NSOnt1nneu rom rage One.l agreed to have the e=-correctsd figures filed with the Commission.
 Montgomery Men Testified
 Hon. John P. Tillman of Birming- ham, on behalf of the railroads yes- terday introduced witnesses to testify generally as to the legitimate rate of earnings for railroads and other corpo- rations tn the State. These were A M Baldwin, President of the First Ma tional Bank of Montgomery; H. c. Da- vidson, President of the Montg omery Commercial and Industrial Association. and a prominent real estate dealer of Montgomery. and Captain W. D. West colt, a well known planter of this city. They all agreed that considering the risks of acquiring capital in the State of Alabama a return of per cent on investments for operations Is not too much" and that the same principle should apply to railroads.
 The physical endurance of President Conner is considered remarkable in view of the indisposition he is known to have suffered since the April hearing devoted to the fertilizer question. He has given no signs of relapsing during the present investigation and it is pre- dicted that he will be able to continue to the end. When the end is to be no one need venture to predict. Yester- uay when IL was thought the boulSVllIe and Nashville Railroad was virtually disposed of, its representatives were on the stand during the entire afternoon. In addition to their testimony, only that of the Nashville. Chattanooga and St Louis Railway was heard. For that line General Freight Agent c. k. Knox appeared
 Considering that the Louisville and Nashville Railroad has about ccmplet- ed its hearing. there are left the Gen. tral of Georgia Railway, the SeAboard Air Line, the Alabama Great southern Railroad, the Mobile and Ohio Railroad and the Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad. The Chairman may revert at any time to any one of the other roads which have been formally heacd So at this time it appears that, the ln- vestigation will likely run over into next week.
 There has never been any great at tendance of the public on the proceed ings of the Commission. A few Capi- tol officials drop into the hall of the House of Representatives where the hearing is being conducted but even they do not sit long. Governor Jelks looked on the investigation for a short time yesterday morning and members of the Alabama Supreme Court have at intervals heard the proceedings,

LINE 10 AUTAUGAVILLE
CENTRAL RAILROAD BE-
 GINS BUSINESS.
Tariff Sheet of New Road Is Filed With Railroad COmmissions-An- other Commercial Feeder
 to MOntGOmery.

With the filing of its rate tariffs with the Railroad Commission yeter- day the Alabama Central Railroad Company signalized the fact that it is ready for business. Indeed General Manager M. C. Stokes, who filed the rate tariffs with the Commission, an nounced that the company had already begun running trains.
 The line of the Alabama Central Railroad is from Booth Station on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, twenty miles from Montgomery to Autaugaville, a distance of eight miles and a fraction.
 The railroad line was built by the operating company and its construc- ton covered a period of nearly two years. The officers of the company, all of whom reside in Montgomery, are J. W. Dimmick, President; M. c. Stokes, General Manager and J. P. Dimmick, Treasurer.
 MT. Stokes said yesterday that the operation of this new railroad would be of vast commercial advantage to Montgomery as it would put Autauga- vile and its rich tributary section of Autauga County in daily touch with this city. Heretofore, he said, most of the trade of Autaugaville and the surrounding country has gone to Sell ma, twenty-five miles distant. The people, he said, have been anxious to do business in Montgomery. but with out railroad thlS city was almost ln- accessible.
 Our line," said MT. Stokes. ''has been built with standard gauge tracks and SO pound steel rail- We will operate a daily train making connection with trains of the Mobile and Ohio at Booth. While our schedules have not been completed we expect to run our trains so as to meet the convenience of patrons desiring to come to Montgom- cry.
 "The road runs through a section filled with fine hard wood timber and already two fine saw mills are project- ed on the inc. Five thousand bales of cotton are raised in the vicinity of Au- taugaville. This cotton has been going to Selma every year. but our line will undoubtedly divert it to Montgomery
 The offices of the Alabama Central Railroad Company are in Montgomery. The company employs about thirty men.

the Louisville and Nashville road was compelled to float debt of s20,000,005.
 Interrogated by the Chairman, MT. Smith told of how the Louisville and Nashville road owned previously by the people and the municipalities wns ace ouired in 1879 by gamblers who ought to have been sent to the penitentiary. He said the capital stock then was $e,- oo0, 900 and it was in 1891 increased to $1S,000, ,000. This he conceded to De wrong but he informed the Chairman that since that date the stockholders have foregone great dividends and paid back to the people in improvements in Alabama more than $9,000.o0o.
 MT. Smith said he was pleased to know that the Louisville and Nashville road now Is in a position where only A minority of the stock can be tam- pered with by spectators and he coa- sidered this very fortunate. not only to the road but to the patrons of the road.
 The Chairman read a statement from the New York Sun approximating the claim of full treasury claimed to have been issued by the Coast Line.
 MT. Smith said the statement came from spectators who make their liv- ing by shooting up and depressing the market and are irresponsible.
 Intricacies of Tariffs.
  with a treatment of the question of tariff construction and some of its in- tracies, He said he had. since the last meeting Of the Commission. addressed letters to the general traffic managers asking them to readJust all. inconsis- tencics and discrepancies which, he ad- mitted. must exist. He believed that the tariff problem Is such difficult one that the Commission Is not ready to disturb them so suddenly as Is pro- posed He expressed his beiief that the best way to do to remedy the oir- ferencies Is to leave the matter for the tariff clerks of the roads for adjust ment. He said every commodity has a history in a tariff.
 The investigation turned upon MT. Compton a few minutes before o'clock. He and the Chairman engaged fin A collouuy over picking ccrnpari- sons" of commodities.
 The Chairman ridiculed the quota tions of Mir. Compton on oysters In carloads, whereupon Mir. Compton said he had as much right to make that comparison as the Chairman the com parison on tombstones.
 And they are not necessities of lire, either" added Mir. Compton.
 Mir. Culp of the Southern Railway, announced that his road would reserve the right to increase the Birmingham district rates on steam and domestic coal to Anniston, Gadsden and Alabama City. ~ =
 The Chairman repeated that he wanted actual consideration Of the question of water rates on the Ten nessee River.

