Ohio's Twe-Cent Law.

Some railroads charge passengers but two cents mile, but such roads lie in thielly-populated districts. Some railroads are forbidden by their char ters to charge more than two cents a mile. The New York Central is one of those roads. But the first state : to pass an indiscriminating twocent rate bill is Ohio, and the new law goes into effect on March 10. It is to be applied to all the railroads of that state, whether they are trunk lines or mere branch roads commanding scarcely more passenger business than stage line.
 The railroads of Ohio have decided to give the new law fair trial They will not fight it in the courts, nor will they ask the present legislature for a modification of the law. It will be tested fairly and fully, and then the results will be laid before the people of Ohio. It will be given trial in the hope that the reduction will not prove harmful-in other words. that 1t will develop enough new business to make good all losses, so that the railroads can earn a fair return while maintaining a service as good .as that now in use.
 The Ohio experiment will be watched with interest in the more populous states. No cotton state is, however, in that class.

BANk OF AMERICA WRECK.
Stockholders Plan to Present Evidence
 Against Officers.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
 Evidence against those blamed for the wrecking of the Bank of America will be presented Monday to States Attorney Healy and indictments sought from the grand Jury. This was the statement yes terday of Eli B. Felsenthal counsel for a number of the stockholders.
 According to Attorney Melsenthal, the evidence will relate principally to the acts of President Smith, Vice President Sor row and Frank E. Creelman. The facts so far disclosed by the examination of the banks affairs, he asserts, seem to warrant prosecution on charges of con- spiracy to defraud and conspiracy to commit an illegal act. The attorney be- lives that clear case can be established He refuses to say what may be done as to Cashier J. V. Pierce.
 Of an affidavit signed by the directors, in which 1t was alleged that all of the capital stock had been paid in cash and was to be used in legitimate business MT. Felsenthal said:
 This affidavit shows conspiracy, as 1t was attached to an application for a charter made to the state auditor. h. vestigation has shown that 1t contains false statments, as the capital stock was withdrawn as soon as the bank started and notes substituted"
 Receiver Healy was chagrined yesterday when he found that a number of diamonds reported valuable were not in Vice Presi- dent Sorrows safety deposit box in the Chamber of Commerce building. Deputy Sheriff Henry Higgins seized the box un- der an attachment for $6515.2 .2 against Vice President Sorrow and his wife on charges that the two were about to con ceal their property to delay creditors. A box thought to contain jewelry was dis covered to be empty. MT. Healy proposes to ask Sorrow what became of diamonds recently bought by him. Some mining stock insurance papers and a good watch were found.
 Attorney clarence Darrow reported that the Defiance City Bank of Defiance, O., was in good condition and that the Bank of America might realize on Defiance stock held as security
 United States Judge Landis yesterday appointed J. J. Knickerbocker receiver for the Illinois Hardwood Lumber company, In which Frank M. Creelman owns a majority of the stock.
 Mrs Abner Smith, wife of President Smith of the Bank of America, is record ed as owning s10, 900 worth of the stock.
 Benjamin F. DeMuth, director of the Jackson Trust and Savings bank, an- nounced that there would be a reorganl- zation and that it's capital stock would probably be doubled. Bank Examiner Jones issued a statement that the lnstitu- ton was perfectly sound. At a meeting of the directors Daniel Peterkin, private secretary to Joy Morton, and Attorney Elmer H. Adams were chosen directors and A. M. Rades was made assistant cashier. The days deposits were reported large.

Punctuality.

T attended the Washington birthday exercises at the High school last week. and the thing that impressed me most was the strict punetuality' said busi ness man last night.
 T believe that Birmingham is worse than most cities in punctuality, and I was glad to notice that this important branch of education, for It Is part of education. is so emphasized in our schools. The exercises the other morning were announced for 10:9O o'clock. At 1O:1s o'clock the gong sounded and at the ap- pointed time to the minute, the opening hymn had been announced. I found that the penalty for unexcused tardiness was heavy, and that in all the branches of the school the importance of punctuality was impressed on the pupils.
 ''The older people of Birmingham seem to make an effort to be late in filling ap- pointments, in going to church and going to the theatres, and in attending commit tee meetings. I sincerely hope that the next generation will be more punctual in all things"

The Stock Market.

Henry Clews, in his Wall street letter of Saturdays date, says:
 Speculation on the Stock Exchange continues to show signs of fatigue Values strengthened temporarily at times, owing to tho covering operations of an lncreas- ing shert interest, but the general drift of the market remains downwards. The reasons are the same as already advanced, namely, the overdiscounting of all bull ish influences the great increase In new securities and the scarcity or advancing tendency of money. The multiplication of new securities is going on at a rapid rate and further large amounts are prob ably forthcoming. This process, if long continued, will produce more or less con- gestion in the financial markets. Then our local monetary outlook is still un- satisfactory. Bank reserves are low, and not being strengthened by the usual Influx of funds from the interior, because busi- ness activity in that region interferes. Large sums are still locked up in specu- latiye ventures, and stringency here has forced the making of large loans abroad. There Is no cure for the present situa- tion except further liquidation. and any attempt to carry on the upward move ment under existing conditions will in evitably lead to difficulty.
 Another influence upon the stock mar ket which has not yet received the con sideration to which it is entitled. is the spread of the fever for Investigation. Both state and national legislatures are becoming actively interested in this move ment; instigated, of course, by corporate abuses which have incensed public opin- ion and resulted in the present fever for Investigation committees Quite a num- Der of captains of industry and finance are in consequence placing themselves be- yond reach of the process server, the re- suit being to check speculative operations and create feeling of timidity among in- side operators.'

