 The collision occurred about 1 o'clock. Ware station Is about ten miles from Bir- mingham and five from Bessemer. The collision occurred in a cut and on long curve, and seems to have been the result of change of schedule which was not understood by one of the motormen.

 Mrs. J. J. Collins, daughter-in-law of Mrs. Jones. slightly injured and bruised. Mamie Collins, young daueltee of Mrs. J. J. Collins. slightly bruised. Tfley were carried to the office of pr. B. A. Fox. who is In attendance.

 STATE $107895 Estimates Made by Some Per- sons Were Far Too High APPEAL NOT DECIDED ON
His Attorneys Will Hold Conference Tomorrow and Will Then Decide on Future Action-WiIl Also
 Take Up the Wise Case.

Unless a motion for a new trial is made tomorrow in the case of Glen Havis re- gently convicted of murder in the second degree he will be sentenced to twelve years and six months in the penitentiary before the adjournment of the criminal court for the term tomorrow night.

 In Case of New Trial.

In the new trial he could neither be sentenced to hang nor to life imprisonment.
 He could be convicted, however. and sentenced to any number of years in the penitentiary greater than ten.

Fit for Admission.

All Of the three territories are better
qualified for statehood than most of
those which have been admitted to the
Union in past years. An investigation
of the records will show that, of the
thirty-two states admitted since the
Union expanded beyond the original
thirteen, twenty-five had less popula-
tion, when they were admitted, than
New Mexico hrs to-day, while seven
teen had less than Arizona now has.
And Oklahoma has more than twice as
many inhabitants, according to the
1900 census. than either Arizona or
New Mexico. There are -four states in
the Union with less population than
New Mexico and eight with less than
Oklahoma.
The facts and figures speak for them
selves. Politics andpartiaanship should
be- laid aside by the Fifty-eigh,h con-
g!css and simple justice should be done
10y the admission OF the territories.
