LOCAL MEN ON CARS
NEW EMPLOYEES BEING TAUGHT TO
OPERATE THEM
Only Nineteen Outsiders Said To sim
BE with Traction Company, En-
tireIy New Motormen and Con-
ductOrs Being Ina Charge.

The Montgomery Traction Company
has been trying the experiment of US
ing local men to operate their cars and
the plan has met with so much success
that by far the greater number of the
cars on all the lines are now in charge
of local men.
= Former employees of the conn any have
not been taken back to work, but new
men, who make their homes in Mont
gomery, and who were born and reared
either here or near here, were taught
to operate the cars and as rapidly as
they became proficient, were placed in
charge at the regular wage scale. 1t Is
claimed there are only nineteen foreign
conductors and motormen now at work
on the cars.
F. G. Curry, who has been particu-
larly active ever since the beginning
of the strike, and who was brought
here by the Traction Company to pro-
tect the interests of the company has
left for his home at Memphis. Nearly

conducto tors who came here at the begin
ming of the trouble. nave returned to

ELECllUlN In StLMA
NOMINEES ARE RATIFIED, LITTLE
INTEREST SHOWN.


Selma, May Especial 1.-The gener-
al election for city officers passed off
quietly heer today. No interest was
taken in the election. and the vote poll
ed Is probably the smallest in the his
tory of elections in Selma. The aggre-
gate vote cast in the five wards of the
ci1y was 200 and all of the nominees of
the recent primary were elected.
The city of Selma became actual
owners of the plant Of the Selma Water
company this eve..ing at o'clock. At
that hour the deeds and papers of
transfer were signed and turned over
to the city, the city at the same time
paying to p. I. White. as agent of the
Selma Water Company $165,OO0, and
giving two notes for $4,000 each. The
maj rtty OF the s165.000 which was paid
to Mr.. White this afternoon, was cur
rency of big denominations, though a
good part of it was paid in Chicago
exchange.
Mayor ". B. Atkins and City Treas
urer r. l. Shelley, returned to Selma
last night from Chicago, where they
disposed of the bonds issued for the
purpose of purchasing the plant The
arrangements for the transfer of the
holdings of the water company were
made today and at 6 o'clock at the Sell
ma National Bank. these papers were
signed and the money Exchanged.
The race matinee which was to have
been held tomorrow afternoon at tho
Selma Driving Park, was this after
noon postponed until Wednesday. This
action was caused by the heavy rains
of Sunday and today, which left the
tras' in bad condition.

asked the City Council to hang cleo
trio incandescents of minor power
along South Court street even so far as
Church street, a petition that was re-
ferred to the Committee on Lights. The
company did not aver that the lights
were for an aesthetic purpose and were
not to be a silvery tangle for the de-
light OF lovers of light. which Is an
accidental and therefore venial pun.
and. not a deliberate offense by The
Punning Person. The petitioner re-
spectfully represented that the lights
would make 1t easier for pedestrians
to walk upon the streets, would rem
der the protection of life and property
upon the street more certain and would
result in other practicable benefits
But The Polysyllabic Person will
doubtless have many sympathizers in
his desire for the enhancement of the
nocturnal adornment of Dexter ave-
nue. by artificial illuminations, for
there are many, many simple folk and
kind who dearly love a silvery tangle
even when It isn't stars but Just lamps
hung on wires between stores with
noisy electric cars running beneath
them.

location of the college had been dis
posed of. the Board devoted its atten-
ton to the discussion of the new club
rooms on Court Square, The commit
tee reported that their work was pro-
crossing as rapidly as possible and
that the Commercial Club would in all
probability be in its new home In about
two weeks. The Board decided to

strike of Mnchinlsta.

Pittsburg. Pa, May 6-The strike of
machinists in the Pittsburg district Is
becoming serious, For the first time
since the establishment of the Penn
sylvania State constabul~ry. the pro-
lection of that organization has been
invoked in Allegheny County. Eight
troopers arrived here today and are
stationed at the Mestan Machine Works
at West Homestead. The borough po-
lice and fifty deputy sneriffs are also
on duty at the plant.
Previous to today. violence and ugly
feeling has been INDUCED in at numer-
Gus times by the strikers, but late to-
day affairs became serious when the
strikers and police clashed at the plant
of Frank Kneeland Machine Company
at Fifty-fourth Street. Several man
were arrested, a number wero beaten
by the police and two of the officers
were slightly injured by stones thrown
from a crowd of union men who sur
rounded the plant a short time before
the close for the day.

