understood, is term not to be care

TO HAVE ASSISTANT
 SUPERINTENDENT
THE FRISCO SYSTEM ANNOUNCES THAT IT WILL FURNISH AN Ac- QUESTION TO RAILROAD LIFE OF BIRMINGHAM,

MT. B. L. Winchell. vice president and general manager of the Frisco system announced yesterday that his company would establish an assistant superintend- ent's office in Birmingham on July l. Asked If the man who would fill the new position had been selected he replied that Superintendent H. M. Fickinger hau the matter in charge and would select a good assistant.
 Mir. Fickinger, who accompanied MT. Winchell to Birmingham said last night that he had two or three names under consideration for the position of assist ant superintendent, but that he would not be ready to make a choice for sev- eral days yet.
 "A transportation office here will be an accommodation to the patrons of the road in this district, and 1t will also be of great beneAt to the company" said Mir Fickinger. we have long need ed an assistant superintendent in Bir- minsham and the business of the road is growing so fast that the matter could not be postponed any longer"
 MT. Fickinger has not secured an of- flee. but will probably do so before he leaves.
 The new official will bring two or three clerks with him and in the course Of time the office force will be increased. This move on the part of the Frisco system will be a decided acquisition to the railroad life of Birmingham and 1t Is believed that before a great while a traffic office with a general title will be added to the Frisco staff at this end of the line.

CONFERENCE AGAIN TODAY

The Hillman swarmed with railroad officials yesterday and the lobby last night had the air of a live railroad cen- ter. No less than twenty railroad men, including several attorneys. were group ed there at one time.
 Mir. H. M. Atkinson, who sold the Belt Line to the Frisco System week be- fore last arrived from Atlanta wednes- day night. Mir. B. L. Winchell, vice pres ident and general manager Of the Frisco System, accompanied by large party 6f officials of that company arrived from St. Louis yesterday morning at 10 o'clock and later in the day MT. J. M. Barr, vice president and general manager of the Seaboard Air Line, arrived from the south over the Louisville and Nashville from Montgomery.

 In the afternoon MT. Barr and MT. Winchell had a conference and it was naturally surmised that questions relat- ing to the rights of the Seaboard and the Belt were discussed. Neither MT. Barr nor MT. Winchell had anything to give out for publication as to the sub stance of their conference. It is known, however, that they adjourned their dis cussion until today, and 1t may be that before these officials leave Birmingham they will agree upon the terms of a settlement of the differences between the Seaboard and the Belt Line,
 It was thought few days ago that MT. B. F. Yoakum, president of the Frisco System. would be in Birmingham this week, but business detains him in St Louis and Mir winchell comes to rep resent him It was also thought that Chairman Bixby of the American Car and Foundry Company would come with the party and take up the business of locating a car plant here. MT. Winchell said that MT. Bixby was giving the car plant project a great deal of considera- ton.
 Such plant as Mir. Bixby has in mind would be a big thing for this city" said MT. Winchell land if Mr. Bixby cannot find it convenient to get here soon the business men of Birmingham could well afford to send a committee after him"
 The. Frisco officials are travelling in their private cars. Most of them are reg istered at tho Hilinan. but MT. B1oi1inger and two or three or the party are living on one of the cars

 Death will probably be caused by in- ternal bleeding as the pistol was of small calibre and the blood cannot pass out of the body through tho wound 1t made. The negro is in the hospital at the city jail.
 The shooting occurred on Alley G near Fifteenth street. The negro had sack with six chickens in 1t. The policeman called on him to halt but the negro started to run. One of the chickens has been identified.

servation of constitutional liberty wherever our flag floats. We are opposed to the permanent policy of this govern ment to the maintenance of dependent colonies to be governed outside of the pale of the constitution.
 I've are all agreed that the civil power should always be superior to the military power.
 "We all concur in the principle that public taxation should be imposed for public purposes only.
 We all favor freedom of commerce and therefore favor genuine reciprocity with foreign nations, but are all opposed to sham Republican reciprocity which Is only another name for Republican hypoc- risy.
 There Is no division in sentiment in our opposition to corporate combinations of capital, which create monopolies, stihe competition and unreasonably enhance prices for the necessaries of life.
 Stand for Free Trade.
 We all stand for free trade in all arti- cles controlled by the trusts. We all stand where Jackson, Benton and Til- den stood in favor of hard money, as opposed to irredeemable paper currency. We all recognize the dignity of labor and it's right to demand Just and adequate compensation. We all are opposed to an immense standing army in times of peace We are all in favor of the con- stitutional reform involved in the cleo ton of United States senators by the people of the several States rather than by State legislators. We all adhere to the doctrine declared by Jefferson as follows: Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none."
 with this substantial unity which ex- ists upon these ard other fundamental principles of Democratic faith, to which reed not refer, we may safely appeal to the people; and in view of that satis- factory situation 1t would be folly to able questions"
 MT. Hill concluded with welcome to Democrats from other states, saying:
 'The Democracy of this state welcome the distinguished citizen of New Jersey the only living ex-President of the United States.
 We would be glad to welcome that other distinguished Democrat who halls from the great West-our honored stand ard bearer in the last two Presidential elections-that able and eloquent Demo cratic orator. MT. Bryan of Nebraska had he been able to be present On this occasion.

Wo are exciud- ing no man or set of men from the party councils. We have not set oaths to ad- minister to those we wish 70 join us. We need recruits for our cause snd our Dem ocratic doors are thrown wide open"
