Promise of large crowds for the public health conference at the city hall tonight threatens to overrun the hall Every citizens, and especially all city officials, are invited. In speaking of the confer ence Dr. w L. Wyman said last night
 "We desire to call attention to the conference of the constituted health au- thorities of the state. which will be held in this city tonight at the city hall. It is a meeting of great importance and one which we believe will accomplish much good in educating our state, county and city officials to the responsible duties which they have to preform in connec- tion with the preservation of the public health.
 "There is no more important work which can engage the attention of our city and county authorities than that of a study of our health laws and the best means of enforcing them During the present week the state board Of health are making a tour of the state and holding public health conferences in several of the larger cities. These meet ings are open to the public and are chief lv educational in their character They are held for the purpose of acquainting the state, city and county officials as well as the public at large with the present health laws of the state and the interchange of views as to the best meth

The City Council met in the city hall returns of the Greater Birmingham election. No other business was trans acted except the reading of a letter from W. A.

Service Is Begun Through the Tunnel
 To Brooklyn.

New York, January 9.-Serviee in the tunnel by which New York subway trains were run to Brooklyn today for the first time was more than ample to carry the early morning rush of passengers from Brooklyn to the offices and stores in Manhattan. Throughout the rush hours eight-car trains were run at intervals of about three minutes. Not passenger was compelled to stand up in any of the rush-hour trains
 Whether the diversion of traffic by this new line caused any considerable lessen ing of the morning rush the bridge is doubtful. The usual delays in reach ing the city by that method were experi- enced by passengers this morning. One reason for the absence of a crowd from the tunnel service is the fact that the subway trains run only a short distance into the heart of Brooklyn and that there is no transfer arrangement between the subway and the Brooklyn surface and elevated lines.

TAYLOR TOO BUSY
 ID FAT HIS DINNER Oughnut and Glass of Milk At Terminal Station t. .EsY LITTLE TO SAY He Says Reason Hs Did Not Oppose Hlndley Was That He Never
 Mixes In Republican
 Politics.
4 FRY LITTLE TO SAY

After making his address at the Com mercial club yesterday at noon, Congress- man George W. Taylor of the First Ala bama district was eloseted for several hours with business men, afterwards con- sulting with an Anniston party who vis- tied Birmingham to interview him.
 Therefore, when he realized that he had but a few moments in which to catch hls train, he realized simultaneously thar no had missed his dinner The first things performed by the congressman, therefore, on arriving at the Terminal station, were to inquire concerning his train, and to take a few nasty mouthfuls at a lunch counter.
 It was between a bite of a doughnut and a sip of a glass of milk that an Age-Her- aid representative spoke to the congress- man. Hesitating just long enough to swallow his milk in a gulp, the distin- gushed Alabamian declared tersely:
 CT am sorry that I have nothing to tell YOU. As soon as l finished talking to the audience in the Commercial club has tened to fill several engagements, and having had no dinner, am tired and hun gry Do you realize what it is to be hungry?" And the congressman was rav- enously devouring his viands. At that interval other newspaper men approached Greeting them courteously, but without stopping his dinner. he discussed ages and the war. It developed from this con- versation that Congressman Taylor had entered the service of the Confederacy at the tender age of 13, and that his brothers and uncles fought in that memorable struggle, some of them dying gallantly on the field of battle before their twentieth birthdays.
 The congressman then arose. paid for his meal and hastily departed for the train. As he squeezed through the gates at the station, he was asked the follow ing;
 What are the prospects concerning rivers and harbors?'
 Really, I cannot tell you. l was ap- pointed to that committee only last Mon- day, and since that time have not been in Washington. Really. I can tell you nothing"
 At this point the train was reached. Just before Congressman Taylor put his foot on the step. another question was propounded:
 DO you think Judge Hundleys nomina- ton will be confirmed?''
 As is remembered. Congressman Taylor was one of the two Alabama congress- men who did not enter a protest against Judge Hundley's nomination being con- firmed.
 Really" he answered tersely and in a sentence, q can't tell you. never mix in republican battles. and prefer that they fight their differences out among them { selves. And I don't want to be quoted About it. either"
 At that time the train pulled out, and Congf assman Taylor leaped abroad. He went to c-adsden. The only possible de- ducton that could be drawn from his few sharp statements was his reason for not entering with tbe other Alabama con gressmen in protesting against the conir- nation of the Hundlty nomination.

ods of carrying out these laws and inn proving the health conditions in the vari- ous counties of the state.
 Alabama now has upon her statute books a complete system of health laws, which have no superior in the United States. We are informed that at a recent national health conference held in Chi cago, Alabama's system of health laws were highly commended and pronounced by men who are in position to know to be the hest system to be found in any state in the union. This is indeed high praise and speaks well for those who formulated them Unfortunately these health laws are not well understood by the city and county officials whose duty it is to see that they are enforced. Un- der the present law in this state the care and preservation of the public health is very properly and wisely entrusted to the organized medical profession in the state. who elect a state board of health, whose duty it is to exercise supervision over all health matters in the state. This board is doing valuable work and we hope there will be a large attend ance at the conference tonight.
 With the organization of a Greater Bir- mingham many problems of sanitation must be worked out and it is incumbent mon city and county officials to realize the serious responsibilities which rest up- on them"

HARTMAN AGAIN
 GOES INTO COURT Another Suit Is fled In Answer
 to Fish'S Charges
HOSTILITY TOWARD FISH
Hartman and Associates Declare That Actions of Deposed Illinois Gen. traI President Led To
 Their Legal Steps.

Chicago, January 9.-With the implied purpose of controverting the charges made by Stuyvesant Fish in his suit to enjoin the voting of 2S1 ,2S1 shares of stoei. of the Illinois Central railway held by the Union Pacific Railroad company and by the Railway Securities company, an answer by the Illinois Central Railroad company was filed in the superior court in this city today. Accompanying the answer were afhdavits by Edward II. Hartman Walter Lutgen, John Jacob Astor, Alexander G. Hackstatf, Cornelius Vanderbilt, John W. 4,uchincloss, Robert Walton Goelet and Charles A. Peabody.
 The documents admit the existence of hostility toward MT. Fish, but it is de- clared that this hostility is due to the actions of MT. Fish in beginning the liti- gation. Goelet and Peabody each deny that Hartman dominates and influences them. Hartman ayers that he does not dominate or influence Goelet or Peabody or any of the directors of the Illinois Central
 Each of the affiants denies having voted prejudically to the interests of the Illi- nois Central Railroad company and de- clares the only dealings had between that company and the Union Pacific Rail- road company within the last two years have been agreements for their tracks and the use of the station of the Union
 Pacific at Omaha, both of which were recommended, it is pointed out, by Mir. Fish for the interchange of traffic and division of rates in which it is said no changes has been made or proposed with ing year.
 been futile for MT. Fish to have made application to the directors to bring suit, as alleged by Mr. Fish. It is denied that a majority of the directors had been ad vised when suit was begun by Mir Fish, or that they would have regarded the | bringing of the suit as a groundless and | veXatlous action"
 | MT. Hartman and others deny that they
 entertain such personal hostility against | MT. Fish as would have made them vote ! against any resolution t) bring suit, if | they regarded the bringing of such suit ! as being for the best interests of the H. l linois Central Railroad company They ! insist that much of the hostility now ex- | isting is due to the bringing of the suit ! and to the charges made against them. In the answer of the railroad company | it is set forth that there is no knowledge 1 of an alleged plan to dominate or control
 it or to control interstate commerce, and
 so eliminate competition. In conclusion,
 the answer asks that the inquiry be dis | missed insofar as the railroad is con 1 cerned in the litigation.
