RAILROADS FILE
CANCELLATION Of
NEW TARIFF RATE
Western Trunk Line Association
Acts Promptly in Accord
ance With TAFT Pledge.

WASHINGTON, June SIN conson-
anc with the verbal arrangements
with President Taft, the railroad COM
panies included in the Western Trunk
Line Association have begun the filing
of tariffs with the Interstate Com
merce Commission In cancellation of
the tariffs which they filed to be
effective on June 1. In the practise of
the commission 1t will be necessary for
the roads to file with the commission
supplementary tariffs cancelling the
advances which they made inc re-
storing the former tariffs to effect.
Although the injunction which the
government obtained applies only to
the rates made by the Western Trunk
Line Association under the verbal
agreement made with the President, 1t
will be incumbent upon the eastern
lines to cancel the advances which they
made to be effective about the first of
July. The agreement, it is assumed,
will apply to passenger as well as to
freight rates, and thus will affect the
communication rates out of New York
filed with the commission by the East
ern lines.
To carry out the arrangement made
"atA L lait, II bt itNtSSdIy
for each of the Eastern roads to file
with the commission a supplementary
tariff putting into effect the former tar
ifs without condition. Nothing in the
agreement with the President or with
the provisions of the measure pending
before the Congress will prevent the
railroads from filing. after the enact
ment of the pending railroad bill, n
rates they may see fit. The point is
that those rates will be subject to revi-
sion by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
In the view of the commissions
officers it probably will be nearly a
year before an adjustment of the rates
can be made by the commission Mr..
Hosmer, of Chicago, rs agent of the

BIGGEST BUSINESS
 IN ROAD'S HISTORY Lee Green of Southern Talks of
 Conditions SEES GOOD TIMES AHEAD Freight Traffic Manager Marvels at the Changes in Birminghsm-visits Number of Industrial Men
 of the District
SEES GOOD TIMES AHEAD

That freight business just now Is the
 largest in southern railway annals and l that conditions warrant the opinion that a continuation may be safely expected
 was the way Lee Green, freight traffic manager for the Southern Railway com pany, talked of business conditions throughout the south.
 MT. Green arrived in Birmingham yes terday to call upon some officers here and look over conditions He was for
 merly division freight agent here and re- moved in 1900 to Washington He said yesterday that business on the Southern is the best in the history of the com pany, and that Birmingham is showing up as fine as any center traversed by the company's lines. He was decidedly opti- mistic over the outlook and marveled at the rapid growth that Birmingham is making
 Business Is great" said MT. Green Just now we are handling the largest gross tonnage in the history of the com pany. And conditions are healthy. The only opinion that can be held under such circumstances Is that the future holds immediate prosperity for all the coun- try.
 The crop Is moving now along with a mighty gross tonnage on our lines. This will keep us busy and prosperous. The entire situation, l think, is very fiattering at this time. We will show very fine increase over any recent year.
 In speaking of the equipment situation and the ability of his lines to handle all traffic, he said:
 The Southern railway Is In fine shape to handle all freight. There is no indus try here that cannot feel that every facility for handling its tonnage will be given. The equipment will be plentiful and every effort will be made to provide
 sufficient cars to obviate any delays to
 traffic The past shortage was unique in way and is fairly spent Mir Green was very much interested in the growth of Birmingham, and said since coming here in 1895 changes that | tax the credulity of the most imaginative person had taken place.
 Birmingham has certainly grown, and | is the marvel of the country said MT. l Green. f'The growth of this city can | be better appreciated by a person away l from here who makes a visit every few 1 years. I would not attempt to describe | in how many ways the rapid growth of Birmingham is evident. The census flg- | ures assisted Birmingham to a wonderful degree, and there Is certainly no way to figure how great this city will be 10 years from now.''
 Mir Green with L. Sevier, general agent for the company, visited many industrial
 men during the day and attended a con-
 ference late in the afternoon with traffic
 men gathered here. MT. Green said the conference was requested by the Mer- | chants association here.
 1 He will be here today and will leave to- night for Washington.

MAYOR EXUM GETTING
 BEHIND CONTRACTORS

Mayor Exum is right in behind the con tractors who have not completed their work on the city's streets in contract time. He has had the McCartin Contract ing company. the Birmingham Paving and Contracting company, and the B. w. Jordan Paving company representa- lives in his office and every contract was taken up and discussed separately.
 He found that these companies were pushing their work as rapidly as possi- ble. All the other companies will be summoned during the week. The Mayor is of the opinion that the contracting companies can all finish their work with in reasonable time.

