LITTLE SURPRISE
At RECE|VERSH|P
Little Pessimism Here Over
Action in Regard to
Frisco

The troubles of the Frisco lines result
ing yesterday in the appointment of two
receivers was not surprising in Brming-
ham. For several days local industrial
men have been acquainted with the finan-
cial worries of the Frisco and little
hopes of avoiding the receivership was
held out here.
1t is understood that some persons in
New York taking a statement of a sub
sidiary line as an example of business
started a raid on Frisco stock four days
ago. The stock went down fast Since
that time uncertainties have come about
which eliminated yesterday in the ap-
pointment Of the receivers
Locally little pessimism developed by
the appointment of the receivers. Mr..
Winchell, one of the receivers, is presi-
dent Of the line and an operating man
of we'll known ability. The system has
as a whole been in fine shape. Earnings
have been very flattering. However the
extraordinary flood situations in the Mis-
sissippi valley for two seasons hand run.
ming has caused the Frisco tremendous
expense and losses. That was con-
tributing fact leading to the receivership
No decrease in activities are expected
, locally. The line is enjoying it's accus-
toned good business and while the re-
ceivership will be felt it is being strongly
discounted.

HILLHOUSE WILL
VISIT SCOTLAND
Sails From New York Saturday on
Forty-Third Anniversary of His
Landing Here

On Saturday next James Hillhouse will
sail from New York on the Carmania for
Glasgow, Scotland, upon the forty third
anniversary of his landing in America
from Scotland. Accompanied by Mrs.
Hillhouse he will spend three or four
months in Scotland and elsewhere in
Europe renewing the friendships of his
youth and visiting relatives unseen for
l3 years.
When he landed here 43 years ago he
was a~Scotch youth with many handicaps.
He stopped in Pennsylvania but finally
came south. From position of minor
importance in mining operations Uncle
Jimmie as he is known, rose to the
position of chief state mine inspector
in Alabama, which he held for many
years. He is an operator and owns some
valuable holdings.
Mr.. Hilhouse has not been in the best
of health since the Banner explosion
two years ago, and is going TO Scotland
to completely recover.
He was presented with letters to the
Lord Mayor of Glasgow. Edinburg and
other cities in Scotland by Culpepper
Exum, president of the commission, who
is a personal friend of the widely known
mine operator.

Many Friends Urging Him
to Declare Position in Ap-
preaching Campaign
is TOO EARLY NOW
TO START CAMPAIGN
Understood That Commissioner Is
Ambitious to Be Elected by Peo-
pie to Office Created by
the Legislature

Those who are specializing on the COM
mission race and forming aignments in
connection with it may consider Culpepper
EXum a candidate to succeed himself az
president of the board of commissioners
Though it has been rumored and rather
generally understood that Mr. Exum for
reasgons of health would not offer again.
yet it would seem from developments
by the people to the presidency of the
commission. He has not made any for
reasons of health would not offer again,
until some weeks have passed for the
reason that no primary will be held and
he does not consider it necessary or ex-
pedent to invoke politics upon the people
during the sizzling summer months.
Following the abandonment by the city
committee of any plans for a primary.
Mr. Exum was yesterday called upon by
many influential and leading citizens 10
make known his intentions and ambitions
As voters are lining up upon the one
side and the other friends of Mr.. Exum
wished him to say yesterday what his
plans are.
He declined to make any formal state
ment yesterday, but we'll informed per.
sons at the city hall and many of his
friends are sure he will be candidate.
Just before leaving yesterday afternoon
for Tuscaloosa to attend the commences
ment festivities. there. Mr.. Exum said:
II cannot make any announcement at
this time about the race for commission.
However | have been importuned to offer
myself This has become more pro-
I'M luc lar nd
yesterday l was requested by a great
many of my friends to make known my
plans. | do not think, however, at this
time that 1t is necessary to plunge the
residents of this city into a political CAM
paign rs we have plenty of time for the
campaign and | am unwilling at this
time to make any positive announce
ment."
Mr.. Exum was elected mayor of Bir-
mngham and assisted in getting the COM
mission bill passed which Is now in OPP
Grafton here. He was made president OF
the commission and has been in that place
since. lie has an ambition to be elected
by the people to the place he now holds
and he will make an aggressive campaign
If he runs.
Mr.. Exum has n strong following OF
friends who would Loyalty support him
for the commission should he decide to
offer. His health has not been good for
several months and his absolute declna-
ton to play politics on any question
whatever before the commission has led
to the inevitable opinion that he would
not offer for president of the commis-
sion. His strongest trait as a commits
sioner as generally admitted Is absolute
fearlessness on any matter

LITTLE HOPE FOR
MOORE'S RECOVERY
Walter Moore Will Probably Leave
for Boston Today for Bedside
of His Brother

All hope practically for tho recovery
of Jack Moore, brother of Walter
Moore of this city has been abandoned
by Dr. Cushing, the famous surgeon,
and his relatives here. While there is
a chance that he will recover, yet the
outlook is such as to cause the very
gravest apprehension on the part of his
relatives here. Mr. Moore was operated
on several weeks ago for a brain
trouble which necessitated an addi-
tional operation Monday. From the last
operation the recovery has not been
encouraging.
Walter Moore was yesterday advised
by DIR. Cushing that he could not re-
move the trouble 1t is expected that
Mr. Moore will leave for Boston today.
Jack Moore is from Jasper, although
he is widely known in Birmingham.
He was for many years sheriff of Walk
er county and considered one of the
most efficient public men of that sec
tion. He Is held in the very highest
esteem in Birmingham.
