NEGRO SHOT BELIEVED TO BE KANT-KETCHEM, NOTORIOUS BURGLAR

William Sanders, negro, whom po- lice authorities believe to be Kant Ketehem, wanted for more than 800 Birmingham burglaries netting $25,- 600 in three years, was shot and se- riously injured at 6:30 o'clock Friday night by J. w Mercer, 3S19 Glenwood avenue, while attempting to enter the home of T. J. Gallagher, SSSO Glenwood avenue. After being wounded in the right leg and right shoulder, the negro ran for two blocks before falling to the ground Frank M. Dixon. Clairmont avenue, solicitor in the Jefferson county court of misdemeanors. called Detectives W. K. McAdory and W. B. Helton who took Sanders to Hillman hos pital. He has a chance to recover, 1t Is said.
 Investigation by Detectives c. M Bragan and R. J. Walton developed that Mercer saw the negro raising a window in the front of the Galla- negro dropped to the ground and fled. Mercer fired three shots, two of which took effect.
 Police are inclined to believe that Sanders is the Kant-Ketchem, since he was barefooted when found. Ir each instance of previous robberies thought to be the work of this man bare footprints have been found where entrance was gained. The ne- gro will be held for thorough inves- tigation.
 Sanders said he was not trying tc rob the house, in statement at the hospital, saying he was en route tc his girls house.

TICK APPROPRIATIONS ARE
 OPPOSED BY DELEGATION

Protests against appropriations for eradicating ticks in Jefferson county were made by delegation of approximately 100 persons from beat 31 before the board of revenue Fri day. Spokesmen declared such ex- penditure under the present plan was a useless waste. They declared that unless adjoining counties provided money for the dipping of cattle 1t was needless for Jefferson county to attempt to fight the ticks.
 Members of the delegation said they did not object to having their cattle dipped but said they wished the work to be under the control of the board of revenue. Members of the board of revenue told them this was impossible, as the work of tick eradication was a function of the federal government.

Seizure Of car load of bottled in bond whisky. valued at sS0,000 con- signed from Frankfort, Ky, to Los Angeles, Cal. In the Avondale yards of the Southern railway by police officers at o'clock Friday morning was held Illegal and through an order of Judge c. NJ. Sartain, federal pro- hibition director, the shipment will proceed to Los Angeles probably Sat urday morning. The seizure was illegal inasmueh as the whisky was taken from warehouses in Frankfort by a government permit.
 The whisky will be moved from Birmingham through instructions from S. F. Rutter of the United States custom service, San Francisco, requested by Judge Sartain. Rutter advised Judge Sartain that 1t was satisfactory with his office for the shipment to proceed to It's original destination under the original per init.
 The shipment was seized in Blr- mingham through a tip received by Patrolman Morrow of the Avondale business district. Morrow in turn relayed the information to police headquarters a search warrant be- t1B dIu tHe car enIe1eQ. The car contained 6s9 cases of "Old Crow" whisky,N10 cases of the ship ment being stolen In Trenton, Ga., where the whisky was tied up for IS months through similar action taken by officers of that city The car was released January Is by an order of Judge Tarver of the Geor- gla supreme court.
 Police officers estimated the value Of the whisky to be Ss0, ,o0o at the present prices charged by the boot logging element. The W. A. Gaines Distilling company of Frankfort were the consignee's of the whisky, its destination being the Brunswick Drug company of Los Angeles.
 Chief of Police Fred H. McDuff and Officers V. Sandefer. P. c. Cole, r. J. Smith, E. W. Jackson, Floyd Eddins and Morrow raided the car. Federal Prohibition Agents Fowler, Scale, Moody, Wilson and Roberts, with Judge Sartain, conducted the federal investigation.

and the architects specifications for the building, MT. Leroux stated.
 MT. Leroux reasserted before leav- ing Birmingham that the bid of his company was lower by approximately s6.000 than that of Manasco. He sub mitted figures to prove his conten- ton and produced copy of his bid showing that the cost of roofing ithe auditorium was included in his bid. It was by adding the cost of roofing to tho bids of Manasco and the At lanta Construction company that Manasco's bid was said to be lower than the companys. Manasco's bid, it Is stated, did not include the cost of roofing the building. while the construction company's did.
 Tt is absurd" MT. Leroux de- c1ared, ito call a building inclosed unless 1t has a roof on 1t. I never heard of the contract for the brick work of building and the construc- tion of the roof for the same build ing being let to different firms. It Is practically impossible to have dif- ferent firms doing these two co-ordi- mated pieces of work"
 MT. Leroux made the assertion that building without a roof would be blown down by the first strong wind. The air currents would swoop down inside of the four walls and cause them to bulge, he said.
 The Atlanta Construction company will have two representatives in Bir- mingham at all times and will fight the awarding of the contract to Ma nasco to the very last, MT. Leroux asserted.
