ALABAMA SEEKS ID
 RECOVER $112,5OO Seaboard and Continental Trust
 Co. Are Defendants DUE ON RECORD OF DEED Attorney General Is Ordered By the Governor to Bring Suit In Which

DUE ON RECORD OF DEED

Montgomery, December 3.-(Special)- The attorney, general of Alabama has brought suit fin the superior court of Baltimore against the Continental Trust company and the Seaboard Air Line railway for SIP 300, with damage claims of over $10O,OOO in addition alleged to be due on a record Of deed of trust filed in the state on August IA, .f903 by the Continental company, to cover an issue of bonds of $70,000,0vJ, four per cent, by the Seaboard.
 The suit was brought on the order of the governor. Two thirds of the amount Is claimed by the state and one-third by Russell county from which the first notice of failure to pay the fees came. The allegation is that the deed of trust comes within the mortgage section of the revenue laws which stipulates that fees shall be paid for the record of ev- cry paper of the kind. There is also an allowance for fees and interest The deed of trust was recorded in Russell county and the attorney general took it up with the governor who ordered him to go to Baltimore at once. After looking into the facts it was found that the deed came within the law and the state was ie- gally entitled to the fees whereupon Cans & Haman, attorneys of Baltimore, were ordered to bring suit at once. The claims made in detail are as follows:
 For the state, $75,0O0; For the county of Russell, $37 800; damages and fees, S1O0OOO It is presumed that the trust company considered that they were not liable on this record because of an old issue for the same purpose filed some years ago.

RURAL CARRIERS
 ID BE SHAKEN UP Exerted Too Much Influence in
 Recent Election THE DEMANDS TOO STRONG Candidates for Congress Were Made the Victims of Systematic Plan

 riers' Association.
THE DEMANDS TOO STRONG

Washington, December 8. - Several weeks ago. in the heat of the presi- dential campaign. complaints were made to the President and to the postmaster general by several members of congress who were candidates for reelection that they were being made the victims of a systematic plan on the part of the Rural Letter Carriers association to defeat them unless they should accede to certain demands of the association.
 One of these demands was that the carriers should have increased pay. A special effort was made by members of the association to embarrass Represen- tative Overstreet of Indiana chairman of the postoffice and post roads committee of the house, because it is alleged he had not done for the rural carriers what they thought he ought to have done. Represen- tative Cunningham of the association is said to have been one of those who made demands upon candidates for congress, of course on behalf of the members of the, association. The complaints filed with the President and postmaster general men, tioned President Cunningham as one of those responsible for the attempted hold up," as it was termed by the victims By direction of the President an inves- tigation of the matter was instituted by the postmaster general. It has been in progress for two or three weeks, and the intimation is given that thus far it tends to substantiate the charges made by rep resentatives in congress.
 What the result of the investigation may be is not disclosed, but the likelihood is that if the charges are maintained, as now is expected, there will be a general overhauling of the rural free delivery carrier service
