WHO SCORED?

Police officials were wondering last night whether B. Alden Thompson, the real estate man, had joke on them ol whether it was vice versa. Tine con sensus of opinion seemed to be that MT. Thompson had scored
 S. H. Brown, the policeman on the beat on Twenty-first street discovered Mir. Thompson's office at s22 North Twenty-first street, open and a safe inside with yawning doors. He hastened to a telephone and notified Mir Thomp- son.
 "Aw.' said the latter sleepily, LAW well, close up the safe and shut the door," and MT. Thompson hung up to the amazement of the policeman.
 Brown, being a conscientious officer was in quadary. It was an unprec- edented experience for him. So he de- cided to seek counsel of a brother po- liceman. Naturally he selected George Harvill, acting desk sergeant.
 Harvill, also being a conscientious of- ficer, after considerable cogitation came to the conclusion that MT. Thomp. son had not completely grasped the situation and decided to give him an- other chance. So he again telephoned the news to MT. Thompson.
 "Is that so?' was the latter's some what ruffled rejoinder at being awak- ened the second time. Well, there s nothing in that safe so close 1t and the office, and don't bother me again. j
 This Is what caused the policemen to speculate: at least, it is their version approximately.

 The other changes, as announced, fol- low:

.ENSLEY RAIL MILL ID OPERATE A WEEK Will Resume Monday-TwO Hearth Furnaces To Be
 Blown In

The rail mill of the Ensley steel plant of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company as well as two open hearth furnaces will resume operations Monday. making four open hearth furnaces in operation. Official announcement to this effect was made yesterday by the ex- ecutive offices The rail mill has been down for the past 10 days with no in- dication until yesterday as to when op- eratfons would be resumed.
 In line with the policy of the Tennes- see Coal, Iron and Railroad company to speak frankly as to it's plans it was made plain that the resumption was for only one week, so far as the officials could say at this time. The resump- tion will cause quite a large number of men to resume work, and will be the source of considerable qualification in this district. 1t is believed that soon after January 1 there will be announced orders which will provide steadier op- erations at the rail mill. In the mean- time, the open hearth blooming mill and the blast furnace division have been un- affected by the short time work at the rail department. The resumption Mon day will be only on the day turn.

FAMOUS CASE RECALLED Christmas Greeting From J. F. Shipp, Former Chattanooga Sheriff

Christmas greeting received yesterday by local friends from Capt. J. r. Shipp, former sheriff at Chattanooga, recall the famous contempt case against Captain Shipp in which he was sentenced to jail for contempt of the United States su- preme court It grew out of the lynch ing of negro at Chattanooga when Captain Shipp was sheriff. His case at tracted nationwide interest and his in carceration in Washington was made the basis for newspaper articles in all parts of the country Captain Shipp, to friends, says in Christmas card:
 ''When my ship lay stranded on the banks of the Potomac it was your en- couragement that kept her afloat.
 When in prison you visited me and by your precious messages of sympathy gave me courage to bear unjust incar- ceration with a cheerful heart and un- broken spirit. Now from a peaceful an- chorage on the Tennessee at my coun- try home Lookout Place." under the shadows of Lookout mountain, I extend to you my grateful remembrance of your encouraging words during the holiday season of 1909-10 when so much needed them. Most sincerely,
 'J. F. SHIPP, Ex-Sheriff.

Seven Keys to Baldpate''

Seven Keys to Baldpate' is the un- usual title of the latest farce Cohan & Harris will present at the Jefferson theatre Christmas matinee and night and the following day matinee and night, with the original New York and Chicago cast of players. It is com bination of farce, satire, mystery, thrills, melodrama and a thousand laughs, all made into the best play that has so far come from the prolific Conan pen. To quote William uallo- well Magee, the hero of it all. Seven Keys to Baldpate" is wild, thrilling tale for ''the tired business mans tired wife" Glasses after fortune, crook ed politicians double crossing each other and a charming adventures who triple crosses the lot of them.
 It is all very interesting. MT. Conan has clothed it with mantle of mys- tery that makes the advancement of the plot a thrilling tale indeed and for good measure he has punctuated 1t with many laughs.
 There are plenty of good seats for both matinee and night Christmas and the following day that have not been sold.

CHANDLER SAYS THE 1. & N. IS PLANNING
 b|G SHOPSAT bOYLES
Quotes Executive Officers As Saying $1,OOO,0OO Will Be Spent If Town Is
 Not Incorporated
( Per Cent Interest on Savings
 Compounded Quarterly

That plans have been drawn for the con- struction of shops at Boyles by the Louis xille and Nashville railroad, involving more than s1,000,000, was statement made here yesterday by F. G. Chandler, who quoted an executive officer as having made the statement here a few days ago. Mir. Chandler said that the plans had been arranged and that they would be carried out unless a few persons at Boyles sue ceeded in Incorporating Boyles at an eec- ton to be held January 5. Mir Chandler said that the Louisville and Nashville management had gone to Boyes in order to be out of the confines of an incor- pcrated town and had made that section of Birmingham extremely valuable, and the ownership of land there highly profit able. He said. however. that few men at Boyles wanted to incorporate the place and that the Louisville and Nashville was very much against such a step.
 ''rhe Louisville and Nashville has now plans for building car shops at Boyles for the manufacture of steel cars, which will involve over s1, ,000000," said MT. Chan dier yesterday. "B. M. Starks, general manager of the Louisville and Nashville, told me this last week when he was in Birmingham. However, MT. Starks told me positively that this would not be done if few men at Boyles persisted in their plans to incorporate the place. The company is a very good friend to this district, and l sincerely trust this additional $1.OOOOOo will not be lost to this community.
 The plan to incorporate Boyles is op- posed by George B. Tarrant, pr. F. I. Tarrant and others interested in various holdings in that section. I am informed that only few persons are interested in Incorporating the place."
 It was added that the Louisville and Nashville shops at New Decatur were exempt from the incorporated town, and 1t has been made plain to local persons that if the town of Boyles is incorporated the new shops here will more than likely be erected in Decatur. Local men inter ested in the advancement of Boyles are working very hard to persuade those in teresting themselves in the incorporation movement to abandon that plan in the interest of the general advancement and upbuiding of the community in which the Louisville and Nashville should nat urally play very important part.
