WILL HIGDON NOW
 WITHDRAW LETTER2
RumOred That He May Take
 Back His Resignation
WILL MAKE NO STATEMENT
Rumor Is Rife That Jn View of the Election of Kennedy as Lieutenant Colonel That Hlgdon Will
 Ask Letter Returned.

The question which is interesting the military men just now Is, Will Col. b. L. Higdon withdraw his resignation?'
 Now that Hughes B. Kennedy is lieu tenant colonel of the Third regiment, A. N. G., the rumor is rife again that Col onel Higdon will withdraw his resignation and leave the newly elected lieutenant colonel in command of the regiment.
 If the resignation is not withdrawn in a few days 1t is believed that Acting Cover nor Cunningham will take some action on 1t. If the resignation Is not accepted court martial will probably be ordered, or it may be allowed to run along just as 1t is for some time to come. If the resigna- ton is accepted then an election for lieu tenant colonel will be ordered, and 1t looks certain that Capt w. H. McKleroy of Anniston will be chosen.
 Yesterday Colonel Higdon was asked what course he would pursue in the mat ter of withdrawing his resignation, and he

All records for unique cases were brok- en in the city court yesterday when Thomas s. Weathers brought suit against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company for $500 damages for personal injuries alleged to have been received through lnhaling tobacco smoke while a passenger on train owned and oper- ated by that company.
 The smoke which is alleged to have caused the personal injuries, according to the bill was created by other pas sengers using tobacco The bill does not specify whether the smoke came from a pipe, cigarette or cigar and furthermore

MAN WANTS DAMAGES FOR
 WHALING TOBACCO SMOKE

Is silent on the grade of tobacco used in creating the injurious fumes.
 It is well known that persons have been compelled to leave smoking cars on account of bad cigars in times gone by. but this is the first case on record where a man has claimed to have been person. ally injured as result of the liberal use of the weed on trains. The progress Of the case will be watched with peculiar interest.
 The plaintiff claims that he was pas senger on a train belonging to the de- fendant company and was en route from Warrior to Birmingham at the time of the alleged injury.

SLAG TRAIN SPLITS SWITCH.
Cars Crossing Nineteenth Street and Second A.e..-.c Blocked for a Time.

A sag train of the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company split a switch at Nineteenth street and Second avenue yesterday afternoon, and left the track. For a time traffice was blocked on certain lines which pass that corner, but new routes were used until the car was put back on the track
 In order to get the car back it was necessary to empty part of the slag out of it, and there was a large pile of the stuff in the street for some time. It had to be carried away in wagons.

 avenue with anything. The avenue only needs repairs. What does the city of Birmingham have to say about 1t? What has the old lady to say In the matter? 1 think that a minority should at least be heard.'
 Mr Percy: Well, are you not being heard?'
 MT Bradshaw: "Yes. but am not talk ing to you"
 MT. Percy stated that he had talked with City Engineer Kindrick who inform ed him that bituminous maeadam and creosoted wooden blocks were both ex- cellent pavements. He said that if the paving ordinance was adopted he would personally guarantee that the assessments against all of the property owners were paid.
 MT. Percy suggested that vote then be taken on the proposition which was put in the form of a motion and was adopted.
 All who were in favor of paving the avenue with bltuminous macadam or wooden blocks were requested to stand up There was twenty-three property owners to stand up. On the question of all who were opposed to it four stood up
 Then all in favor of paving the avenue from Twentieth street to Bay street with creosoted wooden blocks and from Bay streeet to the eastern limits of the city with bituminous macadam were asked to stand. In all twenty-one voted for the proposition, and thus 1t was carried.
 At 11:15 o'clock the meeting adjourned.

refused to make any statement. He said he did not know, and therefore was loath to say. It Is believed that the matter will be allowed to remain as it is.
 It will be remembered that Colonel Hig- don's resignation was a rather caustic comment or criticism on the actions of Governor w. D. Jelks in the now famous military case Because of it's comment on Governor Jelks it Is said Acting Governor Cunningham refuses to take any action regarding 1t.
 No official announcement has been made of the vote. Tuesday, when Lieu tenant Colonel Kennedy was elected to that position but it is thought that the figures will not vary more than one or two votes from those already announced, 2S for Kennedy and 10 for Major Daniels.

 The storm, yesterday over western Kan sas, has moved northwestward to Nebras- ka and Iowa, causing rain from Texas to North Dakota, and eastward to the Mississippi river. The storm over Flor ida has remained stationary near Tam pa, but has caused heavy rains over 1he main portion of the state. The high over the Atlantic states is decreasing in pressure and this storm in Florida will now probably have an opportunity to move northward.

 The chief objection to the wooden block pavement is that 1t becomes slipperv in rainy and frosty weather said the speak CT. He said that he had recently read in a local paper a clipping from the Indjan- apolis News, which told of the state of affairs up there. where large amount of creosoted wooden block pavement has been used. q received from him the fol- lowing letter, which have in my hand. This letter says that the statements made in the Indianapolis paper were correct, but that they may be slightly exagger- ated
 q was in London several years ago, and what attracted my attention to the wooden block pavement was the fact that it is not a safe foothold for horses and mules. I do not see how this class of pavement can be laid right for g per yard. I do not think that you city officials would be willing to make this experiment if 1t had the money in it's treasury. Bi-

Mayor Sampliner could hardly
crown his administration with a work
of more public benefit. than the park
ing of Seventh avenue. Many years
ago this paper endeavored TO make the
council of the city see the benefit to
be deprived from such public work.
The time to commence that work is
now. If delayed few years longer,
it will require greater work to secure
its construction. 1t is not too early
to begin the work of beautifying this
city. So few people look ahead and see
what are the possibilities of the city
in the future decade. 1t ought to be
plain to them from the wonderful
growth of the past few years. but it is
not and it must be brorght persistent
ly before them, to make them realize
the necessity of the work In its
history The Sentinel has endeavored
always to keep before the public mind
the needs of the city, in the perform
ance of its duty 10 the public as a
public institution and it hopes to con-
tinue to agitate upon this question I'M
til it sees such resting places for the
city's people constructed. 1t shall ne
yer grow restive or weary in its we'll
doing in this connection.

The most amusing political comedy
which is taking place at the present
time in this city, is the effort which
Republican party leaders are making
to ward off the support of newspa-
per which persists in its desire to re-
present the party. The call for the
Republican convention was kept from
it. until policy demanded that it be
given for publication. The counsel
ors of the party are more afraid of its
friendship than any other one thing
with which the party is mena,ed. 1t
is confessedly rather large burden
for any party to have dangling from
its neck. The situation is however
amusing, hardly however to Chairman
Blair.
