WILL CROSS OCEAN
 AWAY UP IN THE AIR
Captain Baldwin Makes Some
 Interesting Predictions
lUSITANlA A SLOW COACH
The Day Will Soon Come When Fast est Ocean Vessel Will Be Entire ly Foreotten-Has Had Strik-
 ing Experiences.

Captain Baldwin, inventor of the air ship which bears his name, predicts that within another 20 years people will be crossing the ocean several hundred feet above the water.
 Captain Baldwin made the remark above after discussing the record breaking trip across the Atlantic of the ship Lusltania He compared the speed of the Lusitania to that of the first ships making the voyage, then considered so perlous. "ro think" said Baldwin, Hess than a hun dred years ago. Napoleon, with his mas ter mind, declined the use of steamships in carrying his men across the water. He almost sneered at the suggestion, be- lieving that wind alone could propel a vessel
 Just what will happen in another cen tury cannot be imagined A hundred years ago, if you had told an American cit izen that the ocean would eventually be crossed in a trife more than four days, he would have considered you mad How long, do you suppose, 1t will take a ship to cross the ocean in 2007? It is safe prediction that the Lusitanla's record will not be a permanent one.
 Travel In the air is the natural mode of travel" continued Captain Baldwin.
 sThere is no expense of laying rails There Is no expense in fuel, compara- lively and practically. In making q short flight, as last week at the fair grounds. I consumed less than a pint of gasoline You can see how cheaply navigation through the air can be accomplished hesitate about predicting concerning the airship. A hundred years ago, if some one had stated that there would be a ship invented which could sail through the air under the guidance of a man arm and brain. the natives would not have believed. What will another hun- dred years bring forth? What will the money-mad American do with an inven- tion which will revolutionize travel and minimize the expense? Some of these days, a gigantic Gear, with a regular schedule, made comfortable and safe for passengers. will be navigated The inn provement of the airship Is noted every year. The day will come when the steam engine will be considered antedated, and the steamship, even the Lnsitania, will he forgotten"
 Captain Baldwin is an exceedlnelv in- teresting man. He Is q pleasant racon- teur His experiences are numerous and entertaining. Captain Baldwin lost con siderable paraphrenalia in the big San Francisco earthquake He had been living in California for several years and Jeff San Francisco but two days before the disaster. He was en route to Washington to consult with Walter Wellman regard ing his aerial polar expedition when he received news of the disaster

INCIDENT AT MONTGOMERY MAY
 CAUSE A FEARFUL Mlx-UP IN
 ALABAMA RAILROAD SITUATION. WHAT DOES GOVERNOR THINK?

"Out of the crown of a derby shall wisdom come"
 This is a time of strange and, won derful things. The mountains move, the sun goeth out at mid day, the lion Is tame, and quivereth in his den. Man. the glory of the universe, bewildered, looks around with the perplexed ex- pression of a cur with tin can tied to his tail!
 Never in history hath anything hap pened like unto this
 Friday night at 10 o'clock the earth left it's beaten path, the axis ran off the cogs, the magnet whirled about with the abandon of a chicken with it's head cut off. Stars fell, comets col lided, planets shrieked.
 Barbour Thompson, the diplomat of the Southern railway, and GovernQr B. B. Conner of the state of Alabama were dreaming!
 Each sat on a seat in railroad train flying through space. The one was coming to Birmingham. The other was going to Tuscaloosa. Both leaned back upon the soft chairs, and gently from their nostrils moved the air in musical snore. It was a momentous hour.
 Go for a moment behind the curtain into the inner sanctum, and listen to the dreams which disturbed the plan of creation.
 Across the canvas of MT. Thompsons cerebellum, glides a slowly moving Southern mail, five hours late. Curses on railroads" mutters the mental nerve. they are always late and never on time. Their officials practice law less dscriminations. Who shall domi- nate the state, the people of the state or the railroads? How do Alabama's rates compare with the rates of the seven sOtes through which her roads run? In Alabama the rates are made by the railroads. The farmer is being, trodden down, the manufacturer is be- ing rebated. The railroads. are mon- sters."
 And over in the brain of the chief executive are the shifting scenes of peaceful, yet wonderful sleeping thoughts. IHow I love the railroads. They are the most peaceable, law abid- ing creatures on earth. They are the life and sinew of our grand state. They have builded her from a babe to giant. Their kind hands have stretched into every direction, and brought forth the fruit of the land. They are sacrificing themselves for Alabama. Their rates ought to be much higher and their license far low er I will ask the legislature to repeal all those bad laws"
 About an hour later sudden jolt of the frightened earth awoke the

