Re was carrying these from the landing place at the foot of Vallejo street, where there were boat steps at the end of a twenty foot wharf, which new arrivals approached by Whitehall boats from the steamers that in those days anchored in the stream 300 yards from shore.

NEGROES GO TO JAIL
WERE IMPLICATED IN ACCUSED
 MURDERER's CONFESSION.
Jerry Ross and John Reese sept to Prison.--suspected of Complicity Tn Killing of John
 Finley.

new move was made in the Finley murder case yesterday when Jerry Ross and John Reese. negroes who have been held by the police since Sunday. suspected of complicity with Calvin Coleman in the killing of Finley, were committed to the county jail on war rants sworn out before Justice B. c. Young by Deputy Sheriff George Will son, charging murder. Will Reese. the third suspect held by the police. was released.
 Just what the new move means has been kept a secret by the police. Chief Taylor said last night that the war rants were sworn out without his knowledge or coEsent, and he was at a loss to know why the charges were brought against the negroes.
 Ross and Reese were arrested by the police immediately following the state ment of the father of Calvin Coleman. that his son had made a confession inn- plicating other negroes in the crime, but the police have steadily declined to believe any one but Coleman had hand in the killing The negroes es- tablished alibis to the satisfaction of the police. and 1t had been said evil dence was to be secured corroborating the confession of Coleman.
 Justice Young denied the negroes bail. and set their preliminary hearing for March 2. It Is supposed they will be held for the further investigation of the grand jury, which conyenes again March 4.

BILL TO FIX RATES
TUNsTALL INTRODUCES RAILROAD
 MEASURE IN HOUSE.
Provides That State Commission Shall Make Scale to Permit Per Cent. Interest on Value
 of Roads.

The measure introduced in the House yesterday afternoon by former Speaker Tunstall. to provide a manner of fixing the rates to be charged within the State of Alabama. has some rather unique features.
 It provides, in effect, that the rail- road rates shall be fixed by the Rail- road Commission to permit the railroad companies a total income sufficient to pay the eyesnses of operating their upon the actual valuation of the roads. This valuation, of course, would be the stumbling block in the way of any such adjudication of rates, and the bill pro. vides that the actual value of the prop erty-not the amount of "'watered stock"-shall be determined by ma- jority of a comm ssion, to be selected, one by the Governor of the State. an- other by the president of the railroad. and the third by those two, If they are able to agree. and if not. by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State.
 'The idea in the bill Is my own." said Mir. Tunstall yesterday. discuss ing the measure. but 1t certainly looks to me Ike a square deal.' The rail- roads are certainly entitled. to make thnir expenses. and some sort of in- terest on their actual investment in building the road, and this bill makes such provision in what seems to me to be a fair and impartial manner"
