FACTS ABOUT COSMOPOLITAN

CosMoPoLIToN has made a sin.
gle outlay in the way OF material for
its. readers that has not been sur.

any magazine. A contract has been
entered into with the great English
short story writer. E. Phillips op.
penheIm, for a series Of brilliant short
stories that will probably represent
a greater similar expenditure than
has even been made by a modern
magazine.
COSMOPOLITAN has secured the

FOR OUTING ON 4TH
BARBECUE TO WORKING MOTHERS
 AND POOR CHILDREN.
Catain Odom of Salvation Army Mak- ing Personal Pela for Funds for Their Charity at Pickett
 Springs.

Captain l.. A. Odom, of the Saliva ton Army, is nov making A personal plea for the raising of a suficie mt fund to give the working mothers and FOOT children of Montgomery a free bar becue and outing at Pickett Springs on July 4. An outing of this sort WAS given last year and 1t scored a com plete success.
 A plea for help for this form of charity which has so largely com mended itself to the charitable reo- pie all over the country has been sent to most of the citizens of Montgomery who are able to help Captain Odom hopes that the plea will meet with a voluntary response from those to whom 1t was sent. He will. also make a per sonal canvass of the city for help for the charity.
 It Is his purpose to have a splendid dinner for at least a thousand work ing mothers and children on July 4th . He estimates that the cost of the dim ner and the outing will be between $500 and $7O0. The army vii have no trouble in finding those who will grate- fully take advantage of the days op- been largely among the poor-those who know what the privations of pow erty means.
 He Is anxious that the city should realize the great good that comes from a charity so general In its nature and which would reach so many of the needy While the movement for the collection of the material and funds for the barbecue has hardly started, the following contributions have already been received
 H. M Austin. 100 pounds sugar; H. M Hobble. 25 pounds sugar: w. F.. Vandiver, one case lemons; a friend, $5; Davidson. Holt & Strauss, s3; Chas. L. Gay. $1; J. P. Burton, $1; MT. Bel ser, $1; George D. Noble, one goat; Mrs. Sara Stern. s1; Mrs. NJ. A, Gun ter. Sr., S2.

ROAD ACROSS
 TALLAPOOSA Does Railroad Own the Bridge. EAST TALLASSEE COMPLA ANS Says Cost of Handling Freight Has
 Greatly Advanced. Railroad Replies That it Owns Line Only to Tallassee and Cannot
 Control Extension to
 Eastern Bank.

AIter being in session practically all or yesterday to hear the petition of J. H. Ashurst and others for depot facilities at East Tallassee, which they claim Is the proper terminus of the Montgomery and Tallassee Railroad. the Alabama Railroad Commission ad- Journed late yesterday afternoon, post poning the rendition of a decision un- til Wednesday.
 several witnesses on each side were examined and the delegations from Taliassee and East Tallassee were very numerous. Hon. John V. Smith, for merly President of the Railroad Com mission, was solicitor for the appel lants, and Judge A. M. Chiffon the counsel for the Montgomery and TaI- lassee Railroad Company
 The case has been pending before the Commission for a few weeks. It involves the question of the operation Of the railway line and bridge from Tallassee to East Tallassee. on the eastern side of the Tallapoosa River, oposite Tallassee.
 The appellants claim that until a few weeks ago the Montgomery and .Tallassee Railroad Company delivered freights in car load lots at East TaI- lassee at practically no additional charge to the rates to Tallassee ex- cept for switching charges of s3 a car. Now. it is alleged, the company de- clines to deliver cars at East Tallas- see and the subsequently, increased ex- penses of unloading and Transporting freights from Tallassee to East Tal- lassee amount to about $20 a car. vir- tually the same increase. 1t was com plained, applies to the handling of outgoing freight, one of the principal complainants being lumber company at EasS Tallessee.
 The Montgomery and TaIIassee Rail- road Company answered that It's char ter afforded provisions for a railroad only between Montgomery and Tallas- see and that the line connecting the latter place with the town on the oth- CT side of the sTallapoosa River was not its own, but the Tallassee Falls Manufacturing Company's property, and therefore not within it's own con- trol.
 It was stated yesterday that the Ta1lassee Falls Manufacturing Com pany had until a short time ago per- mitted the utilization of the tracks and bridge by other persons and cor porations than itself. but that few weeks ago 1t abandoned the policy and would no longer allow others to use its railway and terminal facilities in East Tallassee.
 The petition was specifically for a depot, the implication being that the petitioners would have the privilege of utilizing the property under discussion as had been previously allowed.
 The witnesses examined yesterday were Messrs. Storris. Ashurst, Carlton. Rufin, Darman, DeLoach and Carr. for the petitioners. and Messrs. Ellsberry and worrell for the defendants.

