FUNERAL HELD
 FOR W. H. STALE
Police Continue Fruitless Search For Watch
 mans Slayers

While police continued vain search for clues which would lead to the identity of his slayer, W. H. Scale, late night watchman for the Hill Gro cery company, was laid to rest in Elm wood cemetery Tuesday afternoon. Funeral services were held at 3 80 o'clock from his residence, 1431 Thirty sixth street, with Johns in charge.
 The ground surrounding the crime wus gone over for the second time Tuesday and the objects in the vicinity examined minutely. Nothing was found ill the form of weapon except some heavy bricks. While some of the bricks had been handled, none showed blood stains.
 A new motive for the killing was advanced by detectives Tuesday in their report to Chief Fred McDuff. They now believe the murder was com mitted to obtain the keys to the ware house. They were baffled in their at- tempt when they failed to find the coveted keys.
 On account of the similarity of the Scale murder with the murder of James B. Smith, night watchman for the Adamson Motor Car company on May 27, police are inclined to believe the two murders were committed by the same person or persons.

RAIN RELIEVES
 LONG DROUCHT:
 CROPSIMPROVE
Encouraging Reports Re- ceived From Farmers
 Of State

Rain, a noticeable drop in tempera- lure; a tinge of fall in the air and re- lief from the continued hot and dry spell which has held Birmingham and the entire state in its grip were Tues days developments in the weather sit- nation.
 Eighty-six degrees, the highest .point touched by the mercury Tuesday, of- fered. sharp contrast to the few pre- ceding weeks when 100 or better has been the rule. Seldom, during the en- tire month of August, has the thermom- eter fallen below 90 degrees.
 As further encouragement, continued unsettled weather, cooler and with show CTS probable was predicted in Birming- ham Tuesday night by D. c. Horton of the weather bureau for Tuesday night and Wednesday.
 Reports Encouraging
 Encouraging reports from points over all the state were received over The Age-Herald's special leased wires Tues day night, following a breaking of the hot spell.
 Corn, hay, sweet potatoes and gar den crops generally are expected to take on new life, according to reports from the Albany-Decatur district. Be- cause of the lateness of the rain, how ever, it is expected to have little effct on the growing cotton crop, although som improvement is looked for. Farm CTS declare that nothing can materially change the situation as regards the cotton crop. The stalks as well as the leaves of the cotton have withered be- cause of the intense heat and bolls have ceased to form. No "top cotton" is expected and some point out that shedding will continue despite rainy weather.
 Fear Boil Weevil
 In the event much rain falls for a week or 10 days it was declared that the boil weevil will make his appearance in force. Only what is known to farm CTS as "basin cotton," that growing in the deep valleys. is expected to be bene- fitted by rainfall. It is estimated that the corn crops can be increased 33 per cent by sufficient rain and that the hay , crop will increase fully 50 per cent if the season should be favorable.
 One of the greatest benefits of the rain, which was said to be general over the state, will be to the sugar cane crop, which has been heavy sufferer from the drought. Even when planted in moist places, the cane is said to have suffered from the effects of the hot sun, according to reports from Castle berry.
 A heavy downpour was reported at Anniston at noon, which ended in slow but steady drizzle, continuing for several hours. Tuscaloosa and other cities over the state also reported good rain.
