" HE declaration of Director s. M.
 Inman of the Southern railroad
 that his corporation is consider ing the building of a short line from Gainesville to Rome Ga, it is said sur prises no railroad nan or no man who un- derstands the situation. The Southern now has a line from Rome via Attalla to Bir- mingham, and if the gap between Gaines vile and Rome were filled the trunk line of the great system between Birrning- ham and Washington would be shortened to the extent of eighty-nine miles
 Gainesville is about fifty miles above Atlanta, in Hall county. Rome is in Floyd county. In between them lie Barrow. Cherokee and Forsyth counties. The track to be laid in order to save eighty nine miles is probably about seventy-five miles. The proposition is therefore very enticing to railroad men, especially in

INDUSTRIAL PARTY
 VISITS BIRMINGHAM
R. H. SAYRE, A. N. CLEANER AND
 w. A. LATHROP WILL LOOK
 OVER PROPERTIES IN WHICH THEY HOLD LARGE INTERESTS.

Robert H. Sayre and A. N. C1eaver of South Bethlehem, and w. A. Lathrop of Wilkesbarre, Pay arrived in the city last night, and will today go to the property of the former at Sayre. The three gen. tlemen are among the most prominent in the Lehigh valley coal region, and are also interested in companies which nave large holdings in Alabama.
 MT. Sayre was one of the original members of the Pioneer Mining and Man ufacturing company, which made large improvements in properties in and around Birmingham, and he is now here looking over several thousand acres of valuable coal and other lands which he owns at Sayre, a station of the Northern Ala bama railroad, about forty miles from Birmingham. He is president of the Sayre Mining and Manufacturing company.
 MT. Cleaver is interested in and con- nected with a number of large companies which. operate in the Lehigh valley be. twes6 Bethlehem and Scranton. MT. La. throp is president of the Pennsylvania Coal and Coke company, and also largely interested in the Pittsburg Coal company They are also interested in Alabama coa and iron lands.
 The party, accompanied by J. H. Ad. ans and others. who are local represen. tatives, will leave this morning for Sayre on a special train to inspect the coal lands around Sayre, where extensive improve ments are being made. The party will probably return to Birmingham tomorrow afternoon. The gentlemen will be in the Birmingham district until Tuesday look ing over properties.

SIGNAL CORPS IS
 ADDED TO MILITIA
ORGANIZATION OF BIRMINGHAM COMPANY IS ABOUT COMPLETE AND PETITION TO BE MUSTERED IN GOES SATURDAY..

The organization of the signal corps to be attached to the First brigade, A. N. G.. is about completed, and the petition of the corps to be mustered into the ser- Saturday,
 The petition is signed by about fifty men, most of whom are electricians, tele- graph operators, or who have some knowledge of both. Organizations of the corps has been in progress for several months, and everything Is about complete for the petition to be sent to the of ficials.
 It is understood that the corps will be mustered in at once, as the military au- thorities of the state are anxious that there should be such a branch to the service. A signal corps is attached to the state militia of nearly every state, and has proven one of the most successful branches.
 Ted Joy, Frank Jones, Ed Patallo and others have been working on the organ ization for a long time, and 1t Is probable that when it is completed they will be elected officers. MT. Joy will probably be the captain, as he was the originator of the movement.
 The signal corps is the highest grade of the service, the officers and men ranking very high, and also receiving higher pay than in other branches. A corps generally consists of about fifty or sixty men when attached to a brigade like the one in Alabama.
 When this organization is completed 1t will give Birmingham six military organ izations There are three companies of infantry, one battery of artillery one troop of cavalry and the signal corps will make the sixth organization.

THE LYMAN PROPOSITION
 MEANS MUCH TO ALABAMA

view of the growth of the Alabama and Mississippi sections of the system.
 The filling of the gap would give traffic from this district and all other parts of Alabama and Mississippi an almost direct line to Charlotte, Richmond, Washington and New York.
 The tonnage of this district alone is fully 2o,o0o.00o of tons. besides which the tonnage of Atlanta is a mere bagatene. The great traffic of this district growing greater every year, it is said, should not be trundled over a series of adverse ridges to Atlanta. when it could be car ried to Gainesville on the Southern trunk line over more favorable grades and at a saving in distance of eighty-nine miles. Railroad men say mere statement of the situation explains the need and wis., dom of building the Gainesville Rome short cut. They further say if it is not built at once. it certainly will be in the course of five years.

SCHULERS SECURE MINES AT ALTOONA Underwood Coal Co. Property Sells for Nearly $300,000. COAL WAS BADLY NEEDED When Short Line Is Completed to Gadsden All the schuer Properties
 Will Be on Direct Line From
 Bessemer to Gadsden.
COAL WAS BADLY NEEDED

After several weeks of negotiation the properties of the Underwood Coal com pany at Altoona, in Blount county. have passed into control of the Alabama Steel and Wire company, whose main furnace and steel plant is now located at Gads- den. The consideration is in the neigh borhood of ssoOOOo.
 The Alabama Steel and Iron company is largely owned by George H. Schuler and D. T. 5chuler and it has been known for some time that they were anxious to secure the Altoona property. Negotiations were then begun with ". T. Underwood and associates and the deal was finally consummated at what is considered a very flattering price.
 The daily output of the Uunderwood Coal company is about 800 tons a day. The coal is of a superior quality and is used for both steam and coking purposes. It also mixes we'll with coke for use in furnaces. For some time past the Alabama Steel and Wire company has had considerable difficulty in securing coal to operate it's various plants. In fact the rod anu nail mill at Ensley was forced to shut .own yesterday for lack of coal

MUCH STUDY OF
 HUNTSVILLE CASE Lawyers Deeply Interested in Judge Jones' Charge. A BIG QUESTION RAISED Those Who Agree With Judge Jones
 Say His Charge Was Made in the Best Interests of the State.
A BIG QUESTION RAISED

In view of the recent widespread dis eussion of the charge delivered to a fed eral grand jury at Huntsville by Judge Thomas c. Jones, in which he held that the mob at that place had violated the shirteenth amendment to the constitution and were liable to indictment by grand jury in the United States court, many lawyers have given the question much study but as yet there Is consideraole difference of opinion as to the correct ness of the rather unique position.
 For fear that Judge Jones might be put in false light before the people or his state some of his friends say that he is eminently correct in his opinion and that he delivered the charge for the welfare of the state. They say that he regrets that he is unable, on account or his Judicial position. to answer some or the attacks on him made in political speeches.

Properties of the schuIers.

The properties of the Alabama Steel and Wire company consists of the Virginia mines. near Besseme9; the rod and nail mill at Ensley the cteel mill and fur mace at Gadsden and now the mines of the Underwood coal company at Altoo- na.
 In view of the scarcity of coal it be- came very necessary for the Schulers to get possession of the Underwood prop erty. This was made doubly necessary on account of the fact that the mine Is To- cated within twelve miles of Gadsden. Altoona Is the terminus of the branch of the Louisville and Nashvilie railroad be- tween Birmingham and that place. That road is now building a short road from Altoona to Gadsden, however, and when that Is completed the Schulers will have their properties located on direct line With Birmingham practically the working center. The short road from Altoona to Gadsden will be ready for operation in December
