 News.

A solid train load of refugees, most of whom were from Shreveport, passed through Birmingham yesterday over the Queen and Crescent route The train wbich consisted of three coaches, a bag second section of the train due here at b:45 o'clock yesterday morning, and 1t ar rived about i o'clock.
 The train was filled with men, women and children running from the disease. one case of which has broken out fin Shreveport. The doors of all the cars were locked and no one was allowed to leave the train.
 Many of the people had not anything to eat for practically fifteen hours and were begging for something to, eat. The train was held in Birmingham for over an hour and half in order that everyone might secure all that they desired to eat.
 The pleas for something to eat. cup of coffee or even a cold bottle of beer, were pitifnl in the extreme. There were ohildrn on the train who had not been able to secure any milk for hours. and the water in the coolers had given out.
 Helped Feed Refugees.
 Probably fifty people were at the sta tion when the train arrived. and all did everything in their power to secure some- thing to eat and drink for the passen- gers. A number of young men went to the various restaurants and secured food and drink. and carried it to the train for the passengers. The lunch boys in the station did an immense business.
 The people on the train stated that it had left Shreveport in the past forty eight hours, and that each of the trains was filled with people leaving the north ern part of Louisiana,
 Another similar train load of people will probably pass through Birmingham this morning. If one does pass through the officials of the Alabama Great South ern will probably make some arrange ments before hand by which the pas sengers may be given Il better lunch at the station than they were able to secure this morning.
 The train went north about 2:S0 o'clock It ran solid until past Chattanooga, where the people were allowed to leave the cars and to go to their various destinations Most of them were enroute to northern and eastern summer resorts to remain un- til the yellow fever scare is over in Louisiana

MAY ABANDON
extra session
Pointed Out to the President That
Little Would Be Ac-
complished.
Want NO REPETITION
OF The mileage GRAB.
President, 1t Is Said, Realizes If He
Brings Members to Washington
When They Do Not Wish to Come,
and Are In a Hostile Mood, He
Can Hope to Accomplish But Lit
tie.

Washington, June Sit Is highly
probable that the president will aban-
don all thought of an extra session. He
is not prepared to say at this time that
such will be his final determination,
but he sees many reasons for so act
ing. In the last few weeks he has
talked with the speaker of the house
and with leading senators, and from
him they secured promise that he
would not call the extra session until
after the state elections in November
were all over. That would put the ex-
ira session off until at least November
Is. Not content with having secured
this concession from the chief execu-
tive, they are now urging him to await
the regular session, saying that but
little If anything, can be accomplished
in the short time between November
10 and the first Monday in December,
when the regular session will begin.
It has been said that If the extra ses-
sion is called the only business trans
acted in the two weeks it would last
would be the passage Of $4,000
mileage bill, and an adjournment
would be then taken until December.
No one credits any such talk. 1t is full
ly realized that if congress should at
tempt anything of the sort the presl-
dent would be supported by the whole
people of the country in resenting it.
The mileage grab of the last session
has caused some of the members no lit
tie trouble, and no one would come for
ward to seek repetition Of the trou-
BILE. The president is by no means in
fluenced by such representations. The
only reason why the reflection Of such
talk is told here is to show the humor
which some of the members of con-
gress are in toward the extra session
1t is in the spirit indicated that the
president is seriously considering al
this time. He realized If he brings the
members Of the two houses to Wash
ington in extra session when they dc
not wish to come and are in hostile
mood over the coming, that he car
hope to accomplish but little.
