It was re- ported that this agreement had just been issued; that the company set out that all men must be individually re- sponsible for accidents caused by their own negligence. etc, and that the men AS body would refuse or had refused to sign 1t. The meeting appointed . grievance committee to call upon Su- perintendent Ross. 1t is said. General Manager Wilson is out of the city.
 Superintendent Ross was seen today and said that nothing sudden and alarming" had been sprung on the men. This agreement" he said, has been in vogue since I have been with the company, four months, and probably since 1906, and Is used by most all street caH companies. It is not cir cular at/all. but merely an individual agreement between the company ana its men. The men have been signing 1t right along, and if any men have re- fused to sign it don't know of 1t as yet. I do not expect any trouble at all."
 One of the men was seen today and he said he had merely heard of the meeting, and the trouble.-
 The news of the meeting spread over town early yesterday, and when all the cars. stopped on the street at 7:2o o'clock due to some trouble at the pow CT house, 1t was thought that a walk out had occurred It was gratifying that such a thing did not occur. how ever.

WOMAN SENTENCED
THREE MONTHS FOR CARRYING
 CONCEALED WEAPON.
Was Companion of Fred Diebel, Who Attempted to Flim-Flam Merchants Bank Out of Almost
 GI .O00.

Mobile. Sept 7-(Special. )--Alioe Flair. the woman, who. with Fred Die bel. Jr.. of New Orleans, attempted to fiim-fiam the Merchants Bank out of almost s1,000, few weeks ago, was this morning sentenced by Judge AL ford to serve three months in the coun- ty jail on the charge of carrying con- cealed weapons.
 The woman. 1t will be remembered. was found in company with young Die- bel attempting to leave the city shortly after Diebel had succeeded In getting $l,200 on a worthless check which was cashed by the Merchants Bank with whom Dtebel had a small account. Ac- cording to the testimony of the two bank officials who arrested the couple. the woman carried her suit case from the train a portion of the way to Gov ernment Street. when she was relieved of her burden by one of the bank em- ployes. When the woman arrived at police headquarters and her suit case was searched. a loaded revolver was found in the grip, and this is the charge she was sentenced on today
 The defense put up by the Flair woman. both in the Recorders Court and in the Inferior Criminal Court, was that she had no knowledge of the pres- ence of the pistol in the grip, Diebel having put the revolver there while she was out of the room, In this she was borne out by Diebel. who swore that he placed the pistol in the grip without the woman's knowledge.
 The jail sentence will mean practice ally nothing to the Flair woman as the time will probably be expired before her trial on the charges of forgery and obtainig money by false pretenses comes off,

DEMANDS THE BOOKS
SOUTHERN RAILWAY RATE HEAR
 ING TAKES ANOTHER TURN.
Judge Decides That Speaker Justice Can See Books But They Were Not Open for Public
 Inspection.

Washington, Sept. 7.-Speaker Jus tice of the North Carolina House of Representatives, leading counsel for the State of North Corolina in the Southern Railway rate hearing case, today before Judge Montgomery. the Master in Chancery, demanded that the Southern Railway Company's books be produced in order that certain points along which Comptroller Plant lad testified might be verified by an ex- pert accountant in the presence of MT. Justice. MT. Plant and Judge Mont gomery. Mir. Justice stated that his object in securing the books was to show that the Southern Railway Com pany by 6 subterfuge was conceaiing the amount of salaries paid to the of- ficers of the company.
 MT. Plant declared that he would allow no accountant to go into bis of- flee and make a drag-net investigation of his books.
 Judge Montgomery ruled that coun- sel for North Carolina could see any entries made on MT. Plants books yer filed in the presence of the master ana MT. Plant himself, but that the books could not be opened for public in- spection These developments were brought about as the result of a ques- tion MT. Justice put to Mir. Plant as to whether the officers of the south ern Railway Company and of some of the lines in which the Southern owns stock, were receiving salaries from such lines. Mr. Plant testified that on the Mobile and Ohio. the capital stock of which Is owned by the Southern Railway and whose principal officers are Southern Railways officials some Southern oflcials did receive salaries but a number of other lines in which the Southern was interested and whose officials also were officials of these lines, they did not receive any salaries from other roads.
