Bessemer, May 3i.-(Speeial) ACTUAL
work has begun on the steel viaduct to
be erected by the Birmingham Railway
Light and Power company over the
tracks of the Frisco and Louisville and
Nashville tracks. The viaduct will be
built at Tenth avenue, which will change
the crossing from Twelfth avenue
The structure is being built by the
American Bridge company of Roanoke
Va. The viaduct will be several hundred
feet long and will do away with the
crossing at Twelfth avenue
As the viaduct will save considerable
time In the tagging and delays at the
crossing the present schedule from Bes-
semer to Birmingham will probably be
greatly shortened.

SHEA BEFORE GRAND JURY

Chicago, May 31.-Judge Kohlsaat of the
United States district court today decided
that the federal courts have jurisdiction
ever the bills for injunctIons brought by
The express companies against the strik.
ing transfers.
The attorneys for the teamsters denied
that the federal court has jurisdiction over
such bills, basing their contention on the
declaration that the express companies
are not engaged in Interstate commerce.
Attorney Mayer of the Employers assoc
citation, declared that the arguments OF
the lawyers for the union were ridiculous,
and that If the express companies were
NOT engaged in Interstate commerce, there
was no interstate commerce in the United
States.
President Shea of the Transfers union
appeared before the grand jury this af-
ternoon, and was questioned for two
hours. When questioned as to his knowl-
edge of blacklist, maintained by the ex-
press companies against the teamsters,
he was unable to tell ANYTHING definite.
he denied any conspiracy on the part
of the labor leaders and insisted that
much OF the trouble that had taken place
in the city streets had been caused by
the private detectives and other represen-
tatives of the Employers association, for
the purpose OF exciting sympathy against
the strikers.

Responsible for Murders.

1t was announced thonight that certain
of the labor leaders will tomorrow present
Taffidavits to the grand jury declaring that
Attorney Mayer of the Employers asso-
citation, and Chief of Detectives Buckmin-
ster, who has acted for the same organ

ders committed In connection with the
strike They will also endeavor to secure
indictments of the officials of the En-
ployers' Teaming company for importing
men from other cities under false pre-
lenses.
The strike was today, contrary to GER
eral expectation. very quiet.
The only increase in the number D,
strikers consisted of twelve transfers en-
ployed by the Weaver Coal company who
went out when ordered to make deliveries
to the American Express company.
All the business houses involved In the
trouble reported tonight that more wagons
had been sent out today than at any
time since the commencement of the strike

enough for me. 1t seems rather hard
that a fellow can't give away of his
surplus money in charity il he is such
a fool as to want to-"
Steinmetz was riding %stubbornly
along. Suddenly he gave a little
%chuckle-a cultural sound expressive
Of a somewhat Germanic satisfaction.
Il don't see how they can stop u.s.
he said. ''The league, Of course, is
done; it will crumble away in sheer
panic. But here in Tver they cannot
stop u.s."
He clapped his great hand on his
thigh with more glee than one would
have expected him to feel, for this
man posed as a cynic, a despiser Of
men, a scoffer at charity.
They'll find it very difficult to stop
me- muttered Paul Alexis.
1t was now dark-as dark as ever it
would be. Steinmetz peered through
the gloom toward him with a little
laugh, half tolerance, half admiration.
Far ahead of them a great white
streak bounded the horizon.
"The Volga!" said Steinmetz. "We
are almost there. And there, to the
right, is the Tversha. 1t is like a
great catapult. Colt, what a wonder
full night! All, there are the lights Of
Tver!"
They rode on without speaking
through the squalid town-the whilom
rival and the victim Of brilliant Mos
cow. They rode straight to the sta
ton, where they dined in, by the way,
one Of the best railway refreshment
rooms in the world. At ! O'clock the
night express from Moscow to st. Pc
tersburg, with its huge American loco
motive. rumbled into the station. Paul
secured a chair in the long saloon car
and then return to the platform. The
train waited twenty minutes for re-
freshments, and he still had much to
say to Steinmetz, for mi of these men
owned a principally and the other
governed 1T. They walked up and
down the long platform, smoking end
less cigarettes, talking gravely.
SteinmetZ stood on the platform and
watched the train pass slowly away
into the night. Then he went toward
a lamp and, taking a pocket handker-
chief from his pocket, examined each
corner Of it in succession. 1t was a
small pocket handkerchief Of fine cam
brio. In one corner were the initials
8. s.. B., worked neatly in white-such
embroidery as is done in st. Peters
burg.
"Ach!" exclaimed Steinmetz shortly.
Something told me that that was he"
He turned the little piece Of cambria
over and over, examining it slowly with
q heavy Germanic cunning. He had
taken this handkerchief from the body
Of the nameless rider who was now w.
ing alone on the steppe twelve miles
away.
Then he went toward the large black
stove which stands in the railway res
taurant at Tver. He opened the door
with the point Of his boot. The wood
was roaring and cracking within. He
threw the handkerchief in and closed
the door.

"Ihen you turn back at Tver?" in

silence.

now. Perhaps later, when the winter
has come, l will follow. Russia is
quiet during the winter, very quiet.
Ha, ha!'
He shrugged his shoulders and shiv-
cred. But the shiver was interrupted.
He raised himself in his saddle and
peered forward into the gathering
darkness.
What is that" he asked sharply. "on
the road in front?"
Paul had already e it.
1T looks like a horse,' he answered,
"a strayed horse, for it has no rider"
Ihey We're going west, and what lit
tie daylight there was lived on the
western horizon. The form Of the
horse, cut out in black relief against
the sky, was weird and ghostlike. 1t
was standing by the side of the road,
apparently grazing. AS they approach
ed it its outlines became more defined.
1T has a saddle" said Steinmetz at
length. What have we here?"
The beast was evidently furnishing,
for, as they came near, it never ceased
Its occupation of dragging the wizened
tufts of grass up, root and all.
what have we here?" repeated
Steinmetz.
And the two men clapped spurs to
their tired horses.
The solitary waif had a rider, but he
was not in the saddle, One foot was
caught in the stirrup,s and as the horse
moved on from tuft to tuft it dragged
Its dead master along the ground.

Her Busy Day.

She hunts about the store all day
And looks at everything,
She scrutinizes box and tray
And has the shopgirl bring
For her inspection yards Of lace
And bolts Of ribbon, too,
And then remarks, with doubling face
She hardly thinks they'll do.
She goes about from store to store
From morn till time for lunch,
And after lunch she looks some more,
For fear some little bunch
OF laces fine or ribbon gay
Her notice should escape.
She asks the price that she must pay
For that exquisite Grape.
From luncheon time till night she goe.
Upon her way intent;
She prices lingerie and hose,
But doesn't spend a cent.
The silverware attracts her next.
She fingers there awhile,
But soon she leaves the counter, vexed,
The plate is out Of style.
She looks about on every side
And questions every clerk,
She spreads confusion far and wide
And makes q lot Of work.
At last, when night is close at hand,
When fall the shadows damp,
Che goes into a drug store and
There buys a postage. stamp.
