CRUSADE AGAINST
 SPEEDY DRIVERS
Eioht Were Arrested Yesterday and All Were Convicted In Judge Fea-
 gins Court Except One.

Those who have been in the habit of speeding across Birmingham in automo- bies or driving an animal, are now hay ing cause to look up the city code. Eight of these percentages, when flagged down yesterday, and as many the day before, certainly wished that Officer Masengale had not known the law on the subject
 It is a fact not known to many people in Birmingham, not even the hack drivers and livery stable men, that horses must walk on the main streets of the city. From First avenue to Third avenue. and from Eighteenth to Twenty-first streets, if is unlawful to go across a crossing faster than a walk at any time of the day.
 Eight were convicted yesterday on the charge and number will face the trl- bunal today The campaign that is be- ing waged is in the interest of the women and children of the district. Since one hoy has been ridden down, and others have been recently injured the policemen are redoubling their energies and are de- termined to put a stop to the practice.
 Only one of those whom Officer Masen- qale arrested was acquitted. pr. James McLester proved that he was not exceed ing the speed limit in his automobile.

tention of a workman of the Shugart farm, when they were quickly suecored. Dr. Roseman was quickly summoned from North Birmingham, to attend their wounds.
 He found the elder MT. Warren in q very serious condition. His hip joint was dislocated and body bruised up eonsid- erably. The son had been thrown so violently against the hard ground that his face was badly lacerated, but other wise he was uninjured. His wife escaped with a severe nervous shock. Mrs. Cum ningham, however was bruised about the flesh and completely prostrated
 The ambulance of Foley Ss Mackey was quickly called and the injured people taken post haste to the Hillman hospital, where they are receiving the best of at tention. There will be no fatality, but Nh. Warren will be laid up for a long time with his leg. He is 70 years of age, and the bones will naturally be long in knitting.
 Inc horse which caused all the mis- chief did not escape uninjured, as his legs were skinned up. He, too, will be on the sick list for some time to come.
 The Warren family is we'll known in Birmingham and has the sympathy Of friends in the accident. Many hopes are expressed that no serious developments will follow.

TAKES ORDERS FOR
 COAL IN FUTURE
George Comes to Grief as Result of Unusual Ventilation of
 His Genius.

George Huston, alias Lonnie Huston, came to grief yesterday in the first di- vision of the criminal court. He was con- victed of several charges of obtaining money by false pretenses.
 Georges ancestors came originally from the banks of the Congo, but George him. self is a native born American, and as such thought it worth while to show his countrymen a trick or two.
 The price which merchants charged for coal gave George an opportunity to ventl- late his genius, so he went around taking orders for tons or carload lots, just as people wanted at prices far below that quoted in the market reports. In order to reap the benefit of this reduction a de- posit of money, anywhere from s1 to 8, was required The coal was to be de- lvered in three months from the date of the order il
 Several eoolred people were caught for small amounts, and even white men were taken in by the plausible story he told. The idea was an unique one and the temptation was strong. If George had been on Wall street he would have been called a bear, but as his operations were confined to small orders they sayored of false pretenses and landed him inside the big rock.

HARAHAN TALKS
 OF ROADS PLANS
Indications Point to Illinois Centrals Getting Into Birmingham
 About July 1.

w. J. Harahan, vice president in charge of operating and construction of the Illi- nois Central, spent yestreday in Birming- ham, and left yesterday afternoon for New Orleans on the Louisville and Nash ville
 The object of MT. Harahan's trip was to attend a meeting of the Birmingham Terminal company, which was held yes- terday morning. After the meeting he drove to the terminals of the Illinois Cen tral on Sixteenth street and also to the yards, which are being built at North Birmingham.
 In discussing the entrance of the Illi- nois Central into Birmingham MT. Hara- han stated that the work of construction between Haylevlle and Corinth, Miss, was progressing well and that the indica- tions pointed now to the road getting into Birmingham about July l.
 'We are getting some very nice yards in shape at North Birmingham" Mir. Harahan said As beginning they will have a capacity of about 300 cars. which can easily be increased. The engine house will have a dozen or more stalls. but we may not keep our passenger engines out there, as it is so far from the station and would require so much time to get the trains to and from the station.
 ''The work of grading has been com pleted and we are now ready to lay the tracks in the yards, which will be com pleted in plenty of time for us when we start operating into Birmingham. The people can easily see the work we have done on the terminals in the city limits, but few have seen the yards at North Birmingham"

TWO MEN AND TWO WOMEN BAD- " INJURED WHEN FRIGHTENED HORSE DASHES HEADLoNG OVER A STEEP EMBANkMENT.

Over a steep bluff, behind a fractlous horse. four white people. two of them ladies. were hurled yesterday afternoon, and were all pinned under the wagon bed.
 The occupants of the vehicle were C.. G. Warren, his son, c. G. Warren, Jr., and wife, and Mrs. A. B. Cunningham. They were on their way to Birmingham from their home near Fulton Springs, driving spirited animal After they had passed Sayreton and were approaching North Birmingham, the horse suddenly became frightened and dashed off down the road
 Coming to the bluff he proceeded to jump off head foremost, dragging the unfortunates after him, distance through the air of about fifteen feet. The wagon turned completely over, and caught all four victims underneath it, so they could not extract themselves.
 After they had suffered for about a half hour their cries attracted the at

RAILROADS THINK
 CASE IS STRONG
Chief Counsel LaWton of the Central of Georgia Spends the Day In
 Birmingham.

