oId MemorIes RrcnlIea.

The collision between the United Fruit Company.s steamship Esparta, the largest of that company's fleet and the largest in importing fruit into the United States. with the tender shin Magnolia, on which was President The odore Roosevelt, in the Mississippi River below New Orleans, has awak- ened old memories among citizens here.
 Among the "reminiscences is one of peculiar interest. A weil-known Mo- bilian this morning said 1t recalled a collision which occurred six years ago, almost on the identical spot as that of the Esparata and the Magnolia. The United States lighthouse tender Ar butus. which Is a frequent visitor to this port, was in collision with a fruit steamship, the Gorge Dumois. The tug Argo, he said, was sent out of New Orleans by The Picayune Publishing Company to the scene of the wreck. One of the reporters for the New Or leans journal never returned. He was drowned and the manner of his death is as speculation.

In order to give good service all around and, to prevent the car shortage. high officials of the rail- roads have recently been calling on the larger manufacturers in this district and requesting that they promptly ur- load cars receivedsand In turn the rail- roads would ask those receiving the various products from this district to promptly unload them and return them to the district. Initial lines on freight out of Birmingham are discussing the propriety of asking connecting lines to furnish car for every loaded car re- ceived from the Birmingham district, so that there will be the same number of cars for the use of the shippers in this district at all times.
