RECEIVER IS ASKED
 FOR ALABAMA ROAD
Petition Charges Gross Mismanage-
 agement Of Muscle Shoals Road

PENSACOLA, Fla. May 15.--A bill of complaint in the United States court today asked for the appoint ment of a receiver for the Muscle Shoals, Birmingham and Pensacola railway, and also seeks an enjoin- ing order preventing the present of ffcers from selling or otherwise dis posing of any properties of the rail way line.
 The suit is brought in the name of w. l.. Wachob. a citizen of Alabama, and the question of enforcement of the labor lien by the government fig ures in the proceedings. In fact, the long bill recites that such is the pur- pose of the steps thus taken.
 The short line extends to Kim brough. Ala, distance of 143 miles, and recently plans for it's extension to the Birmingham territory were an nounced. The plaintiff ayers that the two pay days have gone by without the necessary and expected checks being distributed; that S36.000 repre- sents the sum owed labor, and total indebtedness of the road is approXi- mately S143.000.
 Gross mismanagement is charged, and it is related that such may con- tinue unless relief comes through the appointment of receiver. It is de- clared that the road bank balance to- day is about s2O0.
 Judge Sheppard made an order cit ing officials of the road to appear May 23 at 10 o'clock to show cause why receiver should not be appointe ed in line with the application.

 Eye witnesses and those engag ged in rescue work said that many per sons were swept with the flood fer several blocks only to be rescued by a squad stationed at a point where the water having run its course hay ing recedtd. Others drawn into the torrent were caught by persons along the water line as they swept by. Approximately one hundred autonU piles were destroyed or damaged.
 At a. m., when the crest of the flc cd had been reached, the fire alarm sounded. Fire broke out first in the Grand Rapids Furniture store. at point where the waters reached a height of several feet. From there it spread rapidly to filling station. The Oliver Finnie grocery, the American Express offices, the Rosen- thai Shoe store, the Dixie cafel and finally the Marquette hotel soon were a roaring mass of flames. Darkness fell and the rushing waters, heavy rain and the red glare of the fire ever it all, caused onlookers almost to fear the entire city was doomed.

WORK, STUDY, PLAY IS. PLAN FOR SCHOOLS
Board Of Education To Add Another
 Year In Grammar Grades

A platoon system or work, study play school, will be adopted in prac- tically all of the elementary schools of Birmingham next fall, if present plans of the Birmingham board of education materialize, according to announcement Tuesday.
 The work, study, play plan school will enable the board of education to enrich it's curriculum and will also provide accommodations for a larger number of children than can be cared for at the present time with the linn itcd facilities in many of the schools. In the new system one division of the school will be given their play hour while another will be holding a study period and still q third will be at work in one of the various depart ments of the school. These divisions will rotate and not a period of the time will be wasted
 While plans have been definitely worked out for the organizing of the work, study, play plan schools for Birmingham the board continues It's work in completing arrangements for an additional grade, to be known as the sub first grade. This grade will make eight years in the graded school and four years in the high school. The putting in of this sub first grade will take care of the six year-old children who enter the pub lie schools. With this additional grade the present first grade will be- come the second and so on through the present seventh, which will be- come the eighth.
 The re-orSanizing of the school grades will necessitate the lengthen- ing of the school day The time in the school where the platoon sys- tenn is not in practice will be length ened until 2:30 o'clock, while in the schools where this system is adopted sessions will continue until o'clock.
 The new system. it ic stated, will give the children an opportunity to prepare their lesson for the following school day while a teacher is present to supervise the study. Dr. c. B. Glenn, superintendent of schools, stated that many children were forced to spend most of the after moons and evenings in preparing their lessons for the next day, when they should be playing in the open air or reading supplementary books that will broaden their education.
 pr. Glenn hopes that the board of education will employ mental ex- pert at the beginning of the next school year Through this expert, he states, it will be possible for chill dren to advance as rapidly as their ability and development will warrant.

