Officials of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company and the West End authorities got together yesterday afternoon in reference to the street car trouble on the Powderly line, and today the snail pace at which the cars have been running since Sunday will be a thing of the past.
 The car officials agreed that there would be no more reckless running of cars and also that more cars would be placed on the line in rush hours, while the sched- ules would be maintained At the reg ular meeting of the West End council last night the ordinance placing the speed limit at eight miles per hour between blocks and four miles at crossings was repealed In it's place one was adopted making the limit 15 miles between blocks and eight miles at crossings.
 Yesterday morning found a large num- ber of people walking to Birmingham, many of them coming the three miles from West End to Birmingham without sighting a car, while one lanky walker al- legged that he overlook and passed one car. Even the slow speed was telling on the motormen and conductors, and one of them claimed that he was threat ened with prostration.

TWO LEAGUES MAY
 BECOME OUTLAWS

Little Rock, Ark. May 4-when shown the Associated Press dispatch tonight from Cincinnati regarding the action of the National Baseball commission Pres ident Kavanaugh of the Southern league said:
 This action of the national commits sion will not have the slightest effect on the Southern league. However, I shall write to the national commission tomor- row and protest against the statement that the revised national agreement Is to be set aside because of the failure of the presidents of the American associa- tion and the Eastern league to ratify it. The agreement became binding when the national commission and the national board of the association agreed to it.
 Tt is my opinion that the failure of the league to ratify this agreement means that they are preparing to become out law organizations.
