SPEAKS GOOD WORD
 FOR BIRMINGHAM
WalmsIey Tells Why It Was Selected as Headquarters for
 Woodmen

Birmingham was selected as the na- tional headquarters of the Southern Woodmen because the incorporators of the order regarded this city as the most progressive one in the south," remarked A. B. Walmsley, the general publicity representative of the organization yester- day.
 'f1 know" laughed MT. Walmsley, some other cities in the south will get up on their hind legs and howl at this state ment, but it Is as trus as the statement made me by a prominent New York magnate not long ago that in time this Alabama city would far outdistance it's god mother of the same name in England.
 T wish I could size up Birmingham with an unbiased perspective, but I just can not, because she has responded so loyally and readily to the call of our fra ternity, including in our membership some of her best citizens. We are install ing here what will be one of if not the largest households, as we call our lodges in the country, and so soon as it reached the thousand mark, which it is nearing, we are going to build home
 q don't find much hot air in Birming- ham, but a brand of get there that savours of the big city blown by the great lakes, 'Chicago'"

VIADUCT HEARING
 COMING NEXT WEEK
Either Monday or Wednesday Will Be Chosen By the
 Attorneys

Judge A. O. Lane, with whom the rail- roads are negotiating for hearing on the viaduct proposition, announced yes terday afternoon that the meeting would be held either Monday or Wednesday next. He said the attorneys for the vari- ous companies were trying to get a definite date fixed for the various execu- tives and he had previously advised the attorneys that either day would be agree able to him.
 The chances are that the session on viaducts will be held Monday. It is planned to have the commission as a body listen to the arguments of the varI- ous executives and those who are op- posed to the agreement.
 The railroads desire that the previously ratified agreement with the council be sustained by the commissioners. It is stated that line will be pursued by the attorney and railroad executives.
 The attorneys representing property owners owning real estate near the af- fected territory will be present and will present reasons why the agreement should not be ratified. It is problematical what the outcome will be of the proposal However, it Is stated that Judge Lane will announce an unwillingness to ratify the previous proposal.

That the "way of the transgressor is hard" but not harder than the duty Of adjudging guilty ones. was clearly dem onstrated yesterday afternoon in the first division of the criminal court, when Judge Samuel L. Weaver was engaged in imposing sentences on prisoners who had been convicted.
 First one and then another came before the judge with a pitifu1 plea for elem ency, and though the court was not in- clined to either extreme of mildness or severity Judge Weaver was forced to ex- plain that the law in it's process Is im- personal The last man who received his sentence was A. H. Templeton, with sev- eral aliases. His punishment was fixed at 10 years in the penitentiary, but the sentence was suspended pending an ap- peal
 Judge Weaver stepped down from the judges bench wiping the precipitation from his forehead and said to an at tendant in the court rooms t"You may think judge has an easy time, but it's a hard thing to dole out punishment for your fellow man.
 It was no doubt the case of Templeton that forced the opinion from Judge Wea- yer. Templeton, who went under several aliases, was convicted of forgery against the American Trust and Savings bank. He had entered plea of not guilty, but

.FORTY-S|X MILES OF DOUBLE TRACKS Ensley Will Furnish Rails for Southern Con-
 pany's Work

The Southern Railway company an- nounces the immediate beginning of 46 miles of double tracks between Atlanta and Gainesville, Ga., in the general schme to double track the Southern from Bir- mingham, it's southern terminus, to Wash ington. The announcement was author ized by President w. w. Finley of the Southern Railway company and it was ad- ded that an immense amount of steel rails to be purchased at Ensley would form a portion of the expense attached to the double track work.
 The Southern railway is piece by piece double tracking the line to Washington, and it is confidently expected that as con- ditions continue to improve the Southern will begin the construction of the double tracks between this city and Atlanta.
 The work announced yesterday will be distributed in 15-mile, 17-mile and f1ve-mile strips, while double track gauntlets will be constructed to become equivalent to the double track.
 The immediate effect of the double track will be the greater facilitation of train movements and the easy handling of such increases of traffic as may de- velop.
 The cost of the new work will exceed 5, ,OO0, 900.

