HIGH OFFICIALS DISCUSS
 FREIGHT RATE DECISION

Chicago, February 24.-The interest in the commerce commissions decision against the freight rates was designedly a negative proposition--one which would show it's effect in a way that would not be apparent to the general publicity President Nudge of the Rock Island sys- tenn.
 we simply will have to go through our systems again and hold down to stricter economy said MT Nudge Ut will be an insidious trimming down, not appar- ent to the general observer. don't think there will be a disposition to allow the condition of the properties to go back ward. so the economy will have to come from operation.
 While this decision won't affect busi- ness, that can see, yet curtalment in purchases may force a shade off steel, lumber and iron prices.'
 Philadelphia, February 24-4George F. Baer, president of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway company, and head of the Central Railroad Company of New Jersey, in a statement given out today expressed great surprise at the decision of the interstate commerce commission. He says there will be a curtailment of railroad expenditures and states if the result shall be to bring about general reduction in wages and cut in purchas- ing new material and supplies in the end the railroads will suffer no more than the general publc.'
 How far1the necessary curtailment of railroad expenditures which must result for the time being will affect the gen eral business of the country. I cannot foretell.
 4 Tt is probably the railroads have been extravagant in their expenditures They could possibly have limited the cost of terminals; but every city in the land was demanding of the railroads that their ter mnal facilities should not alone be ade- quate to meet terminal problems. but should be of character ornamental and attractive."

AS PLACE FOR 1912
 MEETING OF NATIONAL EDU-
 CATIONAL ASSOCIATION-THE PROGRAMME IS INTERESTING

Mobile, February 24-The fourth ses- sion of the convention of the department of superintendence, National Educational association, held this morning. was char acterized by a sharp debate over a com mittee report on suggested grammatical and pathological changes of radical char acter, lengthy discussion over the place for holding the 1912 convention, and three notable addresses on Our Educational Advance and Improvement Over the Past" in application to the city, state and nation.

Becht, Clarion Normal col lege, Pennsylvania; Henry Suzzetto, Co., umbia university, New York, and Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, president of the Ma tional association. Present methods of pronunciation were attacked by one con tingent and upheld by another when the CoiHiiillete OH ecoHOlily or time In euuCd- tion made its report, and the result was an acrimonious discussion which was heated at times.
 There was little opposition to the selec- tion of St. Louis for holding the 1912 con vention, the delegates seeming to be rather partial as a whole to the Missouri city. N fg
 Problems of economic school administra- ton were discussed this afternoon. ''The Unity of Ideals and Purposes In the Teaching Profession was discussed at meeting of superintendents representing the smaller cities at the Harte auditorium. There were a number of meetings of state delegates during the day one, that of Kentucky superintendents, being attended by 25 representative educators of that state.

 Not Protect Her

Gadsden, February -(special)-The jury in the case of Mrs. Crosby against the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad returned It's verdict this morn- ing. The finding was for the plaintiff and the damages were fixed at S7000. Mrs. Crosby brought suit against the company for S20,000, because officers at Albertville, while she was In the depot of the com pany, took her in hand and searched her for stolen property without a warrant.
 She appealed to the companys agent for protection and this was refused, al- though she had purchased a ticket and was waiting for the coming of train. The case will be appealed to the supreme court.
 The city attorney, Woodson J. Martin. has rendered opinion to the effect that another election for the purpose of au- thorizing a bond issue at this time for use in completing and extending the wa ter system would be illegal. It is there fore. unlikely that such an election will be called and that the city will make a temporary loan of the funds needed for the completion of the plant and defer any further extension until the
 
 tion can he held. The amount needed is something like s15oOO and this can be readily secured through a loan from the local banks.

 Mayor Culpepper Exum, after fight ing for the commission bill, viaduct measure and other enactments of di- rect interest to Birmingham, came back last night. Mayor Exum has been in Montgomery since last Tuesday work ing perhaps harder for Birmingham there than any man attending upon the legislature. He did not have any thing special to say last night, but seemed satisfied with all things. Bir- minghams interests in particular.
 James O. Smith, assistant city attor- ney, who has been protecting the interest of Birmingham as to the repeal of law invalidating the sharing by the city governments of the bridge and road tax, returned last night. He said it seemed at this time as If that measure would be killed. He said the recent payment in Birmingham to the city of its share of that tax created a good impression among the lawmakers, who believed the measure was equitable and should stand in its present form.
 Mir. Smith said the unexpected may happen and the bill be repealed, but that indications did not point that way now.
 Alderman George Huddleston, who is fighting the viaduct matter, returned 70 Birmingham last night. He is one of the members of the City Council. It is said MT. Huddleston is opposed to some of the regulations or features of the commis- sion bill and has been working along that line since being In Montgomery. } Frank H.

attorney and a city treasurer for two years and set their salaries for two years.
 About a year after the minutes which showed the above two transactions cor rectly, were erased and changed so as to make 1t appear that the salaries had been set for one year only.
 'The said three salaries were subse- quently, after the elapse of one year, in- creased s4600 in the aggregate.
 This s4600 does justly belong to the city of Birmingham. as the law govern ing increases or decreases during the term official is elected for has been tested repeatedly and defense in this case would be entirely useless.
 The changing of the minutes is a diff ferent matter.
 Minute book M, pages 57s and 579 will substantiate the above mentioned facts. Yours very respectfully,
 ''C. S. PETERSEN,
 "City Auditor"
 ''I am yet without an answer to this letter.
 MT. Exum informed me in one of our interviews that he would as soon have a private clerk to disclose the financial standing of his personal bus mess as to have city auditor that would say that the city was bankrupt ignoring the fact that before he be- came mayor of Birmingham out of con- sideration for his coming administra- tions. I advised him that the city was approaching a financial crisis and that the only way to avert 1t was by i'm mediately calling a halt and prepar- ing a budget for the then remaining part of the fiscal year. This the law required to have been done at the be- ginning of the fiscal year of which fact l notified Hon. Harry Jones, who was then acting mayor of Birmingham, who informed me that he didn't see how it could be done, but that he would take 1t up with the new finance com mittee when it was appointed Had these gentlemen acted according to law and carried. out my respectful sug- gestion, the immense deficit in the cur rent fiscal year. which ends June 30. 1911. would have been averted This deficit will approximate $400,000.
 After MT. Exum became mayor, when I made clear to him through a statement how the city stood finan- cially, he forbade me to give any in- formation thereof to the newspapers and even to a member of the City Council. Several members called on me for such information and in order to avert charges of insubordination I had to inform them that I had been en- joined by the mayor not to give such information. Some two months later this order as pertaining to aldermen was rescinded after the finance com mittee had ordered me to prepare A budget. and it is a fact that when said budget was adopted by the City Coun- ell many substantial reductions were made.
