North Birmingham, November 24.-(Spe-
ciaL)-The Illinois Central railroad now
has q force of engineers making a topo-

which it owns southwest of this city,
with the intention of laying out extensive
switching yards for a freight terminal
The object is to have the yard ready as

creek bottom, promises to be one of the
busiest sections of the city. Adjoining the
Illionis CentraPs property a tract of 14O
acres is owned by the Frisco, and will
also soon be busy scene of shifting en-
gines; while in the same vicinity 100 acres
have recently been purchased by the Biz

pany, probably for the purpose of erecting
large power house. II is said that this
district will be occupied by number of
manufacturing plants and business houses

INJURED ON CROSSING.
Henry Will Run Down BY Milwaukee
Train Last Evening.

Henry viii, the milk dealer of North
Mankato, met with a very narrow es-
cape from death last evening as he was
driving home from making his evening
delivery of milk. He started to cross
the Main street crossing to the bridge
when he was caught between the gates
that enclose the Milwaukee tracks, and
his wagon was struck by the Milwaukee
passenger train. This was at OILS p. m
Mr. Will did not notice the ringing OF
the bell in the tower house, and kept
on. He did not notice the ascending
of the gates until it was too late to
get out. When he saw the train APP
preaching he urged his team on, and as
a result the horses got out of harms
way. The engine struck the wagon
badly damaging it, and throwing Mr..
Will out The latter fortunately sus-
tanned no serious injuries. He consult
ed a physician, who found that he had a
few bruises and some skin scraped off.
and he was able to walk to his home.
The train was in charge of Conduc-
for Heating. When the engineer no
ticed the team on the track he reversed
the engine, but the momentum of the
train took it on some distance. The
tower man rang the bell, and started
to drop the gates, but noticed that NJ
Will did not heed the BELL and he could
not lower the gates before he drove
upon the track.

REFUSED TO PAY THEIR TAXES
He Now Has the Rate Bill in CHARGE;
Senators CIapp and Deliver
Are Praised.

Washington, ID. c., Feb 2S.-What
ever may be the fate of the Hepburn
rate regulation bill the manager of that
measure in the United States senate can
console his vanity and satisfy his great
desire for notoriety.
The fact that Senator Tillman,
through his eventful career, has had
many personal encounters with his OPP
ponents tends all the more strongly to
add inteset to the situation, the like of
which has never occurred so far as its
political significance is concerned, in
the history of congress.
1t developed today that Senator Till
man has had some interesting expert
ences in his official contract with rail
roads. When governor of South Caro-
lima, he found that a number of the
roads in that state were delinquent in
their taxes and so he ordered that prop
erty of these railroads be levied upon.
In number of counties the sheriffs
went out and seized locomotives and
chained the driving wheels to the tracks
with huge log chains, locking the chains
with padlocks. 1t seems that some of
the roads were in the hands of the re-
ceivers and they went into the courts
and asked for the arrest of the sheriffs
ground that they were guilty of colt
tempt. Five sheriffs were put in jail
that had seized tAeir property. on the
but the roads that ~sfe not in the hands
of receivers paid Up their taxes. The
result of the agitation was that a law
was passed. making states taxes first
lien on property of railroads and since
that time the state has had no trouble
The action of the senate committee
on interstate commerce cannot in any
manner be construed as Reputation of
the court review amendment, proposed
by Senator Knox. In fact, it is known
definitely that some of the democratic
members of the committee are favorable
to that amendment and will vote for it
in the senate, unless restrained by action
of a democratic caucus.
1t is significant that, in supporting
Senators Dolliver and Clapp in Their
opposition to court review amendment
President Roosevelt disregarded the add
vice of great many of his closest polit-
zeal and personal friends and advisors
Secretaries Root and Taft as well as
Senators Spooner and Knox. All OF
them acknowledged to be at the head of
the legal profession, have pointed out
to him imperfections in the Hepburn
bill and have shown him that certain
amendments are necessary to make 1t
constitutional beyond question. But the
president was convinced that there was
another element in the senate not in
sympathy with his policy, and that ele-
ment was trying to injure the bill by
securing it's amendment, therefore, he
determined to back Doliyer and Clapp
and help put the bill into the senate

An exciting game took place at the
rink last evening, DR.. Nerbovig's rink
challenged Lewis Dodd's rink for the
Macbeth Gardner trophy. The Dodds

endeavor to wrest the prize from the
Dodds rink, and another herculean con-
test is expected.
The curriers' are taking advantage of
the ice while it lasts, for it is feared
that in few more days it will be gone.
The ice was good last night, and quite
an array of devotees of the game and
lady friends were in attendance, all en-
tering into the spirit of the game,
making it more interesting. At the
tenth end the score was tie, so the
eleventh end had to be played to decide
it, resulting as stated. After the game,
the winner was challenged for tonight,
and an invitation is again extended to
everybody to be present.

