GUS recommendation for changes in
the present law regulating transporta-
tion companies are contained in the
twenty-third annual report OF the In
ter-state Commerce Commission trans
mitted today to the congress.
Notwithstanding the recommends
tions made, however. the report. in
this respect, Is notable rather for
what 1t does not, than for WHAT II
does, contain. Five Of the sagses-
tions made by the special committee
selected by President Taft to draft
changes in the existing interstate
commerce act are offered in the re-
port. It is known that the commits
sion, as a body, fayors the plans pro-
posed by that committee; but, as a
matter OF courtesy 1t has refrained,
in It's report, from discussing the
changes in advance of the special mes
sage on the subject which President
Taft has indicated he will send to
the congress.
The commission expresses its con-
yiction that certain amendments to
present law are necessary to enable
It fully to accomplish the purposes OF
congress. Briefly summarized, the
proposed amendments are as follows:
That a physical valuation be made
Of the interstate railroads OF the
country. The commission points to
the difficulty experienced in certain
cases where its orders are attacked
in court in meeting the testimony as
to physical value offered by the car
riers, and say that If its rates are to
be defended, some method must be
furnished by which value can be
established which shall be binding on
the courts and the commission
The commission again suggests that
1t be given power to prevent advances
in rates or changes in regulations or
practices to the disadvantage OF the
shipper, pending an investigation into

There was good run of quarantine
cattle here last week, 121 car loads
for the week, nearly double the sup
ply of the previous week, and more
than twice as many as corresponding
week last year. Unusually heavy sup
plies of fed cattle from native terri
tory at all the markets, driven in by
severe winter weather all over the
corn area. which came before feeders
were prepared for it, resulted in a de-
cline OF 40 to rs cents in prices Of
short fed steers. The break was not
quite half as much on she stuff, while
butcher grades of steers, under which
head the most Of the quarantine steers
come, declined only IS to 40 cents,
and bulls held steady, calves a quarter
lower. The biggest run OF the week
in quarantine division arrived Thurs
day. when so cars arrived composed
mostly of short fed steers weighing
from $50 to 1860 lbs, which sold at
s4.l5 to $3.50 The supply today is
25 cars. market 10 to Is higher, steers

HOWARD'S TEAM
BAPTIsTS HAVE FINE PROSPECTS
FOR A SUCCESSFUL SEASON.
WILL PLAY BARONS MARCH is.
PRACTICE BEGINS MONDAY.

r. M Denney, Towards popular sedond
baseman of the last two seasons, has been
elected to pilot the baseball aggregation
during the season of 1909. He is a finished
and aggressive player, who is in the game
every minute and is sure to make a most
excellent captain.
Manager Wood has completed arrange
ments for a game with Molesworth's
Barons to be played at West End March
16. This game will give the collegians a
chance to face the music before their
series with the University of Alabama.
Regular practice will begin under the
direction of Captain Denney and Man
ager Wood on Monday afternoon. Prac-
tice for the first week will be confined
mostly to working the kinks out of the
throwing arms and getting accustomed to
the feel of the ball. About % men will
be out and a rafting good team should
be picked from that bunch.

and cutting her on the neck, and then
left her body lying there in the sedge all
day and that night put the body in the
fire and burned it with the other bodies
1t was after the fire that the search was
made, and after the body of Nettie Is sup
posed to have been removed from this
sedge field The supposition is that Glenn
ents did not want this place searched
knowing that blood would be found and a
place that would show a struggle
This case seems to be a puzzle to the
lawyers Many believe that Bob Glenn
ents is innocent, but the majoi<ty of them
are OF the opinion that he is guilty AS a
rule Clements has the sympathy of the
people in the Decaturs, but nearly every
person from near his home seems con-
hdent that he is guilty.
Considering the gravity of the charge
the case has been disposed of most ran
ldly' yet every point has been covered by
both sides and covered we'll. though no
time has been wasted. The entire cost
or the trial to the state will be less than
5000. This indeed speaks well for Judge
THOMAS w. Vert, who is sitting on the
case and who has shown himself to be a
most able jurist regardless of the fact
that he is the youngest Judge in Ala
bama.

TO FORM NATIONAL
FIELD TRIAL CLUB

Montgomery, February 27.-(Special.)-
movement to organize a Field Trials club.
to be national in its scope, with headquar-
ters in Montgomery, is well under way,
and within a few days a call will prob
ably be issued by State Game and Fish
Commissioner Wallace for a meeting of
sportsmen to be held in Montgomery to
perfect the organization of the club.
The general sentiment seems to be that
the club should be called 1.-THE Southern
Field Trials club" that 1t should be in
corporated, and at once put on a solid
basis and on an equal footing with the
best clubs in the country. From all indi-
cations, j. Kirk Jackson, prominent
business man of Montgomery, formerly
secretary of state and also private secre-
tary to the governor during four admin
istrations, will be president, and State
Game and Fish Commissioner John II.
Wallace secretary.
The trials will be held on the best
grounds in the United States. This will
be an important event in the field trials
world. 1t will materially assist the Geor-
gia club. Year after year a band of en-
thusiastic sportsmen of that state have
made a commendabe effort to have sue
cessful trials, but they have been handi-
capped in their efforts for the reason that
handlers hesitated to take the expensive
trip down there and then the long jump
to the United States trials.
BY proper arrangement OF dates the
new club will form a link between the
Georgia trials and those held in Mis-
sissippi and at Grand Junction, Tenn,
thereby justifying the handlers in going
to Georgia. Sportsmen are expecting great
results from the new club.

