The anti-pool selling ordinance which was passed Wednesday night will not have the effect of closing the alleged pool room being run in the Morris hotel.
 It was officially stated by officers of the Old Dominion Telegraph company yes- terday afternoon that the case will be carried to the United States Supreme court if necessary, and that in tns opinion of many of Birmingham's leading lawyers the ordinance will not stand.
 Felix Blackburn attorney for the com pany, stated that he had just started the fight. and that 1t would be carried as high as possible before it was decided.
 The ordinance does not become law until July 21. as provision is made sor publishing it three times in the daily pa pers. On the last day the place will be raided by the police, and the case tried before Judge FeaGin.
 The contention of the telegraph com pany is that they are not running illegal ly, and that they are willing at any time for the chief of police, the sheriff or any other similar officers to come down and inspect the entire workings of the busi- ness. They claim they are working under a city license. a charter of another state,

MIR. FINLEY FINDS
 THINGS IN SHAPE
SECOND VICE PRESIDENT OF SOUTHERN LEAVES FOR AN NIsToN, AFTER INSPECTING ROAD IN THIS DISTRICT.

Second Vice President W. w. Finley of the Southern railway, the Alabama Great Southern and the Mobile and Ohio. and General Manager c. H. Ackert of the Southern. after spending two days in Birmingham, left yesterday afternoon for Anniston, and from there they will proceed to Mobile.
 The party travels in two private cars, which are sometimes attached to regular trains and sometimes drawn by special engine.
 Just before leaving MT. Finley said that his trip through the south was merely one of inspection. He said he found the prop critics of the Southern and the Alabama Great Southern in the Birmingham dis trict in good condition. The traffic of the southern had been badly congested here. but Mir. Finley found great improvement in the car service, and complaints from shippers were now few compared with a year ago.
 Work on yard extensions at North Bir- mingham is being pushed, and will be completed In October next. Shops will be erected there ultimately, but MT. Finley said he would not give out a statement as to what improvements would follow the completion of the yards at North Birmingham; said there would be time enough for that later on. {

 TRYING TO ESCAPE
DAVE SPEED SHOT IN THE BACK BY 6. H. FUNK, RookKEEPER LIN SOUTHERN CoMNISSARY = WOUND MAY PROVE FATAL.

David steed, negro about 20 years old who was trying to escape from the city street gang. was yesterday shot in the back by s. H. Funk. bookkeeper in the Southern commissary with 22- calibre rifle.
 The negro was arrested and carried to the city jail, where he was attended by City Physician Whelan. The wound may prove fatal.

He had run some distance when Mir. Funk shot him, after calling for him to halt
 The negro was working under Guard James Caldwell, who did not shoot at the negro while trying to escape. The req son for his not doing so is not known.

and that they have filed the proper pa- pers with the secretary of the state of Alabama. and that they have his certifi- cate allowing them to do business.
 The members of the company claim that the other organization which was sup posed to be the Old Dominion was a wild cat scheme. and that 1t resulted really in the passage of the ordinance. It is further claimed that the telegraph of- flee has spent large amount of money in the city and has undergone large expense in securing the right to do bus mess, and that 1t Is not just to revoke the license and to cause this loss. They claim that 1t is a legitimate sport and that a man who is a voter has the right to spend his money as he sees fit.
 The Pelican Telegraph company. which had opened in the Mecca has closed. the boards for showing the results of the races have been torn down and it Is thing of the past. It is stated that there were several defects in the organization of this company and that 1t would have been convicted of violating the pool law.
 It is possible that the police will adopt more stringent measures of it Is found that the ordinance will not hold good in the lower courts.

EAST LAKE WAS PREMATURE.
Captain Elliot Says the Place Was Not Selected for Encamprnent.

The local military men are somewhat surprised at the action of the East Lake council against the encampment of the soldiers at the lake. They state the action was premature and that they are sur prised at it.
 Capt. J. D. Elliott. who has in charge the preliminary arrangements for the en- campment of the Second regiment, A. N. G. here. stated that he had not chosen East Lake-and was not certain whether that place would be chosen. In fact he believes that there are more desirable places near the city and that one of them will be selected.

PIG IRON SALES
 ARE STILL SCARCE
NO FUTURE DELIVERY SALES HAVE BEEN BOOKED, AND CON- sUMERs ARE HOLDING OFF, NOTWITHSTANDING CUT.

Although the price of southern pig iron was cut s1 5O a ton last week. consumers are still holding off. No future delivery contracts have been booked, the only sales being of small lots for future delivery. A large manufacturer said yesterday that he felt sure the market would respond be- fore great while. We are now 50 cents lower than other markets, and if we had cut the price to SIP on a No. basis the consumers would not have bought freely. They are simply not ready to buy"
 Pig iron buying in this section is starting up slowly notwithstanding the reduction in prices of the product made at the meeting held in Chicago last week It was believed there would be active buying immediately after the reduction had been announced, but the orders com ing to hand are stfll In smail-iot sizes, and are for quick delivery.
 "The accumulated stock of iron on fur mace yards in Alabama are being touched slowly If the coal miners suspension of work continues many days longer, It is announced. there will be a reduction in the production of pig iron, which will bring about some shipment of iron from the stock on hand. So far no efforts have been made to replace the miners places with non-union men, and 1t is not be- lieved such a course will be followed.
 ''NIne furnaces In Alabama are now undergoing repairs. but they will be ready for the torch in five or six weeks. Two new furnaces are ready for the torch, but will not be started until after the trouble with the coal miners is ended. These furnaces will have a daily capacity of more than 200 tons of iron. Two other new furnaces will be ready for the torch before the end of the year and still an- other will be ready by April next.
 It is estimated there are about 10000 tons of pig iron in the yards hereabouts. ~~o-~~---~-~--~---~ where foundry and forge work was done. were closed several weeks ago. The An niston Car works were not in operation yesterday, but the Memphis shops we're running. Anniston has the largest of the shops with a capacity of fifteen cars day. The Memphis and Lenoir shops have a capacity each of eight or nine cars days.
 A few years ago the Southern Car and Foundry company bought a site between Vivian and Ensley and made plans for erecting a large steel car plant there. It spent about s25.Oo0 on grading this site and Captain Elliott. up to the time of retiring from the presidency, said the plant would certainly be built When the new interests got control of the company the steel car works project was aban- doned or at least kept in abeyance.
