WONDER IFUNCLE SAM
WILL PROBE THIS TRUST

Should the Sherman law be in
voked In the case of Celestine Bah
cock and George Rankano.
They have formed q corporation
and q trust and the articles OF incor-
poratton we're written by Dan Cupid
and sealed By Justice Richter, Mon
day morning.
Celestine and George run moving
picture theaters In Grand Haven.
Each II the proud owner Of 'sthe best
show In town" The opposition has
been terrific. When one secured q
Mary Pickford aim. the other would
get Q George Anderson. In one ran
q feature OF the Alaskan wilds the
other secured q feature OF the trop-
les. II one gave china dishes to the
lady patrons, the other gave tinware.
Each employed youthful scouts to
report on the business of the other.
Opposition costs money. Neither the
ater was making fortune. The two
proprietors began to seek sympathy
from one another, but both refused 70
give up the fight.
They figured on various methods
whereby both might live and let live.
The methods were not satisfactory
and all the time the attendance was
not up to expectations at their re-
spective show houses. Celestine had
any number Of youths plugging for
her, and George had the village belles
working for him.

riers In harmony with the designs Of
these said consbirators and free from
the effects OF competition
II h alleged that the New Haven
forced rival steamship lines to enter
into Q trafic agreement on threats OF
ruinous competitive methods. Con-
tinuing, the indictment then says:
The said conspirators were to In
duce and compel such sales of cap
ital stock. such leasing OF properties
and facilities. and such making Of
contracts and working arrangements,
that, after said conspiracy should be
IN part accomplished. the accumula-
tion OF power arising from the con-
troll OF some common carriers would
enable them to grasp the commerce
rightfully and normally belonging TO
the remaining common carriers and
TO drive such other common carriers
out of such commerce except as they
would promise to engage under terms
to suit the New Haven's."

THE STEEL SUIT IS
DRAWING T0CLOSE
Understood Final Testimony
Will Be Given in Chi
cago Today

The introduction of testimony in be-
half of the Steel corporation in the suit
of~the United States against that con-
Germ will probably be concluded today
in Chicago before John Arthur Brown
assistant examiner in that hearing. In
formation to this effect was privately
conveyed to interested persons here last
night. The hearing is to be in Chicago
today. After leaving Birmingham evil
dence was taken in ST. Louis, New Or
leans and Chicago.
The end of testimony in behalf of the
corporation will signal the beginning of
the end of the case. The government
has been through for some months and
the Steel corporation side of the case
has now been heard. It is believed that
the case will be ended before February /.
After the evidence is adduced the attor-
neys for both sides must write briefs,
which will require some weeks, and the
case will then be submitted to the court
of appeals The examiner in this case
refers the testimony without any recon-
mendations to the court.
After the court of appeals secures the
briefs, the judges will read them and a
decision given, after some oral argu-
ments If the court of appeals should
find against the Steel corporation the case
will go to the supreme court for final
adjudication.

WEATHERLY TALKS
ON WADUCT MATTER
Railroads Are Cooperating
With the Commission
CRITICISM is UNJUST
Believes Work on First Avenue Via
duct Will Begin Within Three
Months - Apportionmen of
Cost Principal Detail

The tendency of Birmingham people tn
criticize instead of help each other was
made the basis OF mi-philosophical
interview yesterday afternoon by City
Commissioner James weatherly with the
grade crossing problem of the city as his
main topic.
Mr.. Weatherly by way of Introduction
remarked that representatives of the rail-
roads had been to see him and were CO.
operating with the commission in every
way in regard to the First avenue VIA
duct adding that he believed actual work
would be started on that structure within
another three months.
1--WE have been working steadily on the
viaduct proposition for many weeks" said
Mr.. Weatherly. "and right now when 1t
seems actual work Ia about to be started
upon one unit of the general plan, with
the railroads apparently doing every
thing they can to cooperate with us.
criticism bobs up in our own ranks; We
are charged with doing nothing with the
viaduct matter. and with having appar-
emily dropped the general grade crossing
elimination scheme worked on so long by
the city engineering department.
Now why do people do such things?
They are probably not as intentional as
they are incidental. Unless we all Work
together we are never going to get any
viaducts or subways at ALL When the
situation does not appear right to any
citizen. no matter whom he may be, why
doesn't he come here to us and ask US
about it; let us exchange views with him.
we may get new idea or he may get
one At any rate that would be so much
better than for each man to get his own
idea about the situation and then instead
of seeing whether he's right or wrong or
getting the other mans viewpoint, fly Oft
on a tangent and perhaps delay or hinder
the whole thing.
I'VE are going to get the First avenue
viaduct as the first unit of the grado
crossing plan now very soon II we can
keep down internal dissenson. After that
we are going to get the Twenty-first
street viaduct. | have already talked
to some OF the railroad men about thin
and they are favorable to 1t as soon a.
they get up the First avenue viaduct st
Twenty street. After the Twenty
first street viaduct then he will take up
something else and so on, unit by unit.
we will work out the whole general
scheme Just as originally laid out by the
engineering department.
"The principal detail to be settled In
the First avenue viaduct now Is the ap-
portionment of the cost. But this WIZ
soon be done There is a conferences
scheduled on this matter now
'"rhe whole question Is largely mat
ter OF cooperation between the city OF
ficials, the citizens and the railroads and
the closer we can cooperate the sooner
we will get the grade crossing problems
of the city solved"

