THREE NEW STREET
 CARS REACH CITY

Three of the new street cars recent 1y ordered by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company for service here arrived yesterday. The cars were switched to the company tracks along side the power house and will probably be unloaded today.
 The cars are part of an order given in the north by President Ford. It is de- signed to place the cars in service just a. soon as possible.
 Tn addition to the cars ordered from other plants, the company has now in course of construction three cars which are being made at the local plants. With the greater equipment 1t is be- lieved that relief petitioned for on sew eral lines will be given. The cars which arrived yesterday were. the regulation kind, with few modern features not seen on the local equipment. They are designed somewhat on the order of the cars used on the Idlewild line and are equipped with the safety doors.

The Council Committees Make Slight Changes and It Will
 Undoubtedly Pass
MAYOR SAID TO FAVOR
 TT IN PRESENT FORM
Time Remains 90 Years; Passenger Line Must Re Completed in Two Years; Freight Line Is Entirely
 Separate

The troubles of the Tidewater Develop hy settled. At the meeting of the full Tidewater committee last night, consist ing of the judiciary, street and railway committees, the franchise was adopted, with a few minor changes, and Mayor Culpepper Exum was not only present at the meeting, but aldermen state that his attitude is favorable, and he will un- doubtedly sign the ordinance.
 There was no change made in the length of the franchise, the term remain ing at 99 years. over the protest of AL dcrmen Stern, Huddleston and Perdue.
 provision was added requiring the company to complete the entire passenger line from the eastern to the western lim- it's of the city in two years, and In case it is not completed not only the fran chise, but the s3O,OoO to be paid for it, and the s25,0 600 bond, will be forfeited
 The freight line Is to be finished in three years, and streets unused for freight purposes at that time will re- vert to the city.
 The only other change of any impor-' tance was the separation of the freight and passenger lines from East Lake to Ensley. The passenger line cannot be used for freight at any point in Wood lawn, Avondale, the business section, Graymont, and the important streets of Ensley. An entirely separate freight line is provided passing through North Bir- mingham. The usual conditions allowing the city to fix licenses and taxation were affixed.
 The franchise will be presented to the council tomorrow night and will un- doubtedly be adopted. It is believed that, in it's present shape, the Mayor is satisfied

Feared Miss Lillian May Park CT of Centreville May Have
 Concussion of Brain
FRANK WILSON DRIVING
 FATHERS GAR AT TIME
Miss Parker Was Hurried to St. Vim cents and, Being Unconscious, It Was Several Hours Before
 Identity Was Known

Miss Lillian May Parker was perhaps fatally hurt yesterday evening about 5:30 o'clock at Eleventh avenue and Nineteenth street when she was struck by the automobile of Dr. Cunningham Wilson, driven by his son, Frank Will son, who was in company with some friends. It is feared that Miss Parker suffered a cuscussion of the brain.
 According to the account of MT. Will son the young lady was hurriedly walk ing down Nineteenth street and he was going along Eleventh avenue towards Five Points at the rate of about 15 miles an hour. Darkness had Set in at the time of the accident and to this fact he attributes the accident
 Dr. Wilson said that the young lady did not see the machine until she had run almost into it. She halted momen- tarily and the front of the car passed her, but the top of the machine, which was folded over behind, struck her in the forehead and knocked her to the pave ment.
 The machine was stopped as quick ly as possible with the emergency brake and the occupants of the car sprang to the assistance of Miss Parker With the assistance of several people who came up she was removed to a residence near by on the corner. where medical aid was summoned for her.
 Under the direction of Dr. Cunningham Wilson the injured girl was removed to St. Vincents hospital where she remain ed for several hours before her identity could be learned.
 Later it was found that she lived at 121S Eleventh avenue, south, with her sis ter Mrs. Rosa A Parker, and that she was the daughter of w. M. Parker, form erly of Birmingham, but at present of Centreville. From St. Vincents hospital she was later removed to the Davis in firmary by pr. Davis, who is a close friend of the Parker family
 Lee Calame, who drives delivery wagon for Ferd Marx, was an eye wit ness to the accident, and his statement bears out the report of the affair as given by MT. Wilson.
