new diphtheria serum of Professor Behr-

gress at Wiesbaden last month that he
had discovered a method of producing
prolonged immunity from the disease by
the injection of serum consisting of
diphthera poison and antidotes.
The discovery appears to be considered
by the medical faculty as 4 highly i'm

not only immune against immediate in

also maintains its value for a period of
a full year.
Professor Behring reports over 100 sue

mated inmates of a hospital where diph-
theria ragged were immune throughout the
epidemic. The treatment is expected to
be valuable in schools and hospitals, espe-
cially lying-in hospitals.

State Railroad Commission
Has Several Subjects Up
for Consideration

Montgomery, May S1.-(Special. .)-Uni-
form requirements for reweighing car
load shipments will be the principal mat
ter under discussion at the session of the
state railroad commission next Monday.
The consideration of this subject has been
postponed from time to time for the past
Two months, each time the matter having
been delayed at the requests of attor-
neys for the railroads.
The question of promulgating require
ments for the reweighing of all shipments
In carload lots will probably consume the
greater part of the day Monday, with in
dlcations that the various railroads of

attorneys to appear before the commits
sion in their behalf. On the other hand.
1t is expected that a large number of
prominent shippers and merchants of the
state will be present at the meeting, and
the session, as whole, will probably be
one of the most important held in many
months.
Another important case to come before
the commission on Monday is a petition
by citizens of Abbevile for double daily
train service on the Abbeville branch of
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. R. w.
Miller and ID. c. Halstead, attorneys, will
represent the people of Abbevile in their
fight for additional train service.

boro, Russell county, Is another case
which has attracted considerable atten-
ton The case is styled Wheeler Will
liams against the Central of Georgia and
the Seaboard Air Line railroads.
Other cases to come up for consdera-
ton are:
Alfred Bates ct al against the Illinois
Central Railroad company, being petit
