The Christmas Stamps.

Tuskegee, December 21.-(Special.)- Nothing as ever been introduced into the welfare against tuberculosis which has interested so many people and so many different kinds of people and in tc-ested them so pleasantly and given them a chance to do something worth while to help along as the Red Cross Christmas Stamp" This was the state ment of Director E. G. Routzahn of the American Tuberculosis Exhibition, the travelling exhibition which has been shown in the chief cities of the state. MT, Routzahn has issued the following card, ''to those who have helped in Alabama:'
 'To the many in Alabama who respond ed during the past ten months to calls for service against tubersulosis l wish to commend the Red Cross Christmas stamp as offering an eminently satis- factory medium for arousng interest and providing funds for campaigning in the direction of greatest need for both races in the state.''
 There can be no question but that the great health problem of the whites of the south is the problem of tuberculosis among the negroes. Every white family in a southern state is interested equally with the negro race. The Christmas stamp funds in Alabama are devoted specifically to this particular work.

 SADDEST OF NEWS

New York, December H.-When the big liner Baltis, warped into her dock here today, after one of the most tempestuous voyages of her career, Charles c. Clark of Eureka, Utah, learned that the woman he waited years to wed had died while crossing the ocean to join him in the home he had made for both The girl, Miss Priscilla Hewson of Whitehaven, England, was stricken with peritonitis soon after the ship sailed. So rough was the seal that the ships surgeon found it impossible to perform an operation and after two days illness death ended her sufferings. Neither the young woman nor her brother, accompanying her, had money to defray the cost of the burial ashore, but several first cabin passen- gers, among them Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, wife of the American ambassador to Great Britain, made up a liberal purse, and arranged to have the body brought to New York for burial
 Clark and Miss Hewison had been child hood sweethearts and they had planned to be married before Christmas. Instead he and the dead girls brother will be the chief mourners when the body is laid away in Kensico cemetery on what was to have been her wedding day.

BIRMINGHAM IS
 AFTER SOUTHERN
 1910 FIELD MEET

It has been determined that the Bir- mingham Athletic club will enter a team in the southern field meet in New Or leans in January.
 w. D. Nesbitt, chairman of the athletic committee of the club, is willing to take the team to the Crescent City if the boys will get to work and the boys, to all appearances, are willing.
 The plan Is to have many members of the club accompany the team as a roofing bodyguard and to aid in move ment that is already receiving impetus.
 MT. Nesbitt wants to land the 1910 southern meet and the chances are good that he will do so MT. Nesbitt is well and popularly known in New Orleans and if it is demonstrated that Birmingham really wants the meet and that the proper spirit exists here it can be land ed, 1t is generally believed.

 "Bask etban is the greatest winter sport the south knows" said w. M. Cosby. MT. Cosby is an enthusiast of the first water. He knows the game and the players just as well as any physical director.
 Basketball deserves a standing right along with football and baseball" said w. D. Nesbitt, railroad commissioner. Tt not only displays as much skill, endurance and athletic ability, but 1t is just as interesting to the specta- tor. It is hard for one who knows the game to let one go by
 Among the other enthusiasts is R. S. Munger, who says the two best teams, the two best schedules, and all the fun Birmingham people could want has been arranged, and everybody ought to line up to help our boys win.''

COLLEGE FIELD MEET MAY OCCUR
 IN BIRMINGHAM

If plans existing at present material ize there will occur in Birmingham next spring an intercollegiate field meet.
 The secretary of the club has received a communication from the University of Alabama in which he is requested to bring about the meeting. MT. Miles has already got busy and it is his hope that the meet will become a reality.
 While Alabama suggests meeting be- tween Auburn, Georgia Tech and Ala bama 1t is thought that the Athletic club will request other southern colleges to have representatives present Georgia, Tennessee, Sewanee, Vanderbilt and the Mississippi colleges may be induced to make an appearance. Then, in addition, it may be that the Athletic club and the Y M. C. A. will enter teams.
 The idea has taken like wildfire in Bir- mingham and the meet is already receiv- ing discussion.

 This is the ambassadors first visit to America while Countess von Bernsdorff although born in New York, had not been here for 25 years.
 Thanks to the confidence of the Elm peror and th nperial government" said Count Der lorff. q am entrusted with the diff lll responsibility of succeeding Baron on Sternberg, who in representing my country so well in America had the good fortune also to win the confidence of the government and the people of the United States.

