HEAD NOTES OF THE DECISIONS
 OF THE ALABAMA SUPREME COURT

i companions all testifed that they did stop
 and look and listen-it was competent, on cross examination of said agent, to ask
 him whether he knew, at he time he took
 the statement. that it was necessary for
 one. to look and listen before going on the track.
 f. Contrfbutory negligence; looking and
 listening; general charge.-There was ev-
 idence tending to show that plaintiff, ap- preaching in a wagon a railroad track at public road crossing. stopped about fifty , feet from the crossing to listen for trains, that she could not see along the track at that point because of bushes, which obstructed the view along the track | until she was in twenty feet of the cross ing, the team being in eight or ten feet of
 the track; that the approach to the cross ing was steep and twenty or twenty-five feet long; that plaintiff stopped nearly at the foot of the approach to listen for trains, and, hearing none, drove on up | the approach, and only discovered the train when the team was in the act of stepping upon the track, and that the train was then 150 or 200 feet away and collided with her wagon before she could get it across. Held. that it was ques- ton for the jury as to whether plaintiff was negligent in not stopping to look and looking at point from which she could have seen along the track, and also whether she was negligent in not stopping
 to listen at point nearer the track than fifty feet.
 5. Contributory negligence; looking and listening; cnarBe-A CndrBe IS property re- fused which involves the idea that, al-
 though plaintiff stopped sufficiently near the track to listen and did listen for an approaching train, but heard none. and although she was under no duty to stop at a point from which she could see
 whether a train was coming. yet she
 would be guilty of negligence if a man of ordinary care and prudence, stopping at the point at which she stopped and lis- tening for a train there, would have heard the approach of the train which collided with her vehicle at the crossing. 6. Same; person in vehicle, not driving; alighting from wagon.-The failure of one in a wagon approaching a crossing, and
 who is not driving. to alight and go for ward on foot to point whence she could see whether a train was approachinf, is not per SC contributory negligence.
 q. New trial, when granted: contribu- tory negligence.-Plaintiff with her hus-
 band and another was approaching a pub lie road crossing in a wagon. The hus-
 band was driving. The evidence of these three witnesses showed that the wagon
 was stopped and they looked and listened
 for an approaching train, twice before
 reaching the crossing, the last time about fifty feet from the track. at which point
 the view was opstructed. They testified

. LABOR UNIONS
Will Boycott Confederate Veterans
 Reunion.

New Orleans Special.
 Serious trouble Is expected as the result of the Confederate Veterans Commit tees refusal of a request to employ only union bands for the parade. The Central Trades and Labor Council recommended that the reunion be placed on the unfair list and unless the demads of the musl- clans are granted the veterans will be short of music. Opposition Is taken against the white bands marching behind the negro bands, though this matter is insignincant.
 The grievance held against the Re- union Committee was its action in de ciding that there should be no discrim- ination against union or non-union bands. and that as many of both would be em- ployed as required. The council said the obligations of the union did not allow them to enter a parade with non-union bands and the committee had given the jobs to the non-unfon musicians entirely. On this ground it was urged that there be a union boycott raised against the Confederate reunion and that all union labor should pull out and refuse to serve 1t.

 that they did not see or hear the train. At point about twenty-five or thirty feet from the track there was nothing to ob- struct their view. They were familiar with the crossing and its surroundings. A few days after the accident they all signed sworn statements, stating that they did not stop to look and listen before going on the track. The plaintiff testified that she knew train was about due, and that she always heard the train at Winfield, few miles away. whenever she paid any attention to 1t. Four other witnesses, who were not as near the crossing ass these three, testified to hearing the train com ing for considerable distance before 1t reached the crossing, and to hearing it leave Winfield, two miles from the cross ing.

Count Up the New "Health Foods"

Remarkable Changes in Local Tenn. perature Calls to Mind Averages in April Weather-Hard on Young Crops.

Frost is predicted for Alabama this morning.
 The temperature was quite low for the season at Montgomery yesterday. or rather, the fall in the twelve hours end. ing at a. m. yesterday was quite marked. It was 77 Monday afternoon and had dropped to 53 yesterday morning.
 A brisk north wind prevailed all of yes terday, which made the air quite sharp.

Of late, during the usually pleasant month of April, all kinds of rapid transformation acts are performing by the weather clements with heavy rains. tornadoas and cool changes striking some parts of the State all in a bunch.
 The records of the local Weather Bu- reau show, however, that locally this is 1892, there was light frost here on April 18th; in 1893, on April 17th; in 1898. on April Sth; in 1899, on April 10th, and in 1909, on April 18th. The average date of last killing frost here is March 11th.
 The records also show that in 1901, the local temperature was as low as fl de- grees on April 22nd. when light frost fell in counties immediately north of here. This is the latest date on local record for a spring temperature that low.
 The cold wind Is hard on young truck ing crops, which, up to yesterday, were quite promising. It will also retard young cotton and corn, much of which is above ground.

 The auditor sent here by Bertron & Storrs, the New York attorneys for the United Gas and Electric company, to ascertain to g. certainty the debt of the gas company, is still at work on the books, and will probably make his re- port direct to Bertron & Storrs, as the Hartford attorneys interested in the deal said to-day that they expected to receive no report from the auditor.
 So far as can be learned, the large number of shares in the gas company held by President John F. Harbison, Alexander Harbison and the estate of the late Hugh Harbison have not been acquired by those representing the new order of things They are not included in the 20,700 shares held by the stock holders committee. General Harbison is said to be in New York and is ex- pected back tomorrow. The sale of a block Of 585 shares of the company's s stock at auction in New York yester- day at $50 per share was believed by some to have a possible connection with General Harbison's visit there, but it was stated to-day that the New York stock was more likely to be 8 Phila- delphia holding.

and their friends. Their name was le- zion. There was, in fact, gut in the market of available timber for official sinecures. The clamor for office was deep, loud and insistent. The new sen- ator pndered over the prerogatives that, rightfully or unrightfully, belong to the toga-bearers of the nation. He finally saw his opportunity. At least he thought he did.
 Straightway with true senatorial dig nity he summoned four of his hench- men. He promised them choice berths in the consular service. Such appoint ments are recognized senatorial perqui- sites. He took his four friends to the state department, and brushed past the sable-hued messenger, who vain1y tried to explain that Secretary Hay was bus- fly engaged on pressing international matters. The senator and the quar- tette of would-be office-holders stalked single file toward Secretary Hays desk.
