PRESENT GRAND JURY
 HAS HAD NO LEAKS

Sheriff IIigdon is considerably im- pressed with the fact that there has not heon a single leak as to the work done by the present grand jury, either at the term now in session or the previous one this fall The sheriff states that this Is the first grand jury that has not let out some inkling of its proceedings and given those indicted an opportunity to make their escape.
 Heretofore 1t has been the custom for neople to come into the sheriffs office and ask to have a bond approved as the grand jury had an indictment against tbeyn said the sheriff. .'rhe deputy would look on the record and find no in dictment and would so tell the party. He would then be informed that the grand jury had just returned one against him and he wished to make bond. Not a single instance of that kind has hap nened with the present jury and I was
 greatly pleased to see 1t.
 "Often when went to arrest man on an indictment returned against hiT by the grand jury would find that he had
 gotten wind of it and had left the state. There was nothing left to do. Now it is entirely different.
 | "I find it impossible to get any inside ,nformation myself. Sometimes 1t is nocassarv to keep an eye on party in dicted to keep him from running away. And 1t impossible to get the necessary irfornaoticn at present
 | "r,,t@ is undoubtedly the best way to l-do ana it has greatly frightened ths work
 of the sheriff. The present grand Jury is the only one that has had absolutely no leaks"

CHURCH WORKERS MEET

Montgomery, November 16.-(Special.)- J. While admitting the need of union depot at Tuscaloosa. where patrons of the three railroads entering that city could best be accommodated, the railroad com mission of Alabama today issued a lengthy opinion in which it regrets that fl cannot feel justified in making an order'' providing for such station, at the same time accepting plans offered by the railroads for the improvement of depot facilities at that place. The com mission explains that the location of the common carriers is such as to make the suggested improvement too heavy an expense, in so far as the centering of the lines at one depot is concerned.
 After carefully considering plans and specifications submitted by the railroads the Alabama Great Southern and the Mo- hile and Ohio-the commission includes in it's order a provision that steps be taken within 30 days to erect new depots in the places of those now standing, in which event, the commissioners declare, the facilities will be reasonably adequate for the present"
 Decision of the commissioners was reached this afternoon after a lengthy discussion of the matter which began last night and which was participated in by members of the Board of Trade of Tuscaloosa and by representatives of the two common carriers vitally concerned.
