Pensacola, Fla. June 21.-(Special)- Prominent citizens named as commit tee to get subscriptions to the amount of $250, 1000 in order to assure the build ing os the road to Andalusia. Ala, were at work today and met with no trouble in getting large blocks of stock taken in the proposed railway.
 Richard Tillis of Montgomery and c. A. o'Neal of Andalusia are to take a similar amount. and the statement that the Montgomery man had confi- dence in such road to the extent of putting up a quarter of s million dol lars, caused business men here to look upon 1t with much favor.
 A meeting Is to be held tomorrow night of those interested, when both Tillis and o'Neal will be in the city and at that time the proposition to be submitted to the City Council will be gone over.
 There is no doubt but that the Coun- ell will grant any reasonable request made by the promoters of the road, as it is very much desired to be connected with the Central of Georgia.

PAVING BONDS SENT
 BACK TO LITHoGRAPHER

Because 25o paving bonds, represent ing $125, 900, failed to bear upon their ornate faces the fac simile of City Treasurer Robert Tait's signature, they were returned to Nashville to be re- Autographed, after having been re- ceived by Mayor Teague.
 The bonds are of the issue which was sold to Lawrence IL Parkhurst, of Boston, and cover, among other streets, the expense of paving Perry, Lawrence, Clayton, Goldthwaite and gravelling Forrest Avenue.
 The failure to inscribe the fac simile signature will mean a delay of sev- eral days, probably more than a week, before the bonds can be delivered, and the money. which will enable an early start, can be obtained.

MILLIONS LOST BY
 RAILROADS IN ILLINOIS

Chicago, June 21--A bulletin made public here today by the Bureau of Railway News and Statistics. shows that the operation of the two-cent fare law in Illinois cost the railroads of the State $15.3o9.s00 during the last fiscal year.
 On this point the Bureau takes issue with the report of the Illinois Railway and Warehouse Commission, which states that the roads showed an in crease of nearly two millions in earn- ings because of increased traval due to the lower rates.
 This showing in the report is said to have been due to a change in the meth cd of accounting and not to inaccuracy.
