DECISION SUSTAINED
 IN RUDOLPH CASE
Judge Jones Hears Appeal In Cham bers-Defendant's Release Ordered
 On Making $500 Bond.

Henry w. Rudolph, charged with hay ing used the mails for fraudulent pur- poses, appeared before Judge Jones, in chambers, yesterday on an appeal taken from decision of Commissioner Watts, whereby the defendant was held to ap- pear before the United States district court for the eastern district of Illinois, which will convene on the first Monday in May. 1907, in East St. Louis, III.
 The appeal was taken from an order of removal issued from the commissioners court. Judge Jones rendered the follow ing decision:
 At Birmingham, Ala, in the matter of
 the removal of Henry w. Rudolph. Jones, District Judge
 The court has carefully considered the objections raised by counsel to the mak- ing of the order of removal, and finds them insufficient.
 Conceding that the first count of the Indictment does not charge any offense against the United States, the second count remains to be considered. It does charge an offense against the United States of which the United States district court for the eastern district of Illinois ,has jurisdiction, and while thta count may, as argued by counsel have infirmi- ties for which 1t may be quashed in the court where it was found, that cannot be considered here. It is admitted that Rudolph is the identical person named in the indictment. The indictment charges an offense against the United States. There Is probable cause. Benson V. Hem kel, 19S U. S. I. The United States at torney may prepare the usual order of removal, providing, however, that Ru dolph be released from custody, and the marshal from executing the order of removal, upon Rudolph's giving bond in the sum of five hundred (S50O dollars to be approved by Commissioner Watts, for his appearance before the United States district court for the eastern district of Illinois, on the first day of it's next term, beginning on the first Monday in May, 1907, and from day to day and term to term thereafter, until discharged by due course of law.

and metropolitan development of Bir- mingham, Montgomery md Mobile. In other words it is said thit a law proving very acceptable to Selma or Tuscaloosa might be altogether out of order as ef- fecting Birmingham. Thee are number of legislative enactments in conflict with municipal ordinances. A1other matter of importance is that the salaries of city officials is limited by the legislature. It is said the salary limit il not fitting for cities as large as Birminaham, Mobile or Montgomery. The Mayorof Birmingham gets but $20O per month.
 Just what will be dole at the con ference today is unknown, but it is the intention of the officials to discuss these and other matters, with the general ob- ject of seeking relief through the next legislature.

J. Sans, superintendent of the Birming- ham division of the Frisco.
 This board was elected yesterday at a meeting of the Birmingham Terminal company. After it's organization it trans acted a great deal of routine in connec- tion with moving the passenger station on the first of January. The meeting was held in the Brown Marx building. All the railroads entering Birmingham will use the new station except the Louis vile and Nashville, which road has noti- fled the other roads that they would have to vacate the present station on the first of the year.
 A temporary station south of Fifth avenue on the site of the new station is being erected to take care of the pas senger travel until the new structure can be completed. This work will not ln- terfere with the permanent arrangements in progress.

 consultation was held between the attorneys and the court, in which 1t was contended on the part of the govern ment that it was not necessary to read the whole indictment.

 In order to allow the defendant time to prepare his pleas, the court took recess until 10 o'clock this morning.
