IT REQUIRED THE FORCE OF
 THREE MEN TO OVERCOME THE
 MANIAC
 diana section of the line tangled up so completely that traffic was not regulated for hours, and the station agents are still suffering from the shock.
 Kellam's wrist had lost none of it's speed and he sent messages up and down the line as quickly as they could be received. ordering trains held or sent on and to pass at certain sta- tions
 Station agents soon discovered that orders were conflicting and that se- rious accidents would follow if they were carried out. But the orders con- tinued to come, and once in awhile the insane man happened on the cor rect number of train. This helped to mystify the agents. They thought at first that some operator at some point was drunk, but he was intent on sending and would not be broken in, on to answerWestions. E
 After 30 minutes, in which the greatest confusion was caused, one agent threw the key open and then grounded the wire to the south of him. Communication was thus opened with other operators along the line and a comparison of orders showed that they were mixed. and it was con- cluded to hold all trains at stations at which they should first arrive till the muddle could be cleared up. In the meantime Beauchamp had re- turned to his office, and found Kellam at his key. The insane man refused to vacate, and 1t required the com bined force of the operator and two other men to overpower him. He fought desperately. but finally was bound hand and foot. placed upon a handcar and sent to jail. When Beauchamp got possession of his key and began to talk to the agents he found that trains were being held at several points. Explanations were sent and the system started to work again.
 But for more than half an hour the Wabash railroad in Indiana was at a standstill and the operators at various stations in a maze.

Huntington, Ind.--With an insane operator at the key at Andrews. Ind, station agents all along this section of the Wabash railroad the other day had the hottest half hour they ever experienced striving to prevent se- ries of wrecks and collisions.
 That none occurred was not the fault of Everett Kellam, a worker in the shops, who suffered sunstroke. While he was waiting transfer to an asylum Kellam remembered that he once had been an operator, and a fast one. He thought it would do him good to send some train orders again
 Waiting until he saw Henry Beau champ, the Wabash operator at An drews, leaving his office at noon, he slipped in and took possession of the key. In half an hour he had the h.

uent of visitors to the Sunday School

r,ent of visitors to the Sunday School Convention.
 From o'clock in the morning until the close of the night sessions, MT. Chandler with Miss Lula Pearson, Miss Lila Little. Miss Mary Williams ana Frank Jackson were faithful in their efforts to answer every question ana supply every needed information. They had rnarge of directing to their homes delegates after assignment or homes were made. They had charge of the sale of street car tickets Tor delegates. The mail of many hundreds of the delegates and visitors was sent to ther1 and they distributed it.
 MT. Chandler also took an active part in the looking after and making nec- essary correction in railroad transpor- tation for many of the delegates
 Altogether the service of the Infor- nation Bureau was of tncalculable value and played an important part in the general success of the Entertain ment Committee.
 The Excellent Music.
 One of the pleasing features of the convention services during the week was the very excellent music of the special choir with Junius Pierce as di- rector.
 MT Pierce had in his choir some of Montgomery's best vocal talent and for
 
 were prepared.
 The choir was handicapped in being divided between the two churches yet 1t managed to have fine music at both places.
 Mir Pierce sang as a solo yesterday morning at the First Presbyterian church When Peace Like A River" and Mrs. Stuart Washburn sang several solos during the meeting.
 Af Mrs Charles Campbell. Miss Lula Belle Mat hews. Miss Jewell Dickson, Misses Barry, Miss R. F. Chambless, Miss Isa- bel Coxs Messrs. l.. K. Sterrett. w. And erson, Henry Pilley and Barry, Miss Adele Simmons. organist.
 Capacity of Theatre. It is a singular fact, and one worthy of note that the largest audience which has ever filled the Montgomery Theatre was composed of Sunday School work CTS. The meeting in that structure on Tuesday evening filled every seat in the house, and hundreds had to be turn ed from the door. It was the largest crowd. according to the statement of the managers of the theatre. that had ever gathered in the theatre building.
 Delegates As sightseers.
 The large numbers of the delegates spent part of yesterday In sight seeing about Montgomery The capitol. the former home of Jefferson Davis. and other historic places about the city were visited by numerous parties who for a time left the meetings of the convention to see what Montgomery has to offer in the way of interest and att tractiveness.
 The suburban street cars yesterday afternoon were crowded with visitors who took the rides to the outlying places about the city, and many of the guests were entertained with carriage and automobile drives through the resi- dence district and the environs.

A KENTUCKY CLUB
ALABAMTANs TO PARTICIPATE IN
 LOUISVILLE HOMECOMING"
Several Thousand Citizens of This State May Become Interested in Great Occasion to he Held
 i'm June.

