.E.J, HAYLOW DIES
 IF CONSUME T|ON Passed Away in Denver Late
 Monday Night WAS VERY POPULAR MAN Assistant Superintendent of the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad In Bir- minqham-Promotion Has
 Been Rapid.
WAS VERY POPULAR MAN

E. J. Haylow. known in railroad circles at Doc" Haylow. assistant superintend- ent of the South and North and the Bir- mineham Mineral disvision of the Louis vile and Nashville railroad, died late Monday night at St. Anthony's infirmary in Denver.
 A telegram announcing his death was received in Birmingham yesterday morn ing, and universal regret was expressed not only in railroad circles but by a large number of friends and acquaintances.
 Death was the result of tuberculosis and from injuries he received in wreck on the Southern railway near Knoxville, Tenn, about one year ago. About a month ago he was given leave of absence and went to Denver in search of health. He rapidly grew worse and died Monday night
 There were few better known railroad men in the south, and none who were more popular. He always had kind word for every one and he immediately made a friend of every one who came in contact with him. He was considered one of the best young railroad men in the south and he was slated for further pro- motions with the Louisville and Nash vile.
 The deceased came to Birmingham in 1890 from Scio Mich, and was given the place of telegraph operator in the Eigh- teenth street yards of the Louisville and Nashville. A year later he was promoted and made copyist in the train dispatcher office and in 1892 was made dispatcher.
 He succeeded his brother as chief train dispatcher three years later and after two years in that position he was made trainmaster of the Louisville and Nash vile in Birmingham.
 l In the fall of 1904 he was badly in- 1 iured in wreck at Newmarket on the Southern railway, and his sister was kill ed at the same time. He was brought to Birmingham several weeks later, after he had partially recovered from his injuries and was promoted to assistant superin- tendent, vice J. R. Wheeler, who went to Nashville as superintendent. T. E. Brooks superintendent at Nashville, came to Bir- mingham to succeed B. M. Starks, who was made general manager.
 Among other things Doe" Haylow was an active member of the Athletic clut and he took part in many of the contests held under the auspices of the club.
 The deceased is survived by his moth CT and three sisters. Mrs. Antwine and Miss Gertrude Haylow and Miss Minnie | Haylow. The family residence is on Fiftf avenue between Twentieth and Twenty. first streets. The remains will be brought to Birmingham at once and the funera Arrangements will be announced after they | arrive.

state wished to prove by an absent wit ness. Chancellor Benners, Solicitor Hefiin and Attorney Allen retired to confer about the evidence and an agreement was reached and the lawyers then began the arguments.
 Attorney Allen opened the argument. He cited the custom in fixing the sums of balls in similar charges and declared that the size of the bond was largely due to the publicity that had been given the charge against Johnson and his wife.
 '1 contend" he said, "that this woman she had been previously placed in jeop- ardy in a court of this county for the same charge"
 Solicitor Hefin in his argument. said:
 I've are willing to give these people trial within ten days. I believe that Johnson is more guilty than the wo- man. He evidently lead her into com hitting the offense. Why did he follow the President around on his trip and why is he so mysterious about hls home and his people? My sympathy goes out TUT lHt dilu diu W1llilB 10 agree to reduction of her bond but I think it would be dangerous to turn the man out on small bond. 1 am willing for the woman's bond to be fixed at $500
 At the conclusion of Attorney Aliens closing speech Chancellor Benners an- nounced that he would fix Johnson's ball at $700 and that with the permission of the solicitor he would fix Ethel John sons bond at $500
 Both Johnson and his wife were re- turned to the county jail last night and the former made a bond which was signed by J. H. Barr and w. F. G. liar ding. Tho woman will mako bond this morning.

 Spokes of Wagon.

The little three-year-old child of Will Ellard, near Lewisburg, was seriously injured Monday afternoon by having his leg caught in the wheel of a wagon and so badly twisted as to render amputation necessary.

 Decorations Elaborate. The banquet was held in the newly built dance hall annex of the Country club. and the decorations were the most ele-
 gant ever perhaps seen on a similar oc-
 casion in the city. The tables were form ed in the shape of a parallelogram, stretching around the hall, the diners sit- ting on the outside and the inside being filled with palms and autumn foliage ar tistically Illuminated with electricity In
 the center a fountain played continuously, l and not far away, in the rear of the room, an orchestra enlivened the banquet with selections of music at frequent and ir- regular intervals.
 James Weatherly the local counsel of the Southern railway, acted as toastmas- ter and the speakers were: Samuel Spencer president of the Southern rail- way; Gen. Rufus N. Rhodes, editor of the Birmingham News; James H. Eckels. president of the Commercial National bank of Chicago; former Governor Jo- seph F. Johnston. Frank S. White, counsel of the Illinois Central railroad, and Do, II, h. l Age-Herald.
 The feature of the occasion was the speech made by President Spencer-a speech which was admitted by persons | of all shades of political opinion to be an exceedingly fair, reasonable, candid
 and convincing presentation of the gen.
 eral subject of the inter-relations of the
 people and the railways.
 MT. Spencer Introduced. | MT. Spencer was introduced by MT. l Weatherly as one who, at the age of 1O years, had left his home in Georgia come
 to Alabama, gone to work for a mere | spur of railway and risen by the might of merit until at length he had become | the president of a great railway system with a trackage of 10.0O0 miles, covering | about all the southern states. A more notable example of success won by indi- vidual effort, or of the rewards that
 await industry, ability and character | could not be cited in recent history. It
 was of itself an inspiration to the youth | of the country.
 | we welcome" said MT. Weatherly,
 lone who not only represents individual qualities, but who symbolizes in his per- | sonality the possibilities of achievement | in our land. We want to know more about him and about the railroad he
 represents. Whatever misunderstanding
 there may be, we are sure that personal | contact will enable us to compose what
