BIRMINGHAM AXE
FIEND is UNCAUGHT
KILLS SEVENTEEN IN SPACE
OF TWO YEARS IN ALABAMA
CITY. WORK OF MANIAC.

Seventeen murders committed Tor
500 is the record OF an AMMAN in Biz
mingham, Ala. In the last two years
he has killed II persons and wounded
II Others. The murderer smashes the
skulls of his victims and then rifles
their stores for money. He never steals
anything but money and in the last
two years has secured only few pen
MES more than one hundred dollars.
No clew has been left by the hend
during his two years of murder, ex-
cept the small ak found on the floor
of Luigi Vitellasos store after Nitel-
laso and his wife had been so badly
injured on Jan %, last. The wife
died almost Immediately and her hus-
bands death followed few days la
ter. Detectives are convinced that each
of the murders has been done by the
same man, that he is a white man,
and is possessed by hom1c1dal ma
MIA.
Attacks Any One.
Crime investigators who have been
irving for two years to solve the mys-
terv believe he carries a small short
handled ak concealed beneath his coat
and that it is his custom about sup
per time to enter a small store in the
residence section, very often a store
connected with the dwelling place IN
which the merchant and his family
live.
The murderer pretends that he wish
es to purchase some small article and,
as the merchant turns, whips the AK
from beneath his coat and brushes the
skull of the unsuspecting man; II
members of the family in the adloin-
ing dwelling investigate, the murderer
hides behind the door and strikes them
down from behind. No living person
has even seen the face of the fend,
as he always attacks from behind.
Bows and girls, as we'll as old women,
are among his victims.
Because of these terrific attacks
from behind, many of the small merr-
chants are wearing army helmets al
ter dark. Police believe that an insane
killer is abroad in Birmingham, and
for more than a year four OF the best
detectives in the department. have
spent their entire time in. vain et-
fort to apprehend the slayer.

QUAKE SEA SMELLS
REACH CALIFORNIA

Los Angeles, Sept. 4.-Sea swells
20 feet high larger than any in the
experience of mariners at Los An
geles harbor struck southern Cali
fornia coast early Tuesday and were
believed to have been the result of
the earthquake and tidal wave which
devastated parts of Japan.
The swells broke completely over
the 15-foot breakwater and carried
away all lost objects including a
boat tender at the lighthouse and a
considerable lumber piled along the
shore.
Naval observers said no storm of
any size was reported anywhere on
the Pacific and they believe the huge
swells were the reaction on this coast
of the cause of the Japanese catas-
trophe.

Calamity Enters Second Stage

Calamity Enters Second Stage
San Francisco, Sept. 4.-Japan or
Tuesday entered the second stage OF
her calamity. jThis consister first
in more definite reckoning through
official channels of the losses sustain
ed in the stricken region as result
of the earthquake, fire, tidal wave
and typhoon; second, in reconstruc-
ton.
Reports from various sources have
estimated the loss of life in Toxic,
Yokohama and vicinity at 100000
up to 100000. The latter estimate
came to the Associated Press by way
of Harbin. Damage to property in
Toxic alone, according to advices
Tuesday from Shanghai, has been
estimated as high as 250,000,000.
1t is expected later and more care
full estimates will reduce the casualty
figures. In the great shock and ex-
citement that naturally prevail for
some time after such disasters exag-
gerated reports are certain to be
made. The Associated Press has ac-
cepted and passed ON all reports that
appeared to eminate from ordinarily
reliable sources, waiting for more
accurate appraisal of damage until
could be re-establish-
ed with its own bureau in Toxic.
Confirm Cities Gone
The frstdirect message from To-
kio to the outside world was receiv-
ed late Monday night. This con-
frmed in substance previous reports
that Toxic and Yokohama had been
destroyed and said casual
ties in both cities would run into the

tial law prevailed in all the stricken
cities and that help from outside
was badly needed.

WHATS WRONG WITH The
WOMEN, BIG PHOTO PLAY

Ever since Mother Eve imbedded
her pearly white teeth in the tabled
apple humanity has pondered from
time to time the age-old problem
"What's Wrong With the Women?"
Now comes a motion picture that
sets for itself the same eternal ques-
ton and comes pretty close to an
swering it-at least so far as the
present high-power, helter-skelter,
fapperescent generation of women is
concerned.
1t will thrill and entertain you at
the Liberty theatre where it will be
shown for the first time Thursday
and Friday.
No time is wasted in getting at
the core of the subject. With bold
and powerful strokes the curtains
that hide the whims, the foibles and
weaknesses of that dynamo of ever
changing emotions the modern
woman-are~ ripped aside. 1t is in
1t is in no sense preachy although its
big treatment may be foqed ser
mon that will shatter deceit and ex-
and weld closer together
the bonds of love and human sym
pathy.
The story, which was written by
Mr.. Daniel C. Goodman, is straight
forward narrative dealing with the
lives of smart orOllp of men and
in the gilded strata of big
town society. Women and men, too,
plunge into the maelstrom of life un
restrained. Extravaganza, folly,
broken hearts and twisted souls. 1t
won't do to reveal the plot.
