MAGIC CITY PEOPLE STAYING AT HOME Pleasant Weather and Com ing Election Is Causing
 Slim Excursions

Tho pleasant weather here, the forth coming vital election and indifference to travel. are the three reasons given by railroad officials for the exceedingly dis appointing excursion crowds that annual ly take advantage of the August fares.
 It was estimated yesterday that the excursiorists were 75 per cent less this year on the first trial than ever before since the annual low rates have been put into effect. The entire railroad opera 1t is said, whereas in the past exception ally large crowds left Birmingham on the August excursions.
 The railroads have another try at the August rate. August 19. and they are making strenuous efforts to make up the deficit created Saturday. However, they are not sanguine.
 The operations Saturday consisted of double sections on many railroads with the Illinois Central leading with three sections of the Seminole Limited, and the Frisco carrying about the same amount of extra travel on their trains. The Alabama Great Southern did fair business while the other lines were patronized on a parity with the former companies Taken at large, however, the railroad men say that there is no real reason for people to leave Birmingham to seek cooler cllmes. as the conditions here have compared favorably with the conditions at widely discussed resorts

GROCERS CASE ID BE
 HEARD IN ATLANTA

The court of appeals of the United States will convene in Atlanta October at which time the decree of the South ern Wholesale Grocers' association, which is generally admitted to have been written out, will be filed and entered in the minutes of that court.
 The finale of the trust busting" ef- forts of the government against thls association will occur at that time. II was said yesterday that the decree of the grocers' association as agreed upon between the attorneys does not pro- hibit the reformation of that associ- ation under a different charter. An other version of the compromise is that between the time of the alleged violations of the antitrust laws, and the beginning of the dissolution pro- cess in the local federal court, the charter of the association as It stood years ago has been changed by Gen. eral Luke Wright of Memphis, attor- ney for the association, and modified to such an extent that no violations cold be proved of the Sherman law. No comment has been made as to the supposedly existing decree When the court assemblies in Atlanta the full in formation relative to the proposition will be made public.

He has been In Mempnis three or four days assisting there m .h August excursion business. MT. pona talked interestingly of the recent prohibition election in Texas' saying that the anti-prohibition side won oy tho narrowest margin and that even the most wildly enthusiastic were scar cd breathless almost while the slow re- turns were coming in. He said the eN- ample of Texas was expected to nave salutary effect over the entire coun- try which is gripped by the Ill favoreo prohibition agitation.
 "The sane proposition" he said' 1s that exercised by Chattanooga when an excise commission was in 1orce' The saloon keepers knew without any doubts that unless they rigidly lived up to the laws laid down by that commits sion they would be put of business in- stantly. If Birmingham can get the proper kind of men to head that excise commission, which will perhaps be es tablished here, the prohibitionists can feel assured that they have accomplish ed g. great deal. For the commission will see to 1t that the most perfect regulations be put into effect. Theil powers will be so absolute that the sa- loon keeper will not need any police powers over him to make him be good And again the saloon men who pay 5
