VIRGINIA CASES
TAKE A NEW TURN
BILL FILED IN CHANcERY COURT
TO DETERMINE LlABlLITY-AL-
LEGES THAT MINERS VIOLATED
RULES IN CONTRACT.

For the purpose OF determining the
liability or non-liability of the Alabama
Steel and Wire company for the loss of
life which occurred at the Virginia mines
explosion a year ago, the Southern Steel
company, as successors of the Alabama
Steel and Wire company filed a bill In
the chancery court yesterday praying that
an injunction issue to restrain all fur
Their proceedings In the suits now pend
ing In the circuit and city courts aris-
ing out of that catastrophe temporary
injunction was granted.
The bill Is a very lengthy document
and proceeds to give the history of the
event and the causes which 1t is al
legged led up to It, 1t is set forth that
the complainant had consolidated other
mining interests including the Alabama
Steel and Wire company; that the Ala
bama Steel and Wire company had en-
tered into a contract with A. w. Reed
& Co., to operate the mines, and that
1t was while this contract was In eX-
istence the accident occurred. The ale
cations of the bill are to the effect that
the contractor was obliged to submit
to the terms of the miners union and
| that he WAS not at liberty to discharge
men for violations of the rules which
operators adopt for safety in mines.
The petition alleges that there are lib
suits pending, and that the law and fact
in each case Is identical, ard that 1t
takes at least two weeks to try one
| of the cases, that fully 100 witnesses are
subject to examination in each case and
that the difficulty of securing the at
| tendance of witnesses makes the trial
very expensive. 1t is further alleged that
cases are set for trial in various courts
on. the same day and that the courts have
decided not to allow a continuance on
account of attorneys being engaged In
| other courts.
1t is alleged further that the rights OF
the parties can be decided In one suit
I in equity, and that a basis of settlement
could be reached upon the decision OF
the chancery court.
The disaster at Virginia mines oc-
Cured on February 20, 1905, in which
10 persons were killed Since then four
suits arising out of the catastrophe nave
been tried In which there was one mis-
| trial two resulted In verdicts for the
| defendant and one for the plaintiff VINO
was awarded $4,000 damages

| Gerry court Is only a temporary injunc-
| tion. pending the taking of testimony

SOUTHERN PLANS 400
MILES DOUBLE TRACK
Line Between Corona and Bir-
mingham Considered
LINE BADLY CONTESTED
L. SEWER Arrives to Spend Sunday In
Birmingham-W. S. Andrews Is
Made Assistant to General
Manager Baker.

The Southern railway has under con-
temptation the building of about 400 miles
of double track on the system 100 miles
to be laid at the discretion of each of
the four general superintendent of dis
tricts
\ letter was written to each general
superintendent. requesting that he recon-
mend which places ON his district are
most in need of double track. It is under
stood that the Southern will consider
these recommendations and that it Will
probably authorize the construction Of
some or all of this work,
w. n. Foreacre, general superntend-
ent, yesterday said that he had received
letter asking for his recommendation
for the western district, but further than
that he could not talk.
1t Is generally believed that the South
ern from Birmingham to Corona Is in
greater need of double track than any
other part of the system. There are 90
openings on this line-that Is SO tracks
into coal mines, where an engine has
to place cars every day and take them
out and 1t is a recognized fact that the
amount of business handled on this line
cannot be properly handled on a single
track For this reason 1T is probable
that Mr.. Foreacre recommended this part
of the western district as a portion OF
the line that should be doubled-tracked.
In addition to the traffic now, the Mo
bile and Ohio will be operating trains
into Birmingham over the Southern with

traffic considerably. 1t is also rumored
that the Illinois Central may W the
Southern tracks the entire way into BIZ
mingham instead of using the Frisco
from Jasper to Birmingham.

Then there is quiet, reserved Julian Ken

nor his work, but whose secret every
body knows, and whose value everybody
appreciates. Then comes VIII Copeland,

Miscellaneous Types.
And there are many other types. There
is George Bodeler and j. B. Morson de-
plotting clevcrness and shrewdness, two
traits necessary In the office that they
seek. There are the types indicating leg
islative and executive ability depicted in
Frank Yielding, f. l. Tarrant, Jacob
Burger, George Eustis and others. There
is the type illustrating a hearty and jovial
disposition, Walter Metcalfe, Dave Wurtz-
burger, w. r. McGavock, James Oden, w.
b. Grant and others. There is the bust
ness man, who takes In the world at a
glance and knows how to conduct him.
self, Tom Parker, Dick Burnett, John
Wright, John Koran, Hal Copeland H.
NJ. Ullman, Charles Jones. There is the
man who is confident that If elected he
will discharge his duty well, and but IL
defeated, he will still be able to exist
without charity. OF such type is w. o.
Matthews, Charles Eckerle, John Shahan
and J. T. Garretson.
In addition, there are other types which
a close student of human nature could
mention. There is the man with foxy
disposition, there is the office seeker,
there is the man with a spite. In the
present campaign, as stated in the be-
ginning, there are numerous types, prac-
tically all, in fact, being represented.
Commonplace Names.
The list of commonplace names is as
founding Excepting Barnes" there is
not name which alone In itself is cal
culated to carry much weight. The ma
jority of the candidates are known chiefly
by the most ordinary names. There is
George, Frank, WILL Ed John, Jim, Bob,
Charles and Tom, Dick and Harry.
The number of Johns startles. In the
First ward there are three, and in the
Sixth every candidate is known as John

Shahan, John McCartin and John Lind

Georges and two Franks. There are three

Extension Of Sumpter Valley Road.


That there is something ,,ut OF the
ordinary now on In connection with
the aft airs OF the Oregon Lumber
company and the Sumpter Valley rail
road is certainty, says the Sumpter
American. The president OF those
concerns, David Eccles, recently
spent some days in making trip over
the northern part OF Grant and the
southern part Of Umatilla county. His
chiet engineer, j. A. West, has since
been in there as have timber cruisers
in his pay. 1t Is current that men
are now in the field running lines in
various parts OF that country under
Mr.. Vests direction. The timber
within that belt is the great desider,
atum, of course. That there Is pos
sibility OF the Pendleton. Pilot Rock
branch coming In from the north,
may, perhaps have had something to
do with present activities.
The ourbstone contingent herea-
bouts have been making their guesses
as to what might happen should hur
ry-up Instructions be received foI
construction by the Sumpter Valley
One route they could go would be out
to Susanville from Austin and then
take to the north. Another, and much
nearer route, with hardly any heavier
grades, would be via this city and out
over the Mt. Baldy ridge from Cable
vile.
General Superintendent Geddes was
tackled the other day for "inside"
information and he smilingly replied
