DAYS OF STRIFE RECALLED

ON THE BIG COLISEUM STAGE
MADE THEM SIT FORWARD IN
THEIR SEATS.

In all the vast crowd at the Coliseum
last evening, there were few rapidly
declining men who could better ap-
preciate what was being said and done
than the thousands that outnumbered
them by their presence. These men
were the veterans Of the civil war. 1t
was they who answered the call of
Abraham Lincoln for volunteers to
preserve the union. 1t was they who
left their plows in the burrows, their
goods on the counters. their books in
the Offices or the family fireside to
go forth and give up the best years of

in this city than were those at the
Coliseum for the exercises Of last eve

local decorating committee appointed
by the Young Mems Business club
was assisted by representatives from a
Cincinnati firm of decorators. The
combined efforts of the decorators ex-
ceeded the expectations .of all but the
most hopeful. Fred Lemon was chair
man of the committee on decorations.
Hundreds of Flags
Hundreds of American flags were
used and the bare harm like places
about the structures were obscured by
the folds of the red. white and blue.
Large japanese lanterns were worked
in to good effect. Many OF the electric
lights were encased and the subdued
glow was far better than the brilliant
glare. About the base of the galleries
were stretched yards an yards OF bunt-
ing, interpreted with flags and pic
lures OF Lincoln everywhere The
crowd was given no chance to forget
that the event was in honor Of this be-
loved president. The speakers plnt-

ARE OF THE OPINION THAT HE

And now the story is being circulat-

mayor, is nominated, there will be
placed an independent candidate in
the field at the election in November.
Anything to defeat Zimmerman and
prevent the democratic party from
gaining control again seems to be the
slogan.

When the great flags forming the
curtain across the front of the plat
form were drawn back and the minia-
tures camp was displayed, these old
soldiers, who knew we'll just what act
ual camp life of the soldier means,
slipped forward to the edge of their
chairs. They could appreciate better
than any others just what was the
significance. The imitation camp fire
that appeared burning merrily in the
middle of the platform and the men,
bers ofthe Apollo club. as they lounged
about in uniform made a realistic pic

and the remaining stanzas of the old
song were heard there were those in

contest this spring, as it appears GER
tain there will be a number of candi-
dates in the field 1t is claimed that no
prospective candidate yet in the field
can equal Zimmermans strength.
Would Split the Vote.
Henry Deuker and DR.. T.. Henry
Davis, it is claimed will so split the
vote that Zimmerman's nomination is
as good as assured. There is an eff
fort being made by some of the liberals
who do not like Zimmerman, but who
will support him unless another liberal
candidate enters the field, to secure
some prominent and generally popular
man to enter the race. 1t is claimed
that only in this event can Zimmerman
be defeated for the nomination.
Have Two Purposes.
That Zimmerman will have a hard
fight at the election. should he be
nominated, is also forecasted. The re-
publicans do not want another demo-
cratic administration. The sentiment
is strong that Zimmerman is undesir-
able and for this reason an independ-
ent candidate may be put in the field
to accomplish two purposes, one to de-
feat Zimmerman and the other to de-
feat the democrats.

ANOTHER PROTEST
 ON FEE BRIGADE
EAST LAKE MAN POINTS TO SOME BAD EXAMPLES THAT HAVE COME TO LIGHT IN THE SUB- URBS.

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 I can't understand how. when every body claims to be against the 'iniqi- tous fee system," the chancery court should be allowed to set up a new fee mill to grind out taxes and toll for the little towns and the flee suckers"
 The citizens of East Lake and sev- eral of the other little towns have, dur ing the past month, been notified by subpoenas from the chancery court that their property would be sold to pay taxes for 1908 and the costs. As a rule we have only little homes and the taxes are not as much as the toll, and 1t is cheap CT to pay taxes and toll than to hire a good lawyer to prevent the robbery.
 l have in mind neighbor who was advised by lawyers Dudolph and Sumter Lee to pay $1.35, the taxes claimed, and $4.S5, the fees, as 1t would be cheaper than to fight the suit, though she had the tax receipt signed by the city tax collector
 Hoping you success in your good work of ridding our county of the flee graft ers,'' and that we may all be embraced in one large municipality, which will be justly and economically administered un- the present mayor of Birmingham, I am, yours truly, w. c. MARTIN.

