ILLINOIS CENTRAL TO
 ASK FOR PRIVILEGES

over the Frisco. All three are travelling In private cars.
 The Illinois Central expects to be run ming passenger trains into Birmingham within a year. It recently purchased three block of property in Birmingham to be used for terminal purposes and it has an agreement with the Frisco system for the use of the Birmingham belt ter minals.
 In speaking of the movement of tho Illinois Central towards Birmingham, MT. Harahan said:
 .The Illinois Central railroad Is anx- ous to get into Birmingham and tho Birmingham district, but much depends on how we are received by the city and community We have purchased neces- sary property but there are certain rights we must have before we can do any work or take definite steps to come here. We have about seventy-fve miles of road to build, from near Corinth. Miss, to Haleyville, Ala. From Haley vile we will go to Jasper, In Walker county, over the tracks of the Northern Alabama, and then from Jasper to Bir- ingham we use the tracks of the Frisco. But wa will need considerable facilities In Birmingham and to that end our rep resentative will make application.

BODY OF GARTRELL
 STILL UNCLAIMED
HAS BEEN AT UNDERTAKING Es- ENLISTMENT FOR TWO DAYS AND NO INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED.

Two days after he fell dead at the cor ner of Twentieth street and Morris ave- nue. the body of Byron E. Gartrell lies in the undertaking parlors of Lige Loy unclaimed. A score of persons have identi- fled Gartrell, and his family history has been traced back to the time he was born in Pope. Miss. about thirty-seven years ago. but no one seems to be vested with the authority to direct the undertaken as to how to dispose of the body. num- Der of persons who have called to see the body have said they remembered see ing him during his life time. and they in- variably told of some relative-a half-sis- ter Or a half-brother. or cousin or something else, but all efforts of the un- dertaker to locate them have proved in vain.
 Telegrams have been sent to B. F. Chap man, Memphis; S. W. Divine, Chatta- nooga, and MT. White at Sheffield, with a view of getting information about rela- tives of Gartrel. MT. Chapman, 1t seems, is a cousin by marriage, and he wired to hold the body until further orders It is thought by the undertaken that he wants to locate Mrs. Robert Nixon who is thought to be an only sister of the dead man. Mir. Divine answered a query by saying that Mrs. Nixon was known to him, and that she lives in Chattanooga. MT. White knew Cartrell when he was in business in Sheffield and his knowl- edge of the family seems to end there
 One of the callers yesterday said Gar trell had half-sister, Mrs. Annie Gar trell. living in Atlanta. It was said she is the wife of policeman. A message will probably be sent to her today.
 Gartrell had sufficient money on his person to give him first-class burial. even if the sister is not located, but the undertaken is desirous of finding her or some other relatives, and will hold the body for several daysc. Gartrell reached Birmingham November from Memphis. and fell on the street Thursday after noon at o'clock. He died in a few min utes. About sl24.65 was found In his pocket

JUDGE DICKINSON
 PRAISES THE CITY
GENERAL COUNSEL OF ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD SPENDS A DAY IN BIRMINGHAM AND HE TALKS OF DEVELOPMENT.

Judge J. M. Dickinson of Chicago. gem eral counsel of the Illinois Central Rail- road company and one of the most dis tinguished authorities on international law, spent yesterday in Birmingham. ar rivlng here in the morning in his special car and leaving for home at o'clock last night. Accompanying Judge Diclxin- son was his eldest son, John O. Dckin- son of Nashville.
 Judge Dickinson passed the afternoon in inspecting the newly purchased prop erty of the Illinois Central on First and Second avenues, and in riding throughout the city In the evening he was the guest at a dinner given in his honor at the Country club by Gen. Rufus N Rhodes, one of his warm personal friends
 Tt is many years since l was here in Birmingham" said Judge Dickinson last night. in speaking of his impressions of the city, and I cannot refrain from ex- pressing my admiration for the wonder full development that has marked the history of this city had of course read of its progress and prosperity, but 1t was both a pleasure and a surprise to iiiOs NHci tAdhiiiliHS SVHNitioIiS Hblc di close range, to remark the sure founda- ton upon which this community has been built and the healthy growth along lines of its achievement. l was especially in- terested in the excellent condition of what might be called the physical side of the citys life-the quality and extent of its paved streets and sidewalks it's state- ly churches. It's impressive office struc- lures and it's numerous and handsome school buildings. Indications are plenti- full here, it seems to me, that Brming- ham, while striding forward ndustrialy, is at the same time paying diligent att tention to Its intellectual and spiritual life.
 Tt goes without saying" he continued, that, Birmingham and the Birmingham district have notably attracted the att tention of the financial world. Tn the rail- way world the district holds prominent position. All lines are seeking entrance to the city The Illinois Central in recently investing here s550000, demonstrated the faith 1t has in this, the most virie city of the south.
 T have enjoyed being here, and shall remember gratefully the gracious courtesy that has been shown me by the people of Birmingham"

