started and as result number of
men were discharged.
1t is claimed that the investiga-
tions made by the railroad company
revealed the fact that in several cas-
es the men had taken two or three
tons OF coal each, having 1t hauled
to their homes. 1t was further
claimed that coal cars were run out
from the chutes and wagons loaded
up and taken away. The company
at once proceeded to discharge the
men it held as guilty.
Now comes the railroad mems side
of the story. and very reasonable
story 1t appears to be.
Yesterday. before notaries public.
the accused and discharged men made
out and swore to affidavits in which
they stated the facts in the case as
they appeared to them.
The men declare that the matter
which led to their discharge occurred
several weeks ago, before a change
was made in division superintend-
ehts. They assert that one day there
were number of cars containing
more or less coal in the yards and
that the beet sugar company was
very anxious to get hold of these and
all other cars suitable for hauling
beets, as there was shortage of
the cars just at that time. These
cars having coal in them had been
III the yards for some time. They
were cars that were well adapted to
hauling beets. Now the men assert
that Superintendent Matthews in
formed them that the cars would
have to be emptied at once and de-
livered to the sugar company, and
the men claim that Mr.. Matthews
told them that they could help them
selves to what coal they wanted, as

men ARE DISCHARGED HERE
ON A SENSATIONAL COMP.

| they might as well have it in prefer
ehce to leaving it in the cars for the
ranchmen or beet growers to take.
, The men claim that, acting under
this statement from Mr.. Matthews.
they proceeded to empty the cars and
take the coal to their homes, making
no efforts. it seems, to do the work
in a secret manner.
The men claim that there was lot
very large amount of coal in the
cars. 1t seemed that the coal was
the property of the railroad COM
pany. The men declare that they
had no desire nor intention of TAX
ing the coal unlawfully.
Since that time there has been a
change In superintendents, and Mr..
Matthews left several weeks ago to
take charge of important work on
the Panama railroad.
The discharged men and their
friends do hot believe that the mat
ter would ever have been given any
attention had Mr.. Matthews remained
division superintendent, but that the
new superintendent was not fully ac-
quainted with the circumstances.
The men believe that they have
been treated unjustly and that when
the railroad officials are fully ac-
quainted with the circumstances they
will be exonerated. They propose
to take the matter up to the officials
themselves.
There may yet be some very inter
estihg developments in the affair.
While it is certain that the prac-
tice of taking coal unlawfully from
the railroad yards has grown to an
alarming extent. calling forth spe-
cial efforts to put a stop to it, 1t is
not at all certain that these men have
been guilty of such acts. Their ex-
planatioh sounds very plausible.

"AT THE OLD CROSS ROADS,

In glancing over the rosters of the
many dramatic companies that are
booked to play here this season, we
notice that one of the most meritous
is that of Arthur C. Aiston'D "At
the Old Cross Roads company,
which is enjoying the seventh annu-
al tour. and which will be seen here
at the Park opera house, Tuesday,
December 10. They are all artists
of noted reputation, and 1t is evident
that no pains or expense have been
spared in bringing together such an
excellent coterie of players in one or
ganization. 1t includes many of the
original members who were promi-
neht in the initial performances on
Broadway and several others of equal
note. A treat is in store for our
theatergoers and the sale of seats
promises to be one of the liveliest
of the present season.

FRUIT PRICES ADVANCE.

The price of winter apples on the
eastern markets has advanced con
siderably in the past few days.
Early in the season fancy Ben Da
Wis apples sold for $1.75; but fol
lowing the panic the price dropped Il
less than $1.25 and there was lit
tie demand Mt any price.
Within the past week the associa
tion has sold the Bens for the formei
price, and the demand is graduall!

According to the reports in circu-
latioh ten or twelve of the best
known railroad men employed in the
local yards and shops have been dis
charged from their positions by the
railroad company on the grounds
that these men helped themselves to
large amount of coal that was load
ed in cars liz the yards, and the mat
ter has caused a decided sensation
in local railroad circles.
For fear that an injustice may be
done and in view of the fact that
there now appears to be some miti-
eating circumstances, The Sentinel
refrains from giving publication to
the names of the men discharged
from the service over this matter.
However, IL what the men con-
tend is true, they did no wrong il
helping themselves to the coal.
AS announced some time ago by
The Sentinel, the railroad authori-
ties have been endeavoring to appre-
bend the persons who have been gull
ty from time to time of appropriat-
ing for their own use coal from the
yards.
Some days ago complaint was
filed with the railroad company, ac-
cording to the reports circulated. by
certain local lumber company that
handles coal. This complaint set
forth that certain railroad employees
had been guilty of stealing coal from
the yards III large quantities. How
ever, according to the best informa-
ton at hand, this coal did not belong
to the company filing the complaint
nor was it in any way loser by it's dis
appearance.