Alexander R. Lawton, first vice pres ident and chief counsel of the Central of Georgia railway, spent yesterday in Rir- mingham. He left at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon for Savannah.
 Before leaving MT. Lawton stated that he came over from Atlanta to look after some matters of the road in Birmingham. In regard to the legislation in this state and the action of the railroads in seeking injunctions to prevent the laws from be- ing made effective, MT. Lawton had little to say. lie stated, however, that the roads went into the matter believing that they were right and with strong belief that they would win their case in the courts. Otherwise, he said, the roads would not have appealed to the courts.

WILLIAMS REMOVED
 TO CONDEMNED CELL
ATTORNEYS WILL HOLD A CON- SULTATION TODAY-OPlNlON OF SUPREME COURT SETTLES THE QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.

The case of John Williams, convicted of the murder of State Senator Robert L. Hipp, in Cullman county was a live topic of conversation yesterday.
 Williams attorneys c-e Judge zel Gas ton and Erie Pettus. Mir. Pettus had not returned from Athens last night and no action will be taken until there is a con- sultation of the lawyers in the case
 It is possible that Williams will be taken back to Cullman and there impris- oned, awaiting the action of the cir cult court in that county. He is held in the jail in Jefferson county merely for safekeeping and can be brought back at any time. His attorneys will exhaust every means known to the law to save his life if it appears that the prisoner is insane.
 In rendering his decision in the case Judge Tison said:
 Ut will certainly not be disputed that the custody of Williams by the court that tried him was essential to the en- forcement of the judgment of conviction. An.- other rule would produce conflict of jurisdiction over the right to the GUS lOuy or person Ol lne coiutHlHeu prlSp- ner and lead to inextricable confusion resulting in the defeat of the due admin istration of the law
 But 1t is said that if the right to prosecute the pet%ton' for the writ is denied Williams will be deprived of all recourse to have his insanity vel non in- quired nto--that if insane he should not he executed while in thai condition. Every court has the inherent power to control the execution of it's orders or processes to the end of preventing an abuse of them. Hoffman vs. Sewell, 42 SC. Rep, 556; Larkin vs. Mason, T Alabama, 227.
 ''We do not doubt the power of the judge of the circuit court upon proper of Williams for the purpose of institut- ing an inquiry into his sanity, and if found to be insane then to stay his ex- ecution until a recovery.
 But it may be said that this court upon the appeal from the judgment of the conviction in affirming that judg- ment fixed the day for Williams execu- tion, and, therefore, the circuit court was without authority to stop his execu- tion on that day. If this be conceded, this court has the power to stay the ex- ecution until the judge of the circuit court can make the inquiry into his sanity"
 Williams has been removed to the cell where condemned prisoners are kept and will remain there until some disposition is made of his case

FEAGIN'S COURT
 HAS LIVELY DAY
MEN UP FOR INToxIcATlON CLAIM THEY WERE DRUGGED-SOME MIGRANTS ALLOWED TO WORK A YEAR FOR THE CITY.

Judge Feagin's court was crowded yes terday with the largest mid-week docket of cases that has come up this year. When the gate to the jail was opened and the clerk called out, "A1l who want to plead guilty, come out," thirteen red-eyed and sore-limbed individuals, drunkards of the night before filed before the bench and prepared to hear the verdict of the judge.
 Three of the white men, who looked re- spectable, stated that they were amazed at their condition. They swore to the judge that it was the first drunk they had taken, and "as sure as the stuff went down their throats'' they had been doped. One of them even went so far as to de- scribe his sensations as the medicated concoction went gurglng to it's work, while another grew eloquent in his de- nunciation, declaring the mixture that was sold him a curse to humanity, and the work of demons. He had not recov- cred from it's effects. However, when the judge gave them all a stiff fine they filed back into the cage, quite sober men.
 There were nine vagrants among the bunch, and nearly all of them were con- yicted. The negroes were the result or a raid made by Policeman Fully and Dixon in the heart of South Highlands, and none of them were able to prove being em- ployed anywhere. Two were carrying pis- tols concealed They were each sentenced to a year in the employ of the city

Outdoor Fairgrounds.

q see Birmingham is developing play graunds for the children,' continued Mr. Parsons, which is most commendable The cities of this country are paying more and more attention to these institutions as they are absolutely vital for giving children proper recuperation and exercise. New York city is now paying $30,0o0 a year for the single item of instructors for it's outdoor playgrounds.
 "The newspapers and public spirited citi- zens of any city are. usually the strong est supporters and advocates of park de- velopment. and I hope these powerful in- fuences in Birmingham will keep ham, mering away until the parks which your city council has so wisely provided, are adequately developed and maintained"

An ordinance regulating the business of ticket brokers was adopted. It provides for the protection of the railroads from scalpers and dealers in tickets, describing them as those who sell or buy any kind of transportation and that they must be licensed as well as make a daily report of all sales to the chief of police. It also makes it unlawful to sell free transporta- tion under any circumstances. This pro- tectlon does not meet any present condl- ton, as there are no such people in the city, but provides for contingencies.
