Girls" the Clyde Fitch comedy which was presented at the Shubert theatre last night has enjoyed great popularity and comes to Birmingham with the stamp of approval given by metropolitan theatre goers The play is undeniably clever and is written in that sparkling way which was distinctive of MT. Fitch when fol- lowing his hobby, which was the analysis of the feminine mind. MT.

 The story of the play concerns the ad- ventures of three bachelor girls. who have banded together to make their own living and forever abhor men. Pamela Morton, the ringleader of this nefarious combine, is very determined young woman and is decidedly in earnest, but her two companions are not quite so in- vcterate. The three acts show the rapid equalization of the three bachelor maids,

LANSING, Mich, July 11.--(Spe.
cial. The state railroad commission
this morning issued an order requir-
ing that all railroads In the state car
ny excess baggage at the same rates
This order applies particularly to
the roads in the northern portion OF
the state who have been charging OK
cessive rates for handling baggage
and have refused to check beyont
junction points with other roads.
Upon an investigation the railroad
commission discovered that the rates
were too high and ordered that the
Three cent" roads in the northern
portion of the state carry baggage III
the same rate as the Two cent" roads
in the lower peninsular. From l to
100 miles the future rate will be S
cents on 100 pounds Of excess baggage
and from 391 miles to 400 miles the
rate will be $1.30 per 100 pounds. No
charge for excess baggage shall be
less than S25. The companies must
also check baggage to the destination
called for by the tickets.
