The umpire is the legitimate target

plenty of fault with many of Halls

times he called the runner out before
the play was made. He killed off a
wonderful rally in the seventh. and
made an especially bad decision on

 Upon application of Hasletts helrs County Judge Fawcett today ordered the hearing to show cause why such a committee should not be appointed.
 The district attorney of Kings county took up an investigation of the whole case today to determine if there is ground for grand jury action. in accordance with the proceedings already begun.
 For the first time in quarter cen tury Hasletts House of Mystery under went a cleaning today and the removal of dust and dirt which filled barrels re- vealed art treasures which would have done credit to museum.
 There were many paintings by famous artist, almost oblterated by the action of dust, and shelf after shelf of worries of, beautiful handiwork and bric-a brac from every quarter of the globe. Many can celed checks for sums running into thoh- sands of dollars. representing charitable gifts many years ago, were also found.

CAPITAL MAY GET
 CANNING FACTORY

Montgomery, February 2-(Special.)- Secretary Bruce Kennedy of the Business Mems league has received letters from one of the largest canning concerns in the country in regard to locating branch factory in Montgomery.
 According to the letters of inquiry, MT. Kennedy says that the concern that wishes to establish a branch factory here will do so provided the farmers of Mont gomery county will guarantee to plant 1000 acres of tomatoes each year for consump- tion by the factory.
 While Secretary Kennedy will not give out the name of the manufacturer, he de- clares that it is one of the largest con- cerns in the country, it's name being al- most a household word in every home. It is understood that the establishment of the canning factory here would necessi- tate the employment of about 500 people.

BESSEMER DEPOT
 STILL UNSETTLED Julian States Matter Will Probably Be Taken
 to Court

Frank N. Julian. associate railroad commissioner, was in the city yester- day on personal and official business
 the latter of a routine nature. He was a passenger to Montgomery yesterday afternoon over tho Louisville and Nash ville.
 Mir. Julian said yesterday that the
 Bessemer depot matter was in the same position as several weeks ago when an order was issued to the railroads that @ depot must be erected there. It is believed and generally accepteN as tho
 position of the companies that the de- pot will not be built as ordered until the courts pass upon the questions in yolved. As generally understood the companies want to erect separatc depots, while the citizens 1t is said. want a union passenger station. The railroads will carry the. order of the comInission to the courts before any final action is taken.
 The railroad commissioners, it isl said, have not sufficient power and au- thority under the present laws to en- force orders issued and for that reason a ne~ regulation will be proposed att the next meeting of the legislature. The present laws restrict the commis-l sion severely in orders issued and theH railroads know intimately how far the commissioners can go in the general en- forcement of the orders. f
 .'One accomplishment of the coninis- sion which I think fs worthy of atten- tiont is the better information as tod arrivals and departures of trains" said| MT. Julian. At this time exact in-] formation Is furnished travellers aA every station. In old times the station| agents at small towns paid little ifI any attention to the proper inforinationI| being displayed for travellers. That1 caused intense discomfort to hundredsI| of people We have succeeded In con 'vincing agents that not only dees th eI| guilt apply to railroads for failing to| give the arrivals and departures andl whether or not train is late, but t1 also applies to the agent in charge of the station. That has solved theftrouble fo a great degree"
