This adds one more to long list OF

this public spirited young woman

the part with wrath and force
which kept things lively. Mr..

Harry, played true to the color of
his locks and gave life to the part.
Mr.. May Anderson as the cowardly
dude Simpson, did an excellent bit
of character work. 1t was consis-
tently and truly played. Charley,
a carpenter, was impersonated by
Mr.. Perry Miller. In portraying
this dissaproving, yet admiring,
lover of the holden Nan. Mr.. Miller
showed good taste and easy natural
ness. How can VIC do justice to

Coal Cars in Demand.

In order to equalize the distribution of cars among the coal producers along their road. officials of the Frisco rail- road have just completed a conference with operators in Walker and Jefferson coCnty. This was held so that there shall be no complaint this winter on the part of the coal mine operators One hundred and ninety three cars of coal are produced on an average along the Frisco railroad. This means that no less than two hundred and fifty cars must be ready at all times for the operators When 1t is taken into con- sideration that many cars of coal are hauled a long distance and the cars do not get back to the district in quite a while it can readily be seen how necessary it is to have plenty of cars. The plan on the Frisco railroad will probably be adopted by the Southern where many more cars are needed for handling the coal traffic and some decision may be arrived at so as to hold down complaints as to the car situa- tion- as much as possible. The general fuel agent of the Frisco system, E. McGualey, headquarters in St. Louis. has been in the Birmingham district for several days and has been meeting with the operators along his line. All Frisco railroad coal mine operators an- nounce that they have orders on hand which will warrant a steady operation of their properties all through the win ter.

PROBE KILLING
CORONER OF JEFFERSON COUNTY
 HOLDS AN INQUEST.
Death of Joseph Wise at Hands of Dep- uffes Causes Investfgation--StFeet Car Conductors Murderer
 Under Suspicion.

Birmingham. Sept. 15.-(SpeciaI. )--A large number of people from New Mer- kei, the settlement over Red Mountain in the vicinity of the pump station of the Birmingham Water Company. were in the city today to participate in or watch the Investigation by Acting Cor oner W. g. Russell into the killing of Joseph Wise by three deputy sherifrs Friday.
 Deputies Cowan, Curl and Helton, &C., companied by a representative of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad Company. the largest corporation in the South. went to New Merkel Friday to dispossess Mrs. Ephraim Wise. the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company having instituted legal pro- ceedings looking to possession of the property. When the party arrived at the Wise home they found Mrs. Wise there with some young children. They informed her of their object and she insisted on sending for her older sons who were at work in the field. When the older sons came to the place they were armed with axes. which they had been using, and 1t is stated that Joseph Wise started towards one of the depu- ties. Before he could use the weapon he had been literally filled with lead and fell dead in his tracks. Much in- dignation Is expressed over the shoot ing, though the dead man showed shots in his chin and on his arm indicating that the arm was In an upright posi- tion when he was killed It is claimed by the Wise family that their father wears and years ago secured a deed from the United States government for the property and that there was no gale or lease made. Considerable e&- ception was taken to the killing also, and an investigation was requested. Much testimony was offered, including that of the mother of the dead man. The three deputies who were involved were on hand as well as other officials of the sheriff's office. The acting cor oner ordered the remains buried and the funeral took place this afternoon, large number of people following the hearse over the mountain and to the cemetery at New Merkel. The grand fury is now in session and 1t is likely that this affair will be thoroughly in- Yestigated by that body. just as soon as the acting coroner makes out his report. The three deputies are all we'll known, have been in the service many years. and are brave and consistent workers.

LUMBER EXPORTERS
A SUCCESSFUL MEETING IS HELD
 AT PENSACOLA.
Mobile Ia Selected as the Head Domi- ciIe of the AssOciation-SeriOuB Charges Preferred Against
 Florida Sheriff.