NOT TTOAFFECT WORK
CUTTING DOWN FORGE DOES NOT
 CRIPPLE CITY.
Sanitary and Street Employees Will Be Able to Maintain Present Standard of Results, Despite Laying
 OH Process.

The cutting down of the number of laborers in the Sanitary Department of the city will not seriously affect the operations. 1t is said. of the sani- tary inspectors and garpage. tenders. In the course of the last week only about eight of the employees have been discharged, and these can be replaced easily by the greatest activity of the others employed in the same offices as those on the discharged list.
 The work in the Sanitary Depart ment during the past few summer weeks has been active and productive of much good, the result being that the city is now in as good sanitary con dition as ever before in its history.
 "The good results obtained by the department in the past month"; Chief Clerk Crossland said yesterday, "are to be kept up. We will probably have to exert ourselves a little harder In warmer weather, but we expect to keer up good sanitation" <
 The street gang, which has been ma- terially reduced. will also be able to give entire satisfaction.
 '"rhe winter rush with it's rains and inconveniences," Mayor Teague said yesterday, 'is now over, which fact makes the work lighter than prev iously. We expect to get along nicely in spite of the reductions, as much as they are regretted"
 In all about thirty employees have been temporarily discharged. pending a better financial condition. Mayor Teague spent great deaf of yesterday in conference with Alder en Lobman Chairman of the Finance Committee, and with other members of the City Council. It is thought that a meeting of the City Council will probably be called for tomorrow night. at which time the treasury situation will be discussed and legislated on.

Texas. 1t will be . matter of gravest concern to every policy holder In any of the old line companies. Their poll tcfes. of course, would continue in force, but the situation would serious ly hamper them and the company in the discharge of the business between them. For instance, we have several times every week the premium of some man to fall due. which cannot be con veniently paid. We know the man personally and know that he is good. We take his note and he pays the pre- mium when 1t is convenient. If the Legislature drives the company from the State this cannot be done. The home office in Philadelphia or New York, when a premium falls due, knows nothing about the men who owes It.. It does not know whether the man is good or not. It only knows that the premium is due and must be paid.
 Again. take the case of loss and the collection of the policy. The ben- eficiary of the policy will have to se- lect an agent to whom she wants the money paid in the city of the home office. The beneficiary must depend upon this agent for the making of the proofs direct to the home office. On the other hand, the agents of the com panies, as long as they remain in the State are convenient and they are ac- comodating in the making Of proof and in the payment of the losses. These, however. are o2ly few of the hard ships that would be worked by law which would drive the life companies out of the State.
 There would be three sufferers from such a law. the Alabama agents. the policy holders and the companies. but the agents and the policy holders would suffer more than the companies"
 IL was pointed out by another insur- ance man yesterday that most of the building development of Birmingham had been accomplished on money loan ed at low rate by the life insurance companies This money was loaned voluntarily. If the companies are leg islated out of Alabama this feature oi the deyelopment of Birmingham. and not only Birmingham. but of Mont gomery, Mobile and other cities, would necessarily cease.

