definitely. It is quite likely that there will be no May term save q few days at a later date to try some criminal cases upon which the government is very pressing. The civil docket will not be called, the judge announced from the bench, as he will have no time to go into any of them ahead of the call made for May IA at Birmingham. Among the press ing civil cases is that of Eugene Hes ter, charged with robbing a mail car of which he was clerk in charge. One night about year ago Hester came in off his run on the Atlantic Coast Line and re- ported that he had been held up. He said a man entered the car a short way out and tried to rob him and did get away with several important registered let ters. He exhibited his hand through which a bullet had been fired to show that he had been hurt in defending his charge. However, in a few days Hester was ar rested and later indicted on a charge of robbing the car and then shooting his own hand to throw the officers off the scent. He is now living at Opelika.

SAYS COMER GAN
 REGULATE RATES R. M. Cunningham Speaks at
 Huntsville COMMISSION HAS POWER Speaker Says President Conner of Railroad Commission Has Failed to Give the Relief Promised
 In the Campaign.
COMMISSION HAS POWER

Huntsville, Ala. May 1.-(Special.) Dr. Russell M Cunningham, lieutenant gov- ernor and candidate for governor ad- dressed the people of Madison county here today.
 This was the first visit of Dr. Cunning ham. to this part of the state and it was the opening of his Northern Alabama campaign.
 Dr. Cunningham was introduced by Earle Smith. and spoke for nearly two hours, his address covering the most in teresting issues in state politics of the day.
 The question of legislation was discussed fully but that question did not make up the burden of his address. He said the unlimited mineral and agricultural re- sources of Alabama demand that more people be brought to the state to aid In their development and if he is elected he will recommend the adoption of some means to bring immigrants to Alabama Only the most desirable immigrants should be brought in, those from other states in the Union being given preference.
 Dr. Cunningham favors giving more money for pensions of Confederate soldiers and more money for schools. One of the most important questions confronting Alabama at present, he said, is the edu- cation of the white children. He favors A reasonable child labor bill and proposes to use his influence if elected toward the abolition of the county convfct lease sys- tenn
 On the subject of railroad rates, pr. Cunningham said the laws of the land nrovide that railroads should have fair return of the money invested and that the railroads should give just rates and not impose on the people. He said that under the law of Alabama, the rail- road commission has the power abso- lutelv to fix rates on every class or freight. He has come to the conclusion that Alabama rates are higher than those of Georgia and that the commission, or which his opponent. MT Conner. is presi- dent, should provide the remedy. This Mir Conner has failed to do and now seeks the governors chair with the avowed pur- pose of having the rates adjusted. The fact is, said the speaker, the governor or Alabama would no more recommend to the railroad commission what action 1t should take than he would advise judge of court to deliver charge against defendant MT. Conner, he said, thinks the railroad commission is void. That is only his personal opinion. however. and as president of the commission he should find out that the rate question Is one to be settled on business principles. the speaked said. and not threshed out in stump oratOry

JOHN WALTERS LOSES RIGHT LIMB WHILE TRYING TO GET OFF STREET CAR BEFORE IT STOPPED.

John Walters, bandmaster for the Shel- by Shows, fell beneath the wheels of a car of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company last night at Seventh street and Third avenue, and one of his legs was cut off above the knee
 Walters was moved to St. Vincents hos pital, where he is lying in a very critical condition. Besides losing his right leg, all the toes on his left foot were cut off. 1t is doubtful whether he will survive.

OFFICIALS INSPECT
 PAVING MATERIAL Uniontown Will Improve Three
 Miles of Streets
MAYOR MAIDEN INTERESTED
Delegation Will Probably Recommend Use of MacadaFn From Blrmlng- ham District-Perry County
 Political Situation.

