Additional Court Room.

At the request of the solicitor, the board of revenue will take no action with reference to the securing of sad- ditional quarters for the three new judges until 1t has been ascertaineG whether or not court may be legally held in any other place except the court house. A point of law is involv- ed and the solicitor wants to see that nothing is overlooked in the trial of cases.
 It was the intention of the board to rent temporary, rooms elsewhere than the court house. In the event that the solicitor decides that court must be held in the court house, the board will have to get busy at once.

Coroner Makes statement.

In filing his monthly statement and bills to the Board of Revenue of Jeff ferson County Coroner Paris today said. among other things: T want to impress 1t upon the mind of the Board that I am not trying to see how much money can make out of the office, but 1t has always been to sec how little l could make an inquest cost the county and do my full duty. Another fact l wish to call your attention to and you will no doubt agree with me. that mur- der and highway robbery are on the sn- crease in the county at a rapid rate. there having been more sensational and mysterious murders committed in Jecerson County in the last six months than committed in any other county or state in the Union in that period of time. and I dare say that the majority of these murders were committed for the purpose of robbery"
 The coroner announced today that he had struck clue in the murder of the unknown man whose body has been held at the Gaudin undertaking estab- lishment for tffe past three weeks await ing Identification. The man was pick ed up on Powell avenue and Nineteenth street in an unconscious condition from injuries inflicted on the head and he died at the hospital. Three times the body has been identified and then the mystery would continue as the party named would show up.

NEGROES TAKE THEIR PLACES Coast Line Strikers Stand
 Pat. BOTH SIDES ARE CONFIDENT Little Change in Situation Affecting
 Car Men. Former Employees at Meeting Decide to Take No Action for Present.
 Machinists Say They
 Are Satisfied.
10TH SIDES ARE CONFIDENT

Both sides in the strike of the car workers at the shops of the Atlantic Coast Line in West Montgomery were standing pat yesterday. The ohicials claim that within the next few days they will have men enough to take the places of the strikers. On the other hand the strikers say they are confi- dent they will gain their point.
 From the Coast Line shops yesterday, freight cars were being transferred ts the yards and shops of the Louisville and Nashville and other roads. If these cars were in need of repairs, the roads mentioned above would have the work done at their shops.
 The most important incident of the day was the fact the employment of negroes yesterday morning to fill the places of the striking car repairers. This aroused considerable Ill feeling among the ranks of the striking Coast Line men, and the result was there was a called meeting last night of Magno- lia Lodge, No. 5S. the local lodge of the International Carworkers' Union.
 The purpose of the meeting was to protest to the officials of the Coast Line in regard to the employment of negroes. The program was to appoint a committee to go before the officials of the Coast Line and ask that the ne- groes should not be allowed to do the work formerly done by white men. The meeting was called at o'clock with full attendance, including the car in- spectors of every road in Montgomery. After full discussion of the matter, it was decided to take no action Gn the negro question for the present, but to await developments.
 The car inspectors of the other roads in Montgomery resolved that in the future any car in bad order sent to hat ltvnn fny ha Idnn v1rn1yld he immediately returned to the shops of the Coast Line. The effect of this will be, said one of the strikers. to hamper the Coast Line shops in Montgomery. The Coast Line, they declare, will have an increasing string of useless freight ears on their hands, for which they are paying a per diem of $1 Yesterday all the cars in need of repairs were sent to the Savannah shops of the Coast Line.
 The back yard of the Coast Line shopa presented deserted appearance yesterday. No white men were to pc seen working on ths cars, a number of wfith wrc scattered about the yard In the same condition as when the strik- Ing car men quietly walked out Satur- day morning. At different points. groups of negroes were working on the cars the white car men had left.
 There were already about thirty ne- groes employed as car repairers, said Master Mechanic Persall of the Coast Line shops yesterday. Every one of these negroes has returned to work. and think that within few days, we will be in as good shape as we were before the trouble began. All the car cleaners have returned. and we are gradually getting into shape
 None of the negroes employed as ear repairers." said one of the strikers, '4was allowed to do any work on a car above the trucks. No one but mem-
