DECISION HAS NO
 SPECIAL EFFECT
PRESIDENT CALDWELL OF CUM. BERLAND TELEPHONE co. MIN iMIzEs IMPORTANCE OF THE DEGREE AGAINST THEM.

Nashville, May 3.-President James E. Caldwell of the Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph company tonight gave to the Associated Press a statement concern ing Chancellor Alison's decision in the custer proceedings against the Cumber- land company. MT. Caldwell said:
 'The sensational reports sent out con- cerninG the decision of local judge of an inferior court in the Cumberland Tele- phone and Telegraph company case, are unwarranted. Our attorneys have appealed the case to the supreme court, where it will be tried de novo, and they have not the slightest doubt of the incorrectness of the decision which even if affirmed on appeal, could have but slight effect any way.
 The appeal vacates the decision of the inferior court, and there is now no de- Cree of any kind against the company. It will be borne in mind that this Is a fight between rivals and is not suit involving money claims. The company never was more prosperous or better established than at present. It regards the occurrence as disasreeable notoriety but as unimpor- tant and not in the slightest degree able to affect it's credit or dividends"

MEXICAN TRAVEL
 MUCH RESTRICTED
TEXAS AUTHORITIES INSIST ON ENFORCING THE QUARANTINE WHICH RECENTLY BECAME BE- FEcTlVE. .s

Laredo, Tex, May 2-The quarantine situation remains unchanged. The govern- ment refuses absolutely to permit trains to run through Monterey and other points infected by yellow fever last year with out stopping These trains must stop at all stations just as they did before the quarantine became effective. and this pre- vents travel across the border; in other words, the Mexican government refuses to recognize the quarantine established by the state of Texas. Trainmen on trains arriving from Mexican points were re- fused permission to cross the border to- day and the entire crews including Pull man employees were turned back
 The health authorities here under posi- tive instructions demand the certificates provided for in rule 8 of Dr. Tabor's re- gently promulgated regulations, and as Mexico has not received the inspectors provided for who are to issue these certi- ficates, of course nobody had such papers at present.
 The state health authorities here are not permitted to accept immune certif- cates issued by themselves. and the Uni- ted States public health and marine hos pital service physician.
 Many of the railroad men who have had the fever, and who hold certificates of immunity, are prevented from crossing the border.
 There has been a large decrease in traffic since the new regulations have been in effect.

The Synodlcal College.
1itor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 In your issue of May 1t Is something remarkable that one of our Presbyterian clergymen would use a Sunday edition in which to give his views on matters connected with our denomination.
 As an independent member of that synod l desire that facts well known to Dr. Stagg. as well as us who were in- dependent as to our vote in the matter, should be stated,
 1. It was clearly understood that at this meeting the location of the Synodical college would be definitely decided and that should Tuscaloosa presbytery loose the location of 1t in her midst by one vote that as a presbytery 1t would rally to the support of the one getting 1t.
 2. It discovered on reaching Tuscaloosa that minister in Montgomery had gone to the Mobile presbytery, or rather to members of 1t consisting of Rev. MT. Carr, Dr. Planck and Moderator of the synod, Elder Thad. Harrison, and ex- plained some facts that caused these brethren to say that under the circum- stances Mobile presbytery would send an overture to the synod asking the post ponement of the selection of a place and requesting East Alabama to make like overture. This MT. Carr and others of Mobile deny to the independent voters. Montgomery affirms
 3. On the 20th of April, however, the stated clerk of East Alabama sends out circular official by what called meet ing we do not know, saying that it was official and for every member of East Alabama to be there.
 4. Selma, In all her interest to have it located within her bounds, was open and only demanded fair show; and her grievance is this; that this is what Mont gomery. Birmingham and Anniston did not want to give her-and did not.
 As to Dr. Stagg and MT. McInwain that is matter of personal opinion, to which they are entitled as members. as to the best place and no one seeks to debar them.
 D. No one can deny that 1t was the most representative synod that has ever met in Alabama
 That the synod met for the purpose of locating the college
 That unfortunate action on the parts of individual members miscarried the object for which 1t met-Dr Stagg to the con tray notwithstanding.
