BASEBALL NEWS
 BEATS POLITICS

Chicago, October S-The baseball game at New York stopped the wheels of poe litical endeavor at democratic national headquarters for two hours this after noon, and when Charles W. Bryan, seek ing campaign information, dropped in on National Chairman Mack and inquired the latest news from New York, the chair man replied;
 q have just heard that Chicago made four runs in the third inning"
 Whereupon MT. Bryan, who is an en- thusiast, asked the chairman what he thought of the chances of Detroit against Chicago in the worlds championship series The game in New York was the only subject of conversation at headquar- ters and the national chairman was com- pelled to confess to the newspaper men that the baseball situation was all he cared to discuss. Heads of the various bureaus made vain efforts to work while the game was in progress but finally gave up the attempt and stole away to some convenient ticker.
 It is not likely that MT. Bryan's speak ing schedule for the rest of the campaign will be made public for several days as the schedule in its present form is only tentative.

Ensley, October s.-(special)-Politics in Ensley continues to be live topic. More candidates for judge of the inferior court are mentioned. This afternoon the friends of J. M. Perkins placed his name in nom ination for the coveted office, and while his announcement is unauthorized by him f is conceded that if he enters the race he will make it interesting for the other candidates
 Another surprise Is the announcement of F. l.. Swan and C. s. Moseley as independent candidates for constable of Beat 45 Mr. Swan is connected with the Harris-Lovelady company and is very popular. Mir. Moseley is a well-known contractor and prominent in republican circles
 The fact that there is opposition to Lee White, the nominee of the democratic party. is sufficient to paake the fight in teresting, as Mr. White \received the nom nation by an overwhelming majority.

NARROWING STORY OF
 SHIPWRECKED SAILOR

load of lumber and I never saw him afterward. Myself and John Johnsen a seaman, grabbed part of the deck house and 1oated away from the wreckage. For more than two hours we watched five other members of the crew holding to wreckage, then they disappeared.
 "Johnsen and myself held on to the raft throughout the remainder of the hurricane. but many times came near being swept away. The water was alive with sharks and other large fish. shark hung to our trail as if waiting for us to fall from the raft. Johnsen had been i'll for several days before the McCabe was wrecked and his experience was too much for him. He died on the morning of the seventh day on the raft,
 For four days and nights his body lay beside me on the raft l was ex- hausted and did not have strength enough 10 throw 1t overheard. In the meantime the turbulent condition of the sea had subsided somewhat and and my dead companion drifted about not knowing what would happen next. No rain fell until the morning of the tenth day. l did not drink but little salt water during the time, knowing what would be my fate if l drank too freely.
 More than once starvation stared me in the face. but having found a piece of string in my clothes. l made loop knot in one end ond this I dropped into the water. There were thousands of fish swimming around the raft but they were shy. Finally a small shark put his head through the loop and I yanked him on board. It is needless to say that l ate it raw.

Mobile. October S.-An extended story of his horrible experience in a
 West India hurricane, the wrecking of the schooner Beulah McCabe, taking to an improvised raft and it's accompa ny
 inf fears and trials for 10 days. part of which was spent with the dead body of a companion. was told today by Yelo A Sioholm the only surviving members of the crew.
 Through an interpreter Sjoh olm gave the following story:
 For more than week the Beulah McCabe had experienced bad weather when probably 200 miles off the Ba
 hama Islands. About the seventh day
 the wind began 10 increase in velocity and by night was bowling hurricane.
 During the early hours of the follow ing morning, September 15, the poles
 were stripped of their sails and by o'clock the wind was blowing fully
 70 miles an hour.
 Every man on board was at his post.
 The McCabe was kept steady and scudded before the wind with bare poles. Suddenly monster wave
 washed the vessel from stem to stern, she filled and was water-logged Capt. E. " Bailey and every man stood the onslaught of the waves. Filled to her decks with water the McCabe houn- dered around until about s o'clock when the hurricane at it's height. the schooner turned completely over and then broke in two

BIRCH STEELE CASE
 WILL COME UP SOON
ISSUE BETWEEN TWO FEDERAL JUDGES IS TO BE PASSED UPON BY THE CIRCUIT COURT OF aP- PEALS.

The hearing in the controversy which has arisen between Federal Judges Thom- as G. Jones and Oscar R. Hundley over the appointment of the referee in bank ruptcy for the Northern district of Ala bama, will come up this month before the United States circuit court of appeals
 This trouble arose over the appointment of Nenial L. Steele and Alec C. Birch as referee for the Northern division. MT. Birch was formerly referee, and his term expired about a year ago and MT. Steele was appointed to succeed him by Judge Hundley. MT. Birch had received his first appointment from Judge Jones, and he was reappointed by him.
 The case has been a memorable one and attracted attention all over the country owing to the fact that two United States judges had become at outs over the juris- diction allowed them. Judge Jones held that Judge Hundley was simply an asso- ciate judge, and that he (Judge Jones) still had right to make appointments in the Northern district. Judge Hundley sole jurisdiction over the Northern dis trict
 Immediately upon the expiration of Ref erree Birchs term Judge Hundley ap- pointed Steele referee. A few days aft erward Judge Jones made a sudden ap- pearance in Birmingham and convened court. The only act at this session was the handing down of decree removing Steele as referee and the appointing of Birch to the place. This was followed by similar action on the part of Judge Hundley, who issued an order removing Birch and replacing Steele.
 Things rocked along quietly after this for several months. Some time ago, how ever, the performance was repeated, and the appeal to the circuit court of appeals followed.
 Much interest has been manifested in the outcome of this split between the two judges, especially among the republicans.

CIVIL ENGINEER FINDS
THAT IT PAYS TO KNOW

That it does pas to know has been
demonstrated many times. but never
more clearly thAn II the work Of Mr..
J. O. McNatt, who for many years
has been the civil and mining engi.
neer for the c. F. and I. company,
having charge of all this class Of work
for its mines in this in this county.
and his many friends most heartily
congratulate him on the successful
completing of the difficult piece Of
engineering work described below.
The new tunnel driving at the
Fremont mine which when COM
pleted will be at least 3.4 miles
long and connecting the parting or
lading at bottom OF shaft to the
center of new coal field, said tun-
mel or slope is being driven and seven
headings or faces. The sights set for
the longest section of said tunnel
were obtained through the setting of
80 intermediate stations. The angles
used at each station were the result
of one fourth Of four readings.
First section of 1863 feet which
has been under construction for one
year, driven at two ends, was con-
nected Saturday night. June 10. The
remaining three sections will be
finished later, as fast AS the driving
can be put through
The work of tunneling is through
long wall, and room and pillar ter
ritory and makes it very difficult
and particular piecs of work, due to
the fact that the stations in the ties
are heaved and shifted to one side.
Also do stations put into the roof
lower and move about and for this
season new surveys are necessary
every three months, the setting of the
sights and inspecting same to hold
them in line required frequent visits
from once to twice per month during
the construction.
So unlike a railway tunnel where
the driving is generally straight and
from daylight to daylight using n
vertical plane over the noun tain,
having solid body in which to set
or hang stations which is impossbl o
to have in the case just described.
First section of tunnel made good
connection. the est of the sections
will be connected to the first, max
ing the whole one long straight rail-
way, which will take several months
to complete.
