 One of the strange things of this strange spring is the killing of the leaves on the sycamore trees. All through the state these trees that now should be in their best foliage look as though they had been burnt, and many of them will no doubt die. About 50 years ago the same thing happened and there were no leaves on the trees until late in July and many of them never leaved out.

SUMMER STOCK COMPANY.
theatrical Manager May Arrange Re-
 nertoire for Montgomery.

Theatrical Manager May ArranSe fse-
 uertoire for Montgomery.
 It is considered possible Montgomery may have a season of stock plays next summer from six to ten weeks Tn the event of such an arrangement the company would be brought here and managed by A. w. Cross, mana ger for Walker Whiteside.
 It has been reliably learned that Mir. Cross intends putting in stock company at some place in the South for run during the summer season. It is also known that when MT. Cross reaches Montgomery, he will look Into the matter with the object In view ef making satisfactory arrangements for the installation of his company here. Tn such event, the best company pro- curable, presenting the most desirable plays in repertoire of diversity as well as high standard. would be the order of things.
 While 1t Is not an admitted fact, it is believed if this company should be placed In Montgomery, Walker White- side himself would appear at least for part of the time as. the star of the different productions. The present season marks his retirement from the legitimate drama and his entrance in- to the modern field.
 MT. Cross will come to Montgomery next week and will look carefully ever the lccal field. If conditions warrant, 1t is believed he will ar- range for stock company for Mont gomery.

TO DECIDE UPON REQUEST.
Trustees of HontevalIo School for GirIi
 Meet Today.

Meet Today.
 A meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Girls Industrial School at Mon tevallo is to be held at the Capitol Building at noon today, when the trus- tees will take up the question of the proper amount to ask the Legislature to appropriate for the maintenance and improvement of the school.
 At the present time, conditions at the Montevallo school are not at all what the Board desires. The building designed to house the girls, is only half completed, and many inmates of the institution are compelled to board with private families iH the town. It is necessary to teach some classes in old ramshackle wooden buildings, and in view of these conditions, the Legis- lature will probably be asked by the Board today to provide means for the completion of the building. and putting the institution on solid foundation.
 While no amount has been deter mined upon in advance of the confer ence today, it is likely that as much as $20O.000 will be asked of the legisla- tors. In order that this appropriation shall not fall in a burdensome man ner upon the State at one time, the ap- propriation will likely be divided oyer the next four years.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-01-26

The past experience of the Board has shown the appropriation of $125 per capita for the inmates of the institu- ton is insufficient for their support including all the incidental expenses of maintaining the Home. and the salaries of tie various officials and attaches But the Board feared that to ask a larger appropriation might not meet with the approval of members of the Legislature, and it was, therefore, de- cided to ask for the same amount each year for the ensuing quadrennial pe- riod, but to seek to have the Legisla- ture allow the salaries of the various officers, in addition tG the per capita allowance.
 The Home has run behind in the past in attempting to operate the ih- stitution upon the per capita allowance alone. This deficit now amounts ac- cording to the reports submitted to the board yesterday by Superintendent Simpson, to about $2.400 per annum. The total amount since the House at Mountain Creek was opened, is $5.s37.- 90
 This deficit will be referred to the Legislature, which will also be asked to provide means for the Board to make some needed Improvements in the buildings. The operating expenses for the next four years can be met, it is believed, with -ne per capita approp- riation heretofore made of $125 per in- mato per annum. if the salaries are paid outside of that allowance.
 Superintendent Simpson was desig- mated bX the board to prepare a bill to submit to the Legislature, embodying the ideas of the board, as developed in it's two-hour session, and returned to Mountain Creek yesterday afternoon to work upon the bill. He expects to re- turn to Montgomery Monday to take the matter up with the lawmakers

FALLS FROM BUGGY
MRS. SARAH conn Is HURT IN AC-
 CIDENF.
Collision With Street Car Fris htens Horse which Runs Away--Injuries PaInful. but Not Consid-
 cred Dangerous.

Mrs. Sarah Cobb, wife of B. Cobb. who is employed in the mechanical de- partment of the Montgomery Traction Company. was thrown from her buggy in a runaway few minutes after 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and sus- tained injuries which may be serious. The accident occurred at the intersec- tion of/ Dexter Avenue and Perry Street.
 Mrs. Cobb was badly bruised about the left hip, and this Is the only injury which causes apprehension She sus- tained bad cut on the left arm, which was sewed up by a physician. Mrs. Cobb also suffered an abrasion on the left cheek, and underwent severe nervous shock. About 5 o'clock, she was driven in hack to St. Margarets Hospital. where she received attention. when the accident occurred. Mrs. Cobb was accompanied in her buggy by Fred Brit, small negro buggy boy. who escaped uninjured. They were go- ing to Toole's bakery on North Perry Street, the boy said, when the buggy was struck by Riverside Park street car. The front left wheel of the buggy was torn off and the horse started into a run. Mrs. Cobb elung to the reins. but the horse continued madly up Per " Street and threw Mrs. Cobb and the boy out just after crossing the car tracks on Dexter Avenue.
 Mrs. Cobb was helped to nearby drug store, where she awaited the ar- rival of a surgeon.
 The horse, carrying the remnants of
 the buggy. continued up South Perry
 Street, and near the intersection or
 Washington Street, broke loose from the vehicle.
 A number of those who saw Mrs.
 Cobb thrown from the vehicle, insist
 that the wheel did not break loose from
 the buggy until the street car tracks
 on Dexter Avenue were crossed. The
 supposition is the impact of the street
 car sprung the axle of the buggy and
 the wheel broke loose by the jolt of
 crossing the tracks
