GRAND JURY AGAIN EXPECTED TO HEAR BOWLING EVIDENCE
Investigation Suddenly Halted Early in March May Re-
 Sume Monday

With the reconvening Monday of , the Jefferson county grand jury 1t is thought the investigation of the abduction and flogging last May of Dr. J. D. Bowling, county and city health officer, will be resumed. The investigation halted suddenly early in March when the grand jury turned in d partial report without mention ing the Bowling case after an in- vestigation by city, county and fed eral officers had unearthed startling disclosures. When this report was made it was believed long recess had been asked by the grand jury in order to give investigators al oppor- tunity to perfect chains of ctrcum- stances involving at least five per sons,
 Officers charged with placing the case before the grand jury were non committal Saturday as to the action that body will take. Solicitor Jim Davis expressed the opinion that he did not know whether the case would be called before the jury or not.
 It is known that the investigation of the flogging of Dr. Bowling did not stop when the grand jury made it's report early in March and 1t Is understood that additional evidence has been massed for presentation to the inquisitorial body. The nature of this evidence has not been dis closed.
 o o O
 Probe Is Rcopened.
 The investigation of he flossing of pr. Bowling last May was re- opened by the first quarterly grand jury when qualifications of the story of the Kidnapping of Ed Herman Dan iels, North Birmingham negro taxi driver, indicated a connection be- tween the two cases. Daniels was Kidnapped in February from his home by four masked men. He managed to escape from the car in which he was placed by seizing pistol fire m one of his captors and leaDing from the moving automobile. He then en- gagged in a gun fight with his abduc tors. which resulted in the indict- ment of two men. William Yerby and Porter N. Newman, Acipco plumber. Yerby's alleged connection with the Kidnapping of the negro was estab- lished by the fact that he was taken to the South Highlands infirmary on. the night of the incident suffer ing from pistol bullet wounds which he could not explain to the satisfac- ton of the officers. Newman is al- legged to have been connected through Yerby.
 While the investigation of the Dan iels Kidnapping was being conducted Newman is alleged to have been iden- tified at tho county jail by Annie Laurie Il8ntner, negro iHalu III lhe employ of Dr. Bowling, as the man who asked for her master on the night he was abducted. At the time of his indictment for alleged compile ity in the Daniels Kidnapping Newman denied connection with either case. He declared he would present per feet defence at the propert time.
 Yerby, who was arrested and made bond while confined to the hospital, has made no statement. He Is un- der indictment in criminal court for murder in the second degree and will go to trial on this charge early in April.

Returns Filed by Nearly 5000 More Persons Than in
 Previous Year

Income tax receipts in the office of W. E. Snead, collector of internal revenue for Alabama. during the first U days of March amounted to s1.300,000, almost doubling receipts for the same period in 1922, the amount being s76S.000.
 Deputy field collectors predict that returns for 1922 will greatly ex- ceed those of 1921 on account of bet ter business conditions. Approxi- mately 1000 more persons filed their returns this year than last year dur ing the first hal. of the monch of March.
 4 number of taxpayers applied Friday and Saturday, in an effort to file their returns, despite the fact that the dead line went on Tuesday evening at g o'clock. These belated taxpayers were forced to pay the penalty of s5 for failure to file and the 25 per cent penalty of the amount of taxes due.

YOU PUSH BUTTON, BUT LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT---FOR 45 SECONDS Seeks Patent on Delayed Switch Which Saves Toes
 in Dark

No longer will toes be stumped on chairs, or by chance stepping on the cat, or a pin, with a new type elec- tric wall switch for which w, L. White, a Birmingham engineer. has made application for patent, after several months of work perfeeting it. His switch does not differ ma. terially from the usual type of wall swith, but it embraces the novel fea- ture that after pushing the button the. connection Is not really broken until 45 seconds later.
 The outward appearance Is prac- tically the same as switches now in use, but an oil .cylnder is con tained in the shells which, working on an arm and spring, allows the movement oftthe out button gradual ly to swing back into place before the light is exfinguished. Extreme fineness is necessary for the cylinder as a hole one ten-thousandth of an inch in diameter, allows the oil to pass through, at the end Of which tifpe the light is automatically turned off

CAMPA|GN 0N ANTS BEGINS NEXT WEEK
 THROUGHOUT CITY
Commission Grants Addition al Appropriation for Dr..
 HindS' Work

Active work for the extermination of the Argentine ant in the Birming- ham district will start within the next few days. following an addi- tional appropriation of $2,950 grant, ed by the city to W. E. Hinds, en- tomologist of the Alabama extension service. Saturday afternoon. When the matter was first placed before the commission, Hinds stated that $1,600 would be sufficient to carry out the campaign. A closer survey many new colonies had sprung up since the last survey made during last fall.
 Dr. ~Hinds was authorized to pur- chase the necessary supplies for the campaign at conference held Sat- urday morning. Work of organizing crews to place the poison will start immediately. During a survey just completed, ,t the ants were found in 3S localities. Complaints also have been received from Pratt City, North Birmingham, Thirty-first street, south. and Warsaw street.
 Ants have been reported from all over the city. Many complaints have come from the crest of Red Noun investigation during the past two weeks, keeping in close touch with the ants. He says the situation is more acute than during his last visit To Employ g Men.
 Four foremen and 2s day laborers will be employed under the direction of a superintendent who has been in three campaigns with Hinds. Two trucks will be used for the trans portation of the poison to the various localities. Fifty-five thousand cans. 1850 gallons of poison and 350 sponges have been ordered, along with 24 stepladders, "A hammers, pliers, 50 carrying boxes and 100 sup ply boxes. The cost of the material as outlined in the report given the commission will be $3,437.50, and the labor $1,1l2.50. It is expected that the campaign will eliminate the pest.
 The poison is very carefully made of the best cane sugar, so treated that 1t will not crystalline or fer ment. Sodium ardenite gives the poison element. The worker ants carry the poison back to the colo nies, killing the queens and the young within a period of three to seven days. The workers die after two or three weeks. This method is the only sure way In riddinE the community of the ants, Dr. Kinds stated.

The commission has listened to the petitions of the vast majority of the patrons of the street car company, has then made inde- pendent investigation and. deter mined that these patrons are entitled to relief. Tha-commission has made every possible effort to make settle ment of this question along amicable lines, but it takes two parties to make a settlement. When the street car company flatly declined to grant the relief prayed for by their pa- irons, the commission feels con strained to use that last vestige of authority which the Alabama public service commission has left to us.
