TILLIS TALKS OF
 MEXICAN AFFAIRS
SAYS REVOLUTION IS BY NO MEANS QUELLED AND THAT PRESIDENT DIAz IS TREMBLING FOR THE FUTURE

Richard Tillis, an American who makes his home in Mexico City, passed through Birmingham last night en route to New York.
 At the Hillman last evening" he spoke Interestingly of conditions in Mexico That the revolution is in no wise queled, and that President Diaz is trembling in his hoots, is the gist of his remarks
 '1n the city, to all outward appear ances," stated MT. Tillis, things are very quiet. But the President is considerably about his mansion closed for ear that gen. about his manion closed for fear that gen. eral travel might bring near him an in surercto on assassination bent
 Tt is understood in Mexico that the President has opened negotiations with General Bernardo Reyes looking to the return of the latter to his position as commander of the army. Some years ago President Diaz, because Reyes ran for the vice presidency without the former S sanction. sent him into exile. He was known as the idol of the army. In case he returns he will assume charge of the government troops, and out of the chaos might bring light-and peace"
 MT. Tillis stated that American interests as far as he knew were undisturbed.

SAYS ROOSEVELT
 PLANS NEW SCHEME
His Idea Is To Revolutionize Politics and Unionize All Religious
 Creeds

That Colonel Roosevelt is far from "dead" in a political sense was news brought to Birmingham yesterday by F. C Dismuke, an Alabamian who lives in New York. ...........z ..f.,4..,,...-4 ,s,..
 "Colonel Roosevelt" stated MT. Dis nuke, according to rumors in New York, is planning to revolutionize politics and unionize all religious creeds. Ac- cording to the story, he will join hands with William Jennings Bryan. several noted evangelists, and advocates of the new nationalism in the overthrow of the two great parties in power today.
 The story is that after MT. Roosevelt's s western trip he conferred with pr. Charles R. scoville of Chicago, Billy Sun day, J. Wilbur Chapman, and Gypsy Smith, making overtures to them that they gave affirmative answers and that A new political creed and a new gospel that will embrace all Christian doctrines Is In contemplation. It is to be reign of absolute equality as concerns the rights of men.
 "Other than this report which has gained wide circulation, little is heard of the mighty hunter in New York. Since the election of Dix, he has retired osten- sibiy, but that he will come forth again with a scheme of such originality as to cause his reverse to be forgotten, is deemed very probable"

 J. l.. Burrus, who was in charge of the car, had a narrow escape from serf- ous injury on account of the skyrockets The fire occurred in the shed at the Ter minal station and for few minutes all was chaos as the big crackers began to explode with the frequent hiss of sky rocket.
 The car was quickly switched from the train and the remainder of the cars escaped damage. The car in question was badly damaged by the fire and will have to be renewed.
 The residence of J. A. Yates, 1O3l Eleventh avenue, south, caught fire from spark on the roof yesterday afternoon a; s:54 o'clock and was damaged to the extent of about 5000 before the flames were extinguished by the fire depart ment The value of the building was s4500 and the loss is covered by insurance.
 Practically all the roof was burned off and the contents of the residence dam aged considerably by water.

TAKE DISPOSITIONS
 IN GALLOWAY CASE

The taking of dispositions in the case of the St. Louis Trust company for the Mudd heirs against the Galloway Coal company, involving some of the best coal lands in the Blocton field, now held under lease by the Galloway Coal company, started yesterday in the offices of Attor- neys Cabaniss and Bowie, representing the Mudd heirs.
 The hearing will continue today, when an adjournment will be taken until after the holidays.
 The dispositions are being answered by experts of this district who have been sent over the properties to gather data and information as to the lands
 Cyrus Garnsey, Jr., general manager of the company; Priestly Toulmin, Assistant General Manager Rover of the Galloway company, and J. H. Mudd of St. Louis are among those who are attending the hearing.
 The suit was filed in the United States court several weeks ago. It was directed against the Galloway Coal company and Jones G. Moore The connection of the latter defendant came in by reason of his having secured the leases. which were afterward given over to the Galloway Coal company.
 Cyrus Garnsey, general manager of the company. when seen yesterday, declined to discuss the suit on the grounds that it would not be proper to talk of such matters while the case is pending. He said, however, that he saw no reason why such work as was under way should be held up pending a final disposition of the case. MT. Mudd also declined to talk of the case.
