RIVfL TURFMAN
 WILL. WAGE WAR
THE WESTERN JOCKEY CLUB AND THE AMERICAN TURF CONGRESS FAIL TO GET TOGETHER. FOR
 MFR coNcEDEs DEMANDS.

Louisville, November 13.-The Courier Journal tomorrow will say:
 Louisville last night was the storm center in the turf war between the West ern Jockey Club and the American Turf Congress. An important conference was held at Seelbach's Hotel, which was se- cret, but 1t can be stated that the indi- cations point to war to the knife between these two bodies
 The Western Jockey Club will hold its annual meeting at Chicago On December IA, and it has invited representatives of the American congress to be present on that day to try to settle the differences between these two racing bodies. Capt. c. A. Tiles of St. Louis, the head of the racing syndicate of Tiles, Adler & Celia of St. Louis will represent the turf con gress at that meeting.
 Captain Tiles will asked for certain concessions from the Western Jockey Club, and if they are not granted the Turf Congress will continue to hold its meetings as heretofor and will pay no attention to the Chicago body or its rul- ings. The concessions that will be asked for arc that all horsemen, owners. jock eys, trainers and horses, as well as all others connected with the American Turf Congress be put in good standing; that there be an equitable distribution of rac- ing dates, and that where racing associa- tions have plants in close proximity to each other they shall; decide on their dates themselves, each looking at the matter from business standpoint and agreeing among themselves as to which dates each shall have.
 It was stated that as a peace offering the Western Jockey Club had offered the turf congress people the vacancy in the board of stewards left vacant by Robert Aull who was compelled to step out when the St. Louis Fair Grounds Asso- citation stepped down and out from that | body. As the case stands the turf con- gross people want two stewards on the board to represent their interests at all | times.
 | It is said the, Western Jockey Club has | already conceded to all demands of the 1 turf congress and now demands the same | from the opposition
 Captain Tiles left for St. Louis late tonight but said if all the concessions
 were not granted the situation in the West would remain exactly where it is | today-in a chaotic state.

BESSEMER
City Council Gives Street Railroad
 Contract for Lighting City.

Bessemer, November 13.-(Special) The Council chamber at the city hall was filled last night on the occa- sion of the called meeting of the City Council with citizens interested in the proposed change In the route by which the Powderly division of the new cleo tric line to be built by the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power Con- pany is to enter the city. The line now enters along Carolina avenue and it was proposed to abandon this route in favor of Dartmouth avenue. The change was opposed by number Of citizens, and as each side had many adherents a section was framed and added to the constitution which ar ranged for line to enter along both avenues, making a loop, cars to alter nate between the two in entering and leaving town. This provision will please all. B. F. Roden of Birming- ham was present and represented the company.
 The contract with the same com pany for lighting the city was closed. It was one of the liveliest meetings held for some time and lasted until late hour.
 There was large attendance at the meeting of the library committee held this morning at the residence of Mrs. D. H. Lopez. It was decided to order about forty new works of fiction, which will soon be found on the shelves of the library. The commit tee also decided to give an entertain ment on the night of the 27th at the city hall. All religious denominations will participate and it is hoped to raise large sum for the library, which is greatly in need of funds.
 Miss Ackenhauser of Ensley, who formerly resided here, has accepted a position in the postoffice. Miss Ackerhauser has had previous experi- ence in this work The additional work entailed on the office here by the centering of five routes of the rural mail service necessitated a larger force.
 The ladies of the Presbyterian Church are preparing for large ba- zaar to be given shortly for the pur- pose of raising funds to help in fur nishing the new manse, which will soon be completed.

SHOWER OF STARS
 FAILED TO FALL
THE ASTRONOMER AND OTHERS
 WATCHED THROUGH A WEARY NIGHT WITHOUT REWARD-TWo
 NIGHTS MORE OF EXPECTANCY

Star shooting experts did some hard calculations but Birmingham failed to get her share of the meteoric shower scheduled by the astronomers for last night. Thirty-three years have elapsed since the myriad of stars fell from the constellation Leonis and lighted up the heavens, and a reappearance of the phenomenon is due.
 For two nights every observatory in the United States has been filled with anxi- ous astronomers awaiting the pyrotech- nic display of the heavens, and hundreds of these experts have gone to bed disap- pointed but hopeful that the show would begin the following night. The shooting stars were expected last night and will be looked for tonight and Friday night, and if they do not begin operations by Saturday night all calculations are wrong. The thirty-three years will have elapsed exactly at 1 o'clock tonight, though the experts have taken two dxys each way as a safe margin.
 The stars falling from the constella- | tion Leonis are known as Leonids and | when the shooting begins they traverse | the heavens at a rate of 200 per minute, somewhat resembling luminous hail. They are first seen to the northeast and are not far from the Dipper. The con stellation can be located by using the handle of the Dipper as a pointer. They will be found in the shape of a sickle with bright star called Regulus at the outer end of the handle.
 Persons wishing to observe the phe- nomenon will have to stay up until o'clock and possibly until 8 o'clock in the morning Keep this up three nights and If the display begins astronomers and old men say the sight is well worth seeing. If none of the stars leave their places and begin a chase around Leonis and the big Dipper within the prescribed time doctors say 1t is better to go to bed and | forget it.

MISS WAckERMAN INSANE.
Wandering AimIessIy Through London
 and Was Finally Arrested.

London, November 13.-Miss Vanderbilt Wackerman of New York; who came into prominence last winter by threatening Hubert Herkimer, the artist with a suit for damages because he refused to al- low her to complete sittings for a paint ing of her which he had begun, was taken to St. Giles Infirmary today as a wan dering lunatic. She will probably be ex- amined tomorrow.
 Miss Wackerman has been staying at the Hotel Cecil for fortnight and until last night she did not attract any atten- ton. She then insisted in wandering into the court yard of the hotel bareheaded and during the night she went out into the streets without a hat, wearing a loose black tea gown, and wandered aimlessly about, attracting crowds. Today she was brought back to the Hotel Cecil in a hysterical condition, and the management handed her over to the police.
