GREAT INTEREST EVINCED IN
 THE PEOPLES BANK TRANSFER

hours today There all depositors will find their accounts, their money and polite officials to tell them what methods will be pursued in changing over the &C., counts.
 w. L. Lyman. William Latham and Henry Chisholm, officers of the Peoples bank, will be at the American Trust this morning. They will exert every energy to transfer the accounts rapidly for the large number of depositors who are ex- pected to throng the American bank rooms.
 The financial transaction involves the absorption of one of the oldest banks in Birmingham. It is expected that MT. Gray's organization. those with him in the Peoples bank for many years, will be taken care of by the American Trust. but no announcements have been made yer along his line.
 The future plans of Mr. Gray are said to consist chiefly of rest and travel, of the latter of which he is very fond. However, 1t is stated he will be in Birmingham most of the time and will doubtless as- sume an active part in business affairs of this city.

UNCERTAIN BOY ID
 GO ID MONTGOMERY
Dog Which Attacked Boy Was Affected With
 Rabies

Charles, the little son of MT. and Mrs c. H. Ungerman of 1916 South Nine- teenth street who was bitten by a dog affected with rabies on Saturday. will be taken to Montgomery by his father tomorrow morning for treatment at the Pasteur institute.
 The father of the little boy took the head of the dog to the Pasteur institute last Saturday and 1t was found to be affected with fully developed case of rabies. MT. Ungerman returned home yesterday after making arrangements to take his little son to Montgomery tomorrow.
 The little fellow, who Is only four years old, was playing in front of his home with several other small children Saturday when dog came along and attacked him. He was thrown to the ground by the dog and bitten on the cheek, but other injury was prevented by the timely assistance of his little playmates who beat the infuriated beast off with sticks.
 The little fellow was said yesterday to be in the same condition apparently as ever, and his parents are confident that he will be all right after having taken the 21 days treatment at the Pasteur institute. MT. Ungerman stated last night that he was informed in Montgomery that out of $40 cases treated at the Pasteur institute only one had proven fatal. Twelve persons are taking the treatment at present. two of whom were brought there Sat urday.

CARNEGIE'S HAND
 LACKS SENTIMENT

London, May 7.-(Special)-An impress sion and delineation of Andrew Carnegies s right hands has been made in London by c. Walker Child. These are his com ments:
 This hand is characterized by it's un- usual smallness, the vey picture develop ment of finger tips, the strong, firm thumb and the fact that the fingers are of the same length as the palm. The im- pression produced is one of proportion and exactness. There is little idealism indi- cated. and none of the excesses to which many successful business men are prons. Everything is viewed from the practi- cal standpoint.
 '.The center line crossing the hand Is long and clear and slightly separated from the line encircling the thumb, thus showing strong intellectual faculties. The fingers are placed evenly, the first being short and bent, the fourth long and point ed. The formr indicates an absence of side the latter, shrewdness, industry and intuition. The thumb Is heavy for the size of the hand and shows a masterfui will, good reasoning powers, and com bined with the strong fourth finger, abil- ity to control and influence others.
 'In word, this hand shows the practi- cal man devoid of sentiment

FIREMAN POUNDS
 HURT IN COLLISION
Automobile Ran Into Motor cycle on Highland
 Avenue

Fireman Richard Pounds of Station No. 8, Leonard street and Eleventh ave- nue, was painfully cut and bruised yes- terday morning about 11:3O o'clock when his motorcycle collided with the automobile of Judge c. r. Camp of the inferior court of Ensley at Highland avenue and Twentieth street.
 For while Fireman Pounds was rem dered unconscious by the violent im- pact and it seemed that his injuries were dangerous but it was found later at St. Vincent's hospital where he was removed in Shaw's ambulance by the direction og Judge Camp that he had been stunned, but not fatally hurt His ear had been badly torn, his head se- verely gashed and his left arm bruised.
 Judge Camp stated that MT. Pounds was on the left side of the street when the collision occurred. He said: "I had just left the home of Border Burr and was coming down Highland ave- nue. l was on the right side of the saw the fireman on his motorcycle luIiilHB iue coTlleT' OI lWeHIleIn street. He was riding close to the curb and so was I, but he was fumbling with some thing underneath the seat of his ma chine and think did not see me.
 T saw that a collision was imminent and swung my automobile to the right and away from the curb, and about this time the fireman looked up and turned to the left, but 1t was too late and the collision could not be avoided. The fire man was badly bruised and otherwise hurt and I had an ambulance called to remove him to St. Vincents hospital. I then rode down to the station where he worked and told the captain of the accident"
 The motorcycle which Foreman Pounds was riding was damaged, but the automobile suffered only broken running board. The associates of the fireman at No. 8 station say that the accident was unavoidable. It was re- ported at St. Vincents last night that the condition of the injured fireman was very favorable

