 If the writers of the anonymous let ters that I receive in great numbers think that they frighten me away rom any place that they warn me against thev are greatly mistaken An anony- mons letter only makes an officer or the law more zealous. Then the sheriiL laughed in a reminiscent way Asheo what was on his mind, he said:
 .sI received a letter of this kind last week threatening to kill me if l raioeo a place on Third avenue. Witnin TWO hours after I received the note the pro- prietor of the place referred to was un- der bond for violation of the prohibition law and we had unmistakable evidence that he was guilty"

WASHINGTON AND LEE IS
 PLANNING FOR OLD ALABAMA

E Lexington, Va, November 7.-tSpe- riaI. )-The cancelling of the game with A. and M. has in no way interfered with the spirit and progress of the xouad. At present the squad still mum bers about 35 men who are all enthu- eiastic and look for the deciding con test with North Carolina and Alabama with a great deal of confidence in sue z cess. The reasons for eancelling with IA. and M. of North Carolina have all ready been set forth in the papers of the state and the cancellation, although criticized, has In no way been the cause of discontent in the university or on the squad.
 A new acquisition in the person of Auerbach. an old Pennsylyania State man. has appeared on the gridiron at Lexington and his presence has in some degree strengthened the team. He is heavy man. weighing about ls0 pounds, and is fast Anybody familiar with football in the North Atlantic di- vision knows what kind of men and teams Pennsylvania State turns out Blackburn is back again in the line although he was injured in the V. P I. game. He has been regaining his former strength and speed, and by the Carolina game he ought to be ex- peeted to develop into his old form as line smasher and a line saver. Borah, who has been laid up for some time with bad ankle, has again appeared for practice and his return will natur- ally strengthen the line. The possibil- sty of Borah being abis to appear in the Carolina game is now an assumed fact.
 Kinnear. who played a splendid game against " P. l.. has again returned fo practice and the possibility of his playing against Carolina becomes near CT reality every day. He has all ways been regarded as an indispen- sible man and his return will be held

as indicative of the fact that the line will assume it's former offeasiveness.
 As to whether he is himself again is stil a matter of speculation.
 Burke has improved since the Y. r.
 L game and although he has not vet appeared for practice there is every
 reason to believe that he will again
 be seen a his old positoin at end Up
 to the V. P. l.. game and during the
 game Burke showed tremendous strength in his position and his ability as a hurdler made him speedy. With the loss of Burke from the line the
 team will suffer much as he Is re garded as a strong bidder for the ali- South Atlantic.
 The daily practice will continue such as line formation. tackling and dummy and signal practice. The practice on Saturday was somewhat changed over the preceding days. About the same number of men reported for practice although number of varsity men were absent. Burke. Kinnear, Black burn, Metallic did not participate for various reasons. Coach Pollard divided the SqudQ iulO two lSdIlS anu udO aDul-t one half hour of scrimmage, the ob- iect being to determine what men can he considered available for the two coming combats with Carolina and Alabama. The men passed tn rough the regular plays, using general signals. OiQuinn played quarter on one squad with Brown on the other.
 On Monday and Tuesday practice will continue with the return of a few of the old men who will greatly increase the chances of the team against it's rivals, Carolina and Alabama The line Up will be greatly changed because of necessity. With the absence of men the problem of filling their places will be a perpleXing one. With the perma- nent absence of one or two of the best men some change will be absolutely necessary. Nevertheless by the end of the week the team will be greatly and the outlook for vic tory is growing better every day.

COME TO CONFER
 ABOUT YIADUCTS

The executives of the railroads inter- ested in constructing a viaduct on First avenue will begin to arrive in BirminR- ham tomorrow morning and will hold their viaduct conference the following day at 10 o'clock in the library of Tiilman Bradley & Morrow
 The meeting here Is for the purpose of considering the proposal of the city for the construction of a viaduct on First avenue, which was made to the railroads several weeks ago
 While no inl1ling of the probable result of the meeting is obtainable, the general impression is that polite answer will be given the proposal, but that it will be turned down by the executives. It Is thought probable that following this a counter proposal will be made the city by those railroads who feel responsibili- ty in the grade crossing danger on First avenue.
 The railroads representatives will in- dclue the vice presidents and chief enRi- neers of seven roads entering BIrminr ham whose trains operate across First avenue, along with representatives of the sloss-sheffield Steel and Iron company. They will draft another plan which will be given to the local committee of rail- road men who will in turn present the finding to the City Council
 The railroad representatives feel the urgency of relieving the existing condi- tions on First avenue, and it is considered very probable that some plan which can be met by the council will be offered. The railroad officers, however, will exact definite action in regard to the closinr ot streets along the route proposed in the viaduct territory as being dangerous