 Sunday Train TOWNS ASK FOR TT Commissioner McCord Explains Ad- vantages of Having the Present
 Service Extended to In-
 clude Sunday

The state railroad commission is mak- ing efforts to get Sunday passenger train between Gadsden and Guntersville on the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad and they believe they will be successful. At the present time the round trip is made only on work days and all that is asked Is that the same train make the Sunday trip on the reg ular week day schedule.
 q believe our people up there deserve Sunday service,'' said Commissioner Mc- Cord last night. "The daily service is sat- isfactory because we now have it ar- ranged so that the travelling public can go up to Boaz. Albertville or Gunters- vile and make the return trip the same day. A man can leave Birmingham and visit Guntersville and get back the same day What we want Is to have the same facilities on Sunday that we have week days.
 People up there are greatly interested in the plan and the commission has had petitions In favor of the additional serv- Ice from the Commercial clubs of Gads- den, Boaz, Albertvile and Guntersville." |"

WAY OF THE TRANSGRESSOR

the evidence in the case went adversely, and resulted in conviction for an offense for which the punishment runs from 10 to 20 years in the penitentiary.
 Templeton gave his age as 51 years, and his attorney, J. W. Roach, begged that the leniency of the court be exercised in consideration of this advanced period of life. The prisoner is a man of strik- ing physique though somewhat stopped with age. His physical condition, he claims, has suffered much from his im- prisonment, which shortly followed an operation for appendicitis. He told the court yesterday that a sentence of ten years imprisonment would mean his end.
 The following sentences were imposed by Judge Weaver yesterday afternoon: Thomas Epps, embezzlement, years and 50 days; John Johnson, assault with in tent to murder, 20 years; Paul Brown. burglary and grand larceny, 2 years and 50 days; Frank Walker. burglary and grand larceny, years and 50 days; James Rose, assault with a weapon, 10 days and 50 days costs; John Byrd, burglary and grand larceny, ? years and 50 days; Will Jones, burglary and grand larceny 2 years and 50 days.
 L. P. Champion, charged with violat- ing the prohibition laws, was convicted by the jury In the first division of the criminal court.

GOV. GRAYiRETURNS
 VERY OPTIMISTIC

Henry B. Gray, former lieutenant gov ernor, returned to his home yesterday after spending several days in the east. Governor Gray was in New York when the famous Standard Oil case was decid- ed by the supreme court and watched with interest the upward tendency of the markets the following day.
 He was very optimistic yesterday over conditions and the furface indications for the summer and fall seasons. He said people in the east were far from being than relieved that the Standard oil case had been settled.
 Fundamentally" he said, there has been nothing wrong at all. The quiet conditions were traceable to the uncer- tainty of what the supreme court was tq do in tho two trust cases so called Busi- ness was laggard because of the belief that the court would not lend much en- couragement to large business enterprises in the Standard oil decision.
 When the decision was announced the large interests had anticipated the ad- verse ruling and stocks were handled with gerat ease by the bull interests. The scenes about the exchange were very stormy The truth of the matter was that the interests had entrenched their stocks and protected them manfully.
 ''Everyhing will be all right, am sure. This country is decidedly too rich the prospective cotton crop is too enormous and the railroads are running too well for anyone to seriously contemplate the future without being at once cheerful about it''

 Ala.
 "My Dear MT. Exum-The copy of the act creating a commission form of government under which the city of Birmingham is now organized, was re- ceived this morning with. your card enclosed.
 "I thank you very much for favoring me with this pamphlet, and have read "
 if with great care. It seems to be ideal in its provisions for the proper gov ernment of cities, and ought to place Birmingham in the very forefront of the cities of the country in wise and effective administration. Your city is also fortunate in having you at the head of the commission with the asso- ciate commissioners you have to ,co- operate with you. I only wish Atlanta could have the same good fortune
 We are watching Birmingham's work with great deal of interest, and if such results as we anticipate are brought about I have very little doubt that Atlanta may try something or the same kind So far, what we hear or your work has been most favorabie' and it was pleasure to me, on my visit to Birmingham, to meet you ana to hear the good opinions of your Tel low citizens and their predictions that your administration would be most successful.
 Thanking you for kindly remember ing me in this matter am, Sincerely yours. s. M. LYMAN"

EXUM AND BENNETT TO GO
 ON INSPECTION TRIP SOON

ment That engine was ordered several months ago.
 By the installation of motor-driven trucks, engines and other equipment, 1t Is planned by the officials to reduce the operating expenses of the fire de- partment quite a great deal.
 It is stated the engines to be se- cured are far superior to any now owned by Birmingham, can get to a fire quicker and render more efficient service It Is the general idea of the officials to endeavor to equip the fire department as sanely as possible and render that department second to none In the country.
 President Exum and Chief Bennett will, perhaps, invite some engineering g expert to accompany them on the trip, which will consume about 10 days or two weeks.
