RIJMOR MARRIES MISS
 ELKINS ONCE MORE

Washington, March 26.-(special)- A rumor is circulating about Wash ington that Miss Katherine Elkins and William Hit of Chicago and Wash ington were married early in the week in Arizona.
 A note, stating this rumor was sent to both MT. Hit and Miss Elkins, at the Hit mansion, the information was given that Mir. Hit was at the Elkins home on K street, and the note was carried there, and received by MT. Hit. Both MT. Hit and Miss Elkins sent back the non-committal sentence. No answer"
 It Is known that MT. Hit and Miss Ellxins spent part of the week in the Grand Canyon section of Arizona, under the chaperonage of Miss Elkins sister-in-law. Mrs. Blaine E1kins. So- ciety here has been in momentary ex- pectation of the news of an engage ment at least, and therefore does not hesitate to believe that Miss Katherine has already stolen a march on her friends.

DIXIE FLYER WRECK
 DELAYS SEMINOLE
Illinois Central. Train Three Hours Late as Result of the
 Catastrophe

The first effects of the disastrous Triton and Waycross, Ga., were felt here yesterday when the Seminole linn ited of the Illinois Central arrived in Birmingham about three hours late. This train uses the same tracks into jacksonville as the i'll fated Dixie Flyer" and the wreck caused 1t to be detoured over other railroads in the trip to Birmingham.
 General Agent F. F. Stovall of the H. linois Central railroad, when questioned last night, said he had no report about the conditions on the Atlantic Coast Line but that he had been advised that his company's train, the Seminole linn ited would be detoured and conse- quently late today
 According to passengers on the Sem- mole limited yesterday who passed the asylum of the injured Dixie Flyer" passengers the havoc wrought by the wreck is almost indescribable. It Is stated that the full horrors of the accident will never be known except to those who unfortunately shared in It's III effects.a
 The Seminole limited passengers reaching here yesterday said 1t was re- ported that southbound trains were now operating between Triton and Waycross without any trouble, the track and trestle having been repaired.

"The Fortune Hunter

The most important event in early the
 atrcal offerings will be ''The Fortune
 Hunter" Winchell Smiths famous
 comedy, presented by the same orig inal company which has been offering this delightful play in Chicago for the past nine months. From the beginning of the engagement it was kept on several weeks to a very light patronage. Finally the tide turned and the metropolis of tho west woke up to the fact that charm ing piece, bubbling with clean fun and fraught with honest sentiment was vis- ible, and for the remaining time during the engagement the theatre was packed rightly. The engagement holds the pros- pect of much innocent, pleasant diversion for patrons of the Jefferson theatre for two night and one matinee, beginning Thursday evening, March 30.

MEANS HEADS
 TRAVELLING MEN
William Mabry Chosen Sec retary at Annual Elec-
 tiOn of T. P A.

At a largely attended meeting of the Travellers Protective association, held Saturday night. Frank Means was re- elected president for the ensuing year and William Mabry secretary.
 The attendance was very large and a great deal of enthusiasm over the annual reports made was apparent.
 It was stated at the conclusion of the meeting that another gathering would be held soon, at which time the prop osition to establish a club room would be finally settled and active work start ed for the consummation of that ambi- ton by the "drummers."
 The plan as outlined so far is to fit up club complete in every way en- abling the travelling men to come in closer contact by more frequent meet ings than is possible without such an institution.
 The annual reports made by Presi- dent Means and Secretary Mabry were very flattering, showing the association to be in the best of shape. It was the sense of the meeting that an active campaign be inaugurated for more members and this will be one of the battles waged during the current year.

 PEACE CONFERENCE
Miss Crozier of New York Thinks That Birmingham
 Should Send Delegate

