For the purpose of attending as a witness the Standard oil case in Jackson, Tenn, ]. M. Culp, vice president of the Southern railway, passed through here yesterday. MT. Culp was summoned as witness in the case, but it Is not defi- nitely known along what lines his testi- mony will be desired.
 MT. Culp was very much interested at heinz in Birmingham again and said if possible he would come here soon and look over the district closely. He said the census figures and the subsequently, arranged jubilee had attracted the at tention of the entire country and Bir- mingham was receiving a great deal of publicity.

ALABAMA MAY GET TEN CONGRESSMEN
 BY NEW FIGURES Jefferson County Will Certain ly Get One If the Legis-
 lature Is Fair UNDERWOOD SAYS HOUSE MAY FIX 400 AS LIMIT Alabama Will Have Majority Fraction Above the 225,OOO Population Which II Is Expected Will Re
 Required

Alabama has a fine chance 10 get her representation in Congress raised to 10 members, according to Congressman Os- car w. Underwood, but even should Ala bama be allotted only nine members the reapportionment by the legislature would give Jefferson county a representative
 .'The general sentiment in Congress seems to be in favor of holding the number of representatives to 40O,s said Congressman Underwood. This would mean an increase of nine members, and Alabama has a good opportunity to se- cure one of them. If the total population of the United States does not go over 99,0o0,0O0, 1t will be almost a certainy.
 The census director, MT. Durand, will furnish Congress with a table, showing the apportionment by population, based on the number of representatives now in the House, and based on every num- her between 391 and about 420 Congress will then decide how many representa- tlves the new House shall have, and it will be simply mathematical proposi- ton to work out the apportionment in population for each representative.
 Based on 400 representatives and a popuidtiou oi Ju,UUV,Vuu, lue dppOTllOn1nenL would be 225,000 Alabamas population of 2,13S,093 Is divisible by this sum nine times, with a fraction of 113093 remain ing. According to precedent the states with majority fraction get the extra representatives, while those with a mi nority fraction lose out.
 It Is thus seen that on MT. Under woods figures Alabama would get a tenth representative by about 500 people, How ever, there are all kinds of possibilities. While the population is expected to range around 90,000,000. it may run over or fall under. No one knows just how many members Congress will determine upon. Should the old apportionment of 194, 1S2 be retained and the population range around 90,000,00 the number in the House would be increased by about 45, but MT. Underwood does not think the number will go over 400.
 Under any circumstances, Jefferson county will be congressional district, if she is treated fairly by the legisla- ture. With population of 226000, lief ferson Is entitled to a representative.

STREET RAILWAY SUPERINTEN- DENT SAYS NEW EQUIPMENT IS EXPECTED SOON WHEN IMPRovE- MENTS CAN BIC MADE

In letter written to A. Maben Hobson of the City Council railway committee yesterday George H. Harris, superinten- dent of the railway department of the company, says that the company is very short of cars now and has every avail able one in service He adds that an effort was made few days ago to bor- row some cars from the car company of Atlanta but the efforts were unavailing.
 It is promised in the letter that new cars will be here soon and that the car service will be better as soon as the new equipment reaches Birmingham. The let ter of MT. Harris was in answer to a petition handed Mir. Hobson by residents of Boyles. This suburb, through a large ly signed petition, requested relief from the council
 The letter of MT Harris follows:
 Birmingham, November II, 1910.
 MT Maben Hobson, Birmingham. Ala: Dear MT. Hobson- Regarding the peti- ton which you handed me from residents of Boyles and patrons of the Boyles line of this company, complaining of the car service on this line, beg to advise that there is no way that we could remedy this condition at the present time, due to the fact that the company Is operating every available car 1t has. We should have had lot more of new cars here before this date, but due to financial troubles of the car company from whom they were ordered, they have not yet arrived. We hope to receive these cars in the very near future, at which time we can re- lieve any overcrowded conditions.
 For your information would state that during last week I endeavored to rent d number of cars from the Georgia Rail way and Electric company of Atlanta to tide us over until our new cars arrived, but was unable to get any from them. T assure you that 1t is the desire of this company to give the very best of service on its lines and when we fail 1t is through no intention on our part. Yours very truly GEORGE H. HARRIS,
 Superintendent Railway Department"