PLAY BY CATHOLIC PRIEST,
Drama From the Pen Of Rev. Father
Vauuhan.

TO the three dramas written by cler-
gymen and produced this season there is
soon to be added a play written by a
member of the Catholic priesthood, Rev
Father l.. j. Vaughan, of Chicago. This
drama, it is declared will be the first
contribution to the stage by a member
of the Catholic clergy in recent times.
Father Vaughan's play, which tells in
simple form the story of the adven-
lures of plain Irish girl in the United
States, is now in the hands of Anna
Mack Berlein, at present member OF
Andrew Mack's company. She is play
iny the role of Honoria i'll "The Way to
Kenmare." As yet no man has been
chosen for the piece. Father Vaughan,
who is peculiarly qualified to judge, de-
clares that Miss Berlcin is the best ac-
tress in America in the portrayal of the
real Irish character. He wrote the play
particularly for her use.
Father Vaughan was on the stage Tor
twelve years and played in several COM
panies with Miss Berlein. Since enter
ing the priesthood he mas become So
lv as a result of his earlier training
one of the foremost orators in the Cath
Ollie church in this or any other country
Three plays written by clergymen
have been produced this year. The first
was Rev. John Snyder's "As Ye Sow"
the drama of Cape Cod life, staged at
McVicker's Theatre, Chicago, by William
A. Brady and Joseph Grismer. The sec
ond was Rev. Thomas Dixon The
Clansman." drama of reconstruction
days, embodying the Ku klux klan as
the feature upon which its action hinges.
The third of these plays was Lottle
Parkers dramatization of Rev. Charles
Frederic Coss' ''The Redemption OF Da-
vid Corson."

SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB.
Hypnotism, Christian Science. etc.
Discussed Last Night.

The Social Science club held a regular
meeting last night. and listened to an
interesting and instructive paper on
"Christian Science and Suggestive
Therapeutics" by DR.. A. 0. Bjelland
The discussion was led by DR.. |. d.
Webster, and was participated in by
most of those present
DIR. Bjelland did not believe in Chris
tian Science, but thought that some
phases of suggestive therapeutics are
although not to any great extent. He
did not think That there was much that
could be said that was favorable tc
hypnotism, and that often people UNI
der its influence are led to commit
crimes.
Dr. Webster took issue with this lat,
ter statement, and thought that a per
son could do no improper act when un-
der hypnotic influence unless he would
do it when not under such influence.
DIR. J. w. Andrews also said that peo-
pie under the infleunce of hypnotism
cannot be induced to do improper things
Some of the members thought that such
cases were not fully under the hypnotic
influence.
DR.. Webster thought that suggestive
therapeutics could be used to help cure
diseases that are functional and not
organic.
Christian science did not receive much
favorable mention by the club members
being looked upon as cult

POULTRY HIGHER PRICED.
New Law Viii Put Many Commission
Men Out Of Business.

Minneapolis, Feb. 2S-Two-t thirds OF
the poultry dealers of the twin cities
may be forced out of business before
the close of March, if the poultry laws
of the new code, which goes into effect
Thursday, are enforced.
The greatest agitation prevails today
among the poultry and commission
merchants of Minneapolis over the sit
uation.
The poultry laws of the new code pro-
vide that all poultry handled by COM
mission men shall be drawn"
The enforcement of the law is left
to the state board of health. This board
has already intimated to the poultry
interests of the twin cities that they will
enforce the law to the letter. Minneapo-
lis commission merchants carried the
matter to Attorney General Young last
Thursday and secured an opinion from
him to the effect that the law could not
be enforced against them.
Local dealers are cleaning up their
poultry stocks in anticipation of trou-
BILE. Over $4,000 head of poultry are
handled by Minneapolis commission men
daily.
eff they enforce the law it will mean
additional work for the farmer in
cleaning his birds and rather than dc
that every raiser will ship his fowls
