TO ANSWER TOMORROW
MATTER OF STREET RAILWAYS AND
 RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Birmingham Company Cited to Appear and Show Why it Should Not be Treated as Common
 Carrier.

The regular monthly, meeting of the Alabama Railroad Commission tomor- row morning should prove one or the most interesting in the acts and do- ings" of that body.
 The Commissioners will hear rom the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company of Birmingham, the reasons why it's officers should not be compelled to file it's tariffs with the Commission just as the regular freight and passen- ger carriers do under the law. Pres- ident Robert Jemison, of the railway company, has been cited to appear to- morrow and show cause why his cor poration shuld not be put under State supervision.
 The summons for the street railway s appearance was ordered at the last meeting of the Commission on Novem- Der q Then Commissioner w. T. San ders, after a careful study of the com pany's charter and the law regulating the Commission, made motion which resulted in the order. The action was first intimated in the meeting previous to the last when President B. B. Conner suggested that street railway compa- nIes are amenable to the law, especially if they haul freight.
 Commissioner Sanders at that meet ing determined to make thorough in- vestigation of the question. He admit ted that he was surprised to find that the charter of the Birmingham Rail- way. Light and Power Company grant ed by the Legislature gives it the right to haul persons and property over it's lines and collect fares and tolls for the service, just as railroads. He said, in making his motion for citing the .ornpany to appear, that he strongly be- Iieved the traction company should be made to file its tariffs for approval if it is a fact that freight is hauled over the lines from one point to another.
 The Birmingham company IS the largest street railway concern in the state and one of the largest in the South. It has capital stock of $1O,- 00O, 900 and operates more than hum dred miles of railway. It connects Bir- mingham with Ensley. East Lake. Bes- semer, North Birmingham, Gate City Avondale and all the suburbs. The lines ..un from one municipality to an- other and it Is an open fact that a freight business is carried on by the company. a freight business that com petes with a few of the railroads enter ing Birmingham.
 Just what will be done by the Com mission after the company is heard {. from tomorrow will be awaited with interest. It has been suggested that il the street railway companies are to be under State regulation they may apply for the right to put on 3-cent fare just as the big carriers do. Supposine that this would be done, it can be seen that there would be no little objection from the City Council of Ensley. which Is struggling for a 5-cent fare for the trip between that city and Birming' ham. This, it is believed, would not be possible because even if the street cal companies were put under supervision
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-12-03

they would still be put in a distinct class as far as the passenger traffic Is concerned.
 Another matter of still more general interest to be taken up tomorrow ia the question of freight rates from points in Alabama to cotton mills in the State on tile raw product. It is pre- dicted by many that some sort of re- duced rate will be conceded by all the railroads on cotton of this class of shipment
 The meeting should begin tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.

TO TELL POTTERY.
How It May Be Distinguished from
 Porcelain.


 Porcelain.
 How shall know pottery from porceIain?' Is question often ask ed. They may be distinguished by the following very simple test: If you hold your piece up to the light and can see through it--that is, if it is trans lucent--it Is porcelain, Pottery Is opaque, and is not so hard and white as porcelain. The main differences in the manufacture, of stoneware. earth enware and porcelain are due to the ingredients used. to the way they are mixed and to the degree of heat to which they are subjected to in firing Most of the old English wares found In this country are pottery of semi china, although the term china is com monly applied to them all. The pot teries in Staffordshire. covering m area tan miles long, were the most iIn- portant In England. These pottery wares were sold at ridiculously low prices when they were first made, and the price has risen little by little until

New Presbyterian Church at Terra
Alta Dedicated.

The new Presbyterian church at
Terra Alta was formally dedicated
Sunday and under very favorable
circumstances. The service occurred
at ten-thirty o'clock, and the dedica-
tory sermon was preached by Rev.
the West Virginia Presbytery, who
had presented the congregation with
the beautiful pulpit, and behind
which he was first to stand. His SER
mon was a beautiful one and was well
received by an audience that packed
every portion of the handsome new
ediiice. Other talent participating in
the dedicatOry service was Mrs. Ridg-
ely, Organist of the First Presby terian
church who presided at the pipe Or
gan, and Mrs. G. A. Bolden, who sang
two solos. The building committee
of the new church, in rendering its
report, showed that the entire prop
erty was paid for with the exception
of two hundred dollars, which sum
that committee then and there sub
scribed, thus paying all indebtedness
against the church. The lot, quite a
valuable one, situated as it is in the
heart of the city, was presented to
the congregation by the late Hon.
John P. Jones, and in memory Of all
that he had been to the church Sun
day nights service was more on the
nature of a memorial service, in hon
or of this kindly gentleman. Mr..
Jones was an ardent and self-sacrifiC-
ing friend of the church throughout
his entire life time, and when he pass
ed away his loss was very deeply felt
by the Presbyterian chu "ch, of which
he had been life member, as we'll as
by all other religious denominations
of that city and section. Mr. Scott
L. Jones, cashier of the Garrett Ma
tional Bank of Oakland, a son of the
deceased, made an address upon rec
elections of his saUhers relations with
the church.

THE society for prevention of to-
berculosis sends out this statement,
which seems good logic:
"A great deal is being said and
written these days about the fresh
air treatment for consumption, and
it is all good. Fresh air is good for
many things, but most of all it is
good for people, sick or well. Most
folks do not get enough of it. They
live too much in doors. If people
spent more hours III the open, and
were keener to have fresh air in their
offices and houses, there would be
much less illness of all sorts, but es-
pecially there would be less consump-
ton. tuberculosis is primarily dis
ease of the house, and it is most fre-
quently contracted in those houses
where there is little fresh air and
light, and where consumptives haye
lived. The germs of tuberculosis can
not live in fresh air and sunlight, but
may live for years in dark, damp
rooms.

P. T. Cartwright.
Mr.. Jacobs Has Narrow Escape.

Hon. William H. Jacobs, prosper
Gus farmer and member of the House
of Delegates is 1898, residing in Gar
rett county, had a miraculous escape
from death Saturday morning. Mr..
Jacobs was driving a pair of horses
which were hitched to a heavy, top
covered spring wagon. In making
the the turn to drive into the lot at
the rear of Sloan's store, on Church
street, the heavy top upset the wagon,
throwing Mr.. Jacobs under the wheels
and near the horses hoofs. Forum
ately, the horses did not scare and
Mr.. Jacobs life was saved. He was
lifted up in an unconscious condition
and carried into the Dixon residence,
where he was revived and the blood
and dust removed from his face. 1t
was found on examination that his
injuries consisted of severe but not
serious bruises about the face and
shoulders.
Mr.. Jacobs transacted his business
as usual after having had his wounds
dressed by DR.. J. O. Bullock.-Lona-

SENATOR GORMAN's speech before
the MARYLAND Democratic state con-
vention was in perfect harmony with
the sipgle-plank platform adopted
concerning negro Acknowledgement.
The idea of German quitting office
voluntarily takes ones credulity. He
expects by eliminating the compare
lively small negro vote in Maryland
to make his machine inyincible, even
in the hands of German, Jr., who is

The people of Garrett are about
tired of this tinkering with the bal
lot laws which at each session of the
Legislature are made more unreason-

Abe" again above the Republican
ticket and have honesty in place of
tricks and devices to cheat the voter

more trick has been added to this
long list. The words Republican and
