Water Company Restrained
From Disconnecting Water

Anniston. November 4.-tSpecial)-In-
formation from Jacksonville Monday was
to the effect that the Profile cotton mills,
which have been involved in legal battle
for some time with the Calhoun Water
company of this. city, resumed operations
Monday morning under authority of the
temporary injunction granted by Judge
Thomas w. Coleman. Jr, of the Annis-

pany from disconnecting the water which
supplied the mill
The attorneys for the water company
were still at work Monday on their an

the attorneys for the mill company, ask
ing that the restraining order be granted.
This answer will be submitted to Judge
Thomas w. Coleman this week, 1t is un-

order is set aside it will be necessary for
the mill to again cease operations, it is
contended.
A battle without precedent in the courts
of this county is promised to result from
this litigation unless a compromise is
reached; and, in this connection, much
faith is being pinned in the proposed suit
by former Mayor Horace l.. Stevenson to
determine the ownership of the big spring

ny HOLLAND.

New York November 24-(Special by
the award recently made by the national
arbitra ton board, the trainmen and con-
duetors on the eastern railroads will re-
eeive an increase of per cent in their
pay. This increase is to date from Octo-
her l. Careful estimates show that the
increase involves about s6.o00,000 year.
In addition there is to be an addition of
about s4,0000o0 due to recent state statutes
which require railroads to keep full crews
constantly in employment. The gross in
crease is about s10,OO0,oOO Public senti-
ment. at least in this city and presumably
elsewhere, thoroughly supports the ac
tion of the arbitration board. The increase
of per cent in the pay of trainmen and
conductors is regarded as fair and just.
About 100000 trainmen and conductors
will receive Increased pay averaging about
50 a month.
But while public sentiment approves the
action of the arbitration board. there Is
yet to be heard any expression of public
opinion to the effect that these new
changes add to the already heavy burdens
the railroads are carrying. The arbitra-
ton board could not make the railroad
users, who are the persons who buy trans
portation, contribute their share toward
this increase. The interstate commerce
commission at Washington stands in the
way.
Yet there begins to be an understanding
of one feature of the arbitration boards
award which at first attracted little atten-
ton excepting in railroad circles. Between
the lines of the award there is clearly
written an intimation that If this board
had the authority it would have permitted
an increase in the rates charged by the
railroads for freight transportation. The
entire award in its suggestive wording
justifies the impression that the board was
of the unanimous opinion that the time
mad come when the railroad companies of
the United States should be permitted to
make such new charges as would be in
line with general appreciations of wages,
the cost of materials and increased taxa

Pixies PEAK TO GULF
PLAN FOR HIGHWAY THAT WILL
CONNECT PIXIES PEAK TO GULF
OF MEXICO.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, April 1.
A highway that will connect Pixies
Peak with the Gulf Of Mexico is the am
bilious project that has been launched
by Texas and Colorado good roads en-
thusiastS.
Texas with its good roads bond issues,
TEN, have been much in evidence in the
good roads movement and %develOpmnt
of the last few years, and the proposal
to join these two commonwealth with a
substantial highway is logical and time
ly.
It's inception has been simultaneous in
the two states. Already considerable cor.
~respondence has passed between various
commercial organizations in Texas and
the Colorado Springs Chamber of Com
MERGE which has taken the initiative in
so far As Colorado is concerned.
Plans are now being considered for an
automobile trip from Colorado Springs
to Texas, probably in May of this year.
This has not been definitely decided bu,
the Colorado Springs Chamber of Com
merce is collecting road data to enable
1T to get a clear idea of the most prac-
ticable roads and to decide whether such
a tour is feasible. The route will not be
determined upon until the road data has
been received from various communities
in Texas.
Every summer many Texans visit the
Pixies Peak region making the trip by
auto. 1t is the plan of the Colorado
Springs people not only to return the
visit, but to demonstrate to ColOradoens
the wonderful opportunities Texas has to
offer.
In connection with the proposed tour,
if carried out, it is probable that a
meeting or meetings will be held to de
termine upon plans for the development
of a Texas Colorado highway or high
ways. form a permanent association and
l~naugurate a movement that will stimu
late road developmet in these states.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The recent agi-

protest from fifteen prominent %rectOrs

One of the names suggested to which
objection is found, is the "American
Catholic Church." those who favor its
adoption propose to submit it for con-
sideration at the next general conven-
ton of the church in this city in October.
The letter was made public in New
York tonight. In part it is as follows:
I'VE believe the time to be inOppOr-
tune for changing the name. because the
graf numbr opposed to the change will
be sincerely disturbed by such action;
because it seems quite evident that those
who desire a change can not agree upon
a name, and because church unity. of

SUPREME BENCH
FOR CULBERS0N
BELIEVED THAT WILSON WILL
OFFER TEXAS SENATOR FIRST
VACANCY IN THE FEDERAL
SUPREME COURT.
CULBERSON WILL PROBABLY AC-
CEPT, IN WHICH CASE COL
QUIT MAY BECOME CANDI-
DATE FOR SENATOR.

AUSTIN, Texas, April 1T is said
here that in all probability United
States Senator Charles A.. CulbersOn of
Texas will be offered the first place on
the federal supreme court that President
Wilson has to give and that the Texan
will be very likely to accept.
Senator Culberson's selection by his
colleagues as chairman of the committee
on judiciary puts him squarely in line
for such al appointment. The matter
is considered as good as settled in we'll
informed circles about Washington. The
term of Senator CulbersOn, the third
one he will have served, ends the day
the presidents first four years service
expires. AT that time Senator Culber-
son will nave rounded out eighteen years
i'm the senate, four years as governor
and four years as attorney general of
his state.
If there is anything in training, he
will be as well equipped as any man
who ever went to the bench of the SUI
preme court.
The promotion Of Senator Culberson
would cause not less han a half a dozen
men in all likelihood to try for the pO-
sitiOn CulbersOn now holds. At least
two, and possibly more, of Texas mem
bers of congress would want the job
again. Persistent rumOr has it that
Governor COlquitt would measure lances
with all Corners, and in the face of such
reports the governor says nothing.
