MIR. CRAIK'S FUNERAL
BODY LAID TO REST IN OAK-
 WOOD CEMETERY.
Many Friends Followed to Last Rest ing PIaee--services Take Place From St. Johns Episco-
 pal Church.

By the death of Mir. G. W. Craik on Easter Day, April 1s. which was also his birthday Montgomery lost a citi- zen whose conduct was always based upon strong conviction and honest pur- pose. Those who had the pleasure of close acquaintance with him apprecia- ted to the fullest degree his splendid mentality. his generous judgment of nen and measdres and his kind. loving heart.
 He filled many positions of honor and trust and always to the complete satis- faction of those whose interests were committed to his keeping. He was the ve-y embodiment of honor and his daily walk and life can well be taken as ex- amples of correct conduct by those who survive him.
 The large attendance at his funeral services at St. Johns Church yesterday afternoon, of friends from all denomi- nations. attested the high esteem In which he was held. The profusion of flowers spoke eloquently the love of those who affectionately regarded him while living and who will cherish his memory now that he is no more pres- .ent among them.
 The services were conducted by Rev. E. E. Cobbs, rector of St. Johns Church and of which MT. Craik for many years was devoted and consis- tent communicant.
 A large number of sorrowing friends followed to the cemetery and at the close of the services there, the benedic- ton was pronounced by his brother. Rev. Charles E.. Craik of Louisville,
 The following gentlemen acted as nalibearers: Judge J. B. Gaston. Dr. J. L.. Gaston and Messrs. A. s. Wool folk, W. A. Gayle, A. s Johnston. T, Kirk Jackson, w. w. Screws and Ignatius Pollak.

ffigdon.. Tt is clearly a violation of the law. though. for a person to give a transfer to another, or to receive a transfer, and if the company insists must make arrests. From what learn some of the best people in town are violating the transfer laws adopt ed by the Iast Legislature. and re- gret very much to have to proceed. {"
 It seems from the complaints which reach the Sheriff's office that certain passengers have a systematic way of using transfers. One man who lives in the western part of the city and works in a remote part of town will get on a car and ride to the center of the city where he will meet a man who lives in the eastern part of the city, and works in the western part. When they meet they exchange transfers and save cents each. Then on Sundays whole families are said to have ex- changed transfers.

APPARATUS COMES FOR
 TUBERCULOSIS EXHIBIT

The mothers Union of Montgomery has planned to visit the Tuberculosis Exhibition at o'clock Thursday after noon, at which time 1t is hoped that some special attention will be given to the topics in which the mothers are interested. Mrs Ray W. Rushton, Cor responding Secretary. has reported to the Exhibition management that Mrs. B. A. Parker. with Mrs. William Led yard, has been appointed as a commit tee to cooperate with the Exhibition. and to make study of the exhibits, with view to further aiding the lo- cal campaign against this disease.
 Early in the week arrangements will be made for the public schools and various other ednucational institutions of the city to visit the Exhibition at the scheduled hours. After the opening Wednesday, there will be hourly ses- sions with the use of the stereopticon throughout the day and evening. in ad- dition to the special addresses by phy. sicians and others.
 Apparatus is Received.
 Ninety-two boxes, crates, trunks and bundles have been received at the old First Baptist Church, in preparation for the installation of the American Tuberculosis Exhibit next week. Ac- cording to Dr. Glenn Andrews, Chair man of the Tuberculosis Exhibition Committee, this car load of freight will enable the citizens of Montgomery and influential representatives of many Ala bama towns to get right in line with other enterprising communities through out the country in the battle against consumption.
 This exhibition will be open only two. weeks" said pr. Andrews. but there will be something doing all of that time. and 1t Is expected that thous- ands will learn the real nature of tu- berculosis and consumption and will SC live hereafter that they will have much less need for fearing the disease. Al three places in Kentucky. 50,000 people visited this same exhibition. In Prov idence. R.. l.. there were 1000 visitors in one day. ~
 "The purpose of the Exhibition is purely educational. No cures will be sold. or remedies advertised" said Dr Andrews. 'There will be no charge foI admission and no money will be made by any one from having the show here By means of models of buildings and tents. beautiful photographs and nove charts the exhibit will demonstrate the relation of occupation and living con. ditions to disease and death, and will emphasize the terrible ravages of con. sumption among all classes. The re. movable causes of the high deatf rate among negroes and Indians and Chinese will be made clear. and 1t will be shown that the uninformed negro consumptive may be a possible source of death to any member of the com. munity. even among those who may not even have seen or known the orig lnal source of infection. Truly. every body is interested In this exhibition"

 Some say there can be no return of prosperity until Roosevelt is retired to private life. Others say that there the Standard oil pays that $29000. 900 fine and Hartman and Ryan are de- posed from financial power.
 Some say that there can be no revival of prosperity until Congress. with its 250 bills to regulate the railroads, ad- tourns. Others say that revival de- bends upon a physical valuation of the railroads. made with a view to lower freight rates.
 Some say that the future of the coun- try depands upon putting rich male factors in jail. while others declare that 1t will go to ruin unless the an- archists are deported and the socialists suppressed.
 Some say that the nation will be i'm voIved in moral wreck unless the stock exchange is closed up. while others inst as insistently declare that there will be industrial collapse unless the doctrine of the closed shop Is over thrown.
 Some say that the most important problem before the people is the revis- ion of the tariff. while others say that all other problems fade into insignifi- canoe beside that of the prohibition Of the liquor traffic.
 Some declare that national safety de- bends on the maintenance of the right of private property and the inviola- bility of contract while others hold that there can be no hope for the fu- ture until there is more equal dls- tribution of wealth.
