quoted would seem to allow q member of Congress who Is an attorney for a railroad to travel free, the administra- tive rulings places the free travel in another light. Under the rulings 1t Is expressly stated that an employe who rides on a pass must devote substan- italy all of their (his1 time to the work of or business of such carriers In other words, if a member of Congress who is an attorney accepts a pass it is presumed that he "devotes substantially all" of his time to the railroad and 'r~"Afore, he must devote substantially of his time to his constituents.

How They Originated Just One
 Hundred Years Ago
EFFECT ON THE WORLD
Fulton's Boat Inaueurated Steam Nav igatIon and London Correspond ent on Continent Opened
 Eyes of the World.
BY FREDERIC j. HAskIN.

Just 100 years ago the unwitting world received two gifts from the genius of man which have so accelerated the life of the human family that the same unwit- ting world has lived more in that century than in all of the centuries before. The year 1907 marked the success of two ex- perlrnents-the use of steam in navigation and the of a special newspaper cor respondent in giving information and moulding opinion. From that time until now~the steamboat and the newspaper correspondent have grown, until the af- fairs Of our neighbors of Korea and the domestic quarrels of our brothers of Per sia are the common property of the great American public which follows the steam boat and the correspondent, it is true, but the two inventions of 1897 blazed the way.
 The record-breaking voyage of the mon- ster steamship Lusltania, which marked the centennial achievement in steam nayi gaton, was heralded to every American in thousands of columns of newspaper articles. Its triumphal 1ve-day passage across the Atlantic was watched each day by the people of the five continents, thanks to the wireless telegraph. When 1t had completed it's wonderful voyage the whole civilized world knew of the fact the same day.

Attorneys Wi1lett X Willett and Mat thews X Matthews. who have been em- ployed by the erstwhile citizens of Hob son City to test the constitutionality Of the law recently enacted by the Alabama legislature revoking the charter of Hob son City and annexing that municipality to the city of Oxford, will enter their cases in local court at a< early date according to Mir. E. k<1Yillett
 MT. Willett says that the case can be entered in either the circuit, the city or the chancery court, and the attorneys are now hesitating to determine which tii- bunal will be best suited to their pur- pose.
 It will be remembered that Hobson City was before the convention of the last Alabama legislature the only exclusively negro town In the United States, being ruled and inhabitated solely by members of that race. The negroes were proud of the town and want to continue their ex- pertinent in self government. If they win their suit 1t will probably materially upset plans of the people of Oxford, who are now taking a census to show that that city has 20oo inhabitants, thus max ing Oxford a city.

Henry Crabb Robinson. the first newspaper correspondent. was born the year before the American colonies de- clared their independence. He was ar ticled to an attorney at the age of Ia, His memory was so remarkable that he could repeat the substance of speech made by the great Erskine fftyf four years after he heard 1t. He heard John Wesley preach and felt the greatness of the power of reform. When he was 23 he went abroad. learned German, and met Goethe. Schiller and Madame de Staed. He went back to England on the same ship that carried the news of Napoleon's victory at Auster- litz. It was then that he met John Walter. the second of the Walter dy nasty In control of the London Times.
 Struck by Robinson's knowledge of men and things, and rightly estimating the advantages of his linguistic pow CTS Walter decided to send special correspondent to the continent upon whom he could rely to send accurate news of the political and military bat ties then raging. Robinson went to Altona, then the Danish rival of Ham burg. From there he wrote a famous series of letters which gave the Eng fish people an insight into affairs which they had never had before. It was the first time any newspaper had ever sent man anywhere for the ex- press purpose of getting the news and telling the truth. The few corre- spondents before that time had been sent out with view to obscure rather than to clarify the situation. A year later Robinson went to the Peninsula and followed the fights of that great campaign. He did not continue to follow Napoleon to the end of his ca reer, but in 1909 returned to London and the study of law. He was an in innate friend of Lamb, Coleridge, Wordsworth and Southey. He lived to be 91 years old, retaining his faculties until the last and passed away in 1867, living to see the modern journal ism well established

CARS F0R SOUTHERN RAILWAY New Department in AnniSten
 Car Works MAY BUILD STEEL CARS Father o. P. Stah Returns From Trip to Fathers Bedside in Germany.
 Hobson City May Be
 Revived.

