CHILDRENS' CHORUS
 IN MUSIC FESTIVAL
400 In All Dressed in Pretty Costumes Will Sing in Atlanta Festival.
 Metropolitan Stars.

Atlanta, April 19.-Perhaps the largest children's chorus ever seen on any stage will be that which will sing at the May June music festival in this city on May 29, 30 31 and June 1. The children-40G in all-will be under the leadership of Prof. B. c. Davis, musical director of the Atlanta public schools. They will be dressed in pretty costumes and will make one of the most attractive features of the festival.
 Rehearsals are going on with the chorus of 200 selected voices, many of which will come from out of town. The orchestra rehearsals will commence when the twenty-six musicians selected in Cincin- nati-in addition to as many more from Atlanta-arrive. Madame Schuman- -Heink, Miss Bessie Abbott and Campanari, all of the Metropolitan opera house, are re- ported in fine voice for the festival
 Judging by the sales of season tickets, which opened this week, popular prices have made hit. It is believed that prices of S. $4 and 8 for four performan- ces of high-class music will prove profit able. A prospectus and souvenirs will be mailed anyone who writes Dr. J. Lewis Browne at 519 Empire building.

 Special Articles Written
 On Birmingham.
RETURN FROM HARTSELLE

Among the conventions coming to Bir- mlngham next month perhaps one of the most importance will be the Presby- terian general assembly in its forty-sixth annual session. C. w. Mills, chairman of the reception and arrangement com mittee, said last night that he and his assistants intend to make this the banner session, and to eclipse all other entertain ment the body has ever received.
 MT. Mills will also take advantage of the opportunity to advertise Birmingham as much as possible. He not only intends to send the commissioners back to their homes with a good opinion of the size and hospitality of the town, but to spread circulars all over the south, both before and after the meeting.
 He will get in touch with the Com mercial club, and in all communications enclose a few facts about the Magic City.
 The Presbyteries will continue to meet until the last of this month. at which time MT. Mills will know the names and addresses of all whom he will have to entertain. There will be about 225 com missioners and nearly hundred visitors.
 The home committee has been circulat- ing around the Presbyterian residences all this week, and pledges for homes will all be In before another week. This will allow the committee sufficient time to tell the visitors before they leave home where they are to be entertained.
 The Christian Observer, the largest in point of circulation of the denominations papers, will immediately begin a series of editions on Birmingham and her ad- vantages, in connection with announce ments concerning the assembly,
 All the local ministers returned yester- day from Hartselle, where the meeting of the North Alabama Presbytery was con- eluded. James A. Going, a ruling elder, was the only Birmingham man elected to the assembly.

WANT CHEAPER RATE ID SOUTHERN POINTS Chicago Commercial Assn Ap- peaIS to Interstate Commission EASTERN, SOUTHERN ROADS Rates Were Declared Unfair. In 1893, and United States Supreme Court
 Reversed the Decision-To
 Be Fought Over.
EASTERN, SOUTHERN ROADS

Chicago, April 19.-Proceedings are to be commenced before the interstate com merce commission by the Chicago Com- | mercial association for a readjustment of shipping rates to southern points, and to stop alleged discrimination against Chicago shippers by eastern and southern railroads
 The present southern rate schedule was adopted by the southern railroads in 1S7S Shippers from New York points were given a lower rate to southern points than shippers from Chicago, notwith- standing the haul from Chicago was far less than from New York points. On this contention the Commercial association has decided to make demands for read justment.
 In 1893 Chicago and Cincinnati com mercial interests joined in a fight for readjustment of the rates, taking the question before the interstate commerce commission. That body in 1894 declared the rates unfair and fixed q lower rate. The case was appealed to the United States supreme court, where It was re- versed, the court holding that the com mission had no authority to fix rates Since then the commercial interests of the middle west have waged common war against the schedule, endeavoring to have the interstate commerce commission, clothed with power to fix rates and remedy unfair schedules. In the Hepburn bill it Is believed by the Chicago Commer- cial association this power has been con ferred.
 At 0 meeting of the executive commit tee of the Chicago Commercial association here today, M. H. Smith, president of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company, and w. w. Finley, president of the Southern railway, the two railroads practically controlling the southern points. notified the association that no change in the schedule would be granted;
 Members of the Chicago Commercial as- sociation declared tonight that they would be joined in the movement for readjust- ment by commercial interests of Cincin- natl, St. Louis and other middle western cities.

BANK WRECKERS
 ADJUDGED GUILTY
FORMER PRESIDENT AND CASH TER OF THE DEFUNCT BANK OF AMERICA SENTENCED-cREEL- MAN FOUND NOT GUILTY.

Chicago, April 19.-Former Judge Abner Smith, president of the defunct Bank of America; Gustave F. Sorrow, its cash fer, and John V. Pierce. its vice pres ident, were adjudged guilty by a jury tonight of conspiracy to wreck the bank. r. H. Creelman. formerly a millionaire lumber merchant a stockholder in the bank and one of its promoters, was found not guilty. Pierce, because of testimony given on the stand by him. was merely fined Smith and Sorrow, the jury de- cided, should be sent to the penltentiary and fined.
 Two verdicts were returned by the jury owing to a mistake. The first verdict amount of the fines.
 According to law the men must be sen tenced under the indeterminable law so the jurors were sent back to bring in a proper verdict. Two hours later the sec ond verdict was returned without fixing the term of Imprisonment in any of the cases.
 The Bank of America was opened De- cember 1, 1905. and receiver was ap- pointed six weeks later. The promoting of the institution was marked by what the state characterized as high finance
 During the trial witnesses testified that the charter for the bank was secured through frauds it being claimed that the promoters ''kited' checks for the alleged purpose of making it appear that they had sufficient funds to secure the char ter. The closing of the bank followed the failure of lumber company in which Creelman was heavily interested. An in- vestigation of the banks affairs at the time disclosed much worthless collateral which it was alleged had been put ur in payment for bank stock.
 President Smith was for many years a judge in Cook county circuit court During the trial effort was made to show that he was a victim of circum- stances, and had been imposed upon by other officials of the bank.
