CASE HINGES ON
CLASS OF DIRT
Interesting Suit Will Be Tried
In Birmingham Today
ILLINOIS CENTRAL SUED
Ben Tally Seeks to Recover 100000 for
Digging Rock Cuts in Rail-
road Construction In
Alabama
ILLINOIS CENTRAL SUED

In the Ben Tally case against the
Illinois Central railroad for 100000,
which will be called today in the fed
eral court, the classification of rock
may be the pivotal point upon which
the final result will turn.
The case is suit by Ben Tally
against the company, for constructing
the Alabama Western illinois Cen
trail railroad from Haleyville to the
Tennessee state line. The road was
constructed and the frequent cuts in
the track caused the appropriation to be
increased. In the classification of rock
and loose dirt the former was classi-
fled as undulated clay and placed in
the class of dirt. The price for cutting
rock was greater than that of dirt and
the contest over payment resulted.
The plaintiff alleges that the extra
work involved in getting the rock out
of the way as compared to the COM
paratively small cost of removing dirt
Is to be paid by the railroad company.
When the case was up for settlement
the company declined, 1T is stated, to
pay the cost of removing the rock.
The Tally Bates Construction COM
pany sued and recovered $250,000 at
Tuscumbia.
The case twas carried to the supreme
court and that tribunal held that the
Judgment of the lower court was VOID
in that the corporation as plaintiff had
never filed a charter to do business In
this state as required by law and Is
therefore not recognized by Alabama
courts. The Judgment was voided on
this theory.
Mr. Tally then sued the company in
the federal court claiming that he con-
structed and delivered to the defendant
a certain piece of property which has
never been paid for and that his own
money was used up to create an ar
ticle which was received and is now
being used by the defendants.
The case in regard to the classified
ton of rock has called for great
amount of study of this topic by the
attorneys in the case.
The plaintiff is represented by
Caruthe rs Ewing, Gen. Luke e. Wright
of Memphis and Judge Edward B. AL
mon of Tuscumbia. These attorneys
with Mr.. Tally arrived yesterday. They
held conference yesterday and last
night at their hotel at which time the
files of the former case and the hearing
was carefully gone over
The attorneys for the railroad are
Walker Percy and Borden Burr. Mr.
Percy returned yesterday from Europe

CLOSED BANK MAY
RESUME BUSINESS

After an extended conference with Of
hcers of the Guarantee Bank & Trust
company for two days, E. E. Galbreath,
vice president of the Second National
bank of Cincinnati, returned to his home
last night.
1t was given out last night by George
NJ. Webb, president of the bank, that the
conference with the Cincinnati banker
was In connection with placing the bank
again in business, but that sno definite
plan had been formulated.
1--WE must await the report of Trustee
e. D. Smith, said Mr.. Webb. before
any action can be taken. That report
will be made within the next few days,
and after that we may announce what
will be our purpose. Mr.. Galbreath will
pass upon the report OF the trustee, and
this will have a great deal to do with our
final plans
HE seemed to be very much inter-
ested in the bank, and hope we may hit
upon plan that will place us in BUSH
ness again. AS l stated before, every
banking rule has been rigidly observed
by us, and there was no reason for our
difficulties except temporary burden

In the opinion of Caruthers Ewing of

lead the democrats to victory in Tel

He says that Senator Taylor is unques-

could save the state from republicanism
and therefore he was chosen to lead tine
bewildered hosts of democracy.

ical situation in his state. However, he
said
sIn the past two weeks people have
been changing right and left However,
at this time the situation looks clarified
to a remarkable extent. Senator Taylor
will surely be elected and will save the
state from the republicans. The entire
situation has been brought about by the

EWING TALKS
ON TENNESSEE POLITICS

was precipitated into terrible condi-
ton of turmoil There was only one
thing for the democrats to do and that
was to nominate Senator Taylor for gov
ernor.
IF he is successful, and we believe he
will be. then there is nothing the state
has to offer but what will be given him
without opposition. He may two years
hence return to the United States Sen
ate. I do not think that at that time
there will be found in the state any
man with sufficient nerve to run against
him.
He probably analysed the future pref
ty keenly and arrived at his conclusion
to accept the nomination for governor
after serious and lengthy thought
Gen Luke E. Wright. whose political
sagacity is national stated that he would
ask to be excused from commenting upon
the situation that faced his home state.
The two eminent lawyers are stopping
at the Hotel Hillman and will probably
receive much attention while here from
local lawyers.
They were associated with Cabaniss &
Bowie in the Clabaugh case against the
Southern Wholesale Grocers association,
which was successfully contested by the
defendants.

VISITORS WILL SEE
THE STATE FAIR

Gen. Luke E. Wright, former Secre-
tary of War, ambassador to Japan. and
one of the most widely known private
citizens in America, said last night that
he was interested in the Alabama State
Fair and that he would make every eff
fort to pay 1t visit during his stay in
Birmingham.
He said that state fairs serve a purpose
in their respective states unlike any other
institution and he never neglected an OPP
portunity to help in his personal way to
encourage them.
II have heard great deal of the local
associations Efforts said General Wright,
land if | can find time during my stay
here, away from our legal affairs, will
visit the fair. l am interested in them
and have long been so. l think all states
should centralize on a fair typical in
its treatment of the resources of the
state. In that way the broadcast feeling
is created between the people of one part
of a state and the other
The statements of General Wright were
heartily concurred in by Caruthers Ew-
ing, one of the most able lawyers in
Tennessee, who said he would be visitor
to the fair this week in the event he
could secure time in the afternoon for
the visit

FINE AUTOMOBILE
AT STATE FAIR

One of the new combination automobile
fire wagons recently purchased by the
city is being used at the fair grounds
during the fair. With the wagon Is
crew of five men in charge of Captain
Brown of the fire department. The wagon
will be ready to answer calls at the fair
grounds during the fair.
The station is located in two booths in
the center of the fair grounds, and is in
a position to answer calls readily from
either direction. AS yet, the department
has had no opportunity to handle Sc
rious fire, and it is hoped that there will
be none.
The wagon with its shining brass and
polished woodwork has attracted as much
attention as any exhibit at the fair The
men have been busily occupied during
the past few days in answering questions
in regard to the wagon and its equip
ment.
srhe machine has maximum speed OF
65 miles an hour and carries a 40-gallon
tank of chemicals with 25O0 feet of hose

Ola Cannon. a young man residing at
Fifty ninth street and First avenue,

seriously shot yesterday afternoon at
Seventeenth street and First avenue by
one of three unknown negroes. The

breaking several bones He was hur-
ried to the Hillman hospital in Gaud-
ms ambulance and his wounds dressed
They were found not to be serious and
he was removed to his home in Wood

M. F. Moreland and he says that unless
unexpected complications set In Cannon
will recover.
Detectives Moore and Taylor went to
the scene of the shooting but the ne

and First avenue and the three negroes
were coming down the street. About
midway the block shot was fred and
at the corner two more were fred, one
bullet taking effect in Cannon's foot.
Ike Hopkins, a negro man, was ar
