INSPECTION CAR
 TO ARRIVE TODAY
Awards VIII He Made for Best Sections of Track the Alabama
 Great Southern

The special train on the Queen and Crescent route bearing the official track inspection party will arrive in Birming- ham this afternoon
 The party was engaged yesterday in in- specting the conditions of the track be- tween Chattanooga and Somerset. Ky, and will leave the former city this morn ing for Birmingham En route here every mile of section work will be carefully gone over. The train will be composed of two private cars, one baggage car, and the observation car for the inspection party.
 The latter car Is specially constructed and resembles steps, It Is built so 50 men may occupy the interior in rows that ex- tende almost to the top. In this way the entire track for several rail lengths can be seen by every one in the car The rear of the car Is inclosed with glass The special will leave here for Meridian short ly after arriving, where the southern terminus of the Alabama Great Southern js located. The party will start back here tomorrow morning and will make the in spection of the south division on the re- turn trip. The averages of the track are secured by instruments for testing which are attached to the rear inspection car and by mathematical calculations that are made after the trip has been con cluded.
 The purpose of the trip is to encourage the section men in maintaining the track in the best possible way. Prizes amount ing to total of s200 are distributed an- nualy for the best track on given sec tion.
 
 include T. c. Powell, vice president, as he advised that he was held in court at a North Carolina point and would be una ble even to join the inspection party in Birmingham. This is the first time he has missed an inspection in several years. The party will be in charge of Horace Baker. general manager, and c. Dougher- ty. chief engineer. Several officials from Birmingham left for Chattanooga yester- day to join the special.

BIBB GRAVES IS
 NOT CANDIDATE
MENT AS ADJUTANT GENERAL. GRAVES MAY BE NAMED TO sUC- CEED GENERAL CLARKE

Coming from a reliable source 1t Is learned that Adjt. Gen. Blob Graves Is no longer a candidate for reappointment to the position which he holds. member Of the National Guard who has been in Montgomery, returned yesterday with this news, and the further statement as off cial that Bbb Graves will be appointed briaSdier general to succeed Gen. Louis V. Clarke within the next few weeks
 It seems that the term of General Clarke has expired, and the plan is to have Governor Conner appoint Graves be- fore the governor goes out of office. This would place MT Graves on an equal foot ing with his rival, Ma Joseph Scully, whose appointment to the position of ad- jutant general Is now assured. Both of fees carry the title of b1igadier general, the adjutant being chief of the gov ernor's staff and the other commanding the National Guard.
 However, it Is pointed out that the gov ernor can only nominate. and the appoint ment would have to be confirmed by the senate which meets next month Then the fight will ensue. and if Graves is not confirmed it is quite probable that Gen c1al Clarke, the oldest member of the National Guard in the state, who has been a brigadier general since 1901, and was an ardent O'Neal man, will be appointed Dy the Q'Neal administration.

ANOTHER BODY IS
 FOUND UNDER CARS
ROY HENDRICKS OF ENsLEY VICTIM OF FRISCO WRECK NEAR HILL LIARD-THIRTEEN CARS ARE RE- DUCED TO HANDLING

When the splintered remnants of 13 cars were removed from ths Frisco rails, caused by the wreck Sunday at noon near Hilliard, yesterday, the mangled and crushed remains of Roy Hendricks of Ensley were taken out.

The re- mains of both the victims uf the acci- dent are being held in Jasper by J. E. Legs, the undertaken, to whom they were delivered after being found.
 The Identification of Hendfieks was af- fected by finding in his pockets a card bearing his name and also q street car transfer from the Ensley lire. He is supposed to have been riding from Mem pnis when the freight was wrecked and killed him. The brakeman who was in jured is resting well at the Copeland Solomon Wilder infirmary hAte.
 Tho Frisco officers said yesterday the wreck at Hiliard was about as bad, so for as damage to equipment went, as ever occurred on the Frisco southeastern division. The accident happened in deep cut and 13 cars were piled up and telescoped one upon the other. The wreckers reached the scene within a sport time but all their work and me chanical power could not cleah the main lire until 30 hours had elapsed. The pas sengers were transferred or dctoured over other lines while the wrecking crew and a number of officials wrestled with tie debris. At o'clock last night 1t was announced from the Frisco offices that ;he wreck had been removed from the main line and traffic would be back in or der within short time.
 Yesterday trains were detoured over va .;ou.; railroads between Birmingham and Memphis, delays were accordingly ire quent.
