DOUBLE TRACKING
 FOR THE |. & N. Plan to Run in From Nash
 vile to Mobile START THIS SUMMER Prospective Business to Be Devel- Oped From Panama Canal Will Make Double Track All the
 More Important
START THIS SUMMER

That the Louisville and Nashville would announce shortly plans for double tracking the entire main line nouncement here yesterday in local railroad circles. The official announce ment of W. L. Mapother, vice president of the Louisville and Nashville. made some time ago, was to the effect that the line would be double tracked from Nashville to Decatur However, it is said that in less than eight months the work of double tracking at four different points on the line will be- gin.
 The plans will call for an outlay of approximately sS,O0o,000 in addition to the like sum which was announced by MT. Mapother to carry on the work officially stated.
 The double tracking of the Louisville and Nashville railroad is one of the most important railroad advancements in this district and the vital position of that company in this city makes its intentions of wide importance to Bir- mingham.sa Is stated that the com pany Is handling the greatest volume of business in it's history now and that with the opening of the Panama canal the outflow to the canal zone will be so much larger than the present that double tracks will be imperative in the operations.
 The tentative plans, which have been gone over, signify that the work will begin at Calera. Black Creek, Decatur and Nashville about the same time.
 The Louisville and Nashville at this time has double track from Birming- ham to Black Creek on the north. The double track route to Decatur has al! been surveyed and actual work is to start within the coming summer. The company now has double tracks from Birmingham to Calera on the south. Double tracking to Montgomery will be started this summer. The contem- plated plans call for the extension of the double lines from that city to Mo- bile without delay.
 The work of doubling the line to Nashville from Decatur is being rushed forward rapidly.
 On the north of Birmingham, between here and Decatur, the surveyed main line will dodge two or three heavy quired a considerable figure when the new work is completed. Often two loco- motives are required here to get the Louisville and Nashville trains north of Birmingham,

START DOUBLE
 TRACKING SOON
BELIEVED CENTRAL OF GEOR- CHA WORK ON LINE TO COL UMBUS WILL NOT BE DELAY ED ANY LONGER

The previously announced plans of the Central of Georgia to double track that line from this city to Columbus, Ga, will materialize at an early date if the impression in Southern railroad circles is significant The recent changes in the operating forces of that line and the installation of officers with advanced ideas, lead to the con viction that the delayed work of double tracking will start without any further hold up. M
 It is added to the previous report that the Hartman interests budget of $75,- 100000 to double track the western lines of the Hartman empire of rails will affect the Central of Georgia.
 In addition to working between this city and Columbus to improve condi- tions the double tracking will be ex-i tended to Savannah, most likely, and then the Hartman empire out west will have a desirable connection here for any amount of traffic that may be diverted this way. If the Central of Georgia intends to double track from here to Savannah it is said that the Illinois Central roalroad will build it's line from Haleyville to Birmingham and do away with the unsatisfactory lease on the Frisco tracks.
 It Is believed that in following out the idea that the Illinois Central would exact the most careful attention from the Central of Georgia, the work will state at an early date. The recent heavy loan secured by Judge Loyett in New York is said to have carried sufficient to both double track the Central of Georgia to Savannah from here and to build the Illinois Central from Haleyville here.
 When these two great improvements are completed 1t will form link be- tween the west and the Atlanta sea board for the Hartman lines which will be unparalleled in the south. It would be the only line running from the far west to the Atlanta seaboard with per sonally controlled tracks. It is stated that the dream of the late MT. Harri- man to show the south what real railroad was will be carried to com pletion by his representatives here.
 The most eager attention is being paid the Illinois Central and Central of Georgia plans, and 1t Is the con fident opinion that some work of great magnitude is being arranged which will affect Birmingham in many ways. This city Is destined to become the hub of operations between the west and the Atlantic seaboard and it would seem that the Hartman lines are to pull off the improvements
 Judge Robert Lovett, President Mark ham of the two lines. and other officers are to make an inspection of the lines which are to be improved and if the local work is to start soon ii is proba- ble that the officers will pay visit to Birmingham.

