newspaper Men and Courts

'Newspe per men really ought to be

to Birmingham yesterday. They are
not fit for service as jurors. for the

have not formulated an opinion. For
the same reason they are liable to be
biased in rendering testimony as wit

filled with guests who did not care

The handsome club rooms of the
Elks' Lodge was the scene of one of
the most brilliant social events in
the history of the city last evening
when the opening ball of the Elks
was held.
It was indeed an assembly of fair
women and handsome men that
greeted the eye upon entering the
ball room. The men in full even
ing dress and the ladies in gowns
which were only rivalled by the
wearer's natural beauty, made the
scene one of unusual brilliance, and
with the splendid orchestral music,
it is little wonder that every one
present declared the affair one of the
most delightful they had ever at
tended.

Cornell, a phosphate man, drove his
car into the side of the express car
The auto was completely demol-
ished, there not being enough Of it
left to pay to remove it except some
of the tires and the engine. Those
who know Mr.. Cornell say that he
was very reckless driver. going an
average speed of 35 or 40 miles per
hour. Mr.. Cornell by some chance
was not killed instantly and was
much revived when taken off the
train at Inverness. But az he had
not been examined by physicians 1t
cannot be said in what condition he
is. Some bones are broken, but If
he Is not hurt internally he will re-
cover.
Cornell hit the express car so
hard that he Jared the entire car
and tore off the iron steps under the
middle Of the express car.
mo one seemed to know that the
auto had hit the train except some
children who saw the wrecked car
lying by the track and said that
there was a man under it"

PROF. GRUNDAHL WON
WRESTLING CONTEST

The wrestling match held last
night at the Auditorium theater be-
tween Prof. Grundahl of this city
and Melvin Asp Of Tampa, was won
by Prof. Gruncahl in two straight
falls. The first fall was secured in
twenty-one minutes and the second
in nine minutes.
The bout was clean throughout
and a fine exhibition Of the manly
art of wrestling. Both men drew
round after round of applause from
the audience for their clean fast
work. Asp Is twelve pounds light
err than Grundahl but made up the
deficiency in weight by his clever
ness and knowledge of the wrestling
game. Grundahl had a large car
bunclc on his right leg and went
into the match against the Doctors
orders. There were two prelimin-
aries before the main bout and both
were good G. A. Mann refereed
and after the match challenged
Grundahl to finish bout, two best
in three. Grundahl accepted and
the match will be held at the Audi
forum Sept. 25 This will be a
good bout and should be well
tended. Prof. Grundahl Is now To-
Gated in Lakeland and will open a
physical culture school here in the
near future.

President Taft refused to sign last

The proposed law would require
three watches on all vessels; would re-
quire able seamen at the wheel and at

vent the holding of eamen in serv-
ice in foreign ports, and would make
many other changes in the working
