To SPEND
MILLIONS

NEW YORK, May lin spite
of Hills declarations that there is
no more money available with
which to equip railroads, estimates
for railroad expenditure this year
call for the investment of nearly a
billion dollars in expansion and i'm
provement. The extent of the work
planned depends only on the abil-
ity of the manufacturing plants to
fill the orders. Nearly 100000
freight cars are called for, with
$4,000 passenger coaches and 5000
locomotives.
An expenditure of almost $780,
600 900 is contemplated for steel
rail alone, which will call for $780,
600 tons. Western roads will use
100000 tons.
The Hartman lines have already
ordered 10000 tons of rails from
the Tennessee Coal & Iron Co.
They are to be used on the South
ern and Union Pacifics and repre-
sent an investment of $5,000,00O. J

POLICE COMMISSION
CALL FOR ELECTION TONIGHT BY
 COUNCIL.
That Will be Chief Matter of interest Before Adjourned Sessiou of City Fathers--Equalixatto
 -Election May be up.

Formal cali for the election of a Police Commission of Montgomery will be made at the adjourned meet ing of the City's Council tonight and lively parliamentary battle Is ex- pected. Recent trying out of strength when the election was proposed at various meetings indicated that those favoring an election were slightly in majority. but the difference is SO slight that a victory by the opponents would not be surprising.
 The last time the election of the commission was proposed the oppo- nents won a decided victory. The preponderance of actual voting strength lay with the aldermen who wished to elect commissioners at once but a clever parliamentary strat- egy in which Alderman J. Lee Hollo- way shone with particular glory won the victory for the antis, Mfr. Hollo- way finally getting the electi, indef- initely laid away. But when the smoke of battle cleared away Alder man N. Lobman announced that he would call the election at the next regular or special meeting of the Council. and the matter may come to a final decision tonight.
 There has been much dispute as to whether the creative act of the Legis- lature, by which the Police Commis- sion of Montgomery was established required a complementary ordinance by the City's Council, and the debates upon this judicial question have marked practically every proposal to elect. The constitutionality, also. of the creative act has been questioned and many variant opinions have been expressed.
 The Council will be asked by Alder man A. L. Tyson tonight to elect members of the County Board of Equalization. of which the city af lords two and the remainder of the county three members. At the last meeting MT Tyson announced that he would call the election.
 Other matters to be transacted are chiefly of routine character.

FRUIT CROP ENDANGERED.

 stiff wind blew all night. The trees are more advanced with foliage than ever known at this season of the year and this afforded the young fruit ample protection. Two of the largest and most success full peach orchards in the State are To- cated in this county and the loss of the crop would have amounted to thou sands of dollars. If no future acci- dents happen to the crop. it Is predict ed that it will be one of inc largest and finest on record. The peaches are already well formed and while the present cold weather may cause some to drop off, this would be beneficial as they are too thick.
 Some tender vegetables were killed by the cold weather, and it Is thought that a great deal of corn which had been planted will have to be ra planted al the weather has been very sever" on 1t.
