New York, Sept. 29-The election

fact that the Colver Leaf-Alton COM

cinnati and Louisville roads also will
be acquired by the combination. 1t is
understood that when the negotiations
for the purchase of the latter roads
have been completed the Alton will be
extended into trunk line, reaching
tidewater.
Edwin S. Hawley, who formerly con-
trolled the Iowa Central and the Min
neapolis and st. Louis, was made

PROPRIETARY MEDICINE FRAUDS

There have been plenty Of them, no
doubt, and they have been vigorously
condemned-so vigorously, that every
sort of medicine, the formula of which
is privately owned, is condemned and
pronounced "unethical" by the Medical
Profession.
Eckman's Alternative deserves atten-
ticn, not because it is proprietary"
but because it really has cured many
cases of tuberculosis. If it is fraud
it needs exposing badly, because a
number of cured Consumptives will
need to find some other reason for being
well.
Henry Clay said he would rather be
right than be President. Is it not bet
ter for Eckman's Alternative to make
cures than to be ethical?

Physical and Domestic Training Were the Big Thoughts of Educational nvention-Business Ses-
 sons Today.

Two thousand teachers and educational workers are going to their homes resolved to accomplish a few things in the legisla- tive way. Resolutions introduced yeSter- day, which will be passed today, call for a submission to the people of the proposi- tion to tax the districts, thus making the community the unit of education and placing on each person the responsibility of educating the children of his eommun- ity.
 Another resolution will call for the pass age of an act making school attendance compulsory. Still others call for a gen. eral observance of Alabama day, an in dorsement of the fight against tubercu- losis and instructions to the teachers to carry it on with particular zeal.
 The result of the association meeting teachers to do better work and spread of the most modern educational ideas over the state.
 Physical and domestic training were the big thoughts of the convention, and sec ond only was the importance of beauty and scientifically built schools and proper premises. These are subjects which it is said are just reaching their just import ance, and from the beginning of the ses- sion to the end they have stood out fore most.
 The convention ended last night, except for the business session which will be held this morning.
 N R. Baker of Ensley, present chair man of the executive committee, will be elected president, and the next place of meeting will be Mobile.

under it, he now does all in his power 10 block it-and foil the one chance the creditors have of saving something from the wreck-and just because the commit tee has not seen fit to comply with his unreasonable demands and to give him an advantage and benefit over other stockholders. He has sought to carry out his threat. He commenced suit in the United States circuit court for the South ern district of New York but Judge Moves threw him out of court Then he came to Birmingham and tried to break into the bankruptcy proceedings; and when he did not succeed there he appealed to the United States circuit court of appeals
 Then he bounded back to New York and commenced suit in the supreme court of New York. He had a friend by the name of Knight who had some collateral trust notes which were deposited with the committee. He got Knight to with draw his notes from the committee, but Knight evidently lost confidence in Schu- Ter and the same notes were again re- deposited with the committee by man by the name of Moreau. Then on March 20 Schuler withdrew his $5000 collateral trust note from the committee and the next we hear of him and his friends is that Moreau commenced q suit In the Blrming- ham city court and Knight seeks to fn- tervene in the bankruptcy proceedings.
 They must all be made to think that any court, or, in fact. any sane person, will take any notice of such dilatory pro- ceedings. Fortunately the courts make short work of such as Schuler and his associates. w. w. MILLER.
