Da.sasI.aea wieh schedule.

The new schedule over the Western Railway of Alabama. which goes into effect next Sunday, still continues to be discussed with indignation by the business men of the city. If changes are not made in the schedule the trains operated over that road from Mont gonery to this city will be of no ben eft to Selma.
 The Eastern mail is an important factor to the business interests of Sel- ma It is figured the new schedule will put this mail in Selma almost twelve hours after the same has arrived in Montgomery. This is one of the great fst inconveniences of the new schedule, but there are others attached to it which arc just as great and which will hurt Selma in many ways
 At the meeting of the Board of Di- rectors of the Commercial and Indus trial Association a few evenings ago. Secretary Slater was requested to ad dress communication to President Wickersham of the Atlanta and West Point Route. setting before him the many disadvantages which the new schedule would work for Selma, and asked him to have a third daily train between Montgomery and Selma put on. No answer to this communication has been received as yet. but it Is be- iieved the new train will be put on.

WOMAN DENIED
PART OF ESTATE
Handwriting Expert Corrects Testi-
mony-Litigation Caused by.
Four Lines in Bill
of Sale

Judge Rives in the probate court yes
terday denied without prejudice the petit
tion of Mrs. May Jesse to have part of
the estate of Charles Collins, deceased,
transferred TO her
The petitioner claimed that the prop
erty, situated at 444 South Grand avenue,
had been transferred to her before. his
death by the terms of a bill of sale, which
was offered in evidence.
The heirs of the estate, E. W. and o. l..
Houghton, made a vigorous opposition to
the petition, and claimed that the alleged
bill of sale had been tampered with, and
four additional lines interpolated, thereby
changing materially the terms of the sale.
In the hearing of the case Daniel T.
Al.les, a handwriting expert of San Fran
cisco, was called to testify to the genu-
ireness of the signature attached to the
instrument and declared that Collins had
written the whole bill, including the sig
nature.
This was contrary to the claims of all of
the interested persons, for it had been
conceded that the bill of sale had been
drawn up by John Shaffer, Collins agent
Yesterday Ames was recalled and cor
rected his former testimony by stating
that he intended to testify that Collins
had written the signature only, and that
the microscopic examination had shown
that the four lines which had caused the
present litigation had been written at
time subsequent to the original signature.
The petition to the probate court was
merely formal proceeding, and the case
viii now be tried on its merits in another
department of the superior court.
