Joyce Wins While the aviators were cavorting like birds over the grounds, the big 10 mile motorcycle race was started between Gail Joyce of Birmingham and Arthur Mitch ell of Chicago. the former on seven horsepower Indian and the latter on a Flying Merkle of the same horsepower.
 Joyce took the lead from the first and maintained it until the end, winning in 9:14 3-5. remarkable race considering the condition of the track.
 This makes the second race won by the home boy. Mitchell says, however, that he is going to land some of the money today.
 To close the afternoons entertainment there was a grand ensemble of the avia- tors in the air at one time. Aviator Heth having meanwhile returned from a cross country flight with Oscar Hunt of the Ledger Heth then took up Johnny Meyers, who is himself an aviator.

On the ground. rolling along in the shallow places of the undulating valley land were thin wsps of fog and cloud, with here and there patchwork of dust. and throughout them could be seen ever and anon the budding foliage on bush and tree. The sun was sinking, and the skies growing dark. The aeropanes scared in various rapid and then slower revolutions, and across the hangar came the faint echoes of the band.
 The third afternoon of the big meet came to close, more than success-it was positive triumph.

 Aviator Heth will make an attempt in his Wright biplane to show Captain Mandy how fortihcations would be approached in time of war by an aerial scouting party, and will also drop imitation bombs at various places in Jones valley.
 This flight will be watched with great deal of interest and much valuable and scientific data is expected to arise from it. if conditions permit Heth carrying out his ideas.

En Route From Florida

Governor Conner stated to his friends that he was on his way home from c fishing trip off the coast of Florida, and that he had merely stopped over in Montgomery for the purpose of a friendly visit to Governor ONeal and others at the state house. A telegram
 received at the capitol early this morn ing from Governor Conner announced that he would stop over in Montgomery for several hours.
 Regarding the conference held more than a week ago between Governor O'Neal and other state officials rela- tive to the states action in the rate
 cases, to which conference former Gov ernor Conner was invited, the ex-govern- or declared that he had not received
 the telegram inviting him to be pres ept until several days later, upon his return from a fishing trip off the Flori- da coast. Governor Conner declared that he received this telegram on last Tues day.
 Governor Corners visit to the capitol, while not having any particular sig nificance attached to 1t, was neverthe- less commented upon by state officials. Governor ONeal did not know of ex- Governor Corners presence in the build ing until nearly an hour after the lat ter's arrival at the state house.
 Later Governor Conner called at the office of Governor o'Neal and the two shortly therafter retired for a confer ence. To what extent the rate situa- tion was discussed by the two gov ernors could not be learned, though 1t
 is very probable that this question was the leading topic of discussion. To his friends. ex-Governor Conner declared that fishing was fine,o and that he had enjoyed his trip. He de- clared that he was having splendid health, and showed his pleasure in meeting so many of his old associates and friends.

A Coincidence

|
 It is believed to be a rather remark able coincidence that former Governor Conner and Milton H. Smith, president of the Louisville and Nashville Rail- oad company, should have been in Montgomery on the same day. Another coincidence is that on the same day Samuel D. Weakley and H. c. Selheimer, two attorneys appointed by Governor Conner during his administration to as- sst the state in the fight against the railroads, should have also been in the city. It is not known whether Gov ernor Conner saw Messrs. Weakley and Selheimer while in Montgomery.
 These two prominent attorneys were
 in the city for the purpose of con- ferring with the attorney general and the railroad commission relative to the rate situation. The conference was held thij morning and nothing was given out after the meeting.
 The situation is believed to be get ting rather acute, particularly in view of the state democratic conventions $ indorsement of resolution condemning the railroads for putting back the old rates, and calling upon Governor
 O'Neal and the state authorities to exert every power at their command to compel submission on the part of the railroads.

Get Case Before Court

It was learned tonight that the con- ference this afternoon between Attor- ney General Brickell, S. C. Selheimer and the members of the Alabama rail- road commission was held for the pur- pose of considering the proper mode of procedure to be pursued in getting the railroad rate cases before the United States supreme court. There Is mass of detail work to be done.
 Charles Henderson, president of the commission, said after the conference that the state Is determined to get the case before the supreme court of the United States early as possible and this statement was affirmed by Attorney General Brickell.
 At the conference today we con- sidered all the steps to be taken in the matter" said MT. Henderson. We gave our closest attention to what the state had done in reference to the litigation and General Brickell, MT. Selheimer and the members of the commission were all assigned a certain portion of the work to be done in the matter of collecting detailed information, in ar ranging the record. and in the classiii- cation of other details which are neces- sary in order to place the case in the hands of the highest tribunal in the land.
 That the state is in earnest to appeal to the supreme court of the United States as early as possible is not ques- toned in the least degree and it is all be printed and prepared for pre- sentation to this tribunal early in the fall of this year
