VICE PRESIDENT C. r. GRAY SAYS
THEIR PART WILL COST 100000
AND MONEY is HARD TO GET
NOW.

c. r. Gray, vice president of the Frisco,
who was a member of party of officials
spending several hours In Birmingham
yesterday. is interested keenly in the
present discussion in this city concern
ing the matter of grade crossings.
When seen yesterday morning he had
read The Age Herald in which President
Ewing of the Board of Trade and Rich
ard w. Massey, chairman of the rail-
roads and transportation committee of
the Commercial Club, were strongly in
favor OF abolishing that which they
termed a perpetual evil and source of
danger to human lives.
Mr. Gray is in favsr of viaducts sue
ceeding grade crossings, but declares that
the people should realize that all evils
cannot be repaired in a day He referred
to the fact that at the present time
the railroads were practically without
funds. He stated, however, that the en-
gineering corps of the system had been
instructed to look into the proposition
and declared that viaducts would be con-

UNIQUE SUITS
FILED IN COURT

Two suits containing rather unusual
averments were filed in the county
courts yesterday.
In the city court Dave NJ. Griswold
has filed suit against Claud ID. Ritter,
claiming $4,000 damages for an alleged as
sault and battery which is said to have
been committed on September II, 1908.
This suit grows out of the sensational
affair which occurred in the second di-
vision of the criminal court some time
ago when Griswold was on trial. Ritter
is alleged to have hit him over the head
with an iron bar.
Suit was filed in the circuit court yes
etrday by Samuel Hamburger and Mrs.
Annie Hamburger, his wife. against Frank
Kanapa and his wife, the plaintiffs claim
ing $4,000 damages each for an alleged
assault and battery said to have been
committed on Mrs. Hamburger. The
plaintiff AYERS that the defendant did
beat, wound and injure Mrs. Hamburger
and that a dog of the defendants did
bite the plaintiff"

structed as soon as the road saw it's
way clear. Mr.. Gray discussed the mat
ter freely and without hesitation. He die
tated the following statement:
The Frisco system has been con-
sdering the viaduct question for some
time with the view of constructing via
ducts in Birmingham for the safety of
the people. We have instructed our en-
gineering department to look thoroughly
into the proposition and we hope TO &C
complish something of a definite nature
in very snort space of time.
Such gigantic propositions must be be-
gun slowly, continued gradually and
worked out in systematic and conser-
vative manner.
Now Just at this time, as everyone
konws the treasures of the railroads are
practically without funds to begin any
extensive and expensive improvements
We trust the people will realize this
fact and willingly allow us time to make
the necessary plans and raise the neces-
sary money.
you may rest assured that we will
build the viaducts as soon as we see our
way clear 1t should be remembered that
a viaduct of the nature that Birmng-
ham will demand will cost every cent
of $4,000 This is a considerable sum
and at the present time one which can
be raised only with the greatest diff

LIVE SESSION FOR
COUNCIL TONIGHT
GOOD CROWD is EXPECTED TO BE
PRESENT TO HEAR THE RE-
PORTS MADE BY lNVEsTIGAT-
ING COMMITTEES.

The City Council meets tonight.
The meeting promises to be one of great
interest. and on account of the fact that
reports of three committees concerning
verdicts in reference to charges against
three aldermen will be made the attend
ance will be large.
Chairman B. H. Cooper of the Ave-
nue. D investigating committee, will read
the resolution adopted by that commit
tee to the effect that Alderman Klotz was
guilty of conduct unbecoming an alder
man. Alderman Heidi, chairman of the
Eleventh ward investigating committee,
will report the verdict of that commit
tee to the effect that Alderman Forney
was guilty of official misconduct. Chair
man F'ulghum of the judiciary committee,
instructed to inquire into the matter of
Alderman Greener's employment by the
Birmingham Railway. Light and Power
company, will report the resolution of that
committee to the effect that inasmuch as
Alderman Greener has resigned his posi-
ton with the corporation he does not
vacate his seat on the board. The coun-
ell will either adopt or reject these re-
ports.
Another matter of interest coming be-
fore the board will be the report of the
city democratic executive committee to
the effect that A. A. Gambill has failed
to sustain his contest against the nomina
ton of Asa l.. Hoyt for the position of
alderman of the Third ward. 1t is un-
derstood that a minority report will be
made by certain members of the commit
tee to the effect that the report was not
just one on account of the impossible
ity of getting into the general election
box of the Third ward.
AS to whether or not the council will
proceed to elect one of the applicants or
whether the council will begin a little
investigation of its own is matter of
doubt.

HIGH SCHOOL TO
PLAY SYNODICAL

The Alabama Presbyterian college of
Admission and the Birmingham High
school will battle for the preparatory
football championship of the state Sat
urday afternoon at West End park
Both schools having rafting good teams
and while the odds favor the High school
to win the result is still matter of
doubt. The game promises to be interest
ing, hard fought, fast and brilliant.
The High school has defeated every
other team save Admission having "a right
to lay claim to the prep championship
and has even played Birmingham college
a tied game.
This battle Saturday afternoon between
little giants will probably close the local
season and it will draw well beyond ques-
ton.

MI MEROUS FIST
FIGHTS YESTERDAY
CLIFF cAHooN BADLY CUT IN AN
ARRAY IN FRONT OF THE ST.
NICHOLAS HOTEL LAST NIGHT.
W. E. SPARKS LOCKED UP.

Birmingham went ON a fighting ram
page yesterday there being nearly a
dozen fist fights and one serious cutting
scrape.
The cutting scrape occurred shortly be-
fore 8 O'Clock last night on Nineteenth
street in front of the st. Nicholas hotel,
Cliff Calhoon being slashed with knife
in the hands of ". f. Sparks. Cahoon's
wounds consist of a cut in the forehead
just above the eyebrows. a slight scratch
on the left shoulder and deep cut in
the back just below the ribs.
1t appears that Cahoon was talking to
a woman. who was seated in a carriage,
which had stopped in front of the st.
Nicholas poolroom. Sparks. 1t is said,
came up to the carriage and some words
were passed by the two men, the fight
following in a moment.
Cahoon was covered with blood from
his wounds and was taken to Adams
drug store and afterwards taken TO a
doctors office where his wounds were
dressed. Sparks was arrested and taken
to the county jail by Deputy Newt. Curl
Several small fist fights occurred dur
ing the afternoon, the cool day appearing
to get everybodys fighting blood up. No
serious consequences were reported from
any of them, however.
On amusing encounter, which amount
ed to nothing more than a battle of
words, occurred about o'clock in front
of the Brown-Marx building on First ave-
nue.. An exceptionally well dressed man
and a rather rough looking customer
were looking angrily at each other and
muttering strong words. Suddenly the
well dressed man said: You evidently
don't know who l am only to receive a
reply from the other fellow of, mo, and
l don't give a -
Then the well-dressed man stated his
name and added by way of parenthesis
that it wouldn't take him two seconds to
smash the other fellows face But this
didn't feaze the other man. who simply
stated, ''Well, I'm the original bunch of
- and birthstone and always burning
full blast"
This seemed to settle the other man.
for he turned and walked away.
