tons of Montgomery county and leads to the conclusion that information has been developed which would in- dicate that the girl did not fire the bullet, although she told officers that she alone was responsible for the killing.
 No move had been made Saturday toward a formal investigation either by the circuit court or the juvenile court. The girl remains prisoner in the county jail. Her letters are in the possession of the juvenile court. Up to this time she is the only person involved In the case. Relatives of McKeithen are making every effort to obtain information about any affairs between McKeithen and the girl which may have pre- ceded the meeting at their trysting place the day McKeithen gave up his life.
 Age Is Feature
 The age of the girl remains an important feature of the case. She registered at the police station as 15 years old, but information Sat- urday was that evidence had been developed which might show she was older though not old enough to force her trial in the criminal court instead of the Juvenile court.
 Indications are that the girl will be called before the juvenile court for a formal investigation some time next week
 The judge of the juvenile court must obtain information on which to base a certificate to the circuit court. If this certificate does not show that corrective measures pro- vided by the juvenile court act would not bring reformation she cannot De tried on the charge of murder. If the juvenile court holds that she can be reformed no greater punishment can be placed on her than confine- ment in the state training school for girls until she is 21.

 Course Miss Macdonald had to say something handsome then; and this augmented brief talk she had made near the beginning of the program in which she explained about the class; the Red Cross; and complimented the students for the way they had given up all engage ments and personal pleasures to take the training that would make them more able to help their neigh bors and homefolks.
 Practical Work

 Miss Needham called for the crowd to stand back-'I know what to do." And quickly. quietly, the young, new nurse performed heroic service which was most helpful and comforting.

Pass in Review With
Boys Of 81 and 80

Forever. "Over There"
Minneapolis told San Francisco
through the agency of many stream
ers and banners that she was out after
the 1923 convention and intended to
get it. The veterans of the stirring
old Civil war days of 1861 reached
a hand out across the years to clasp
that of 1898 and 1917: most of the
old veterans riding in carry-alls, but
a few Of them marching along as
bravely as ever.
The Spanish-American Wal veterans
and the Veterans of Foreign Wars had
floats which were fragments Of the
history of Cuba, the Philippine insur-
rection and the Boxer uprising. There
were Red Cross nurses. too. and a big
contingent of Boy Scouts also was in
the line Of march.
The march of the disabled was a
triumph although the cheering was a
bit subdued by the city's deep sym
patty. And when it vas over the
veterans sank gratefully into the seats
around the long chow boards that
had been provided at the Civic audi
forum and proved with a right good
will that their disability, no matter
how severe. did not apply to their ap-
petites at least. There were mounds
Of cakes and pies and all of the other
good things that used to have a part
in the long and clinging homeland
dreams of the old campaign days.
The parade inaugurated the serious
business of the convention, the first
business session of which was held

crowned with success the northern or
Picking government and the adherents