Mayor W. J. Walden and Councllmen J. H. White and w M. Medley of Unon- town spent yesterday in Birmingham in- specting street paving Uniontown will shortly pave three miles of it's streets, and the committee came to Birmingham for the purpose of Investigating road ma- terials, and road making machinery They will leave this morning for Montgomery, returning to Uniontown tonight.
 The citizens of Uniontown have recently subscribed $22,0 ,000 as a fund to meet the expenses of the proposed street improve ments. This money has been loaned to the city for three years and it has been deposited in bank. The citizens take city scrip, payable in one, two and three years at per cent, thus guaranteeing their ad- vances.
 'Our streets will probably be paved with macadam purchased in the Birming- ham district,' said Mayor Walden last night. We are very much impressed with the bitulithic pavement here, but that comes too high for us.
 Will Employ Engineer.
 We will employ an engineer of experi- ence to take charge of the work inas- much as our city is most too small to have regularly employed city engineer. The paving work will commence just as soon as we can contract for 1t, and 1t will be pushed forward rapidly to com pletion. ...s
 "This is our second trip to Birmng- ham, and we are always glad to have an opportunity to visit the Magic City, Bir- mingham is truly a great city, and all Alabamians should be proud of it's rapid and substantial growth.
 "Uniontown is a thriving city of 3000 n- habitants, and. we, too, are enjoying an era of prosperity. Ten cent cotton gave the planters plenty of money, and that of course has been a great stimulus to business. Uniontown shipped 22,OOO bales of cotton last year and about 1000 bales are still being held.
 Political Situation.
 "The political situation in Perry county is becoming interesting" continued Mayor Walden. MT. Conner will probably carry the county for governor, but Dr. Cunning ham is gaining strength rapidly, especial 1y in Uniont town, and the race may be close. Henry B. Gray will have a walk over in Perry county for the office of lieutenant governor, although MT. Meador is a native of the Black belt"
 For many years Mayor Walden has been associated with the Alabama National guard and is now the commanding of f1cer of the local company, known as Company l. of the First regiment of in- fantry. He served in the Second regi- ment of volunteers from Alabama during the SpaL1sh- American war and later went &o the Philippines where he remained for |. two and half years. Councilman White is the president of the Planters and Merchants bank and also of the White sMercantile company, one of the biggest concerns of it's kind in Uniontown. MT. Medley is prominent contractor.

CONVICT BOARD
 MAKES A REPORT Net Returns Show Han dsome
 Advances RECEIPTS WERE S59,391.08 For Six Months Ending With April Receipts Were $4o2, ,s24-court
 convenes and Adjourns.
 Meets Here May IA.

, Montgomery, Ala, May 1.-(SpeciaD.- The returns from the hire of state con victs under the superintendency of the
 state board of convict inspectors, for the
 month of April were s59, S91 0S. and for the
 six months ending with April $i02, ,S24 This is very fine showing and will put the net returns for the fiscal year be- yond those of last year by several thou sand dollars, when they were $293, 291 It is now expected that the net earnings
 for the twelve months ending with Au-
 gust l. will be in the neighborhood of
 1925 OOO
 The gross receipts for the year 1865 were $561 241. showing that the returns this year are within $160,000 of the whole of last. although the expenses, of this year ! are heavier than last, which will prevent
 the net proceeds from running so much ahead in proportion. For the whole of the year 1904, the gross receipts were s495 10g, within less than 100000 of the figures for six months of his year. In the year 1903, the returns were $33S 4i3, 1 less by a neat sum than what has been taken in half of this year. However this present year, as stated. will have a larger expense account than any of the others, but not enough to make the final wind-up anything less than considera bic gain over last year.
 Henry Gray's Slut.
 One new plea in the interesting suit of Henry B. Gray and others against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, anent the transfer of stock of tie south and north, of which the Louisville and Nash vile owns 90 per cent, WIS filed with A. D. Sayre. judge of the city court. to- day. and will be considered along with plea 16 and certain amendments argued before the same judge some days ago. , He will be ready to announce his dee cision in a few days, for there is not a great deal of new ground to go over With the decision in this pleading, this feature of the litigation--qto warranto- will be up to the supreme court.
 This is one of the most interesting pieces of litigation ever in the courts of the state, and Is likely to cause more or less embarrassment to the Louisville and Nashville system if 1t Is finally decided against them. Henry Gray a minority stockholder. and others owning small amounts of the securities, have under taken to prevent the Louisville and Nash vile selling the South and North to itself. owners of 90 per cent of the stock. There have been several approaches to the end, the last being a movement to secure a quo warranto to prevent the major corporation controlling the lesser, on the ground that the latter is domes- tic corporation and the other foreign, without authority to operate it.