 Birmingham. June 10,-(SpeciaD.-- A stick of dynamite was thrown into the room of John Williams. negro at woodlawn at o'clock this morning and the explosion not only demolished the room but severely injured the ne- gro. The explosion was heard for many blocks and Sheriff Higdon, who resides in Woodlawn, hastened to the scene with blood hounds in the hopes of get ting a trail of the perpetrator of the deed.
 The fumes from the explosive were so great that the dogs could not get scent to follow and nothing could be done.
 The negro was carried to the Hill man hospital where 1t was found nee essary to amputate one of his hands and give other attention.
 The sheriff has an idea as to who placed the dynR~dSo and thorough investigation is being made. The ne- gro's wife was not injured in the ex- plosion.

 The Birmingham postoffice was today officially notified that beginning with the close of the quarter ending June S0. all funds from fourth class pBtoiiices in the state will be deposited here. The order is @ far-reaching one as more than fifteen hundred postomces will be affected.
 Under the system that at present prevails the Birmingham office is the depository for the postal funds of the fourth-class postoffices of thirty-one counties in the state. The Montgom- cry office Is the depository for twenty two counties and the Mobile office for twelve counties. It will be seen that the importance of the local office will be greatly enhanced and that it's work will be largely increased.
 All rural route carriers through out the state of Alabama are now paid from the office here. On account of the increase in salary which the car riers receive on July 1, 1t Is found nee essary by the department to concen- trate the postal funds at Birmingham in

Holds that Telegraph Companies Have
 Right to Provide Regulations
 Which Become Part of a Con-
 tract.
 New York. June s.--The Judgment obtained by Halstead and Company about year ago. for s2.49S45 against the Postal Telegraph Gable O., for an error in the transmission of a message. which attracted considerable notice at the time in the press has been re- versed by the appellate division, the court holding that the person receiving telegram Is bound by the terms and conditions. the same as person send ing the telegram is bound
 The court in its opinion said
 Tt Is not disputed that the message herein involved was an unrepeated message and the learned court charg-
 ed the jury that. as between the sender and the company. this was valid and lawful limitation by con- tract but he charged that it did not limit the rights of the plaintiffs, evi- dently upon the theory that the de- fendants were liable to the plaintiffs for the actual damages sustained and 1t is this broad question going to the substance of the action which we be- iieve constitutes the fatal error in the case"
 The court accordingly reversed the Judgment and approved decision of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts In a similar case, where the court said:
 There is nothing in this regulation which tends to embarrass or hinder the free use of the telegraph or to impose on those having occasion to transact or receive messages onerous or im- practicable duty.
 If the defendant in the case involy- ed had been obliged to receive and transmit the message without regula- tions then it would assume its common law obligations, but having the right to mako regulations ana being under no obligations to accept the message for transmission unless the parties in terested agreed to abide by such rea- sonable regulations. and 1t appearing that the sender did sign the blank provided by the company and which contained the limitations above mem toned, 1t must be presumed that the company undertook the duty only as thus limited by its reasonable regli- tations and whether the action Is deemed to rest upon the contract of the sender to result from a breach of duty the limitation upon the amount | of damages to be recovered being req sonable the plaintiff has no standing to maintain this action unless he is the real principal in the transaction and then only to the extent Of the amount paid for the transmission of the mes- sage"

Sheriff BeIser Secures Writ of Habeas
 Corpun for Mnn at Evergreen.

Sheriff Belser Is making strenuous efforts to have the negro, Isom Lowery, who is now in jail at Evergreen. brought to the Montgomery jail. as he is wanted here on two indictments charging him with assault with in- tent to murder A writ of habeas cor pus was secured Saturday by Sheriff Belser to obtain possession of the ne- gro. Chancellor Parks will hear the proceedings some time this week.
 Lowerys arrest was effected at Ev- ergreen, but when Deputy Sheriff Nor man went there for his prisoner, the authorities refused to turn him over to the Montgomery officer. His case had been appealed from Conecuh Coun- ty to the Supreme Court, notwithstand- ing the fact that there was no charge against the negro in that county.
 Sheriff Belser expects to win his point and Lowery win very probably be brought back to Montgomery this week.

 vile, William R. White, father of tho two little children who figured in the sensational shooting of Detective Samuel A. Hamilton. filed a petition in the chancery court asking for the GUS tody of the children. The petition is directed against Annie M. White. alias Annie NJ.
