Shortage Provisions Imminent

Shortage Provisions Imminent
On account of the failure of steamers
to land freight at Katalla for the pas
mouth food shortage is likely to
cause serious trouble at that camp this
winter. For several weeks no boat
has been abe to unload, and Ia the
last storm oil the lighters but one
were swept to seq, thus making it still
harder to get supplies ashore even if
tho weather ehould improve. AS
there are nearly 1000 people at Katalla
now, food shortage will be very
serious matter and will mean great
hardships for the inhabitants

A BRIEF VISIT

Inc noted newspaper correspondent,
Mr.. Chas. Stewart with Northern
headquarters at Chicago and Southern
headquarters at Normal, Ala, passed
through Nashville Monday morning en-
route to Normal. A Globe reporter
learned that he was in the city but
could not reach the station in time.
However, he had a talk with him over
the phone.
When asked by the Globe man
where he had been, Mr.. Stewart re-
piled: "Oh, have just been riding
around over the country. l spent a
month in Texas with my family.
whose home is in Lamarque, Texas.
have been to Chicago, Washington,
Philadelphia and a hundred other
places. am now slated to take care
of the medical association which will
be in Birmingham this week"
What are your plans for the sum
mer," was the next question asked Mr..
Stewart.
"They are not all formed yet" re-
piled the newspaper man. 81 do know,
however, that from June 26 and the
%, / will be in Mississippi attending
the Negro Business League of that
state, and I promised the Sunday
School Congress management that l
would be in New Orleans from the
2Sth to the Goth. Other than this
shall not be busy, except attending
the regular annual meetings"
Mr.. Stewarts famous typewriter
was with him on this trip as usual.
He expects to make Nashville some
time during the summer.

old and much beloved preachers, the

who was so painfully hurt by the run
ming away Of his horse on Tuesday,
April 2, as was reported in the Globe

that it will be several days before

NASHVILLE LOSES THE SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONGRESS.

Nashville, by its inactivity, has lost
another big annual meeting. New Or
leans has gained one by it's activity
This meeting is the National Baptist
Sunday School Congress and Young
Peoples Chautauqua A call for this
second annual meeting has been is
sued to convene in New Orleans, La,
June 26 to 30. This is one of the an
nual meetings that brings hundreds of
cultured young people from all parts
of the United States 1t is to be re-
gretted that it could not hold it's sec
ond session in this city, as it was con
templated at the Inauguration of this
movement to hold it's regular sessions
here. But it is learned from the man
agement Of the Congress that so little
interest was manifested in Nashville
by the churches and citizens to insure
the sessions, it was forced to go where
better inducements were offered. New
Orleans has guaranteed the manage
ment that every attention will be
given its delegates and visitors.

one of the agencies which would tend
to make you such. If you take any

They Must Choose be-

WASHINGTON. April 16.-That the duty

carriers who are members Of militia COM
panies Is paramount TO that of their mill
tary service, except at critical times Is the
decision OF First Assistant Postmaster Gem
eral Hitchcock regarding the employee of
the postoffice at Lorain o., on strike duty
with a company of Ohio National Guard.
The postmaster accordingly has been noti-
ned to have Captain A. F. Cove and Ser
geant Phinney either return to work inn
mediately or resign their positions.
Investigation has led the department to
the conclusion that no such conditions there
exist as to warrant the absence of these
men from the postofice doing military
duty. Mr.. Hitchcock said today that It re-
peatedly had been decided by the law on
GERS of the government that the prompt dis
tribution OF mail cannot be interfered with
for any reason whatsoever. The Postofice
department maintains that none Of it's en-
ployes should belong to the National Guard
for this reason. In this case. the post
master reported that four OF his employees
are out with the militia company and that
the business of his once is being seri-
ously hampered. Two Of the men returned
to work in response to the demand Of the

UP To COMMISSIONERS NOW
State officials Make an Inspection Of the
Woodbury. Avenue Crossing.
RAILWAY AND CITY ARE REPRESENTED
COmmissiOners After Inspection and
Hearing of Interested Parties
Call for the Maps and Docu-
menta In the Case.

