consequently placed a quarantine

Horsey weighed 125 and Brewer
1876.
Tom Wilson added five more
points to the saphs score when he
threw Ernest Wilson, in the heavy
weight wrestling bout. He got the
first two falls but had more trou-
BILE in getting his namesake s shoul-
ders on the mat than he did with
Bratton. E. Wilson weighed 164
and T. Wilson 1852.
Much interest centered in the
boxing bouts and two of them were
exciting. In the lightweight bout
mike" Fidance, the crack quar-
terback of the football team, best
ed Miller, freshman, although the
latter had the advantage of IL
pounds in weight. Except for the
first round, Fidance forced the
fighting and kept Miller covering
up and running away most of the
time. DR.. Charles H. Blake, who
refereed the boxing bouts gave the
decision to Fidance.
The middleweight boxing bout
was stopped in the second round
when w. O'Daniel, the sophomore
entry, dislocated his thumb. Davis,
the freshman was given the decision
! IO'Daniel weighed 129 and Davis
1877.
The heavyweight boxing bout be-
tween Smart, a sophomore, and
Lauritsen, freshman, furnished
some excitement and both boys
were well tired when the four
rounds were up. The referee gave
it draw. Smart weighed 1877 and
Lauritsen 161. Both were bleed
ing at the end of the fourth round
Lauritsen from the nose and Smart
from a wound that Lauritsen open
ed over his left eye.
In the tug-of-war the sever
freshies pulled the sophs nearly
out of the building and thereby
captured the meet. The contest
ants in this final event were Crea

The question of whether railway com panis must arrange absolute connections at junctoin points with 30 minutes as the maximum wait will be threshed out before the state railroad commission at Montgomery today. The proposition has aroused unusual interest in railroad cir cles and the indications were yesterday that practically all of the local rail- road men Of prominence will be at the meeting today.

 The railroad men will make a Very determined effort to persuade the rail- road commission 10 rule that each in dividual connection should be decided and handled on its own merits. The blan- Eet arrangement of requiring all roads to maintain connections is said to be impractical.
 At this time the railroads have sys- tenn of advising junction points of the humber of passengers on certain trains and 1t is said the through passengers are always protected.
 The railroad commission has been asked to order connections made at everN--junc- ton and enforce blanket order. This step is said to be injurious to the gen-

 MT. Cornatzer said yesterday that he preferred not to discuss the connection case as to junction trains which vii come up today before the state railroaJ commission. He said the company was willing to do everything that was con- sstent to take care of the connections rot only from desire to serve the pub lie efficiently but on the further reason that money was made thereby and the roads needed the money.

FAIRFAX HARRISON
 WILL bE HERE TODAY Guest of Honor at Southern
 Club Banquet Tonight INTEREST IN VISIT
Expected to Outline Intentions of the Southern Railroad in His Speech Tonight-Over 300 Men Will
 Attend the Banquet

The visit here today of Fairfax Harri- son, president of the Southern railway, and all the allied lines of that company. is expected to be of more than passing interest. He will be tho guest of the Chamber of Commerce at a banquet to be given tonight at the Southern club which function about 500 citizens will attend. The affair is open to members of the Chamber of Commerce and the replies to invitations has been very grat- flying.
 Aside from the fact that MT. Harri- son appears here tonight as the city's guest is the belief that his speech to- night at the banquet will be far the most interesting statement he has made since becoming chief of the Southern Railway company. He succeeded w. w. Finley, who won the lasting gratitude of all southern people by his wide influence exerted for this section of the country Mr. Harrison when he assumed the pres ideney of the Southern indicated that he intended to carry out fully the pol icies Of his late chief as regards pro- noting the interest of this section. He has made no speeches in the state ot Alabama nor given any very extended interviews. It Is the opinion of many that MT Harrison will in his speech tonight indicate very specifically his opinions about the general business sit uation and what the Southern intends to do.
 MT. Harrison has visited Birmingham once since becoming president of the line and was forced to cancel his trip south on account of tho death of Sec retary Langford, at whose funeral the president was a pallbearer.
 On his trip here during the early part of this year Mir. Harrison was a guest of w. w. Crawford and Robert Jemison. Sr, both of whom are directors of the Alabama Great Southern, at a dinner at the Country club. The new executive made a very lasting impression upon the few business men gathered there by his remarks which were not made public
 1t is believed that Mr. Harrison will lend all of his influence to bettering Birmingham and promoting the general prosperity of this section. On this ac- count his visit to Birmingham today as .sumes more than unusual interest The banquet tonight is the first ever given to an individual railroad president by the Chamber of Commerce.
