NO NEW RECRUITS
IRREGULAR ARMY.
Local Office Receiving Only Old
Men Whose Terms Have
Expired.

AS the end of the appropriation year
draws near and in view of the fact
that the regular army is pretty well up
to its full authorized strength, the local
recruiting Office is not accepting new
men. While for one reason or another
young men are occasionally Offering
themselves for service, their appllca-
tions are IN every case declined,
The only persons being received as
soldiers are those who have heretofore
served a term. They are regarded as
more desirable than new men FOR the
reason that they are already familiar
with drills and with the entire work
OF a soldier, and no trouble need he
gone to In putting them through the
awkward squad stage, BESIDES, TO
deprive them of re-enlistment before
the time limit after their discharge has
expired would be to rob them OF the
chance OF securing the three-quarters
pay which comes to every man after
thirty years honorable service,
bounty Is paid for the second enlist
ment, consisting OF the three months
pay while the man was out following
discharge,
Only three or four men month are
now being enlisted under these cir
cumstances at the Richmond recruiting
station, 1t is regarded as likely that
after the new appropriation year begins
lon July new recruits may be received.

FRISCO MAY NOT BUILD
NEW DEPOT THIS YEAR

1t is probable that Birmingham will not
receive new freight depot at the hands
of the Frisco railroad this year by rea-
son of the rate war which was recently
started.
The information was given out here
that on account of the railroads being
uncertain as to the final elimination of
that controversy the freight depot to have
been erected by the Frisco railroad will
probably not be considered this year.
As given out by A. D. Lightner, ex-
ecutive head of the Frisco, heres several
weeks ago. a budget has been prepared
for the fiscal year which begins July :,
This budget carries with it a request for
a depot which will cost considerably
over $4,000.
1t was hoped that this depot would be
constructed this year but severe trim
ming will be in vogue when the budget
is passed upon by Carl Gray, in charge
OF the Frisco's finances, and 1t is not
expected that this expenditure will be
authorized in view of present rate I'M
rest.
A. D. Lightner of the Frisco said, in
speaking of the matter:
THE budget was sent in several weeks
ago, but will not be passed upon for some
few days yet / am uncertain as to what
will happen. I had hoped this expendi-
ture would be made in the fiscal year
ARRANGEMENTS, but in view of such a
mountain of legislation and rate uncer-
tainty l cannot foretell what will hap
pen 1t may be that the appropriation
will be passed over until next year. Again,
the matter may be passed upon favor
ably within the next few weeks"

SEEK PROTECTION
IN COTTON TRADE
NEW WORKERS WILL BE HERE
NEXT WEEk-PLANS UNDER WAY
FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF VALID
ATTN AGENCIES IN THE SOUTH

Representatives of New York financial
agents who are making a tour OF the
south are expected to be in Birmingham
about the first of next week. The agents
are looking into the cotton situation
throughout the southern states for the
financial people of New York who are
trying to formulate some plans for pro-
lection against such cotton failures as
have taken place In the south recently.
The agents are Joel Rathbone. Kennedy
Owens, and j. H. Towner. They have
visited Memphis, New Orleans, and other
cities. While nothing definite is known
as to the work to be done here it has
been suggested that perhaps meeting
would be held with local cotton brokers'
railroad men, insurance people and oth-
ers who are interested in the cotton busi-
ness. some of whom were losers in the
failure of knight, Yancey & Company
of Decatur. 1t is supposed the commit
tee wishes to recommend the establish
ment of a validating agency for bills of
lading.
WAD. Nesbitt, who is a member of the
firm of Knight, Yancey & Company,
said last night that if movement Is
launched for the organization OF an
agency to protect bills OF laulng OF ware
house certificates he believed Birming-
ham would be considered as a point to
establish such an agency.
However, | know nothing Definite
about the visit of the New Workers. said
Mr. Nesbitt Il understand they are
coming to Birmingham to look into the
cotton situation. 1t is believed some
plans will be outlined to protect cotton
and financial interests from such affairs
as have recently taken place in the south.
New York as well as the south has de-
manded some protection on bills of lad
ing and something must be done to guar
antee to every one adequate protection
in every bill issued. hope Birmingham
will be chosen as the place to establish
such an agency to keep account of cor
rect bills of lading. However, that ques-
ton will be settled later"
Birmingham ships about 5000 bales of
cotton every year and it is planned to
establish validating agencies at every
point from which as much as 10000 bales
are shipped.

