to action taken at the hearing on the

the capital at whic Russia and Japan
viii adjust their differences. 1t is
believed that Russia would welcome
the selection of Washington because
of the presence here of Count Cassini,
who snows the eastern question
thoroughly, and who because of his
long acquaintance with Secretary Hay
and the fact that he is dean of the
diplomatic corps, enjoys a prestige not
shared by every Russian ambassador.
1t is thought also that Japan would
not look askance at the suggestion of
Washington as the scene Of peace ne
gotiations. Her minister here is pop
ular and for some time has enjoyed
an intimate friendship with Secre-
tary Hay.

ABOLITION OF FREE CAR
PASSES CAUSES GOSSIP

very few Of the aldermen or reporters
could catch the vote but the records
show that the resolution was adopted.
An interesting fact in connection with
the abolition of passes is that while the
resolution says no alderman or city Of
ficial shall accept such free transporta-
tom it does not say what will happen to
them IL they do. In other words there is
no penalty attached to a violation. AS one
city official said yesterday this is not a
violation of the old rule that there is al
ways way around a serious PROPOSE
ton IL you know how to go about it.
Mr.. Gray said yesterday that there was
not much to discuss about the resolution.
Il think 1t is for the best interests of the
city," he said land for that reason l in
troduced It,"
The resolution reads as follows:
BE 1t resolved by the Mayor and AL
dermen of Birmingham, That 1t is inim-
ical to the best interests of the City of
Birmingham that any alderman or other
city official accept any pass from the
birmingham Railway, Light and Power
company, and that In the future no al
derman or city official or employee shall
accept such free transportation"

THE WILKINSON STEAM TURBINE
Birmingham Invention Is Attracting
Very Wide Attention.

''The Iron Trade Review of Cleve-
land, o., one of the leading trad, jour-
nails of America, in it's issue of December
20. 1904 said:
1.-THE Wilkinson Turbine Co.. of Biz
mingham Ala, describes the Wilkinson
steam turbine as of the impact multiple
stage type. Diaphram partitions divide the
interior of the turbine into several COM
partments or stages in each of which
there is operated a bucket wheel firmly
attached to a common shaft. A number
OF passages admit the supply of steam
through the diaphragm partitions, caus-
ing 1t ii impinge against buckets on the
wheel in each stage. The full energy of the
steam is distracted fractionally and in
equal parts for each stage. thereby Civ
ing to each bucket wheel the same power
and va1ocity. The controller mechanism
being adapted to open and close the
nozzles successfully as the load on the
turbine increases or decreases VIII act
to supply the steam to the turbine at
varying loads.
"The Wilkinson turbine. following It's
principles of construction and operation
has been adapted to reversing by the
provision Of a seconl row of buckets
mounted upon the row of buckets Sc
cured to each wheel. In this manner the
bucket wheels have two rows of peri
pheral rows of buckets superimposed one
or the other, the outer row being re-
versey disposed to the other set of
buckets and adapted to receive the steam
from a different direction. In order to
attain a reduced steam at full eff
cheney the turbine has been provided
with third set of buckets mounted
upon the head blocks OF the outer or
reversing buckets above mentioned. The
buckets of this third set are so arranged
in two parallel rows which have between
them a row of stationery guides or in
termedates attached to the casing. A
third set of Waived nozzles control the
supply OF steam to this outer set and
the steam is abstrsNted by twice as many
rows of buckets as when 1t is flowing
through either of the inner sets Of noz-
zles and buckets"

Hugh Gallagher Lives at New Decatur
Well Known and Popular.

The inquiry by Alden o. Gallagher of
Boston, regarding the whereabouts Of one
Hugh Gallagher, Confederate veteran,
who was supposed to be somewhere in
Alabama, has been answered.
T. M. McGough, a well-known young
man of Birmingham, called up The Age
Herald over the telephone yesterday af
ternoon and said that he was well ac-
uuainted with the Hugh Gallaher men
toned. "Mr. Gallagher lives in New De-
catur," said Mr.. McGough, land letter
addressed to him there in care of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad shops
will reach him. Mr.. Gallagher is very
old man, and is very popular with those
who know him. He has one son and two
daughters, all of whom are grown. These
children live with him in New Decatur"
The letter written to The Age-Herald
by the Mr.. Gallagher OF Boston stated
that the last 4 ard Of Hugh Gallagher
he was in Decatur, so 1t seems that there
Is no question about him being the man
sought. Mr.. gallagher of Boston further
stated that ugh Gallagher was a very
daring soldier. having had ten horses shot
from under him during the war
