OWENS DENIED
 CHANGE VENUE
Hearing For Alleged AK man To Start Friday
 Jury Being Selected

Change of venue for Frank Owens, negro, alleged confessed ax man, sought by Kenneth Charlton, lawyer, on the ground that newspaper reports of the alleged atrocities would not admit of a fair trial for the negro in Jefferson county, was denied by Judge H. P. Heflin at the conclusion of the hear ing in it's petition Monday. Judge Heflin announced that the trial would proceed as expected. Date of the be- ginning of the hearing, however, origin ally set at Monday, was moved to Fri day.
 Owens will, it is said, plead not guilty, and the defense will rely prob- ably on plea of insanity. Physicians have been observing the negro with a view to determining his mental condi- tion.
 Attacked White Men
 Owens is alleged to, have confessed to having attacked l.. M. Whatley and Richard Warner, both white men, who are now recovering at the Hillman hos pital from wounds in the head inflicted with an ax the night of May 24 in a negro alley near the downtown section. The negro is said to have implicated another, whose name has not been di- vulged, in the crimes.
 A special grand jury met within 24 hours after the attack and indicted Owens.
 Death penalty will be asked by So- licitor Davis, according to reports at the court house, and it is expected that he will himself prosecute the case. Warner, one of the victims of the ax attack will, 1t is said, be able to appear as witness in the trial.
 Owens is the sixth alleged ax-wielder to face trial within the past three weeks. Three of the other five, Pearl and Odell Jackson, man and wife, and Peyton Johnson, all negroes, were given death sentences, and two others were given life imprisonment.
 Organization of the jury for the Owens trial was begun Monday, and will be announced Tuesday.

LACK OF FUNDS
 MAY SEAL DOOM OF COP SCHOOL
Insult And Waste Of Public's Money" Cloe
 Contends

If the city commission goes lover the hSad" of Police Commissioner Cloe Tuesday and appropriates $700 to es- tablish police training school here, it will have to look beyond the police bud get to find the money.
 Cloe now is slightly over his budget. He is ready to make vigorous fight against the 'cop college" which is be- ing urged by the civil service board. rFor some time Monday Cloe was cleseted with City Attorney W. J. Wynn. Details es of. what transpired were carefully guarded, but the com missioner intimated he had a trump card. to spring on his colleagues at Tuesdays session.
 Injection of a financial phase into the controversy caused the other com rnissioners to take notice, and as mat ters stood Monday night it was doubt ful is the measure establishing the school would pass.
 Cloe will ask his colleagues to uphold him on the ground that the school would be an insult to his men and would be a waste of the public money. On the other, hand, members of the service board will argue that the school would cause the departments eff ciency to be greatly increased.
 Cioe Gains Support
 Cloe seemed assured of the support ~e r. Eendon. Commissioners W. l.. Harri- son and Mary Echois were expected to favor the school, although they had not publicly expressed themselves. Com' missioner W. B. Dickson, whose vote probably will decide the issue, said he had not made up his mind. Inasmuch as Dickson's policy usually has been to follow the recommendations of depart .fnsnt heads. Cloe was counting strong ly on his support. A
 Dickson told reporters he did not believe Cloe's budget could stand the expense of the school He doubted if the money could be found elsewhere.
 While Cloe made ready to fight hard at Tuesdays session, members of the police department assembled in small groups and discussed the proposed ''col- lege." The preponderance of opinion seemed to be against it. Some mem- .bers of the force openly declared it would arouse widespread resentment.
 $500 For Instructor
 George Ragsdale, instructor of the police school in Louisville, Ky, has been selected by the civil service board to head the school, commencing July 1. He would stay here one month and then turn the supervision over to local officers who showed greatest aptitude for leadership. Ragsdales salary for the month would be $500 and expenses of the school would be around $200.
 It was reported at city hall that copies of recent reports of the Louis vile police department would be in Commissioner Cloe's hands before the commission meets. These reports, it was declared, show that BiEmingh haniss saepaftment in recent months has hung up a record superior to that of the Louisville force.
 s445This argument-and many others, d5ubtless will be used by Cloe before the commission. He is bitter against the proposal to set up the school and Asserts it would injure the department rather than help'it.

STEEL OUTLOOK GOOD.

Will Prosper Also.

YOUNGSTOWN. Ohio, December %.
The outlook for 1925 is favorable
for the steel business. as well as for
other lines OF industry, in the opin-
ION of James A. Campbell, president
of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube
Co., expressed in a new year fore
cast here today.
Mr.. Campbell said that most steel
companies have contracts covering
their output. at least OF the more
important products, for the FIRST
Quarter Of the new year. The steel
operator, whose company is now third
largest in the United States, pointed
to three factors as the basis for his
prediction OF good business. These
are:
The farmers are getting their
prices, the railroads are making
more money than at any time in their
history and a growing population
creates needs which must be sup
piled.
