CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-After winning
fight for lower freight rates by two
years constant. effort, western ship

a decision favoring the shippers in the
west. The matter was then taken
into the courts by the railroads and
last week the supreme court gave its
decision, also favoring the shippers.
Now the railroads have filed sched-
uled with the commission setting the
rates back at the old point.
The rates affected were included in

MABEN OBJECTS
 ID SUBWAY PLAN Would Be Dangerous and Ruin
 Property COMPANY CANNOT AGREE Says Sloss Company Will Never Con- sent to Aid in Building Seven Block Subway for Relief of
 First Avenue
COMPANY CANNOT AGREE
BY CLYDE w. ENNIS

That he does not believe subways are feasible for Birmingham and that his company will not participate in the con- struction of subway on First avenue was the statement of Col. J. c. Maben, president of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company, yesterday when he was requested for views upon the subway plan as outlined by City Engineer Maury Me olson
 If the city of Birmingham should start subway 1t would mean murder every night" said Colonel Maben. Why, in New York the Park avenue subway was the scene of more murders and hold-ups in one year than of 100 other blocks of the city. Finally, the authorities ordered that 1t be opened so people could see their way clear. It matters not how many policemen you might station at the ends. A person could be killed in the middle and the murderers walk out the end and the officers be none the wiser.
 "The people would not use it at night l know that I would not, and I do not think many others would. The fogs of winter are another thing. l have seen fogs so thick here that you could scarcely see a street car two feet ahead. That has happened here time and time again. If you build a subway, covered, the fogs would settle under there so heavy that it would be impossible to pass safely. and hundreds of residents of woodlawn and East Lake and that territory could not reach Birmingham.
 ''In addition to this the water problem is serious. I have seen the tracks of the railroads on Twentieth street flooded with water so deep that drays were afraid to ford through. If we should agree to a subway the water drained into the place would be so deep that it would be impos- sibe to use it. The street cars would be washed out and the residents would be unable to reach Birmingham
 There are many objections to the sub- way. The gases from an underground place would be so powerful in seven block subway that I believe person would strangle in passing through. It is unhealthy, will spread disease and cannot be seriously considered. If the subway
