LITTLE NEW YORK STORIES
 BY A BIRMINGHAM MAN
By ALLEN GRIFFIN JOHNSON

New York, July 24.-(Special)-C. L. Wood of Mobile entered the Hotel Mar r;n:que, Broadway at Greedy Square, las Saturday morning-so he said today-with an inflamed eye, the drum of one ear an intense anger, an umbrella and a broken rib. The rib chanced-fortunately to belong to the umbrella.
 T was In Birmingham at the worst of the recent flood" he declared, and while 1t was bad enough, I had rather go through it any time than to attempt a walk down Broadway on a rainy day Navigation here is far more difficult My eye was almost punched out by pretty womans umbrella, while a man ran an other into my right ear. Trying to cross Broadway and still keep myself reason ably dry I was nearly run down by an automobile truck. and was forced to re- treat to the sidewalk twice before I final ly made the crossing.
 Its bad enough on day like this, he continued, but hereafter on rainy days when I am in Manhattan, I shall re- main in the Martinique grill. It's wet enough there-I don't mind that-and though it may not be safe to finger long in such localities, I'd rather risk it than a trip along Broadway"
 Mobile is also represented here just now by Mrs. A. Pearson. who is at the Sar Rafael.
 The following, which appeared in the New York Times this morning, may serve to bring some of the Birmingham fellows to this city in hurry: 'Wanted-Goot looking men and boys for photographic fashion work

Suggestion for Writers

Quackenbos' recently published book. was written, says the author. after he had given himself literary suggestions at night to take effect at waking. This has been pr. Quackenbos' habit for many years and in this way he has written many addresses, poems and important pa pers Others he says, have been in- spired by him to work along this line during sleep, and thereby have reached conspicuous results. One well known au- thoress according to pr. Quackenbos, has trained herself to go daily into the auto-suggestible state at Il o'clock; and what she suggests to herself material izes at the end of an hour of cosmic ac- tion in the form of short stories, novels, and plays which have. brought her large financial returns.

COUNTY TREASURER
 ENDOWED BY ORDER
 OF JUDGE GRUbB
Alleged Failure of Shelby County Authorities to Meet Payment on Loan From
 Detroit Bank the Cause

On application from G. W. I. Smith,
 a representative of the Wayne County and Home Savings bank of Detroit,
 Mich, United States Judge William |.
 Grubb issued an order yesterday morn
 ing restraining Joe S. Bird, treasurer Of
 Shelby county, from disposing of the
 sum of SIS 5000 now in the county treas
 ury, pending the hearing on perma-
 nent injunction of August g.
 The application for permanent in- junction comes as the result of the all legged failure of the authorities of Shel-
 by county to meet payment of $10.000 due on last February 1, on a loan bor-
 rowed from the Detroit bank in 1905, and which money was used to defray the expenses of constructing the court house at Columbiana.
 In speaking of the case MT. Smith said: Tn 1905 the officials of Shelby county borrowed $115.0o0 from the | Wayne County and Home Savings bank of Detroit, and every annual payment was met without hitch until that of last February We immediately brought suit in the state court and the su- the county was valid but it provided no 1 means for us to collect our money. 1 We then appealed to the federal court. "Our contract with Shelby county was that a special tax of A of 1 per | cent be levied to meet the necessary | annual payments. This year Shelby county, instead of levying the tax for | the payment due, levied it for roads | and bridges, and it is this money which | is at the present time in the county | treasury that we desire to tie up Shell l by county still owes about $5O,000 of l the principal of the original loan.''
