GET TURPENTINE
 IN IMPROVED WAY
,,op,,E COMPANY WILL BE FORMED TO TAKE IT FROM TREES IN AIR. TIGHT BOTTLEs-NEGRO WALK FER ARRAIGNED

Mobile, September 5.-(Special.) .)-It was learned this afternoon that Mobile law yer is working out plans for incorporat- ing a company to promote the Gilmer sys- tenn of getting turpentine from trees in air-tight jars. G. H. Howze and T. M Mccall, two of the three men owning the new patent, admitted that within a few days the company will be organ zed. They would not give out any of the details of the incorporation, but stated the company would be organized upon solid basis. Under the new system no hacking a tree, which eventually kills the timber, is necessary. A three quarter of an inch hole is bored into the sap of the tree, and is covered with metal cap. Attached to the cap is three-inch metal lead and another cap, which fits over a glass jar, making an air-tight conductor for the turpentine from the time 1t leaves the tree until the jar is filed The tur- pentine in the jar, being protected from the air. loses none of the strength by evaporation. On top of the crude tur- pentine In the air-tight jars can be seen pure turpentine oil. which brings $4 a

surcharged With FriendIiness


 The air around the capitol was sur charged with friendiness when the rail- road representatives met to discuss the salient feature of the call-thst of better sanitary precautions on the part of the of the Southern road, and assistant to the president, was the first to speak in behalf of the railroads. MT. Thompson said that it was the earnest desire of all the railroads in Alabama to co-op- crate with the railroad commission, 6nd to make all improvements on their lines that were possible. He said, however, that none of the roads had had suffi- cient time to collect all tho data neces- sary, and requested that the commission allow them 60 days in which to get to- gether certain information In regard to their respective lines before they should reach any final decision in the matter. MT. Thompson said that the representa- tives did not ask for extension of time with the object in view of evading or delaying the matter, but only that they might have time to compile this data and special information with reference to the complaints that had been made.
 After some further discussion, the commission granted the request of the representatives that they might have two months longer and suggested that as a means of aiding the representatives in considering certain sanitary improve ments they should hear from Dr. Sand CTS, state health officer, who was pres ent.
 Dr. Sanders spoke for about 20 min utes, in which he said that he felt that considerable improvement should be made in the sanitary arrangements of passenger cars but that he had not been bIa to ,,iva tho n1attar sufficient thoiipbf to offer any suggestions. He said that he would give the matter close study and report at the next meeting of the commission.
 Complete harmony prevailed throughout the meeting, both the railroad repre- sentatves and commission showing an earnest desire to remedy certain exist ing evils, but no definite plans were sug gested or discussed