PUBLIC LIBRARY TO
GET PATENT RECORDS

Several hundred volumes of United
States patent office records will be trans.
ferred from the government building on
Monday and taken to the Birmingham
public library. The books are handsomely
bound In fine leather and excellent,
printed. They contain the drawings and
specifications of all the patents filed Ii
the United States patent office.
The books will probably prove a val.
liable addition to the library, as al the
details of any United States patent car
be learned through this medium. owine
to the lack of space In the government
building the books have been stored In
the attic for years and were pra etically
unavailable to the public, The transfer
was authorized by the government al thu
solicitation of Maj. Charles Allison, clerl
of the United States court

COMMISSION MAY
MEET BUT ONCE A WEEK

So far as could be gathered from indi-
cations yesterday. the meeting of the city
commissioners at o'clock this afternoon
will be nothing but routine. The Avenue
street car franchise matter and other
propositions of Importance have not been
taken up yet by the commissioners since
the police probe.
A movement to hold but one meeting a
week instead of two may be started
within the near future by members IF the
commission. The lesaI phase Of the
question has not been carefully looked
into, but such step would meet with
some favor If 1t is proven legal 1t is
argued that it would lend dignity ana
efficiency to the meetings of the commits
sion to have one a week instead OF two.

Miss Hutchison, it is stated, viii take
a similar position to- the one she helo
here In Springfield, ILL., She has oeen con-
neeted with the Birmingham city welfare

was considered very efficient. Mrs. Sea-
right is out of the city and nothing has
been done concerning a successor to Mrs.

POSTPONEMENT OF
FORMAL OPENING
Of SOUTHERN CLUB
President Smith States That
Delay of Week Has Been
Found Absolutely
Unavoidable

President T. Q. Smith of the Southern
club announced last night that it had
been found absolutely necessary to post
pone the opening of the remodeled club
for one week. The opening had been set
for tomorrow night, but Colonel Smith
announces that it will now be held Satur-
day evening, January 81 This means also
that the dinner parties and other events
scheduled at the club for tomorrow even
ing will also be postponed. All reserva-
tions made for tomorrow will accordingly
be held over for the following Saturday
unless notice to the contrary is given.
The opening had been arranged to give
the members an opportunity of inspect
ing the handsome additions made to the
club, and the artistic remodeling and re-
decorating of the entire interior. Those
who have seen the results of the recent
work at the club assert that it has been
made into one of tho most attractive
clubhouses in the south.
I'VE regret very much that 1t has been
necessary to delay the opening" said
Colonel Smith last night, but we found
it would be impossible to have the eleva-
Tor equipped in time. With so many of
the members and so many ladies present
we did not want to attempt to use the
elevator until it was properly enclosed.
Some of the tables have also been de-
1ayed but everything will be ready for
January 81.
we regard 1t as unfortunate to have
to disappoint so many who had planned
to come Saturday evening. but we feel
sure they will approve our course in view
of all the circumstances"

FRISCO TO EXTEND
TELEPHONE LINES
Wires to Be Strung From
Amory to Memphis.
To Cost $4,000

The Frisco line will, at an expense of
$4,000 extend it's telephone wires from
Amory Miss, on this division, to Mem
phis. The company has wires at this
time for telephone service extending to
Amory This was learned yesterday after
the arrival in Birmingham of A. D. Teed,
superintendent of telegraph for the Frisco
lines The new line will be 125 miles long
and will cover the entire southeastern dis
trict. Work is expected to start with
out delay.
The Frisco management at this time has
the most extensive telephone dispatching
equipment of any line operating into Bir-
mingham. The service has proven to
be SO satisfactory that the company is
anxious to extend it just as rapidly as
possible.
The telephone is considered far supe-
rior to the telegraph in efficiency by
the Frisco officials as 1t gives personal
contact between the various station men
and reduces the risk Of mistakes or ac-
cident.

Expects Building to Be
Completed Soon

f. A. Wells of New York and Chicago,
head of the firm of Wells Bros, con-
tractors for the Tutwiler hotel, and the
RidgeIy apartments. was here yesterday

ly every floor of the two buildings and
pronounced the work in fine shape when
asked for statement later. Mr.. Wells
believes that the Tutwiler hotel will be
completed and opened during the early
part of the summer, while the Ridgely
apartments will be ready earlier. He con-
ferred with Robert Jemison, Jr, after
looking over the work yesterday and the
two officials agreed that everything was
progressing very satisfactorily.
birmingham will soon have one of
the most attractive hotels that 1 have
ever SEEM said Mr.. Wells. '"rhe utill-
zation of sufficient ground to give air
and light to the building will serve to
make the Tutwiler a hotel of appealing
characteristics. 1t will be easily the fore
most hotel in the whole south. I believe
the work will be completed in April or
earlier. The other detail work will re-
auire only a short time to finish.
LAS for the Ridgely apartments | think
that building will be one of the best In
the country of it's kind. The plans in
dicate an apartment house that will COM
pare with any in the SOUTH
Mr.. Wells said that he was very glad
to have been able to secure two pieces
of construction in this city at the same
time as it enabled him to get a close view
of a city in the south of which he had
heard constantly.
Mr. Wells was shown around yesterday
by John w. Harris, in charge of the
local work.