"The GoosequlIl."
the Montgomery Advertiser.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 Newspaper men of Montgomery have received copies of "The Gooseaulll," a publication issued on the occasion of the annual banquet of the Birmingham Press club.
 The paper lampoons the prominent men of the iron district, state officials, candidates for offce newspaper men and everything else. There are flashes of wit and humor throughout the num- Der and an excellent cartoon by Walter Blackman, the clever young artist of The Age-Herald, who is one of the lead CTS of funmalking whenever the Press club of Birmingham Is on parade. The cartoon shows a booking agency con ducted by an Alabama voter who Is en- gazing actors for the Big Senatorial Show" In front of the manager Sena- tors Morgan and Pettus are dancing fling with ex-Governor Oates, ex-Gov- ernor Johnston and John B. Knox in the background waiting to be examined for their fitness.
 'The Goosequill' editorially takes a shot at the daily newspapers of Bir- mingham In this paragraph
 '"The Goosequill uses more paper in a week than the Birmingham News uses in a month. It buys more ink in year than the Ledger has bought in all It's existence, and as to tho Age Herald, 1t would die of sea-sickness if 1t travelled where the Goosequll travels. Our advertisers are notified that we stand ready to prove these statements"
 In its salutatory, "The Goosequill" says: Our advertising columns will be found unprofitable, onr news columns un- reliable and our editorials short but un- interesting. With charity toward none and a hammer toward all The Goose quill launches its bark and bite upon the placid sea of Birmingham journal ism''
 The annual dinner was given Wednes- day evening, and vas attended by many of the most distinguished men of the state. ''The Goosequill' and it's promo ter are all right. It will undoubtedly be found regularly on the exchange table of the Baby Advertiser"

FAKE LAUNDRYMEN WHO
 FLEECE THE UNWARY

long ago a woman lost g this way. She the amount of her laundry bill, and when he offered to make change for a bill she sent down $2 bil for which she received neither change nor laundry.
 The wife of a literary man who pre- sides over very tidy suite in an apart ment hotel recently went out for an afternoon of calls leaving definite in- structions with her lord and master about the disposition of the laundry which she had done up carefully. The man. immersed in closely written pages, heald not one word she said.
 Half an hour after her departure. a uniformed lad knocked at the door and uttered the magic word, Laundry" The writer reached for the nearest parcel. tossed 1t at the boy, and went back to his work
 An hour passed. and another youth, uniformed this time, appeared at the door. and another bundle passed through the portal A few minutes later a third boy, this time wearing the uniform of a well known cleansing and dyeing establishment arrived on the scene. He received the remaining parcel the smallest of the lot.
 Enter finally his wife.
 T hope you got that laundry all straight-the small package to the hand laundry, the middle-sized package to the steam laundry and the big roll to the cleanser's."
 The man felt suddenly unhappy, and he looked 1t. Also guilty. The wife be- gan to catechise him. Little sulphurous clouds hung upon the domestic horizon The man grabbed his head and fled, a list of laundry and cleaning establish ments in his pocket At that night he sneaked away from the steam laundry with damp parcel under his arm. It contained the white crepe shawl and the null lingerie blouse his wife had intend- ed for the dry-cleaning process. He had arrived at the laundry just in time to rescue them from the boiler.
 Hereafter his wife will stay home on laundry days or mark pacakges so that he who runs-or writes-may read

Mare Peanla Wanted.

Massachusetts has 337 people to the square mile of her area, while Ala bama has but thirty-hye. Instead of 1,S28,697 inhabitants, We would have about 17,O0O,O0O if this state were as thickly inhabited as Massachusetts,.
 Does anyone know why the 52,250 square miles in Alabama should not be as well occupied as the sand dunes and bleak hills of Massachusetts? Scarcely an acre in Alabama can be considered infertile in the Massa- chusetts sense. A mild climate favors all industries A splendid cash crop can be grown in every county. Vast mineral resources have been bestowed here. Scarcely any crop can be grown in any Massachusetts county, and yet that state has 337 people to the square mile, while we have but thirty-fve.
 The next legislature should ask itself, why is there such a wide differ ence between the two states in the re- spect of population?
 We need not await the sitting of the legislature to make up our minds that we need more people. We need 337 to the square mile, and we ought to have them-how, then, shall we go at the problem and secure them? This is question that the next legis- lature should consider.
