Though assisted by notes, on which the

GAR REPORT SHOWS
 WORK BEING DONE
CARS HANDLED DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH SHOW GAIN OF 1o,5s6 OVER SAME MONTH LAST YEAR.

The conditions that existed on the rail- roads during the month of March are probably better Illustrated from the showing made by the Alabama Car Ser vice association than in any other way, The number. of cars handled last month was an increase of 10,5S6 over the number handled in March, 1906 an increase of about 16 per cent.
 1t will be remembered that the roads handled an immense amount of iron dur ing March, said to be the record in iron hauled since January, 1902. The yards of the various iron companies were prae- tieally cleaned by the roads during March, although on the first of March there wasA probably 100000 tons of iron on the yards. During March the Louisville and Nashville, Central of Georgia and the Seaboards all ,increased the amount of iron they handled.
 So far in April the railroads have shown much improvement over the conditions in March, and it is anticipated that the number of cars handled this month will exceed the number handled last month All the roads in this district are in bet ter shape than they have been for a year or two. This is especially true of the Southern railway, which has made much progress In the past thirty days in cleaning up the local yards, getting bad order cars out of the dltches, repairing them and starting on the road again, and in handling the freight offered
 The Louisville and Nashville has been moving freight in better shape recently than It has done in a long tlme The conditions have been favorable to heavy movements on Saturday night and Sun day, which cleaned the yards once a week, and the freight that accumulated during the week was less in proportion than in the past The Frisco is now rapidly getting back Into the shape it twas in several months ago and able 10 handle it's business to better advantage
 The report of the Car Service assoeia- tion for the last month was something of verifcation of the statements which have been made by the rialroad officials for several weeks about improved condl- tions. The report shows that 75,144 ears were handled last month as against 6f,55S in March of last year

OPPOSE BILL FOR
 POLISH AUTONOMY Will Be Killed, Says ConStitu- tionaI Democratic Leader DIET UNDER THE EMPEROR Project Establishes for Poland Within Limits of '65 Separate Admins tration Headed By
 vIceroy.
DIET UNDER THE EMPEROR

St. Petersburg. April 25-The bill pro viding for Polish autonomy introduced in the lower house of parliament by the Polish delegation, is encountering opposi- tion from the constitutional democrats. An article in the Rech, apparently writ ten by the editor of the paper, Professor Milukoff, leader of the constitutional democratic party, critieises the project as based on the principle of federation in- stead of provincial autonomy, and says it has no chance of adoption in its pres ent form. The project establishes for Poland within the limits of the kingdom of 1865, a separate diet and an admlnistra- tion headed by viceroy and judicial sys- tenn, an independent treasury, and sep arate budget. The competence of the diet would extend to all legislation affecting Poland not specifically reserved to the central government, among the reserva- tions being the Emperors civil list, the orthodox church. the army and navy, strategic railroads, military service, the currency, customs and excise duties, and the criminal code so far as treason and revolution are concerned.
 The diet would be convened, prorogued and dissolved by the Emperor; would sit annually for at least three months, and it's decision would be presented to the Emperor through Polish secretary of state who would have a seat in the coun- ell of ministers.
 The bill also provides that the mem bers Of the diet would be elected by uni versaI, direct equal and secret ballot. out lines the judicial system, method of local government, etc. The Polish treas ury would collect all the revenues in the government of Poland and bear propor- tionae share of the civil list and in the payment of interest on the civil list and in the payment of interest on the national debt except the expenditures on railroads outside of Poland. The proportions to be paid of the expenses of the national legis- lature would be fixed on the basis of the decennial census of the empire. Po- land would retain representation in the lower house of parliament and questions be decided by joint commission of menl- bers of the lower house of parliament and of the diet.
 The Rech points out that the adoption of. the bill would entail the dissolution of parliament and international compli- cations.
 Opposition to the Polish desires had been expected from the conservatives but not from the constitutional demo- crats who several times have included the autonomy of Poland in their programme The latter, however, found that though autonomy was a good battle cry against the government it's realization would not be popular with the Russian masses.

MOTORMAN MOBBED
 FOR CRUSHING BOY
CONEY ISLAND PASSENGERS, FRENZlED AT SIGHT OF MUTlL. ATED BODY, BEAT MoToRMAN so HE MAY DIE.

New York, April 25.-The sight of ths horribly mutilated body of a 16-year-old boy, who had been ground to death un-. der the wheels tonight, transformed the passengers of Coney Island surface car into maddened mob which beat into inconsistencies and almost killed the motorman. In the crowd was the father of the victim, who was unaware that his son had been killed. The car, operated by George Decker, was moving through Franklin avenue, Brooklyn, when Edward Kelly, in play, ran out of side street onto the track. The car struck him and the wheels severed his head and legs. The motorman who was dragged from the platform was thrown on the pavement and tramped upon. Nearby policemen un able to check the riot, summoned reserves who beat his assaiants and hurried the senseless motorman to a hospital, where he may die.
