I there may be a shakeup in the large number of ofiice men.
 While there is vast deal more bus mess done on the South and North than on the Mobile and Montgomery divis- ions. stiIl the difference In the number of officials of the two divisions is some- what marked. On the Mobile and Montgomery Divisson--whish includes the Alabama and Florida branch to Graceviile and Florala and the Pine Apple branch. Superintendent ]. l. Mo- Kinney and Master of Trains Tom Mi xell, both with offices In the union sta- tion here. are the only two prominent officials of the division.
 F Mobile and Ohio C'ropeFty.
 Some years ago one of the biggest real estate deals recorded in Mont- gomery in many years was consumma- ted when the late Captain E. A. Gra- ham at that time local counsel of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Com- pany bought for unknown parties a big strip of property.
 The property included two entire city blocks extending from the, apex of the triangle formed by Coosa, Jeff fcrson and Taliapoosa Streets to Perry Street. It developed later that Cap- tain Graham had bought the property for the Mobile and Ohio or rather the Southern Railway which had absorbed the Mobile and Ohio.
 Now. all these years that property, lying in one of the valuable railroad districts in Montgomery, has been ly- ing virtually idle.
 A few weeks ago an ordinance was introduced in the City Council to givs the Mobile and Ohio the right to build spur tracks leading from the tracks, of the Belt Line on Tallapoosa Street into the property described This Belt Line is a long artery ex- tending from the shops of the Atlantic local freight warehouse of that road
 on North Court Street. Spur tracks from every railroad freight house In Montgomery except the Seaboard Air Line, Mobile and Ohio on Lee and Tai- lapoosa Streets. Louisville and Nash vile on Water Street, Western at Coo sa and Tallapoosa Streets and the
 Coast Line on North Court. lead into
 the bulk and house tracks from the | Belt Line tracks.
 l Just what the significance of this
 latest move of the Mobile and Onie | is, remains deep mystery. That
 company already has about Che most
 modern of terminals in Montgomery
 at the corner of Lee and Tailapoosa
 Streets. Whether they want to run
 tracks into their property for the, pur- pose of developing that property and
 constructing other terminals or yards
 Is one of the things that local rail-
 road people are watching with a great
 deal of interest. | At present the petition to allow the
 company to build tracks into It's prop
 erty Is held up in the council. Prob.
 ably when 1t is acted upon there will
 be some interesting developments.

Arrested on Suspicion i.

Judge Robinson, > Montgomery County negro, was arrested at o'clock yesterday afternoon by Police Captain W. H. Taylor and Patrolman John Me- Dade on suspicion.
 The suspicion arose from the low price that Robinson asked for a nice- looking Jersey COW. which he was try Ing to dispose of to a West End mer- chant. The police thought It was probable that the negro had stolen the cow and was trying to free himself Of any discriminating evidence of theft. They believed 1t better to catch him with "the goods"
 After holding the man for an hour or more without being able to fastep any offense on him. he was released.

BANDIT TRIES TO CHEAT GALLONS.
Condemned to Hang Friday, He Twice At
tempts Suicide.

Chicago. April 1s-Peter Niedermeyer. the leader
Of the ear barn bandits condemned to be hanged on
Friday made two desperate attempts at suicide To-
day His condition as result is precarious that
g. Js feared he will not survive. Should he still be
alive on Friday he will be carried to the gallows
and executed.
Niedermeyer first ate the heads OF about one hun
dred sulphur matches. While the phosphorus was
burning his stomach he sawed at the radial artery
of his left wrist with sharp pointed lead pencil
Striking a bone in the wrist he gave up trying to
sever the artery and turned his wearon TO the
large veins on the outer side OF his left forearm.
and with jabs and seesaw motion lacerated the
flesh and muscles of the and tore open the
veins. leaving a large jagged wound. through
which the blood guShcd.
His second attempt came after the wound had
been dressed by the County Physician. Neider-
MEYER was lying apparently unconscious In the hos
pitaI under a guards care. His right arm and
hand were hidden by the bed clothing. and he
slinped tho ba ndages off his left arm and away
the threads IN the wound and inserting his fore
finger into the ragged hole worked again at the
veins and sought to reach an artery.
He unconsciously groancd and made convu-
sive movement, which attracted the attention OF
the physicians, nurses and the guard. Nieder-
meyer lost large quantity or blood and was al
most pulseless for a time. The most danger, how
ever, IS from the matches hs ate.

ELY CHARGES DISMISSED
Court Upholds Acts Of Mrs. Strdnd-
hans Nephetc as Her agent.

The charge Of fraud made by the widow Of
]. S. T. Stranahan, Of Brooklyn. against her
nephew. Addison Ely, a lawyer Of Rutherford.
y. J.. dismissed yesterday by Nice-Chancel-
Tor Stevenson in the Chancery Chambers at
Jersey City. To Mrs. Stranahan was left an
estate OF 100000. and her nephew was
her confidential agent. He invested S417,OO
for her. and organized the Baldwin Land and
Improvement Company to facilitate placing her
money This company controls the Dover.
Rockaway and Port Oran Gas Company. and
is said TO be a success.
The specific charge which the complaint
OF fraud waS based was that Ely received $4,000
I'm bonds OF the American Writing Paper Com
pany to deposit and he converted them TO his
own use. The evidence showed that the bonds
were made part OF the assets OF the BALDWIN
Land and Improvement Company.
In commenting on the case the Nice-Chance-
Tor said that proof had been submitted TO
show that Mr.. Ely had mismanaged the trust.
and the court good reason for the ap-
pointment If a receiver. The affdavits show
ing the conveyance OF the property by Mrs.
Stranahan TO her nephew would Indicate that
Il was done to evade the Inheritance tax. the
court remarked. and nothing had been adduced
TO sustain the accusation against Mr.. Ely.
