THE RAILWAY HALL OF FAME
MATTHEW HERMANN BONE
BY CLYDE W. ENNIS

It has been for many and yet many
years a favorite thing for fond par
ents, in anticipation of that glorious
day when their son would be a presi-
dent to christen-or better-name the
said son in honor of some of the lead
White House. This has been going on
and will continue And mayhap when
the comet rolls around again some
bright youngster will fool the parents
being handicapped with some glorious
name.
But it is seldom we see young men
named in honor of jugglers or mys-
mann the Great was at his palmiest
period he was well liked. So we find
In Birmingham a man who is named

Bone believed he would be a railroa j

ANOTHER FURNACE
Is GOING In SOON

The Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron
company's No. l city furnace recently
overhauled and put in prime condi-
ton, is now being dried out and Will
be making iron within the next few
days. This will make five out of d
total of seven of the Sloss Sheffield
company's stacks in blast-two at
North Birmingham, two d Sheffield and
one here at the city plant. President j.
c. Maben said yesterday:
lowing TO the extreme weakness of
the iron market due chiefly to over
production we have been keeping the
number of our furnaces in operation
down to four The market Is still very
dull, but for economic reasons in the
matter of cost of production | am about
to add a fifth furnace. hoping that the
price of iron will soon advance.
There is a demand for iron but
buyers are not Offering to pay more
than Sill. Our lowest price Is S1l5O
on a No. 2 basis. If all furnace in
terests would hold firm at S11.5O-and
most of them are doing so-consumers
would know that the market had struck
bottom and their recent inquiries would
soon materalize into orders for good
tonnage. In order for ieenmakers to
obtain a fair profit with wagers as
they stand today the price of No. .
grade sh ould be $12."

M'OUEEN IS BACK

spent Time In Lake Manufn cturing
District and Comes Back Impressed
With Birmin CHAINS Importance

) J. W. Mcqueen, vice president of the
Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company.
reached home with his family yesterday
after a vacation of several weeks, spent
on the great lakes. and he comes home
with his mind full of the big things of
the lake manufacturing district
However" he said, cit has only i'm
pressed upon me more indelibly the great
possibilities of this district, where we
have all of the resources, and need only
the money and the brains to develop it,
Il visited Gary, and was deeply i'm
pressed with the wonderful growth of
that modern city, which in a few months
became a metropolis. with every advan-
tage, and over 5000 paid employees. l do
not think, however. that it will be SO
much better than our own Corey In
few years. -
Speaking of good things, l saw that
big farce in Chicago the other day, when
the New York Nationals defeated the
Cubs. 1879. when one team used four
pitchers and the other three, while scores
of hits were made. 1t was the strangcst
game I have ever witnessed, and over
a0. 600 fans were out there. screaming
themselves hoarse.'
While on the lakes Mr.. Mcqueen trav-
eled about 1900 miles on water and had
a pleasant visit on Lake Mackinac.

jPECIAL INTEREST IN
OHIO VALLEY SHOW

great deal of local interest was at
tached to the official opening yesterday
of the Ohio Valley Exposition in Cincin-
natl. The show Is for the purpose of
exploiting the resources of the Ohio Val
ley and the south.
The exposition will be open until Sep
TENDER "a, and during that time a great
many people from Birmingham and the
south will attend. A special day has
been set aside for "Dixie' and it Is ex-
pected that thousands of people from the
south will do honor to the day
In addition to the general interest, Biz
mingham is individually interested In the
exposition 1t is doubtful If ever before
has there been more comprehensive
exhibit of Alabama minerals at any ex-
position. The work has been under the
direction of Major Frank Y. Anderson
of Birmingham, and others. The officers
collected an exhibit that is very broad
values of this state in mineral lines.
The railroads have assisted materially in
this work By a special arrangement
the exhibits have been transported free
and the fine showing of this state does
not cost the state or individuals one
cent Major Anderson and many other
Birmingham people were in Cincinnati
yesterday when the opening occurred.
Special rates have been offered to Gin
cinnat, which are now effective.

CHANGE IN SCHEDULE
IS MADE BY A., B. & A.

For the purpose of allowing residents
of Talladega and other cities along the
line to spend more hours in Birmingham
for shopping, the Atlanta. Birmingham
and Atlantic railroad announces impor-
tant changes in the arrival and departure
of trains at Birmingham.
The train formerly reaching here at |
O'Clock p. m. will be operated into Biz
mingham at Has a. m. Departing the
train will leave at 4:45 p. M, instead of
$3.50, as heretofore
The change is effective now, and the
business men Of Birmingham, as we'll as
the shoppers along the line, are very
much gratif1ed over the new arrangement
All the railroads entering Birmingham
have been trying to arrange schedules
SO as to secure for Birmingham as many
shoppers as possible. Along with this i'm
proved schedule IL Is expected that the
Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic COM
pany will shortly announce a new train
to Birmingham 1t is generally believed
that the additional train will leave here
early in the morning and return from
Talladega late In the afternoon. This
would prove decidedly convenient to
many persons in Birmingham, and will
greatly facilitate the handling of mails
to points between this city and ITALIA
dega.

