MAKING TRAFFIC PLANS
seabonrd and Frisco Freight Officials
 Here for Conference

conference is being held in Birming- ham between the Frisco System and Sea- board Air Line transportation officials, the object of which is to attempt to ar- rive at some arrangement for through connection between the two roads in the handling of freight and passenger trains.
 Over 20 officials are in attendance on the conference, which is being held in the office of A. D. Lightner. general agent of the Frisco system. Only officials in the freight departments of the two roads are present at this conference, but it is un- derstood that if an amicable freight ar engagement is arrived at the passenger of ficials will get together and confer.
 General Superintendent J. T. Hutchi- son of the Frisco system is expected to arrive in Birmingham today from Joplin Mo. and will, it is understood, take up the matter.
 A connection between these two roads would prove d factor in the handling of freight in this section of the country. It would give the Seaboard way to the west and the Frisco a connection to the southeast. Through freights making this connection would undoubtedly give both roads a great leverage.
 Among those attending the meeting for the Seaboard were: R. J. Cheatham. first assistant general freight agent, Norfolk; J. G. Cantrell, general western agent at St. Louis J. H. Flythe commercial agent at Augusta; w. A. Fulwiler, com mercial agent at Oklahoma City: T. R. Thompson, commercial agent at Kansas City; R. w. Daniel, commercial agent at Memphis; B, H. Hartley commercial agent at Atlanta, and M. J. McDonough assistant general freight agent in this city
 Among the Frisco officials present were E T. Wilcox, assistant general freight agent of that road at Memphis; E. D. Levy, general superintendent of transpor- tation at Springfield, Mo-; Commercial Agent Doughtry of Memphis; E. K. Voor- hees, general freight agent, St. Louis: c. A. Forrest, commercial agent at Atlanta J. A. Middleton, freight traffic manager at St. Louis, and A. D. Lightner, general agent at Birmingham.

George Watkins Shot

George Watkins, a blacksmith, em- ployed by the Tennessee company at Belle Sumter, was shot and fatally wounded late yesterday afternoon by Sam Byrum, also employed by the Tennessee company. It seems that Byrum went to the shop of Watkins and requested the loan of some tools. Watkins did not have the authority to lend the tools and refused A few words ensued and By rum left to return in a few minutes when the shooting took place. Watkins was shot through the neck and died this morning in Birmingham hospital
 Immediately after the shooting Byrum fled and was pursued by a posse of en- ragged citizens. He escaped and up to a late hour tonight had not been cap- tured. Watkins stated to his wife this morning that the shooting was entirely unjustifiable and unexpected. The funeral will take place Sunday at Oak Grove, where Watkins has three sisters.
 This is the third man to be fatally wounded in the Bessemer district within the past few weeks and it is a peculiar coincidence that they were all shot through the neck. J. G. Armstrong Is dying slowly at the TalIey & McAdory infirmary in Birmingham. Captain Young is dead, as is Watkins.

Another strange fact is that only
one woman committed suicide to Is
men. Eight of the victims of homi-
cides were men and two were
women.
OF the methods of shuffling off,
poisoning was the most popular,
as seven chose this route to six
that preferred shooting, one who
cut his throat, one that employed
drowning and one hanging.
In the statistics on accidental
deaths the railroads and accidents
that resulted in injuries to the skull
lead, each claiming IA victims. Ten

! Travellers visiting in Spokane say
that the hello" girls and news
stand girls in the hotels here are
prettier, on the average, than those
in any other western city. The
local hotels, in fact, seem to exert
efforts to outrival one another in
being honored with the prettiest
girls for the stands and the phone
exchanges, for their guests like to
talk to attractive clerks. Most of
the girls live at home, in the best
parts of the city, and their hours in
the hotels are not too long. They
enjoy their work, and many a time
little Dan Cupid plays part, in the
medium of these same news stands
and exchanges, and the happiest
sort of marriages have been the
result.
