ACTION STARTED.
 TO OBTAIN TITLE
Payments On Lots Are Over
 due, Say Owners

Action to obtain a clear title to lots 6, z, s, 9, 10, Il, 12 and 13 in the SWA of section T IS, R3W, was started in the chancery division of the circuit court Wednesay by W. w. Burgin and Mrs. Jeanette B. Bastar from the Ca lera Development company and the Ala bama Stone and Lime company.
 According to the petition, the lots were sold to the Calera Development company, of which w. c. Gewin was president and director, on November 8, 1921, for $25,000. This sum was to be paid $2,50O cash and five notes for 4,500. When Burgin asked Gewin to pay one of the notes, then overdue, the petition asserts, Gewin stated that the Calera company had been purchased by the O'Neal Lime Works, Inc, which agreed to deed the property back to Bur gin in return for the unpaid notes.
 After this happened, the plaintiffs state that Gewin told a tenant on part of the property to pay his rent to him. On May 17, 1924, the property was given to Mrs. Jeanette Bastar, Bur gins granddaughter, and that an investi- gation showed that the property had been deeded to the O'Neal Lime Works, Inc, by the Calera Development com pany.

CITY ENGINEER
 MAKES REPORT
Completed Projects Val ued At $1, ,1S4,979.77 By
 A. J. Hawkins

Public improvement projects valued at $1, 1,1S4,979.77 were completed during the past fiscal year, the annual report of City Engineer A. J. Hawkins to the city commission showed Wednesday. This shatters all previous records.
 Hawkins predicted that next years projects will top the 1924 record by 25 or B per cent. The excellent showing in public improvement work is due largely to the work of Mir. Hawkins and his office staff, city hall officials agreed.
 The 1924 figures bring the grand to- tai of public improvement work since the city of Birmingham was incorpor- ated to $12,435, ,6S6, Hawkins report set forth. A gain of almost $1,OOO,OOO over 1923 was shown.
 Property owners paid for the ma jority of the improvements on an as sessment basis. As a rule, the new pro- jects were initiated by Hawkins and the commission upon petition of prop erty owners. However. during the year, individual real estate firms spent $780, 461 for gutters, curbs, sidewalks and similar improvements, the report showed.
 More than 16 miles of street paving were laid during the year, according to the report. The cost was $946,601. De tails of all the projects have been pub lished from month to month during the year. Hawkins recommended an ex tended storm sewer system as the greatest need of the city at this time He also told of the work of his staff in connection with the recent grade crossing war with the railroads. The maximum amount of construction under way at one time during the 12 month period was $1 1,954 ,506, and tht minimum was $440,000, the report added.
 Eleven major projects are now under way, Hawkins showed, including the Pratt City highway and the First ave nue paving project.
 Reflecting the volume of work super vised by Hawkins in connection with the improvement projects, was the para graph in his report showing that dur ing the year he prepared plans and spec ifications for 94 projects, of which St were let to contract. In addition, in numerable surveys and investigations were made. Due to the splendid record achieved by Hawkins since he become city en gineer, commission members, upon the completion of their terms, will strong ly recommend his retention by the in | coming governing body.

STATE AWAITS CHEMISTS REPORT
 IN EDWARDS CASE
Drug Theory Advanced Upon New Evidence
 Obtained By State

