PLAN NEW, TRAIN
 FOR SHEFFIELD
Daily Service Will Be Maintained to Handle Coke From Little
 ton Field.

The Southern railway will establish a through freight service to Sheffield about May l to take care of the coke and coal movement between those two places.
 There will be daily service each way, and it is stated that the trains will be two of the most important that the Southern could establish in this district. The trains going north will carry great deal of coke and coal for the Sloss-Shef- field Steel and Iron company furnaces at Sheffield, and the southbound train will be able to bring back a large number of empties from the furnaces to the ovens and mines of the company.
 This train is one that the officers of the Sloss company have ben seeking for a year or more, and they stated yesterday that it would be of great advantage to them. The company has about twenty loads of coke and coal per day from Lit t1eton or that neighborhood to Sheffield and frequent complaint has been made of the slowness with which 1t was handled to Sheffield. It is believed that this train will remedy the trouble and make it possible to move all this business every day and return the empties every night If this is done it will not require more than one-half or one-third of the cars which have been tied up in this move- ment in the past.

REAL ESTATE MEN
 WANT CHEAP MONEY
Oppose High Tax Levied on
 Foreign Capital
ASK MAYOR TO HOLD UP
Claim Installation of Plumbing In the Cheap Negro and Tenement Houses Is Too Expensive-Resolu-
 tons Are Passed.

The law passed by the recent legsla- money on real estate and Improvements in Alabama was attacked by the Birming- ham Real Estate associa ton at big meeting held yesterday afternoon in the Commercial club rooms.
 A resolution was passed by the associa- tion setting forth that cheap money was essential to the progress and develop ment of all Alabama. and the Birming- ham district in particular, and that cheap money was needed in the state and this district.
 The resolution. after setting forth sev- eral reasons, says that it is the sense of the Birmingham Real Estate associa- tion that it is the duty as an association, and the duty of the members individually, to do all honorable in their power to have this law repealed as it is injurious to the best interests of the city. county, dis triet and state.
 The association also passed resolution requesting the Mayor and aldermen to hold up the enforcement of the law re- quiring the installation of cess pools or sinks in all negro and tenement houses. X committee, consisting of w. B. Leedy w. G. Oliver, M. P. Messer, T. H. Notion and George Bilbe. was appointed to ap- pear before the police and sanitation committee of the council this afternoon to have the ordinance held up. The real estate men contend that it is unjust and too expensive a matter for cheap negro houses and tenements.
 The two subjects. up for consideration were discussed by a number of those present, among whom were President Yancey, Leo Steiner, MT. Kyser of Otto Marx & Co.,. Henry Howze, attorney for the associations T. II. Motion. w. B. Leedy. A R. Dearborn, M. P. Messer and J. H. Heineke.

GRADE CROSSINGS
 BEFORE COUNCIL
THE SESSION TOMORROW NIGHT PROMISES TO BE SHORT-DIVES AND CHEAP RESTAURANTS TO RECEIVE ATTENTION.

The City Council will meet in regular session tomorrow night at o'clock. Since the days have become longer the hour has been advanced from 7.SO p. m. This will probably be one of the shortest of the year.
 The most important matter to come up will probably be the report of the railway now the lvest issue on the boards. The crossings at Twenty-third street and Ninth avenue will be among those re- ceving attention.
 It Is also understood that plans are on foot to form a commission consisting of city officials to look after the old dives and cheap restaurants that are becoming g a plague on the streets.
 The finance committee will meet in the afternoon, when numerous bills will be Mayor Ward has also called the Judiciary, street, sanitary and police, as well as the miscellaneous committees for Wednes- day afternoon.
 The elections are now practically over, and the city officials intend to settle down to regular work making systematic changes and Improvements wherever nec- essary. All of the departments are now working smoothly. The sanitary officer reports unusual success in enforcing the laws The police department still has a petition before the council for an increase of the force, but action on this matter will more than likely be postponed untll after the new commission takes office.
