on by lgoTotes and originated In

the coins and get them at the rate Of

hundred miles distant these merchants
get a Mexican peso for eighty of the
coppers. Thousands of them are in cir

The natives do not understand that
II is against the law to make bogus
coppers. They were not bothered BY
the Spaniards, and they are not anx-

guard has been sent to teach them a
lesson. The new currency law will

Wilson entered You are not an early

Wilson fell into the preliminary trap.

WABASH INJUNCTION
ARGUMENT IN THE CASE I
 BEGUN.
Leading Counsel of the Road De- clares in Speech That the Elm ployes Were Not Dissatisfied
 With Conditions.

St. Louis. March 1S.-Afidavits were finished and arguments commenced late this afternoon in the Wabash injunction suit. Colonel Welles II. Blodgett, the leading counsel for the railroad, was the first to address the court and after he had spoken for an hour. an adjournment was taken until tomorrow morning. In opening his argument Colonel Blodgett declared:
 Our contention Is that the employees of the Wabash Railroad are not dissatisfied, that no grievances originated with them but with the defendants in this case"
 "The first point which I wish to dis cuss," said he, "is whether the defend- ants in this case conspired to injure the Wabash Railroad in order to bring about the recognition of their union."
 Colonel Blodgett then read numerous extracts from the record, which. he as- serted, showed that the two organiZa tions working together demanded recog- milton and threatened trouble in case it was denied them.
 We claim that the grievances said to exist on the Wabash Railroad originated with defendants in this case and not with any of the employees of the company and as evidence of this point out that there Is not in any of the reports of the meetings Of tnelr (ITleNdnCb uSlt here by the defendant a single statement to show that any of these so-called griev- ances were ever discussed by that Com mittee."
 At this point in Colonel Blodgett's argu- ment court adjourned until tomorrow.
 Among the affidavits submitted by the railroad company today were those of John w. Schrader, who said that he was q member of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, that he was personally ac- ouainted with Grand Master Morrissey and declared that he had heard Grand Master Morrissey threaten to bring about general tie-up of all the Gould lines un- less their organization was officially rec ognized by the Wabash road.
 Robert J. Robinson and c. M. Smith gave similar testimony concerning MT MOrrissey Grand Master Hannahan of the Firemen and Vice-Grand Master Lee of the Trainmen, said that they had made no statements to the effect that they would tie up the road and cripple It's business if their demands were not granted.
 In rebuttal, Messrs. Morrissey, Hanna han and Lee offered afidavits of ener- petic denial They declared the affida- wits charging them with uttering threats to tie up the road or injure it's business were false in every particular and de- clared they had never before heard of the men who had made them.

Will Not Apply to Aldermanic
 Contests.
Central Council Provides for Mont gomery Municipal Election and Chooses Three Members to
 Fill Vacancies-Colonel
 Jones Reelected.

The municipal primary for the selection or Democratic candidate for Mayor of Montgomery and candidates for Aldermen will be held Monday. April t, and the winning candidate for Mayor will be required to secure a majority of the total vote cast, failing in this on April G. a second primary for Mayor will be held.
 These things were decided at last nights meeting of the Central Council and at the same time 1t was decided that the three candidates receiving the highest number of votes for Alderman-at-large and the two candidates in each ward re- ceiving the highest number of votes should be declared the nominees.
 The Council, in other words, ruled that the majority regulation would apply to the mayoralty race. but not to the alder manic contests,
 The regulation for the mayoralty race is practically the same as that under which the Democratic State primary of last year was conducted. With seven candidates in the field for Mayor 1t is regarded as practically certain that a second race for Mayor will be run by the two candi- dates receiving the highest number of votes.
 The First Meeting.
 Last nights meeting of the Central Council, the first since the election. two years ago, was held in the office of Colo nel Charles P. Jones, the president of the old Council Only one member was ab- sent, William J. Toole, who Is In Cali fornia. In addition to the members of the council a number of voters interested in the municipal campaign were present.
 Two of the candidates for Mayor, Charles P. Anderson and E. J. Meyer were present when the meeting was call ed to order. X
 The Council immediately went into ex- ecutive session for the purpose of elect ing members to three vacancies on the board and for the election of officers of the Council.
 A communication from Wm. J. Toole, member of the Council from Ward 6. was read in which MT. Toole said that he was only temporarily absent from the city and he wished to retain his member ship in the Council.
 Three Vacancies Filled.
 The removal of O. P. Morgan from Ward had created a vacancy in the Council and for this vacancy two nomi- nations were made The contest for the place was between O. c. Dibble and c. c. Devnney. The vote was said tC have been very close, four for Devinney and. five for Dibble.
 In Ward a vacancy had been created by the removal of Charles P. Jones tc Ward 4. To this vacancy C. A. Lanter Jr., was elected without opposition.

Birmingham, March 1S.-(Special)-At meeting of the market and building com mittee of the City Council today, an agreement was arrived between the city and the dairymen of the county, practi- cally, as to the ordinance concerning the selling of milk in the police Jurisdiction of Birmingham The license heretofore named of s1.5 per COW, has been reduced to 50 cents The milkmen will hardly oppose this measure further The opinion was expressed that 1t was not the pur- pose of the milk and meat department of Birmingham to produce a revenue be- yond self-sustaining and as the reduction promises to quiet the opposition to the ordinance, the agreement was made. A discussion Is now on as to whether cows with tuberculosis should be killed or not. The City Attorney has been asked for an opinion as to the right of the city to have cows killed when tuberculosis has been determined.
