NEGRO DESPARADO
 HAS CRIME RECORD
Police Say Will Dowell Might
 Be AK Murderer

Has Will Dowell, negro desperate who wounded D. J. Dugger, traffic patrolman, in. a running gun battle any connection with Birmingham's ax murders?
 This question is one of the first de- tectiyes will attempt to solve should Dowell, now suffering from gunshot wounds at Hillman hospital, recover.
 No definite information along this line has yet been uncovered but should the trail of evidence now being worked out lead to a relationship between the negro and other suspects in the ax crimes it would come as no surprise to authorities.
 Dowell, besides five counts of assault with intent to murder, will be faced by a number of other accusations it was brought out Tuesday.
 Mrs. J. K. Smith of Weenona Mines identified the negro as the one who robbed her store late Monday morn ing which precipitated the running gun battle. He was also identified by E. J. Orr, head of the Orr Coal company, as an employe who overpowered him, December g and robbed him of $59.
 Further investigation brought iden- tification from authorities of Opelika where he is said to be wanted for high way robbery.
 On top of this E. l.. Hollums and W. K. McAdory, detectives, are said to have uncovered evidence that he has three living wives, two under the names of ''Dowell" and one as Peterson"

HOUSE ORDERS
 FULL QUIZ INTO
 SHIPPING BOARD
Will Be Directed Mainly Against Lasker And
 Palmer, x-Chairmen

WASHINGTON, March A sweep ing investigation of the shipping board was authorized today by the House.
 After brief debate a resolution was adopted providing for appointment of a special committee to conduct the in- quiry.
 Four republicans and three demo- crats, to be designated by Speaker Gil- lett, will serve on the committee. The inquiry was proposed by Representative Davis of Tennessee, a democrat on the merchant marine committee.
 The resolution, adopted by a viva voce vote, authorizes an inquiry into the shipping board, Emergency Fleet corporation and subsidiary agencies since their creation.
 Scope Of Investigation While the investigators will have au- thority to go into the management of the board during the Wilson adminis- tration, House members who have been pressing for the inquiry, predicted it would be directed chiefly at the admin istration of A. D. Lasker, former chair man of the board, and his successor, Edward P. Farley, because operations during and immediately after the war were investigated several years ago by the Walsh committee.
 Chairman Shell of the rules commit tee, who presented the Davis resolution for House action, declared there was no pronounced opposition to it either among House members or on the part of the shipping board.
 Leaders had planned, after disposi- tion of the Davis proposal, to have the House act on a resolution by Repre- sentative Nelson of Wisconsin, leader of the republican, insurgents, proposing an investigation of the air craft inquiry, but it was not brought up.

OPEN AIR MART IDEA IS JUNKED
 BY COMMISSION
County Truck Growers Protest Against
 Duplication

Plans for installing an open-air mar ket across the street from the S200, ,000 municipal market house were junked Tuesday when the city commission de- cided to sell two lots already owned there by the city instead of buying three more adjoining lots necessary for the project.
 Hill Ferguson, real etsate dealer, who sold the two lots to the city for $37 BOO two years ago and had been trying to sell the other three for $75,000 was given notice that the city had aban- donedl the idea.
 The real estate board will be asked to appraise the lots 50x140 feet each and indications are that the minimum price will be set at $50,000. They are inside lots, situated on the north side of Third avenue near Twenty third street.
 Help Farmers
 The action of the city in discarding the open-air market plan was brought to head by petition of the Jefferson County Farmers and Truck Growers association Tuesday. B. c. Garmon, business manager of the association, spoke in behalf of the petition.
 Both the petition and Garmon asked the city not to consider an open air market across from the market house giving as reasons that the association had purchased permanent quarters at Sixth avenue and Twenty-eighth street and were we'll satisfied. They also stated the site on Third avenue at Twenty-third street was undesirable. They made it clear that they were not fighting the market house and would be glad to cooperate with the city in every way possible.
 The commission adopted a resolution congraulating the farmers association on their new home and announcing the abandonment of the open-air market plans.
 No Option
 Ferguson tried to get the commis- sion to give him a 60-day option of the two lots to be sold, but failed when Commissioner William l.. Harrison ob- jected. Harrison criticised the procedure heretofore used of giving any one per son an option on city property to be sold and thereby shutting out other bidders. He declared everyone should be given the opportunity of bidding on the proporety.
 Discussing the price to be asked for the two lots, the majority of the board agreed that $50,000 was a good price, but Harrison and Mrs. Echols said it might bring more. President D. E. McLendon agreed with them and will ask the realty board for an appraisal,