 By Jovel' said MT. Thompson as he held his derby to the light If I haven't worn off the governors hat, I'm a Dutchman!' Yes, sure enough, punched in the crown of the derby were the letters "B. B. C." Mir. Thompson declared that he would never wear that hat again, so he arrived in Bir- mingham, and walked home bare headed.
 Messrs. Thompson, Ackert and Presi- dent Finley, it seems, had a confer ence with the governor in Montgom- cry Friday, and by a mishap the of ficials exchanged hats.
 MT. Thompson is sendingsHhe derby back by express with a note some thing like this: Dear Governor-Here- with I enclose your headgear with the deepest apologies. May it never de- part from thy head again. Amen. P. s. Please send me mine'
 But it is said that when the governor awoke, he flung the derby on the floor and stamped it into a pan cake. MT. Thompson is willing never to see 1t again, provided the governor will con- tinue his dream during waking hours.

KITCHEN BARS" CONN
Mcdonald and Dabbs Say They Have Never Seen so Much Drunk enness in the Same
 Length of Time.
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 We have put in another day in this city Investigating whether prohibition prohib- tied in this city and the effect Of prohibi- ton on the morals of this community and city. We visited a number of open bars at which we obtained whisky and where we had our photographs taken. We could have had many more bars photographed had we thought it necessary Such open defiance of the laws of this state as we saw manifested in this city today and III Bangor yesterday is appalling in the ex- treme. One can hardly realize it until he has seen it with his own eyes.
 We visited one of the many kitchen bars" of this city, where we saw an old lady and small boy engaged in the busi- ness of selling liquor We bought and sampled whisky at that place. The place was right in the heart of the business district Now such a thing as that would not be tolerated in Birmingham. We saw many people go in and out of that place while we were there
 We also visited the City Liquor Agency of this city. It is a place pro- vided by the city at which the residents of the this city only may obtain liquors by signing a statement that it is desired for medicinal, mechanical or manufactur ing purposes. The gentleman in charge told us he sold about 5000 per month. We were in that place about 10 minutes and there were more than q half dozen persons who came in in that time and secured liquors.
 We have again seen in this city today much evidence of drunkenness, the like of which we never saw in our lives for the same length of time We gave you evidence of that fact day before yester- day We have but a short time in which to catch our train for Kansas, therefore have not the time to give but few of the many detail facts pertaining to the con- dtions which actually prevail in this city. yours truly.

SEALED VERDICT
 IN WRECK CASE
CORONER'S JURY GOES INTO DE- TAILS OF PRATT CITY ACCIDENT BUT FINDING IS NOT YET MADE PUBLIC.

The coroner's jury empaneled for the in vestigation of the death of Pullman Con- ductor Julius clifford Smith, which oc- cured early Satlbday morning in Ia collision of a Louisville and Nashville freight train with the Pullman sleeping car Leeds, on the Frisco limited, at Pratt City, completed it's work yester- day. A sealed verdict was returned, hence the result is not known
 Smith was killed by being run over by the Louisville and Nashville engine. He was in some manner thrown from his car under the wheels of the locomotive and instantly killed. It is claimed that on account of the momentum of 34 heavily laden cars behind the freight engine it was impossible to stop the train, and the collision resulted. The Frisco train was headed for Birmingham and the freight for Bessemer. The two tracks come to a crossing where the collision occurred.
 The jury empaneled for the investigation made a thorough examination of the con- ditions at the scene of the accident Sat urday. and after considering the evidence of several witnesses yesterday the sealed verdict was returned. The case will go to the grand jury for further inyestiga- tiOn
