BARELY A TRACE
 OF WOOD ALCOHOL
Agee Receives Report From Federal Chemists Supplementing That of
 State Chemists

The wood alcohol scare was exploded Yesterday when Chairman W. c. Agee received a report from the federal au- thorities in Washington supplementing the previous report of Dr. B. B. Ross, state chemist. to the effect that no wood alcohol was to be found in the liquor samples sent to the investi- gators.
 The city was somewhat excited some weeks ago when it was circulated that some of the saloon men had been adul- terating their goods with wood al- cohol. At the same time MT Agee said officially that only one such case had been found and announced that there was such a small amount of wood al- cohol that local chemists could not trace it. pr. Ross also failed to find any serious amount of wood alcohol in the sample and suggested that the federal chemists look the sample over. The quantitative test disclosed that a trace was in the sample but gave the opinion that the amount was due to a barrel having been used once for al- cohol and later for liquor. The excise commission is thoroughly satisfied with the situation and feels that in a measure an injustice has been done the saloon men by the gravity attached to the charge when it amounted to noth- ing practically.

 ager of the Chicago Great Western rail- road with offices in Chicago. An an- nouncement to that effect was received here yesterday by some of the close friends of MT. Garrett, who knew him in Birmingham and while in the south he was a moving factor in railroad oper- ations.
 Mir Garrett will be in sole charge Of operations for the Chicago Great West ern, succeeding II. J. slifer, resigned His appointment has been announced by s. NJ. Felton, president of the company
 MT. Garrett was operating head of the Queen ana Crescent railroad several years and was often in Birmingham. He hand led the road with remarkable success and was later made president of the seaboard Air Line. He carried with him on that line f. sevier of this city as vice pres ident. The affairs of the Seaboard were handled with great success by MT. Car rett and his organization for several years Eventually Mir. Garrett resigned and entered the railway supply business in Pittsburg He was later chairman of the General Managers association and served in that capacity for several months.
 In Birmingham the decision of Mir. Garrett to re-enter railroad work will be received with great interest.

TRAFFIC TIED UP ON EAST LAKE LINE Car Derailed at WOOdlawn Almost Enters Drug
 Store

Traffic on the East Lake car line was impaired for five hours yesterday when No. 246 jumped the track at Woodlawn station, blowing through the dirt for 15 feet. When the motor stopped the front headlight was only five feet from the front door of the Edmundson drug store An automobile which was stand ing in front of the store missed de- struetion by only eight inches when a big rock lying on the road turned the wheels of the street car truck.
 Two work cars were called to the scene. and from o'clock until 5.30 mechanics labored to raise the heavy truck back on 10 the rails. According to a dispatcher who was on the scene, the derailment was caused by a cracked wheel. The right wheel on the front truck was cracked and it was stated 1t gave way just at that place. This greatly hampered the mechanics in their work
 During the time that No. 246 was off the track outbound cars changed to the inbound track at Forty fourth street, running on that as far as the Gate City crossing, where they changed back. It was late hour last night before the regular schedule was work ing.

 extent the farmers and others had dis counted the political vaudeville that Is daily being conducted over the country.
 In California, according to Judge Stoke ly Roosevelt is strong, but his nforma- ton is that the colonel need feel but small consolation in the receptions that have been accorded him elsewhere in the west
 Hiram w. Johnson, the running mate 'of Roosevelt" said Judge Stokely, lis undeniably a strong man in many western states. And it Is my opinion that what ever strength Roosevelt picks up out there will be on account of Johnson. In many states the vice presidential nominee on the bull moose ticket is held up as a star performer but that alone cannot garner Roosevelt the strength needed out west to put him over. l have not the slightest doubt but that Wilson will get the cleo ton by as large a vote as has been &C., corded any candidate of recent years. He seems to be progressiveness incarnate which westerners have learned to love.
 Business out west is certainly fine. There is every indication that harvest seldom equalled will be gathered and that spells prosperity for that section. In fact, l am told that the railroads are having some trouble at this time getting enough cars to handle the tremendous amount of traffic that has developed by reason of the business strides.
 ''The west is certainly a great country. They have developed that section with remarkable speed and there is under way
 
