SURVEY ROUTE RED !. BAY-DECATUR ROAD Men and Religion Forward Movement To Permanent
 ly Organize

Decatur, September 3O-(Special.) )-The new line of railroad which it is planned to build from Red bay in Franklin eoun- ty to Decatur. a distance of 27 miles, nas just been surveyed from Red Bay to Moulton, in Lawrence county. and the surveyors are coming on to Decatur. The survey will be something like 125 miles, At present this new road is called the Tombigbee and Tennessee River railroad The road is being promoted by Maj. J. A. Racket and Capt. w. H. Norris.
 Starting at Red Bay the road runs through Redwood in Franklin county, passing about four miles south of Rus sellvile, the county seat of Franklin county, and thence goes on south of Macedonia mountain and north of the cross roads at Mount Hope, on through the Blaylocls plantation, north of the Hall plantation, cross Town creek at Me Carvers bridge, passes a short distance south of Landersville, thence into Moul- ton.
 The building of this road would connect two of the most important rivers in the state, the Tennessee and the Tombisbee. In the country between lies mineral, tim Der and agricultural wealth. Much of the right of way for this road has already been secured. At Red Bay arrangements will be made to connect with the Illinois Central and thus give an outlet to all parts of the country.
 The committee appointed in the Men and Religion Forward movement last Sunday, at a meeting held in New De- catur, has been working all week and an nounce that they will effect permanent organization on next Monday evening at the Young Mems Christian association building in New Decatur At the meeting Monday membership committee of 100 will likely be formed.

SAY MADISON SCHOOL
NEEDS NEW BUILDING
PATRONS MEET AND ARE uNANt-
NOUS AS TO DEFECTS or
STRUCTURE
STRUCTURE.

~'sh; reasons why Madison public
snreo at Madison ard Cary streets,
should have a new building were seq
forth by Superintendent Chandler at
a meeting OF the patrons of this school.
He pointed out that. owing to lack OF
room. nearly 90 ner cent. OF the pupils
attend school only one-half or two
thirds time. while hundred others, in
Guiding kindergarten pupils, are pro-
vided for in very inadequate and I'M
sanitary outside rented rooms.
DR. Chandler commented particularly
on the general uufitness OF the main
building. which Is old and of cheap
construction. unsuited to school pur-
poses, with darkrooIns and general
lack of modern appliances.
Other speakers were w, G. Jones.
Henry S. wallerstein. J. Pryor Davis
and Rev. ]. b. Splers, VINO were equally
as urgent In their demand. for better
school facilities. Several of the speak
ers emphasized the fact that there was
no fire escape on the building.
1t was announced that the patrons
would hold another meeting on the
night of January Is.

ALL GAMBLING
| JOINTS CLOSED
NoRFoLk'S CAMPAIGN AGAINST
THE "FRATERNTTYe HAVING
DESIRED EFFECT.

Especial to The Richmond Nirginian.)
NORFOLK. VA. Jan. 6.--A real cru
SADIE against gambling is an in Norfolk,
and az a result the resorts OF the fra :
ternity" have been closed. For the
time being. everything Is as tight as
WAX. and If the mayor the board of
control and the chief of police carry
out their expressed determination this
condition of affairs will continue as
long as they are in office.
Following the order OF Major Kizer
To the officers Of the department sew
eral days ago TO raid all gambling
places and arrest those found playing
together with the proprietors, and the
announcement of Mayor Riddick that
he would give the chief his heartiest
support in having this order carried
cut, Common Councilman East had
passed in the Council an ordinance pro-
hibiting gambling I'm any form, whether
In private or public place, and If the
ordinance is adopted by the Board Of
Aldermen II is certain to receive the
approval OF the mayor and become
law.
The contention by many lawyers
here. that the present gambling laws
are inadequate and that il is almost
impossible TO secure convictions under
them, was responsible for the ordi-
nance that was presented by Council
man East for Mayor RiddiCk. This
ordinance was turned down by the or
dinance committee on the ground that
II was too drastic and would give po-
ieemen authority TO raid private
homes where cards are played. In
spite of the committees action, Mr.
East secured its passage on the floor
of the Council
The situation here, though, regarding
the State law on gambling is peculiar
one. With Commemorative Attorney
Tilton, former Police Justice Simmons,
members OF the Board Of Control and
Ma jor Kizer declaring that the present
iaw is not adequate and that q more
drastic and definite ordinance is neces-
sary to suppress the vice in Norfolk.
Police Justice Duncan maintains thar
the present law is adequate and that il
is only necessary to haze the proper
testimony to secure a conviction.
Regarding the ordinance now pend
ing ajor KiZer said the contention
that IL will give policemen authority
to invade the sanctify of mans homo
to raid "A card game is all tommy rot"
and that no man with tcaspoouful OF
brains would think OF going into a
mans private home to see If glambling
was going on there.
The ordinance adopted by the Com.
sYiofl C0uricii pronihits gambling in a
public or private place, without regard
10 the amount at stake, and Ii i'm
poses a fin. and Jail sentence as Fl PEN
atty IL is similar TO the ordinances
now in operation in Petersburg ana
Newport News.

TO FORCE ACTION
ON PINCHOT REPORT

WASHINGTON. January AN
alliance between the house Democrats
and the insurgents to force action on
the various reports of the Ballinger-
Pinchot investigating committee. be-
came apparent to-day, when Repre-
sentative Hitchcock DEMOCRACY. OF
Nebraska. requested the rules COM
mittee TO grant him hearing ON
| hls special sttfe- for the C0Hstdera-
ton of the case.
Mr.. Hitchcocks rule provides that
on the last Tuesday in January the
Baiiinger- Pinchot reports shall be
automatically before the house with
five hours allotted for debate, half to
the supporters of the majority report
AMI half to the opposition. He said
to-day he felt confident he would be
able to persuade the committee to
adopt the rule.
Hitchcock. Representative Norris.
the insurgent leader and Represent
tative Madison. the fnsurgent repre-
committee, have held several con-
fereness. and 1t is generally UNDER
stood an agreement has been reach
ed whereby the insurgnt will sup.
port tn rul. In rturn for this the
Democrats are expected to vote for
the Madison majority report il the
Democratic minority report fails To
pass.
Such a combination would prac-
tiealiy assure the adoption OF report
ceisuring Secretary Baliinger. The
insurgents are inclined 10 leave the
conduct OF the whole matter TO Madi-
son and to follow his lead when IL
comes to a vote.
