HOLIDAY EXODUS IS
 NOW IN FULL SWING

The railroad and industrial men of the city have completed their personal plans as to the passing of the yuletide season, and beginning today practically all prom inent officers will cease their usual activi- ties and either leave the city for the hol- idays or spend them in their offices very quietly Quite few Birmingham men will pass the holidays with parents or relatives out of the city while a number will remain here.
 Erskine Ramsay left yesterday for Greensburg, Pa, to spend the yuletide season with his mother and relatives. He will be away until January 10.

HANDLEY MEMORIAL
 MEETING POSTPONED
Committee Decides That New Years win Not Be Suitable Time for
 Holding Meeting

At a meeting of the committee of ministers yesterday having the ar arrangements of the memorial service tc the late Dr. Handley In charge, which was scheduled for New Years after noon, 1t was decided to postpone the memorial meeting Yesterdays meet ing was fully attended in the offices of J. W. Mcqueen and the decision to postpone the memorial gathering planned for New Years day was con- cured in by every committeeman.
 The reason assigned for the post ponement was the opinion that the de- tails could not be given sufficient at tention to insure the meeting for that day. It was also believed that as many persons have dates ahead it would be we'll to let the memorial go Gver until the citizens have gotten over the yuletide season and are ready to rive careful attention to other mat tcrs.
 At thetconclusion of the meeting held yesterday afternoon Dr. A. J. Dickinson. re stor of the First Baptist church, who o is chairman, gave out short state noent to the effect that the full details could not be arranged properly by New Years day, hence 1t had been decided to let the. memorial meeting pass over until more suitable date
 It was announced yesterday that an- other meeting of the committee would be held soon when other plans will be drafted and another date set

COY. GRAY TALKS
 ON COMMISSION
WILL NOT TAKE AN ACTIVE PART IN OPPOSING THE MEASURE BUT THINKS ITS PRACTICABILrTY IS DEBATABLE QUESTION

While 1t is generally understood that the settlement of the liquor question will be one of the first matters demanding attention from the members of the next legislature, Lieutenant Governor Henry B. Gray states the belief that the com mission form of government for cities will be presented at an early date in January.
 Asked if he would take hand in op- posing the commission bill, the lieutenant governor stated that he would not take an active part. q have never been un- alterably opposed to the idea of govern ing cities by commission he said "The practicability, however, is matter of de- bate. The representation of each ward in central body is in accordance with the idea on which our democratic government was formed. In America there has ever been an opposition to the standardization of government, or government without representation. But the people have cer- taihly expressed themselves in favor of giving the commission government a trial.
 q opposed the idea of commission gov ernment when presented to the last leg islature because did not enjoy the spec tacle of my friends being legislated out of office without discussion or prepara- tion.'
 MT Gray stated that he expected a bill drawn by John B. Weakley would be the best, in all respects, to be presented to the legislature.

APPELLATE COURT
 SEEMS POPULAR
WOULD HANDLE THE NUMEROUS SMALL APPEAL CASES WHICH NOW CLOG THE WORK OF THE SUPREME COURT

Members of the bar of Jefferson county are exceedingly interested in the plan to create by state statute an appellate court for the relief of the supreme court and the rapid terminating of legal contro- versies.
 The bill to be presented to the legisla- ture providing for the establishment or such a court is in course of preparation by w. W. Lavender, a we'll known lawyer and politician of Centreville. The State Bar association meets in January in Montgomery, and 1t is deemed certain that this bill will be approved by mem bers of the association. The lawyers will then busy themselves in passing the bill through both houses.
 Jere c. King, who discussed the bill yesterday stated that the appellate court if created will consist of three judges. The court will sit in Birmingham, Mobile and Montgomery.
 NO constitutional question will be sub rnitted to the appellate court" stated MT. King, "but all those cases of a small cali bre, involving, say, damages no greater than 5000, those numerous little cases which are clogging the supreme court at the present. time will go into the hands of the appellate judges. At the present time the judges of the supreme court have more than they can possibly do in any certain length of time. Judge May field for instance, at the present time has about 100 appealed cases on which he will have to express opinions. It is no criticism of the justices to state the amount of work which confronts them necessarily causes delays which incon- venance and in certain respects work hardships

 Col. J. C. Maben of the Sloss company and Vice President Mcqueen of that conn pany will be at home, as Is their usual custom Frank Fowlkes will spend ChrEtmas below Mobile with Eugene Brown and their wives on a duck hunt They intend to return about January l.

 L. Sevier, A. D. Bightner. E. F. Stovall, T. E. Brooks, G. B. Mccormack, Capt. P. Sid Jones and other railroad officers will stay here for the Yuletide, while James Richmond McGregor, having recovered from the effects of Robert L. Taylor's de- feat, will spend the Yuletide in Pea Ridge, Tenn.

 IMPROVEMENTS OF INTERIOR OF
 THE l.. & N. PASSENGER STATION
 IN BIRMINGHAM

It was announced yesterday that work on the Louisville and Nashville pa assenger station, which will result in it's total encouragement, will begin about January 2. The work has been held up upon the recommendation of T. E. Brooks. superintendent, until that time on account of the immense holiday travel which goes through that part of the station which will be changed The company gave as an ad- djtiqnal reason for the postponement of the work that the cold season would probably be at its maximum during yhe holidays and that the depot, while undergoing repairs, would not be com- fortable.
 However, it is stated that the great est rush will be over by the time set for the beginning of the work and that every care would be taken to in- sure the comfort of the daily passen- gers during the repairs. The steel and other material for the work have been ordered and are now in the Louisville and Nashville yards awaiting orders from MT. Brooks as to their unload irg When these are issued work will start immediately.

