RAILROAD MEN ARE
 MORE TRACTABLE
PROPOSITION MADE TO COUNCIL REGARDING yIADUCTs WILL HE ENTIRELY SATISFACTORY

l The next meeting of railroad men in Birmingham to handle the viaduct mat , ter will be representative and that from their decision at the next meeting there will be no appeal was the statement made here yesterday by member of the loca, committee of railroad men who are assist ing in getting a viaduct for Birmingham on First avenue
 It Is stated that the last meeting, when the s3oo,0oo cash donation plan was formu- lated was not only not representative, but that the committee did not have the re- | motest idea that. it's plan as submitted would be accepted. At the last meeting two CT three lines were represented by local executive representatives who at almost all meetings of this kind are suc- ceeded by executives from headquarters. It is stated that at the last meeting the Seaboard Air Line was practically without representation, for C. H. Hix, Vice president and general manager, left even before the plan as offered was agreed to. Colonel Tillman, who was left here to act for the Seapoard was forced to go to Montgomery the same afternoon
 The Frisco was represented by A. D. Lightner, general agent. who although vested with absolute power in most cases did not feel warranted in acting finally for his company.
 At the forthcoming meeting which will be agreed to within the next few days, il is expected here that every line will be represented If not by it's president then by senior vice presidents who are vested with absolute power to act in regard to Birmingham yiadUpt.
 The meeting will be final, as the city has given an ultimatum which cannot be misunderstood and upon which some ac- tions will be seriously taken within the next 10 days. The railroads have taken the city's desire for a viaduct more seri- ously since the utimatum than in years past. They realize perhaps better than anyone that something must be done It
 is stated that the railroads will not pre- cipitate any legal action, but that a dc. . cision will be reached which will com mand the respect and commendation of the City Council. The. action will be taken in answer to the ultimatum not by December '. the limit date, but within very few days thereafter.

AMUSEMENT ITS
Mrs. Fiske

Mrs. Fiske's artistic career has been one of astonishing contrasts, one of the parison of Becky sharp in which she is to appear at the Jefferson tonight, and Salvation Nell in which she was seen here last season, after an absence of many years from all but very limited number of southern cities. Becky Sharp founded on Thackeray's "Vanity Fair,'' is almost us we'll known as Rip Van Wrinkle and yet the south in general has never, until this season, been made familiar with 1t.

A pleasing and vital feature in connee- ton with the plot and story of Charles Kleins drama, "The Third Degree, '' which is to be seen at the Jefferson the atre next week under the Henry B.

PLANNING BIG MEMORIAL
 MEETING FOR DIR. HANDLEY

morial open, to be handled by other con. gregations.
 Nothing was done last night looking toward permanently filling the pulpit made vacant by the death of Dr. Hand- ley. A committee of two was appointed to make arrangements with some min ister to fill the pulpit next Sunday. Ii Is thought probable that pr. J. T, Plum ket will preach on that occasion, as he has already made provision to have his pulpit occupied that day.
 The session also called a meeting of the congregation for Sunday week, when the whole congregation will discuss the status of the church, plans for the fu- ture, and steps will be taken to call an- other pastor.

FINE REPORT BY
 COLLECTOR BOGGAN
LICENSES FOR NOVEMBER WERE
 ssse4 %, WHILE TOTAL. FOR YEAR
 NOW STANDS AT *a45.o22.55 AHEAD or 1907

The report of License Collector J. J. Boggan for the month of November shows 8 total of s5Se4. 50. the largest collections ever recorded for November, the dullest month in the year, and brings the total collections for this year up to s345, OPP 70, which is larger than even the banner liquor year, 1907, when the total was S32O.- 415. For the same Il months period in 1909 the collections were s276, 130. .25.
 These figures not only demonstrate the increase in diversified business in Bir mingham, but the increased activities of the collector. If the same licenses for liquor selling privileges were collected" said MT. Boggan yesterday, Birmingham would be on easy street, and could hang out a money to loan sign

Good TRIP

A few minutes after ten o'clock
this morning the Matson liner Lur-
line was sighted off Koko Head, and
at noon she was alongside of the
Hackfeld wharf While coming into
the harbor, the steering gear refused
to work and only the quick work
of Captain Weeden saved the ship
from running ashore off the marine
railway. AS soon as Captain Weeden
saw that something was wrong he
ordered the starboard anchor to let
go, and immediately went astern on
the engines. The tug Intrepid was
signalled and helped the liner in.
Twenty-Five first class and two
steerage passengers were brought, IN
addition to eighty-nine four-footed
passengers which include COWS, bulls,
mules and horses. Good weather with
the exception of the first two days
was reported by the officers of the
ship. Seventy-three bags of mai
were brought.
Among the passengers are Mrs. G.
M. Cooke Jr., and her two children
Miss Caroline and Master Charles

MOVING PICTURE
OF LIVE FISH

One of the most beautiful products
of photography and cinematography
ever seen appears in a moving pic
ture film of living Hawaiian fishes
which is being perfected in R: x.
Bonine's laboratory in Union street.
Professor w. A. Bryan photograph,
ed the fishes i'll a tank the day they
were caught. Besides several spe-
cies of the variegated colors and
queer shapes to be seen in the allua
rum, the collection includes a large
eel and crawfish both of which are
obliging actors as the scene nfolds
on the screen. The clustering coats
of the finny specimens come out
splendidly in the picture. 1t is
marvel how the translucent effect OF
the more shiny ones has been caught.
Before public exhibition the fishes
will be treated in natural colors on
the film, when a moving picture of
unexampled brilliance will be the re-
| suit.
Prof. Bryan will use this moving
picture, on his vacation trip to the
East, to illustrate lecture on the
natural wonders of the Pacific. 1t
! is bound to make a sensation both
| with scientific bodies and the general
public. Professor Bryan is one of
the leading naturalists of Hawaii with
large circle of scientific acquaint-
ances abroad.
Members of the press AMI 4 few
| friends were treated to a private view
of the living fish picture the other
evening at Mr.. Bonine's laboratory.

CELL---F0R NOTHING

So he walked with the officer to
the station, confident of his ability
TO prove his innocence, and there,
without any charge being laid
against him, or without being given
any chance to say anything In his
own behalf, he was "frisked" and
bit in cell. The next day he
asked to see some of his friends or
have them phoned to, but was told
to mind his own business. He says
that he found it impossible to eat
the scraps of food furnihed the pris-
oners, and that the plates and
knives and forks were kept in a
filthy condition. On Monday he was
taken before the chief, where he
says he heard conversation ex-
ceedingly unbecoming to the heads
of the department. After a few
desultory remarks Sullivan told him
that there was nothing against him
and he might as well go.
But he spent AS hours in the cell
and for nothing.
