ALABAMA, TOO, HAD
 TREE-CLIMBING DOG

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 So much publicity is being given the Georgia coon dog that climbs little sap lngs, it might lead people to think that Georgia has Alabama beat on coon dogs We had one of the most marvellous dogs been for his tragic end I believe he dog, named Damon, used to lead the pack in all races. One night we had six dogs and struck a hot coon trail Damon soon treed the coon up leaning tree, and, of course, the other dogs gathered around. When we reached the tree everybody was excited and nobody thought to check up the dogs. The moon was shining brightly. but the trees were, thick, Somebody spied something moving the leaves about % feet from the ground, grabbed the gun and shot at the moving leaves thinking whole fam fly of coons were there Something hit the ground so hard be thought it was a. bear; the dogs grabbed it but soon tucked their tails and skulked away.
 A light was struck and there lay Dam- on, shot to death. We built a fire and tried to do all we could to alleviate his sufferngs, but just as day broke the soul of this noble coon dog passed to the happy hunting grounds, where all coon dogs go. If anybody from Missouri doubts this dog tale I will give bond to furnish absolute evidence to prove it. Yours for Alabama coon dogs.

WANT DANGEROUS Z CURVE ELIMINATED
The Residents of Fountain Heights Present Petition
 to City Commission

Two hundred residents of Fountain Heights have presented a petition to the city commission asking that the curve at Eleventh avenue and Thir- teenth street be eliminated. The peti tion follows:
 We, the undersigned citizens of Bir- mingham, and residents of Fountain Heights, respectfully petition your honorable body, to straighten out Thirteenth street. north, at Eleventh avenue, north.
 We respectfully represent that the hill between Eleventh and Twelfth avenues, on Thirteenth street, is very steep, and that said street lcurves, and that street cars coming South, down the hill, find it very difficult to turn east at Eleventh avenue on account of the curve being so sharp. The street there is very narrow, and people in vehicles of all kinds, in going either north or south, cannot see a suffi- cient distance ahead of them to pre- vent accidents. Southbound street cars have, several times, left the track at Eleventh avenue, and have run onto private property and struck a house, just south of the curve on the west side of the track
 ''This condition, we respectfully rep resent, constitutes menace to the lives and property of the citizens in that community, and to those who visit the citizens of that community.
 We are reliably informed that the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company, has, at sometime in the past, bought property just north of Eleventh avenue and east of Thirteenth street for the purpose of straightening out the tracks, at this point, but, for some reason. Of which not inform a1 this action has not been taken.
 "We fear that if Thirteenth street and the car track at Eleventh avenue are not strengthened out, that some ca tastrophe will occur at that place, which is useless and avoidable"

0F RATE CASE GRANTED
Chancellor Whiteside Con- siders Application of Attor-
 ney General FavOrably

Montgomery. December 1-(Special) Chancellor w. w. Whiteside of the north eastern ohancery division, today granted the application of Attorney General Will liam l.. Martin for the reinstatement Of the preliminary injuction restraining the Louisville and Nashville, Alabama Great Southern and Southern railroads from cancelling preferential rates on raw ma terial consigned to furnaces in the Bir- mngham district.
 This preliminary injunction, which was granted by Chancellor w. k. Chapman of the southeastern chancery division on Septemh CT 28, was dissolved in part by a decree rendered by Chancellor Whiteside at Anriston last Saturday.
 Attorney General Martin applied Tor reinstatement of the injunction on the grounds that the state mas given notice of an appeal to the supreme court, and that 'the rate which respondent will be permitted to cancel, and that which will be come effective after such cancellation, differ so greatly in amount that the en- forcement of the class commodity rates will be greatly injurious to the shipper
 The attorney general then showed that rates on some material would be increased from 9S0 per cent to zS65 per cent, ac- cording to the distance hauled. The in crease of these industrial rates would be as follows: Coal 75 to 140 per cent; coke, '55 to 1S3 1-3 per cent; limestone 9S0 to 1856 per cent, and iron ore 490 to 675 per cent.
 In granting the application of the at torney general Chancellor Whiteside said:
 q am of tho opinion that this cause is a prorer one for the reinstatement of the preliminary injunction upon the appeal of the complainant to the supreme court of Alabama
 The injunction will be relnstated as soon as notice of appeal has been filed and will remain in force pending the decision of the supreme court

