.sl,OO0,OD0 OFFER
 FOR COURTHOUSE
 IS MADE BOARD
Favor Postponement Ot Sale For Increased
 Price

The county board of revenue has received a tentative offer of $1,000, ,00C for the old courthouse, Captain Lacey Edmundson, president of the board stated Friday. The name of the com pany making the offer, however, was withheld.
 The board, Captain Edmundson, added, does not intend to take any definite action concerning the construc- tion of the new courthouse or the dis posal of the old building until after the first of the year. The reason given for this delay is to ascertain that every step taken is legal.
 The various members of the board have not given voice to definite ex- pression regarding the sale or lease ot the present building, but it is thought that most members favor selling the building outright.
 The latest offer, which was received by Captain Edmundson Friday, was purely tentative, it was said, although the company back of the offer, is will ing to start formal negotiations at once. The members of the board are of the opinion, according to an informal eau cus,, that a still larger sum can be realized if the sale is postponed TOT a few months, because of the rapidity In which Birmingham realty values are increasing.
 The last tentative offer made for the old courthouse, several weeks ago, was $250, 900 less than the present one, Cap- tain EdmundSon said.

.TALLADEGA USES ITS WATER PLANT DESPITE CAVE-IN
Accident Did Not Force Resort To Old System,
 Officials State

TALLADEGA, Ala, Dec. 5.-(Spe- cial. )-Talladega is still being served by its new water system and was not forced as was at first reported to re- sort to its old plant on account of a cave-in of a 100000 gallon storage reservoir according to an official state ment issued today by the city commis- sion.
 Engineers from Atlanta are making an investigation of the accident, and the damage to the city is not expected to be heavy according to the statemen.
 The statement is as follows:
 "A considerable; injustice seems to have been done the city of Talladega in a widely circulated story this morn- ing covering disaster to the city water supply system.
 "This story indicated that the entire new water works system was put out of commission. This is erroneous as the service to the city is absolutely un- impaired. There has been no necessity of resorting to the old water supply and the pure water from the new source is being delivered to the city and has been all the time.
 The reservoir where the accident oc- cured was a supplemental reservoir used for storage of a reserve supply and in no way effects the operation of the plant. The damage, while con siderable, will be repaired as quickly as possible, >ngineers from Atlanta who had charge of the construction of the new plant arrived in Talladega today to undertake the repairs and ascertain the cause of the accident. The total damage will not exceed $5,000, accord ing to conservative estimates"
 While the seservoir is an integral part of the fine new water system it is pointed out that it is not absolutely essential to it's operation. Water can be pumped directly into the filter plant. In this case the pumps would be re- quired to run most of the time instead of occasionally when the supply in the reserve becomes low.

Harrison Speaks In Be- half Of National De-
 fense Measure

Other Alabama Properties ln- cluded In New Workers
  Proposal
fWashington Bureau.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. b. Southern democrats, it de. veloped today as a result 9l the continued Muscle Shoals debate in the senate, will pre- sent an almost united front III support of the national de. fense and fertilizer bill o1 Senator Underwood of Ala bama. That his measure con tains the fertilizer guarantees which the offer of Henry Ford contained, is the reason why certain senators, hitherto hesi' tant, came into camp today.
 Senator Harrison of Mississippi, who smoke in behalf of the Underwood bill Senator Heflin, Alabama, Senator NC. Kellar, of Tennessee, Senator harIis oi Georgia and others indIcaoed rnen In' tention ''of standing with the iarmers as against the special interests.
 Senator Underwood, declaring that ne had good chance to put his measure across, took occasion to deny that ne had interviewed President Coolidge respecting his bill. Report to that effect is in error" he said" did outline my views to Secretary Weeks, and doubt less the secretary explained them to the President, It is certain that the Presi- dent in his message followed fairly accurately the details of my bill.
 Considerable interest was shown Tn tbe attitude of Senator Wadsworth of New York, sponsoring a bid of one of the interests, that of E. H: Hooker and company, which eschews fertilizer, by his introduction today of a bill authorizing of the sale of surplus and useless" war property. Under the terms of the bill, it would be possible for the government to sell nitrate plant number Che and the Waco quarry. Both were declared by Ford to be necessary to him, and it is understood that they would be equally as necessary in the fulfill ment of the conditions of the Under wood bill.
 Other sales in Alabama which the Wadsworth bill would authorize in- clude Fort Morgan, an island in Mo. bile Bay; west side entrance ot Perdido Bay, and Perdio Bay, west and north of Bay Lalaunch.

examination made 45 minutes after the killing by Dr. Lloyd Noland, chief of the Tennessee company health depart ment. They are not worried about the physical facts ascertained and upon which detailed reports have been made. The concern of the state seems to be that of establishing motive for the killing which is being slowly evolved according to well authenticated infor- nation obtained Friday.
 Attorneys for the defense and state moved to Fairfield Friday for the legal battle which is dawning over the deten- ton of Dr. George Edwards on a charge of murdering his wife.
 Solicitor Ben Perry of the Bessemer office Friday admitted that facts had developed which he was certain would establish a motive for the killing of Mrs. Edwards.
 Later Developments
 Other developments of the day were :

MOVE TO DUST AUBURN CHIEF GAINS MOMENTUM
Gadsden And Talladega Alumni Join Fight On
 DOWeIl