ROOSEVELT WILL
 BE HERE MARCH 10
To Address National Child
 Labor Committee
WILL BE A BIG EVENT
Arrangements Are Under Way to Have National Consumers' League Meet Here at the Same
 Time

Col Theodore Roosevelt has accepted the invitation of the National Child Labor committee to be present March 10 at it's next convention, to be held in Birming- ham, and accordingly the time of the meeting has been set for March 9, 10 and Il. as the most suitable date corre- spending to other scheduled engagements of the ex-President.
 This information has been received by Maurice Willows, superintendent of the Boys club, from Owen R. Lovejoy. gen. eral secretary of the National Child La Dor committee.
 Upon information received from Mir. Lovejoy, negotiations are being made with a few other prominent men, who will be at the business conference in Atlanta prior to the meeting here.
 No arrangements have as yet been made by the local committees, and 1t is im- probable that any action will be taken until after the rush of the holidays. &C., a member of the National Child Labor committee. About the first of next week. said Mrs. Murdock, I've shall probably call a meeting of the Cham- Der of Commerce committee and the Bus mess Mems league to confer with us on the arrangements for the convention"
 The meeting was brought to Birming- ham through the instrumentality of Mrs. Murdock and Judge Feagin, who attended the last convention that was held in Boston. Tt will cost the national com mittee about 5000 to come to our city," said Mrs. Murdock, land will cost Bir- mingham about $500. But we felt that we were in great need of having the convention here, and as a result we pressed the invitation.
 Tt is likely" added Mrs Murdook, that there will also be meeting here at the same time of the National Con sumers' league, in which event there will be the largest assemblage of women ever known in our state. The work of the Consumers league is along the same lines az ours, and Mrs. Florence Kelley, one of its heads. Is trying to arrange the joint meeting.''

ELECT SUCCESSOR
 ID HANSON JAN. s G. B. Mccormack Will Attend
 Savannah Meeting SOME OF THE GOSSIP General Impression Is That Someone Thoroughly Identified With Har-
 riman Interests Will Be
 Given the Place
SOME OF THE GOSSIP

George B. Mccormack of this city has received information of the meeting of Central of Georgia directors which will be held January in Savannah to elect successor to the late Maj. J. F. Han son, president of that line. MT. McCor- mack is a director of the company and will attend the meeting It will probably be attended by a number of officers prominent in Illinois Central circles as well as the Central of Georgia.
 Talking of Central of Georgia affairs yesterday, MT. Mccormack would not venture a suggestion as to who would receive the position made vacant by tho death of Major Hanson. However, he said as rule the election was decided upon by the controlling interest, and the directors simply carried out instructions.
 It is the general opinion that some bright young officer of some Hartman line will be named as president. AL though such information is not spon- sored officially it represents the thought of those in close touch with the situation. Should 1t be decided by the Illinois Cen tral not to elect a Hartman road trained officer, then it is possible that Vice Pres ident w. A. Winburn will be selected He has been in the service many years and worked his way up through sheer display of ability. He is respected by the em- ployes and would make an Ideal presi- dent
 It has been stated hereaboutse that the charter of the Central of Georgia stipu- lates that the president of that line must be native of that state. It is given out here that such is an error. It Is stip- ulated, however that all presidents of the line and all executives must reside in the state of Georgia
 The meeting in Savannah on January 6 is of as much interest here as the meet ing of Illinois Central directors held in New York day before yesterday. The se- lection of a Central of Georgia head Is of prime importance to Birmingham. It Is believed that the Central of Geor- gia will be more in line with the wishes of Illinois Central officers now than in the past. The two lines being of the same ownership, the growth of Brming- ham being so phenomenal, the we'll
 know disposition of the owners of the two lines and their wishes to build up their only southern seaboard outlet of the Hartman lines are a few of the logical arguments going the rounds in support Of the theory that the Illinois Central will order a new survey of its line into this city next year, and that work will start at no distant date. Added to this is the settlement of the many damage suits brought against the company about the Haleyville construction and the brighten ing of conditions, which are all in favor of the Illinois Central being operated into this city on its new rails at some near future time It is known that the H. linois Central Is very much displeased with existing arrangements as to its transportation department here. That will be one of the forceful arguments used in getting the line under way,

MARKHAM MAY COME
 TO BIRMINGHAM SOON
New President of Illinois Central Is Planning n Trip Over the
 Entire System

Local officers of the Illinois Central railroad are expecting a visit from the new president, Charles Markham, who was selected Wednesday to succeed J. T. Harahan. It was stated here yes terday that MT. Markham had expressed a desire to make a thorough inspection of the Illinois Central properties imme- distely and that he would start on the trip within a short time. It is stated that he intends to visit the southern pdnts while the weather in the north and west is at it's lowest temperature and thus avoid the bitterly cold weather prevailing in those sections. MT Markham, should nothing prevent his making the proposed inspection, will be accompanied by re- tiring President J. T. Harahan. w. L. Park. vice president, and other officers.
 I. is said to be the plan to look over the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley into New Orleans, go over the Central of Georgia thoroughly and then travel north over the Illinois Central railroad, through Birmingham
 Positive information upon the rumored visit of Mir. Markham is not obtainable. but the officers here think he will visit this section before he takes up his du- ties as president January l2.
