RELEASED FROM PRISON
M. Ollandorf Alias "Sheeny Mike" Es-
 tablished His Alibi

M. Ollandorf, alias "Sheeny Mike" who was arrested in Nashville and brought to Birmingham by Chief of Police Austin on suspicion of being New York Harry" one of the members of the gang of safe rob bers, was released from prison yesterday, having through his attorney, M. M. Ull- man. established an alibi
 Ollandorf's case was investigated by the grand jury. and as it was shown that he was in jail in this city at the time the robberies of the Avondale and Woodlawn postoffices were committed, in which he was thought to have participated, the case was dropped.
 Chief Austin appeared in the inferior criminal court yesterday and asked that Ollandorf be released stating there was no evidence to connect him with any of the crimes recently committed.
 The prisoner, who is a hard nut, and who, through the good auspices of At torney JTllman and the local Jewish Relief society furnished transportation, has dur ing his incarceration braggingly referred to the fact that his principal business was that of beating charitable societies.
 Notwithstanding this fact Attorney UIlman used his influence to secure him transportation to Nashville, and he left for that city on the afternoon train.

HITCH IN PROCEEDINGS
Republicans in Kentucky Refuse to
 Sign Agreement

Frankfort. Ky. April 12.-A hitch oc- cured today in the negotiations which have been in progress for several days between the attorneys on both sides, hay ing for their object a speedy adjudication of all the contests for state offices As a result it is probable the suits of the demo- cratic contestants for the minor offices will have to take their regular course through the court of appeals and to the supreme court.
 The republicans today refused to sign an agreement which had been drawn up at conferences in which they participated providing for an agreed case before the circuit court to determine the title to the minor offices, which case was to have been pressed to a hearing so that 1t might be taken to the United States supreme court with the case involving the governorship. The reason given by the attorneys is that some of the republicans would not sign the agreement. rss

 'I am in position to state positively that more than 90 per cent of the telegraphers quit work, the claims of the company to the contrary notwithstanding The of ficials have picked up a few boy operators and students and inexperienced men, and are sending them out on the line, but they are incapable of handling train orders, and the company will no doubt find their serv- ices unsatisfactory"

On the An niston Division

Selma, April 12.-(Special.)-Th operators on the Anniston division of the Southern began walking out this afternoon. While the strike has not yet become general the railroad officials think that by tomor- row night there will be but few who are not members of the order that are at work
 At Marion Junction, an important sta- ton, where are three branch roads, on which number trains are run, the operator nailed up a red board. which caused great delay for every train. There are but two or three men at work on the road between here and Mobile.
 In the chief dispatchers office here the entire force is still at work but it is thought by railroad men that the night man will walk out when it is time for him to go to work.

REPORT AS TO EFFECT
 Ar WIDE VARIANCE
Railroad Officials Claim That Ten Per Cent. of the Men Are Out, While TeIcgra-
 phers Claim Ninety Per Cent.

Atlanta, Ga, April 12.-The telegraphers on the Southern railway system who are members of the Order of Railway Tele- graphers were ordered on strike by Presi- dent Powell at Il o'clock this morning. The Southern railway officials claim to- night that but 10 per cent of the men have quit work while President Powell says that 90 per cent. of them are out. There has been considerable delay to both pas senger and freight traffic, but the effect of the walk out is not yet known to the extent which would warrant an assertion as to the situation.
 The railroad authorities have received no definite advices and the statements of the teegraphers and their employers differ widely. In Atlanta ten men quit, but their places were filled. From the best informa- tion obtainable five men out on the Greenville division, three on the Chatta- nooga line and four the Macon short line.
 It was ascertained at midnight that the officials of the Southern, anticipating the strike of the telegraphers, gave orders several days ago that in case of a walk out freight trains be held up and that the engineers run their trains by the card schedule. This bears out MT. Powelps assertion that freight traffic is completely tied up and explains the delay to the pas senger trains
 Places Filled
 It was given out tonight at the office of Assistant General Superintendent Thomp- son of the Southern that the places of the seven men who had struck in Atlanta had been filled and that the dspatchers on all divisions centering here are at work. No serious delay, the officials say, has been caused, excepting in the cases of the Wash ington limited, due here at D. m, and a local passenger which left this morning for Richmond The Washington limited arrived four hours and half late and the Richmond local was taken near Cor nelia, Ga., by the vestibule, which left here for Washington at noon.
 MT Powell, president of the Order of Railway Photographers, gave out the follow ing statement tonight:
 Reports from every division of the Southern Railway show that the entire system, with the exception of tel Louis- yille branch is tied up completeiy so far as freight trains are concerned and that passenger trains are being run only under great difficulty. All passenger trains are from three to seven hours late and are making very slow time.
 "Our members on the Birmingham, Knoxville. Charlotte, Danville Chatta- nooga, Asheville, Washington, Columbia Raleigh and Lynchburg divisions wire that the condition of affairs is very encourage Ing to the men, and that fully 90 per cent of the telegraphers and dispatchers are on a strike On the Alabama Great South ern all the men struck except one north of Birmingham. The road from Birming- ham to Meridian is completely tied up. One freight train has been standing ten miles from Birmingham since 10 o'clock this