HORSEMAN LOSES
 BIG DAMAGE SUIT

Washington, December N.-There was caused by the election of Joseph Mar rome, the New York horse owner and trainer from the Benning race track here, and the charge that his horse, St. Joseph, was drugged, when the case Marrone in- stituted against the Washington Jockey club and it's stewards, s. s. Rowland, Henry J. Morris and Samuel Doss, for s50 900 damages was tried in the circuit court of the District of Columbia today before Chief Justice Clabaugh. Marrone testified that on November 25, 1907, as he attempted to enter the Benning track he was stopped by a gate keeper and notified that his badge had been called in. Marrone said he then appealed to the stewards, who informed, him that his horse which had run the previous day had been "doped'
 Marrone said this was given as an ex- cuse for barring him from the track, which he characterized as conspiracy of the defendants and other parties to ruin his reputation. The defense con- tended that the stewards acted under a report from their veterinarian that the hcrse had been drugged; that their ac- ton was the usual one in such cases and denied that there was any conspiracy.
 Justice Clabaugh directed verdict in favor of the jockey club and the stewards, holding that no evidence of the alleged conspiracy had been shown. He held that the ticket purchased by Marrone, on which he was denied admission after his trainers badge had been taken away, was a mere license, revocable at will Of the club on a proffer of the price paid.

Bask etball is the fashionable winter game this year. The ladies have learned to understand it, and the men are en- thusiasts on the subject Because it furnishes the dearest open exibition of manly athletic effort it promises to be as popular as baseball in the sum- mer.
 The rooters at the match games are far more strenuous than the average baseball bencher. It is one long melee of yells, squalls and squeals from the time the ball goes up in the middle. There are those in Birmingham who have never known the excitement of genuine close basketball game, but some of the city's most prominent citi- zens never miss a chance. To get un- der the influence one has only to wit ness one close contest and then 1t burns on like a forest fire.
 People who missed that game last Thursday at the Young Mems Christian association surely missed something great" said Lieutenant Governor Henry B. Gray. "I consider that one of the most intensely interesting contests I ever saw, chasing right along with many of the close football and baseball games rarely ever stay away from a basketball game, for I always know that I can get my moneys worth. To get with jolly crowd and boost the home team is not only fun, but it helps them win.
 Birmingham people should take ad- vantage of the merit offered in the eight South ern league games to be played here. The two local organiza- tions are going to a great deal of trou- ble and expense in bringing this game to high standard, and they deserve backing If the league games continue as exciting as the first, I can hardly see how the gymnasiums will hold the crowds"
 R. M. Goodall was another member of the throng which cheered the local team last Thursday. Any kick com ing?" he said. why, I only wish could have taken all my friends. Bas- ketball surprises me every time I see it. One would think it would some times be boring, but whether the score be small or big, the game is great! I

 InfO LOniSiana Charges

have residence in Sewanee, Tuscaloosa and Starkvil1e, Miss. and Birmingham is easier of access than either of the places mentioned.
 In case, after this conference, there is still doubt as to the innocence or guilt of Louisiana, another meeting of the committee will be held in New Or leans.
 The members of the committee are Chancellor Wiggins of Sewanee, pr. c. H. Barnwen of the University of Alabama and Professor Brown of the Agricultural and Mechanical college of Mississippi. The members of the com mittee with whom The Age Herald has had recent communication affirm that the committee as a whole is determined to go to the very depths of the prob lem.
 On the result of this investigation depends the southern championship. In case Louisiana's innocence is substan- tiated then Louisiana is champion In case Louisiana is found guilty, Auburn has the best claim to championship honors.

The committee appointed by the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic asso- citation to further inquire into the charges preferred by Tulane university against Louisiana State university which charges before the association were pressed by Auburn in view of the fact that Tulane is not a member, have already got busy.
 Auburn has been requested to furnish each of the three members of the com- mittee with copy of the charges, and with all the evidence intended to sub stantiate these charges.
 Col. Thomas Boyd of Louisiana has been requested to send to each member of the committee all the evidence which he possesses which Is intended to refute the charges.

O'DELLS POCKETS PICKED
By j. B. HOUSTON.

Bessemer, December -(Special.) )-The merchants of Bessemer have made elab- crate preparations for the holiday trade and have their houses beautifully dec orated for the big rush they expect this week. Considering the dearth of patron age so far, they are still optimistic, knowing that it has always been the custom of the people in these parts to put off the holiday shopping until the very last minute. One merchant this morning, who has not been here very long, and has gone to a considerable eX- pense making ready for the rush, re- marked to an old-timer who was stand ing in front of his place of business that he was feeling pretty blue; that he was not taking in enough to pay expenses, and that if this weather continued he would go broke.
 The old merchant told him that one year in Bessemer he stocked his store with everything imaginable for the holiday business, had articles of every descrip- ton nicely displayed, his store most taste fully decorated, hired several extra clerks to save any unnecessary waiting of his patrons that he had dreamed of seeing, and up to two days before Christmas he had not taken in enough actual cash to pay one of his porters when on the morning of the third day before Christ mas the rush began and he did not have time to eat until about 12 o'clock Christ mas eve. When he came to his senses he found that he had sold out, lock, stock and barrel-even broken chinaware and automatic toys
