VALUABLE CORNER
 SOLD TO W, F. FITS
Heavy Rains In Tuscaloosa Stopped the Running of Trains On Warrior
 Southern Yesterday.

Tuscaloosa, March 21.-(Special.)-Yes terday the corner occupied by the Oak City Drug Co.,. which fronts on Greens boro avenue forty-two feet and ninety feet on Broad street, was sold at public outcry for division and was purchased by w. F. Fitts for $1O5OO, who already held half interest in the property. This Is one of the most valuable corners in the city and it is probable that Mir. Fitts will build handsome structure there to take the place of the four small stores now standing.
 Tuscaloosa friends have received the news of the death of Ed Bonner which occurred at Bethany in Pickens county. MT. Bonner was valuable citizen and will be greatly missed He is survived by a wife and several children.
 The heavy rain which fell in this sec ton played havoc with the railroads in this section and all trains on both the Alabama great Southern, the Mobile and Ohio. as well as on the Warrior Southern, have been greatly delayed on account of the washouts. The Mobile and Ohio, scheduled from Montgomery to arrive here at 230 was something over ten hours late last night which was due to another

OFFICERS NAMED
 BY THE BOWLERS St. Louis Gets the Next Annual
 Convention BRYSON MADE PRESIDEN I Split Between East and West Looks Serious and the Indications Are
 That It Will Be Per
 manent.
BRYSON MADE PRESIDENT I

Louisville, March a.-The American Bowling congress today decided to hold It's next annual convention in St. Louis and elected the following officers:
 President-Robert H. Bryson, Indianap- oils.
 First Vice President-charles J. Kauff- man, Cincinnati
 Second Vice President-Adrian c. An son. Chicago Cre-elected).
 Third Vice President-F. w Gosewich, St Paul, (re-elected).
 Secretary-Samul Karpf, Dayton, O. (re- elected)
 Treasurer-F. L. Pasdeloup. Chicago. (re-elected)
 The selection of St. Louis over Rhila- delphia for the next meeting place has materially widened the breach between the east and the west. The delegates from the east said after the election that they had done all in their power to bring about an amalgamation of the two factions, but that it now seemd hopeless.
 Charles H. Ebbetts Of Brooklyn, who was conspicuous in his efforts to take the next tournament to Philadelphia. said
 'I do not think the east and the west will ever come together as we had hoped, and as would have resulted had the tournament gone to Philadelphia in 1907. The split looks decidedly serious and am sincerely sorry for the good of the American Bowling congress that the dele gates did not see fit 10 take the next convention to the east
 College Haager of Louisville, the re- tiring president, said as to the reported breach;
 AS matter of fact there can hardly be a breach because the east has never cut any figure in bowling. New York for instance, sent three teams to this tournament Still, with that representa- tion. the east wanted everything for next year. It Is nothing more than right that the tournament should be held where the largest representations have earned success One thing that we all hope for is that bowling will be soon conducted without the saloon adjunct. which pre- vails now to a greater or less extent and the tendency is now In that direc- tion"
 The congress decided to admit clubs from Cuba, Mexico and Canada
 The first ballot for the next conven- tion city stood: St. Louis 52; Philadel- phia, 4S St Paul H.
 On the second vote the St. Paul dele gaton threw ten of their votes to St Louis. carrying the day for St. Louis.
 The deciding ballot resulted:
 St. Louis, 62; Philadelphia. A St Paul 1.
 Pasdeloup of Chicago, placed Norfolk in nomination. but there was no second

Cuba Wants the Cristobal Colon to Fly
 the Cuban Flag.

Charleston, s. C., March 21.-The American steamer Cristobal Colon, which came into this port some days ago with machinery disabled, sailed for Batabano, Cuba. tonight, and upon ar rival will take up regular run be- tween that port and the Isle of Pines. T. J. Keenan of Pittsburg, president of the Isle of Pines Steamship company, is on board, and said today that he had received notice from the Cuban treasury department to register in Cuba. This he did not propose to do.
 s'The Colons owners" he said today before sailing, claim the right to run between Batabano and the Isle of Pines under General Woods military regulations which were subsequently, made Cuban law by agreement with the United States. This gives Ameri- can ships the same rights as native vessels in Cuban waters. Disregarding this law, the Cuban treasury depart ment insists that the Colon must havs Cuban registry and fly the Cuban flag"
 The owners have appealed to the state department at Washington. It is matter of immense concern to shipping interests in the West Indies, and the result of the affair Is anxiously awaited.

 Both teams are in good condition for this season of the year and after d few days of rest from outdoor work are anx- ious to hear Umpire Wilson Matthews call play ball' again.
 Catcher Lee Garvin has not yet report ed and Manager Vaughan does not know what to think of the actions of his Little Rock recruit T have not heard word from Garvin today" said the mogul last night T am losing patience with him. and if he does not report in Birmingham within very short while we will have some one here to take his place Ever since Garvin displayed a tendency to kick out of harness I have had my eyes open and l do not think that the Coal Barons will suffer in the least. I am not in a position just now to give out anything definite, but think that we will have no trouble in securing the sigma ture of as good back-stop as has been in this section of the country"
 Matthews, the faithful will do the catch fo ,l,.t4t ba best that has ever come down this way. but of course he cannot do all of the back-stopping and the local association has not for a moment considered such thing
