ASK FOR BETTER
 RAIL CONNECTIONS
COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL RE- QUEST SOUTHERN BY. co. TO
 ARRANGE GOOD SCHEDULE BE- TWEEN B'HAM AND FLORENCE.

A resolution was offered at the meet ing of the Commercial Club yesterday by N. F. Thompson. asking that the Southern Railway company grant better schedules Into Birmingham on the road between Florence Sheffield Tuscumbia and other cities in the Tennessee valley.
 The resolution was referred to the transportation committee with instruc- tions to take the matter up with the rail- road and see if some arrangement could be made which would benefit both Bir- mingham and the territory penetrated by the road. The resolution was as follows Whereas, the cities of Florence, shef- field and Tuseumbia, in the Tennessee valley, are now and have so long been without favorable railroad schedules Into Birmingham, and as this has practically driven the principal trade of these cities to other centers, and,
 Whereas, Birmingham should seek to recover and hold this territory, both for the benefit of Birmingham and the de- velopment of these localities, which are among the richest in the state, there fore, be it.
 Resolved. that the committee on trans portation of the Commercial club be and IS hereby instructed to take this mat ter ID with the Southern Railway com pany. and not to relinquish it's efforts until present schedules and train ser vice between Florence and Birmingham are so changed as will remedy the ex- isting unfayorable connections.

here, far too small to handle the business without discomfort and danger
 Be it resolved, That the Commercial club of Birmingham appoint commit tee of three. of which its president shall be chairman. to bring this matter of in- sufficient accommodation before the proper authorities and endeavor to secure such enlargement of or additions to the present structure as will remedy It's pres ent discomforts.
 Ever since the Louisville and Nashville announced that 1t would build yards at Boyles and relieve the heavy traffic in it's yards in the city there have been ru- mors in railroad circles that the present station would be remodeled and enlarged so as to include several of the tracks now used for freight
 There has never been any official de- nial or confirmation of the report. It Is recognized in railroad circles that the present station Is too small to accommo- date the traffic in a place of Birming- hams size, and It is therefore thought by many that some steps will be taken by the roads to remedy the trouble as soon as 1t is possible.

Automobile Law Unconstitutional.

New York, August Tin deciding several pending automobile cases to- day, the Court of Special Sessions iii a case against James T. McWilliams held that the provisions of the Bailey law requiring owners of automobiles to register with and obtain certificates from the secretary of state is uncon- stitutional because it dscriminates between users of automobiles on high. ways. The general purpose of identi- fication is declared to be wise, but the exception of dealers and manufac- turers Is "unconstitutional and unfair discrimination against private own CTS"

 Unquestionably much attention will be shown Judge Gray during his stay in Birmingham, and several prominent at torneys suggested yesterday that the members of the bar tender a reception and banquet to Judge Gray in recogni- tion of his eminent services and his high position both as a lawyer and a jurist It Is suggested that this be purely a '1e- gal function" in order that an oppor- tunity be given to all representatives of the bar to meet the judge, which would be impracticable In case the reception were placed on a broader footing, in which others than lawyers were partici- pants.
