REJECTS ALL
 COLLEGE BIDS Methodists to Modify Building Plans. COMMISSION MET IN THE CITY Architect Is Recalled to Confer
 With Committee. Said that Suggestions of Mir. oImstead Met With Favor of Members and
 Other Plans to Be
 Changed,

After a thorough examination of bids submitted by ten different con- tractors upon the erection of the Meth odist Woman's College at Cloverdale, the special committee appointed to att tend to the letting of the contract, decided Tuesday to reject all present bids and to call the arch itect into ccn- sultation to prepare notifications of the plans for the building.
 It was hoped by the commission tn at the contract for the building would be let at this meeting, and that work upon its erection would be begun im- mnedlateiy, but the plans and susges- tions of Frederic Law Olmstead, the landscape gardener, seemed good in the eyes Of the commission. The ar- chitect was, therefore. wired to come to Montgomery not later than Thurs day of this week, that he might take under consideration the plans and sug- gestions offered by Mr. Oimstead.
 The building committee at the meet ing Tuesday afternoon in the Vandiyer building were given authority to re- ceive the amendments and notifications to the plans. and to advertise for a new set of bids. upon the receipt of which the contract is to be let. It is desired that this contract be let by Dec. 1t being the expectation of the commission to begin building in time Tor the opening of the college in the fall of next year.
 Those present at the meeting of -ths commission Tuesday were: pr. ]. M. Mason. chairman; Rev. J. M. Dannelly. secretary; J. D. Moore, A. ", smith F. F. Culver F. M. Jackson. W. H. Sanford, w. H. Thomas and w. F. Vandiver.

The law does not authorize the
State Treasurer to disburse money on
hand on account of disbursements to
the various counties out Of railroad
taxes. Therefore Treasurer voorhees,
has retained the money, waiting until
the whole tax for 1907 is paid in. A num-
Der of municipalities have sent officials
to demand the amount of money APP
portioned from the railroad taxes for
last year. They counted this money
among their bills receivable accounts
and now they are short at tie end OF
the year. Among others there was a
committee from Paterson which went
to see Governor Fort to get him to use
his influence with the State Treasurer.
They were surprised to learn that it
will take legislative act TO accom-
plish what they want. The State
Treasurer is under very heavy bonds
and this makes him very careful about
obeying the laws. There must be no
guesswork about any proposition that
is put up TO him, especially when 1t
calls for money out of the treasury.

RAILROAD TAX NOT YET PAID
Another Enabling Act May Be Neces-
sary Before Final Distribution.

Another Enabling Act May Be Neces-
sary Before Final Distribution.
Although under the law the coun-
ties of the state are entitled to receive
their apportionment of railroad taxes
from the main stem sources by No.
vember 1St, the fact that these taxes
have not all been collected may make
necessary the passage by the coming
legislature of another enabling act
before the state treasurer can pay out
the proportion of moneys now in his
hands.
The situation is similar to that
which existed last year over the dis
tribution of the 1906 tax, which should
have been paid to. the counties on
November /, 1907 The state comp
troller then was advised that owing
to litigation large amounts of tax mon.
eys had not been paid, and that he
had no authority to make partial pay
mentS to the counties. Then the leg
islature passed an enabling act direct
ing him to pay out the partial pof-
tions in his possession, but this act
does not apply to the sums received
since.
OF the 1906 main stem taxes there
remains 100000 due, the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad owing S19S,000 of this
amount. The courts have recently de-
cided against the railroads, and they
twill have to pay up. November 1st has
passed and they have not done so. OF
the 1907 taxes only about $4,000 is
still unpaid, but this is sufficient to
hold up the apportionment of about
81, 250,0 pending legislative active.

FOOTBALL SACRIFICES.

For the season now nearing its close,
the harvest in gridiron warfare be-
tween college, preparatory and high
schools is thirteen deaths and 200 in
jured more or less seriously. The list
of dead contains four college players,
two high school boys and seven players
on athletic teams. In the east. par
ticularly in the big colleges, the num-
Der OF injured is largest, while in the
south and west more deaths occurred.
Scores of gridiron heroes have been
manned for life as a result of the years
accidents on the field. One youth has
been afflicted with loekjaw, forty -one
have suffered broken collarbones, thir-
ty broken legs, twenty-one broken
noses, eighteen broken arms, and more
than 100 sprains and torn ligaments.
All this is in spite of the attempt TO
revise the football rules in the oirec-
ton of the safety of players. AS COM
pared with the record smashing year
before the revision of the game, when
twenty four players were killed, there
has been slight improvement as far
as the death rate is conce. ned. 1t
should not escape attention, however,
that ninety more accidents have al
ready been reported this season than
ia 1905.
