GUT IN SALARIES HAS NO EFFECT HERE
SOUTHERN WILL SIMPLY MAKE REDUCTION OF 10 PER CENT IN SALARIES OF THE HIGHER OPEL GALS.

While the administrative officers of the Southern Railway and their clerical forces have prepared for the pinch of reduced earnings. destined to come February l. the lesser lights of the great system have received no information relative to what will be done in their cases. No information, in fact, relative to the proposed cut in wages has been received in Birmingham, although 1t is thought that several of the local officials, under the announced plan. will be affected.
 .'The step in the programme of reducing expenses" as the action is termed in the official announcement, is a cut of 10 per cent in the salaries of the general of ncials and their clerical forces. effective February l.
 In the 18th annual report of the South ern Railway company, ,,hich has been issued is contained the probable cause for the retrenchment. The report shows that during the last fiscal year, ending June 90. 1907, while the gross earnings from operation for the period amounted to $56, ,657 994, showing an increase over the preceding year of $9.O16,o55, the operating expenses and taxes increased $4,926,143, creating a decrease in net earnings of S1.- 909, ,5S7. The total net income showed a de- crease of over $1.5OO,oOO, and the balance remaining over fixed charges paid showed a decrease of S2,sSs,774.
 The Southern passed it's regular semi annual dividend, due October 1, 1907, thus saving on this account s1,5O0,000.
 The appropriation for improvement and betterment was almost cut in half. On October r. a dividend of 11a per cent, amounting to $e0O0OO, was paid out of ae- cumulated surplus.
 The decrease in net earnings was large ly produced. it is said, by the increased cost of everything from steel rails to labor The Southern within the last Is months. also advanced the wages of men throughout the system.
 The last annual statement does not show the effects of the recent stringency in the money market, nor the effect if there has been any. of reduced passengr and freight rates, and the cost of legisla- ton. However, 1t Is understood that the loss in revenue has been from $4O,000 to GOO per week under that of the last fiscal year.

DEMONTREVlLLE MAY RETIRE FROM GAME AND so TELLS MIR. BAUGH-SUNDAY BALL GUAR ANTEED TO.MOBlLE.

Yesterday. warm with sunshine and gentle breeze. turned the face of the fan toward the little, old, battered lot at West End where pennants have been won and pennants tossed away.
 Had Harry Vaughn stepped into the burg, and had he uncorked a few rounds of valuable information. the coming of Mir. Bryan would have been forgotten, and the incident of the railroad battle in sleepy Montgomery would have taken the rearmost seat.
 Manager Vaughn will arrive about Feb fuary l. This was learned yesterday. It is expected that he will have some infor- nation at this time, not dreamed of to give out. He will also give the straisht dope on the Osteen and other matters. He will be asked about the pitchers that we need, and his opinion as to whether or not Downey will make good on third. He will be asked to speak of Catcher Raub, and tell whether or not Lee Garvin will return to the slag. It is believed that Manager Vaughn will have a team to keep Birmingham well up in the race. all though, as has been mentioned, the pres ent horizon is not without it's clouds.
 Gene Demontreville the Baron short stop of last season. informed President Baugh yesterday that it was doubtful whether he would play another season or not. He intimated that President Baugh might notify Harry Vaughn.
 President Baugh stated that while he WOIld n not care to stand in that players way if his prospects with the Alabama Fair asso- ciation look brighter than his $30O per month with the local club.
 With that the interview was at an end. Of course, if Demont plays next season he will play with Birmingham And it is believed, too, that he will be in harness when the roses begin their pertaining.
 A letter was received in Birmingham yesterday from McElveen to the effect that that Nashville player would be de- lighted to play with Birmingham next season.
 As is known, there has been deal pending whereby Walters goes to Nash vile and McElveen comes to Birmingham While this deal may not go through, Mc- Elveen is anxious nevertheless, to come to the slag. McElveen is a very valuable third baseman. and would give Brming- ham better services than he gave Nash vile last year. He is well known to Henry Meek, and the hard-hitter stated yesterday that McElveen would be a star infelder with Birmingham. 1t is Meek opinion that McElveen did not give Nash vile his best last year on account of general discontent
 The news was received in Mobile yester- day that Thomas Fisher, former ShreVe- port pitcher, has secured his release from St. Louis and will come immediately to the home of the Sea Gulls and begin or ganizing his team. This news was haiied with delight in Mobile. for 1t was TOT time feared that Fisher would be unable to get back to Dixie. Tom promises 10

 The above means that there will still be Sunday baseball in three Southern league cities, in spite of Shreveport's withdrawal The curves will work on Sunday in New Orleans, Memphis and Mobile.
 Charlie Frank promises to give some one a hard fight for the rag next year. He will retain his last seasons catch CTS Sabrie, Gatins and Cross will oc- eupy his three corners. Huber, former Cotton States star, will play short.
 Bartley. of the Philadelphia Ath- letics, will be his main pitcher, while Breitenstein, Phillips, Guese, Fritz, and probably Manuel will be among his pitchers.

RECORD OF THE COURTS

The case of Will Davis vs. E. l.. Hig- don, which was begun Tuesday after non in the circuit court before Judge Lane and which went to the jury yesterday morning at about Il o'clock, resulted in a mistrial. After the jury had been out for nearly six hours Judge Lane called them into the court room yesterday aft ernoon shortly before } o'clock and ques- toned them on the status of the case. Upon being informed that they were hope lessly divided, Judge Lane dismissed the jury and declared the case a mistral.
 The suit of Davis against Sheriff Higdon has attracted considerable attention in that it was the first against Colonel Hig- don as sheriff of Jefferson county. The plaintiff sued for s5O0O damages for his alleged wrongful arrest by one of the sheriff's deputies. It is claimed that the warrant upon which Davis was arrested l did not specify the offense with which he was charged, that of burglary and grand larceny, and that the plaintiff was con- fined in jail for four days. He also averred, among other things, that he was not guilty. Colonel Higdon answered the l petition in the statement that a felony had been committed and that the deputies had cause to believe Davis was impll- cated.
 Davis was arrested at Trussville on June !, 1907, in connection with the rob 1 bery of the commissary of the Southern 1 Steel company there.