TUSKEGEE SCHOOL CLOSED

Dr. William E. Martin was yesterday college which is to be erected at Mont gomery by the Methodist conference. The educational commission which has had the matter in charge was in session here practically all day yesterday and their choice of president was made only after weeks of investigation of the avail ability of numerous men all over the south Dr. Martin at present is pres . ident of Sullins college located at Brs. tol, Tenn.

 The camp also took up a quite inter- esting movement, the object of which is to purchase oil paintings of Jeffer- son Davis, Robert k. Lee, Joseph E. Johnston and other commanders of the Confederate army to be placed in the High school and in the Birmingham public library. A prominent citizen who is not a Confederate vetefan made the first subscription of $50 yesterday, and the camp has decided to take the matter ac- lively in hand. A committee consisting of Col. Sam Will John, chairman; Com mander John G. Smith, Capt. R. H. Ha- good, Gen. J. w. Bush and Col. A. c. Oxford was appointed to solicit subscrip- tions to the picture fund. The paintings win be placed in the public buildings as memorials of Camp Hardee and as tributes to the heroic Confederate of- ficers.
 Crosses of Honor were conferred upon members of the camp by the ladies of Pelham chapter, United Daughters of the Confectionery. and final arrangements were made for the trip to the reunion at Memphis next week.
 The programme in observance of the birthday of Jefferson Davis was very in- teresting. The chief address was made by eX-Governor William H. Sims and sev- eral of the veterans made short ad- dresses. Governor Sims speech dealt with the life and character of Jefferson Davis and was one of the finest ever delivered before the camp. By a unanmious vote the camp decided to publish the speech in pamphlet form.

Eight Have Miraculous Escapes When Southern Coaches
 Fall Into Water
HEAVY RAINS CAUSED THE
 THISTLE FILL TO WEAKEN
Negroes in Coaches Were Carried to Bottom But in Some Way Es- capped and Floated to
 Surface.

Eight persons were injured yesterday afternoon when combination freight and passenger train No. 94 on the Short Creek division of the Southern railway was wrecked by the softening of the roadbed at mile post No. 20, a half mile north of Maxine where the track crosses Black creek.
 Four white men, three negro men and one negro woman were hurt They were as follows
 Whites.
 E. V. Lambeth, engineer, 991s Fourth avenue, Birmingham, right leg broken and right hand lacerated G. R. Woodall, brakeman, 4O29 Fifth avenue, north, Birmingham, right knee injured.
 H. C. Collins, brakeman, 324S Second avenue, south Birmingham, internally in- jured.

 Negroes.
 w. P. Arlington, passenger, Cardiff,
 
 side.
 Finnis Addy, passenger, 2411 Third ave- hue, Birmingham, confusion right leg and hip.
 Bell Harper, passenger, Jett sprained shoulder.
 Ruth Murphy, passenger, Mulga, back, neck and shoulders sprained. The train makes several trips each day on the Short Creek division, being made up of freight cars with two passenger coaches attached to the rear. Two hours previous to the accident the train had passed the spot and was on the return trip to Ensley. There is fill forming the approach to the trestle which crosses the creek, and the rain anN high water from the creek had softened the dirt com- posing the fill.
 When the engine reached the fill the ground began to give away, and by the time the passenger coaches had reached it the dirt and track had given way com pletely. The speed of the train carried l the engine and freight cars across the trestle. but the passenger coaches fell into the creek, only the tops of them ap- 1 ptdIluS dDONe WdieT. AIIeT crOSSlnB the l creek the engine also left the track, while l the freight cars remained on the rails | Engineer Lambeth and Fireman Rut- l ledge jumped just as the engine toppled l from the track, and in this manner un- doubtedly saved their lives. Brakemen Woodall and Collins received their in- juries by being thrown heavily from the cars.
 That the four negroes were not killed outright or drowned Is regarded as re- markable, all of them being carried to the l bottom of the creek in the coaches Like | caged rats they climbed out of the sub merged cars and f1oated to the surface of 1 the creek.
 l An engine with a passenger coach at l tached was started from Birmingham inn mediately with Dr. E. T. Solomon aboard, while other physicians along the line were l picked up. The injured persons were l placed on this train and rushed back l to Birmingham, where Lige Loy's ann 1 balances removed them to the Copeland l Solomon-Turner infirmary. At the infrm- ary it was stated last night that all of them were getting along all right, and i that none of the injuries would prove l fatal.
