RAILROADS To HAVE
FIGHT IN GEORGIA
Legislature May Abolish All
Grade Crossings
SENTIMENT is STRONG
Killing of Miss DuBose Seems to
Have Set State on Fire With
Determination to Get Cor
rection of Evil
SENTIMENT is STRONG

Atlanta. April 6.-(special.)- rail-
roads of Georgia are going to have one
OF the hardest fights Of their lives on hand
in the coming session of the legislature
II is impossible TO estimate just how
many hundreds OF thousands of dollars
perhaps millions, It would cost them II
they were required TO abolish all grade
crossings And yet, there is going to he
the most determined, effort made at the
coming session to put through a bill do
ing away with all grade crossings that
has been seen back of any movement
since the prohibition fight.
The fight for grade crossings has been
smoldering for a long time. 1t was
brought TO head by the killing of Miss
DuBose by Western and Atlantic
train at a dangerous grade crossing sew
eral months ago, when a train coming out
of deep cut struck the automobile in
which she and her father were riding.
From this tragic incident. the agitation
has grown by leaps and bounds, until now
echoes of 1t are heard from all sections
of the state, and members of the new leg
islature who are interested In the mat
ter, have been in correspondence with
one another to ascertain sentiment re-
garding 1t over the state.
A plan has been suggested by one leg
islator, Walter ]. Headden of Cobb coun-
ty. by which it Is proposed that at all

CHANGES MADE BY
THEP|CTURE MEN
Beginning Tomorrow Only
Two Reels Will Be Shown
in Local Theatres

A radical change of policy is to be in
augurated in all the moving picture the
atres of Greater Birmingham, beginning
Monday morning, according to an an
nouncement made Saturday night by A.
A. Wall, national vice president of the
Motion Picture Exhibitors League of
America. to the effect that in the future
the Birmingham exhibitors will show
only two reels of pictures daily Instead
of three and four. as Is the vogue at
present and in the past.
According to Mr.. Wall, who has been
working for the past month in aigning
the local exhibitors on the proposition
of two reels for a show, 1t will mean the
end of ruthless competition, which has
been sapping the life out Of many of
the smaller exhibitors of the city Mr..
Wall said
Starting Monday morning all the local
exhibitors Of the Birmingham district
will show in their theatres only two
reels of pictures. In the past it has
been the custom to show as many reels
as the proprietor of a theatre could afford
in an effort to attract patronage from his
competitors. This has proven to be
ruinous practice and the exhibitors have
now gotten together and will only show
high class pictures at the rate of two
releases daily.
THE feature of only showing two pic
lures for a show is readily apparent to
the public as 1t will mean only a. 40
minute performance and with the latest
pictures. With exhibitors showing three
and four and five reels of pictures the
manufacturers could not furnish the Aims
and therefore many of the theatres were
forced to accept repeaters; that is pic
lures that were being shown In other
theatres about the city Another bad fea-
ture of showing more than two reels of
pictures is that the performance is long
drawn out and tiresome. Business men
are the greatest patrons of the movies
during the day and what they desired Is
30 and 40 minutes of excellent pictures,
not an hour and a half of scrambled
photography"
Mr., Wall Is financially Interested In
several of the motion picture theatres of
Birmingham. besides factor in the ma
tlonal association of motion picture ex-
hibitors He announces further that be-
fore another month all the exhibitors of
the state of Alabama will be showing
only two reels of pictures a day,

j. NJ. Dickinson, former Secretary of War
under the Taft administration who is
special counsel for the government in the
Steel corporation dissolution suit.
Although Mr.. Percy and Judge DiclSin-
son played considerable golf 1t is thought
they also discussed the wire mill opening
at Corey. Tt is gathered that the points
discussed were in relation to the question
of whether the opening at Corey and the
consequent increase OF corporation wire
products would prejudice the dissolution
case against the corporation
Mr.. Percy declined yesterday to discuss
his trip In any manner whatever. II is
understood, however. that his conference
with Judge Dickinson was entirely salts
factory and sufficient to cause unusual
optimism in connection with the much
desired opening.
AS the various details of the efforts
now being made to get the wire plant
opened are learned the feeling here is
gaining more force that the plant will be
opened.

arguing that the railroads should be eager
to make these changes from a financial
standpoint. They are frequently mulcted
in damages as the result of grade crossing
accidents, which would be avoided by the
abolishng of grade crossings.
1t is a well known fact, too. that practi-
cally all of the railroads of the state vio-
late the law which requires them to SLOW
down their trains upon approaching grade
crossings to such a speed that they will
be under control This law has been prac
tically dead letter on the statute books
for years. And yet it is potent factor
in turning damage suits against the rail
roads whenever an accident happens on
a grade crossing. The grade crossing
proposition has never been considered in
so serious light as today. The railroads
have always opposed this legislation be-
cause of the expense involved in 1T, and it