The movement launched in Birming- ham Thursday night by more than POO Auburn alumni to oust President Spright Dowell and reorganize the athletic staff, gathered momentum in Gadsden and Talladesa Friday and showed unmistakable signs of spreading rapidly to other sections of the state.
 Gadsden alumni, led by School Su- perintendent c. A. Donohoo and c. S. Culver. adopted resolutions urging i'm mediate action by the board of trustees and the athletic board. The vote against Dr. Dowell was s to 4, while the vote for an athletic house-cleaning' was II to 1.
 In Talladega, a session of alumni as. sociation members declared in a resolu. tion that Dr. Dowell has failed miser. ably" and urged the board of trustees to request his resignation, effective June 1, 1925, in order that "a man of much larger and broader vision, more educational ability and more courage may be elected to succeed him. Hugh F. McElderry, head of the Talladega Fertilizer company, was chairman of the meeting and the first signer of the resolution.
 Tells Of Plans
 Telegrams which poured in to leaders of the Birmingham alumni unit told of plans in many other towns and cities to hold early meetings and vote on similar resolutions.
 Meanwhile, Henry T. DeBardeleben industrial leader and president of the Jefferson County Alumni association will head a committee of Birming- ham Alumni Saturday in a visit tc Gov. w. w. Brandon to present thu

Attorneys Move To Fair field For Impending
 Legal Battle

An eyewitness to the murder of Mrs. George T. Edwards at her home, 4o24 Valley Road early last Tuesday morn ing is now being sought by agents work ing out of the solicitors office of the Bessemer circuit court.
 The existence of such a person is not doubted by the officials in charge of the investigation.
 Ia the meanwhile, information that fingerprints found on bottle of chlorO- form in Dr. Edwards room" shortly after his call for help brought neigh bors and special officers to the scene of the crime. had been identified as his own, has left the doctor un- moved. He would rather not discuss the case, he says.
 Edwards is being held in the Besse- mer jail on a coroner's warrant charg- ing him with the death of his wife.
 The state investigators are bending every possible effort to locate the man who is said to be an employe of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company on his way to the plant at 4 o'clock Tuesday morning. This witness is said to have been traced through some neighbors who gave the solicitors representatives information that is expected to go long way to- wards clearing up the baffling mystery.
 New Facts Uncovered
 Investigators for the Tennessee con- pany have taken the lead in the develop ment of Friday. They are said to have uncovered and presented to the officials interesting facts which are entirely new in the case and absolutely foreign to the present known circumstances. The facts were withheld from reporters, but it is lelieved clues leading outside of Birmingham will be traced down during the next 24 hours.
 It is stated that no possible chance exists that further autopsy will be made of the body of Mrs. Edwards. The officials are entirely satisfied with the

BRITAIN DECIDES
 ON INDIAN BASE
Baldwin GOvernme e n t Overrules Labor Bloc
 In Naval Project
u,eased Wire to Age.Herald)

LONDON, Dec. 5.-Despite uncon- cealed opposition in Japan and out spoken criticism of the project by the entire labor party in England, rein forced by some liberals of the left, Premier Stanley Baldwin's conserva- five government has determined to pro ceed with the construction of a great naval base at Singapore where the waters of the Pacific meet the South China sea and the Bay of Bengal
 Singapore is just on the outer fringe of the area where unrestricted invest ments in armaments were prescribed Dy the Washington arms conference. were Singapore a few miles north of it's pre- sent location, Japanese statesmen could check the construction from their of ficers in Tokio as easily as Baldwin can start it from Downing street.
 Foreign Policy Clear
 Renewed activity at Singapore clear ly defines the foreign policy of the conservative party which has achieved office with majority in the house of commons so vast that the conservative will is to be Great Britain's will for the next four of five years. Baldwin is ready and axious to expend vast sums of British gold in order to afford protection for the outlying posts of the empire.
 The Singapore dock and naval base is primarily an insurance against dis ruptiOn of the empire trade routes. It guarantees the safety of Australia, insofar as the British navy can guar antee it. against peaceful or warlike penetration from the yellow races with which Australia is almost surrounded. Base construction at Singapore means that the conservative government is de- termined to possess naval base in the Orient from which the Great British battle fleet could operate in time of war, obtain coal, and, if necessary, so into dock for repairs.

Important Developments Of Friday Withheld
 From Reporters

chloroform and attempting the same ac- tion on himself.
 The dismissal by Solicitor Perry of the suggestion that an autopsy was necessary over the remains of Mrs. Edwards and his discounting also Of the theory that a man, shot through the left shoulder, might have some knowl- edge of the murder.
 Investigators are said to have been advised that the finger prints on the bottle of bulk chloroform are those of Dr. Edwards. Prints could not be made l from thu smaller bottle of the drug which was discovered in the room after the murder.
 | Although the home has been open and 1 accessible, not only to reporters, but to casual visitors, it was tightly closed Friday. after George Ross. attorney for the defense, had visited the scene with private investigators.
 From the maze of fanciful theories devolping from the murder, it was de termined Friday that a neighbor who was awake early Tuesday morning heard what she declares was probably the death blow delivered to Mrs. Edwards. This neighbor also says she heard all the shots fried; that there were only three and that no person emerged from the rear door of the home as claimed by Dr. Edwards. She declares the Edwards home was brightly lighted.
 Probe Bullet Hole
 Tennessee company investigators are said to have determined that the mysterious fourth bullet hole did not fit 3S calibre bullet and that the size of the hole obviously has been in- creased by the insertion of some instru- ment. It is known that the solicitors office is giving deep thought to the circumstances concerning the reported enlargement of the bullet hole.
 Sheriff Shirley and Deputy Hirl are making personal investigation of every angle of the crime.