RAID IS MADE ON
 OLD OPERA HOUSE
TEN MEN ARE ARRESTED IN AN ALLEGED GAMBLING HOUSE--PO- LICE CLIMB LADDER AND GO THROUGH WINDOW.

Ten arrests were made In a raid on an alleged gambling room in the old O'Brien opera house at 1:30 o'clock this morn ing. The raid was personally conducted by Chief of Police Wier, who was assisted by Lieutenant Hagood and Policemen Parker, Burson and Maloney. A regular gambling outfit, consisting of card tables, chips and other paraphernalia, was con fiscated and hauled to the police station in a patrol wagon.
 The raid was so quietly executed that no one in the room knew the officers were in the building until they reached the door leading to a room back of what was formerly the gallery of the theatre. white man and a negro attendant tried to keep the door closed, but the combined weight of the four officers forced 1t open, and the two men who held 1t were the first placed under arrest. They were charged with interfering with an officer. Violations of the Sunday law was the charge made against the other men ar rested
 Although entrance to the building could have been made up the steps leading from First avenue, Chief Wier wanted to get to the room In which the men were sup posed to be playing before they had time to know they were detected. A step lad der was placed on the sidewalk on Nine tenth street, and the officers climbed through a window on the first floor. On the inside they found themsevles on the barren floor of what was once the gal lery. Walking on tip toe they crossed the wide floor until they reached the door leading to room from which they could hear a number of voices. After everything was ready the knob was turned. It re- fused to yield and then came a demand from the chief for 1t to be opened Im- mediately there was consternation on the Inside. and general scramble to get out. In the mix-up that followed number got away, some of them with pockets well filled with chips. Ten were made to give bond for their appearance In police court tomorrow morning, and the outfit, includ- ing lot of beer and whisky was carted to headquarters. where 1t will be de- stroyed.

 From the number of unvaccinated chill dren who have come into the city since the past school term, would judge that there must be quite number of adults also unvaccinated. I would urge that all those who give employment to these men and women should insist that they be vaccinated.
 Tn my last report called attention to the fact that our streets in the business portion of the city were not kept as clean as they might be. I regret that some definite action is not taken, looking to improvement in this direction. Respect fully submitted, R. B. FAIRNESS,

 Conscience stricken and weary of beat ing around the world from pillar to post, Joseph Ewing surrendered to Policeman Shoot and said he was wanted in Nash vile for theft of money.
 'Ye gods and little fishes!' exclaimed Shoot, who had never before in Birming- ham met man who was so willing to make a confession of a criminal act, much less the admission of being con scious stricken.
 The policeman eyed Ewing with sus- picion.

THE WOMAN-HATER.v
Harry Bcresford Entertalns Audience
 at the Jefferson Theatre.

Harry Beresford played 'erhe Woman Hater" at the Jefferson theatre last night to an appreciative audience He is clever comedian, master of drollery and effective in the roles which he es- says. "The Woman-Hater" lacks cohesion and is more of farce than comedy but contains many bright lines and is made quite laughable by MT. Beresford. However, 1t is far cry from ''The Pro- fessor's Love Story a play which MT. Beresford presented in such a charm Ing manner that 1t Is to be regretted that he has not elected to continue in a role which suited him so admirably.