May Offer The Money For
 City To Build Vidduct

Ii is probable that an entirely new rlan will be pursued by the railroads regarding the viaducts when the tenta- tive proposal now being drafted is given to the City Council. It was generally rumored yesterday, and accepted as true, that the companies would offer to pro- vide the city with sSoO,OoO with which to build one viaduct along First avenue across the tracks to Thirty-second street.
 The railroad conference held here a few days ago did not definitely agree upon any plan. However. it was sug- gested at the meeting that the city be given this sum to build a viaduct. No final action was taken on account of the absence of Charles H. Hix, vice pres ident and general manager of the Sea beard, and his representative, John P Tillman of the legal department. How ever, those representatives who remained at the meeting are said to have agreed

to submit to the Seaboard a plan of furnishing the funds and permitting the railroads to withdraw from any con struction work. This offer. if agreed to by the Seaboard officers. will probably be made the City Council at the meet ing to be held next week.
 In local circles the new departure was received with interest. It differs so from all past offers that It was serious ly questioned whether the council would consider the offer. of taking money In the event it was made them. However. none of the aldermen interested would talk of the viaduct matter yesterday.
 Two members of the council yesterday said the city was becoming very impa- tient for some action to be taken by the railroads and that something must be done right away to relieve the perl lous conditions now existing along First avenue. However, 1t is believed that everything will be satisfactorily worked out now within the next few weeks.

WRIT FOR MRS. sNEAD.

One of Sisters Accused of Murder APP
Peals to U. S. Circuit Court.
Trenton, n. j., April 21.-Judge Ian
ming has granted a writ Of habeas cor.
pus in the United States circuit court
for the summary determination of the
legality of the detention of Mrs. Mary
w. Snead, indicted with her two sis.
ters for the murder of Ocey w. Snead,
the East Orange bath victim.
Judge Lanning fixed next Tuesday as
the time for hearing argument.
The trial OF the three sisters has
been set down for May 16, and the
habeas corpus proceedings are the first
step to block 1t. In the petition filed
on behalf of Mrs. Snead it is alleged
that she was not In New Jersey on the
day OF the death Of Ocey Snead; that
she had not been In East Orange fol
at least ten days preceding it and that
these facts were known TO Prosecutor
Wilbur A. Mott.
Mrs. Snead says that she and hei
sisters are victims of spite; that Ocey
Snead was not murdered, but com
mitted suicide, as the notes left by heI
clearly showed, and that these notes
are not forgeries, but are in her OWL
handwriting, as declared by the ex
perts employed by the prosecutor.

FOR THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

In the matter of public comfort
and public health every man owes
some definite contribution to his
neighbor. Let us all seek to dis
charge this debt,
Happiness and health are very
closely allied, and so are disease and
dirt. Therefore to preserve your
happiness by preserving your health,
see that all rubbish is taken out of
the cellar of the house or store.
All the drains in the house should
be flushed every day to prevent
them from becoming choked. A
dirty drain pipe is a pestilential at
tachment to any house.
Roof cutters should also be kept
clean, so that water may flow freely
when rain falls. Likewise all pools
should be drained from the prem
ises. Stagnant water in the roof
cutters and yards breeds mosquitoes
at an amazingly rapid rate.
Lye water or kerosene oil form
good cleansers for drains. This
treatment may save a visit of some
dangerous disease. Twenty cents
worth of this kind of precaution
may save many dollars in doctors S
and nurses bills.
Disinfectants in the corners of the
rooms in the house will be found to
add sweetness to the atmosphere
and is in the interest of good house
keeping.
1t should not be necessary to in
form any housekeeper as to the value
of fresh air and sunshine for rooms
rugs and carpets.
And fnally-get screens on the
doors and windows as soon as pos
sible, and bar out the pestiferous
fly. If you do not wish TO go to the
expense of buying wire screens, buy
a few cents worth of mosquito
netting and tack that up. Not only
will this simple precaution give you
the opportunity to obtain rest and
sleep, but will keep away disease
that the fly brings in from nearby
places.

Causes INDIGESTION

Il got a box of Mi-o-na tablets for

first dose relieved me, and after L
took the fourth l have not felt any
more of it. think it is wonderful
medicine. Hiram Shultz, Watseka,
H., July 27, 1909.
If your stomach is out of order
or distressed, no matter from what
cause, Mi-o-na stomach tablets will
give instant relief, and if taken reg
ularly, will cure indigestion, acute
or chronic, or money back.
Every sufferer from stomach
trouble, gas, belching, sour stomach,
nervousness, dizziness, and bilious
ness, should get a fifty cent box of
Mi-o-na stomach tablets to-day and
start a treatment.
In three days time the stomach
and bowels will be thoroughly puri-
fed, and sour stomach and distress
will vanish.
Continue the treatment for two
weeks and the stomach will become
so strong that it will be able to digest
the heartiest meal without distress.
