unpleasant and somewhat painful acci-
dent the other evening She was in a
room where there was no light and stoop-
ed quickly to pick up something she had
dropped, and in doing so one of her eyes
came in contact with the top of an outside
upright bar of the back OF a chair.

Meserole as recovering nicely from the
unfortunate accident.

MANN HEARING ON.
Examination of Town Topics Editor on

Perjury Charge.
 New York. Feb. 5.-The examination of Col William D. Mann, editor of Town Topics. cn a charge of perpurv, was continued today. This charge grew out of the recent sensational trial of Nor man Hapgood editor of Golfers Week. ly. on a charge of criminal libel, pre- ferred by Justice Joseph NJ. Beuel, one of the stockholders of Town Topics The perjury charge was based on Colo nel Mann's testimony in the Hapgood trial that he did not write the words % K and the initials w. D.

 The stenograrhtc record of the Hap good trial was admitted as evidence by Justice McAvoy who conducted the herring

MAYORS VETO IS SUSTAINED MT. leagues Message on Railway Measure. OPPOSED TO THE METHODS Council Will Frame New Ordinance
 to Fit Case. chif Executive Agrees That City should be Remunerated but Doe. Not
 Like waivinF Right of
 Taxation.

Aayor Teague, as was expected, ve- toed the ordinance granting the Mont gomery Traction Company right to con- meet it's tracks with those of the new iy acquired Montgomery Street Rail- way and contrary to expectations the City Council sustained his veto by a unanimous vote.
 The Mayors grounds on which the veto was made differed widely from what wise ones expected. It was | thought that the Mayor did not think that $5,000 for the privilege of allow ing the Traction Company's tracks to remain on Montgomery Street and Dexter Avenue and one per cent of the company's gross receipts for ten years ard two per cent. for the next ten years and thereafter. was enough for the valuable franchise given. Such was not the case, however, He did not re- gard these conditions as unreasonable but he thought that the results should be obtained through other methods. He did not believe that 1t would be wise to surrender the right of the Council to impose license tax upon this cor poratfon or any other corporation. To impose percentage tax, as the Coun- ell did in the ordinance would proba- bly,, in his mind, operate as contract and he advised that under no circum- stances should the Council, in revenue
 
 handicap future Councils, either legal ly or morally.
 Message of the Mayor.
 The message of the Mayor was as follows;
 T herewith hand you. without my approval. an ordinance, entitled, An Ordinance to permit. in the event of a consolidation of Montgomery Trac- tion Company. Montgomery Street Rail- way. and the Montgomery Suburban Street Railway Company, certain con-, nections to be made between the tracks of said companies.
 That part of the ordinance which provides for the removal of tracks from Mobile and South Perry streets has my approval
 From a revenue standpoint. l do not regard the conditions imposed as bur densome or unreasonable. If we can obtain the same results, however, by other methods. it would, in my judg- ment, be advisable Co dn so.
 ITO my mind 1t would be unwise to surrender the rights of this Council, or your successors, to impose a license tax upon this corporation or any other corporation. To impose a percentage tax in lieu of all other licenses, as provided in Section 6, would probably operate as a contract, and. under no circumstances. should the Council. in revenue matters, enact legislation which would handicap this or any future Council, either legally or morally Leave the City Council free, so that they can impose such a license tax as they may deem proper.
 "Seventy-five hundred dollsrs would not be an unreasonable sum to require of this corporation for the privileges sought, and hereafter the Council could fix the amount of license. If. under this arrangement, the interest of the city was not protected, the blame could be easily located.
 Respectfully

FINEl THE COUNCIL TAKES STEPS
 TO ABATE THE MULE NUISANCE

Aha. There is gleam of hope in a sullen sky.
 Perhaps in the near future we will be relieved of taking practical busi- ness college course in the art of dodg- ing and walk our streets in safety.
 Perhaps in a few weeks we will be ahle to seek comfort on our downy couches and not be disturbed by wild and petulant fancies of long cared, and Maud-iike hoofs running over our sleeping bodies.
 There is yet hope that the business streets of Montgomery, modern and civilized, will not daily sound and look like Frozen Dog. Arizona, when Three Fingered Pete and his bloody band of bad boxers arrives from Cory Gulch.
 And there is yet possibility that Montgomery may become q still great CT mule market without the necessity of it's citizens buying airships in which to do their shopping.
 For list, and yet again listen:
 The Aldermen of the city of Mont gomery actually talked about remedy ing the mule plague at its regular meeting last night. The Mayor firmly admonished them to do something to stop the transfer of Dexter Avenue into a ranch. and Alderman Ryan of the Police Committee introduced an ordi- nance providing that whenever in the future mules are transferred through the streets. they shall not bc allowed to run loose but shall be firmly tied in punches of two and shall thus be given their daily exercise.
 The ordinance will come up at the next regular meeting. It will at that time probably be passed. Hooray. Likewise Hurran! Yippee' Viva! Hochl and Vow! which is Zambesian for Liang Nisang, the same in Bowery meaning fine and dandy"
 The Mayors message was as follows:
 'In my opinion action should be taken by your honorable body to more effect ually handle the driving of mules in droves through the streets of the city

The Illinois Central RaIIroad.

The Judiciary and Railway Commit tees of the Birmingham City Council will meet at noon tomorrow to con- slider the petition of the Illinois Gen. tral Railroad for franchises to use cer- tain streets and avenues of the west ern part of the city in getting into Birmingham. The meeting promises to be interesting inasmuch as a number of citizens will attend and offer ob- jection to certain streets being closed. The Illinois Central has purchased con- siderable property in the western pact of the city to be used as terminals. A freight depot will be erected also.

Immigration Society Secretary.

Eliot Lord, of New York, secretary of the Italian-American Agricultural Association, who is making a tour of the South In the interest of immigra- tion, Is in the city today and goes from here to Atlanta. Mir. Lord is very much impressed with this section as Q field for the best class of European immi- grants who can till farms, raise truck, cultivate vineyards and the like. The society which he represents and of which Bishop Frederick is the presi- dent has already established a number of promising colonies in the South and all of themf are doing well.
 Mir Lord is of the opinion that a more national immigration act by Con gress is needed. He thinks that pro- vision should be made for the selection of the immigrants before they leave Europe and also means of informing them where they are most needed and where they can do best. In brief, his idea Is to prevent the congestion of aliens in the big cities and to arrange for their distribution in those States where they can do best and are in greatest demand.
 He says that a great many desirable foreigners are going to Canada, where land is more costly tHln in the South He would divert this class of immigra- tion to tie Southern States. where land can he Tchased more cheaply and where conditions are more favorable.
 While here Mir. Lord will confer with the officers of the Commercial Club and Board of Trade and also with Commits soiner Ross C. Smith, of the Immigra- tion and Industrial Association of Ala bama- He has letters from Congress- man John Sharp Williams, of Missis- sippi, and other Dror>-ent men in Con- gress

 In Nashville the city mas hospital that costs $73,000. The mainteance of this hospital during the past year amounted to $14.93325, exclusive of the medicine bill, which was $14,0OO alone. There were 6,4S5 patients cared for one way or another.
 In Mobile the city owns the hospital and the Sisters of Charity are in charge under contract Other cities will submit information in regard to the hospital work, and, as stated, the city council will be gwen all the data
 Said Alderman ONeal this morning There is no telling the amount of work being done at the Hillman and St. Vincent hospitals. There is much hard work on the part of the manage nlent of both establishments in order to veet the expenses. The city's sick Is given every consideration at these institutions in accordance to facilities, and there no record of any one be- ing refused poit blank deserved at- tention."
