WORK STARTED ON
 T|DEWATER LINE
GROUND BROKEN NEAR COREY UNDER SUPERVISION OF EN- GINEERS REPRESENTING NEW YORK CONTRACTING FIRM

Official announcement was made last night by P. s. Briggs of Philadelphia, representing Morris & Co.,. who are financing the Tidewater railroad. that actual work of construction on the in- terurban line began yesterday morn ing between Ensley and Bessemer.
 The work was started under super vision of engineers representing Me- Arthur Brothers of New York. the con tracing firm, which is to build the line from East Lake to Ressemer.
 On account of the long drawn out fight for the Tidewater franchise and the trouble that line is said to have passed through since the inception of the project, the beginning of the work is of wide interest in Birmingham.
 No ceremonies were part of the beginning of this work as the start was only witnessed by few officials of the line and visitors from New Yorl. and elsewhere.
 1t is stated that the beginning of the work at East Lake. the eastern term mus. will take place at very sh ort time.
 The representatives of Morris & Co.,, and McArthur Brothers, who have been here for the past few days, will retcrn to their headquarters in the next day or two.

Local Passenger Men Bid Farewell to Popular Illinois Gen.
 tral Man

At the Morris hotel tonight the pas senger officials of the railroads of Bir- mingham will join in paying Fred D. Miller of the Illinois Central railroad a unique tribute of their esteem. For the first time in the memory of the oldest railroad men here banquet will be given to one who has been promoted and leaves to assume duties higher up the scale.
 The banquet to MT. Miller is occa- = stoned by reason of the fact that he leaves tomorrow for St. Louis, where he becomes division passenger agent.

LANES ELIGIBILITY TO
 COMMISSION QUESTIONED
Judge Lane Says He Is Investigating Subject and Will Prob ably Be Able to Give His Opinion By Tonght-New
 Feature Might Cause Endless Complications

Prominent lawyers are pointing to a new complication which has arisen in the Birmingham commission matter It appears that large number of them believe that Judge A. o. Lane is in- eligible to serve on the commission, being barred by section 150 of the Ala bama constitution, which reads as fol- lows:
 "The justices of the supreme court, chancellors, and the judges of the cir cult courts and other courts of record, except probate courts, shall, at stated times, receive for their services a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their official terms they shall receive no fees or per- quisites, nor hold any other office, ex- cept judicial offices, of profit or trust under this state or the United States or any other government. during the time for which they have been elected or appointed"
 1t Is pointed out that the last part of this section would be the bar to Judge Lane's assuming another office as he has only recently begun serving new term of six years on the circuit bench.
 Several of the best informed lawyers did not hesitate to say that the Ian guage was so clear that Judge Lane could not possibly accept. Others think there Is certainly room for doubt, while still others say they have not given the matter sufficient thought to ex- press an opinion.

WILL
 MAKE TRIP TODAY
Urge Appointment of Three
 Agreed Upon
SEE O'NEAL AT NOON
Two Special Cars Will Be Attached to l.. & N. Train in Order to Accommodate the Crowd
 Which Is Going

delegation of about 100 prominent ct- izens of Birmingham will leave this morning for Montgomery in order to inn press on Governor O'Neal the general desire of the people of this city that he name the three commissioners originally agreed upon-Exum, Lane and Jones.
 The delegation has an engagement with the governor at noon today and will be received by the chief executive in his of fees at the capitol.
 While before the governor 1t is probable that the delegation will go fully into the charges of the city auditor which have been the political topic of the past four days. It Is said the governor will be ad- vised that the real purpose of the affair was to excite the public and prevent the carrying out of the commission idea for Birmingham.
 Just what will be the result of the trip is not known. However, those who are enthusiastic over the proposed trip hope to secure the appointment of the three prospective commissioners before they leave the governor.
 In addition to this delegation it is an- tcipated that a counter one will visit Montgomery and lay before the governor objections to the three recommended by the delegation. It is understood that a number of the well-known opponents to the prospective commissioners are al- ready in Montgomery.
 Among those who will make the trip, leaving the Louisville and Nashville station this morning at $40 o'clock, are:
 w. P. Pinckard. T. D. Kirkpatrick, w. H. Kettig, Otto Marx, John E. Nor Rosenthil, R. P. McDaniel. w. B. Leedy, A. Latady, Leo K. Steiner, E. H. Cab aniss, J. H. White, Murray Brown, w. M. Byrd. w.

DIR. w. M. GLASGOW
 HERE FOR RED CROSS
We'll Known Physician Is Here to Join the United States Mine
 Rescue Car

Dr. w. M. Glasgow of Birmingham who was accorded the distinction of be- ing chosen to take charge of the first American Red Cross first-aid car, was in Birmingham yesterday. He has been with his car all over the eastern and western states since his appointment b the position was made in this city sev- eral months ago by officials of the Red Cross.
 pr. Glasgow is engaged in visiting the terminals of great railroads and the fac tories of large cities, telling the enl- ployes how to escape injury and prevent accidents, stressng the point that pre- vention is the surest way to eliminate distress among all working classes.
 Dr. Glasgow will be in the city for sev- eral days. joining his car in Kansas City within 10 days. He was instructed to come to Birmingham and join the United States mine rescue car in this district and lend his aid in spreading the knowledge about proper methods of preventing accidents and getting the quickest relief in the event accidents occur.
 pr. Glasgow. since leaving Birmingham, has travelled all over the eastern states and out west. He came from Kansas City direct to Birmingham. He said yes- terday the work was splendid and he was very much pleased with what lad been done so far.
 Dr. Glasgow practiced medicine in this city for several years prior to his ac- ceptance of this position and was recom- mended by the physicians of the dis trict. He is very popular. not alone among the doctors. but in all circles.

section to be ineligible 1t will add an unexpected complication to the situa- ton and there is already a great deal named in his place.
 Judge Lanes Opinion
 Judge Lane last night when asked for his opinion on this new feature, said:
 Tt has been stated that I was called to Montgomery to consult with Governor O'Neal regarding section 15O of the con- sttution. This is mistake as that was not mentioned at our conference. I was called into consultation simply to discuss the constitutionality of the general com mission bill, with especial reference to the recall and referendum features.
 To-day, however, I received notice that the question of my eligibility under sec ton 150 Of the constitution had been raised. I am now Investigating this and will probably reach conclusion Wednes- oay, so that l can announce it by Wednesday night. No careful lawyer, of course, will venture nasty opinion on a constitutional question. As an off-hand opinion, however I would say that this provision does not cover municipal of ficers. But I have to look up the de- cisions on the matter and it will be to- morro~ before I can announce any con- clusion.
 q think the recall and referendum fea- lures of the commission bill will be so worded that they will not endanger the rest of the bill, even if the supreme court should hold these clauses invalid"

COUNCIL MAY TAKE IMPORTANT
 ACTION AT TONIGHT'S MEETING

A meeting of the City Council of Bir- mingham will be held tonight in the city hall. Inasmuch as the commission discussion has topped city government matters for several days, the council meeting Is charged with more than passing interest.
 It was stated yesterday that as long as the aldermen were in office they would meet and the report that the meeting would not be attended was discredited.
 There are several important mat ters which will be considered at the meeting tonight. During the day the various committees will meet and draft their reports to be made tonight. While 1t is impossible at this time to fore cast what will take place at the meet ing, rumors have it that a resolution

 In addition to such a move it is said there will be other features rendering this meeting among the most interest ing that has taken place in some time.
 The meeting tonight will probably be among the last to be held by she city fathers. After the meeting it is said there is only one more to be held this month, after which time it is stated the commission bill will be in effect and the commissioners will elect to operate the city affairs.
