 Humanity sprang to the rescue of tha natural human desire to retreat hastily, and soon the little things were covered and laid beside their mother, who herself lay with legs and arms pointing to the ceiling. The mother was very small. very white, and very lttred-iooking. and did not seem to take much interest In things. but the father was even less concerned; he sat up on his hind legs munching piece of cheese, the piece de resistance of any diet that can Dc offered white rats.
 The baby rats are part of q family of white rats the city physician uses to make experiments with inocuiating them with all sorts of diseases for the Nnke of humanity There Is whole cage full of them, all as tame as house bred kittens. but the ones in the office are not fed on serum in tbsc city. their. professional incubating use for germs, being only called upon. when they are taken to a farm outside the city.

 Trial.
 Birmingham, Feb 2-(SpecLai. .)-It was announced in the City Court Wednesday afternoon. that Governor B B. Conner had been called to Mont gomery on official business and that the plaintiff would not be ready in the case of B. B. Conner vs. the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. The defense resisted a continuance and insisted that the cuurt make some ruling.
 For the purpose of expeditlng maj ters, Judge Charles ". Ferguson agreed to hear testimony as to whether or not certain interrogatories propounded to the railroad had been sufficiently an- swered. Judge Samuel D. Weakley, E. H. Cabaniss and Captain Frank White appeared for Governor Conner, while " | Crubb represented the railroad.
 The case was set for Monday, but an- other case was taken up, and at ! o'clock Wednesday afternoon the Conner case was reached. At that time Attof- ney Grnbb insisted that the plaintiff 2n- nounce whether or not that side was ready. He held that 1t would be waste of time to go into a discussion of tn- terroRatories unless 1t was known that tho case would go to trial. The plain tiY claimed that certain questions had not been answered and that 1t depended largely upon the courts ruling con- cerninw tha interrogatories as to vvhetfter or not the plaintiff would be l ready Then came the announcement | that the plaintiff was not ready at that time. but that Governor Conner might be here by the time the tnterrosatories were settled.

particularly DESTROYS of hearing from eve
ryone who expects to attend the conven-
ton, in order that their credentials may
be prepared. The Workers conference
will begin November %. The convention
proper will be held from December 6 to 8
inclusive. .-.-.-
Mr.. Richards will make an address on

ing able to secure a federal revenue IL

widely representative in the history of

and 1 was driving slowly because the
street was dark and there was a heavy
fog. 1 could not see more than Is feet
in front of me.
Suddenly 1 saw what appeared to be
the form of a man lying across the car
track face downward. I threw on the
emergency brake and turned the car so
sharply that It reared on one side, but
the turn was 50 close that no machine on
earth could make 1t, and 1 struck the low
er limbs of Mr.. Anderson. The front
wheel of my car then struck the curbing
and bent the tire rods and the steering
gear.
Mrs. Anderson screamed and as soon
as could help her out / sent her into the
home Of Mrs. King to telephone for Mr..
Seely. She did not go near the body
and did not know it was her husband
until she returned to the street and over
heard the conversation. 1 told her at
first it was not Mr.. Anderson, but later
admitted to her that it was. When Mr..
Seely came he carried her to the home OF
her sister, Mrs Hudson Moore.
II have been driving and manufacturing
automobiles for ten years, and this is
the first accident 1 ever participated in.
1t completely unnerved me and deeply
deplore It." So .. -.. .-.- ..s-.-t-

that this had caused the car to run into
mine. / Immediately turned my machine
around and sped back to the scene, find
ing a group of people standing over the
body of Mr.. Anderson.
Mr.. Anderson was not thrown under
my machine, as 1. was too far ahead of
him when he had been struck"
WHAT DIR. ]. NJ. CRAWFORD SAYS
DR.. ]. M. Crawford, father Of the dTi-
yer of the fatal machine. makes the fol-
lowing statement:
81 did not know of this sad accident
until O'Clock Sunday morning.
II cannot at this time add any fur
Their particulars to 1t. Since its occur
renee my son has peen Frustrated, and
practically irrational.
HE only fears that he was the inno-
cent cause of a friends death, and this
knowledge has Frustrated him mentally
and physically. My investigation Sun
day convinces me that he was passing
the other car and that he never saw
Mr. Anderson until he struck him II
has been my habit to walk home at
night My son knew this. When my
sons automobile struck Mr.. Anderson he
Immediately thought he had struck me.
He was alone in his car. The horror of
the occurrence completely unnerved him,
and his only thought was to get assist
ance. My son-in-law, Joseph d. Rhodes,
lives about 200 yards from the locality
of the accident. My son hurried to Mr..
Rhodes home and told him of the acct
dent Immediately. Mr.. Rhodes called to
his next door neighbor, z. w. Born. who
was on his front veranda- Mr.. Born. Mr..
Rhodes and my son started hurriedly
back.
Mr.. Rhodes saw that my son was col
lapsing, and took him back into his
home.
Mr.. Rhodes and Mr.. Born ran to the
scene of the accident, and were among
the first there, and Mr.. Born helped to
lift Mr.. Anderson into Mr.. Hills auto
mobile. AS soon as possible, Mr.. Rhodes
went to Mr.. Hudson Moore's home and
told him of my sons part in the deplor-
able accident.
my son made no effort to conceal
the accident. He was alone, he got as
sistance, and Immediately started back
with Mr.. Born and Mr.. Rhodes, then
collapsed and was not allowed to return.
His condition Sunday is such that he can
make no statement himself. My regret is
too great to express.
My deep sympathy has been extend
ed to Mr. Anderson's family and they
have been kind enough to state that the
realized the occurrence was purely an ac-
cident."
MR.. CRONINGER's STATEMENT.
The following statement has been made
by R. Harry CEoninger. representing the
Pennsylvania Auto company, who was
carrying Mrs. Anderson home in his au-
tomobile when the machine struck the
body Of Mr.. Anderson:
when we left Mr.. Seely's home I told
Mrs. Anderson that her husband might
be coming to meet her on a street car
and that we would look for him as the
cars passed.