Government Presents Plea For
 Dissolution of Pacific Systems

ing this litigation. The Central and the Union Pacific railroads were built under these laws. which provided for the con- struction of the Union Pacific from og- den west and of the Central Pacific from Sacramento east. The acts provided that the transcontinental line thus built should be operated as one connected line.
 The laws provided that the continuous line should be operated without discrim- ination against either the Central Pacific or the Union Pacific, but since 1883 the Central Pacific has discriminated against the Union Pacific and continues to do so. From all points north of Tehachapi pass the Central Pacitic-Unon Pacific route via ogden is the shortest to the Atlantic seaboard and the west central states. The shortest distance by the Ogden route from San Francisco to New York is S49l miles, but by the Fl Paso-New Orleans route and thence by water to New York the distance is 4425 miles,
 By the Ogden route the distance from San Francisco to Cincinnati is 255s miles: by the New Orleans route 1t is S3a3
 But the attitude of the Southern Pa- cific since 1885 has been to send as much as possible of the California traffic through New Orleans rather than through Ogden.''
 Mo. McClennen explained what he con- sidered the reason for this discrimna- tion against the Ogden gateway
 "On through traffic from New York to the Pacific coast by way of Ogden he said, the division of rates is as fol- lows: % per cent to the lines east of Chicago, 15 per cent to the Chicago Omaha lines and SO per cent to the Union Pacific-Central Pacific jointly. Of this 60 per cent, 54 per cent goes to the Union Pacific and 46 per cent to the Central Pa cific.
 Thus if the traffic is routed via Ogden the Southern Pacific, through it's owner- ship of the Central Pacific. gets only 4e per cent of 60 per cent of the total tariff, If the traffic is routed by way of New Orleans and the Southern Pacific steam ship lines. the Southern Pacific gets all the rate. The motive to discriminate against the Central Pacific route thus is clear.'

ANNUAL BANQUET 0F THE AC|PCOY '. M. GA.
Two Hundred and Fifty Guests Are Present.
 McWane Presides

About 250 members and guests were present last night at the banquet held on the second anniversary of the Acipco 4- M. c. A. which proved most pleas and and enjoyable occasion. In at- tendance were a number of the direc- tors of the central Y. M. C. A., ,<and other branches, which included Robert w. Ewing, W. D. Tyler w. M. Cosby. Hudson Hopson, George Estes, MT. Hury, MT. Anderson and others The programme included musical numbers by the West End quartet and the Acipco brass band (colored), and talks by the heads of the several de- partments of the American Cast Iron Pipe company and some of the guests.
 J. R. McWane presided and made the introductory address, in which he bade all welcome. He referred to the prog ress and increased efficiency made in the plant during the past two years which he attributed largely to the spirit of cooperation that prevailed between the company and its em- ployes, and said that the Y. M. c. A. and other endeavors along the lines of so- cial welfare work had been quite a factor in bringing about the improved conditions.
 The chairman introduced George Es- tes, director of the central Y. M. c. A, as the first speaker. MT. Estes made a fine address, which many though he marred somewhat at the close by the injection of local political issue. Among the other speakers were MT. Hury of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company's Y. M. c. A. Dr. J. P. Hanna of the Acipco medical service, Charles Hoglan of the pipe shop, William Fisher of the machine shop, Happy Swanson of the foundry, Borden Burr, Jake Rush, Douglas Beatty, A. H. Smith, A. J.

JANE ADDAMS ILL AT
 CHICAGO HOSPITAL

Chicago, December 1.-Jane Addams, settlement worker and peace advocate, was taken to the Presbyterian hospital today suffering from fever which it was said was severe but not critical. The exact nature of her illness has not been determined.
 Dr. James D. Herriek said that her illness is not serious.
 Miss Addams had not been feeling we'll for several days. Whether her condition will prevent her from accompanying the Ford peace party abroad depends on de- velopments.
 Last Sunday night Miss Addams ad- dressed meeting on the subject or peace and the Ford peace ship in particular She was frequently applauded and after one outburst she remarked smilingly:
 q thank you for your applause for after I sail on the Ford ship I probably never shall be applauded again.
 After the meeting Miss Addarns ex- plained to friends that her remark was based on knowledge that the Ford mis- sion was unpopular ''in certain quar- terS, ,'

St, Louis, December 1.-The government side of the suit to separate the Central Pacific railroad from the Southern Pacific was presented to three United States dis trict judges here today, sitting as the district court for Utah, by Edward F. Me- Clennen of Boston. He will finish his ar guments tomorrow. when also Garrett W. McEnerney will open the defense for the Southern Pacific company.
 Judge Walter H. Sanborn of St. Paul, William c. Hook of Leavenworth, Kas., C., compose the court.
 Mir. McClennen was diverted from argu- ment today when Judge Hook inquired what was the position of the govern ment toward an ownership of railroad by another line when ownership had been effected before the passage of the Sher- man antitrust law in 1890 The Central Pacific was acquired by the Southern Pacific company in 1885.
 MT. McClennen cited decisions of the supreme court in the Standard Oil case and the trans-Missouri rate case to up- hold the governments contention that Congress could prohibit such ownership of railroads even though effected before the antitrust law became effective.
 'The position is clear" replied Judge Hook. ''in regard ito the conduct of a business in contravention of the Sher- man law, but what about ownership ac- quired before the law was passed?'
 MT. McClennen then cited the decisions in the anthracite coal cases and others as indicating what position he thought the supreme court would hold in a case like the Southern Pacific ownership of the Central Pacific.
 "A contention of the defense in this case" he said, lis that the government is stopped by the Pacific laws from bring