Anniston, September Especial )-1dIe Western Steel Car and Foundry company In this city has just recently branched out into an entirely new line of work, that of repairing cars for the Southern railway. The Southern has no machine shop in this city. and heretofore when breakdown occurred within the city it has been necessary to rely upon good fortune to get cars repaired or else remove them to another place. The erecting shed at the car plant has been enlarged, however, and that plant Is now prepared to take care of large amount of repair work, several contracts for the Southern hay ing already been discharged This project was contemplated last year. but when the Pressed Steel company assumed the ac- tive management of the local plant 1t was temporarily abandoned
 Manager c. w. Wrenshal stated this morning that the company has on nand work sufficient to keep the plant in op- eration for several months, and IL IS un- derstood from a reliable source that d new order for 300 cars of 6O,0oo pounds capacity each has just been landed. Mir. Wrenshall, however, in pursuance with the mo talk policy of the Pressed Steel people, will not confirm this, stating that it is not exactly definite.
 Will Build Steel Cars.
 Manager Wrenshall says that wooden cars are soon to be a thing of the past and he says that no further extensions will be made here for the manufacture or cars of that material The car company, however, is planning to manufacture steel cars in Anniston. and this will be done If the city will agree to close Tenth street so as to give the car company room to extend their plant, covering the plot now occupied as a lumber yard. This would insure the permanent operation of the car plant and also give employment to d large number of additional men,
 The car company Is now using the rear of the building formerly occupied by tho Houston Mercantile company as a com mssary for storing miscellaneous ma terial. The front of the building is again being used by the mercantile company. who arc opening a soft drink and refresh ment stand there.

DRIVING "PIE' WAGON
Present Contractor Says Little
 Money, But Lois of Bother.

In all probability the board of safety at it's meeting tomorrow af- ternoon will open the bids for police patrol service for the next three years. At present the patrol wagon patronage is monopolized by Thomas F. Lunny, who says it is irnmaterial to him whether he is awarded the job for the next three years. Tom" says there has been nothing in 1t for him the past three years and will not take the contract again unless the board Is wiling to agree to the terms proposed by him about a month ago. He declares it has been a big wear and tear on his horses, been con- stant source of worry to himself and no matter how good the service fur nished there is always holler from some official who knows not what he is talking of. During the three years which he has had the job of hauling "pie eyed" and other wrong doers to the station, he has never missed a call-that is his horses and wagons have always been ready to gallop to the box whence the signal was sent in. The contract says that the ''black maria" "pie wagon" "boozerine vehicle" or whatever one wishes to call 1t must report at the station five minutes after the call is sent to the office. Lunny says, and the officials at the station agree with him, that he has never taken five minutes before answering call, the longest time that elapsed between the time his office was notified and the wagons appearance at the station being three and one-half minutes. At times the wagon has been out of com mission but another vehicle has al ways been pressed into service so that those desiring ride to Terry" Lynch's domain on Harrison avenue never wanted for transportation fa- cilities. At times the wagon has car ried some rather undesirable citizens, but it's chief claim for notoriety is its record for helping "moccasined'' per- sons to the station house. It was ex- pected that beginning next year the misdemeaneants of this city would be treated with little more pomp and brought to the station (yes, sta tion, things are often called some thing which they are not) in an au- tomobile. But the board of finance did a little cutting on the amount of money asked for the police depart ment, consequently the denizens of Waterbury who do not keep the peace will have to ride in a plain ordinary patrol wagon for the next three years. But passing onto another subject which is of an entirely diff ferent nature, "Tom" Lunny takes great pride in his Red Cross'' am- bulance. He says that during the seven years which he has had the ambulance he has made more than 5000 calls, and that person has never died while in the vehicle. Like the patrol wagon, it is ready at all times to answer an emergency call and it has never refused to answer summons, although at times the owner was almost certain he would get nothing for the job. He has car- ried persons in critical condition to the hospital and has never lost a poco