BIGGER BIRMINGHAM
THREE BILLS ON SUBJECT BEFORE
 LEGISLATURES.
seuat. Committee Hears Delegation on Smeyer Measure. But Delay" Action to Hear Lieuten-
 ant-GNYernOf Gray.

The Jefferson County delegation and the numerous visitors from Birming- ham are engaged in the hottest sort or a local fight over the extension or the city limits of Birmingham
 There are three distinct propositions before the Legislature for Greater Birmingham and every man supporting one of the propositions has keen knife for the other two. The senate Committee on Municipal Organizations had a protracted session in the Firm ingham troubles Tuesday
 The committee had before 1t what is known as the Smeyer bill This bill establishes what is called non~ taxing districts, that is. districts on which in- dustrial plants are now located and which are not to be taxed until they have a certain number of inhabitants.
 There are two other measures The first of these is the one favored by Senator Miller, which provides Tor referendum vote. that is. the people or the districts involved in the proposed change will be given the opportunity to say by their vote whether they will or will not come into the city.
 The King bill. fathered by Repre- sentative King, calls for the annexa- ton without vote of the districts which it is believed should properly be made a part of the city.
 The Smeyer bill. which was also con sidered at the winter session, held the center of the stage before the Senate Committee. Mayor Gorge B. Ward of Birmingham. President Sterling Wood of the Commercial Club. Secretary J. B. Babb of the same organization, and former Congressman Sidney J. Bowie addressed the committee on the mer- its of the various propositions for en- larging Birmingham.
 The committee postponed action on the matter at the request of Lieuten- ant Governor Gray, who is opposed to the Smeyer bill. The Lieutenant Gov ernor wishes for an opportunity of ap- bearing before the committee.
 There is a tradition that once upon a time there was one piece of legis- lation affecting Birmingham on which the Jefferson County delegation was not divided. But it must have been a genera tion ago. Nobody now remembers when the delegation ever united on an important piece of local legislation.

DREDGE FOR OYSTERS
THAT CLAUSE IN MOBILE BILL THAT
 CAUSES TROUBLE.
No Agreement Yet Reached on the Measure by the Members of the Delegation from
 the Gulf.

No positive agreement has been reached by the Mobile delegation to the Legislature over the proposed oys- ter law. although the delegation ex- poets to come to some understandlns soon There are among the members those who object to the dredging clause in toto, although if nothing bet ter can be obtained. they will accept the amendment to the bill that has al- ready been agreed upon.
 The original clause In the bill forbids dredging vessels operated by steam' but permits sailing vessels to operate dredges to the depth of six feet. The amendment that has been accepted makes this depth nine feet.
 Speaking of this clause. one or the delegation said that Mississippi had tried this dredging business and found it injured the reefs to such an extent that they were glad to put stop 10 it. He said the reefs were not nearly as strong in Mobile bay as those In the Mississippi waters. and he was sat- isfied that If dredging is permitted that 1t will irreparably injure the oyster business.
 AS regards the license fees per boat. the original bill requires that owners of boats shall pay a fee of $l0.50 on boats of one ton burden. and under five tons, and graduates the fee on
 
 thus far makes all boats or skiffs under five tons burden exempt from license fees, and requires that boats of five tons and less than ten tons shall pay a fee of g. 50. Those over ten tons and less than fifteen tons. $5; those over fifteen tons and less than twenty tons, $10. As it would not be possi- ble to operate a boat of over twenty tons burden. and, in fact, there are few of these that can be operated. 1t is not necessary to make rates for boats drawing more water.
 A tax of 3 cents a barrel is arranged for by the bill. which is considered sufficient by the delegation. Other features of the bill provide for an oyster commission, for a tax on canning factories and shippers for 8 patrol for the oyster grounds. for a closed season. for the spreading of oyster beds, for standard of meas urement. and makes 1t unlawful to take oysters in the shell or partially cooked out of the State of Alabama for the purpose of canning.
 An appropriation of $2O,00O Is asked for for the years 1908. 1909. 1910 and 1911, to be used by the oyster com- mission.
