Hundred and Fourteen Tax Payers in Attack. SUIT CAME UP YESTERDAY Defendant Refused to Pay
 Paving Assessment. South Court, Lawrence, Clayton, Hol- combe and Other Pavements
 Involved in the Contest
 Now Being Heard.

The validity and constitutionality of ''The Baby Bond Act" under which the city of Montgomery Is authorized to as- sess property owners for paving without regard to benefit. Is involved In the suit of the City Council of Montgomery vs Ella Moore, argued before Judge A. ID. Sayre yesterday in the City Court in equity.
 The suit is a test case pure and simple, and 113 other cases exact in ever particu- lar will be decided with 1t. The case involves the paving on South Court, Lawrence, Clayton, Holcombe and possi- bly other streets.
 The suit came up yesterday in the Chancery Court room before Judge Sayre The city sought to secure in the court the payment of the paving tax which the defendant had refused to pay.
 Defendants in the other 11S cases had also declined to pay this tax. and all had united in resisting the claims of the city. A number of prominent lawyers appeared for the defendant.
 . The entire issue hinges upon the con stitutionality of the baby bond act. This was a special act passed by the Legtsla- ture of ls94-lS95. Under it's provisions the city of Montgomery was authorized to issue bonds to cover the cost of paving the streets the said bonds to be redeemed by assessment on property per front foot without regard to benefits derived from the paving.
 A great part of the paving of Montgom- cry has been done under the provisions of the baby bond act. and much of the assessment made under the act is yet uncollected, the property owners await ing the result of the attack on the con- stitutionality of the special act

MS EYES DANCE When His Good Drink Comes

A coffee that will nourish and furnish all the food required to rear a baby Is evidently easy food for an adult to digest and is especially applicable where ordin- ary coffee does not agree. The wife of a Congregational minister gives an experience. Tt Is rather curi- ous the manner in which I came to adopt Postum for my baby. My husband used to be troubled greatly with bilious head aches and extreme nervousness. This | was about five years ago. We concluded that coffee and tea were the cause of his troubles and so gave Postum Food Golf fee A trial. At first we did mot like it be- cause it was not boiled long enough and seemed weak and tasteless, but after pre- paring 1t properly, and that is easy, we became very fond ot it, ind now can honestly say we prefer it to any coffee or tea.
 The old headaches and nervousness lave disappeared and we beth enjoy very much better health.
 When one of our children was year old he would not drink milk so we tried him on Postum Coffee, and from the first he liked 1t and 1t agreed with him per fectIy so Postum has been his drink now for over four years.
 About tAn months ago baby boy came to our house. l was, of course anxious to have good nourishment for him and se drank from i've to eight cups of PostslRl during the day. This with a little GGpe-Nuts Food each day was all the nourishr1ent I took, and although the baby weighed only five pounds at birth. he weighed twelve and one-half hounds at three months and at four months fifteen pounds. Now he weighs twenty-three pounds.
 xVnpkS the little fellow suddenly weaned himself much to our surnrise 1 tried him on cows milk but he would not nave it. l then tried q cartain baby food then another but he would have neither. I felt very anxious obout him. but remembering experiment. inc uitb another boy with Postum, l gave hin, some which he drank with the great est relish. It agreed with him perfectly, so he lived on 1t for one week. Since then he has learned to eat a little other food hui he prefers Postum Coffee to apvth;nz else. and looks perfectly de- uehted when he sees me coming with it. said the other morning, I wish the postuno Company could see baby drink their coffee. 1t would certainly please them It agrees with him so perfectly tbat I shall continue to have him drink 1t to his hearts content. I don't like to have my name printed, but you can say [ am q Cong Pastors wife" Name and address given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

