PROCEEDINGS DISMISSED.
Justice Weaver of Elyton viii Not Ap-
pear In Inferior Court.

Judge II. b. Alternately of the inferior
court of Birmingham has dismissed the
proceedings instituted against Justice of
the Peace Weaver OF Elyton, who was
cited to appear in court and show cause
why he should not dismiss "A certain
cause pending in his court The dis
missal was made upon the grounds that
Judge Weaver had already dismissed the
case at issue, at the advice of his eoun-
sci. 1t was the matter of a garnish-
ment proceedings, and the matter came
up in the inferior court upon the petition
of Attorney Daughette, who declared that
the said punishment proceedings was

STRONG SENTIMENT
To CHANGE METHOD
Many Ideas are Expressed at
Montgomery
CANDIDATES INDIFFERENT
At Midniuht II Seemed That candi.
At Midnight 1t Seemed That candi-
dates for Supreme Court Would
Go Before Primaries-Many
Politicians at the Capital.

Montgomery, March 12-(speeial)-At
midnight it seems quite certain that the
democratic state committee will vote to-
morrow to change the plan of nominating
justices of the supreme court from con-
vention to what will be in effect a pri-
mary. The idea is to put the names of
candidates ON the ticket and let the peo-
pie vote for them and then each man
have his relative strength as thus shown
in the convention. In that event there
would be no other change in the plan
adopted in January.
1t is understood that friends of both
Weakley and Tyson, aspirants for chief
justice, feel indifferent as to the method
adopted. Speaking for the friends of
Chief Justice Weal<ley, e. K. Campbell
of Birmingham said tonight:
Judge Weakley is busily engaged in
the discharge of his office duties and has
nothing to say about what the action of
the state committee shall be. He abides
its action, whatever it may be. His
friends seem practically unanimous in IA
vor of a primary for the selection of
judges. However, they say that any
plan will be entirely satisfactory to
them"
The only senatorial prospects mingling
with the politicians tonight are J. F.
Johnston and j. W. Tomlinson of Bir-
mingham both of whom are known to
favor a change in the plan of selecting
members Of the senate and especially for
the succession. There is much of q feel
ing tonight that the race for senator
should be left open for all. Others think
that the convention ought to allow the
nomination of two men and then provide
that in case of a vacancy a primary be
held for the man the governor names
II the committee rescinds action and
provides for selecting of supreme court
justices by primary very likely the MEM
bers of the committee will be named the
same way.

ings and they state that the drivers are
now obeying the Instructions without
much trouble They say it will become
easier as the drivers become accustomed
to the order of things.
The policemen were stationed in the
streets as matter of preeaution and to
prevent women and children from beng
run down by vehicles and autos. num-
Der of accidents were narrowly ayerted
on these corners recently, and Chief Wier
acted on the suggestion that policemen be
stationed in the streets.
The policemen are serving another puf-
pose also. The crowds on the streets are
increasing so rapidly that it has been
found necessary to protect them. The
policemen are instructed to see that peo-
pie do not stand in the center of the
street while waiting for cars, but that
they stay on the sidewalks. By so doing
the risk of people getting run over is
greatly decreased

Tim Murphy.

The remembrance of Tim Murphy's ar

when the announcement is read that he

Thursday in a revival of this comedy
No matter what successes Tim Murphy
may present it seems that the remern-
branee of his characterization of Maverick
Brander in "A Texas steer remains up
permost in the mind. Even at the height
of his greatest triumphs of recent years
a constant inquiry and demand was made
for his temperance as the congressman
from Texas, SO at last, accepting sueh
as the desire of the public, he has made
a revival of what was really Charles ii.

pearng as the ranch owner of Texas,

You must not drive faster than walk

do you are liable to arrest, for Chief of
Police Wier has stationed policemen in
the middle of the streets at these inter
sections with instructions not to allow
fast driving.
For several DAYS past the policemen
have been warning drivers of vehicles and
automobiles that they must proceed slow
ly at the crossings! After many had been
duly notified. the policemen commenced
making arrests for violations.
Yesterday Policeman Williams was sta

strenuous and critical moments abound.
The villain and his lady accomplish are
unspeakable, not to mention one or two
cheap rascals and some exceedingly cor
rupt police, who contribute to the gen
eral wickedness that envelopes the hero
and his loved ones.
The play touches upon the cadet
system of New York, the methods of
police graft" and other evils which Mr..
Jerome Is credited with having combated
freely. There is only one good police
man in the play, and he is first-class.
The others constantly have their units
out The result is that they are a choice
lot of villains, closely associated with the
cadets" and other criminals of the
neither world in the big city.
The story of the play deals with the
J race track to certain extent, for the
villain-in-chief is horse owner who
conspires to get hold of fortune by
hiring one of the heirs, boy, to ride
his horse in the derby at Sheepshead bay.
BY dirty work the horse Is drugged and
the boy spirited away to sea. He goes
across the Atlantic, but comes back just

General Freight Agent Called.


F. A. Leland, assistant general freight
agent of the Missouri. Kansas and Texas
railway, was the second witness called.
He told in reply to questions of meeting
at St. Louis in June, 1904, of the traffic
managers of the Missouri Pacific, Santa
Fe, Frisco and his road to consider rails
ing the oil rate from Kansas. He said
that Mr.. Bogardus, traffic manager of
the Standard Oil company, was present.
but did not recall any of the independent
oil refners of Kansas being asked TO at
tend the meeting. After the meeting he
was informed that the rate was to be
changed from 10 cents to II cents from
Kansas points to Kansas City, Mo.
did you not know that the change was
contemplated before that meeting?" Mr..
Leland was asked
"Yes, we had discussed it,

II do not think So"
"With II cents railroad rate and a
cents pipe line rate, don't you think the
oil would all go by the pipe line2'
Not necessarily so. since the rate Went
into effect the shipment of oil over the
|railroads has been increased"
Mr.. Leland admitted that under the
Kansas rate law the rate for oil from
Chanute, Kans., to Kansas City, was 9i4
cents in less than car load lots. But to
Kansas City, Mo-, it was 311s cents and
the distance farther was only II miles by
his route which made detour to get into
Kansas City. Mo. He said his road hauled :
a tank car 10 miles in Kansas under the
Kansas rate law for 1888, and charged
81 80 for the same service in Missouri.
He said he did not know if any Of tho
Rockefellers We're upon the directorate Of

of Is cents hundred pounds from the
Kansas oil field to St. Louis, there was