Developments in the case of Dr. George T. Edwards, indicted Tuesday for murder in the first degree in con nection with the murder of his wife, Mrs. Annie Lou Edwards, on the morn ing of December 2, at their Fairfield home, were brought to a standstill WeG- nesday while Solicitor Ben G. Perry awaited the report of Dr. B. B. Ross, state chemist, as to the findings in his examination of the dead woman's stOm- ach.
 The necessity of holding the autopsy and finding the contents of the stom ach developed recently when it was learned that a quantity of a certain drug had been obtained from a local hospital under false pretenses, Solic- itor Perry said. The examination of the stomach was to definitely determine whether this drug had been admins tered to the murdered woman, Perry de- clared.
 Gun Rumors Revived
 While it was rumored that the gun found in a scuttle hole of the Edwards home several days after the murder had been charged ip coroner's war rant to Edwards, had been traced to the doctor. no confirmation of these reports could be obtained from either Solicitor Perry or Chief Deputy Henry Hill. Nothing could be secured from these officials as to what form the investigation will take, but it was stated that every possible clue was sill being traced, without regards to its apparent remoteness.
 Dr. B. B. Ross, who is making the analysis of the stomach at his laboratory in Auburn, declared that the analysis had gotten under way Wednesday. The analysis will prob ably take several days as the process is a very laborious one. The first re- port of the findings in the stomach must be made to the authorities order ing the analysis, Dr. Ross said. So licitor Ben G. Perry and Coroner d. J. Grove will be the first to receive the news of the chemists findings. With great secrecy the exhumatlon and autopsy were carried through the proper channels for fear that Knowledge of the states intentions should reacf the defence and bring forth an 1nJunc tion.
 Members of the dead woman's fam | fly still maintain the silence which haS marked them since the murder. MrS Whetstone who answered newspaper mems ring Wednesday declared, II IT sorry that I cant say anything abou it and Mir. Whetstone is out of tho city. Mrs. Dudley is in no condition to be questioned"
 George Ross, attorney for Edwards could throw no light on the new devel opment. II have only heard about th' alleged poisoning through the news papers," he declared.
 The defense, according to MT. Ross was still undecided as to whether oi not habeaus corpus proceedings would be filed to secure bond for Edwards Nothing definite as to the next steI had been decided, he said.
 Solicitor Perry declared the cast was rapidly nearing completion.

 ATNEW ORLEANS
Stamping Out Of Out break, Confined To Rats,
 Urged By White
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-A re- quest for an immediate appropriation of S125000 to be used in controlling the reported outbreak of bubonic plague among rats at New Orleans and vii cinity, was forwarded to congress to- day by the treasury department.
 The money, congress was informed, would be placed at the command of the public health service, which on Decem- Der f, first received report, the com munication sent to Speaker Gillett said that there was evidence of bnbonlc plague at New Orleans.
 Control of the outbreak, it was de- clared, involves immediate trapping Of rodents in suspected areas, suppression of disease among lower animals and the inspection and fumigation of all outgoing vessels to comply with inter- national requirements.
 Acting Surgeon General White said tonight that the outbreak, as reported to the public health service, was con- fined to rats. No human cases, he em- phasized, have been reported, and the appropriation was sought merely to enable the experts to get to work inn mediately upon eXterminatlon ot the disease among the animals.

connection with Mobile and they did not hesitate to say that the Warrior service was of vast value in the devel- cpment of this district and the inland waterways situation. The committee was also impressed with the obvious feeting in this district of cooperation on the part of the industrial leaders of this community.
 "The committee felt that the indus trial leaders here were indicating healthy interest in the waterways. which was invaluable. The comments made in Washington and on the train back to that city. The highest degree of friend ship was created for the Warrior by the advisory committee and all of us feel that the barge line is perfectly safe and that it's growth will be most gratl- flying to those so vitally concerned with the service"

WATERWAY BODY GREATLY PLATED AT WARRIOR LINE
Brown Says Committee Favorable To Expan-
 sion Plans

Official bodies visiting Birmingham have received many surprising impress sions, but none more son than those composing the Inland Waterways cor poration advisory committee, according to Robert A. Brown, one of the commit tee, who returned home Wednesday, fol lowing the final conference of the board in Washington with Secretary Weeks of the war department.
 In discussing the trip with an Age Herald reporter Wednesday MT. Brown said the members of the board came here with the idea in mind that they would find canal, but they found a river whose potentialities every one of them admitted to be great. Mr. Brown said the history of the trip had been die tated to a stenographer who was a mem- Der of the party and in Washington last week the entire situation was studied by the members of the advisory commit tee. Later they conferred with Secre- tary Weeks and Saturday made their final report to the department of war.
 Mir. Brown said it would be indis- erect for him to make any statement as to the recommendations of the board but the report filed with Secretary Weeks, was very complete and accurate. He predicted that the secretary of war would make an announcement of the findings later on, although he did not in dicate when that might be.
 "The Warrior river and it's possibili- ties made tremendous impression on the members of the advisory commit mittee," said MT. Brown. "This trip was the first made here by the members. They came here expecting to find a canal, which was perhaps important and worthy of an inspection. They did not realize, as much as we did, what the Warrior meant. They found river and beautiful river. Every expression they made was complimentary to the
