L. & N. TO BUILD SHOPS AT BOYLES
THE COMPANY APPRoPRiATEs ssoo,ooo FOR CONSTRUCTION OF SWITCHING YARDS, A ROUND HOUSE AND REPAIR SHOPS.

An appropriation of s3o0.o has now been made by the Louisville and Nash vile railroad for the construction of switch yards, shops and roundhouse on the property belonging to that road near Boyles, a few miles north of Birming- ham, The project has been talked of for several years, and it will be some time before the projected changes are com pleted because of the magnitude of the undertaking
 It is proposed to build extensive switch yards where all the roads trains will be made up and broken up. The removing of this work from within the city limits will go far towards relieving the embar- rassing compositions of freight between Nineteenth and Twenty-fourth streets and will lessen the danger at important grade crossings.
 The shops will be extensive and win eventually displace entirely those here in the city. They will include a machine shop, car shops, blacksmith shop and small foundry.
 The roundhouse will probably contain twenty-five pits or quarters for that number of locomotives. which is more than three times the capacity of the present. roundhouse
 This movement on the part of the Lou isville and Nashville will cause the re> moval of large number of railroad men from Birmingham to Boyles, including engineers. brakemen and employees of the machine shop.
 It Is thought that as many as 1000 or 5000 people will be removed from this city. Work on such a large enterprise must necessarily be slow, however, and 1t will probably be many months before the railroad force Is definitely settled in new quarters.

ELEVEN KILLED
 AND 26 INJURED
A COLLISION BETWEEN A WORK TRAIN AND A STOCK TRAIN OC- OURS WITH FATAL RESULTS. DEAD STREWN ALL AROUND.

Buffalo, Kan, April T.-Eleven men were killed and twenty-five injured in a rear-end collision between a work train and stock train on the Missouri Pa cihc a few miles north of here last night Ten of the injured, 1t Is believed, will die. All of the dead were Greeks and Italians save one - Peter Fry. an American.
 The work train consisted of fiat cars and caboose, all filled with laborers. The men on the flat cars escaped by jump ing, but hardly a man in the caboose escaped. The work train was backing into town for the night and running at a good speed
 The heavy freight engine did not leave the track but plowed through the work train, throwing 1t off the track. leaving little of 1t except the car wheels and kindling wood. Doctors from Buffalo as- sisted by town people. did heroic work among the injured until the wrecking train with surgeons arrived. The dead and injured were taken to Coffeyvllle. the latter to be temporarily cared for at the hospital there.
 The scene of the wreck for several hours looked like battlefield with dead men strewn about upon the ground where they had been left after being taken from the wreck

 MORTAL DAY WAS CELEBRATED
 DESPITE MINIsTERs' PROTEST.

Selma, April H.--(special.)-Th thir- teenth annual convention of the Alabama Christian Endeavor society came to a close last night at the Cumberland Pres byterian church. The last days services were intensely interesting and attended by large crowds. The sunrise "Quiet Hour" which was held at e:S0 o'clock and conducted by Dr. Francis D. Clark, was spiritually impressive and those present were filled with the peace of God.
 In the afternoon the praise services were conducted by the Rev. ". T. Swain and were followed by an address by Presi- dent E. E. Hendricks of the Tennessee union on the subject How the Young People Can Be of Service to the Pas tor" An address on "A Vision of Christ" by c. H, Moorman. concluded the afternoon session.
 At night a model Christian Endeavor meeting was conducted by President Braxton, and then came the address of Dr. Clark, president of the United So- ciety of Christian Endeavors His address was listened to with rapt attention. The speaker told of his three trips around the world, and called to mind that. starting in New York at g o'clock in the evening and travelling with the sun, there was each hour a prayer meeting of Christian Endeavors all around the globe. Dr. Clark brought to the Alabama conven- ton greetings from Massachusetts and other states, and after the consecration services the Endeavorers, by a rising vote, bade him take on to the other states which he was to visit the greetings from the Alabama union.

DID NOT COME ID
 ALA. FUR POLITICS
Lieutenant Governor Brown of
 Pennsylvania Was Here.
BELIEVES IN ROOSEVELT
Says President May Have Made Mis- takes, But Republicans Admire Ills lntegrlty-speaks of Rirmins-
 hams Great Future.

Lieutenant Governor William M. Brown of Pennsylvania spent yesterday in Bir- mingham. He left last night for his home.
 1t was rumored in political circles that he was here in the interest of Senator Matthew S. Quay to see how the Ala bama republicans looked upon the sena- tor as a possible candidate for the nomi- nation for the presidency. This report gained circulation largely from the fact that the lieutenant governor was seen with a number of republican leaders during the day, conspicuous among whom was Capt. J W. Dimmck of Montgom- cry, a close friend of Senator Quay and who is among the members of the state republican executive committee who favor the lilly white" policy, in part at least, as laid down by the last state convention.
 Denied That Trip Was Political.
 Lieutenant Governor Brown denied that he was In Alabama on political mis- sion, saying that his visit south was | purely of business nature, and was In reference to matters connected with the street railway system at Montgomery. He | came from Montgomery to Birmingham. | The lieutenant governor of Pennsyiya- mia would not discuss politics to any great extent Asked If there was any probability that Quay would be before the next national republican convention he sald
 Predicts Roosevelt.
 Roosevelt will, in my judgment be nominated without opposition unless un- foreseen circumstances develop within the next ten months Senator Quay Is not l a candidate for the nomination, but he and his friends are up to this time un- qualiffedly for President Roosevelt. lar t111rnher PennsVlVania publicans are at variance with the Pres ident upon his treatment of the situation in the south, especially in Alabama, and think that perhaps he has been misled as to the facts, but they have unbounded faith in the integrity and good Judgment of the President and believe that when he becomes thoroughly informed, as we think he will be, that he will do exact justice to the stalwart republicans of Alabama who have stood by republican, ism, and most of whom stood for him in the preliminary steps of the celebrated contest in Philadelphia in 1900.'
 This Is all Lieutenant Governor Brown would say in reference to politics. He did not care to discuss the present situation in Alabama
 Talks of Birmingham.
 In referring to Birmingham he said: 'Birmingham is one of the best cities in this country, and in my judgment will be close second to Pittsburg in short while"
 Tn the lobby of the Hillman, MT. Brown chatted pleasantly with a number of friends last night. In 1892 he built the street car system in Montgomery, being at that time a contractor for the Clover dale Land and Developing company. In 1893 he bought out a controlling interest in the firm. For twenty-five years he was connected in a business way with w. A. Thompson, president of the Republic Iron and Steel company. His last busi- ness connection with him was closed about a month ago.