ents gave evidence before the coroner's
jury, according to the witness, Clements
said: Tom Edmondson was jealous of
his wife on account of Henry CulDreth
and every other man and that Edmond
son had frequently said he would kill
his family and burn everything up; that
Edmondson was also Jealous of him on
account of his wife,
Tom Johnson another member of this
coroner's jury, testified to the same as
Mr.. Bell, but added The first time Bob
Clements testified before the coroner's
jury the wounds on Nettie Edmondsons
body had not been discovered, but the
second time Clements testified the wounds
had been discovered" On being crossed
by the defendant the witness said the
members of the coroner's jury did not
know Of these wounds on Nettie's body
the first time Clements testified, but adj
mitted that other people might have
known of the wounds. He didn't know
just what time the wounds We're dscov-
cred. He said he had seen the body, but
had not noticed the wounds until after
Clements had testified the first time.
John Lenox, another member of the COR
oner's jury, corroborated the other wit
nesses regarding the two stories Bob
Clements had told the coroners jury.
When crossed by the defendant the wit
ness said the verdict of that coroner's
jury was that the Edmondsons had come
to their death at the hands of parties
unknown. This written verdict was pro-
duceo by the state and was offered in evil
Gence Some time after the sitting of the
first coroner's jury a second jury was
called by the coroner, and the verdict of
this second jury was that the Edmond
sons had come to their death at the
hands of Tom Edmondson, the head of
the Edmondson family This witness was
asked by Attorney Callahan of the de-
Tense: "Mr. LenoX, where is the verdict
of the second coroner's jury?" And the
witness answered: "Oh, / don't know
anything about that" We'll, stand aside;
you may stand aside" said Mr.. Callahan.
State Closes RebuttaI.
The state closed the rebuttal with the
evidence of w. Il. Stringer He testified
that he helped to search for the Edmond
sons after the fire. and that Bob Clements
was also in the search, and that he and
Clements walked together. Said the wit
ness: II suggested we search the place
in the strip of broom sedge where little
Nettie Edmondson was afterward said
to have been killed. Rob Clements sad
That would be useless, for it has been
searched twice already The witness
Clements the place was not searched. The
searching party of about 80 men disband-
ed at that time and went home.
This spot of sedge grass in question is
said to be the place where Bob Clements
caught Nettie Edmondson and stabbed her
to death by sticking knife In her chest

PREFACE TO THE OPENING

Wordsworth and the association amount
to nothing, but that all the honor as
we'll as all the dscredit must fall upon
and be borne by the city of Birmingham
the situation is presented in another as
pect.
This year, for instance, there are nu-
merous reasons, more so than in any
other season, why every fan in Birming-
ham must stand together.
In the first place Birmingham will be
represented by a young team, the ma
jority of the members of which will next
month for the first time see the south
ern country They will need encourage
ment, and it would require neither iron
bound nerve, bravery, shrewdness, diplo-
macy nor craftsmanship to tear them to
pieces. A coward could do that much
or an awkward clown.
In the second place Birmingham last
season finished at the very bottom of
the ladder. The spirit of the town, as a
result. is bad and demoralized, every
man has his hammer ready to smash,
and as a consequence Encouragement
could easily be accomplished even be-
In the third place in the beginning of
the season Birmingham is not favored by
the schedule. The young players will not
open at home with the local fans en-
couraging them, and, as a consequence,
it is probable that they will return from
the road with more defeats than victories.
In the second place as has been pointed
out, prior to July II the locals will play
more games on the road than they play
at home
So there are at least three good reasons
why the fans should get together and
pull. It is unwise to stand apart even
though you say nothing. 1t is just as
easy to cheer and as cheap as to dis
courage and tear down. There should be
enough civic pride in Birmingham to
cause the fans to rally to the support
of Manager Molesworth and aid him in
making a start under favorable auspices.
Mol worth, personally, has always done
his share towards winning games for the
city, and a fair trial is due him in all
justice
There is no way of measuring the good
that a hard pull in unison will accom-
plish. Birmingham, in 1906 won the pen
nant of the Southern league with an in
ferior team. But the fans were behind
the players, and the writers were COW
ering up defects and encouraging. Last
season, with a team that should have
finished high, Birmingham wound up on
the bottom. But last season there was
internal dissention and strife, and the
fans were in the knockers row.
To our mind Wordsworth has promis-
ing bunch of youngsters, which, if en-
couraged, will finish we'll. But the finish
ing place depends solely on the esprit de
corps of the fans of Birmingham A
winning team keeps people in good hui
NOR, and good humor is a vast business
asset. So for the good of Birmingham
let's get thick again, and do our little
share.
