Hitch in Railway Schedules.

The schedules of morning trains on the Western and the Southern Railway have been so arranged that the Westerns pas senger train No. 43 from Montgomery. makes connection in Selma with the Southern's No. 19 from this city to Me ridian Passengers from the east are thus relieved of a wait of several hours in this city and are enabled to make con- nections at Meridian for New Orleans and the West.
 The east bound train on the Southern. No. 20. from Meridian to Selma, does not, however, connect with the Westerns No A from Selma to Montgomery, arriving here at 5:4O p. m., one hour and forty minutes after the departure of the Vest ern. Passengers going to Montgomery spend the night in Selma, leaving for the capital at 5 a. m. It is hoped that some arrangement will be made. but 1t Is re- ported that the Southern, claiming that 1t made concessions in regard to trafnc west bound will ask the Western to do It's part in regard to the other direction. The Western, however. leaving here at p. m.. makes close connections with sev- eral trains in Montgomery and can hard ly postpone departure from this city un- til $40 D. m.

 THE oFFIEC.
Selma Man No Longer Candidate for the Presidency of the Rail- road Commission-Cen-
 tral City News.
Advertiser Bureau,

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, March 21. Frank NJ. Donner is no longer a candi- date for the presidency of the Railroad Commission of Alabama. He is in favor of the reelection of John V. Smith. he said to-day, and would use his strength in support of MT. Smith.
 Major Donner in announcing to rep- resentative of The Advertiser that he had withdrawn from the race. made only . brief statement:
 T had a conference with prominent men in Birmingham yesterday" he said. and decided that a continuance of my campaign would be inexpedient. I wish to see President Smith reelected to the position and I shall give him all the as- distance I can. The Brotherhood of Lo- comotive Engineers in Birmingham en- dorsed Mir. Smith yesterday. and I think he is the favorite of most railroad men. I am very grateful to those who support ed me. There is nothing more to be said"
 To some Major Donner's act will bs surprising. Until a few days ago he un- hesitatingly declared that he was in the race to the finish. There has been little opportunity to estimate his political strength in the State. but in Dallas coun- ty he is very popular and he had a large local following. His retirement Is regard ed by most people here as helpful to John " Smith.
 Major Donner's candidacy was endorsed by the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers, Selma division. but an endorse ment of Mir. Smiths is not indicated. An engineer said to-day: MT. Donner is one of us and we took pleasure in en- dorsing him. Our order has nothing of t.n n,.I Ir Hnkt ktnr we shall endorse MT. Smith or any one else 70

Women Money Lenders,

Not many women have been known as money lenders in recent years. But there are many hundreds who carry on the business.
 They are of all classes, from the lady| who pays for her dresses and carriages out of the quarterly interest to the ex-l factory woman who scrapes together odd sums from her husbands housekeeping allowance and lends them to poor work girls in the district. charging them g cents interest on every 25. Then there are money flanders among women fin busi- ness. The deplorable habit of borrowing money seems to be increasing among all classes.

General Kuroki's Headquarters in

2S.-The Russians are accommodating
along the japanese frontier with a
large force Of cavalry, supported by
guns. With three guns, they appear
ed yesterday evening within six thous
and yards of Yentai station, and
threw a few shells at the station
They continued the cannonading at in.

on the Mukden road extends from
Shulipo, eight miles north Of Yentai,

Toxic, Sept. 23.-While official con-
firmation is lacking, it seems certain
that the Japanese possess y fort on
another height westward Ct Itzshan,
which they carried by des )erate as
saults, and have since resis ed all at
tempts to recapture by the Russians.
Both these heights overlooI Port Ar

the Russian casualties at Lao Yang,
showing $40 men were killed, that
1851 were wounded ani that 1927

mental officers were killed and 252

OF those wounded Az Lao Yang,

"The Red Cross institutions here

shall go to the far east.

main army of the Japanese is about
twenty-five miles south, under Gen
eral Kuroli, with two divisions at

northward. The outposts are in touch
near Yentai and skirmishes between
outposts and patrol parties occur
daily. 1t is believed that the Rus
SLAMS are gathering a force at Yentai
preparatory to making a strong stand
for the protection of the coal mines.
The Japanese are rapidly changing

SITUATION REMAINS A BLANK.

From Front.

from Front.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 22.-There is
further delay in the receipt Of deci-
sive news from the front. The situa-
ton at present remains a blank,
though it is felt that important de-
velopments may be even now occur
ring there. The movements in the
north are still of tentative and pre-
paratory character on both sides,
which have not yet crystalized into a
definite clash Of forces at any one
advance Is now expected to occur any
day.
It is the third week since the fight
ing at Lao Yang, and the Japanese
have had time to transport reinforce
ments from Yin Kow and bring up
sufficient men to the front to replace
their losses, but 1t is not improbable
that several days will intervene be-
fore the armies come to close quar-
ters. The interval is being devoted on
both sides to the feeling of the
strength and disposition Of the oppos-
ing forces. The Japanese probably
will attempt to capture the passes Of
the Da mountain range, running half
way between the Hun and Tai Use
rivers. The possession of the passes
is important for the Japanese, as it
will not only enable them to march
northward, but also screen them-
selves from the gaze Of Russian
scouts.
1t is fully appreciated here that the
Japanese must try for the possession
Of Mukden as otherwise it will be diff
cult for them to provide the army
with winter quarters. Lao Yang does
not afford sufficient accommodation,
although many houses there escaped
destruction in the recent battle. Nov
able houses are quite unsuitable for
the housing Of Japanese owing to the
severity OF the climate. The average
winter tempera ture there is 40 de-
grees below zero and the cold is in
tensified by continual winds and an
almost entire absence of snow. In
spite Of this, however, the campaign
probably will continue during the win
ter If the Japanese succeed in getting
into Mukden. In this contingency,
General Kuropatkin, for various rea-
sons will not be likely to allow the
Japanese to remain in undisturhed
possession Of this point, which is i'm.
portant not only from strategic but
nnlitcal point of view.
