Stubs, vice president of the Southern
Pacific, whose appointment as traffic.
manager of the vast system of rail-
roads controlled by the Hartman in-|
terest is announced from Chicago, has
arrived in this city. In speaking of
the innovation to be introduced in rail
road methods by the creation of the
position to which he has just beerl
appointed, Mr.. STUDIOS explained theI
matter by saying that Mr.. Hartman
had been considering for some time
the feasibility and probability of man.
aging the traffic of the lines in which,
he is interested and has evolved a planJ
which, in Harriman's opinion, ought
to accomplish the heretofore IMPOSES
BILE task of h%armonizing the interests
OF the several Hartman roads. AsI
Mr.. Stubs puts it, it is a plan to BRING
about a unification of interests with
a reduction of friction and the elimina-I
ton of unnecessary competition with
out consolidating the properties underI
one management. Under this plan]
one man is to have entire charge oil
the traffic of the several corporations
and in order effectuaily to divorce thei
traffic from the other affairs Of the9
road this official will report directly
to the board. This power and respo4-s
sibility, comparable tt no other in The!
history of railroading, was offered to Mr.
Stubbs, and he accepted. The plan is!
an absolutely new one in railroading.l

STRANGE ROBBERY AT TOLEDO.
Pacific Express Safe Found Broken
Open and Empty.

SPCb Al [IhPSys
Toledo, O., June 21.-Yesterday aft
ernoon several fishermen. while stroll
ing along the river two miles south Of
this city, discovered a large iron safe,
on which was the name of the Pacific
Express company. The door apparent.
ly had been battered in with a hammer.
On the inside were a number of empty
money bags and waybills. The police
and local officers of the express com
pany were at once notified. The eX-
press clerks stated that such a safe
was sent out of this city Tuesday night
in a through car on the Wabash for
St. Louis and Omaha, but declined to
say what it contained. There were
six money bags in the safe when found,
four marked ST. Louis and two marked
Omaha. They do not indicate what
their contents might have been. 1t is
believed that the safe vas stolen We'd
nesday night, because of the fact that
nea the place where it was found a
horse and buggy, which had been stol.
en- the previous evening, was also
found.
1t is thought that the men hauled
the safe in this rig. 1t is reported

children are subject to a collision any day, between street car and railroad, caused by the misunderstanding of signals. I know that this can occur. I have frequently driven across Twentieth street, and rail- road crossing and thatl I was earefu in in looking out for the red flag, yet, in more than one instance, I have driven almost across the track and have had the red flag waved in my face, and was forced to either check and turn quickly, or drive across in front of a moving train. This, in itself, indicated clearly, to my mind, that the fagman was giving the train the right of-way, regardless of the number of people approaching the crossing. 1 also remember of attempting to pass this same crossing, a few months ago, in company with Mrs. Mayberry, in our carriage. We were com ing from the Highlands to the city. The first hagman waved us across, and just as we had reached point opposite the new L. 7s N. depot, the fagman had already commenced to wave the red flag, indicating an approaching passenger train, which passed in front of us swiftly, and just be- hind us the other flagman had allowed an- other train to pass. My driver had the horses under thorough control, and while they were restless, yet, he was able to manage them, but Mrs Mayberry and got out of the carriage. This, is simply one of the many experiences that we have had, and I am certain that there are thousand people in Birmingham who can relate facts that should justify our city in demanding protection to it's people.
 I do not believe that 1 am kicker" or unusually nervous, even when forced to en- dure the chance of becoming seriously in- jured, if not losing my life, as in the case of the Pratt "Y" accident yet, my experi- ence with the crossing has thoroughly convinced me that delay in adjusting this protection to the people of Birmingham, is dangerous and immediate steps should be taken to force the railroad people to give proper protection.

FULL REHEARSAL
Of May Festival Chorus for leonora
 Jackson Concert

Last night the May Festival chorus had a. full rehearsal of the music to be sung at the Leonora Jackson concert, which takes place at the Auditorium next Thurs day night Over a hundred singers were present and MT. Guckenberger said he had never on any former occasion had better results.
 .'Fair Ellen was sung with uncommon spirit and smoothness and Hail, Bright Abode" was also we'll done. The "Whlrl and Twrl' music from Wagner's Flying Dutchman" for women's voices was care fully practiced and with one more rehear- sal 1t will be sung to perfection.
 "Whirl and Twirl' was studied and mas tered by this chorus last spring with view of performing it at the May Festival. But the director of the Boston Festival Orches- tra failed to bring the music for his band, which was to play the accompani- ment, and on that account this lovely num- Der had to be omitted. Another number was omitted for a similar reason and in settling with the Boston organization the Birmingham Music Festival Association de- ducted $2O0 from the bill.
 The "Whirl and TwirP' song will be per formed in Birmingham in public for the first time next Thursday night.
 There will be full chorus rehearsal to- morrow night