The question Of whether the Chicago
| Great Western railroad shall be required
/ to construct a crossing under It's tracks at
Woodbury. avenue now rests with the State
Railroad commissioners, who visited the
place yesterday and made a thorough in
vestigation Of the controversy.
The three commissioners, d. ]. Palmer
| Of Washington, w. l.. Baton Of Usage and
N. S. Ketchum OF Marshalltown, were con-
veyed to the Woodbury. avenue crossing by
special train, placed at their disposal by
the railroad company. Accompanying the
commissioners were Chief Engineer c.
Chadburn, Assistant General Attorney j.
L. ErdaI, Division Superintendent shipley,
Trainmaster L. S. Bourne and Hon. c. G.
| Saunders, local attorney OF the Great West
ern; City Engineer Kimball, City Solicitor
! Kimball and Councilmen Wallace, Maloney,
YounlSerman and Smith.
At the crossing the party were met by a
| number OF interested citizens and residents
OF that vicinity, who seek the construction
/ Of the crossing under the tracks. After
| the commissioners had made an inspection
OF the place the party adjourned to the
| Woodbury. Avenue schoOlhouse, where the
commissioners listened to arguments pro
and con.
] One of the principal witnesses was Rich
II
Board of Education for driving the school
children from the neighbohood daily to and
/ from the Third Street school. Mr. James
| said he regarded the crossing as dangerous
because It was impossible to see trains un-
| I'll they we're close, and difficult to hear
the bells or whistles. The bells and whistles
/ OF engines in the neighboring yards of the
Rock Island and Milwaukee, he said, caused
confusion at times. N P. Dodge and Rev.
@. G. Rice told of the depreciation of prop
erty in that vicinity, due, as they declared,
| to the dangerous crossing. Woodbury. ave-
! nue. had formerly they said, been a popular
driveway, but nobody drove there now ex-
cept those compelled to because of the
dangerous character Of the railroad CROSS
ing
On their return to the city the commits
sioners were given a practical demonstra-
ton Of the character Of the crossing by the
train being run at different speeds across 1t.
The commissioners we're entertained at
lunch at the Grand hotel by the officers Of
the Commercial club, and in the afternoon
were taken on a special train to view the
Wabash bridge over Mosquito creek. They
left for their respective homes in the even
| ing.
AS the commissioners called for estimates,
! plans prohles, etc. their decision in the
matter of the Woodbury. avenue crossing
is not looked for at a very early date.

THREE JURORS ARE PREJUDIoED

Excused from Serving on Case Against
Standard Oil.
The empaneling of a Jury in the district
court yesterday to try the personal in
jury damage suit of Axel Ehlers against
H. A. Larsen, proprietor of the Manhattan
saloon and restaurant, and the Standard
OIL company developed the fact that sew
eral Of the members Of the petit jury
panel had scruples about serving In the
case on account Of the fact that the Stand
ard OIL company was one of the defend
ants. d. +. Dryden, a former member OF
the Board of County Supervisors, declared
he was prejudiced from the fact that his
brother had been employed by the company
for forty years and for the further reason
that he firmly believed that the founda-
ton of the country rested on corporations,
John Wallace was another juror who was
prejudiced, but unlike Juror Dryden.
against the Standard Oil company. He said
with apparent sincerity that he once
bought a gallon Of coal oil and the stove
blew up. A third member Of the panel said
he thought he ought to be excused because
of the fact that forty years ago he knew
John d. Rockefeller in Pennsylvania when
the present millionaire was but a poor boy.
The three were excused.
Ehlers was burned by the explosion Of
gasoline in the basement of the Manhattan
building last June. It was alleged that the
driver Of the Standard OIL company's
wagon had filled the big tank In the base
ment to overlooking and this was pri-
marily the cause of the explosion.
The case was completed last evening and
the jury brought in a sealed verdict about
8 o'clock.
The trial of Mrs. Emily Wadsworth
Bresee, indicted on the charge OF practic-
ing medicine without a license, will be
begun.

against which ]. Marion Stevens Of the fire

week, yesterday filed a motion for a new
trial.
