RAILROAD MANAGERS TO AP PEAR BEFORE COMMISSION.
Reported That They Have Raised the Minimum of Freight to 100 Pounds-To Meet Here
 in May.

The Traffic Managers of all railroads operating in Alabama will be asked the first Monday in May by the Alabama Railroad Commission why the minimum number of pounds for consignment of freight was raised from 50 to 100, contrary to the order of the Commission.
 This question will be one of the most interesting features of the important meeting of the Commission to be held the first Monday in May. The meeting will be held primarily to adjust the rate on hay and grain in Alabama. 1t has been represented to the Commission that the Alabama rate on hay and grain Is high CT than that of it's sister States. The Commission has determined to investigate the allegations with view of taking such action as 1t may deem necessary. All Traffic Manag gers of Alabama have been cited to appear before the Commission in the investigation and a number of other railroad officials will be present. To accommodate the crowd expected to be present the mestings of the Commis- sion will be held in the Hall of the House of Representatives
 The complaint that the railroads had raised the minimum number of pounds of freight to be handled by railroads from 50 to 100 originated since the last meeting of the Commission. It is alleged that the general classification committee of the several railroads mad increased the

Captain Purse came from Macon to see Governor Jelks relative to the. ap- pnintment of the Alabama delegation to the convention.
 Governor Jelks was in Tuscaloosa at. tending 2 meeting of the Board of Trus- tees of tho State University and Captain Purse left last night for North Georgia without seeing the Governor. Tho Gov ernor has already expressed his approval of the movement and announced his inten- bama. The delegates have not yet been appointed. however. The object of Cap tain Purses visit was to make sure of a hitting representation from Alabama at
 Captain Pursc is enthusiastic over the work of the Association which is to arouse interest in sugar cane growing in the Southern States.
 Tt is the biggest agricultural move. ment ever started In the South," said Captain Purse yesterday. Tt promises more for the Southern States than any other agricultural movement ever begun. Millions of acres of sandy lands in Ala banla and Georgia can be redeemed with the revival of the cane growing industry. This land has been denuded by lumber men and great part of it Is now lying out with no prospects of redemption.
 We are going to have a great crowd at Macon. Why, 400 rooms have already been engaged by delegates. Georgia alone will have 800 men in attendance. Florida will have 300 delegates. South Carolina 800 and Louisiana 300 am anxious to see Alabama fittingly represented.
 The convention will be educational in its nature. The practical results of cane growing in Georgia and Florida will be described by Prof. c. W. Wiley, Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry of the Depart ment of Agrlculture. One of the most at- tractive features of the program will be the address of Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson. The program will be re. plete with valuable features"

Charleston, W. Va. April 21-Another tragedy growing out of the battle between striking miners and deputy United States marshals at Stanaford City last February occurred near that place today, when John Hairless, one of the strike leaders. was shot and killed by John Laing and a man named George. who went with Dep uty Marshals Cunningham and Summers to arrest Hairless on a warrant issued by the Federal Court.

As they approached the house the two latter were left stationed some distance away to stop Hairless in case he tried to get away. Cunningham and Sum- mers approached from the other side of the street and Hairless seeing them ran out of the house and towards the woods. As he passed near Laing and George they halted him but he refused to stop and lodging behind tree, drew his pistols. Laing and George fired on him and he fell dead. Hairless was said to have been one of the leaders of the strikers at the Stana- ford City fight.
