NEGRO WOMEN MEET
WILL TRY TO RAISE FUNDS FOR
 NEGRO REFORsfAToRY.
Wife of Booker Washington and Cor nelia Bowen to Address Gathering At Old Ship Church
 Tonight

The negro women of Montgomery, at a mass meeting planned to be held to- night in the old Ship A. M. E. Church, on the corner of Mildred and Holcombe Streets. will endeavor to collect money to construct buildings for a reformatory for negro boys. The members of the negro women's clubs in Alabama have already purchased and paid for twenty acres of land near Mt Meigs, and it is intended that the reformatory, which will be similar in purpose to the Boys Industrial School at East Lake, will be built there.
 The wife of Booker T. Washington, and Cornelia Bowen, principal of the Fort Meigs Institute at Waugh, and president of the State Federation of Negro Women's Clubs, will be the prin- cipAI speakers.
 A we'll known negro preacher of Montgomery stated last night that 1t was the purpose of the organizers and maintainers of the movement, to found a reformatory school to which negro boys. convicted of minor offenses against the law, could be sent and trained to be good and useful citizens. Industrial training. the usual scholas- tic education and moral betterment would be the endeavors of the institu- ton.

ALAsKAs BIG BEARS.
The Largest Flesb-Eating Animals in
 the World.

me WOEk0s
 Very few persons really know that the largest hesh-eating animals in the world are found in America. Peo- pie generally believe that the African lion is the king of beasts, but he is not nearly as large or as powerful an, animal as the large blown bear of subarctic America
 The bears are not as ferocious or cumulative as the lions, nor are they nearly as vicious as they are given sredit for being, but the largest of them are much larger and more powerful than any of the lions. It is safe to say that the largest of the brown bears of the North would weigh three times as much as the largest speciman of lion, aand is beyond all question greatly superior in strength.
 If brought together in combat, the bear would at first appear,very clumsy asys Scribners Magazine. It would not be capable of the quick rush or the catlike spring of the lion.
 It would not attack, but would re- main entirely on the defensive, meet ing it's adversary with blows of such Fapidity and terrific force as at once to illustrate its superiority not only in strength, but in action. I do not believe that there is an animal in the world that can act more quickly or ef- ACCbANSAy, dlLl US DlOWS WlLn greater certainty than the bear
 The large brown bears of the Alas ka Peninsula. south of the Boring Sea, are among the largest bears of the world, and 1t is evident that there is no part of the worId outside of Amer lac in which such large fesh- eating animals are found. The bears are f1esh- eaters, or carnivorous, yet there are none of them that depend upon flesh for food, and with most of them flesh comprises but a vehy small per centage of their food.

SHIPPERS GETTING
COMPLAINTS READY
REMOVAL OF COMMODITY RATES
HAS AROUSED A STORM OF OBJ
JECTIoN-EVIDENc WILL GO
BEFORE RAILROAD COMMISSION

1t is stated on good authority that sew
eral companies are preparing to file com
plants against the railroads for the re-
cent change in some rates. The claims
will be filed before the railroad commits
sion, and following that the roads will
probably decide on what policy will be
pursued in regard to the laws passed at
the session of the legislature which has
just adjourned.
SO far none of the railroads have de-
cided, SO it is said what course to pur-
sue in regard to certain legislation,
whether they will fight 1t through the
courts. 1t is stated that the roads be-
lieve some of the legislation is uncon-
stitutional, and some of 1t unjust TO them,
and that they may not submit tamely
to it.
Several manufacturing companies which
were affected by the recent cutting off
of all commodity rates by some of the
roads in Alabama are securing evidence
to place before the commission. 1t is a
well known fact that when the railroads
became aware that the maximum freight
rate bill provided that rates which were
effective on a certain date should be the
maximum which they could charge they
chopped off number of commodity rates
which were in effect. They did this, 50 it
was stated, because those rates were in
mary instances put in for the purpose of
helping some small or new industry, ard
the roads claimed they could not afford
to let these rates stand as the maxi
mum.

MORE BIRMINGHAM
MEN ARE MISSING
WITHIN THE PAST WEEK FIVE
MEN HAVE BEEN REPORTED
LosT-AlL Disappeared WITH
MONEY ON PERSON.

Birmingham would seem to be develop
ing into a street fair maize" During
the last week no less than five men have
been reported to police heacquarters as
lost OF late the number of missing and
mysterously killed has become alarming,
and it has been limited that some hidden
forces are at work in Birmingham.
Northern cities find nothing peculiar
in such record, but to Birmingham 1t
is something unusual.
The two reported yesterday were j. A.
Bemer, aged 35 years, with red hair and
mustace and D. o. Leary IS years of age,
and living at 626 North Nineteenth street.
Mr. Bemer was last seen in the Wood
ward bar on the Sd of this month. At
the time he had S175 on his person, and
his people are afraid of four play. Not
once in four days has he been heard Of.
Leary left home on the 9Th and has not
returned. lie also carried large roll of
money.
Whether any Of the others have re-
turned to their homes is not known, as
no report has been made Of such at head
quarters. The highway robbers who did
away with the unknown man now lying
at an undertakers may have claimed
some other victims.

BIRMINGHAM WILL
NOT Be INJURED
Senator LuSk Discusses Acts of
Legislature
NEW GENERAL PRIMARY LAW
viii Be One of the Most Important
Matters to Come Before the Split
session-LeslsIators
Worn Out.
NEW GEM RAL PRIMARY LAW

a general primary law, fixing a uni
form date for the elections. providing
for their being held under state 1uris-
diction and regulating other features, will
be introduced at the split session of the
legislature. 1t Is one of the planks n the
platform and will be considered one of
the platform or administration bills
Senator John A. Lusk spent yesterday
in Birmingham, en- route to his home in
Guntersville. and discussed this bill among
other matters of interest in the egisla-
ture. He said:
Among the platform bills-I prefer to
call them platform bills instead az adj
ministration bills-will be that regulating
primaries to be called general primary
law. 1t was In the platform and 1t is one
of the few matters in the platform that
has not been carried out.
This bill will provide that the SRI
maries shall be held under state law and
that the state shall bear the expense
of them. They shall be held ON a uniform
date in all places, and the state will
have entire charge.
II consider this one of the important
measures that will come up in the split
session. We have passed practically all
of the platform bills with that exception,
although there are several small things
in the platform that we did not have
time to get through at the first session.
Eyes, / think that there will prob
ably be an extra session of the legisla
ture. If the governor thinks that 1t is
necessary we will certainly have one. IL
we cannot finish the business at the split
%ssion we will have an extra session.
There are only thirteen days in the split
session, but l do not believe it will be
unlucky on that account
II do not think that any of the legisla-
ton we passed will hurt the Birmingham
district. The railroads and others brought
1t all on themselves. If there is any strln-
gent or radical legislation, they are to
blame.