Miss l.. Graham Crozier of New York, who has made long study of social con- ditions in that city, is in Birmingham for a few days. She is a southern woman who is inteersted deeply in all sociology cal conditions and is here to assist Bir- mngham in making proper representa- ton at the forthcoming peace confer ence to be held In New York April 3. sire that Birmingham may send to New York a representative citizen to confer with the leaders of the peace movement and said yesterday through such means great good would result for this region.
 In speaking of this work Miss Crozier said:
 "The promoters of the peace conference are anxiously seeking new ideas and new men and are almost wistful that the south send to the conference representa- tive men to study the questions presented and to take counsel with them upon the great questions facing the American peo- ple. The designation peace does not  but the meeting is for the purpose of as- sisting in the solution of all issues of in terest to the world at large. Such rep resentation as there should be from Bir- mingham would result in a great amount of credit for this city and would promote a firmer relation between two sections of our country.
 Tn talking of new issues I feel that there should be some action taken as to the army recruits that are being taken from this section. With the army recruit ing officers continually at work there have been recruited the sturdiest and most representative young men from the Appalachian region during the past few years. This region furnishes more sol diers than Boston, New York or Chicago and the effects have been evil. That Is one thing a representative from the south shoudl take up and which I should insist be solved.
 q think Birmingham has many men who would make a fine showing at the meeting, but none who could make better impression according to my opn- ion that James A. Van Hoose. He has lived here a long time, has been success full and has developel into one of Bir- mingham's most useful citizens. He would be enabled to show the men at the con- ference the difference between the old time southern gentleman and the finan- cier. the politician and others with whom the east is more or less acquainted
 Miss Crozier will be here several days during which time it is believed her sug- gestion as to Birmingham representative to the conference will be acted upon.

WILHELM BARS RISKY
 STAGE SITUATIONS

Berlin, March 26.-(Special) )-Emper- or williams opposition to risky stage situations has been again displayed in his refusal to attend performance or Richard Strauss "Rosengavalier," or to allow it to be produced in the Berlin royal opera house until certain offen- sive details are removed. For instance the Emperor. insists that the first act which shows the golden bedroom Of the field marshals wife, shall be altered to dressing room, no bed being shown. In the same act some cuts are to be ma de so that the relations of the Rosengavalier with the field narshars wife shall not be so frank lv cratic, their affection to be present. cd as platonic rather than romantic. In the last act, where Baron Ochs tries to betray the Rosenkavalier, disguised as a girl, there Is no bed in the alcove as was shown in Dresden
 Strauss has been in Berlin this week to arrange for the alterations rendered necessary by the Emperor's vigorous censorship.

END OF THE STRIKE
 CAUSE OF RELIEF Settlement Pleases Queen
 and Crescent Men POWELL ISSUES CARD Vice President Says Normal Condi- tions Are Restored and Line Af-
 fected Is Now Ready to
 Handle All Freight
POWELL ISSUES CARD

feeling of intense relief was evi- dent in Birmingham yesterday among shippers and railroad men, caused by the amicable settlement and subsequent calling off of the strike or white fire men on the Queen and Crescent route. a unit Of which is the Alabama Great Southern railroad running to this city.
 While no serious effects of the strike have been felt here, as traffic has been moved without any interruption, the shippers and railroad men considered the condition alarming as it could not be discounted that other employees oc the railroad would become involved if the strike continued for any length of time.
 The settlement of the strike was the result of a conference held in Wash ington between President W. w. Fin ley of the Southern railway. which company owns the Queen and Cres- cent route, Thomas Powell. vice pres ident in charge of the Queen and Cres- cent, Horace Boker. general manager and Martin A. Knapp of Washington. Their conclusion was made to the fire mems officials and resulted in the strike being called off Saturday.
 It was officially announced here yes- tcrday through telegrams sent by Vice President Powell that every condition was normal and that freight which has been diverted from the mountain di- vision between Somerset and Oakdale could be sent forward now.
 His telegram follows:
 "Cincinnati, O., March 26. eirt.1t ''Firemen's strike declared off al once and all normal conditions of the Cin- cinnati. New Orleans and Texas Pa cifc have been restored. Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific is therefore in position to handle all freight. Please resume via that route freight now being diverted.
 TT. c. POWELL,
 "Vice President"
 It was given out here yesterday by officials of the Queen and Crescent route that the strike as causing un- toward effects was not very serious and that the freight conditions in the strike zone were the cause of the great est worry to the officials. The report that a number of men were killed was stated as misleading and the number of wounded is said to be very small It is said that only two men were killed so far as tho officials were advised and a few men were shot by stray bull let's. There has been no effort to con- ceal the fact that on the mountain di- vision the freight trains were pep pered with bullets but fortunately very few men were hit
 The strike lasted 16 days during which time In Birmingham the four fast passenger trains were practically on time every run. One day the con- ditions caused wreck on this division, which was clear, however, in a few hours.
 The passenger traffic conditions have been extremely well cared for and freight to many points has been prac- tically unaffected. Nominal conditions are expected within a very short time.

He said last night that he fla vored very much the plan of sending special boosters train fromt Bir- mingham but did not feel that 1t would be proper to inaugurate such a plan in the absence of action on the part of committee appointed for that particu- lar purpose. He said, however, that if the committee sought his aid he would unhesitatingly indorse the proposition and recommend that the journey be un . dertaken.
