RESPONSIBILITY
 NOT TO BE SHIFTED
Judge Lane Declares It Commission ers' Duty to Decide the
 Viaduct Question

That he had never yet shifted re- sponsibility thrust upon him, was the reply by Associate Commissioner A. O. Lane yesterday in answer to the sug- gestion that he would probably refer the solution of the viaduct question to the people.
 It was reported about the city hall that Judge Lane would, in order to please everybody, refer the question of closing streets to the voters, which action would have been within the provisions of the commission bill under which the con- missioners are operating
 Judge Lane was asked yesterday about the suggestion and if 1t was probable that he would refer the matter.
 Not at all probable. sir" said the commissioner. q have never yet shifted responsibility thrust upon me and I do not propose to do so now. will frame my opinion upon the viaduct ques- ton according to the law and facts.
 . "In this issue I believe there are legal questions, facts and financial considera- tons which judge can decide better than the people. There is absolutely no sane reason why the question should not be settled by the commissioners.

FUSIONISTS WILL
 KEEP UP THE FIGHT
Slight Evidences of Impatience Is Noted, But Legislators
 Will Stay

The insurgents of the Tennessee legis- lature have begun to exhibit slight signs of impatience at their condition which at present Is unchanged from what 1t was when they made their hegira. Mutt terings are heard in the ranks against such a state of affairs as has compelled honest, God-fearing men to leave their families, their homes and their friends to protect the interests of the state.
 All the members of the filibuster party maintain, however. that they will stick out the fight till Christmas come if needs be and they still assert that their stay in Birmingham is as pleasant as can be wished.
 The legislators were made happy yes- terday when they were informed incl dentaly with an invitation from the Chamber of Commerce of Pensacola that the legislature of Florida p years ago had won fight similar to their own after having taken the same course in behalf of their interests of that state.
 The invitation was extended the solons through J. B. Fleming of Pensacola, who at present Is stopping in the city at the same hotel with the legislators. The Florida city held out many alluring pros- poets to the Tennesseans but the latter thought it would be more practicable to remain in Birmingham and keep the en- tire party intact inasmuch as there were several members who did not wish to make the trip to Pensacola.

DOCTORS STILL WANT
 LEG IRONS REMOVED
Dr. Parke Intimates That the Move- ment Is Not to Be
 Stopped

Never say die,' was the remark Dr. T. D. Parke made yesterday in regard to the interview of Commissioner A. o. Lane, setting out reasons why the peti- ton of the physicians and ministers could not be granted relative to unshacl- ling prisoners on the streets.
 Dr. Parke is very much interested in freeing the negroes of the clanlling irons, not SC much on their account as on ao- count of the moral hurt which he claims will surely follow if children are permit ted to gaze, unoffendcd,7 upon the street gangs working on the Undergraduates with irons around their legs. .
 Judge Lane is unquestionably correct in what he sees is the situation,' said Dr. Farke
 However, the agitation will not down for tie cleanliness here that is so badly wanted, and we will never let up in this fight. I will perhaps append short re- ply to Judge Lane upon the matter with in few days
 From indications it is evident that the question of shacliling convicts on the streets where they arc in the gaze of the people day in and day out, has generated . great amount of lsfaYor. The doctors and ministers are leading the fight

T|DEWATER WORK MUST START SOON The Franchise and Deposits Will Be Forfeited
 Otherwise

Within a few days actual construe tion on the proposed Tidewater rail- road will begin or the company will forfeit it's franchise besides cash de- posits. Interest in the Tidewater pro- position will be high today because of the arrival of P. & Briggs of Phil adelphia, representing the financiers Of the proposition. MT. Briggs will reach Birmingham this morning and will get in touch with the local authorities rel alive to the beginning of the work He is also expected to make some author ized statement about the assembling of working forces here and the break ing of dirt on the new competitive rail- road.
 The Tidewater company has been un- der projection for several years and has many friends here. The actual time for work drawing near is a topic in which great amount of interest has been centered for the past few weeks.
 The company to validate a Besse- amer franchise has started nominal work in that community. However, the Bir- mingham franchise requires the plac- ing of forces In Birmingham and the actual beginning of work on the line in one week.
 The proposed line will provide pas senger and freight transportation from East Lake to Bessemer. Eventually the line will be extended to Tuscaloosa on the south and Gadsden on the north If present plans are carried out.