At the BiJou.

A new and in many respects better version of East Lynne" was well pre- sented last night at the Bijou theatre by Miss Grace Kimball in the dual parts of Lady Isabelle and Madame Vine. It Is probably the most elaborate production that this company has presented here with the exception of "The Christian" and 1t is equally as well played as was that drama.
 The strong situations and lines of the book are retained in many places, all though there is some change from the original. The piece Is in four acts and a tableau. The climaxes are the death scenes in the fourth act and in the tab leau. Miss Kimball Is the central figure in both, and she acts them with seeming ly more feeling than she did the part of Glory Quayle.
 The two new members of the company appear to great advantage, as do two or three of the old favorites. Wallace Worsley leading man, succeeded in get ting himself cordially hated as the vil- lain of the play but his acting frequently won him applause He Is an able man, and strilxlngly handsome. In hero role he would be a great matinee favorite.
 Miss Lucille LeVerne, the new charac- ter actress, Is a great addition. She had a part last night which carried the bur- den of the comedy, and her work was tell ing without being over drawn. Little Miss Pauline Welch, as Willia Carlyle, was very clever and did not detract from the situations as children frequently will. Edmund Liston, one of the old members of the company, has been raised to much better roles than he had here before, and he showed considerable ability last night in handling the part of Archibald Carlyle. Charles Hawkins, the character man, was well received and repeated his successes. The stage settings of l.. B. Carleton are worthy of unusual mention as they are the best seen at the house since he was here last. F'. II. $.

Memorial Day.

Starr. the versatile member of the legislature from Dallas county. Senator Edmund w. Pettus acted as master of ceremonies. There were none of the preachers of the Evangelical churches of the city present, and a great many church people heretofore conspicu- ous on such occasions were also absent.

WANT COMMITTEE
 MEETING CHANGED
PRESIDENT RoosEVELTs REFER. EEs MAKING EFFORT TO HAVE CHAIRMAN WELLMAN ISSUE AN OTHER CALL FOR MEETING.

An effort Is being made by the friends of the President in Alabama to have Chairman W. I. Wellman of the repub- lican state executive committee, change his call for a meeting or the committee in Birmingham May 12 to Montgomery May 5, as requested in a petition given to him iR Birmingham Friday afternoon by J. O. Thompson. one Of President Roosevelts referees in Alabama. The three referees, J. O. Thompson, Charles Scott and William F. Aldrich are anxious to have the committee meet the day be- fore the general conference called to take place in Montgomery May S. and to this end efforts are being put forward by them and a number of the members of the committee.
 The friends of the administration as- sert that they have secured majority of the committee in favor of a committee meeting on May 5. and that the commit teemen have signed petition to this eff feet. and that 1t has been ignored, inso- far as a date Is concerned, by the chair man, who called the meeting for May R.
 A letter was mailed to Chairman We'll man yesterday, and it requested him to call the meeting for May in Montgom- cry and annul the call for a meeting in Birmingham May 12.
 Chairman Wellman IS aI nlS nome m Huntsville. and has not yet replied.
 Mir. Thompson has mailed several let- ters to Chairman Wellman, letters, he says, which favor in strong terms meet ing of the committee as petitioned for, and that majority favors a call of this kind
 Meanwhile those interested are watch ing with interest the next move in the situation. MT. Thompson gave out the following interview in regard to the mat ter yesterday
 MT. wellman failed to include the name of Mir. Carey, together with the other petitioners, which would have made a clear majority even if one man had withdrawn his name. It is believed that Mir Wellman will realize that he has been badly advised.
 Since presenting the petition to MT. Wellman he has also received letter from MT. Hubbard addressed to Mir. We'll man requesting that the committee be called at Montgomery"

CONVICTED IN POLICE COURT.
The Usual Sentence for Carrying Con,
 cealed Weapons.

Charles Harris. a negro, was yesterday fined $100 and sentenced to 180 days on the streets by Judge Feagin. He was con- victed of stealing a pair of pants from one of the stores.
 Another negro was convicted of carry ing concealed weapons, and his fate was the common fate of all. He received the usual fine of $100 and sentence of 1S0 days on the streets. This makes twenty seven sentenced this month on that charge, or one every day during the month.
 This is a record breaker. It seems that every time the police arrest a negro for any serious charge they find pistol on him.
