 mills at Gadsden bought three years ago, but left idle and will call for the en- ployment of a few more men. MT. Bow ron said the beginning Of this work in the south was an encouta ging indication of the progress being made in this sec- tion toware the manufacture of finished products.
 In d statement Mir. Bowron also said that at the meeting of directors of his company held in New York which he at tended the finance committee authorized the construction of two additional woven wire machines and six bale tire ma CllIucS, OlOeIS loi WlDSh hc lld7 6iNci to the White -Blakeslec company of Wood lawn.

COMMISSIONERS SEE NEW EQUIPMENT ON B. R.,L. &P. co. CARS
"L' Shaped Railing Divides Rear Platform-Decline to Forecast Action at
 Tuesday Meeting

City Commissioners George Ward, A. O. Lane and James Weatherly yesterday aft ernoon saw operated one of the cars of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Pow CT company equipped with their new pay as-you-enter device. After the demonstra- tion they said they could not give out now what they would do in regard to the matter when they vote on it Tuesday at the regular meeting. There is little doubt, however, but what the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company will be refused permission to use the sys- tenn on their present cars.
 The car demonstration for the commits sioners yesterday was the same as the one described in The Age-H Herald several days ago. It has an iron railing in the shape of the letter 'I." which divides the rear platform and about three or four feet of the isle of the car into two sections. On one side of the railing the white passen- gers will enter. the other negroes. The negroes have the rear compartment, the white passengers the front, the ne. grCes leaving the car by the same alley way at the rear as they enter, the white passengers coming out of the front end of the car.
 The commissioners rode out on the Avondae line. They went out on one of the pay-as-you- cars without the .L" railing: they came back on one equipped with the railing. They stated that there was no doubt but what the railing constituted an improvement
 That the improvement. in the minds of the commissioners, is not sufficient to eliminate the objection of the inter mingling of the races, however, was in- dicated.
 By resolution the matter will be finally voted upon at the meeting Tuesday.

Kentucky and Tennessee Will Also Be Affected by the Decision Reached
 in Alabama
LOSS OF REBATES
 SEEMS CENTER OF
 CHIEF CRITICISM
BOwrOn Defends COmpromise-Jemi son Glad It Is Oyer-Nesbitt, Murray Brown and Walter
 Moore AntagOnistic

That the Louisville and Nashville rail road and associates have been rewarded to the extent of over s2.000Oo0 for being antagonistic to the law in this state was sentiment advanced yesterday in con- nection with the compromise announced at Montgomery this week.
 This attitude was taken by Murray Brown, one of the best known shippers in the state. Said Mir. Brown:
 The Louisville and Nashville in 1903 said: If we lose we will pay certain re- bates given to passengers on cents per mile tickets. as against the 21a-cent legal rate. This money will be returned when we lose The other railroads stopped charging the illegal rates at that time instead of following the Louisville and Nashville and have lost as compared to the Louisville and Nashville millions | dollars. The state comes along in seven years and exempts the Louisville and Nashville from it's debt. The Louisville and Nashville therefore does not pay for charging illegal rates, and as compared to the losses of other railroads the Louis- vile and Nashville and associates are paid S2,0o0,o00 or more for acting Illegally
 Other States Involved
 And who can tell about the freight rates" continued MT. Brown. Why the states of Tennessee and Kentucky were looking to Alabama to stand pat. This deal, therefore, involves three states and amounts to millions and millions of dol lars. If the railroad commission says that so and so is fair rate, the Louis ville and Nashville can say we don't think so and let's try the cases again for seven years. That is rather pretty pie ture to have held up before the world as affecting the people of this state in the eyes of the nation. I have seldom read of such an outra geouS compromise as this one. It is the most astonishing thing that has taken place in this state for years''
 Mir. Brown during the day dictated a more formal statement on the subject as follows:
 'The action of the state officials in the so-called settlement of the railroad rate victory for the railroads and an ignomin- ious and tremendously costly surrender of something like M,500,OO0 in coupons very largely held not only by travelling men and business men generally, but by a large part of the travelling public. in cluding many who can't afford to lose even this amount. It may look good to the railroads, but decidedly discouraging to those who lose it.
 Must Be Fought Over

City Now Plans to Keep Paved Streets Flushed
 at It's Own Expense
NEED OF SPRINKLING
 IS ADMITTED BY ALL
Doctors Point Out It's Menace to Health--Think Householder and Not Property Holder Should
 Be Taxed

To lay off the residence portions of the city in zones and sprinkle the streets of each zone according to the wishes of the residents thereof appears to be the pres ent leaning of discussion Of the proposed sprinkling ordinance. The occcupants of the homes in each zone sprinkled whether they be owners or tenents, will then be assessed with the sprinkling tax.
 Commissioner James Weatherly, who has the embryo sprinlding ordinance in charge, stated last night that he and the other commissioners did not feel 1t would be just and equitable to assess sprink- ling tax on the residents of n neighbor- hood if those residents didn't want their streets sprinl<led.
 Therefore, the zone system is being brought forward with the idea of making the whole matter neighborhood affair something like the city beautiful move ment, a matter of civic pride as well as cleanliness, health and comfort.
 Compulsory Tax Opposed
 Citizens talked to in regard to the proposition yesterday were inclined not to favor an arbitrary sprinkling tax on
  some places which evidently did not need sprinkling, such as side streets which had very little travel and which could be easily kept In shape by the use of lawn hose.
 The need of sprnkling is admitted by practically everybody, such things as health, comfort, civic pride. aid to house. wives in keeping houses clean and other things being mentioned. Physicians of the city are strongly in favor of 1t from the sanitary standpoint.
 MT. Weatherly said in all probability they would flush the downtown paved streets and the paved streets of the resi- dence section at the expense of the city. The flushing proposition, he said, appeared entirely separate and apart from the sprinkling. He indicated that there was a certain obligation on the part of the city. after a street Is paved, to keep 1t clean, and in such shape that 1t can be used with decent degrees of service and com fort
 The sprinklng then, he said, would be ordered in the zones in which good pro- portion of the residents signed q petition requesting 1t. Thus the neighbors in q section could get together and ask for the sprinkling and award a contract for their sprinkling to someone of their own neighbors. if they desired. and pay him direct the tax imposed, except that all the work and collection of the tax be done under the supervision of the city.
 Idea Is Good, Says Oliver
 George C. Oliver, well known insurance man, said that he was very much In favor of the general sprinkling idea. For those people living on the thoroughfares where there is much travel. the idea Is very good" he said. "The zone system, it seems to me. is just and equitable. There is no doubt but what the tenant of a property should be taxed, and not the landlord. The man who lives on the property Is the man to pay the tax, no matter if he be tenant or owner.
 'In Oakland, Cal, believe 1t was that sometime ago l saw municipal vacuum
