Straus said. But some Of the bloodiest
wars in history have been so-called re-

there could be no religious wars. They

GRAND JURY Is FORMED Is Directed to Go After
 the Gamblers. AFTER SUNDAY vIOLAToRs Charles L. Gay Made Foreman of
 the Jury. Judge Thomas Asked That Jury In- yestignte Gambling By Whites
 As wen as Negro crap-
 Shooters.

The grand jury of the February term of the City Court was yesterday, at noon. organized, by Judge w. H. Fifteen men responded to their names as the roll was called. Of this number two were excused for cause, and the sheriff was instructed to bring his list down to eighteen.
 Judge Thomas. in his charge, laid especial emphasis on Sunday violations and gambling. The charge made to the jury was not written, 'butNwas oral supplemented by asfew notes,
 The distinction in criminal law as to felonies and misdemeanors was sharp, ly drawn by the judge. If felony Twas committed there must be an in- dictment. IA the other case there is room for personal judgement, but the law must be executed.
 Particular emphasis was laid upon gambling by Judge Thomas. The jury should not go into the backwoods and indict all of the negroes for crap shoot ing and let the white men involved In other cases of gambling, so scot free They must be impartial and treat all cases with equal justice. :.
 As to the Sunday law and violations of 1t. the jury should be very careful and strike at the things which are vtt- al. Especial emphasis was laid upon this phase of the law.
 The rest of the charge was that us- uaIiy given to a grand jury. in that larceny. arson. carrying concealed weapons. were dealt with as before.
 The jury consists of the following gentlemen:
 c. l.. Gay, foreman; J. H. Kennedy E. S. Carroway, G. w. Dickey. M. A. Watts, J. M. Jones, I. F. Darden. A. ] Broadway, M. D. Pepperman, W. D. Witt, J. T. Moncrief, J. G. Morse, w. R. Waller, W. W. Frame. w. H. Rives. B G. Rike. W. H. Crusius and T. 8. Dowdell. ,.,

river carriers have never been able to make a through rate or joint rate with railroads or coastwise steamers They have made repeated efforts to get such rates. and especially through rates with the coastwise steamers but for reason never given these efforts have been absolutely futile.
 On Sthe general question of export traffic out of the Mobile harbor. MT. Craft. of the Mobile Commercial Club. testified that the port expected an op- portunity to do some business to the Isthmus of Panama. Ife had gone to New Orleans to meet with a represent alive body of men assembled to find out why the Southern ports were discrim- mated against by the purchasing bu. reau of the Panama Canal Commission. The commeFcial organizations of both New Orleans and Mobile as well as Pensacola. expect to come in for some of the traffic in spite of the disposition of the purchasers of canal supplies to turn the tide of traffic through New York. For instance. Mir Craft said Mobile bidders on supplying . lumber were at first subjected to the absurd ity of having their material inspected upon arrival on the Isthmus. Now, af- ter protest of the people interested. the lumber Is inspected in Mobile, and thus chance at competition is created.
 Chairman Henderson was anxious to know if there was any movement of traffic between the South American Re- publics or Cuba and points on the Ala bama and Bigbee rivers but he was in- formed that this was almost an in- considerable item with the river trans portation.
 The information was also brought out during the hearing that as soon as the two locks on the Bigbee River near Demopolis have been completed there will be good reason to expect coal barges from the Warrior fields to carry down to Mobile. These two locks have been contracted for recent ly and are to be finished in two years. The water stages. of past years would not allow of such navigation and this condition was a disappointment to Pittsburg coal shippers who made a trip to Mobile, with view of seeing some possibility of ,barging coal down the Warrior and Tombigbee rivers.
 After hearing evidence of Winston A. Jones. who is engaged in transporta- tion on the Bigbee River, the commits sion concluded it's inquiry into the river tariff problem and turned its attention to a few minor cases set down for yes terday's hearing. No decision in any of these minor cases was announced.
 In the matter of the petition of the Central of Georgia Railway to close it's agency at Gaynor. the commission Is holding up it's decision. The peti- tion of the same line in regard to the station at Sellersville has the same status,
 The hearing of the petition of D. c. Turnipseed to have added track facil- ities at Pemrode on the line of the Gen. ttal of Georgia, was continued until the next regular session of the conn mission on request of the petitioner. The petition of the sSeaboard Air Line Railorad to close it's agency at Hard wick was likewise continued until the next monthly meeting of the commits sion.
