MAJ. ObEAR DENIES
 CRUELTY CHARGES Wife Under Sinister Influ- ence, Is Alleged in An
 Swer to Cross Bill

Maj. William G. Obear filed answer yes- bill of his wife, Mrs. Legree H. Obear, who is seeking an absolute divorce and custody of their children, alleging cruel and inhuman treatment on the part or her husband. She also alleged non-sup- port.
 In his answer Major Obear denied the charges made, asserting that he had never been guilty of cruel or inhuman treatment. He further maintained that he had contributed to the support of his family and that he was able to support his wife and children by his own exert ion.
 MajorObear in his answer charges that his wife is under the sinister influence of Dr. L. A. Fealy, head of the Altrurian society, and that by reason of these in fluences slrs was prejudiced against hin and was ready to throw him overheard in order that she might be more readily induced to part with her money and estate and give them to Dr. Fealy. who he alleges, has already received large sums of money from her for his propa- ganda.
 He further denies that her property is worth as much as she claims in hei cross bill, stating that $60O00 would be a correct figure, and claims that her in- come has been greatly reduced by waste full and foolish gifts to pr. Fealy and the Altrurian society.
 The matter is now an issue before the court and the taking of testimony will begin as soon as the court appoints a commissioner and due notice to the op posite party is given.

MAY BUILD COAL TERMINALS.

The railroad administration now has under consideration the installation of coal terminals at Mobile with capacity to take care of larger tonnage of ex- port coal and equipment for unfolding and loading coal at the rate of 1000 tons an hour. This would put Mobile on a par with Norfolk. Perth Amboy. New Orleans and other ports through which coal is exported.
 There is also under consideration, with the probability of early consum- nation, the formation here of an ex- port coal corporation to handle all the export coal from this district. It is planned to engage man with long ex- perience and expert knowledge of the export coal business to take charge of the business of this corporation when organized.
 Local coal men who mine a grade of coal suitable for the export trade are understood to be back of this move ment which, it is said, gives every promise of becoming a reality at an early date.
 The programme mapped Gut for this corporation provides for the inspection of every ton of coal offered for the ex- port trade. and none that falls below the standard required by the foreign markets will be allowed to pass through the port
 In the language of one of the opera ] tors. this precaution will be taken with the view to not only building up a foreign trade but of holding it once it is established We not only want to book first orders" he said. but we want repeat orders and we cannot ex- pect this unless we give them the best we have, and we intend to do this" The highway to be built by the coun- ty will pass through Epsley and follow generally the ridge to within about . three miles of the Short Creek termin- als. veering off to the right there to reach the terminals.

The Warrior river committee an-
 nounced yesterday that shares of
 the capital stock in the Port of Bir-
 mingham corporation were now
 ready for sale and that the public
 is invited to subscribe for it.
 The authorized capital stock Is

 par value of SIO0, 15O0 shares be-
 ing offered to the public at the
 present time.
 President Oscar Wells of the

 at which time organization will be
 perfected.
 Plans for building the Warrior river terminals at Short creek are progress ing in a very satisfactory manner, it was stated yesterday by members of the committee in charge of the matter.
 Oscar Wells. president of the First National bank, who was authorized a few days ago to make certain investiga tions relative to the organization of the port of Birmingham corporation, states that this work is being pushed with as much speed as circumstances will per init and that he expevts to have the re- quired information in hand in short time.
 Charles F. Wood chief engineer of the Warrior river development committee, leaves for Washington this morning for conference with the railroad adminis- tration with reference to the authoriZa- ton of joint rates for the territory above Tuscaloosa, against which an embargo was established at the time the joint rates by way of the Warrior were an- nounced two or three weeks ago.
 TO BE A PORT OF ENTRY
 While in Washington he will call upon the secretary of war for the purpose of securing an order making the port of Birmingham port of entry.
 While on this trip MT Wood will visit the plants of derrick and crane manu- featuring companies for the purpose of inspecting cranes and other apparatus for the Warrior river terminals, and to select the type or types best suited for use there
 The government has been requested to dredge the basin at Short creek, thereby making it's use as a turning point for boats possible. The government engi- neer in charge of the Warrior river has authority to deepen a basin further up the river, and it is believed that upon a. proper representation he will be given similar authority with reference to the Short creek basin.
 "The committee has done all that it can,' said MT. Wood yesterday. "and the rapidity with which the terminals are built and put in condition for use de- bends upon the business men of Bir- mingham. Practically everything that can be done up to the actual beginning of construction work has been done, and the next important thing is the raising of the money necessary to pay for ma terials and labor
