finally decided after Dr. Jones had iden-
titled the statement as the one signed by
the girl, that It could not be admitted
as evidence as the statement made by
the girl that the operation was GRIM

STEPS TAKEN TO
FIGHT INJUNCTION

Steps have been taken to fight the In
junction proceedings instituted last week
by Attorney General Alex NJ. CARRIER
against twelve alleged blind tigers OF
Birmingham. Demurrers to the original
bills and applications to dissolve the IN
functions were filed yesterday In the
city court by attorneys for the defen-
dants in the cases of the state vs.. Ed
ward Hickman, Charlie Cruise and Harry
Dottenheimer; the state VS.. c. l.. Fulton,
J. C. Ferguson, Tom Smith and Claude
Pearson and the state VS.. Johnnie Col
Inns and Harry Flowers.
The demurrers and applications in the
above cases were filed in the city court
yesterday afternoon by J. w. Davidson,
William Vaughn and Smith & Smith, at
torneys for the men against whom the
injunctions were issued.
II is ayerred in the demurrers and APP
plications filed that there is no equity
in the bills filed by CARRIER: that no facts
were given to show that the places en-
Joined were nuisances; that the action
was unconstitutional in that 1t seeks to
deprive citizens of rightful property with
out due process of law; and that section
10 of the Fuller bill, under which the
were issued, is unconstitu-
tional.
A motion to dissolve the injunction
previously granted against w. E. Nc

son & Davis, attorneys for McFadden.
The averments made in this motion were
about the same as those In the other ap-

Do NOT WANT THEIR
LICENSES RAISED

A dozen Birmingham merchants, rep
resenting various interests, appeared
before the miscellaneous committee of
the City Council last night and pro-
tested against any raises in the pres
ent schedule.
They were surprised by Chairman
Dan A. Hogan who assured them that
the committee did not intend to raise
the merchants licenses, and that very
few changes will be made in the sched-
ules.
The wholesale dealers were repre-
scented by B. F. Moore, the retailers by
Colman Blach. B. II. Cooper and John
w. Tomlinson, and the insurance COM
panies by r. A. Brown.
All these gentlemen made speeches
assuring the committee that they were
satisfied with present schedules, but
claiming that licenses are at the top
notch and should not be increased. The
result of the meeting was that all par
ties seemed perfectly satisfied.
The miscellaneous committee took no
action but adjourned to meet again
this week Active work Will proceed
in drawing up the schedule for next
years licenses in time to present them
at the next council meeting.

BIG DEMURRAGE CASE
HEARD IN CITY COURT

The big demurrage case of the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad VS.. the Ten
nessee Coal Iron and Railroad company
was begun yesterday in the first division
of the city court, Judge c. C. Nesmith
presiding.
The case involves the payment to the
Louisville and Nashville Of demurrage on
cars belonging to the latter railroad.
which are alleged 10 have been detained
on the tracks of the Birmingham South
ern railroad, In transit or delivered to the
Tennessee company.
The case now up will be taken as a test
case for a large number of suits pending,
which were brought against the Tonnes
see company by other railroads. The
claims of all the railroads for demurrage
on cars detained is said to amount to
many thousands OF dollars, and the case
row on trial is considered one of the most
important docketed in the city court this
fall.
Tillman, Bradley & Morrow attorneys
for the Louisville and Nashville, are be-
ing aided in the case by attorneys repre-
senting other railroads, and quite an ar
ray of legal talent Is involved In the
trial. Percy & Benners are counsel for
the Tennessee company.
The trial of the present case will prob
ably consume the most of this week. A
jury was struck yesterday morning, and
most of the remainder of the day was
taken up with pleadings. Witnesses will
probably be called to the stand today.
The attorneys for the Tennessee COM
pany take the position that the Brming-
ham S<hern Railroad company as cor
portaion is liable for the detention of the
cars, while 1t is argued by the opposition
that the Tennessee company owns the
controlling interest in the stock of the
railroad company.
The suit of the Louisville and Nash
vile now on trial is for the recovery of
$4,000 damages. 1t has been pending for
Is months.
