COAL INDUSTRIAL RATE CASE MONDAY Railroad Commission Will
 Hear Evidence WOULD CHANGE RATE Thousands of Dollars and the Future of Talladega, Gadsden and
 Anniston Are in the
 Balance
WOULD CHANGE RATE

Montgomery, April 27.-(Special.)-One of the most important cases that has been before the Alabama railroad com mission in several months will come up for consideration on next Monday, when the coal industrial rate case will be given a hearing. This case has been on the docket for several months, but at each session of the commission 1t has been postponed at the request of the various parties in the case.
 The coal industrial rate case has grown roads operating through the Anniston, Gadsden and Talladega circuit to increase the rate on coal from the Birmingham coal fields to these cities.
 The present rate has obtained for a number of years, and it is declared that it has been the means of bringing many industrial and manufacturing plants to these three cities. On the part of the business interests of these places 1t is urged that to increase this rate would be to seriously cripple these various in- dustries, and that 1t would be a discrim- ipation against them In rates.
 The case is of such magnitude as tc involve hundreds of thousands or dollars annually, and 1t Is anticipated that at the hearing on next Monday there will be several hundred railroad representatives present.
 The other cases on the docket for Mon- day, 1t Is understood, are of a minor na- ture, being various petitions for better depot facilities, and other business de- ferred from previous sessions of the rail- road commission.
 The session on Monday will be held at the new rooms of the commission in the Bell building, on the sixth floor. Mem bers of the commission feel grave ap- prehension in regard to their ability to seat the large delegation which is expect ed to appear before them, as their as- sembly room is considerably smaller than the old assembly room at the capitol. but it Is announced that an effort will be made to accommodate those who may he nresent.

SENIOR DAY AT
 THE UNIVERSITY John c. Morrow of Birming- ham Is Orator From
 the Senior Class

University. April 26.-(Speoial. )-Senior day was observed at the university today with the usual exercises, orations and the planting of the class tree. The seniors were excused from classes for the en- tire day and everybody was excused from il o'clock until |. while the exercises were going on.
 The first part of the celebration was 1ield in Clark hall, where large audience of students and visitors were gathered to hear the speeches. Col. T. c. McCorvey, professor of history in the university, who is an honorary member of the senior class, made the first address. He did not choose any definite subject on which to talk but dwelt upon those things which are most interesting and of the greatest benefit to young men and women who are just about to leave college and start cut in the battle of life. He enumerated to them the many fields which were open to college graduates and he also called to their minds the great resources of their own state and urged them to use their best efforts to develop these.
 The orator from the senior class on the occasion was John c. Morrow of Birming- ham. He took up the greater part of his speech in reminding his classmates of the large resources that had been expended in their behalf, and how much the state and the people would expect of them as college men and women.
 Both speeches were very able ones and were enjoyed by all present. The planting of the tree was the last of the exercises. The seniors were all entertained at din ner by Colonel and Mrs. McCorvey.
