NEW ELECTRIC GAR
 IS PUT IN SERVICE
BUILT BY BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY, LIGHT AND POWER co. OF ALA 5AMA MATERIAL-CoMPA TO MANUFACTURE MORE.

Electric car No. 680, which was put into service as a trailer on the East Lake line by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company yesterday afternoon, was built at the company's shops in this city and was constructed entirely of Ala bama material and Alabama workman ship.
 Even the plans were designed here and all the iron, wood and other material are products of Alabama soil and manufac- ture.
 The trucks, including the wheels, are of Birmingham manufacture, the iron coming from the ore beds in Red noun tain and the timber from the forests of this state.
 The interior of the car is finished in mahogany. The color of the car is olive green, and is vestibuled with glass doors the side. All trailers built in the fu- ture will be vestibuled in this way
 It is said to be the first car of the kind ever built in the state and it Is announced by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company that it is the first of many others that are to be built for SerVlce nere III the near future. In fact the company proposes to manufacture all the cars to be needed in the future if pos sble.
 While the car put in commission yes terday is a trailer, motor cars will be built in the future and the workmanship on the one already completed indicates that as fine and substantial cars can be built in Birmingham as in any other city
 Car No. 6s0 made it's first run to East Lake yesterday afternoon and attracted considerable attention as it passed out from the car barn at Eleventh street and made It's way through the city. It is a very handsome car, as large as those in service on the Ensley lines and has a seating capacity of forty passengers.
 Master Mechanic w. A. McWhorter who superintended the building of the car, is being complimented on all sides for the beauty and durability of the work
 Being the first car of the kind built in the State and the fact that it is construct ed entirely of Alabama material it's in auguration into service is looked upon as an event of decided importance

TWO PROMOTIONS.
George Atkinson Is Superintendent of Transportation of 3. R., L. & p. Go.

Superintendent of transportation is a new office that has been created by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company in the railway department and George T. Atkinson has been appointed to the position.
 The creation of the place became nec- essary on account of the large increase in the business of the department. Mir. Atkinson has been assistant in Superin- tendent George H. Harris office for some time and has practically performed the duties assigned to the new place. The creation of the office and the appoint ment of MT. Atkinson, however will relieve Superintendent Harris of a great deal of the work and responsibility of his department
 Master Mechanic w. A. McWhorter has been promoted to assistant superintendent of the railway department but will also continue as master mechanic in addition to the duties of the new position.
 The changes were made effective at once by order of General Manager J. A. Emery.

EX-CHIEF HALE OF
 MISSOURI RETICENT

Former Fire Chief George c. Hale of Kansas City Mo, who is in Birmingham making an inspection of fire fighting con ditions, was in reminiscent mood yes terday. The famous fireman of the metropolis of western Missouri chatted with ex-chief J. Thad Mullin of Birming ham and other friends about the earlier days of Kansas City.
 T remember funny trial of a misde- meanor case in the police court of Kan sas City one morning" said MT. Hale. "A hoodlum- was on trial. and the evidence against him was convincing beyond all doubt in the opinion of the court. The ac- cused was found guilty and fine was as- sessed.
 As soon as it was announced that the man was guilty the hoodlum took excep- tion to the words of the court. Guilty. am II? he roared to the judge An af- frmative reply was received. The fun that l am about to relate followed. The man found guilty picked up an inkstand and hurled it at the court. The judge with an excellent foresight lodged the missile, and it went through the window behind DoOAA rushed up the stairs leading to the court room and sent a messenger to see the judge. He met the women and they were covered with ink and pieces of broken glass were seen on their dresses. It chanced that they were passing in front of the court building and the inkstand and contents with the broken window panes fell on them. The cause of the ac- cident was explained and they left the court apparently satisfied
 Have you an idea of what next fol- lowed, Thad?' asked the Kansas City man.
 NO, I have not, unless it be that the prisoner received an additional sentence of hundred or more days" was the re- ply.
 Worse than that. Those women, through their brothers, husbands and other relatives, instituted civil action against the court and city for damages, passing as cause of action the fact that the court had lodged the inkstand and thereby caused them to be covered with ink and other debris. The peculiar allega- tions in the petitions filed in the courts were to the effect that the noise caused by the breaking of the window panes and the falling of the glass on the pavement caused several runaways. resulting in the injury of a number of persons"
 Did they recover judgment?" was the inquiry.
 Cant answer that question. I was too busy watching the demeanor of the in- jured court official to remember whether or not verdict was won by the plain tiffs or the defendants. The story is as true as court records of Jackson county, Missouri, will show"
 George, tell the story of the Caldwell, Kan, fireman" reques ,ed Thad Mulln.
 That's a good one and true, too, and

