Birmingham, Ala., July 20.—“Harry Kendall Thaw owes his present pre dlcament to a useless, misguided life.

He was accompanied by Francla P. Gnrvan and A. C. Vandiver, two of his assistants. “There Is no distinction In a felonl ous homicide," said Mr. Jerome, In dis cussing the Thaw-White murder case. "You doubtless have frequent negro murder rases that are traced to Jeal ousy. It is the same knld of Jealousy that burned In Thaw's breast the night he Stepped up behind Stanford White In Madison Garden and sent a bullet ploughing, through his heart. The law has the same punishment for a rich murderer that Is provided for the most vicious negro criminal." The Jerome party was met at the train by a local committee and driven over the Birmingham district Mr. Je rome will be the chief speaker at banquet In his honor at the Country Club tonight.

BUCKET SHOP BILL LI ON THE TABLE AS TACTICAL MOVE The frlenda of the Boykin anti-fu tures blit held an Informal conference Friday morning and agreed that In view of the ellm attendance of mem bers In the house. It would be better to table the bill, rather than Jeopar dise Its passage by letting It go to a vote. Accorlngly, when the VmJ, was reached In Its regular order libber the Mad of unfinished business, Mr. Wright, of Floyd, was recognised by Speaker Slaton, who prefaced his mo tion to table the bill with the state ment that the roll call disclosed the fact that there were 60 members ab sent. “With a full house," said Mr. Wright, “there could be no doubt but that the bill would pass." Anticipating the motion to table, Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, Inquired of Mv. Wright If It would not be better for him to discuss the question, and that perhaps later on there might be such an Increased attendance that a vote could be had on the measure. This did not meet the views qf Mr. Wright, who contended that as the session progressed the house would. In all probability, be more thinned out than now, and that a vote on the measure could scarcely be reached till the afternoon session, when ihere would be but a small margin above a quorum of the members. This measure. In his opinion, was one of transcendent Importance to the state, and he thought the passage of thrs measure of more Importance than all other legislation this house couid enact. If the bill now went to Its passage, falling to get the requisite 18 votes, would be reconsidered, go to the heel of the calendar, and never would be considered. He, therefore, moved to table the bill, which was assented to by an over whelming viva voce vote. L THE MUTUAL LIFE IN OFFICIAL LIST Policy Holders Committee Demands Dropping of Names.
