Alderman Heidt Objects To Com-
 mittee Appointments and : May Side With Ward
IT IS NOW UNDERSTOOD
 PARKER WILL STAND PAT
Burnett Will Remain at Head of Mis-. cellancous Committee and O'NeiIl Will Keep Place at Head
 of Finance.

President John l.. Parker and num- Der of his friends on the Board of AL dermen will leave for Montgomery this morning to take up their fight before the legislature.
 Alderman C. C. Heidt is one of the few who will remain. When seen yes terday afternoon he said:
 There are number of strong men on the Board of Aldermen who are not in position on the committees to give the city the aid of their valuable services and business qualifications.
 "I think the committees as we have them now should all be reorganized, regardless of faction.
 "If this cannot be done under the new code it would be very much better to go back to the old system"
 These words come from a member who has always stood for Mr. Parker as chairman of the council, but has always been opposed to the committee appoint ments on account of their being too fac tional.
 The city's finances are now said to be in the hands of Aldermen Burnett and
 
 and finance committees. and as both of these aldermen are in the same faction, as we'll as not in harmony with the Mayor, who has done so much for Br- mingham's finances, there is a great deal of objection to their positions.
 Alderman Burnett, as chairman of the miscellaneous committee, has the inti- al in all he nd commodity licenses for next year At that time much will have to be made up to tide over the shortages caused by prohibition.
 It is known that a number of MT. Par ker's friends went to him yesterday and attempted to persuade him to agree tb change his committees. However, 1t is understood that they had no success, and that, should MT. Parker be sustained appointed them.
 The change indicated by the words of Alderman Heidt will tie the aldermen nine and nine leaving the deciding vote with the chairman. It Is for the legisla- ture to decide whether they will take a hand in the matter. and if so whether the Mayor or Mr. Parker shall preside. The factions will line up like this:
 Parker Faction = Burnett. GrecneT, ONeill, Klotz, Gum, Fulghum, Gregg, Stockmar and Hogan.
 Ward Faction-Egglesto Copeland D. R., Copeland. J. R., Walter Moore. B. II. Cooper, Forney. Heidt, Jones and Estes. It is a warm fight at the legislature, and the result is watched with great interest by the people at home.

TAKE FARE MATTER
 TO COMMISSION
COMMITTEE WILL GO TO MONT GOMERY TODAY TO LAY FIVE CENT FARE QUESTION BEFORE THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

As a result of the meeting held at the city hall last night by the Ensey 5-cent fare joint committee a subcommittee was appointed to go to Montgomery at 1 o'clock this afternoon to present the mat ter to the railroad commission A letter was also written to President A. H. Ford of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company in reply to his letter of the 9th, stating the refusal of his conn pany to give the 5-cent fare.
 The committee appointed to go to Mont- gomery Is composed of E. J. Hudnall, Pratt City; J. E. Nolan, Wylam; P. 5. Patton, Ensey. T. II. Motion. Birming- ham; J. E. Lacey, Pratt City; John W. O'Nein E. w Avery and W. M Dren- nen, Birmingham, and Dr. George W. Brown, Pratt City.
 The meeting was well attended, a num- Der of citizens In addition to the mem- bers of the committee being present from Ensley, Pratt City and Wylam MT. Fords letter of the 9th, addressed to Messrs. J. D. Shelby and w M. Dren nen, was read, and the committee in- structed that q letter prepared by Messrs.
 
 The letter presents as number of argu- ments as to why the company should grant the rate, some of them being:
 Tn regard to your taxes having been raised, the taxes of the citizens who make this request have also been raised. and 1t Is safe to say they pay taxes on their property in proportion to yours. This Is no reason why the rate should not he put into effect.
 You state you are furnishing splendid system of street railway, the inference being that the people are under oblisa- ton to pay the additional rate you charge for thls reason. You seem to overlook the fact that these municipalities gave your company franchises worth millions of dollars, and which have been actually used by your company as q basis for the issuance of millions of stocks and bonds Of your company.
 You state the 5-cent rate to East Lake was by virtue of a contract with d land company. Is it fair to give a lower rate to one section of Greater. Birmingham Ethan to another? Have not Ensley and Pratt City a much larger population than Woodawn and East Lake? Do you not admit that the business was so great that the single track could not accommodate it and you found it necessary to build Q new line with double track passing by the way of the fair grounds?
 You say you will grant the scent rate when the intermediate travel amounts to 60 or 70 per cent of the total travel Is it not more than probable that Ensley and Pratt City will increase in greater proportion than the intermediate popuis- tion?
 "We would be obliged If you would fur nsh the committee with the number of passengers hauled on the Ensley lines from November l. 1906, to November l, 1907, alfd the number of passengers on the East Lake line from November 1, 1906. 10 November 1. 1907; also on the Gate City line between these dates"
 The committee was instructed to employ attorneys if necessary, and each town pledged itself pro rata to the bearing of the expenses necessary to get the mat ter before the commission.

