VERY NARROW ESCAPE.
Mr.. and Mrs. sibey Receive Injuries
Pony Cart Turns Over.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. ,Sibley and their
daughter, Hettie had a narrow escape
from serious accident yesterday after
noon while driving In their pony cart on
Highland avenue. AS it was Mrs. Sibley
sustained a scalp wound and Mr.. Sibley
was bruised severely in his right shoulder
and SIDE
The three persons were driving in a
pony cart and had turned from Highland
avenue into the road at George Whatly's
house to go to st. Vincents hospital
The pony started kicking and got one of
his hoofs caught over the singletree. In
attempting to get loose he turned the cart
over and it rolled down a twenty foot
embankment. Miss Sibey had jumped
from the rear seat, but Mr.. and Mrs. Sib-
ley were carried down the embankment
with the cart.
Several persons ran to the rescue, and
Mrs Sibley was carried to St. Vincent's
hospital in a buggy, where she received
medical attention. Later she was carried
home, and last night it was reported that
she was resting well. The pony was not
seriously hurt and there was little DAM

NEW SALOON LAW
QUICKLY BROKEN
FIRST VIOLATOR CAUGHT WITH
IN FIFTEEN MINUTES OF LAW
GOING INTO EFFECT-HUGH
oDUM's PORTER CAPTURED.

The first violations of the new saloon or
dinance was arrested yesterday morning
within fifteen minutes of its going into
effect John L. White and an assistant
negro porter were found in the saloon
of Hugh Odum on the corner of First
avenue and Eighteenth street.
As will be remembered the new ordl-
nance provides that no one shall be in q
saloon between IL o'clock Saturday night
and o'clock Monday morning without a
permit from the Mayor. AS these men
were found in the place at 1915 they are
charged with breaking the law, and have
made themselves liable to fines.
Whether the letter of the law will be
enforced, or they will be let down light
on account of the newness of the law
will develop in the police court today.
Policeman Williamson, the officer who
made the arrest, will be on hand to tes-
tify.
Although the special officers kept an
open eye for yiolators no others were
discovered. In all of the saloons the
screens were pulled back, and full view
of the bar could be had.
This morning. instead of opening their
doors at II o'clock midnight, and selling
liquor until 1916 as had been the case
under the old law, the saloons were tight
ly closed straight through the night. The
law is having the desired effect on the
saloon people. as it makes it almost i'm
possible to escape conviction.
1t is a question whether the Mayor will.
under the new law, continue to revoke
the licenses of the breakers, as on pre-
vious occasions, will develop in the next
few days. Proprietors will find 1t safe.

railroad commission and attorney general
from making these laws effective.
Kept Quiet.
The railroads have kept the matter of
their determination to fight the new laws
quiet, and the announcement Of their
proposed action comes as greater sur
prise for that reason. There have been
rumors current recently that they would
fight the laws and counteracting rumors
that they would not.
The determination to enjoin the COM
mission from putting the laws into force
was made some time ago at conferences
held in Atlanta, Washington and other
places among the legal representatives Of
the various roads.
Large forces of clerks have been busy
in the general Offices of several of the
railroads, it Is said, preparing the most
complete sets of figures showing earnings.
experiences and other data that was ever
used in a legal battle in this state. and
the experts are also preparing figures
showing what would be the effects If tho
new laws were to become operative.
portion of these figures viii be used
In the petition for the injunction. and
when the hearing - given before Judge
Jones the railroads will present the re-
mainder OF their figures. 1t Is claimed
in railroad circles that on account Of the
conditions existing now-high wages, max
imum cost for material and other In
creased expenses-the railroads Will be
able TO make out an unusually strong
case.
The petition is only for temporary
Injunction and the railroads will seek TO
make the injunction permanent when the
hearing is given before Judge Jones.

ARE ABOUT TO MAKE
TEST RECENTLY ENACTED LAWS|
ACTION OF RAILROADS
BRINGS OUT IMPORTANT
TEST OF ANOTHER LA w

The filing of the petition for temporary
injunctions to restrain the railroad conf
mission and attorney general of the state
from making the new laws effective will
serve as a test for another Of the laws
passed by the legislature
There is an act that provides that any
foreign corporation which files a suit or
institutes legal proceedings in a federal
court or seeks to remove any legal pro-
ceedings from the state court to the fed
eral court, forfeits it's charter and can
not do business In the state of Alabama.
The railroads will ask for lnjunctions in
the United States court. This may bring
on some interesting results:
According to the law, foreign corpora
tions, and several of the railroads are
foreign corporations, can not operate in
Alabama and retain their charters IL they
sue in the federal court. This, accord

ing to many lawyers would prevent these
railroads from handling an intrastate
business, passenger or freight; but the
state could not interfere with the inter-
state traffic handled on these roads, even
though it originated or terminated inside
the state of Alabama 1t would only pre-
vent business that both originated and
terminated In Alabama.
1t is held by many attorneys that the
state could not conhscate the property,
and therefore the people living along
these railroads in the state of Alabama
would not be able TO travel or ship or
express goods of any kind.
This is considered one of the most in
teresting points of the legal fight which
has just commenced, and it may be that
the railroads will seek an injunction to
prevent this law being put into effect by
the Alabama commission.

HOMEWARD RUSH
OF FOREIGNERS
FROM THIS COUNTRY WAS NEVER
so GREAT AS NOW.
THOUSANDS ARE LEAVING.
The Demand for Steeraae Accomoda.
tions Has Been So Large that
Bookings are Closed Weeks
in Advance.

New York. Nov. 23.-Serious freight
congestion threatens all foreign ship
pers because of the unprecedented
hOmeward rush of foreigners. The
eastward bound steerage travel during
the past six weeks has been unparal.
leled and the demand for accommoda.
tions has been so great that bookings
have been closed weeks in advance of
sailings. The Main, of the North Ger.
man Lloyd line, which sailed on
Thursday, carried 2,465 steerage pas
sengers, and even up to the minute
OF sailing there We're hundreds of per.
sons waiting on the piers for accom-.
modations.
Bookings for steerage on the Seyd.
litz, of the same line. which is to sail
Wednesday next, have been closed for
several days and no more steerage
tickets are being sold for the Koenig
Albert, which will sail November 80
for Mediterranean ports.
European freight at this time of
year is very heavy and, with the enor-
nous increase in steerage travel,
many lines are finding II difficult to
handle. European shipments now con-
sist largely OF apples, OF which 16S, 40
barrels nave been exported so far this
year. The Main carried $500 barrels
and 2,200 boxes of apples.
These apple shipments will likely
continue until after the holidays, and
as II Is perishable freight the steam
ship companies try to handle it even
to the exclusion of other business.
Other European shipments consist
largely of cotton, grain, provisions,
dried fruits, tobacco and oil.
The eastward bound steerage or
third class travel from January | TO
November 10, 1907, is already 10000
in excess Of what IL was for the same
period of 1906. The second class
eastward bound travel is $4,000 iR ex-
cess of what It was last year, and both
the second and third class figures will
be largely augmented during the next
few weeks.
