CANNOT GET CLERK.
Underwood Says That Mail Would Be
 Facilitated.

When Congressman Oscar w. Under wood was asked last night if he would aid the Board of Trade in it's efforts to get a mail clerk on the Alabama Great Southern train from Birmingham to Sell ma, he said he made such an effort sew eral months ago and that investigation showed it would not facilitate the deliv- cry of the mail to have the clerk.
 MT. Underwood said that when the train was first started he communicated with Fourth Assistant Postmaster Btis- tow relative to putting a clerk on the train An inspector was sent to Selma to investigate the matter and his report was that the mail would not be delivered any more rapidly than at present. It also showed that all the mail as far as Akron was worked and that there was not sufficient mail from Akron to Bir- mingham to warrant a clerk.
 MT. Underwood further stated he did not mention the mater at the time as he did not care anything about 1t unless 1t was secured.

MUST KEEP MOVING.
PedIers Can Only Make One Sale In
 Same Place.

According to the ruling of Acting Re- corder McCrossin yesterday in two cases peddlers cannot. make two sales at the same place on the street. He construed the city ordinance to mean that a ped- dler must keep moving and not stop to make more than one sale. The decisions were rendered in two cases for obstruct- ing the sidewalk.
 Under his ruling Chief Austin can without trouble clear the streets of sev- eral varieties of merchants who are fre- quently complained against because they block the sidewalks and streets. Tn rem dering the decisions the judge stated that 1t made no difference how the license of the peddler read; that the ordinance. as he construed it, meant they must move after each sale.

 President Don H. Bacon of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company left yesterday afternoon for New York.

Just as lie was taking the train he was asked if he had any state ment to make concerning the situation and his reply was in the negative.

CARS COLLIDE.
Motorman Could Not See On Account
 of Dense Fog.

Two street cars on the Pewderly divis- lon of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company collided yesterday morning about 6 o'clock at a station just beyond the ball park The occupants of both cars were badly shaken up, but no one injured severely. Oscar Venable sustained a sprain of the leg and was probably the worst injured of the pas sengers.
 The accident was probably due to dense fog which made it impossible for the motormen to see many car lengths ahead. The incoming car was loaded with workmen. It was in charge of Motorman T. s. Price and Conductor J. w. Stephenson. The outgoing car was In charge of Motorman A. M. Dupuy and Conductor Jerry Scroggins.

A MATER OF PROFIT.


 Among expressions heard yesterday re- lative to the grade crossing problem, were the following:
 "J. B. Gibson-I believe a viaduct should be put across the railroad tracks on First avenue from Twenty-seventh street to the eastern end of the coke ovens and that Eighteenth and Twen- tieth streets should either be bridged or tunnelled. The street car company and the railroads would pay the cost of the viaduct at the sloss furnaces by the saving of wear and tear on the crossings and the time required to stop and flag the crossings. What they saved from not having damage suits would be clear profits"
 c. E. Thomas: "Gates at grade cross ings would prevent accidents, and the city council should require the railroads to install them without delay.
