MASS MEETING
Will Be Held to Discuss the Bast ball
 Situation.

Because the local base ball situation has been referred to Coroner Alex Dallas it does not necessarily follow that it is "dead issue," for in the light of the latest developments it has much the appearance the most enthusiastic fans in the city, in of being lively corpse.
 The coroner, who. by the way, is one of the most enthusiastic "fans" in the city in his unofficial capacity yesterday received letter from Allan L. Eaton, at New Or leans, in which the local situation was fully explained, and urging that prompt action be taken towards raising the necessary funds if Birmingham cared to "get in the game"
 Mr Eaton writes that Frank Haller has been on the lookout for players for the past five weeks and is prepared to put an Al team in Birmingham upon a $1,000 salary limit.
 Mr. Dallas immediately started among the enthusiasts and in a short time had consulted with several gentlemen who have been identified with the sport in the past with the result that a meeting has been called for Saturday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the office of M. J. Gregg 2091a Nineteenth street for the purpose of taking preliminary steps towards the organization of local association, which will be given the fran chse.
 The Traction company has offered to build a park at North Birmingham and otherwise aid in the formation of a club. This proposition, together with any propo- sition that the Birmingham Railway and Electric company may make will be pre- sented to the meeting Saturday afternoon. It is more than probable that sufficient money will be forthcoming to justify per- manent organization.

TREATY EXPIRED.
United States Criminals in Mexico May
 Now Rest in Peace.

Washington, January 25.-The Mexican extradition treaty expired at midnight last night, according to the notice given by the Mexican government Its lapse finds re- markedly small number of fugltives from justice in either country to profit by the fact. So far as known at the state depart ment, Santiago Morphy is the only Mexican fugitive now at large in the United States. He made a sensational escape from the Mexican chief of police in New Orleans just one day before the treaty expired. In Mexico there is one American, James Tenn pie who Is technically fugitive from jus tce and against whom extradition proceed- ings are now in progress, the charge being unlawful homicide, and in his case there is reason to believe Mexico may grant extra dition.
 The hiatus following the lapse of this ex- tradition treaty is deplored on both sides and on each side an earnest disposition is being shown to displace the old treaty with a new one to be concluded by Powell Clay ton, our representative at the City of Mex leo, and the Mexican foreign minister, Senor Mariscal. Fair progress has been made on a new treaty, though 1t is no easy task to reconcile the radical difference of opinion between the two governments in the defini- ton of political or revolutionary crimes which may be subject to evtradition.

HEROINE ROBSON.
Richmond P's. Sister Demonstrates That
 She Also is Brave.

Jackson, Miss, January 25.-Miss Annie Hobson, of Greensboro, Ala, sister of Lieu tenant Hobson of Merrimac fame, and who has been the guest of her cousin, Miss Kate Porter, In this city, for several days, proved herself a -.eroine in an exciting runaway this afternoon, seemingly demonstrating that a streak of courage runs through the Hobson family. Miss Hobson had mounted a fiery Kentucky thoroughbred for dash across the country.
 She had progressed only short distance down West street from the Porter residence when the horse became frightened and, getting the bits between his teeth, dashed away at terrific speed. The plucky girl realized her danger and held on to the reins with death-l.Ke grip, at the same time try ing to stop the frightened animal. Her es- cort, Joe Porter, was in close pursuit. The race continued for seven blocks and several corners were turned that would have un- seated an ordinary horse-woman. The horse was finally stopped near the city hall
