ARREST NEGRO FOR
 MISUSE 0F MAILS
Charged With Writing Let ter to Mrs. Russell and
 Demanding Money

Henry Hudson. negro, is in the county jail charged with using the mails with intent to- defraud, as a result of a letter received by Mrs. Mar tie Russell of West End station, oil October II.
 The letter received by Mrs. Russell read as follows:
 You just put $1S00 in can and leave it up by the old well at Henry Etta Martins place, Friday before o'clock. You can have your old man 10 do it for you. If you don't your house will be burnt up. We mean business and no mistake. Better not tell any one either. Friday, the 18th.
 Mrs. Russell called on the United States marshal, who investigated the matter as far as he could under the evidence then in his possession.
 A decoy was set for the writer and the place named. Deputy Sherim J. P. DeJarnette lay in hiding when Hud- son, with a little negro boy, came to the place and kicked the can over. The officer then presented himself and placed the negro under arrest.
 hudson is a miner and submitted to his arrest quite peaceably. He stated that he had come to the well to se- cure a pole with which the boy was to do some work, and does not seem to understand why he Is arrested. The little negro boy who was with him was released as he was only Il years or age.
 4-udson, is an intelligent negro and speaks well. He writes fairly good hand. He states that he is 32 years of age. He will be tried before Com missioner Watts next week

75,OOO VISITORS WERE IN THE CITY Enormous Crowds Handled
 By Railroads WERE No ACCIDENTS Local Street Car Company Estimates
WERE NO ACCIDENTS
Local Street Car Company Estimates They Handled Between 175,000 and 100000 to and from
 the Fair Grounds

That 75,GOO visitor were brought 10 Bir- mingnam during the fair by special fair trains was the total arrived at yester-
 day after each railroad in Birmingham had made careful estimates of the pas- sengers they had handled. Of this great
 crowd it is estimated that nearly all visited the State Fair, and inquiry of the
 Birmingham Railway Light and Power company brought forth the statement from George H. Harris general super intendent of operations, that between
 I75,O0o and 100000 passengers had been
 hauled by them to the fair grounds dur ing the week
 The railroad estimates were placed as 1 follows:
 Louisville and Nashville Railroad 22,0O0 extra passengers during 10 days, based on 20 trains per day bringing an aver
 age of 120 passengers to the fair per train. Estimate made by Robert c. Pierce,
 travelling passenger agent,
 l Southern Railway Company: Eight
 trains per day. estimate being 2l,O00, made
 by R. B. Craigh, district passenger agent.
 Frisco Lines: 10000 on six trains per udS, eStliudte Hldue py tdpt. JdhieS i.ieH-
 mond McGregor district passenger agent. Seaboard Air Line Railroad: 25oo in 10 days, estimate made by w. B. Gresham,
 city passenger agent.
 Central of Georgia Railroad: 25o0 pas sengers in 10 days. estimated by officials
 at the Terminal station from daily re- ports made by passenger conductors.
 Alabama Great Southern Railroad: 15-
 900 in 10 days, with eight daily trains,
 estimate made by J. N. Winston. chief
 dispatcher, by authority of J. w. Evens,
 superintendent on daily conductors re- ports.
 Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic: 150O
 passengers from the newly opened east Alabama territory, estimate made by
 union ticket agent at Louisville and Nash
 vile station officials from reports on file
 at that point.
 The total is 75,OOO passengers handled
 into this city during 10 days of which
 one was Sunday and few travelled on that day. George H. Harris of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company said: eve placed in service every car
 on the fair grounds line that we could
 possibly spare. I estimate that during the fair we handled between 175,000 and 200.0 900 passengers to the fair grounds and
 return. That is a conservative figure And it is most gratifying to the officials
 of this company that during the rush times, with a stream of humanity pour l ing both ways, we did not have an -acci- | dent of any description.
 After bragging I hit upon wood and I hope before this day is out that we will still have that record. Our en- ployes have worked with rare good spirit and have handled this immense swarm of people as good as the employees of any company in this country. l do not hesitate to give our boys credit for a splendid example of loyalty and team
 work

Henry B. Gray and Ms. Gray will leave. this morning for a four months trip to Che orient.
 They will go direct to New York and from that point will sail Saturday for In- da. In India they will spend three weeks, and thereafter will go to Japan. In Japan they will spend a month. On the trip other countries will be visited.
 MT Gray, who since the death of John w. Toninson is the only announced can ddate for national committeeman of the democratie party in Alabama, stated yes terday morning that he might not make an active campaign for the honor, and that, at any rate, he would take no step until his return from the east.
 Every man in Alabsma." stated he, Ifs for Oscar Underwood for President. l will be governed entirely in my candida cy by the situation as I find it on srny re- turn. If fl is thought that the election of some other man would better serve the ambition of Alabama for Underwood, then would not hesitate to retire from the field.
 There is slim chance, in ny opinion,

 FOR TRIP TO THE ORIENT

of Underwood landing the nomination. In case a deadlock should occur. his chance would be good. Were he to receive the nomination.. his election to the presidency would be a 10 to 1 shot. With the tariff as an issue, and by holding before the people at large the dream of obtaining necessities of life at reasonable prices, Underwood could not be stopped At any rate, his chance of landing the sec ond place on the ticket, is excellent. In spite of the fact that his election to the vice presidency would tend to remove him from active life before the public, Underwood owes it to the people to ae- cept the honor of vice presidential nomi- ration if it is tendered. He will be the first Alaba milan to receives votes for the presidential nomination., and were he elected Vice President he would be the second Alabamian so honored in the his tory of this nation.
 Alabama is unanimously In favor of Underwood The situation is of intense interest. It's possibilities are immeas- ura ble."

A card from Commissioner James Weatherly, to the effect that. a statement : that he was resisting the granting of license to the University club was untrue. the filing of a brief by Sydney J. Bowie against the University club, and a direct conference of some of the neighbors with excisemen, constitute the developments yesterday in the University clubs effort to secure liquor license.
 The fight against the club will be rs- stunned before the excise commission to- morrow when Commissioner Wilkinson returns for business. The card of Mir. Weatherly, which was made after ho was informed of the rumor. follows:
 'It; has been reported to me that tho impression has gained credence among members of the University club that I am resisting the granting of license to the University club by the excise com mission. I deem it proper for me to state that this is untrue. 1 have taken | no part in the controversy, for the rea- son that as a member of the board of commissioners of the city the matter might come before me officially. At the request of neghbor living in the local- ity of the club I stated his complaint before the joint meeting of the excise commission with the city commission sev- eral weeks ago. Apart from that have declined to interfere for the reasons stated. JAMES WEATHERLY.'
 Sydney T. Bowie called at the com- mission office yesterday morning. He left word that he would send brief down yesterday and within a few min- utes a messenger appeared with the brief.