EXPECT TO OPEN NEW
lockwood LINE SOON

Street car service from the end of the
South Highlands car line to Shades
Valley over the new Edgewood line will
be inaugurated with appropriate ceremo-
niles within the next thirty days. accord
ing to an announcement made yesterday
by G.Troupe Brazelton. of that company.
Mr. Brazelton added that the Birmins-
ham Railway Light and Power Company
is completing the placing of poles and
the overhead work which will require a
few more days. After this work is fin
ished the rails will be spiked into place
and the first car operated.
The construction of this car line into
what has in the past been inaccessible
territory has created the most favorable
attention In Birmingham 1t will open
up a new and modern suburb to Bir-
mingham for residences and bids fair to
be decidedly popular. The company
which owns the land started the con-
struction of the line and have now
brought II almost to completion.
1t is considered probable that the line
will be operated by the Birmingham
Railway Light and Power Company.

LONG CONFERENCE
HELD WITH Street
Postoffice Authorities On the
Knight Yancey Case
STILL WORK IN SECRET
District Attorney Says He Is Not At
Liberty To Say Whether
Government Intends To
Take Action
STILL WORK IN SECRET

After being in conference in Gun
tersville with Postoffice Inspectors Dits
and Keys in regard to the KnightYan-
cey cotton failure case, Oliver ID. Street,
United States district attorney came to
Birmingham yesterday and was at the
federal building practically all day.
He stated that the postoffice inspectors
went to his home as agreed upon ana
went over the case or that part of 1t that
had been looked into by the officials of
the postoffice department. He stated that
the inspectors wished 70 secure some adj
vice in regard to what further methods to
pursue and that he had gwen them that
advice. Mr.. Street adced that at this
time he was not in a position to state
whether the government would proceed
against the members of Knight, Yancey
& Co. or not.
He said, however, that the postoffice
probe was being sent to the bottom of the
failure.
Il am not at liberty to say whether
the government intends to take any ac-
ton In regard to the Knight, Yancey Il
Co. case" said Mr.. Street. However,
tors and | held a conference is true. The
inspectors were in Guntersvlle and we
went over several matters in connection
18th the case. They wished to be thor
oughly advised in regard to certain
points and l furnished them with that
advice. The government is working on
the case and some developments may
occur | cannot state officially what steps
will be taken by the government but II
seems to be that some action should
be taken. There is no reason to doubt
but that some persons have perpetrated
a huge fraud. and 1t seems to be positive
" proved that forgeries have been COM
nitted From what l can learn the peo-
pie of other countries will hold any non
action very much against this country.
Personally l think if no action is taken
1t would reflect upon our laws very seri-
ously It may be that we have no law
to reach the case but think we have.
1t is stated that the postoffice investi-
cations are being carried on in the
knight, Yancey & - case very much
more carefully than in any other case that
has ever before been investigated in the
south.

STATE COMMITTEE WILL
SETTLE CONTESTS TODAY

Unless some cog slips. the action of the
state executive committee, which will
meet in Montgomery today, is already cut
and dried The only fight which might
possibly occur will be over the adoption
of a resolution expressing it to be demo-
cratic principle that every nominee of the
party must subscribe and give unfaltering
allegiance to the party platform adopted
at Montgomery at the state convention
In May.
Such d resolution has been prepared and
will be introduced by w. M. Lackey. and
1t is understood that a majority of the
committee favor its passage. Whether
Chairman Tyler Goodwin will oppose it
is problematical. Mr.. Goodwin recently
gave out an interview in which he de-
clared that the matter was question
entirely for the nominees own con-
science. The object of the resolution is
to go further, and declare that it is a
mans duty to stand squarely by the
platform, and by the enunciation of party
principle by the party leader, Emmett
O'Neal, at Blount Springs

DO NOT EXPECT
FURTHER ARRESTS
HARLAN SAYS THEY HAVE NO EVIL +
DENCE NOW TO JUSTIFY
FURTHER ARRESTS IN THE
WRECK CASES

In an interview last night Col J. B.
Harlan, chief special agent for the
Louisville and Nashville, practically an
nounced that no arrests would be made
in the wreck cases on the Louisville
and Nashville in addition to that of
William Nabors, white fireman. 1t
has been the general impression here
for several days that two or more per-
sons were concerned in the wrecks on
the South and North Alabama. When
Nabors was arrested the company Of
hcials stated that other strings were
out which would probably lead to adj
ditional arrests. However Colonel Har-
Ian and T. e. Brooks, after being abb
sent from Birmingham throughout SUN
day, returned yesterday. Colonel Har-
Ian last night said additional arrests
in the case were improbable.
There will be no further arrests in
the wreck cases that we know of now.
said Colonel Harlan. I'VE believe that
in the arrest of William Majors we
have removed the root of the evil on
our lines and from subsequent investi-
cations we are inclined TO believe his
arrest is the only one that Will be
far as we can observe at this time
any further arrests are as far re-
moved as was the arrest of Majors
when we first started the investiga-
tions."
The determination of the Louisville
and Nashville officers that only one
man caused the wreck of four trains
at so many different places is some
what surprising. 1t has been the gem
eral belief that other persons were con-
cerned.
superintendent r. f.. Brooks when
questioned yesterday in reference to the
wrecks stated that no new Develop
ments had taken place so far as he
knew. Mr.. Brooks stated that some
clues were being followed and the Of
hclals were still engaged in investi-
eating the six wrecks on the system.
When questioned pointedly in regard TO
the additional arrests Mr.. Brooks stated
that he had nothing to say.
