MARIE NOT AFTER
 TERMINAL CONTRACT
BARBOUR THOMPSON ARRIVES AND RUMOR SAYS MEETING OF THE TERMINAL COMPANY WILL BE HELD TODAY.

r. Thornton Marye. architect for the new Terminal station, spent yesterday in Birmingham
 been current to the effect that the Bir- mingharn Terminal company desired him 10 complete the new station.
 T am simply the architect" stated MT. Marye "and whatever change might oc- cur between the company and the con- tractors, will not affect me directly.
 Upon the general controversy between the Birmingham Terminal company and the contractors. the Oliver-Stollitte com pany of Chicago. MT. Marye was unable to throw any additional light. From his remarks it was learned that notice had been served on the contractors by the company to the effect that the contract would end on certain date Work at the new station is still in progress.
 J. S. Barbour Thompson. assistant to President Finley of the Southern rail- way, and secretary of the Terminal com- pany, spent yesterday in Birmingham, but gave out no interview or statement relative to the controversy. It was re- ported last night that there would be a. meeting of the company today. It Is generally thought that before the depart ure of Mir Thompson some definite action will be taken.
 If there arc any new complications or developments in the disagreement existing between the Birmingham Terminal com- pany and the Oliver-Stollitt company, the contractors, they are not known. The company has served notice to the effect that the termination of the contract was desired, and tho attorneys of the contract ing firm have replied that legal action will be necessary before that desire Is fulfilled. It was reported yesterday that the pres ence of Secretary Thompson and Archi- tect Marye In Birmingham was indica- tive of another move on the part Of the company to settle the controversy that has caused much discussion.

TOUCHING STORY
 OF OLD FRIENDSHIP
Birm ngham Man Greets Friend Who Saved His Life When Both
 Were Cowboys.

very pretty story developed yester- day morning in the office of Maj Frank Y. Anderson of the land department of tIS Alabama Great Southern railroad, in which Thomas Morris, an employe of the company, and Frank Williams, with the Robinson circus, played the leading roles.
 Some years ago, Morris and Williams were partners in Texas, both cowboys wounded man a second time. when Will stranger became involved in difficulty ths result being that the stranger shot Morris, and was preparing to shoot the wounded man a second time, when Will jams, coming to the rescue of his friend, shot the other fellow, killing him. As d result of the trouble, MT. Morris lost a leg. and that his life was saved Is due to the arrival of Williams.
 Years have passed since then. MT. Nor his did not expect to meet his old friend this week and his surprise was great when Williams walked Into the office yes- terday morning. The men fell into each others arms, and no one separated them during the entire day.

 O'Nelll Makes Spirited Denial.
 Alderman Burnett will return from Tate Springs tonight, and will probably be heard from. Alderman O'Neill makes this denial of the Mayors charges:
 "It having been called to my attention that Mayor Ward was going to have me investigated all I have to say is that he and all others have this right, and I am ready, able and willing to answer any charge lawfully made against me, and can prove It's utter falsity.
 However, I presume, this, if true, is political spite work, caused by my legally resisting Mayor Wards most unjust re- moval of myself as chairman of a com mittee without any notice. If had been Mayor Wards enemy, l would have been entitled to notice. But as his friend, and as far as was able, responsible for his election. 1t was truly ungrateful.
 "The entire matter, no doubt, grew out of. or was caused by, my activity In try ing to bring about an investigation of the practices and wrong doings of the SoutIi- ern Bitulithlc Paving company, some of the stockholders of whom know are, in- innate friends and political advisers of Mayor Ward,
 'If the things charged against this company are true, the public has suffered and in my opinion the matter should be investigated to the fullest extent.
 This investigation cannot be headed off by bringing false charges against me. l am a member of the Southern Bitulithic paving investigation committee and ex- pect to do my whole duty"

 Trouble Coming Wednesday Night. This is merely the first wind of the cyclone which will probably hit the council chamber Wednesday night. The Mayor and his supporters. who held q conference in his office last night, have concluded to ignore the organization un- der the new code. and he will assume his position as chairman of the board, and of the finance committee This is proven by the caption of the letters, The Mayor and Aldermen of Birmingham. We know no City Council" they say.
 Both Mayor Ward an1 President Par ker are expected to make calls for their committees today. Then the tug of war will follow.
 Relative to the called meeting which was printed in certain papers for the bitulithc committee of the council to meet yesterday Chairman Heidt said last night: q did not make the call, nor authorize it. My committee is not ready to go into the investigation.
 Donelson Welcomes Investigation.
 This is what J. E. Donelson. local rep resentativve of the Southern Bltuithic company had to say last night:
 '1Nhe Southern Bitulithlc company IS ready for an investigation. We welcome the appointment of a committee by the City Council, and the suggestion of Mayor Ward We are glad to have every one of our business principles investigated. Our books are open to the inspection of any alderman or any committee of public cl:- izens. Our stockholders, our contracts and our prices to other cities are a matter of public record We have only two stockholders resident in Alabama. Henry Gray and myself.
 "I will state this Out of the 1SO cities In which pavement has been laid by the Southern Bitulithic company the work In Birmingham is as good and the price is cheaper. We have made a lower bid for these streets than anywhere else. We invite the committee to write every one of the other municipalities where paving is done in the United States and their investigation will bear out my remarks"
 MT. Donelson, when asked whether he would testify against the aldermen charged with graft, said he had been summoned to appear before the commit

THREE ACCIDENTS ON
 CARS IN ONE DAY
Floyd McCann Decapitated By
 East Lake Car
SIG LEVY BADLY INJURED
Pratt City Car Splits Switch and Sew eral Negroes Are Hurt, Two eerl- ously-Ths Car Was
 Well Loaded.