HOUSE IN FLAMES
 WHEN DISCOVERED
Engineer BIakeIey and Family Have Narrow Escape From Death
 At Their Home.

Engineer Blakely of the Frisco railroad and his family had a narrow escape last night when they came very near being burned up in their house. They awoke to find the whole building in flames. MT. Bakely rushed out with his wife and called a neighbor, who assisted him in bringing out the children just in time to save them.
 The fire started in his cottage oil Twenty sixth street, between Tenth and Eleventh avenues, The flames had gained such headway when discovered that there was no way to determine how they began. The department was called toe late to put 1t out
 The residence of Mrs. McNatt on the north side and Mir. Dubose on the south were both damaged The loss will amount to about 5000.
 Officer Jones prevented what might have been disastrous fire last night. He found two mops on fire at the head of flight of stairs on South Twentieth street, and arrived just in time to put them out,

PROBEOWNERSHIPOF OF
 CENTRAL OF GEORGIA
c ADMISSIONS OF ALABAMA AND GEORGIA WANT TO KNOW
 WHETHER HARTMAN INTER. ESTS ARE REALLY IN CONTROL.

In railroad circles, a topic of great in- terest is concerning the ownership of the Central of Georgia railroad.
 While it is generally considered that Oakleigh Thorne's reputeds sale of the road to the Illinois Central was bona fide, however, as no positive statement to that effect has been made, the matter is still in controversy.
 Discussion as to the ownership of the road was revived on account of the pres ence in the state of Major J. F. Hanson. it's president When last in Birmingham. President Hanson declined to discuss the matter.
 Discussion of this matter was rendered additionally interesting when, yesterday afternoon, it was reported that the Ala baina railroad commission was preparing to inquire into the ownership of the Cen sale of the road. 1t was generally be- lieved and was published that it's chief owner was MT. Thorne. Yesterday morn- ing. however, the theory was advanced that Mir Thorne was never the owner of the road, but that E. H. Hartman and his interests have held ownership through Thorne.
 According to this information, Harri- man purchased the road. through Thorne. and withheld the ownership until his prin- cipai line, the Illinois Central, was pre- pared to enter Birmingham.
 Whether this matter of finding out the real owners of the road was touched upon in any fashion at the recent meeting of the governors of Alabama. Georgia and South Carolina, or whether it was con- sidered by w. D. Nesbitt, associate raii- road commissioner of Alabama. and mem bers of the Georgia commission, at the same time, is unknown, but 1t is known that the rumored preparation of the Ala bama commission to discover the owner shin of the road. was based on similar action already taken by the Georgia com mission. It was learned authorltatlvely yesterday that the Georgia commission has written letters to Major Hanson of the Central of Georgia and President W. W. Finley Of the Southern. the object be- ing to learn who owns the Central of Georgia The Georgia commission has requested an answer by November l5.
 Among railroad men in Birmingham the hope Is general that the reported sale of the road to Hartman is true. It will give the Illinois Central an outlet to the At lantic and give him connection with the ocean from Chica go. It is generally be- lieved that Hartman will improve the Central of Georgia, and wonderfully de- velop it's interests and its rich territory through Georgia and Alabama.

Onward to Birmingham. The Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad will run passenger trains into Taladega this week.
 As is remembered Nnen President At knson of that road was in Birmingham several weeks ago he made the state ment that his road would enter TaladeSa in November. This statement will be verified this week.

Asked concerning the entry of passenger trains into Talladega this week he made the following statement: The Atlanta. Birmingham ~and Atlantic will run it's first passenger trains into Talladega this week. The people of the city will well come the first train with enthusiasm. A programme is being arranged 1 under stand that after the entry Of the first train the road will run into the city on d regular schedule.

