GLENN MAY BALK
 AT RATE HEARING
It Is Understood That He Will Not Even Consider Passenger Rate
 Above 2I4 Gents.

News was received in Birmingham yes- terday that Governor Glenn of North Carolina will not listen to the talk of q uniform passenger rate for Alabama North Carolina, Georgia and Virginia if that rate will be in excess of 2A cents, the North Carolina rate.
 This determination of Governor Glenn might cause the plans of the four gover- nors concerned to go awry. The meeting will be held in the private office of Gov Hoke Smith ofAtlanta today at noon.
 The object of the meeting, as has been stated is to establish a uniform pas senger rate for the states concerned. and to discuss the entire railroad controversy. Governor Conner and Attorney General Garber will attend from Alabama. It Is understood that the meeting will be in executive session.

NUMEROUS HUNTERS
 TAKE OUT LICENSE
ABOUT 175 STATE AND 300 COUN- TY LICENSES HAVE BEEN lS- SUED FROM PROBATE OFFICE. SEASON BEGINS TODAY.

For many days the Alabama rabbits and squirrels and their fellow brothers of the wood have been beating a hot trail before the deep mouthed dogs, while the fowls of the air grew fat and round breasted. but the bird season opens today. and from all indications many well-oiled and polished fowling pieces will be drawn from their cases for service.
 Within the past few days Probate Clerk Sam Blake has had tint to do little else than issue hunting licenses to Jef- fersons sportsmen, there being issued yes terday alone something over 50 permits to shoot birds within the borders of Ala bama. There have been issued so far 175 state and about 300 county hunting licen- ses The state license, for which a 8 tax is charged. gives a man lawful permis- sion to hunt in any county in the state, but the county license, for s1, confines the rights of the huntsman to Jefferson coun- ty alone.
 This year is Alabama's first experience under the game laws the acts having been passed during the last session of the legislature. The sportsmen are re- quired to carry their licenses with them, together with written permit from the person on whose lands they hunt. These papers may be demanded by the game wardens.
 The number of licenses issued has been exceptionally heavy in Jefferson county, it being claimed that more have been issued in this county than in any other four counties together. It remains fact, however, that there is about as little hunting in Jefferson as in any other county Most of the hunters from Bir- mingham hie themselves hence to South Alabama, where they may shoot cows for deer, and chickens for no telling what, or perhaps they may shoot nothing and buy their game and birds on their way hOmeWard.

OCTOBER RECORDED
 ABOUT HOO ARRESTS
THE CITY JAIL ALONE HOUSED
 800 DURING THE MONTH, HALF
 OF WHOM WERE CHARGED WITH DRUNK AND DIsORDERLY.

october jumped over the summer months for a criminal record in Birning- ham, so far as petty cases were con cerned. While there were no tragic mur- ders, and very few of any kind, the ar rests will number close to HOO for the past month.
 The city jail alone housed so0 which is far more than usual. The number was swelled by the arrests for gambling and drunkenness.
 Policeman Street made a strong fight against the followers of chance, arrest ing more than 100 himself. and securing conviction for the majority. He is the only officer specially assigned to the work
 But half, exactly 400 men who entered the jail. were there for being drunk and disorderly. These do not include those arrested on other changes due to liquor such as assault and battery Ten of these came in on the last day of the month.

TWO SUGGESTED FOR
 BOSWELL'S PLACE
RAILROADS ARE SOMEWHAT SUR PRlSED AT THE LARGE NUMBER OF FOREIGNERS LEAVING THE DISTRICT RECENTLY.

Since the announcement in The Age Herald yesterday morning that R. E. Boswell. superintendent of the Alabama Great Southern, who resigns his position November 1 to accept position with the Seaboard Air Line. discussion in Alabama Great Southern circles as to hts probable successor has been rife.
 It was considered most probable that the superintendent mantle would fall on the shoulders Of either R. E. Hickey. superintendent at Lexington, Ky, or H.. IT, Vance. trainnaster in Birmingham. Both men are esteemed by Ala bama Great Southern officials. Mir. Hickey was formerly stationed in Blrmlnghani and is familiar with the territory.
 There was considerable regret expressed over the severance of Mir. Boswels con nection with the road. It has not been announced ss yet in what capacity he wll report to the Seaboard.

BIRMINGHAM BANKS IN. FINE SHAPE AND EQUAL TOS|TUAT|ON Cashiers Checks on New York
 Will Be Used to Meet
 PayroIIs
PLAN SUGGESTED WILL BE
 BEST FOR WHOLE DISTRICT
Checks Will Be Accepted as Cash By Any of the Banks CT Merchants In the Birmingham
 District.

The general business and banking situ- day. The local banking conditions, it is pointed out, have been all along since the New York disturbance, absolutely solid, but being dependent in large measure on New York as the source of currency supply. Birmingham bankers have taken, it is seen, wise preca in restricting the amount of cash that could be withdrawn by individuals on any one day.
 The local banks have been ready at all times since the New York furry to honor all payroll checks, provided cash had been deposited in bank to meet the same. The furnace companies have been in the habit, as have all big business concerns throughout the country of depositng New York exchange to meet their payrolls. But in the present stress New York will not ship currency, and in view of condi- tions representatives of the corporations in the Birmingham district held a meet ing yesterday. After conference with the banks they suggested a plan that
 
 community. 1t is simply this: The cor porations will deposit as usual New York exchange to make their payroll accounts good The banks will issue against these accounts cashiers checks on New York, in amounts varying from $1 to $50 These bank cheeks on New York will be ac- cepted as cash by merchants and others in Birmingham, Ensley, Bessemer and throughout Alabama and, as for that mat ter, the whole country.
 For example an employe who receives one of these bank checks on New York for S1O can go to any merchant in Bir- mingham or the Birmingham district buy say, s6 worth of goods and get s4 in currency in the way of change
 The First National bank will. as a mat ter of convenience, have it's checks printed know at a glance the amount the check calls for
 Is Absolutely Satisfactory.
 r. II. CrocSard, vice president and gen. eral manager of the Tennessee Republic companies, said yesterday evening"
 The arrangement that the payroll con- cerns have made with Birmingham banks is absolutely satisfactory. We deposit New York exchange In large sums and the banks issue to pay our men cashier checks payable in New York in amounts from $1 up. These checks on New Y ork will be the same as money. for they will be accepted in Birmingham, Ensley, Bes- semer and every where as equivalent to cash. These cheeks go ultimately to New York and are paid there by banks on which they are drawn, and where funds are already on deposit to meet them. am sure little or no inconvenience will result from this temporary arrangement to meet and protect our payrolls.'