NESBITT EXPLAINS THE
TUSCUMBIA SITUATION

The refusal of the Alabama railroad
commissioners to order the Southern
railway to stop erecting a depot on a
new site has created quite a little com
ment from people of Tuscunibia who
filed the petition requesting the COM
pany not to change the depot.
The case has attracted so much at
tention and the principle involved is
so general in effect that Commissioner
W. D. Nesbitt gave the commission
side of the case yesterday. He said
THE Tuscumbia depot matter was
one that we handled with exceeding
care. The cause was peculiar and while
we decided against the petitioners, we
did so strictly according to law and
the justice of the case.
"The depot at the point involved is
not on a line with Sheffield. The COM
Sheffield and place .Y'' in order that
turning would be unnecessary. The
return of the new trackage was some
distance from the present depot and
it wass planned to move the depot on
the opposite side of the city from the
present site. If We had decided that
the railroad could not do that then new
track work sucn as strengthening out
lines, and cutting down grades con
not have been done simply on the
principle that new cuts which elm
mate depots constructed years back
were left on the survey. Railroads
should be permitted to straighten out
their lines, connect up with others and
make any improvements they wish so
long as they provide adequate facil-
tiles for the accommodation of the trav-
cling public. The Tuscumbia situation
may involve the loss of some money
to individuals, but that could not be
taken In account when deciding a ques-
ton that was clearly a reasonable re-
quest on the part of the railroads."
1t has been given out that the new
depot to be erected at Tuscumbia Will
be better than the old one, and whiie
on an opposite side of the city, will be
more attractive than formerly.

INFORMAL OPENING OF THE PROP

Hundreds of people-yea thousands-will
go to Corey this afternoon to see the Won
derful new model city-the greatest under
taking of the kind that the south has
ever known-the first and probably the
last.
This is only an informal opening before
the property Is completed, yet the interest
aroused has been such that thousands
have already visited the property and
thousands will go to Corey today.
The informal exercises will include
short speeches by prominent local and
out-of-town men, after which the public
will be invited to inspect the property and
those who desire to do so will be afforded
the opportunity of making application
for lots.
There will be extra street cars on the
lines to and from Ensley. which connect
at Avenue E and Nineteenth street,
Ensley. with the Corey cars. No auction
sale will take place, and no lots will be
sold except by application. The applica-
lions will be acted on after today, and
preference will be given those who will
agree to build.

Change Name of Church

BY a unanimous vote of the congrega-
ton of the Cumberland Presby terrain
church yesterday. the name of the church
was changed to Grace Presbyterian
Church" This action was taken to carry
out the terms of union between the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church and the
Presbyterian Church, L. s. A. 1nasmuch
as there are two straight Presbyterian
churches in Ensley, 1t became necessary
to adol- some individual name for this
local church to distinguish it.
The pastor, Rev. l.. A. Reager, states
that this change of name does not indi-
cate any change of doctrine or polity It
still has the same connections, being in
the Presbytery of Birmingham and in
the Synod of Alabama. The only differ
ence is that it will from this time on be
known as Grace Presbyterian church"
and all future announcements through the
papers and in other pulpits will use the
name, "Grace Presbyterian church, 3

FRISCO HANDLES
HEAVY TONNAGE
Over Seven Hundred Loaded Freight
Cars Handled on Southeast
ern Division Sunday

AS an indication of the local railroad
business conditions 1t was given out yes
terday by the Frisco management that
700 loaded freight cars were handled Sun
day which was the heaviest business for
any day this year. In order to handle
this immense tonnage twenty-six freight
trains were operated over the southeast
ern division. A part of this business was
heavy shipments of meats from western
points to the south which would seem to
indicate that the boycott on meat, as a.
cure for the high cost of living, had
been somewhat abandoned.
Other companies in this district are also
sharers of better business. The Seaboard
replied to inquiries by saying that bust
ness was brisk and Improvement in ton
mage is noted daily. The Southern is
handling more cars than during last
month and the Louisville and Nashville
operate special freight trains daily with
increased cargoes.
1t is confidently believed BY local rail-
way agents that the car service reports
for June, while not bumper will show a
decided improvement over the month of
June 1909
