farmer can have ut hand convcni-
ent fuel and light and material for
running all his farm machinery. A
bushel Of corn will make almost hve
proof gallons Of alcohol. The corn has
averaged In price for some years past
about AZ cents a bushel. Alcohol after
IL has been denatured by the use OF
crude wood alcohol Is worth about 70
cents gallon. This would mean that
n bushel Of corn could be turned into
about % cents worth Of denatured ale

At the same time where corn Is
cheap and where potatoes are cheap
this alcohol can be made cheaper than
the price for which gasoline and kero-
.ene sell. In Europe the principal ma
terial for the manufacture OF dena.

seems to be the best material found
in this country. Il does not need to be

serves. 1t was not made such by the rail-
roads, but by being at the head of a
navigabe river. You have always con-
tended that the rates to Montgomery
were made in relation to this water COM
petition. We call attention to the fact
that Birmingham has no such COMPETE
ton, yet a radical reduction has been
made in her favor; then, when this is
pointed out, you reply that you cannot re-
duce rates to Montgomery on basis of
water competition, as the force of sucn
competition does not justify it.
Montgomery has no large iron indus
tries, coal mines, etc, which give a
natural support through labor employed.
We contend therefore that it is undue
discrimination to SO favor other COM
munities as TO enable them to do business
in territory upon which they are not
dependent, and in competition with
point that is wholly dependent for it's bus
mess upon that section. Our radius Of
is constantly becoming smaller
by such infringement and the ultimate
result of this restriction is the complete
limiting of the extent of business that
can be done by Montgomery. Under exist
ing circumstances, our merchants cannot
increase their business with any degree
of certainty.
Summed up as a whole. the situation
appears to be one of timorousness on tie
part of the lines other than the Frisco.
Such lines fear the resultant effects IF
any action taken by them. The abandon
ment of n basis l1sed with evident Ga Tia
faction for such a long period has never
been satisfactorily explained to the mer-
chants of Montgomery. Previous to the
action of the Kansas City, Memphis and
Birmingham railroad rates to Montgom-
cry had been held not higher than TO
Birmingham. Why did you depart from
this customary or established basis? Why
was Montgomery deprived of the equal
advantages to which she was Justly en-
titled?

MINISTER LOSES
MONEY TO THIEF
THE REV. MR.. HOOD TOUCHED"
FOR $127 ON NORTH HIGHLAND
cAR-PIcKPocKET SUSPECTED
OF THE CRIME.

The Christmas picl<poeket who relieved
G. r. Coleman of a diamond stud at tho
union station day before yesterday, was
in evidence yesterday at noon, this time
on a North Highland car. \ minister
was the second victim. The Rev. a. Hood
reported to headquarters the Joss of 800
and a check on a Eufaula bank for $3T.
As in the case of Mr.. Coleman, the loss
was not discovered until after Mr.. Hood
dismounted from the car. He did not
remember anyone sitting or standing near
him who could have committed the theft.
The car was crowded, however, and the
police believe knowing well the dizziness
and skill of these light fingered thieves,
that in passing through the people stand
ing in the aisle, the minister's money
was stolen
Last night Chairman Donahoe of the
police commission, when swearing in the
extra police officers for the Christmas
season, gave special instructions concern
ing the operations of the pickpockets, and
urged the police to keep their eyes open.
The thieves are always ON hand when
crowds gather, and especially are their
depredations felt during Christmas season
in large cities.

PLAINTIFF LOSES IN
MONEY LENDING CASE
Attorney Compared Contract to CAT
ling Gun-Failure to Record Con-
tract Misdemeanor.

The case of Max Winkler Brokerage
company VS.. r. L. Darby, which had
been on trial in the circuit court for
nearly three days, resulted yesterday in a
verdict for the defendant. The case had
many points about it which proved in
teresting to parties engaged in the bust
ness of lending money.
From the evidence it was shown that
the defendant. r. f. Darby, borrowed
$72 from the Max Winkler Brokerage
company on November "a, 1905; that sub
sequently the defendant filed a petition
in bankruptcy, including the plaintiff
among his creditors. and later IN the de-
PENDANT obtained his discharge in bank
ruptcy. The Max Winkler Brokerage
company instituted suit in a justice of
peace court against Darby for the amount
borrowed and obtained a Judgment, from
which Darby took an appeal to the circuit
court
The plaintiff had q written contract,
which partook of the nature of prom
issory note with waiver of exemptions,
an assignment of wages due or to become
due, a power of attorney, bill of sale
and several other binding obligations, all
rolled into one, which the defendants
attorney said had as many barrels as
a Calling gun, upon which suit was based
and which plaintiff introduced in evidence
of the indebtqdness.
The defendants attorney objected to
the introduction of the "Gatling gum on
the ground that it had not been recorded
in the probate court as required by law
according to an act of the legislature of
1901, making it a misdemeanor and fixing
q penalty for such failure, and because
1t was void on account of such failure.
The case was vigorously contested on
both sides but at the request of coun-
sell the judge directed the jury to find
a verdict for the defendant

as a Mexican revolutionist, was re-

having failed to make a case for ex-

been committed before the extradition
treaty was drawn. Tomorrow Antonio

that he is an undesirable citizen, if the