Three street car accidents of more or less serious nature occurred yesterday be- tween 10 o'clock In the morning and , o'clock in the evening. One accident has already proven fatal to q young white man. another may be fatal to two ne- groes and the third while not. sAtal, caused serious injury. Besides these there were several minor accidents probably attributable Go the negligence of the parties injured.
 The most serious of the days oalamiues was one which occurred on the East Lake line yesterday afternoon about o'clock, resulting in the death of Floyd McCann, young man about 25 years of age. The East Lake motor car, No 2O9. pulling trailer No. 626, which left town yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock. was the car which figured in the accident.
 It seems that when the car reached the Southern crossing at Twenty-seventh street and First avenue, Conductor J. ;. Sims of the motor car ran ahead of his car to flag the crossing, and just as 1t started McCann ran out from the curb to catch it, and in some way was thrown under the wheels.
 One entire truck passed squarely over the unfortunate mans neck, completely severing it from the shoulders, and the right arm and chest were badly mashed. The ear was stopped and Gaudin & Co., 8 ambulance summoned. The body was re- moved to the undertaking establishment where it was later identified. Ed McCann of this city is a brother of the deceased. Floyd McCann was a young man about 1 25 years old and-unmarried. He was also a member of Wa Wa tribe, No. 30, Red Men. Glen Mary, Tenn. No funeral ar engagements have been made.
 Sig Levy Injured. While coming to town yesterday mol IT, ing, on a South Fifteenth street car, about o'clock. Sig Levy, the well known mar ket man was seriously injured In col 1 lision between the car he was on and an ljlewlld car. It seems that the Idle wild car was going across the crossing at Avenue and Fifteenth street when the other car ran into it. Mn, Levy sus- tained a deep v-shaped gash in his head and had to be taken to the hospital. | Shaw & Sons ambulance responded to the call Both of the cars were badly 1 broken up.
 | Cara Splits Switch.
 An incoming Pratt City car ran off the | track yesterday morning about lO.3U | o'clock at a switch on Fourteenth street and Eighth avenue, and two negroes were
 badly injured and three or four others less seriously injured The car was loaded
 with a bout 30 passengers, and was run ming at pretty lively clip when 1t split a switch and ran off the track. In some manner a negro named John Knox sus-
 tained a broken leg, and Slmpy Taylor a
 badly injured back. Both negroes were l taken to the hospital and are in serious 1 condition.

No Faith In Burnett Faction.

This Is what Mayor Ward had to say after filing the letters:
 "The above letters have been sent to I. c. Murray, city clerk, to be submitted to the Mayor and Aldermen next Wednes- day night. There may or may not be more of them sent to him before that time.
 Members of the Burnett faction have been posing as' wanting an investigation of some sort. I have no faith in any investigation they may start up and be- lieve what they do is for ulterior pur- poses.
 "If vigorous action and the aid of our good citizens will accomplish results propose to clear this City Council of all suspicion now resting upon 1t and satisfy the public as to the character of it's members.

The Most Hated Man in America.

The Most Hated Man in America.
A representative of the Woman s
Home Companion, who spent the
greater part of ten days with John D.
Rockefeller at his Cleveland home,
says of Mr.. Rockefeller: ut is no
exaggeration to say he (Rockefeller)
is the most hated, and most interest
ing man in America" In estimating
the multi-milliohaire's wealth, the ar
ticle, which is graphically illustrated
with photographs loaned by Mr..
Rockefeller. contains this interesting
statement.
When millionaire Marcus DAILY
died, he was generally said to be
worth $50,000,0O0. When his will
was probated, it showed about $13,-
100000. Senator Hearst was pop
ularly reported to be worth, when he
died, from forty to eighty millions.
The facts showed about seventeen
millions, and son on. So. Mr.. Rookie
fellers wealth would be more cor
rectly represented by about one quar-
ter of the billion which he has so
often been charged with possessing,
and more than half of this has come
of the advance in many judicious in
vestments long years ago.

NEW WORKERS .sGAWKIN0s
AT WEDDING.


William Allen White, in the Amer
lcan Magazine for January, writes OF
New YORK City and Emporia, tthe
Kansas town in which he edits a
newspaper OF New Workers at
weddings he says:
Here is another thing that we
cannot understand in Emporia and
that is the attitude New Workers take
toward weddings in what is known
as society. Our Gazette reporter says
that when he was in New York he
saw big crowd gawking in front Of
church; policemen had to fight the
women back to keep them off the
side lines; and he found that these
women-well dressed women, per-
fectly proper women, so far as he
could see-and he has done Society"
on the Gazette for three years. and
ought to know-women, he saws. who
looked to him as though they might
be coming home from the meeting of
the bridge whist club at Mrs. Cleay.
er's or Mrs. Lakin 's-were jamming
and pushing and showing to get a
sight of the bride and groom and
the wedding party as they came out
of the church Would they do that
in Emporia? Well, hardly. The
Emporia way for those who are not
invited to such an important social
affair-we call such gatherings
functions" in the Gazette-is either
to stay at home and sniff at it, and
call each other up over the telephone
always leaks-and laugh at
the proud ones, or to give another
party the same night Never would
Emporia women riot around a we'd
ding to which they were not in
vited. They would die first"