He has gotten the addresses of quite number and has visited as many as possible. He has been somewhat hampered in his work on account of sickness in his family, some of the number having been sick nearly all the time since they arrived here in December. ffataHl
 While there are many members in the city who have come to Birmingham from other sections and are not identi- fled with any church, yet there are many churches throughout this part of the state, several of them being in Jeff ferson county It was a source of grati- fication when the last session of the Alabama conference determined to erect a church here. The members have ral- lied to the call and the result is that the organization will take place today. They have had Sunday school in op- eration for some time and the inter- est Is intense
 It is likely that in the afternoon to- day this church will organize Chris tian Endeavor society, thus adding one more to the already large list of new societies organized under the campaign now in progress all over the civilized world. The Alabama conference through It's union has set about to or Eanize a Christian Endeavor society In every church that has not one.

Champion is much pleased at the pro- eress thus far made and hopes that this will be a banner year for this church in the Birmingham district.

Comments On The Work
 Done By Legislature

system, but I think the legislature is on the wronk track. However, I favor any thing rather than our present system
 "The legislature has been too busy with the liquor problem to do anything for Bir- mingham," said Joseph B. Babb yester- day, "but I have every reason to believe that this city's interest will be cared for.
 q am in favor of the commission and think there should be five commissioners. elected by the people There are mining bills, fee bills and various smaller ma&- ters in which am interested. The com mittees of the legislature seem to be do- ing hard work. When the liquor ques- ton is out of the way they will turn up volume of business in short order
 q am pleased with what has been ac- complshed by the legislature for Bir- mingham," said pr. John L. Parker yes terday "So far the lawmakers have treated Birmingham with great consider at.on. and from my trips to Montgomery I do not think there is any serious jeal- ousy on the part of the remainder of the state toward this city.
 Birmingham has so many problems to solve by reason of her tremendous ad- vances that the legislature is well pre- pared to receive frequent calls from this city on legislation. I believe the various measures affecting this city will be set tied strictly upon their merits and not in a Easty, Illogical manner"
 From what I know of the lawmakers I think the attitude of that body toward Birmingham is cordial" said Gen. J. B. Sculy. "The lawmakers look with in- terest upon what Birmingham asks be- cause Birmingham has so many problems to solve. l have no doubt but that the mine bill, the court bill, the commission end other legislation directly affecting this district and the city will receive fla verable attention"

FINED FOR SPEEDING.
AN AUTOMOBILE.
Shelton H. Groves Pays $40 in Police
Court Today. Appeal is Made to
Corporation Court.

Shelton H. Groves, charged with op
Grating an automobile within the city
limits at an unlawful speed was before
the Police Court this morning. A
small colored boy named Milton
Brooks, it will be remembered, va:
struck by Groves automobile on the
18th ultimo and painfully injured. The
accident occurred on King street a
short distance west OF West street.
A number OF witnesses were exam
iaed, all save one testifying that the ma.
chine was beiug operated at high
speed, SO much SO rs to attract general
attention as it passed up King street.
1t was also stated by a majority OF the
witnesses that the horn was not sounded
at the intersections Of streets, nor was
there any attempt made to check the
speed at such intersections.
Groves was fined ten dollars from
which sentence the accused noted an
appeal to the Corporation Court.
The speed Of automobiles and motor
cycles often attracts the attention OF
people on streets where vitrfied brick
roadways have been laid, and it is no
uncommon occurrence for those opera
ting such machines to pass interscc-
tions without slowing down or sound
ing horns. This is often noticeable on
King street, and it is the general opin-
ion that. sooner or later. q serious acci-
dent will bring thoughtless chanffeurs
and riders OF motorcycles to their senses.
The state laws not only provide for
iniug persons violating speed ordinan-
ces, but the court before which they
may be arraigned can add a prison
sentence.
