YERKES IN COMMITTEE
Named One Of 25 To Study Problems
 Confronting Coal Industry

S. L. Yerkes, vice president of the Grider Coal Sales agency and promi- nent Alabama coal operator, Tuesday was named by John c. Brydon. presi- dent of the National Coal association, as one of 25 members of committee whose purpose it shall be to con- tinue the study of problems confront ing the industry, to pass on queS- tions of policy affecting the associa- tion and to form a close liaison be- tween the mine owners and the pub lie.
 This committee is to be known as the policy committee of the associa- tion, a new body formed as the re- suit of a suggestion embodied in the address of Mir. Brydon when he was elected president of the organization at it's recent annual meeting in At lantic City. In selecting its members the association'sf president not only chose carefully with view to giving the industry adequate geographical representation but the personnel is equally divided among owners or mines employing union labor ana those conducted under the open shop system. By virtue of his office MT. Brydon will be chairman of the com mittee.
 We must organize to put our selves regularly and continuously into closer contact with the publics S interest and the public'sGmind," MT. Brydon declared in suggesting the committee. T am confident that the work of the policy committee of the National Coal association will be an important factor in producing results both for the public and the indus try itself"

NEGRO SUSPECTED OFAXATTROCITIES| CAUGHT BY POLICE
Man Found Under Bed With Weapon Early Tuesday
 Morning

Some light on Birmingham's 19 ak murders as the result of 39 assaults during the past four years may be gained by police with the arrest Tuesday of Pink Ball, negro, 35, 40 sixteenth street, south, by Officers Alexander and Watson. after the negro was found under the bed of T. s. McGee, negro, 512 Twenty eighth street, south, Tuesday morning at o'clock, with a short handle aX in his hand.
 According to statements given out by the police and McGee, Pink Ball had been to McGee's home on seV- eraI occasions during the past two weeks, on two occasions having had McGee change some money for him. Monday night Ball came to McGee's house and asked change for dollar. McGee drew q large roll of bills from his pocket and gave the negro change.
 About 1 o'clock Tuesday morning McGee was sitting on his front porch and when he left for his room, intui- ton caused him to look behind the doors and under the bed. Upon mt ing the covers from the bed and strik- ing match McGee saw Ball lying under his bed with short ax in his hand. McGee recognized Ball, and threatened him if he did not come out. Ball had removed his shoes and placed them on the rear porch.
 Officers Alexander and Watson. who were scouting in the vicinity or Twenty eig hth street happened along at the time. McGee stopped them AS he walked to the automobile Ball made a break for liberty, running in rear of the house, McGee, accSmpan- jed by the officers, searched the neighborhood and found Balls shoes where he had left them. Parking their car some distance from the house, the officers waited. Within an hour Ball returned for his shoes and was arrested by the officers. Transferred To County Jail.
 Warrants charging trespass and breach of the peae, were sworn out for Ball Tuesday morning by McGee and Ball was transferred to the county jail.
 While no definite investigation has been made by the police, 1t was uh- derstood Wednesday at headquarters that the finger print bureau of the department would make complete investigation and it may be possible to link Ball with some of the aS- saults and murders which have ter rorized Birmingham during the past two years.
 The ax which Ball had concealed under the bed with him belonged to McGee and was identified by him as his property. Statements by McGee were to the effect that when he leIl the front porch to go for drlhk' Ball must have slipped in the front door and hidden under the bed' -AI the time McGee had approXlmately $500 on his person, which was leII from the sale of an automobile the day before, and was the money which Ball saw and possibly was the lh- stigtion of the attempted assault