STRIKE IS GROWING
LINES LONG,
sHOREMEN QUIT.
Five Thousand Dissatisfied Workmen
Join Demand OF New York Dock
Hands For Large Increases
In Waxes.

New York. May 6.--The strike of
longshoremen which has been in pro-
gress for more than a week, affecting
not only the coastwise steamers but
several transatlantic lines, took an
extremely serious turn today when the
men employed by FIVE Of the large
trans Atlantic lines Joined the move
ment. The men who Joined the ranks
of the strikers number between four
and five thousand and their action may
result in serious delay in the movement
of some of the biggest transatlantic
passenger and mail steamships.
The men who Joined the movement
today were those of the North German
Lloyd Line. the Scandinavian American,
the Hamburg American, the Holland
American and the Phoenix lines. Some
of the Hamburg American men con-
sented to resume their places temper
arily but with the understanding that
unless their demands are granted before
tomorrow they will at that time Join
the strike movement in a body
Up to this latest development, more
than 5000 men were on strike from
the American and Red Star lines and
from the various docks in Brooklyn.
Tramp steamships from various parts
of the world are chiefly affected in
Brooklyn. There have been no serious
disorders.
The movement Is uniformly in sup
port of demand for an increase in
wages to forty cents an hour regular
ly. sixty cents for overtime and eighty
cents for holiday work. This Is prac-
tically an advance of thirty-three and
third per cent over the wages now
paid by the steamship companies.

BELL DEFENDS SELF
CHIEF OFF STAFF DENIES CUBAN
PROPAGANDA.
Asserts washington Board Had 20 Con
structive Part I'm Scheme To In
crease Cuba's Standing
Army

Washington, May 6-First the propo-
sition to greatly increase the rural
guard of Cuba and then, when that was
abandoned, the projected creation of
standing army for the Island, have been
credited to the army general staff. and
as these measures have served to excite
much opposition in this country and
Cuba, the staff has been subjected to
criticism. General Bell. Chief of Staff,
today in speaking of the matter, said:
"A misapprehension, more or less
widespread, has arisen concerning the
connection OF the general stan with
propositions relating to the incident
of the rural guard of Cuba ana the
later proposition that instead of IN
creasing the rural guard, an addition or
some regiments of infantry and artll-
Iery be made to the rural guard Whlcn
already exists. After the outbreak OF
the recent opposition to the governments
in Cuba, a Cuban Congress passed ar
act for the increase OF the rural guaro
to 10000 men. and of the artillery 10
900. A lot of volunteers were hastily
called together about the same time,
but on the arrival of the American
forces. steps were Immediately taken
to muster them out of the service ana
pay them off.
mo steps had been taken to execute
,Ae law passed by the Cuban Congress
mentioned above, ana secretary Idlt.
being of the opinion that Cuba should
have a SUFFICIENT force to enable its gov
eminent to maintain itself directed that
steps be taken with view to carry
ing out the will of the cuban Congress
as expressed in the said act.
The provisional government, there
fore, called upon General Rodriguez.
the commander Of the Cuban forces, for
a plan OF organization of the proposed
force.
Having received the plan and desir-
ing an opinion on IL. he sent 1t to me
with a letter requesting that 1 have
some of the general staff go over the
plan. This was done in conference with
Rodriguez and his assistant
Ma tor Slocum of the United States
Army, and the revised plan submitted
to the provisional governor. The gem
eral staff did not originate the prop
osition or do anything else than that
which 1t was requested to do"

Council Says the Fountain
Is to Remain on Court Square

The City Council last night killed
any aspiration that might have existed
for blotting out the big fountain on
Court Square ana at the same time did
something very unusual, by turning
down a committee report which fav-
ored such a project.
To Alderman Foster belongs the dis
tinction of creating the idea for the
removal of the fountain and supplant
ing it with a city building. For an
Investigation of this by the joint COM
mittee of finance, streets and public
works. he introduced resolution at a
former meeting