Pensacola, Fla, Sept 15-(Special)- )- The meeting of the Gulf Coast Lumber Exporters Association, held here yes- terday and last night, was most i'm portant and successful one, and re- suited in much work being done to- wards completing the organization of this association. One of the princi- pal matters of interest was the elec- tion of J. G. Joiner as chief inspector of the association. He Is now em- ployed by the Keyser-Muldon Com pany as chief inspector for that firm, and Is considered one of the finest in spectors along the coast.
 The Executive Committee and the chief inspector will select inspectors for each of the gulf ports. and all in- spectors at those ports will be under the supervision and receive instruc- tions as to the proper classification of lumber and timber from him. The meeting here was the, most largely attended of any of the meetings held since the organization of the associa- ton. exporters being here. from all gulf ports.
 The head domicile of the association was the matter of much discussion and interest. New Orleans and Mobile were both put in nomination, but the latter was almost the unanimous choice, the entire Pensacola delega- tion voting for Mobile, as we'll as Gulf port. The latter port was chosen as the next meeting place, which will be the annual session. After the busi- ness session, the members spent the afternoon on the bay and at Santa Rosa Island, where fish chowder was served and surf-bathing enjoyed. Last night a short business session was held, and later a conference between Chief Inspector Joiner and the mem- bers of the Executive Committee rela- tive to the naming of subordinate in- sDectOrs

One of the important commissions which yet remains to be appoipted by Governor B. B.. Conner is the Tuber. culosis Commission. provided for. in an act passed during the July session ol the Legislature.
 In this. like many other innovations Alabama takes the first step towards and will spend s25.00o to establish 6 tuberculosis reserve where patients can be treated and where experiments can be made with the germ.
 When the bill asking for the estab. lishment of the commission. and the appropriation of this sum of money was first presented to the House, it wal not seriously considered. but when the State Board of Health demonstrated the urgent needs of the commission, the bill was passed. almost without change
 Before going away on his vacation Governor Conner stated that the ap- pointment of this commission would be one of the first acts upon his return to the city. He is very much interested in the commission, and the establish ment of the sanitarium.
 The law provides that the Governor shall be chairman of the Board Of Commissioners. the State Health Oh1cer. secretary. and that two laymen and three doctors be appointed. The terms oL the iaymen VIII end In 1S1l and 1912, respectively, while the medical members will be appointed for terms endisg is 1908. 1909, and 1910, at the end of which time the medical mem- bers of the Board are to be elected for terms of five years each, the State Med ical Society making the selections.
 The State Medical Assouiation was also strongly in favor of the passage of the bill appointing the commission.
 A site Is yet to be selected in some remote spot of high altitude, and g building constructed, which 1t is the purpose of those behind the movement to add to as necessity arises. 6

REVIEW OF MARKETS
CONFLICTING INFLUENCES IN THE
 FINANCIAL SITUATION.
The Governments Crop Report Leaves a Feeling of Confidence That Sur plus VIII Be Left for
 Export.

New York, Sept. 15.-A number of distinctly conflicting influences in the financial situation, made their effect felt in the securities market last week, the action of the market rehecting the dominance first of one side and then of another. The disturbing effect of the critical conditions in the copper trade and their candid acknowledgement by authorities high in authority in the great producing companies, upset the market in time to overthrow the bene- fits which had begun to be felt from the clearing money outlook, the success of the New York city bond sale and the shaping of the final yield of the coun- try's great staple crops. The demand for copper is said to be completely par alyzed with no point of stability in sight at which re-awakened buying may arrest the declining tendency and with huge blocks of refined copper al- ready accumulated by the great pro- ducers The financial burden of hold ing these vast aceumulations is aggra- vated by the closeness of the money market and credence Is given to re- ports that banks were unwilling to ex- tend loans against copper and were in fact recalling them. The indicated in tention to cut down production, there fore, seemed to offer no occasion for surefise. but came as a palpable shock to continent nevertheless.
 h the iron trade some revival of de- mand is reported and somewhat firmer market tone. but a falling of in pro- ductive capacity there Is 8 factor in the situation also.
 While the drastic liquidation and the prolonged decline in the stock market obviously represent the process of re- adjustment there to these developments in general trade and business, financial opinion halts over the future while the extent of the industrial reaction Is still undehned. The relaxation which has come to the money markets and which has been pronounced in all the great centers. was accepted as a reliable in- dication that one great factor in the strain had turned the corner to im- provement.
 The government crop report in spite of the deterioration shown fin the grain crops, leaves a feeling of confidence that a considerable surplus will be left available for export at profitable fig ures The heavy outgo of cotton is ev- idence that sufficient stocks of that im- portant commodity to make It's usual large showing in the country's export trade exists Demand for older issues of bonds was light, but the outcome of the New York city bond issue did not Induce any great drastic price read 4ustment.