TEST CASE ON INVOLVING
 BABY BOND ACTS VALIDITY

The attack in the Moore case is made on two points. The defendants claim first that the law is invalid and uncon- stitutional because the title does not dis close the subject matter, and second, be- cause it gives the city the right to take property without due process of law.
 The defendant alleges in the answer to the suit of the city that the special act gives the city the right to assess the entire cost of the paving against property owners, and that that feature of the bill makes It unconstitutional. The further claim Is made in the answer that the assessment may be made against the property without regard to the benefits conferred by the pavement.
 The city contends that the question has been decided in it's favor in more than a half dozen decisions recently made by the Supreme Court of the United States
 The Moore case Is the first test case made of the baby bond act although there Is a general impression that the Su- preme Court passed upon the act in de- ciding the suit of T. Gardner Foster against the city of Montgomery. Tn this suit the city was the loser, and it was thought that the decision Of the Court knocked out the special act.
 City Attorney Steiner said yesterday that the merits of the baby bond act were not involved In the Foster suit. and that it's constitutionality was not af- fected by that decision. Mir. Foster and other taxpayers opposed the payment of a paving tax on tine ground that the city ordinance which authorized the assess ment of the tax was not valid. This or dinance was not passed under authority given the City Council by the special act providing for the baby bonds. but under authority given 1t by the city charter. The ordinance had no connection with the special act and the City Attorney said yesterday the general impression that the Supreme Court has decided the baby bond act was unconstitutional was there fore erroneous
 '"rhe city of Montgomery" he said, lis I believe, absolutely certain to win these cases in which the validity of the baby bond act Is attacked. The question in- volved has been decided again and again In favor of the citys contention. A half dozen of these cases have recently been decided by the Supreme Court of the Unl- ted States In each of these suits some city had made naving assessment under the same authe9ity conferred upon the city of MontgA1sery by the special bond act"
 The test suit is of paramount import ance not only to all taxpayers of Mont gomery but to all citizens. It involves miles of paving already laid in the city's streets and it will have a most import ant bearing upon all paving to be done in the future.
 In fact, the suspension of the workings of the Baby Bond Act by the fight made by taxpayers has stopped side walk paving in the city.

ness on the lines belonging to that rail- road system east of Pittsburg and Erie. Pa, and to string wires on the railroad company's poles and rights of way. The Agreement is expected to take effect July Il, and the transfer of offices to the Postal system will be, made as rapidly as pos sible after that date. It is understood that similar agreements, covering the re- mainder of the railroad company's sys- tenn, will be put in force as soon as the existing contracts with the Western Nm ion Company expires.
 The agreement just consummated will take away from the Western Union sys- tenn and add to the Postal system all offices and the telegraph lines on 4.745 miles of railroad in populous and inn portant section of the country.
 This is the most important and far reaching deal ever made by an opposition telegraph company. It gives to the Pos tai large revenue from commercial tele- graph business and incidentally will put the Western Union Company to heavy expense in removing its pole lines from the railroad rights of way and rebuild ing it's lines in other locations.
 The Postal Telegraph and Commercial Cable Company's comparatively recent connection with the new German cables and also with the Halifax and Bermudas and direct West Indies cables have re- suited in diverting very considerable business from the older company. The completion of the new Pacific cable will also result in large increase of the Postal Company's business. The Postal has with in the past two years made substantial gains in various other directions. notably in the acquiring of branch offices in all the principal hotels of the country. The company has recently opened offices in every hotel on the St. Lawrence River and has made numerous connections with railroads, particularly with roads ex- tending into the newly developed copper and coal producing territory in the South and Southwest. The postal has also within the past few years secured long term leases in the | most desirable locations in the larger cities of the country and has completely
 refitted It's offices in those cities with new and improved apparatus and Is expending over d,000,000 per year in the rapid ex- tension of its lines in all directions.

WASN'T so VERY. HOT TEMPERATURE YESTERDAY
 MARKED A JOKE. Official Thermometer Shows Those Who Thought Day Hottest Ever Were Entirely Wrong in
 That Opinion.

Those persons who sweltered in yester- days hot sun and offered to wager that no hotter day ever shone upon Montgon1- cry, were wrong in their conclusions.
 Ninety-six was the highest temperature recorded yesterday. It has been hotter than that in Montgomery before. Quite recently the official thermometer regis tered 99.
 Which same is another story.
 Hope is held out to the sweltering ones by the weather man. Rain is predicted for today, and it is believed the rain will be followed by lower temperatures.
