LARGE DELEGATION
 | ID HEAR ARGUMENT IN B. R. 1. & p. CASE
Many Interested Parties Journey to Montgomery to Be Present at
 Rate Hearing

Montgomery, July 17.-(SpeciaD Attorneys and others interested in the case of the Birmingham Railway, Light hearing of their application to raise heating rates in the city of Birming- ham, have already begun to arrive and by the time set for the hearing in tho morning, it is believed that the dele gatIon will closely resemble the num- Der in attendance at the famous rate cases during the Conner regime .
 Last July the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company made appli- cation for a raise in the rates charged for heating and after an exhaustive hearing in which both the company and the citizens of Birmingham were ably represented the public service commission decided against the light company. Last month the light com pany made application for a rehearing of the case, which was granted and the trial set for tomorrow at 10:30 o'clock
 The light company was represented by Tillman, Bradley & Morrow at it's former hearing, while the city of Bir- mingham and the citizens were repre- scented by Moore & Sadler
 Another case which has attracted wide attention is the applica tion of the Montgomery Light and Traction com pany for an increase in the fare on the Pickett Springs line to 10 cents This
 is the line which runs between Mont gomery and Camp Sheridan and it is believed that citizens that live along the line as well government officials will oppose the raise. The line is five miles long and extraordinarily poor service was given during the stay at Camp Sheridan of the Thirty seventh division. which is now overseas The Ninth regular army division is now in course of organization at the camp and it is the idea of the car company to get the increase before the 0,000 men get to the camp.

U-BOATS ATTACK
CLINT TROOP ship
PIRATES STRIKE AT U. 8. TRANS
PORT LEViATHAN WITH 10000
TROOPS ABOARD.
RECRUITS COOL DURING CRISIS
German Government Offers VerltabIe
Fortune and Great Honors to
U-Boat Crew Who Sink Her.

Durand, Mich.-An eyewitness ac-
count of an attack by three submarines
on the United States transport Levia-
han, formerly the German Veterland,
The largest vessel a1oat, which was
seized by the United States upon entry
mt othe war, and the destruction Of
two Of the U-boats by United States
destroyers, is contained in a letter
from Captain Charles A. Harmon, of
Durand, to his son, Sergeant Carl A.
Harmon at Camp Custer.
Captain Harmon Is in the motor
mechanics division Of the aviation
corps, now safely in France, while his
son is a member of an ambulance com
pany.
The Leviathan carried 10000 sol
diers on that particular trip and every
precaution Of camoufiage and zig-zag
navigation was employed to protect
her from the submarines, since the
German government is said to have
offered veritable fortune and great
honors to the commander and crew Of
the U-boat that succeeds in sinking
her.
Recruits Cool in Crisis.
Most of the men aboard were raw
'ecruits," says Captain Harmon, "but
when the emergency came the constant
drill and training told and not man
disobeyed orders. Twenty hours from
our destination, at daybreak, we picked
up our destroyers In a bowling gale.
They came swooping at us out of a
rain-squall like flying fish. Boy! They
looked good. They are little, long,
low intrepid devils-all engine and
wickedness. We were tearing along at
high speed, trusting to luck not to hit
anything, but those little devils curved
and circled and rig-zagged around us
as IL we we're at anchor.
Even with our thousand feet OF
length we could hardly keep our feet
on deck, but they, with their 200 feet
or less were simply doing the impos-
sible. Seas too high to ride they dove
through, actually disappearing at
times. And when, in their circles,
they fell into the trough, they took
a list that would make your heart stop.
They carry two spars about so feet
high. On top Of each is a crows nest
With a man in each watching for peri
scopes. The gunners are lashed to
their guns. They must be amphibious |!
The ride those crows nest birds took

too. II was too rough for subs, but
we were pitching over the bones of
the Lusitania and hundreds of other
good ships and the destroyers were
taking no chances.

SPARROW HAWK GETS CANARY
YeIIow-Feathered Songster Escapes In
City From Cage and Falls
Prey to Hawk.

San Francisco.-A Chinese woman
and her three little children came
marching proudly up Kearny street.
They carried a cage and canary.
At Commercial street the door of
the cage came open and the bird flew
out. II lighted on a wire overhead.
Pedestrians gathered around and
helped the woman and the children
try to coax It down.
The canary hoped about and defied
them for while. Then all of sud-
den Il futtered down toward the walk.
But II was not quick enough. Before
II alighted a sparrow hawk swooped
down from somewhere and grabbed 1t.
There was squeak and fiutter Of
wings almost within reach Of the peo-
ple on the sidewalk. Then the hawk
with its prey few down Commercial
street and was gone.
