CRIMINAL COURT TO
 OPEN THIS MORNING
Judge Greene Will Organize Grand and Petit Juries and Charge
 the Grand Jury

The criminal court opens this morn- fng for the fall and winter terms, with crowded dockets in both divisions.
 The grand and petit jurors will be or- eanized this morning by Judge Samuel E. Greene, who will preside in the first division during the absence of Judge Frank Cahalan, who is i'll. After Judge Greene has organized and charged the grand jury for the September term and empanneled the petit juries for the week, he will adjourn court until Tues day morning, on account of Labor Day.
 There is some speculation as to whether Judge Greene will make any special charge to the grand jury, but as Judge Greene in a former charge stated that in his opinion the present code of procedure in the trial of criminal cases was antiauated and in a large measure responsible for the laws delay in the punishment of crime it has been suggested that he will probably make some allusion to it.
 However, Judge Greene was not aware that he would charge the grand jury until the last day or so and may not be prepared to make any further statement in this regard.
 On Tuesday morning Judge Greene will take up the capital felony docket set in the first division, and in all probability Judge Frank w. Smith will preside in the second division and take up the misdemeanor docket

 BIRMINGHAM MEN
Opinion Expressed That the Roads and Employees Will
 Get Together

In the direction of Washington tnls morning 5000 employees of eight sohth- eastern railroads will incline their interest in the conference to be held their be- tween railroad officials and the grand officers of two railroad orders. A strike vote has been taken. But In Birmingham yesterday one of the officials of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainr1en said he did not believe the strike would ever occur.
 The dispatch from Washington printed yesterday morning in The Age-Heraid telling about the proposed strike created wide interest in Birmingham. The ol- ficials and employees of the Southern rail- way. the Queen and Crescent route, the Sea board Air Line, the Georgia Southern and Florida, the Mobile and ohio, the Alabama Great Southern, the Atlantic Coast Line, the Central of Georgia and the New orleans, Mobile and Ohio are all interested in what will be decided today in Washington.
 The differences of the railroad manage ments are with the Order of Railway Con ductors employed on the foregoing rail-
  hood of Railway Trainmen. The latter organization has as members baggage masters, white breakmen, hagmen, yard engine foremen and switchmen These men have asked for an increase of pay based upon the plea that the heavy in- crease in the cost of living makes 1t im- perative Of 5000 men involved, 1t was said yesterday by an official that between 9i and 97 per cent voted to give up their work unless the managers agreed to pay them more. This proposal was put up to the managers. The officials assert on the other hand that to agree to the in- crease would mean over $3,00,DO an- nually.
 The opinion was expressed yesterday by a prominent member of the Brother hood of Railway Trainmen, and also by Birmingham officials of the railroads af- fected. that there would be no strike. It was pointed out that the executive of- flcers are handling the matter Tn Wash ington, and local men believe they Will be able to adjust the differences satis- factorily.

Courtland, September 1.-(Special)- After a continuous grind of two weeks, tLe Lawrence county circuit court ad- journed Saturday. Almost all cases set for trial were disposed of and a very few cases await the December term. Crim- inal week was a busy week and as a result the state gains much labor. One defendant goes to the coal mines for year, one to the penitentiary for 10 years. one for six, three for four and one boy to the reform school for three years. A case that presented more than the usual amount of human interest was that of Hubert and Percy Morgan, charged with murder.
 The oldest of these boys was r years of age, while the younger was 15. They were charged with the killing of man named Scivally, by stabbing him With knife at an all-day singing near Hills boro. The true cause of the killing never got to the jury. The boys were brothers,

.INOCULATE HOGS
 AT THE STATE FAIR
Superintendent AllgoOd of Swine De- partment Will Have Charge
 of the Work

Another practical demonstration at the Alabama State Fair this fall will be that of the inoculation of the hog cholera serum In swine. superintend- ent Allgood of the swine department was here yesterday from chepultepec, his home. making preparations for the exhibits in his department.
 We have decided to make this inoc- ulation demonstration for several req sons, principal among which are the facts that 1t prevents the spread of the cholera and will benefit the farm CTS who see it in such way that they can administer the serum them selves at their homes.
 We will use the government certi- fled serum and I will make the inocula- tions myself. Every hog which is sold from the fair grounds this fall will be inoculated. By doing this I think that the owners will get better prices on account of their assured health as far as cholera Is concerned.
 "There have been many improvements in the swine department over last year, principal among which Is that we have much more room for the accommoda- : tion of the fine hogs we expect to have at the fair. The entire end of the ground was last year given to cat tie, swine and sheep will be given over to swine, the cattle and sheep having been moved to other parts of the grounds. In fact, our space for hogs has been tripled.
 "The American Berkshire association will have a contest among the hogs of that brand and already I am receiving assurances from all parts of the state that we will have splendid exhibit in this department.
 "Taking all in all, l am anticipating about d 100 per cent improvement in the swine department this year over that of last year"
 MT. Allgood left last night for his home after paying a visit to the fair grounds and looking things over. lie will return to the city about two weeks before the opening of the fair and remain here until the fair will have closed

GET LITTLE
 SATISFACTION FROM BORDEN

London. September 1.-(Special. )-Brit- ish suffragettes were disconnected, though only for an instant, by the blunt response of MT. Borden, Canadian pre- mer, to their request to identify himself and his administration in some way with the cause of votes for women.
 As he is as popular here because of his general attitude on imperial ques- tions as he is at home on domestic ques- tions, the cynicism of his reply is the more deeply regretted.
 He is admonished by a suffraSist jour nal to think imperially as to tine rights of womban, and is admonished that when he gets back to Ottawa he will find he has lighted a fire which may burn some of his highest political fences, because our American sisters across the border have a correct line on him at last"

It has hap pens too often in Birmingham. But last week capped the climax
 It seems that MT. Woodruff's two dogs. thoroughbred Boston terrier pups. no more than Il months old, breed which is exceedingly rare in Birming ham and very expensive. were given strychnine by some one in the neigh horhood. without the slightest reason killed instantly.
