SURPRISED BY LADIES.
They Took Charge of a Meeting of
 the Engineers.

At the regular weekly meeting of Divis. ion 4e5 of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers yesterday afternoon quite a delightful surprise was sprung on the en- gineers.
 After the business meeting was con- ciuded the members of J. I. Mckinney Division of the Ladies' Auxiliary marched in and took complete charge of the pro- ceedings. Mrs. L. W. Wright, presi- dent of the Ladies' Auxiliary was in troduced by C. c. ,Devinney, Chief En- gineer of 4Ds, and in a few we'll chosen words explained the action of the ladies' Mir. Devinney being hoarse and suffering from severe cold Engineer Conner. the veteran member of lS6 responded in an appropriate talk in which he spoke of the unselfsh devotion and unceaslng work of Mrs. Wright for the railroad interests of Montgomery
 Every one interested remembers the phenomenal success oS the union meet ing of railroad workers last summer, and to Mrs. Wright is due the entire credit of 1t. Since she has been the Grand Officer of the Ladies' Auxiliary the growth of that organization in Mont gonery has been marvellous.
 J. D. Keene, Assistant Trainmaster of the Louisville and Nashville system, who was & guest of the meeting was next ir- troduced and in a most interesting talk he euiogized the B. l.. Els and the Ladies Auxiliary of Montgomery. This office of Assistant Trainmaster Is new one, the duties being similar to that of the General Master Mechanic Of the Louisville and Nashville.
 After the formalitles delightful refresh ments were served by the Ladies' Auxll- iary, closing the most pleasant gathering ever held by the Division.
 During the meeting an interesting bit of news developed. There is probabiil- ty, that the National Convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will not be held in California. The con- vention was to have been held in Los Angeles in June. but it has been learned that the convention of the Baptist Young Peoples Union will be held in that city during the same week. The rates at the hotels of Los Angeles, it has been of- flcially stated will be S for delegates and $7 a day for visitors and others dur ing the B. L. E. convention. and for this reason and the fact that the hotels will bv congested it Is said that the conveff- tion will be held in Cincinnati.
 The delegates from Montgomery are, c. c. Devinney. Chief of Division 4s6; John stili of Division SS2; Mrs. George Morgan and Mrs. l.. W. Wright from the Ladies' Auxiliary. Frank Crenshaw of the Mobile and Montgomery division of the Louisville and Nashville will so as a visitor,

He H. ,Bolton,. industrial agent of the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City, has been largely instrumental in establishing this factory. He was assisted by T. ". Wade, president of the Mobile State Packers Association. This plant, said MT. Bolton. is but the initiative in movement which means many more in- |dustries of like character for this and |adtoining counties.

SANITATION OF CANAL LINE.
House Committee Hears Profssor "
 IT. Burr.

G4O0SS G4SaIS &GOIB8UE W
 H. Burr.
 Washington, March 16-The House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce today heard Prof W. H. Burr on the question of sanitation of the Panama canal route.
 The Isthmian Canal Commission had he said, regarded the subject as one of the greatest importance. The works of sanitation would be chiefly the construc- tion of waterworks and a sewerage sys- tenn for the cities of Panama and Colon and the drainage of districts between those cities. It would, however, he said require the cooperation of the police and the people on the islands have no idea of sanitary principtes He estimated the cost ats $2Ooo,0O0 The completion of the canal he said, could be accomplished fin eight or nine years
 Answering Mir. Hepburn, Professor Burr said that where men are careless in their habits on the isthmus the nor. tality is high. He had not, he said. heard that thousand men lost their lives for every mile so far as work had been done upon It. nor had he ever heard Of graveyard containing 5000 graves Of laborers, or of the fact that out of s0C Chinese laborers 500 had died in three months.
 Professor Burr was subjected to many questions, mostly bearing on the amount of excavation made by the two French companies, and said they had excavated about 100000 cubic yards. two-thirds os which was useful, leaving loo 1000 900 cubio yards yet. to be eXcavated.