'S|X INSURGENTS GO ID PENSACOLA Others Will Probably Follow
 This Week PARTY IS SCATTERED Various Legislators Are Now in Five Different States-No
 Definite Idea of Return
 ing As Yet

Six members of the insurgent party from Tennessee left yesterday for Pen sacola, making in all seven of the leg islators in the Florida city. Repre- sentative Jesse Groner went to Pen sacola several days ago on account of his health.
 It is probable that still others of the fusionists will take trip to Pen sacola during this week. though there will be yet a few left in Birmingham, who prefer the haunts of the Magic City to all the charm of sea breezes and glittering strands.
 The original party of quorum break CTS has become scattered over the face of the earth. At present their num- Der covers territory of six states. There are 19 in Alabama, seven in Flor ida, two in Mississippi two in Ark ansas, two In Kentucky, and two sick at home in Tennessee.
 Several Of the legislators who were seen yesterday evening stated that they have no idea whatsoever as to when they will return. It has been fre- quently reported that they were to go back to their state after Tuesday when the general election board has made the appointments of the county cleo tion commissioners insuring them against machine methods in the next election and giving them control of their party.
 It seems that their main idea in stay ing away is, at present. to avoid any unnecessary trouble. Members of tho party stated last evening that they were certain of their ground as mat ters now stand, but they were not sure what might happen if they returned. They are all confident that they can not be compelled to attend the sessions of the legislature should they go back home, but it seems to be their inten- ment which will positively assure them that their fight has been won.
 The insurgent members who went to Pensacola yesterday were A. l.. Gar rison, J. II. Stout, Frank Parrott, Brice Longmire, Joe Odel, and J. Q. McDon- city. Representatives c. P. Hoover and J. P. Sipes are both at Corinth, Miss. Representatives P. w. Lanier and John s. Cooper are respectively at Osceola, and Benton, Ark, while Representative w. R. Couch and T. N. Clement are in Massey and A. A. Lipscomb are in Tennessee. The last two men are both i'll at their homes.

Rumored That Re-Employment of
 Large Track Forces Is : Contemplated

For the purpose of holding confeer- ence with executive officials of the Frisco line. A. D. Lightner gneral agent of thas company, left here yesterday for St. Louis. MT. Lightner said the conference was nothing outside of the routine ana that he would not be absent from Bir- mingham very long.

WE SMILE OUT IN
 SAN FRANCISCO"

New York, May 7.-(Special.)-" have have found just two girls in them that would give me smile,' said Miss Mau- rine Rasmussen of San Francisco. discus sing her impressions of New York.
 "A Pacific coast girl,' she continued, when she walks or drives, looks around around at everything, and if she sees anything funny she smiles.'
 Miss Rasmussen, selcted by Harrison Fisher from thousands of applicants as the new American type of beauty, has been in New York for two weeks. She has voiced the praise of the grandeur of the Sirras and the beauty of Border beyond those stately sentinels.
 "I think New York women are beauti- ful." she said. But why don't their faces wake up once in while?
 When you see them in carriages or walking on Fifth avenue or behind the counter in department store. they all look as if they take pose in the morn- ing and never move muscle till they go to bed at night There's no use looking like a plaster cast when you are human being, I think.
 "Once I was waiting for change and said to the girl who had waited on me, Its fine day, isn't it?' She looked over the top of my head and never answered. Now, in San Francisco she would have said Yes, isn't it, and maybe asked me where I came from and how long I ex- pected to stay.
 Maybe you think I'm a knocker, but don't mean to be- added the new beauty anxiously.