Eight Men Are Awaiting Death In Big Chicago Prison

CHICAGO. May 15.--Eight men, most of them young men, are waiting in "Murderer's Row" at the Cook county jail, for various days on which they are practically certain to hang. Terror. stolidity and bravado were among the reactions shown by mis group, the largest awaiting death here at any one time in the past two years, when they were Inspected and in some cases interviewed Tuesday. Most of them, however, seemed con tented to breathe the fetid, chilly air of the jail, just because it was air. but begrudged each breath because 1t brought nearer the moment that must come to each.
 The latest arrival on "Murderer's Row" is Walter Krauser, who is only 19 years old, but is where he is be- cause he helped slay policeman. Walter arrived Sunday and was placed in cell apart from the others because Bernard Grant, his former Buddy and assistant in the crime, cursed him and threatened him be- cause he held krauser responsible for his own conviction. The jailers felt this would be bad for the boys nerves if he was continually forced to listen to 1t.
 Faces Up and Down Cell.
 Krauser had been pacing up and down his cell for several hours. an at tendant said. He was still pacing.
 T can't stand still," he said, and twitched his fingers so the bones cracked. He looked trapped and be- wildered.
 Grant was more unconcerned as he launched into T-bone steak, which his parents had brought Trough" at the start, the approach of death seemed to make him harder and more cynical.
 What d'ya have me brought out here for" he was said to have asked his parents when they secured per mission to see him at the warden's office. But he appreciated the steak and his mothers homemade pie. Pie followed steak rapidly, piece going through the bars to John Meis ner in the next cell, sentenced for killing taxi driver.
 Great" exclaimed Meisner as he gobbled the pie. In his cell was vase of beautiful flowers, the gift of girl friend who had not forgotten him.
 Eager to Discuss Case.
 Arthur Foster, another late ar rival. convicted of murdering Mrs. Kate Trostell when she refused to marry him. greeted visitors pleas antly, and wanted to discuss his case, claiming he didn't get square deal" Apparently the horror of death had failed to impress him very strongly.
 The stolidity was found in Larry Heffernan and William Kramer, slayers of Joe Lanus. Smoking cigar cites necessarily. they refuse to talk except between themselves. Differ ent was Caspar Pastoni, killer of Mrs. Elibzabeth Mitchell and her infant daughter. Pastoni displayed delight at having someone to talk to, and chatted fluently. In Ais eyes, how ever. there seemed to be the glint of fear.
 Last in thee row is James Smith. dapper youth who killed Frank OConnell. a cigar clerk. He has been there since January IS. Warden

MOUNTS DEATH |S STILL P?!UzZLE II q A I [ OFFICIALS
New Evidence Tends To Re- . flute Previous Theories In
 Case

CHICAGO, May 14.--The grand jury investigating the disappearance 20 months ago of Leighton Mount Northwestern university freshman, turned its attention toaay to other matters while the states attorneys office attempted go disentangle the snarled threads of the case including evidence of suicide, voluntary dis appearance and accidental death in a class rush the night he vanished.
 What little evidence was gathered through questioning of several per sons by assistants states attorneys tended to refute some of the previous theories.
 One of the strongest bits of evid- ence pointing to death in a hazing episode and later concealment of the body was partly overturned today by Merry Warren, 12 who discovered a skeleton under an Evanston pier be- lieved by the authorities to be Mounts. He told investigators that the skeleton was not weighted down with heavy rocks. The reports gen orally accepted until today, that heavy stones were piled on the skele- ton, had led those who believed the bones were those of Mount to pre- clude the suicide theory
 Saw Boy After Disappearance
 The suicide theory. was given cred ence by Dr. Clarence r. Neymann, a psychiatrist that he believed Mount to be of moody disposition, capa- ble of desperate action under cer tain circumstances.
 A report that the missing boys sister had received letter from him months after he disappeared was de- nied by the sister but the voluntary disappearance theory was strength ened by statements of Dr. Herman Steinborn, a Christian Science prac- titioner who said he had seen Mount three weeks after he disappeared.
 Nergil Fitch, of Ludineton, Mich, prosecuting attorney of Mason coun- ty and father of Roscoe Conkling Fitch, former room mate of Mount arrived here today to help question his son. The youth, who after de- nying that he knew of the Mount case, admitted he knew the facts in connection with the death of Louis Auber, student killed three weeks ago in an automobile accident fol- lowing a class fight, reiterated state mentS that he knew nothing of Mount'S diSapDeara
