EXPORT TRADE IS
 BADLY CRIPPLED Lack of Bottoms Has Retarded
 Shipments. ALABAMA IRON IN DEMAND Large Offering Made to Companies Sail ing tFrom Southern Ports-Mr. Bowron's Trip Abroad to Se-
ALABAMA IRON IN DEMAND

A new impetus has recently been given the European demand for Alabama iron, but the lack of shipping facilities has pre- vented the acceptance of many orders. The average exports for the post few months has been about 15O00 tons per month, but it is stated on good authority that a much greater amount could have been exported had there been a sufficient number of bot toms to carry it across the Atlantic.
 An Age-Herald reporter was informed yesterday that several thousand tons of pig iron had been offered to one of the rail- roads if it's agents would undertake to as- sure it's transportation to Europe. The mat ter was taken up by the officials of the road, and several of the steamship com panies running vessels from southern ports to Liverpool, Hamburg, Genoa Priest, and other European ports were communicated with. The agents of these companies at the various southern ports referred the matter to their general officers, and an- swers from them are expected soon With the large amount of offerings and the reg ularity of shipments to follow, it is very likely that the ocean transportation com panies will press into service every avail able vessel and otherwise do their utmost to carry all the iron offered.
 It is stated that the present trip of Vice President Bowron of the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Company is partly for the purpose of interviewing European ship owners, with view of influencing them to take a greater tonnage of iron than they have heretofore evinced a willingness to do.
 The export shipments from the Birming- ham district in May were approximately 1S,- GOO tons, and those in position to know, say that if the necessary facilities had been available, nearly that much more would have gone from the district. The present demand for iron is much better in Europe than in the United States, and it is claimed that the Alabama masters have a chance to supply good portion of this demand at practically the American quotations, if they had assurances of being able to make the deliveries on contract time. Alabama iron has been thoroughly tested in the Eu- ropean iron centers, and everywhere that 1t has been used it has given the greatest satisfaction.

RUNNING TIME
 TO BE REDUCED
Southern Will Shorten Time
 Birmingham to GreenviIIe
REDUCED RATES TO WEST
A. G, s. Chosen as Official Route to the Meeting ofB. Y. P. U. in Cincin- nati-Number Passenger
 Agents in the City

It is stated that the Southern Railway contemplates shortening the running time of it's passenger trains between Birming- ham and Greenvile, Miss. Scattered along the line between this city and Greenville are a score or more of stations where an average of not more than one or two per- sons a week get on the train, notwithstand- ing which they are regular stopping places, and all passenger trains must stop at each of them whether there is any one at the depot not. In making all of these stops the trains lose fully an hour between Bir mingham and Greenvlle.
 The officials of the road, it is stated, have taken steps to ascertain if there is post office at each of these places, and if so, if there is a grab. It is believed that they will supply grabs at such places as now have none and that all places without postoffice will be taken off the passenger time table, or made flag stations.
 Rates to the West
 The Southern Railway and the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham have an- nounced reduced rates to Colorado points and to Salt Lake City. The tickets will be sold on June 19, July s, 16 and 91, with final limit to October 31, at the following rates: To Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Denver, $4050; to Glennwood Springs, $52.5O to Salt Lake City and ogden, s5S.5O.

 A. G. s. Official Route
 Arrangements have been made whereby tickets sold to Cincinnati on account of the meeting of the Association of the Bap- tist Young Peoples Union July 12-14 will be extended to August 1, provided the tickets are deposited with the joint agent at Cincinnati not later than July Il and is accompanied with a payment of 50 cents at the time of deposit State Transporta- ton Leader Eddins of Tuscaloosa has an- nounced the Alabama Great Southern as the official route for this state, and that the delegates from the state will leave on No. ? on the morning of July Il, arriving in Cincinnati that evening.

Justice of the Peace Lockard
this morning took Clarence Bart
lett to Canon City, where he was
arraigned before Judge Bailey, a,
10 O'Clock, to explain why he
would not go to school. The boy
is student in the West End
school and lately has been playing
truant. He was so overcome by
the habit that he very rarely at
tended at all. AS result of the
examination this morning the
judge was convinced that a tern
in the reform school either at Gold,
en- or Buena Vista, would convince
him, by the time he was released
that education is all essential.
Judge Lockard informs THT
TRIBUNE that there a number OF
other boys who are not attending
school regularly and that they are
on the brink of meeting with the
same fate.
The names of the boys will be
for the present, withheld, but
should the practice be continued
their names will appear in print
and action will be taken against
them.