FALSE FIRE ALARM.

 Fire Lads.

Fun of a Negro Disturbs Serenity of
 Fire Lads.
 The Montgomery fire department had a fruitless run at 9:25 o'clock last night when the fremen answered telephone alarm from Mrs. Wards store, corner of Randolph and Pollard Streets.
 The alarm was turned in by Patrol- man Bailey, who was led to believe there was a fire in the rear of the store by the brilliant red glare that lit up the entire back Of the building. Pa trolman Huffman ran to the back of the store while Patrolman Bailey ran into the store and telephoned the alarm to the firemen.
 A negro in the yard back of the store had lighted a railroad fuse just for amusement and while the red light burned. 1t looked as if the whole neigh borhood was ablaze. When the firemen arrived, however. the fuse had burned out, and there was nothing to suggest the thought of fire anywhere about the neighborhood. The fire laddies were a bit disgrunt1ed by having to get out of their beds to answer a false alarm.
 The matter was reported to Police Captain Taylor, and he immediately called in the patrolmen to get an e&- planation of the affair, which they sup piled him.

MORNING SESSION.
Lively COIIOquys Between MT. Conner
 nnd Mr. Knox.

and MT. Knox.
 The morning session of tho Commis- sion was called to order at 10 o'clock by Chairman Conner. The Chairman reminded the railroad men that the in Vestigation proposes to reach every species of manufacture and farm pro- duct. He said the investigation is not to design against any interest.
 He referred to about 100, 900 men en- gagged in public works who were con- trasted with the larger numb CTS. of farmers who receive smaller pay. He reiterated his belief that the average wage of the farming class, including women and children, is not more than 35 cents a day plus rations. He ap- pealed for a closer relation between the farmer and the railroads.
 MT. Conner spoke of competition Tn farm labor and said there Is ''precious little competition" among the railroads in Alabama.
 A R. Smith. Traffic Manager of the Western Railway of Alabama, resumed the stand after these introductory re- marks of the Chairman. The compar~ isons of rates in Georgia and Alabama were resumed.
 The Chairman said he thought Ala bama consumers of brick were espec- ially neglected by the railroads as told of how Georgia manufacturers of brick are allowed to thus compete to unfair advantage with domestic manu lecturers.

MONTGOMERY MEN HEARD.
Messra. Baldwin, Davidson, and vest
 colt Testify for Railroads:


 The afternoon session was called to- retber at 3 o'clock by the chairman.
 Jobn P. Tillman of Birmingham, ap- ~Aeared on behalf of the railroads ana asked permission to introduce three husiness men of Montgomery as wit nesses in the investigation. They were A M Baldwin, President of the Flrst National. Bank of Montgomery; H. C' Davidson, President of the Montgomery Commercial and Industrial Association and a Teal estate agent, ana w. h. Westcott, a prominent planter.
 They all testified that, considering the risks of acquiring capital in Alaba- ma, the returns of eight per cent. per aunum on investments are not unrea- sonable for operating their business. They also knew of no reason why the same principle should not apply to the operation of railroads In Alapama'
 Before MT. Compton resumed the stand, President M. H. Smith, of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, arose and spoke a few words anent the petl- tion of citizens on the first day Of the investigation, that 50 cents ton rate be allowed to Talladega rom DIT mingham This Is the rate that ap- niles on that road to Anniston ana Ga6sden. The present rate 10 Tallade- ga is 70 cents ton.
 Mir Smith said the rate of 50 cents ton on coal was put in February 2S net, to AnnlStOn ana IduSuGH l'i NpIA sumption by iron furnaces. This, MT. smith said, seemed an apparent dis elimination against the cotton mills and other industries. He said coal IS a large part of the raw material used in The manufacture of pig iron. The coal shipped 10 Gadsden and Anniston goes in carload lots and shipments are heavy where large furnaces are in op- eration seven days in the week. It is n commercial necessity to allow these furnaces low rates in order to permit them to compete with >the furnaces which are not SO far removed from the ore mines.
 MT. smith also said not all the coal moving to Gadsden and Anniston Is shipped from Birmingham but out of points in the Birmingam district: He told of how the Louisville and Nashville read is now completing a road whereby the distance from Brook wood to Anniston and Gadsden will be reduced from 151 to- 139 miles and 1SO to no miles respectively.

Lewis COttreII Escaped Death from a
 Knife stnb.
 Willie Donnelly, a 14-year-old negro boy, is in the city prison with charge of suspicion docketed against his names and 1t is good fortune for him that the charge is not murder.
 In a fight with Lewis Cottrell "a playmate of the same age, at the corr ner of Perry and the Central Railroad of Georgia tracks at o'clock last night, Donnelly stabbed Cottrell in the right temple with a knife blade and the wounded boy narrowly escaped death from excessive loss of blood. An artery was severed and blood spurted in a steady stream all the way from the scene of the fight to the police station. where City Physician Goldthwaite hur- riedly stopped the flow of blood.
 Although exceedingly weak from the loss of blood, the Cottrell boy will re- cover from the ugly wound on the side of his head.
 When the boy came bleeding into the police sergeants office to get assist ance and report the affair, he did no9 know the name of the boy who cut him and did not know where he lived.
 Mounted Patrolmen Canty and Avanf went to work immediately on the cases and in two hours had arrested Donneliy at his home, S14 Jefferson Street, and had him under lock and key in the city prison.
