MUCH LOCAL INTEREST
IN WAGE CONFERENCE

The conference in Washington between
commissioners Lane and NELL. as arbi'
trato of the railroad wage scale, and
the executive officers of various ran
roads. is watched here with intense inter
est. Several local officers of various
companies have been called upon for
telegraphic information relative to con-
ditions and one or two executive repre-
sentatives have been in personal attend
ance upon the different wage meetings
held In the past two months.
The fact that President w. w. Fin
lev of the Southern, Vice President and
General Manager Charles H. Xix of the
seaboard and w. L. Park Of the Illinois
Central are members of the conference
board excites further interest in Birming-
ham.
For the past several months railroad
executive officers have been battling with
requests for increases in wages. Ensi-
neers, conductors and others have re-
ouested increases and the problem has
been fraught with serious features sell
Dom encountered In matters Of this kind.

ton of the Birmingham bench and bar,

the late Judge A. A. Coleman were sub
mitted by a committee appointed for the
purpose and adopted unanimously by a
rising vote.

guished jurist were delivered by Chan

following is a copy
Il. Resolved, That the members of the
bench and bar of Jefferson county feel
keenly the loss which this court and COM
munity have sustained in the demise of
Judge Coleman, late a. Judge of this
court.
"2. Judge Coleman died in the eighty
fifth year of This ago. He served the peo-
pie of Alabama long and faithfully in mil
itary and public life. On the bench his
candor and modesty were no less distin-
guished than his learning, acuteness and
discrimination. His genius was versatile.
Every branch of the law received his at
tention. He visited the muses. and some
excellent productions of his pen survive
Few men serve longer upon the bench,
and rare is 1t the fortune of man to pre-
serve sight, hearing, acuteness of mind
clearness of perception and vividness OF
memory up to the age of IS years. These
blessings we're his when he laid aside the
judicial robe to assume the mantle OF
Immortality In private life he was loved
for his amiable manners and general
kindness of disposition. He died to the
deep regret OF all who knew him, leaving
with us the memory of a character up
right, humane and enlightened, a memory
that will long be fresh in our hearts.
Resolved, In behalf of the bench and
bar of this county and the officers of this
court, That we respectfully move the
court that the foregoing resolutions be
entered on the minutes or records of this
court; that a copy of the resolutions be
sent to his bereaved widow and delivered
to the press Respectful submitted,

ABOUT 300 LOTS SOLD
AT COREY THIS WEEK

Approximately 800 lots have been sold
at Corey this week, probably the great
est record ever established In southern
real estate sales.
In fully 40 per cent of the instances the
purchasers expect to build houses or
stores, so that Corey promises to be the
scene of active building for the next six
months or a year. Already the demand
for homes and stores is becoming press
ing and arrangements are being made to
meet this demand
1t was the announced intention of the
company to withdraw the property from
the market when a certain percentage
was sold, and this may be done at any
time in the near future. When there are
no more company lots for sale 1t is an
tcipated that there will still be lively
trading in Corey property.
The lots sold averaged over $1,000 each,
and the total sales will run between
$3.50, 900 and 100000, probably more. The
applications came from all parts of the
United States, and 1t is estimated that
$4,000 In outside money was invested in
the Birmingham district as a result of
this sale.

tural department of the Alabama State

would both be in with big exhibitions for

making marketable a large area of un-
developed property In that neighborhood
would begin within ten days. The work
will include the construction of a boule-
ward 100 feet wide, which will be a model

Eastern Stars Meeting
In Admission

Admission, June 30.-fSpecial )-When the
late L. H. Kaplan, a wealthy Annist on
Hebrew. died. he left the larger part
among the benefciaries a charity hos
pital at Admission; 1.-The hospital for Jew
ish consumptives" at Denver, and the
Jewish hospital for consumptives' at Je-
rrsalem. There is more than one Jew
ish hospital in each of these places, puf
neither of them is incorporated under the
name designated in the will. and IN this
connection the case has been taken into
the courts, which has developed the TACT
that the Admission hospital, which does
not exist at the present time is without
a legal representative in any proceedings
that may come up for adjudication. The
proposed Admission hospital Is made the
chief beneficiary in the will, and the
trustees are named as the executors of
the will, thus preventing them from rep
resenting the Admission institution before
the court. Hence, fearing that the hos
ptal may suffer. it is proposed to petit
ton Chancellor Whiteside to appoint some
one to represent the hospital in the pro-
ceedings which will begin at an early
date. This will likely be done, and it
is said that the attorney general will
be appointed in this connection. Lawyers
are at work preparing briefs In the in
terest of all of the benefciaries of tho
will of the rich Hebrew, and the friends
of the hospital propose that 1t shall not
be allowed to suffer.
