WANT HIGHER PAY
ON SUNDAYS.
Carmen Have New Demand,
Which, If Granted, Will
Add to Average Earnings
AFTER ARBITRATOR

A new point which the Garments I'm
ion may introduce into the arbitration
is demand for extra pay for work on
Sundays. The men find a precedent for
this in some of the Eastern cities and
in Canada, where platform men get
an addition TO the weekday rate for
Sunday and holiday trips. They argue
that as the cars are crowded at these
times. their work is harder. 1t is in
fact the same contention on which they
based the demand they went out on.
Each side spent yesterday in forti-
flying itself for the first session of the
board which will meet this morning at
the company's Office at Oak and Brod-
erick streets TO select the third mem
Der.
When we have agreed on the third
man the rest will be easy, Cornelius
said yesterday, and il is accepted as
fact that the choice will be a diff
cult matter. Calhoun has made no
statement to indicate his preference
but 1t is understood that he will not
accept Judge Murasky If the carmen
propose his name. When McCabe was
asked if he would accept Mayor
Schmitz. he preferred to treat the ques-
tion in the light of joke 1t looks
now as If several names would be pro-
posed and rejected before one is found
acceptable to both Cornelius and Null
lally.

SKIPPER BRUTALLY'
BEATEN BY MATE.
Captain Madsen, Aged Mas
ter of the Samoa, Victim
of Young Officers Anger
ATTACK UNPROVOKEL

Captain NJ j. Madsen. the aged mas
ter of the steamer Samoa. was brutally
beaten on the deck of his vessel on
Tuesday morning by Second Officer
Fred Lyons, powerfully built young
man. The Samoa was lying at Caspar
at the time. Captain Madsen, his head
swathed in bandages. was on the Sa-
moa's bridge when she came into port
yesterday morning out of sense of
duty, but it was the chief officer who
directed the vessels course.
Complaint has been made to the Fed
eral authorities and Captain Madsen.s
assailant will be vigorously prose-
euted.
The Samoa was at Caspar Landing
loading lumber. AS Captain Madsen
appeared on deck after breakfast, Sec
ond Officer Lyons. who was assisting in
the loading, swung sling load of
lumber in such way that it broke
and scattered.
Captain Madsen, a man peculiarly
gentle in his dealings with subordin-
ates, walked over to Lyons who has
had second mates papers only a few
weeks. laid his hand on the young
officers arm and said:
Not so rash, boy. That was care
less. You can do better than that"
Lyons threw the captains hand from
his shoulder telling him savageiy to
keep his hands off.
The old man turned away, but lin
gered to give the youth some advice.
You are too dignified for a second
mate, Fred. You ought to be on the
bridge instead of me- he said.
And then, to the horror Of those on
deck, the young man landed terrific
swing on the old skipper's jaw, knock
ing him to the deck senseless Before
any one could interfere. Lyons threw
himself on the unconscious man and
beat Madsen's face and head with all
the strength of his lusty youth. Lyons
was dragged from his helpless victim.
but not before he had beaten the time
scared face out of all recognition.
Captain Madsen's limp form was
carried into the cabin and under the
ministrations of a doctor, summoned
from Fort Bragg. consciousness re-
turned and the gaping wounds made
by Lyons fists were sewed and dressed
After the Samoa docked yesterday at
Mission street wharf. Captain Mad
sen was taken to his home, where he
will be confined for some time Be-
fore going home, Captain Madsen was
taken to the Office of United States Dis
trict Attorney Deviin, where he laid
formal complaint against Second Of1cer
Lyons
The members of the crew of the Sa-
moa were as one yesterday in express
ing their high regard for Captain Mad
sen. He is over sixty years of age and
his kind hearted treatment of officers
and crew is one of the traditions of
the coast lumber trade. He never
abused a subordinate under the most
trying circumstances and is loved and
respected by all who have served under
him.

A mass meeting of the students was held in Langdon Hall Monday after noon, and Tuesday afternoon the en- tire college turned out to watch the practice and marched around the field singing If Alabamas in the Way, we'll Roll It Over Them" The ex- citement and enthusiasm is at fever heat.

 This is the eleventh Alabama Au- burn game. of which number Auburn has won seven and Alabama three. The first game was played in Birming- ham on George Washingtan's birthday In 1893 and was won by Auburn with a score of 32 to g. That fall the two teams met in Montgomery, where Au- burn won again with a score of 30 to 10. In 1904 Alabama brought forth a team with Porter Walker, Jim Shelly.

 To Big Game.
 University. Nov. i5--(Spccial. l~- W th the Auburn game only one day otf, there is little doing on the University campus that is Mot measured In terms of football. The officials of the Ala bama Great Southern Railroad have agreed to run special tIain from Tus- caIoosa Saturday morning for the &C., commodation of the students, and the present indications are that a record breaking crowd will go up. A num- Der. including the University Glee Club, will leav ehere tomorrow after noon, in order to attend tine Alumni banquet at the Hillman Hotel scheduled for that night. The team, however, will not leave until Saturcay morning.
 Yesterday afternoon witnessed the last hard practice before the final struggle While Varsity was able to go through the scrubs almost at will, the latter also drew blood. and sue ceeded in scoring ono touchdown on straight football Franklin and Gar rett Varsity guard and end, respective- ly. are both still suffering with bad legs, but will probably gec pack in the game Saturday. One unrortunate re- suit of yesterdays practice was the dis abling of two good substitute players for the remainder of the season. Greene had his collar bone broken and Stew enson sustained an injury TO his ankle.
 The consensus Of oOTriop relative to the outcome of the game IS that Au- burn and Alabama are more evenly matched this year tha nat any time in the past, and that the seam tht wins will do so only by narrow margin