MAYOR ACTIVE ON CREMATORY MATTER

Mayor Exum will request that meet ing of the special council committee or the crematory meet with him Thursday afternoon to go over all the bids which have been received. He states that the reliable manufacturers have submitted their bids, and he wants the committee to look them over, appoint special com mittee and send it immediately to ex- anime crematories in other cities.
 If the committee meets Thursday it is probable that a committee, including the Mayor, will leave next week .oT Allahfa. Richmond ann other points.
 It ig the hope of the Mayor that actual work on central crematory may begin by the first of 1911, and completed be- fore the winter is over. If he does sue ceed within three months of his terms in sta5ting work on crematory 1t will mean 4fpe settlement Of problem with which tNee other administrations have wrestled ui)euccessfully.

EXPERT ON AIR"

The qualifications necessary to a member of the legislature before he can aspire to be an expert on air. was the subject of an interesting legal dispute yesterday in the criminal court, where the Majors case Is on trial.
 Judge Gaston Gunter of Montgomery, who was yesterday elected to a seat in the state legislature, was on the wit ness stand. He testified to being pas senger on the train which was wreck ed at Cunningham and stated that there were two distinct jars when the two engines collided.
 Whom the witness was asked by Judge B. NJ Allen for the state wheth the first jar was due to the putting on of air brakes. Counsel Jere c. King for the defense objected on the grounds that Judge Gunter had not qualified at an "expert on air"
 But Judge Allen was equal to the oc- casion.
 If your honor please" he said, ad- dressing the court, i've will prove that the witness is such an expert
 Are you not . lawyer?" he asked of Judge Gunter. Whereupon the court. without waiting for an answer, prompt iy overruled MT. Kings objection.

 BY STOREKEEPER
p,or CALL WAS TURNED IN TO THE POLICE HEADQUARTERS DURING
 AFERAy ON AVENUE F-GREER
 SAYS HE SHOT IN sELF-DEFENsE

 creer claims that he shot in self de- fense. He states that the negroes had been lettering around the store and acting suspiciously throughout the evening. They had been in the store twice on flimsy excuse and Greer said that he thought they were going to hold him up.
 He states that he recognized one of the negroes as one of gang who held him up on Red mountain early in the summer and beat him up so badly that if was necessary to remain in the hos pital several weeks. When this negro entered the store Greer states that he told them to get out. They continued to advance and he claims that one of them tried to get a meat knife that was lying nearby. When they did this Greer began to shoot
 Greer made the following statement of the affair to the detectives last night "The four negroes had been hanging around the store for some time and had been In the store twice for nothing. When they came in the third time I recognized one of them as one of the negroes who held me up on Red mountain early in the summer and as- saulted me.
 When I saw this I told them to stay where they were. They continued tc advance and one of them reached for a meat knife that was lying on the counter. When he did this I began shooting in self defense"
 Greer was locked in the city Jail or three charges of assault with intent ts murder.

 BY AYIATORS
 AT BALTIMORE

Baltimore. November S-After a morn Ing of ideal aviation weather conditions today high winds began to blow and for tune 1t looked as though the largest crowd that has thus far gathered at the Baltimore aviation field would be disap- pointed altogether. Throughout the aft ernoon the wind was variable. at titnes blowing at the rate of 27 miles an hour and others dropping to five During a moment of comparative calm one of the flyers would take to the air, only to find upon rising 100 feet or so that he was fighting a small gale.
 Latham, DeLesseps, Drexel and Hox- sey all gave beautiful demonstrations O. their command over their machines, but they were unable to accomplish any thing remarkable in altitude, speed or sustained flight
 Archibald Hoxsey opened the afternoon sport, going up fin his Wright biplane a few minutes after 3 o'clock. He made five circuits of the mile track, the best in 1:25 1-5, and remained in the air 9 minutes 23 AS seconds.
 Latham. in his Antoinette, left the ground at 3:2S. He made about five laps of the track landing on the back stretch. after being in the air 12 minutes, sec onds. owing to a slight difficulty with his motor. Count DeIesseps, in his Bic riot. was next to take wing at 8,H. but he landed . couple of minutes later, hay ing made a single circuit of the course At 4:aS J. Armstrong Drexei in his Ble- riot went aloft in the teeth of a 15- mile wind He flew considerably higher than did any of the others, remaining in the air bit over six minutes The wind having moderated to nine miles an hour DeLesseps again took wing, making one lap in one minute, secondg, the fastest of the day. Another flight of minutes, 55 seconds duration by Latham closed the flying for the day
