NEW COAL CAR ORDER
 WILL HELP RELIEVE
 SHORTAGE SITUATION
Commerce Commission Orders That Cars Must Be Returned to Owning
 Lines When UnlOaded

The decree of the interstate commerce commission that the coal cars of south ern railroads should be returned as soon as emptied was received warmly by Bir- mingham coal operators The embargo that the Louisville and Nashville and the Frisco have placed on equipment has re- lieved the situation slightly, they state.
 'The order of Commissioner McCord that coal cars shall be returned when emptied to the owning lines will help considerably J. l.. Davidson. secretary of the Alabama Coal Operators associa- ton, said yesterday. Tt will mean that thousands of coal cars will come into this territory to serve the shippers here.
 'It would be hard to estimate how many more cars this decree will place at the disposal of the coal operators. On Oc- tober 15 figures were produced to show that more than 10000 coal cars, belonging to. southern railroads, were being he'd elsewhere. While all of these will never reach Birmingham. good number of them will be available.
 "The inquiry at Louisville is still pro ceeding and may last 10 days longer
 More cars were ordered by railroads last week for delivery in 1917. The South ern railroad placed an order for 1913 gcndola cars with the Pressed Steel com pany and is building 1500 cars in it's own shops

CIVIC BODIES TO
 BE REPRESENTED
 AT CONFERENCE
Organization of State to Take Part in Meeting of National
 Chamber

Alabama commercial organizations will take a prominent part in nationwide discussion of the railroad situation at special meeting of the national1 coun- cil of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States to be held in Washing ton next Friday and Saturday. More than 800 trade bodies. members of the national chamber and representing every state in the union, have been called for the conference. The national council is composed of one representative from each of the numerous organizations compos- ing the national chamber.
 Birmingham will be represented by the Chamber of Commerce and the Real Es- tate exchange, Montgomery, Brewton. Bridgeport, Gadsden, Grand Bay and Huntsville by their Chambers of Com- merce. and Mobile by the cotton ex- change.
 The occasion for such an urgent call is the fact that the railroad joint con gressional committee of which Senator Newlands of Nevada is chairman, be- gins hearings at the capitol November 20. The committee will have to do with all phases of railroad regulation and also relations between railroad managers and employers.

COMMISSIONER TRUSS WILL
 INSIST ON ORDINANCE IN
 REFERENCE TO CLEMENCY

course has grown in such proportions that it will be necessary for the Br- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany to put on additional cars to ac- commodate the crowds next Sunday.
 The conductors on the Idlewild line state that the business yesterday was the biggest in the history of this line. People get on and the first thing they ask is whether or not the car takes them to the site of the municipal golf course" said one of the motormen of the Idle wild line. There seems to be an un- usual amount of interest in this golf course. After we get to the end of the line they always ask where the course will be laid out, and if they are on the citys property. It is necessary for the crew of each car to be up on al! the details concerning the public golf course.
 "One man who said he was from some town in Indiana came out to see the golf course last week and talked all the way out about it. The conductor talked until he was tired and then the stranger came out on the front platform and gave me a cigar He had no sooner done this than he commenced to ply me with questions about this course. told him it was against the rules to talk so he just asked ques- tions. Every now and then I would nod nfv head, yes or mo- and occasionally give him some information He walked all over the place when he arrived at the park and remarked that the spot was ideaf- When tltis golf course is finished we will be forced to operate several more cars on the Idlewild line than we do now"

BEGINNING OF WORK ON GOLF COURSE CREATES
 WIDESPREAD INTEREST
Hundreds Out Green Springs Park Yesterday Look Over Site-Contour Map Made By Engineers Turned
 Over to Golf Expert

Hundreds of people rode out to Green Springs yesterday to view the land upon which the municipal golf course will be built.
 The announcement that preliminary work had been started on the course by c. w. Hall, golf expert, who will lay off the links, caused the Idlewild street car to be crowded the greater part of yesterday.
 The interest in the golf course is at it's height. People from all sections of Birmingham went out to Green Springs park yesterday to get better idea of the location of the course.
 Fully 1000 citizens either rode out on the street cars or motored to Green Springs. The street car line ends within 1O0 feet of the beginning of the Green Springs property, which is owned by the city. This property has been placed at the disposal of the citizens of Birming ham for the purpose of building golf course and beautifying the grounds gen. erally.
 A very complete and comprehensive contour map has been made by Engineers Meade, Totten and Nicholson. This map is now in the hands of C. w. Hall, who has already started preliminary work on the course.
 Green Springs consists of 115 acres of land. The golf course will be 3450 yards for the first nine holes.

Equipment is being rapidly provided and several long hikes have been planned for the next week. Col. R. F. Steiner be- lieves the regiment will be ordered to the border as soon as the equipment has been delivered. This indicates that the time of the regiment in Montgomery will be numbered by weeks if not by days. The final equipment should be provided in two weeks.

