New Record At Steel MIL.

New records were established last night
in the rail mill and blooming mill at the
steel plant of the United States Steel cor
poration. These departments turned out
a greater tonnage for one hours run
than ever before accomplished. The rail
mill turned out 100 tons and the bloom
ing mill los tons. A few months ago so
or 60 ton in one hour was considered
phenomenal. The record made last night
is very gratifying to the management and
to those in actual charge of these depart
ments. Not only is the output of the mill
being increased, but a better quality of
steel is being made. Those who are ia
miliar with steel making in different parts
of the country unhesitatingly say the Ems
ley steel is the best in the world.

Montgomery. February G-(Special.)-
That on small things important events

case of Richard Wray, on appeal from
the criminal court of Birmingham. Ray
is under 10-year sentence for the killing of
George Freeman. Over the protest Of
the defense, C. S. Lansdowne was al
lowed to testify while on a cot and very

not be safe to the witness to be thus

rested, taking exception to questions by

now sends it back for new trial

both of which are said to be in violation
OF the constitution. Gregory l.. Smith
of Mobile, John p Tillman of Birming-
ham and John c. Eyester of Decatur are
arguing for the opposers of the law. For
mer Chief Justice S. d. Weakley of

and its legality. Other cases attacking
the local option law are here from JEFF

bring untold disgrace and misery on
their innocent offspring, may, l think,
be ameliorated to some extent by the
legislative and judicial departments OF
the respective state governments with
out an amendment to the federal con-
stitution, which is the only complete
remedy for this crying evil, and with
out abandoning their respective public

A Three Star PLAY,

Paul Gilbert has wired his manager,
Jules hurry, from London, telling him
of a play he had seen containing parts
for the three hurry stars, and ask
ing permission to tie it up for next sea-
son. The play in question has a part
well suited to Gilmore's frank, ingen-
uous nature, and the other two call
for a singing coincidence of the Flor
ence Gear type and a young scholar
ly chap, a bit of the old school, but
genuinely fine, for Norman Hackett.
Mr.. hurry says he would not be at all
averse to sending out three stars in
one production provided the play was
strong enough to carry them. He has
cabled for the manuscript and for the
refusal of the American rights for 1909
1910.