CALLS T EFFORT
 AT INTIMIDATION
Mclaughlin and Others Do Not Relish Threats
 of Publicity

The threat of organizations opposed to the local option election will not deter Capt. J. Felix Mclaughlin from signing petition Captain Mclaughlin Is a widely known pioneer citizen and he says the only construction to be placed upon a recently issued communication, to the effect that the names of all signers would be published, is an intimidation against the voters of the community. which will cause unconditional disfayor among all classes.
 q shall sign the petition for the cleo tion." said Captain Mclaughlin. because do not intend to be intimidated by any threat to publish my name. I understand that a great many citizens of this com munity look with disfavor upon the threats that have been cunningly made hereabouts for the past few days l would sign it now, after the intimda- ton, 800 times If I could''
 Captain Mclaughlin and several citi- zens were discussing the matter yester- day, including former Lieut.. Gov. Henry B. Gray. Governor Gray has always been for prohibition, but 1t is understood he does not relish the threat of publicity. Commented upon by Captain McLaugh- lin, the streets yesterday the letter to Judge Stiles was the topic of much spec ulation. In the meantime it is stated the petition for the election is being signed with unexpected rapidity The business men of the city are placing their names upon it unmindful of any threat sof pub lcity It is the general impression that the petition will be signed by the most conservative and influential men of this city.
 An amusing incident occurred in respect to the petition when w. s. Lowell, widely known in this state. signed the petition in red ink, which makes it unlikely that his name will be overlooked.

LOCAL MEN TO GO TO
 FUEL CONVENTION
Meeting at Chattanooga on May 15 to Is Arouses Much
 Interest

large number of local railroad off, cials and coal operators will attend the conve ltion of the International Railway Fuel association, which convenes in Chat tsnooga May 15 and lasts until the 18th. s. l.. Yerkes, formerly fuel agent for the Queen and Crescent Route, but now with F. A. Glider & Co.,, announced yesterday that President A. H. Ford of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany; Henry l.. Badham, Erskine Ram say and other prominent local men would be present and probably deliver ad- dresses.
 MT. Yerkes Is one of the founders of the Fuel Agents association, which now has membership of over 5c0. He said this convention was of more than former interest to the south, because of the fact that heretofore all meetings have been held in Chicago. The change emphasized the growing coal and railroad importance of the south according to o'the opinion of Mr. Yerkes.

ALEXANDER CASE
 GOES TO JURY TODAY
State Rested Yesterday Morning and Arguments Come Up
 Today

After making little progress in their ef- forts for the conviction of Robert H. Alexander, charged with the killing Of A. o. Liddon last May, the attorneys for the state rested their case yesterday morning shortly before the noon hour.
 The counsel for the defense brought in only two witnesses before the midday re- cess, but in the afternoon several were in troduced. Among those whose testimony favored the defendant were Harry Smith, A. M Keith, T. D. Evans, Lee Edmond son, w E. Corning, J. B. Davidson and others.
 Evidence has been introduced for the defense showing that Liddon, at the time and place of the shooting, on Second ave- nue and Nineteenth street, was seen to pull his revolver from his hip pocket as he approached Alexander, whereupon the defendant fired three times in quick suc- cession. The testimony will be completed this morning and it is probable that the case will go to the jury some time this afternoon.

CITY WANTS CLERK
 BRADLEY ID PAY
County Official, However, Says Birmingham Owes
 Him Some Money

Indications point strongly to a legal battle in the effort of the commissions CTS to collect from John c. Bradley, clerk of the criminal court certain fees alleged to be due the city of Bir- mingham and unpaid.
 At the meeting yesterday afternoon
 1t was reported that MT Bradley owed the city s2,47s,50 on cases appealed from the recorders court to the crim- inal court for final adjudication. Ap- pended to this, however, was a bill from Mr. Bradley as clerk for s7,251.32 against the city of Birmingham for costs he claims are due from the city in litgigation wherein the city failed to recover against the offender.
 Judge Lane, who is handling the item, said yesterday positively that the city was not liable for the charge made by MT. Bradley but that MT. Bradley was clearly liable to the city for the other sum of over $2oo0. Upon this question it Is expected MT. Bradley and the commissioners will enter into A legal battle.
 Before any action was taken 1t was decided yesterday that the auditor be instructed to check up. the statement of MT. Bradley regarding the charges and the account to see If they were cor rect.
 T am sure MT. Bradley is satisfied that this list Is correct" said Judge Lane, but 1t is well to have them audited to make sure"
 The question of exacting costs from the county officials in city cases has worried great many mayors of the city, resulting in every instance in no funds being received from the county officials.