 According to the statement of Pres ident Atkinson when he was last in Birmingham, the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic will enter this city in June, next year The coming of this road to Birmingham will give the Magic. City another outlet 10 the sea. From Taila- dega work towards Birmingham will be consistently pushed. Around Birmng- ham the Atlanta, Birmingham and At lantic is continuing aggressive work in preparation for the roads coming.

reared. and guided by the light or expe- rience. which teaches us that these three periods are the times when the character is sprung and perpetuated, no thinking man can conceive of a greater error than that of burdening the state and -onnty with such a provision spread upon the statute books, so lenient in its every re- spect.
 "One must think Of the great effort that has been made in Jefferson county to break up the gangs who have plfered upon copper wire, brass journals, scrap iron. etc, to the great profit of the dIs- honest junk dealer who, feels TO hes;- tancy in employing, aiding and abetting this juvenile school.

Local Skaters Give Exhibitions.

Miss Corrie Scott and W. W. Roberts, styled the champion amateur skaters oi the south. gave fancy skating perform ance at the Hippodrome last night that was equal in many ways to any that have ever been seen in Birmingham by any or the well known professionals who have visited Birmingham from time to time. Some of the feats of Miss Scott and MT. Poberts were in a class by themselves and deserve to be ranked with anything in fancy skating ever seen in Birming- ham. Among other stunts MT. Roberts jumped five chairs set in row, stunt that aroused long and continued applause. These two well known local skaters VIII be at the Hippodrome every night this week.

The merchants of Birmingham did two of the largest days business Saturday and Monday that they have had in their history, and all of them are very cheer full over the business outlook Collections are good. and cash sales are exception ally large Nearly all of them report that business for the last month was much greater than for the same time last year and they are very optimistic
 No class of business men are more competent to judge of just how matters stand than the retail merchants, for if there happens to be any money strngency they are the first ones it strikes. So far no one here has felt the effects of any shortage in cash and no one antici- pates it.
 A number of the largest merchants were questioned last night as to how business was progressing with them and especial ly as to how it had been Saturday and Monday. The following will tell just how matters are:
 J. Blach & Sons.
 J. Blach & Sons sell for cash only and the following interview with Max Blach of that firm gives assurance that plenty of money is being put into circulation Said MT. Blach:
 Our Saturday and Monday business was one of the best runs we have had. Of course, Saturday is always a busy day, but last Saturday was d buster one than usual and Monday was a splendid far ahead of last year and we are not afraid of anything happening"
 Louis Saks.
 Louis Saks was asked how it was with his store and said:
 Our business has been exceptionally good here lately, and Saturday and Mon day gave us just about all we could handle. Monday was a very busy day, even more so than usual, and while Sat urday is our busy day, last Saturday was one of the very best we have ever had. We haven't noticed any hard times and don't believe they are coming" N
 Louis Pizitz.
 Louis Pizitz can't see how business has been affected and sees nothing but bright skies.
 Saturday and Monday were two of our real, sure enough busy days. In fact. business has been exceedingly good with us lately and l am firmly convinced it will continue this way. Our business for October was several thousand dollars more than for the same month last year. Whats that? Hard times Don't know what you are talking about. Haven't heard of any such thing and am not afraid of a bugbear like that. We are too busy attending to business to even have time to think of them, and haven't the slight est fear of hard times striking this town
 Drennen & Go.
 Drennen & Co. found Saturday and Monday good days and Hubert Drennen was feeling happy over it last night.
 Yes. said MT. Drennen, today was a hummer with Us and Saturday was a steady rush. Our business for the last few weeks has been even better than we hoped for and our collections here have been splendid during the last few days. Business is much better this year than last and if there is such a thing as hard times we haven't heard of it. Don't see

IN THE RAILROAD WORLD

Vice President l.. Seiver and General Superintendent HiY of the Seaboard Air Line. who spent Sunday in Birmingham. left yesterday morning for Montgomery, where 1t is understood that they had business before the Alabama railroad commission
 From Birmingham many railroad men went to Montgomery yesterday to attend the meeting of the railroad commission. To come before the commission the much discussed switching charges were scheduled.
 The Louisville and Nashville passenger trains are now entering the Louisville and Nashville station diagonally from the Louisville and Nashville freight house. This renders 1t unnecessary for the trains to back into the shed. as heretofore. The successful laying of the new tracks was neat feat of engineering. The former track will be used as a sidetrack to freight cars laden with perlshables.
