 Monday night about o'clock, accord ing to the boys story, he and another boy heard Arthur Notes, the son of Lee Notes, state that he had made 80 cents by selling papers that afternoon. They planned to follow the little fellow home and hold him up on the route. The plot was formed at Morris avenue and Twen- tieth street where they had overheard Lee tell about his money.

COMMISSION MEETS TODAY
Alabama Exhibit Committee Of the Commercial Club Met Yesterday, But Will Do No,nlne Until
 the Commission Acts.

A meeting of the Alabama exhibit com mittee of the Commercial club was held yesterday, and plans were discussed for supplementary exhibit at St. Louis. No decision was reached by the commit tee, as 1t did not wish to take any ae- ton before the meeting of the Alabama commission today.
 The plan of Major F. Y. Anderson to have a typographical may of the state at the exposition was discussed at length. It will be recommended to the commits sion, and it is thought that 1t will prob- ably form part of the exhibit.
 The concensus of opinion was that if the state exhibit was not sufficient that Jefferson county could make a supplement tary exhibit. The committee seemed to think that sufficient money could be raised in Birmingham and the county for that purpose The committee also thought that other counties would raise funds and in that way a good exhibit could be made
 The committee consists of B. F. Roden Fred M. Jackson, Robert Jemison, R. N. Rhodes, R. H. Pearson, who acts in the absence of MT. Roden, and Major Frank Y. Anderson
 Commission Meets Today.
 The commission to arrange for a state exhibit at the St. Louis exposition will meet this afternoon in the room of the Commercial club. The members of the commission will probably arrive on the noon train and the meeting will be called as soon as they can get dinner.
 This will be the most important meet Ing of the commission which was ever held. A decision will be reached con- corning the exhibit. It is known that that the state will give about s1OOOo and that the balance will have to be raised by subscriptions, or some similar plan. The commission will probably devise way.
 Several meetings of the commission have been held and at all of them 1t seemed that 1t would be impossible to get an ex- hibit unless the state appropriated some thing like $50,000 Since the last meeting several members of the commission have devised a plan, however, and they will present 1t at the meeting this afternoon. It includes the raising of funds from the different countless and getting each of them to make an exhibit of It's best pro- ducts and resources.

 Grading the Tracks.
 The seaboard is rapidly grading for it's tracks down Avenue A west of Thirty second street Already much of the hill between Thrtieth and Thirty-second streets has been cut away. and the work is being pushed.
 It is thought that the desire of the Sea- board people in purchasing so much property is to secure the very best ter minals and yard room possible.
 Besides the property east of Twenty fourth street on both sides of Avenue A, which the Seaboard now owns, 1t like wise ownes the entire block between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets and Powell avenue and Avenue A, on which its freight depot will probably be con- structed. The depot and track room will practically occupy all that space between Eighteenth and Twentieth streets opposite the power house of the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company.
 The tracks of the Seaboard will come down Avenue A under the bridges at Twenty-hrst and Twenty-second streets and will extend down Avenue A to the rolling mills.
 It has been given out that the Seaboard has decided to locate a round house, re- pair shop and terminals in this city. This probably accounts for the large purchases of real estate that Is so well situated for terminal and depot purposes.
 Contracts for all the work between here and Atlanta have been let by Major Bushnell, chief construction engineer, and work is in progress all along the line.
 Line to Be Completed Thls Year.
 The entire line between Birmingham and Atlanta, 1t is expected. will be com pleted and in operation before the new year. The line will be an exceedingly ex- tensive one, but is to be one of the lowest grade roads in the south. It is announced that there will be no grade on the line between Birmingham and Atlanta ex- ceeding 1 per cent This line will be practically the same mileage as that of the Southern between Birmingham and Atlanta.
 It is understood that the Seaboard will have excellent terminal facilities in both Birmingham and Ensley.
