SUCCESS IN MOBILE
sUmArRA TOBACCO or BEST KIND
 GROWN.
MT. Trunk of Company Writes secre- fnrv Dave That the Enterprise
 is Past the Experiment GtaRe.


 The Alabama Commercial and In- dustrial Association has. as an out come of the Sumatra experiment. sta- tion at Brewton, received the foiiow- ing letter from the Mobile County nu- matra Tobacco Company. In view of the successful experiments that have now been made in Mobile. Barbour ana Escambia Counties, 1t looks as though Alabama would shortly take a position of great importance in tho raising ot shaded sumatra tobacco for wrappers of high grade cigars.
 J. NJ. Trunk of Chunchula writes of 1t as follows:
 T can say that our crop of sumatra wrappers is a splendid prospect. lt does my heart good everytime l look at it. The texture of the leaf Is the finest imaginable. and the form per- feet. When say this it Is from the standpoint of the manufacturers, as we'll as that of the grower. for the form or shape Of the wrapper ieaf has much to do with the man that works if. It Is what you can cut out of 1t that the manufacturer looks for, next to the burn. And we have got the goods that burn. put this in capi- tals because that has really been the only thing that kept me awake nights because if tobacco does not burn nice white ash 1t is all over with the sale of 1t.
 Therefore you can imagine the de- gree of whatever you might call It when made the first cigar and stood ready to apply the torch. If nothing unforeseen happens we will be strictly in It and a big success. "our five acres will yield think 5000 pounds. Up to date we have not found a horn worm nor the eggs, which is something remarkable

PLAINTIFFS ATTORNEYS SAY
 CONTRACT WAS VIOLATED
City Court Scene of Big Legal
 Fight.
rAs Frsnehise Tax Is Attacked From several auarters-Defended By Attorneys Who Represented TAs ssass In .Ths Federal
 Court Latisation.

Attorneys for both the State and the railroads yesterday appeared in the civil division of the city court in the case of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. the Central of Georgia Rail- road. the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and the Seaboard Air Line Railroad against J. B. Gaston as Probate Judge of Montgomery County for the recovery of the franchise tax assessed under the recent law of the legislature and paid hy the railroads under protest and agreement that the payment would be contested in suit.
 While the case was called for 10 o'clock 1t was not until 11:4s o'clock when H. c. SeIheimer opened the case for the State. The delay was caused by the Iateness of Mir. Selheimer's train from Birmingham
 The case Involves the question of the constitutionaIity of the law under which the tax paid to the Probate Judge was collected. During the month of February the Louisville and Nashville road paid it's check of S2s,- 669s2; tho Atlantic Coast Line s6.24S, the Central of Georgia $11,37i.44; the 6eaboard Air Line, $1,70s.ss, the total s43.217.s1, and the suit started yester- day is for the recovery of these checks, Al sthe time that the checks were paid in, an agreemen was made with the probate judge that he should make no accounting with either the state treas ury or with the country treasury until suit had been brought and decided.
 Why UnconstifutiOnal,
 The case is being argued upon an act of the recent Legislature which has the caption: "An act to provide for revenue of the state by requiring all foreign corporations authorized to do business in the state under the laws of the State of Alabama to pay an an- nual franchise tax"
 The plaintiff claims. 1. that the act is unconstitutional and void, because it is in conflict with (a) sections 31l. 21l, 2l5 and 217 of the constitution of the State. (bl. With the 10th article of section of the constitution of the United States. Co with the Fourteenth AfaAndnent of the United States. 3. Thak the second section of the act is anconstituttonal because as to it the act

Engines for Fire Barges

Editor Call-Sir: In the various dis
cussions of a fire barge system at San
Francisco there is the assumption that
steamer turbine engines are required
for impulsion and that such engines
can not be made here.
Such engines are, in the writer's
opinion, neither essential nor desirable.
and a better scheme is to employ plain
steam engines of the inverted marine
type, compound, such as are made in
good form at any of our local works
The speed can be 200 to 800 revolu-
tions per minute and the pumps (rota-
tive) can be adapted by series to pro-
duce any required pressure.
In this manner the whole will be
simple, well understood and certain in
action.
I have, in sletter to Mr.. Manson,
called his attention to this matter and
hope to see it discussed in future con-
sideration of the subject.
My interest in this matter is from
having nearly two years ago presented
a paper to the Technical society sug-
gesting this fire barge system. a paper
that was widely discussed at the time

Chicago View of Victory of
Judge Frank Dunno
SAN FRANCIsCo's BRAVE VICTORY
Chicago Evening Post

Chicago Evening Post
San Francisco claims one of the great
moral victories of the election. Su-
perior Judge Frank H. Dunno, whose
brave record in the graft trials caused
the Herrin- Calhoun-Rue machine to
deny him a Republican denomination
ran Independently and was reelected
to the bench.
1t was magnificent triumph for the
people. Against Dunno was every
power of party organization and special
privilege. He was the one unshakable
and insurmountable rock of justice that
stood in the path by which the forces
of corruption hoped to lead the fight of
Langdon, Heney and Spreckels to
nothingness. His rightful place on his
party ticket the bosses brazenly gave
to Judge Cook, man whose decisions
had made him extremely popular among
| the criminal classes and also among
that powerful element which stood for
Wide open town. This trick failed TO
work, and its failure was made the
more pronounced by the fact that the
same forces of evil secured from the
Ruei labor leaders a nomination for
Cook on the union labor ticket.
Yet Cook lost and Dunno won by
| 1000 votes. And, while they were about
it,, the voters of San Francisco and the
state nailed direct primary plank into
the California constitution, taking into
Rtheir own hands the matter of judicial
and other nominations in the future
| On the coast they hail the victory of
Judge Dunno as of a piece with the vic
tory of Governor Hughes And they
are right. AS The Call truly says:

Judge Cook makes San Francisco mean
more in the estimation of the nation
than does even the 10000 given Secre-
tary Taft"