 ifornia they are preparing for the great est exposition In 1915 that has ever been held in this country. That will be in commemoration of the opening of the ca- nal. In San Francisco the city is ilumi- mated now with high signs bearing the inscription '1915' to attract the attention of visitors so as to bring them back dur ing the show In every conceivable way they are boosting the exposition and there is scarcely any doubt but what there will be a great show arranged there.
 "The Norman church in Utah is do- ing tremendous amount of development. The church recently completed the Utah hotel In Salt Lake City, which is in my opinion the finest and most luxurious hotel in that country. The church is operating practically all business in that state not exclusively but participating in practically all lines"
 Judge Stokely and Mrs. Stokely car ried their two little daughters on the long trip through the west and the little folks seemed to enjoy 1t every minute.
 'erhe park system In the west said Judge Stokely, ''are certainly splendid. experienced hard time getting our kids away from the slides, swings and other playthings in one of the Denver parks. In Golden Gate park at San Francisco. which is' five miles long, everything that can delight the heart of children. and also interest older folks Is provided. The happy times Tn those parks had by the children of the city as well as tho wis., itors is certainly sufficient compensation for any city to build them

WILL LAY RAILS ON .L.& N.D0UbLE TRACK
Place First Rails Between Cullman and Holmes
 Gap

The first rails of the new Louisville and Nashville double track line will be placed between Holmes Gap and Cullman this week, according to information given out here yesterday. The workmen have pro- gressed favorably on the double track ex- cavations and the laying of rails will ac- tdally occur within few days.
 The rails have been rolled at Ensley ana when laid trains will be operated upon them without much delay. II is said that additional work of laying rails will take place within a short time, as the com pany officers are anxious to get the dou- tle line between Birmingham and Deca- tur in operation as quickly as possible.
 The contractorS that have been at work cn the line since Christmas have moved large amounts of dirt on the new survey and have every feature of the new work in comparatively good shape.

JOHNSON AND MIR.
 FOWLKES RETURN
Toured Western and Eastern States and Found Wilson Strength
 Good

After an extensive trip to Chicago, Winconsin, the great lakes and thence to New York city, MT. and Mrs. Craw- ford Johnson and Mir. and Mrs. Frank B. Fowlkes have returned home. They have been away six weeks, during which time they travelled in many states of the middle west and the east.
 Mir. Johnson and MT. Fowlkes both seemed to think yesterday that Gov ernor Wilson would be elected this fall President of the United States, there being seemingly little opposition to him except from Roosevelt
 Mir. Johnson said that visit to the Wilson headquarters by MT. Fowlkes indicated that nothing was being over looked which would insure victory for the New Jersey governor
 The democrats have one whole floor of the Fifth avenue building" said MT. Folwkes. "and they are as busy there as Birmingham. getting out reading notices and letters to the voters l have seldom witnessed such . busy scene as presented at the Wilson head quarters. We talked a short while with MT. McAdoo and he seemed to be very well satisfied with the situation '

He stated. however. that the swelling was due to a lick with the soft end of a billiard cue. and that he proposed to have his assail- ant put in the big rock.
 Now, those who know Charlie Dough erty wouldn't suspect him of perpetratins a Joke, for while he has the keen sense of the humorous that seems to be the heritage of the Irish race, he is ordinari- " the most dignified of mortals and be- hayes like the perfect gentleman that he is Charlie has a rich rolling brogue, without which an Irish joke would lose it's piquancy-in fact 1t would be like eat ing eggs without salt for an 1rishman to spring joke and leave off the brogue. As was said before. no one has heard of C. J. getting off a joke before, but neverthe- less he was guilty yesterday
 As Judge Jim finished writing out the warrant he looked at the man with the enlarged countenance and being In face- tious mood. smilingly said:
 Young man. 1t has just occurred to me that in your present condition you would make a fine lawyer.
 How do you make that outY asked The man with the lopsded face.
 Because you have plenty of jaw said the judge with a grin at Jack Greener.