-
 The movement for the pilgrimage of native Kentuckians back to Kentucky during "Home-Coming Week" in Louisville in June. has suggested revival of the idea proposed by num- Der of native Kentuckians residing in Alabama, to form a club in Montgom- cry composed of native Kentuckians who have adopted Alabama as their home.
 The last census shows that of Ala bama citizens today. 4,207 of them are native Kentuckfans. and Kentucky may claim to be the birthplace of great number of prominent citizens of this State.
 The matter of organizing a Ken lucky Club has been agitated from time to time by some of the Kentuck- ians residing in Montgomery and else where in Alabama, and a number of those residing in Montgomery have recently suggested that the organiza- ton be perfected at once To that end. 1t has been suggested that all native Kentuckians residing in Alabama, who feel an interest in a social organization of this character, shall write letter to that effect to George W. Jones, In Montgomery. who is a native Kentuck- ian, and who is taking much interest In the proposed organization.
 It is contemplated that when a suf- fcient number of former KentuclSians shall have manifested an interest in the matter, that meeting will be call ed to perfect an organization.
 The success of this proposed Club IS assured in advance. and it Is predicted that 1t will be a social and fraternal organization second to none in ths South. -
 Louisville Is making elegant prepar- ations for the reception of the "home- comers." It Is expected that there will be 100000 visitors to the Kentucky metropolis.

Tired and weary. but happy and we'll pleased with the results of the Con- vention. the delegates streamed In hun- dreds down to the station. Farewells were said and they boarded the trains A short wait and they were started on the return journey to their homes. If they sighed when the train pulled out of the station. 1t was sigh of content Three days of hard strenuous work had been completed. other work of far reaching importance had been laid out and planned for.
 Most of all. they had the satisfaction of knowing that the convention had been the most successful and pleasant in the history of the work they are en- gagged in furthering. It was time to rest. And in resting, their thoughts re- turned with grateful remembrance to the kind people who had done so much to make the Convention a success and to make their own stay in Montgomery so pelasant and so satisfactory.

 uyiss Tthn ccrclusion of the evening ,..stsns nf inc sunday School visitors Iast rirbt ended what Is almost uni vtrsally pronounced to nave peen .ns birsest. the best and the most p.oa.S ble rathering of the state Associa''oi' In history. |. hays nsd inc opportunity of tasting of Mont roynerv's hospitality was evident rom j n. rernarks heard on every side. That Mnnfromery has been happy to receive Che visitinE delegates has been proved nv the manner in which the people oi the city have exerted themselves m their effort to make the out Of town guests comfortable.
 Host and guest, they have expressed themselves as pleased to have had this chance to be thrown together for q few days. Aside from the general rood which has been accomplished al the convention, it seems to be the uni- yersaI experience that the acquaint- anceships and friendships formed dur ing the short three days in which the visitors have been offered the hospital ity of the city, have added much to the personal experiences and enjoyment oi the Sunday school workers both in Montgomery and in the other parts of the State.
 There has been much pleasure in the personal contact of the guests and the hosts in this convention which will never be recorded. The convention mas had many interesting happening which have not found their ways into public notices. The little numbers not down on the program, the unexpected occurrences of which no official cogni: zance has been taken. but which VIII enrich the recollections of those who have seen and experienced them.-these have furnished a larg part or the m terest of the occasion to the individ- uals who have spent the three days oi the convention in Montgomery.
 Two Prominent Figures.
 One of the great number of figures whose prominence in the present con- vention entities them to more than local reputation. two stand high above the rest in the amount of attention they have received here. These are Marion Lawrance of Toledo, Ohio. the Secretary of the United States Sunday school work, and Miss Minnie R. Ken nedx of Opelika, the Primary Secretary of the Alabama State organization There has not been an important meet ing during the convention at which one or both of these have not figured prominently in the addresses. and their words have always received the hearty commendation of the audiences who have heard them.
 Marion Lawrance, who has once been referred to during the present con- vention as ..the foremost figure in Sun- day school work in the world" tells 8 humorous story of how he was first in- troduced into the work. He insists that he never undertook it of his own accord but that in every step which he has ever taken he has been dragged into 1t by the hand of God on the nape of his neck.
 It was seventeen years ago, Mir. Law rance says, that he was forced to- go into the Sunday school movement. Al a convention of Sunday school workers in the State of Ohio. the question was asked a prominent speaker. one of the most ardent of workers in Sunday school history, what could be done that would most help the movement in

Judge CartheI's Work.

At least one person in Montgomery will feel relieved from the action which was taken by the convention in raising $5.500 for the running expen- ses of the state organization. This person Is Judge Joseph Carthel, who was reelected yesterday to succeed himself as General Secretary of the State Sunday School movement
 During the period which he has oc- cupied that important position, Sec retary Carthel has been most actively employed in looking after the well fare of the organization. His hand has taken part in every move for the bet torment of the State Association.
 He has to large extent given up a lucrative legal practice that he might give more time to the work in which he is so deeply interested. During the last year the amount of work which attaches to his office has increased to colossal proportions. With the addi- tiona1 funds which have been pledged. however, it is planned to secure as- sistance for him in carrying out his work, an assistance which will be greatly appreciated by him. and which Is said to have become absolutely nec- essary for the good of the Associa- ton.
 Growth of Convention.
 The enormous proportion which the State organization has assumed during the last year. has given rise to some interesting discussions among the lead CTS in the Association. as to what measures can be taken in the future to accommodate crowds which attend the conventions. One plan suggested has
