ENGINE CRASHES INTO STREET CAR Mrs. Atwood Injured and Passengers Are
 Shaken Up

One lady. Mrs. Eleanor Atwood was injured and many were badly shaken and bruised up in street car wreck yesterday afternoon at Ninth ave- nue and Nineteenth street, when a High land car ran into a Frisco switch engine at the crossing.
 It is stated by persons who were on the car that the car was approaching the railroad crossing from the north at the time the engine was crossing Nine teenth street. The brakes were applied to the car but they refusd to work and the car crashed into the engine. The rear end of the car leaped Into the air and swerved to the west about 10 or 15 feet, while the front end was thrown from the track and stuck in the ground.
 Shaw's ambulance was called and Mrs. Atwood was taken to her home, where she received medical aid. She was not an operation a few weeks ago 1t is feared that the jar and injuries yesterday may result in a relapse
 The car contained several passengers who were thrown from their seats and badly shaken up. No blame is laid to the flagman at the crossing as bystanders state that he waved his danger flag viz orously at the approach of the car.
 The headlight on the car was shattered and the controller box was completely torn from it's fastenings in the front yes tibule of the car. The front end of the car is all that is damaged.
 The wrecker was called and prepara- tions were made to clear the wrecked car from the track. For several hours, passenges to and from North Highlands were compelled to transfer at the cross ing in order to continue their trip.

TWO BOYS CONFESS
 ID SAKS ROBBERY
Captured in Nashville By GOldstein-SOld Goods
 In Decatur

Detective Harry Goldstein arrived in the city yesterday morning at 3:45 o'clock with Jack Plaza, aged IS, and Edgar Smith, aged 16 years, the young lads who have confessed that last Fri day night they burgalized the store of Louis Saks at First avenue and Nine- teenth street. The boys were captured in Nashville Monday and part of the goods were recovered.
 In starting back: the boys told De- tective Goldstein that the rest of the stolen goods were in Decatur, and he stopped there and recovered them. Detective Goldstein tells an amusing story at his own expense of the eXperi- ence he had in recovering the goods in Decatur.
 He stated that the man to whom the boys had sold the goods could not be found by himself and Officers White and Thompson of Decatur, and they set out for his home in Decatur. The man who purchased the goods Is William Hunter, manager of the Indiana oil company at Decatur. When they | reached his house they found it dark. and having but a short time in which
 to make a train, they broke into the
 mans house and got the goods.
 After "burglarizing'' MT. Hunters house, they were at the depot waiting for the train for Birmingham when Mr. Hunter and a man named Barr came running down with double bar | relied shotguns and demanded them to nntA tai, in formed MT. Hunter that he was an of ficer and also took him to task for buying stolen property.
 The boys stated that they had sold Hunter two gentIemen's toilet sets, 12 shirts, 12 pair of silk hose, one brown suit and several ties and handkerchiefs for s4. After paying them for the goods, they allege that the man took $3 of the money away from them and refused to give them back their goods, claiming that they were stolen. They state that this transaction took place Saturday. They said that Hunter told them that he was going to write Saks of the recovery of the goods and turn them over to him.
 The boys recite vivid tale of how they planned to burglarize the store. The Plaza boy states that his father Is road manager for the Peaslee- GauI- bert Paint company of Louisville, and the Smith boy states that his father is a carpenter of East St. Louis, III. Their parents will be notified of their predica- ment and it Is supposed will take steps to defend them.

HEAVY BUYING OF
 SOUTHERN IRON Weeks Sales Estimated At
 About 100000 Tons PRICE ON NO. 2 IS $10
Believed Prices Will Advance 50 Cents If Buying Movement Con- tinues-Heavy Shipments From
 This District Expected

The iron market which had been extremely dull for year or more has at last become very active.
 Marked improvement began to show itself about two weeks ago and this week there has been a heavy buying movement of southern iron. The Iron Trade Reviews daily bulletin of No- Vember 27 said that according to con servatiye estimates the volume of southern iron sold the past week had reached between 175,000 and 00D tons The United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company has taken abou. 35,O00 tons of foundry iron; the Inter- national Harvester company, 15,OO0 to 2000O. and the American Steel Foun- dries is believed to have been a heavy buyer of basic.
 As will be seen in another column of The Age Herald. The Iron Age says. "A buying movement in pig iron far more vigorous and extensive than has been seen in recent years is in full swing in all sections of the country"
 The Birmingham price is $10 on a No. basis, but it Is seen in the trade papers that the s10 quotation was shaded. 1t was asserted in local iron circles yesterday that iron was now being held firmly at $10, and that with continuance of the buying movement the price would advance at least 90 cents in the very near future.
 The fact that consumers have come into the market briskly is most cheer ing news in the Birmingham district. As business generally feels some de- gree of depression when the iron mar Set Is at rock bottom and nothing do- ing" so it is naturally made buoyant when furnace companies are rushed with inquiries from eager consumers.
 Shipments of iron from the district will be heavy from now until spring.

HUSTLERS MAY TURN
 ON THEIR LIGHTS
Decide Whether To Wait or Whether To Light Block of White
 Way Now

An individual call will be made to the members of the Third Avenue Hustlers to hold meeting to decide the question of turning on the electric current in the Great White Way posts installed by them between Twentieth and Nineteenth streets or waiting until the posts through to Seventeenth street are ready for the lighting. Tho time and place will be announced later
 The White Way posts contracted for by the Hustlers are practically erect ed and ready for the pushing of the button to make them fulfill their pur- pose of lighting a block of Third av"- nue. The matter of lighting their posts now, which extend across the corners Of Twentieth and Nineteenth streets or delaying until the boosters of low .r Third avenue have their lights com pleted, rests entirely with the Hustler s as their contract was signed a short time before the Boosters organized for the installation of the posts below Nineteenth street. The decision will be made by a majority vote at meet ing of the merchants composing the membership of the Hustlers
 The present archs or streamers that Illuminate Third avenue will be re- moved and the lighting of the Greet White Way will mean an annual saw ing of over 5000. an economical point advanced by some of the Hustlers as an argument for the immediate turning on of the Great White Way. The posts already up number 20 and will be in readiness for the electricity tomorrow or Saturday evening.
 The called session will not be held until the merchants have closed their personal contracts for cost of the light ing for the next 15 months. which is expected to be finished tomorrow morn- ing.