GULF STATES STEEL
 SMASHES RECORDS
Earnings and Shipment of Finished Product for Oc-
 tOber Show Big Increase

Gulf States Steel company common scared to 132 at the close Saturday. Dur ing the past week, it advanced more than $50 share.
 Behind the rise, there is naturally a reason, for it is generally agreed that the Wall street followers do not trade haphazardly.
 The real reason for the spurt Is shown in the October statement issued in New York Saturday. All records, both as to earnings and shipments of finished prod- ucts, were broken. The net operating in- come was $364, All, an increase of $10S, S,29S over September, 1916, and $260,S16 over October, 1915. The net income, after mak- ing due allowances for depreciation, taxes and reserves, was $335, 2l5.
 In September the Gulf States company made 8 new high monthly record. The October earnings were s1o6,0O0 greater
 The wonderful boom that the steel in- terests are now enjoying is evident For the 10 months to November 1 of 1915, the net income from operations was S451, ,0O0 For the correspond;ns period of 1916 the totals went to $l,945,0
 The Gulf States company is running without any bonded indebtedness and no floating debt. It has $u ,000,0oO of out standing capital stock upon which divi- dends are being paid at a rate of ' per cent on the $2,O00O00 of first preferred; 6 per cent on the 100000 second preferred, and per cent on the $5.0O0,0O0 common. The second preferred stock is converti- ble into at the option of the holder.
 The common stock would bring, ac- cording to current earnings, 7S per cent dividend

Resolutions Require Report to Commission When City Prisoners Are
 Released
FREED MAN CHARGED WITH SERIOUS CRIME
Commissioners Barber and Truss May Air Differ ences as to Handling
 Their Departments

What promises to be one of the most months is scheduled to take place to- morrow.
 While no matters of great importance are set for consideration. it is thought that Commissioners Barber and Truss will indulge in some shots" at each other regarding the handling of their re- spective departments.
 Commissioner Truss will ask for action OF his resolution offered at last Tues days commission meeting, requiring MT. Barber to make a detailed report on every case in which he proposes to ex- ercise clemency. The resolution calls for this report to be made to every member of the commission previous to the time the prisoner is released It will be re- membered that Commissioners Truss and Barber took part in a heated argument last week on account of negro, Scott Thomas, being granted a parole after having served 90 days of his sentence, which called for total number of 2S0 days
 The usual practice in such cases is for the cOfl1nlSSlOner or puDLc SaIety 10 grant clemency to a prisoner. release him, and then have the commissioners vote on his action at the next commits sion meeting. The commission has al- ways unanimously voted for the indorse=. ment of any action taken by Mir. Barber regarding the prisoners.
 The contention of Commissioner Truss is that this practice is not right and that MT Barber should make a detailed report of what the prisoner was con victed for how long his sentence is, and why he should be granted clemency. He bases his argument on the fact that Scott Thomas, the negro who was released, had committed serious crime and that if he (Mr Truss) had known the details of the crime for which Thomas, was con- victed he would have never voted to ap- prove Commissioner Barber's action.
 MT. Barber charged Mir Truss with hav- ing foremen on his street gangs who were not humane It is thought the two commissioners will be frank in saying what they think is wrong with each others department. While it is general ly known that the majority of the com mission will try to prevail upon MT. Truss and MT. Barber to settle their difficulties in an executive session, 1t is not thought they will succeed in their efforts

 At the service yesterday the speaker took as a text the seven parables in the thirteenth chapter of Matthew. He showed that Christ spoke all these par ables in one short sermon, not over 15 minutes long. These parables repre- fl om it's beginning On the day of Pen Htecost till it's ending at the day of Judgment. Christ, standing upon the summit of his divine presence, looked bforward and saw the conflicts, trials Hand triumphs of his church and with \ la master hand portrayed them in tAis |series of parables.

The second par Fable--the tares and wheat-represen5 Rthc conflict between truth as sown Hoy the apostles and the tares of false khood sowed by wicked men.

BIRMINGHAM PEOPLE SPEND DAY IN OPEN
Ideal Weather Sent Crowds to Woods and Parks.
 Avondale Zoo Fav0rite

The weather man smiled favorably on Birmingham yesterday after threatening showers in the early morning hours. The drifting clouds after releasing a light sprinkle. passed away before a brisk southern breeze and let the full rays of an autumn sun spread over the city.
 It was indeed an ideal day and thou sands of Birmingham folk took adyan- tage of the summer-like weather to spend the afternoon outdoors. Automo- piles were called into service and hun dreds motored out upon the country high ways to get breath of pure country air perfumed by the odor of the autumn wood with it's dying leaves. The roads were fine, the dust of the past few weeks having been settled by the light showers of Saturday night and yesterday morning.
 Again, there were others who, not being fortunate enough to motor out into the country, spent the afternoon strolling in the woods surrounding the city. There were many of these parties, composed largely of young people, who chased over the woods, gathering autumn flowers and picking nuts from under the hickory and chestnut trees.
 Picture shows did good days busi- ness, although the downtown crowds were not as large as on other Sundays when outing is less inviting.
 No place in or out of the city was more frequented than Avondale park and zoo. The crowd were numbered by the hundreds. The rustic appearance of this park makes it favorite resort.
 The zoo proved to be the great at traction. Crowds of men, women and children marched around the wire netting to get a glimpse of the various ''pets' Again Miss Fancy, The Age-Herald ele- phant, led in providing entertainment and amusement. Her most ardent ad- mirers are the children. who are never more amused than when Miss Fancy is in the mood to entertain them with her many accomplishments and tricks. Dur ing the afternoon Miss Fancy was literally rewarded by the children who fed her many bags of peanuts.

 Many of the Assailants Succeed in Making Escape

A wave of crime overswept the city yesterday and Saturday night and as result two negro women are dead, two men fatally wounded and one seriously injured. All are negroes. The crimes were widely separated as to locality and had no connection with each other. In two instances women were the assailants, cases, with one exception, the causes that led to the killings and murderous as- saults were of trivial nature.
 With one exception all the assailants made their escape and at late hour had not been apprehended. The police au- thorities could assign no special reason for the bloody record.
 The following crimes were committed in the past 24 hours:
 Bessie Humble, negro, 2506 Alley E, was stabbed in the left breast with knife at o'clock yesterday.~evenin by Jamie Moore at 2904 All rE and died a few minutes afterwa5& Jamie Moore was arrested on the Seene of the murder by Special Officer James R Daley and lodged in the Northside city jail on a charge of murder.