 IN BOMB PLOT;
 HELD IN LONDON
Hughes Reports Full List Of Wall Street
 Gang

.a NEW YORK, March 4.-District Attorney Banton announced late today that in an English prison is man who has confessed to a part in the Wall Street explosion of September 16, 1920, in which 30 persons were killed and scores injured.
 Aside from this confession MT. Ban ton said the state department in Wash ington has the names of others im- plicated in the explosion.
 Mir. Bandon said he had received a telegram from Governor Smith ad- yising him of the receipt by the governor of a message from Secretary of the State Hughes relating to the explosion.
 Upon learning the contents of Gov ernor Smiths telegram to Mir. Banton, criminal court officials disclosed that . young woman bearing a name similar to that of Thurber was found dead on a southern California beach a year ago, and that a man calling himself by one of the Thurber aliases was ques- sioned relative to her death.
 "All details of plot and names of con- spirators," Secretary Hughes telegram to the governor said, "are known to the Rev. Herbert Wilson, of San Diego and Los Angeles, California and fol- lowing were participants in the affair {:
 Miss Grille O'Day, 156 Glendale boulevard, Los Angeles; Big Jeff Bal ron, alias Big Jeff Thimpson, 9S Null berry St., New York City Sloane Cleveland, alias The Kid,' Cleveland, Ohio, now confined in Atlanta peni- tentiary; Michael Oranoff. Apart. Fifty Five, Calle de Pizzaro, Mexico City i; Swede Stefasson, Seaman's institution, New York city; Lesser Robesky, alias The Prowler, East 23rd street, Near Tapeson, Brooklyn; also known in Rochester, N. Y. Please advise as to your wishes in the matter.
 (Signed) Charles E. Hughes,
 Secretary of State."
 Plan Thorough Probe
 Officials of the district attorneys office, pointing that many persons un- der arrest in various parts of the world had implicated themselves in the bomb explosion, said thorough investigation would be made before proceeding for the extradition of Thurber were begun.
 Herbert Wilson, mentioned in the telegram was arrested little less than year ago in Los Angeles and William J. Burns of the United States secret ervice department questioned him there. Later, however, Burns said he was con- vinced Wilson had nothing to do with the plot.

JUDGE sUsPENDs SENTENCE
Salesman Took Orders After Leaving Firms Emnlnv

Firms Employ
 Otis Gibbs, shirt salesman, who was arrested several days ago on a charge of obtaining money under false pre- lenses, was tried before Judge H. B. Abernethy Friday morning and fined $1 and costs, with a suspended sentence of 60 days.
 Gibbs represented himself as a sales man for New York shirt house and spent several days in Birmingham so- liciting orders. When he approached Chief Deputy Sheriff Henry S. Hill for an order, Mir. Hill became suspicious and telegraphed to New York to ascer- tain whether he was authorized to rep resent that company. A telegram in reply informed him Gibbs was no longer connected with the firm and had no authority to solicit orders for it. His arrest then followed.
 Judge Abernethy warned Gibbs that the suspended sentence would be im- posed if the shirts for which he had re- ceived orders did not arrive within a reasonable time.

HINT GRAVE SEQUEL Scotland Yard Unable To Disclose What It Knows Of Case

LONRON, March 4.-Deep mystery and profound secrecy surround Ralph Thurber, prisoner in Pentonville jail, who has confessed to being implicated in the Wall street bomb explosiont in 1920. Thurber claims to be an Amer ican citizen.
 Scotland Yard is very secretive about the case. In fact, as one official, who evidently knows a great deal more about the confession than it is possible for him to admit, said: There is not person, in the whole of England that will talk about the revelations that have been made"
