HOWARD ALUMNI TO
 STAND BY RUSHTON
Develops That He Was First Man to Graduate Following Removal From
 Marion to East Lake

Alumni of Howard college, according to Leon Bradley. editor of the Tusca- loosa News, have reason to support Ray Rushton of Montgomery, candidate for the short term in the United States Senate.
 From the statement of MT. Bradley, it became known in Birmingham that MT. Rushton was the first man to graduate from Howard after the college was re- moved from Marion to East Lake. | "The college was moved in 1SS7,'' said MT. Bradley, "and Mir Rushton was graduated in 1888. Of course, there are other reasons why I am inclined to MT. Rushton, but this one within itself is a powerful reason.'
 MT. Rushton is generally esteemed in Birmingham by those who know him. He is not politician. He was a mem- Der of the aldermanic board of Mont- gomery and was city attorney for Mont gomery. Prior to his recent announce ment for the Senate he had offered for nc other offices. He opposed the pro- hibition amendment to the constitution but when the gubernatorial campaign followed. he took charge of the fight in the interest of Col. H. S. D. Mallory, a prohibitionist Until his recent announce ment, he was vice chairman of the sen atorial campaign in the interest of Os- car w. Underwood. As soon as he an- nounced, however, he resigned from mem- bership on that committee.
 MT. Rushtons friends contend that he will prove an unusually strong candi- date.

 Being Manifest Here

The largest coal dump in Amerirq fer patents of Erslsine Ramsay of Birming- ham, Is being constructed by the H. C Prick Coke company of Pittsburg The dump patented by MT. Ramsay has found favor with engineers in all industrial cen ters, but it remained for the Prick com pany to construct the largest in the Uni ted States. It is stated that the dump will be capable of handling 100 cars at the same time. The dump will be ITS feet long, which is the longest of all dumps made in this country.
 The patent of MT. Ramsay of the dump has been utilized here and is said to be one of the most efficient that has re- gently been brought out. MT. Ramsay, whose invention is being utilized by the Trick company. was once 0 water boy for that concern, gradually being pro- noted to the position of superintendent In charge of eight mlnes when only 19 years of age. He came to Birmingham from that company. In local industrial circles unusual interest is being man. ifested in the giant dump being con- struoted and it is said that arrangements are being discussed to take a party of local men to Pittsburg to see the opera tion.

of the defendants with the democratic administration, the hearings excited to considerable extent the entire ma tion.
 MT. Blackmon having as his guest one or his law partners of Admission. Nlel Sterne, planned to attend the hall game Saturday afternoon. He presumed that the House, as usual would ad 1onrn shortly after noon His delight was great, therefore. when on readine- the papers Saturday morning he learned mat Una me team which would oppose the W w ash himstoh senators would be the De- trolt Ilgers, and that in the eame-to- pc an Irresistible force would meet an irresistible force, that is, Walter John son. the greatest pitcher of the world would endeayor to deceive Ty Cobb the greatest hitter of the world SO at breakfast he congratulated himself ana MT. Sterne, and Mr Sterne con- graduated himself and Mr. Blackmon It IS said that they joined hands and danced around the table. for if fails seldom to the lot of mortal man to taste of the spices of Paradise. or to see walter Johnson go up against Tv- rus Cobb. y
 And the House convened. The busi- ness tagged for some time and then.
 'e tIai naNlng become hot and the aoss having opened up in the highest notes of the full cry, minutes slipped away With marvellous rapidity. At 9 CLOCK MT Sterne sent a note to Mr blackmon reminding him that the time Tor departure had come. Before the member could answer the House by vote agreed to remain Tn session.
 NO sooner had the vote been taken than congressman after congressman slipped to the cloakroom and therefrom to the ball game-for everyone had heard of the impending struggle be- tween the two "irresistibles" Mr BIackmon thought d moment. He want ed to go. He wanted to see the game. In the first place and he didn't want to dlsappoint his partner in the other.
 And then he thought of the people of the Fourth district who had hon ored him with a seat in Congress.
 Those people," he said to himself did not send me to Washington for the purpose of attending ball games They sent me up here to do what I could in the way of enacting legisla- ton for the good of all the people That impending struggle between MT Johnson and MT. Cobb may go to hang"
 And he walked out into the corridors When Sterne saw him coming he smiled gladly and rubbed his hands together. And then he noted the sad expression in the eyes of the congressman His heart sank.
 q am sorry" said Blackmon but I've got to stay on the job this aft ernoon. Give my regards to Walter and TYrus. l will see them later"
