 TROUBLE.
BOndhOIdera Want to Know How They Are to Secure Their Money A Conference Is
 HNlA


 Boston, Jan. 1.-Holders of the thir- ty-year 5 per cent bonds of the At lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Rail- road, an enterprise largely financed by Boston capitalists, found. upon pre- senting the January coupons at the old Colony Trust Company today, that the interest was not being paid. The only reason assigned was mo funds. :"
 The company's officers were In con- ference with attorneys this evening.
 The railroad system is practically a new one and is not yet in complete operation.
 By interests associated with the prop erty, 1t is said the reason for the non payment of the January interest Is that the road has not yet had an oppor- tunity to get satisfactorily started.
 The Atlanta. Birmingham and Att lantic Railroad Company was incor- porated in Georgia in 1905. In 1906 the company consolidated without changing the name. with the Atlantic and Birmingham Railway Company. Iu tha system are 64S miles of road. The company has also steamboat lines oon- meeting Brunswick, Ga. with New York, Havana and other points.
 There are outstanding S35,00o.00 of capital stock. including s1O.0O0,000 preferred, equal to 5 per cent cumula-

 It is the bonds of this issue on which the January coupons remain unpaid. The default does not affect. 1t is un- derstood. the holders of the s4.090, 900 of first gold 5's of the old Atlantic and Birmingha am Railway.

Park Opera House In Erie ts Emptied of . large Assdiense By
 Rsise 0f the Fire.

~ ls-a sfM&&s E 7- Erias Pa. Jan. t,--s.Ifsen siaes shew going for Gods sakef'' called Abraham Louch, fireman of the Park Opera House to the performers on the stage at 10:15 o'clock tonight when he dis covered that the building was on fire.
 His cool head probably averted q repetition of Chipagos Iroquois Thea tre horror, for before the big audi ence realized the. situation, the house had been almost emptfed. Although there were many narrow escapes and a dozen women fainted and had to be car ried out, no one was seriously injured and much of the building was saved from destruction.
 Every one of the 1,500 seats in the theatre was filled. Louch saw smoke issuing from the floor of the gallery and sent in a still alarm. He quietly appealed to the actors to continue the act. Then he stepped to the front and called to the audience to file out in order, giving them to understand that the fire was in an adjoining struc- ture.
 No one tried to crowd until smoke began to fill the building. Then a crush began. The fire department saved scores from Jumping from the fire escapes by getting the ladders up.
 In the front seats of the balcony were many women and children, and several overcome by fright. fainted and were carried out.
 Fire Chief McMahon expressed amaze. ment that the house was emptied with ' out fatality in view of the fact that standing room tickets had been sold.
 The fire is believed to have been originated In defective electrical wir- ing between the ceiling of the balcony and the floor of the gallery.

NIGHT RIDERS, TRIAL
TESTIMONY ON BOTH SIDES WILL
 END MONDAY,
The TireSOme Alibi Testimony of the Defendants Was Continued Yess
 terday as Though it Was EOt a HOlfdav.


 Union City. Tenn. Jan. 1.-The de- fense in the night-rider trials spent the entire day today piling up alibi and character testimony which the State in turn proceeded to demolish.
 Witness after witness swore that the defendants bore good regulations. but were forced to admit that they were generally believed to be niRht-riders. One witness. who swore that the States witnesses were men of bad reputation admitted that he was collecting a purse to defray the expenses of the defense. Not one of the twenty six examined told singe new fact. It seems now that the testimony on both sides will be all in by Monday or Tuesday of next week.
 The trial of the night-rlders was not suspended because of New Years day, and the tiresome alibi testimony for the defendants was continued as though it was not holiday. The jury has become very restless and was not only averse to an adjournment over New Years Day, but it's members urge lengthier daily sessions In order that they may get the trial over in the opened this morning Judge Jones said E
 This is the first day of the new year The glad season of the year, when angels sing of peace and good will, and when a clean page is com menced in life's ledgers. I make these remarks as a hint which the wise will do well to accept"

MAY TEST NEW LAW
THE GAY-sHAT"rUCk SALOON REC
 t ULATHON LAW.
The Attorney General of Louisiana and the City Attorney of New Orleans Wide Apart fn
 Opinion.

New. Orleans, Jan. 1.--Variously in- terpreted and threatened with a test of it's ~constitutionality in some par ticulars, the Gay-Shattuck saloon reg ulation law, which went into effect in Louisiana at F o'clock last night, will compel many changes. some of them drastic. in the present method Of con ducting the whiskey business in this State
 The Attorney General of Louisiana and the City Attorney of New O*1eans are wide apart tn their construeteAn of the law. The latter holds that saloon keepers who are already in business. need not secure permits to continue for 1909, the Attorney General thinks that tn prescribed distance of 300 feet or more between saloons and school houses or churches mean measurement by a straight line. The City Attor- ney believes 1t means street or road measurement. Tn the issuance of city licenses. the Mayor orders the follow ing out of. the City Attorneys opinion. As to State licenses. the Attorney
 Generai's opinion must be adhered to. The la.sh of sopis saost seems hdst nd to lind ffs only way of settlement in the courts.
 The clause of the new law which prohibits foreigners from operating bar room will undoubtedly involve a
 test on constitutional lines. Many claim that 1t is an abrogation of treaty
 rights which they participate in. Among the prohibitions of the Gay Shattuck law are: That saloon and grocery shall not be conducted with out a partition between; that liquor licenses shall not be issued to a wo- man or girl and that no woman, girl
 or minor shall serve in a bar room; that foreigners and residents of other
 States shall not be issued licenses that
 pianos and musical devices shall be
 barred from bar rooms; that an of-
 ficer of a brewery or distillery, or
 even a @tockh older. shall not be per
 mitted to obtain a license to conduct a bar room, and that those financially
 interested in brewery or distillery
 shall not have any interest in a bar
 room. or even in. the lease of the premises thereof.