here goes smilingly remarked MT. Hale.
 srhe man I have reference to is a character in Kansas City today and has thousands of dollars. Previous to the story I am going to tell the fellow whose name is Jones, lived in Caldwell Kan, and was a clerk in a hotel. The place was one of those where the clerk Is the runner, baggage smasher, porter, bell boy and cared for other incidental matters about the place. He Is a bright fellow today and I am sure he was otherwise familiar with intelligence during the early days of Kansas. when saloons and cow boys predominated in the Sunfiower State. He resigned from the clerkship and branched out as the opera house man ager. and booked about two or three shows a month I remember one day when he led a minstrel parade The comedian and the former hotel clerk were in the front and that night, cabbage. eggs and other things were presented the alleged performers and the manager by the audience.
 ITO get to the true story. One day l had just returned from a fire in Kansas City. I was wet and it was cold I stopped in to get soda water. Fires were discussed soon after I entered and some one wanted to know if I was the only fireman.
 .Jones was standing over near the end of the counter and spoke up sy saying that Hale was not the only one He continued: T was chief once myself It was in a western city and ten-story building was on fire. The fire Jen sounded the alarm. I rushed from my place of business. Put on my red shirt and Ducl1led or my belt The apparatus consisted of a hose reel and we did not use horses to convey it to fires. but instead the gallant firemen did so themselves. I rushed to the square where the reel was kept and to my surprise found that was the only orie who had answered the alarm. I con veyed the reel to the fire. The blaze had reached the tenth story Standing there, on the tenth floor, calling for as- sistance, was a man. He shouted to me that he was a rubber drummer. shouted to him not to jump as death was cer- tain. He vanished from sight and soon again appeared at the window He was clad in rubber goods, bubbling out from every conceivable point and leaped from the window. He hit that pavement ten stories below and I expected to see him killed. Instead, he was so heavily encased in rubber, that he commenced to bounce and went nearly as high as the tenth floor and come down again uninjured He concluded by assisting me in the fire work. That is the way to fight fires, Though the building did burn, I saved a life and a drummer's at that
 Did other things than soda go after that?" was asked
 "Yes, and several rounds, and l was short several dollars when the thing was over'

HIGH SCHOOL TICKETS
 GOOD FOR TRANSFER
Railway Company Makes Concessions to Pupils Not on Line Reaching
 School Building.

In future, the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company will issue transfers on school tickets issued to pupils of the High school.
 This was decided inasmuch as the sit uation of the High school requires pupils from the Highland lines and some of the suburban lines to walk some distance. Conductors on the North Birmingham, Gate City and Idlewld lines will not issue transfers on school tickets as these lines run by the school
 All books issued to High school pupils are marked High school" as the tickets issued to pupils of other schools are not entitled to transfers

Consular Service Bill Amended

 That's what 1t Is. in limited sense, at least; but that isn't all il is by a long shot.
 In some circles where Governor John ston's views prevail, the "Whitson' plan is regarded as immaculate. It's a politi- cal lily of the valley-a bright and morn ing star-the fairest of ten thousand in true democratic souls. In other circles composed of men like Captain Frank s. White, it's booby and bluff, hoodoo and hobgoblin, deluson and a snare it's steps lead down to death; It's feet take hold on hell"
 One irreverant critic has alluded to the ''Whitson" report as a "voluminous if not altogether luminous document" l think it was Bob Thach of Birmingham who was so indiscreet as to say that. Bob said 1t in his effort to get time for the committee to consider "the Whitson plan" Poor Bob! They didn't do a thing to Bob did they? Just knocked him fiat and went over him like a steam roller! That's all they did to Bob Thach, who actually failed clearly and completely to comprehend the true inwardness of the ten typewriter pages of the Whitson report after 1t had been once read by the man from Talladegal
 I wonder could fifteen Philadelphia law yers, after studying the Whitson plan one whole hour, explain clearly what 1t means? Many a member of that commit tee listening to the reading of the Whit son plan, must have felt regarding 1t very much as Byron did about the verse of philosophic poet. This must be sub lime" said Byron. flor even do not understand it."
 Let us, however. in spite of all this, possess our souls in patience. re- memberlng that all things come to those who walt and watch Let us pray for wisdom ana more than all else let us pray for that understanding which will ena- ble us to read, ponder and in wardly digest the Whitson plan In the meantime, the field Is open for the charlottesville alternate senators-to-be the "senators-in- waiting" so to speak, who will be chosen to wait, if not to u,a tch fo rthe nassinp of John T Morgan and Edmund W.
