RoUT THE SULTAN.
State Department Receives confirma-
ton of Reported Action.

The State Department has received a
confirmatory cablegram in relation to the
reported routing of the sultan by troops
while marching TO occupy the southern
capital Marrakesh. Hoffman Philip. sec
rotary of the Moroccan legation at Tan
gier, under date of yesterday says that
il is reported there that the sultan and
his ministers are prisoners, but states
that this report had not been confirmed
1t was believed at Tangier that,the de-
feat of the sultan's troops was undoubt-
eddy most conclusive.
The condition that has been brought
about by this decisive conflict is generally
looked upon there as indicating the early
downfall of the existing government.

COMPLETES TUNNEL
BIG LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE
 JOB FINISHED.
Said To Re Most Nearly Perfect Speci- men of Tunneling Ever Under tmken in sOuth--Is 1,OS6
 Feet Long.

In just two years and one month the big tunnel on the South and North di- vision of the Louisville and Nashville near Brooks Gap has been completed. Regarding the details of the big piece of work, The Birmingham Ledger says:
 The tunnel lies slightly to the. south of Parkwood and is approached through cut that Is 3,4o0 feet long. The deepest point of the approach from the north Is 66 feet. while the average depth is approximately g feet. The tunnel was hollowed through @ hill that is 190 feet high above the tunnel. and as the tunnel is 2s feet inches in height, making the hill through which the tunnel passes BIS feet 3@lnches above the railroad bed.
 The most notable part of the work Is the tunnel itself which Is claimed to be the most perfect specimen of tunneling that was ever attempted In the South, without exception. The ex- cavation Is 2S feet wide, allowing the operation of two trains over double tracks through same. AS stated, In height the tunnel is 2S feet inches. The hole" ia lined with concrete In what Is termed e three-centered arch, and is claimed to be absolutely safe. The timbers supporting the dome of the hole" are reinforced by concrete although the reinforcement method was abandoned after a few places where 1t was necessary, were made ah- solutely faultless.
 In length the tunnel is l,0bs feet and at every few paces a small safety place has been provided for workmen to enter when train ts passing through the tunnel. These places safe guard the men and prevent any chance of accidents to the workmen. The tuns

 The tunnel Is supposed to lessen the grade to 42 feet average to the mile. from SC feet to a mile. Thus train Ia now capable of carrying twice the amount of tonnage that was the case heretofore by reason of the lesser grade and better trackage. The curves in the new tracking butt with the tunnel are rather short, although they are practically up to the stand ard.
 After penetrating the tunnel and making an exit from the south ap- proach, one ia confronted with an ex- cavated trench of 30 feet with an av- craze depth of s1 feet. the deepest point of which reaches the height of 65 feet.
 The material from this approach and the other excavations was used in the "hll" below the south approach. which is s0'feet long and 65 feet deep. In other words. the depth of the second fill and the remaining "hlI" are equal to the heighth of tell egraph pole. to which add. say. 25 feet After traversing the first fill. a curvature necessitated the removal Of a portion of hill. during which cut ting the contractors removed 50.000 feet of material. The height of this hill Is approximately 80 feet.
 The second fill and the greatest on the job starts half mile from the tun- mel and is 2,50O feet in length. or one half a mile. This "hll" was a deep ravine when the engineers made the survey. but they calculated that. with the excavations, they would be able to

MILLS WILL LECTURE
EXPERT ON FORESTRY TO ADDRESS
 WOMEN.
subject which Tn Recent Years Has Assumed National Importance Especially to states of the
 Southland.

In connection with the meeting of the Alabama Federation of Women's Clubs, Enos A Mills, one of the best known forestry experts in the coun- try. will lecture on forestry. Mir. Mills will deliver his address Wednesday evening.
 Mir. Mills lectured once before in Montgomery and his lecture was given the highest praise by those who heard It. They were those who were most insistent in the invitation to Mir. Mills to return and deliver his lecture.
 The subject of forestry has in recent years assumed a National interest It is of special interest to the South.
 The Southern States have nearly sev- en-tenths of the forested area of the United States, the remaining three tenths being on the western coast. the vast area of this land (266.0O0,0oe acres). makes 1t of vital importance that present destructive methods shall not continue, for If they do, the Hand will soon be reduced to a waste. More than oue-fourth of this Southern for est area has already been stripped. The destruction of the remainder is being rapidly accomplished. A conservative estimate indicates that within twenty years. at the present rate of destruc- ton, the Southern pine will be practic- ally extermInated. For the welfare of the South as well as for the benefit of the entire country. the forests of tha Appalachian region should become per manent The soil will bear no other crop than trees, and with these re- moved the mountains become a Epenace, their washable soil being quickly car- ried into the streams by the heavy rains, causing floods and failing water power, as shown above, while the soil silt bouIders, and debris fill up and choke the dams, rivers and harbors. U. S. Senate Report No. 2537 states that In a single year. from Aptil. 1901. to April 1902, floods in the Southern Appalach- ian region destroyed property of the estimated value of S1S,00O,00O.

DRINK
lC0L. GARBER BACK
FILED BRIEF IN ALONZO BAILEY
 CASE.
Confrnaed Report That Attorney Gen- eraI Bonapaste Has Taken
 Hand in Flight for <Ne-
 xro's Freedom.

Returning from Washington where he went to file the brief of himself ana Assistant Attorney General Thomas w. Martin. Attorney General Alex M. gar Der. confirmed Sunday the report eaat Attorney General Bonaparte' has taken hand in the now noted case or Alonzo Bailey vs. State of Alabama. it prom ises to occupy no little of the attention of the United states Supreme Court
 This is the hardest attack on the la hor contract law of this State that mas ever been made. NFrom every angle counsel for Alonso Bailey, a negro, has taken '"dfg" at the constituttonaiity of the statute which was frst in the Code of 1896. was amended in 1905 and finally amended by the Legislature or 1907. It Is the law which makes 1t n,isdem eanor for a person to contract to perform services with money paid in advance and then falls to restore the money or perform the work promised.
 Attorney General Garber said yester- day that he did not know exactly the nature of the brief that the Department of Justice at Washington would file In the case. He said that 1t was agreed with a representative of the United states Attorney General that as soon as the brief was completed a copy would be forwarded to Montgomery and Colonel Garber and Assistant At- torney General Thomas w. Martin, of Alabama, would then have ten days in Shich to file an answer.
 Aionxo Bailey, 1t will be recalled, ja g. negro who was arrested Tor the a1- leged failure to comply with the terms of the contract law. He petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus before Judge W. H. Thomas, of the City Criminal Court. on the ground that he was being held without due process of law" as was guaranteed by the fourteenth amendment to the Federal Constitu- tion. It was represented that he had not the opportunity to defend himself as the law made the fact of his not fulfilling his contract to labor for the Riverside Company prima facie evil dence of ais intent to defraud his em- ployers.
 Judge Thomas denied freedom to Bailey as did also the State Supreme Court on appeal. As the question of the act being contrary to the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments to the na- tional constitution was involved the appeal was taken to Washington. The case bids fair to almost rival in inter- est the notorious peonage cases that made this section the exposure of legal eyes a few years back. In all events, it Is known that powerful factors are working to strike down the statute which attempts to make a criminal of Alonzo Bailey, and both sides have filed elaborate briefs.
