HERE IS REAL
JAY WALKING
Huge Footprints On Fresh PAY.
ing Saturday Night Evidence
Jay Walking.

Real Jay Walking was exhibited in
Columbus Saturday night.
1t wasn't the cutting the corners
kind, but real honest-to- goodness Jay
Walking. A number of persons delib-
erately walked across the fresh paw
ing on South Market Street, and caus-
ed much damage and trouble to the
paving and to the contractor.
The trespassers left their big foot
prints as CHASTITY evidence of their
Jay Walking qualities, and Mr.. H. c..
Terry, the contractor, had to send a
force Of men to the scene shortly after
midnight and repair the damage, for
it was raining, and more serious dam
age would have resulted.
A policeman was stationed ON the
scene, and hereafter the fresh paving
will be more closely watched, and per-
sons walking on it will face a fine in
the mayors court.

Forty.two Years Of Loyal, Eff
cient and Faithful
Service With The "Old
Reliable" Ends.

Mr.. Taylor is much part of the

His personality has radiated the spirit
cf the "Old Relible" in every station
between its terminals. The friendly
relationship of the road and its pa
irons, begun by the beloved Ed. Rus
sen, was continued and broadened and
strengthened by him. The roads en-
pioyees loved him because they knew
he was fair, and in the great period Of
re-adiustment now approaching, they
hoped he would remain at the helm,
confident that all would be well with
the road and with them. 1t is too
early to know what is behind 1t all
now. But suffice to sayyft is regret
ted by the people of this community.
It is understood that Mr.. F. G. Ran
dali viii continue as General Super
intendent, with headquarters in Md
bile, and Mr.. C. A. Pigford will re-

age, and had been a member Of the
Senate since 1907, He had been in
feeble health for months, and had
been confined to his bed for nearly a
month. His condition had not been
considered serious, however, and un-
til today his physicians had reported
him steadily improving.
Senator Bankhead died shortly be.
fore one o'clock this afternoon at his
residence on Columbia Road. He had
been i'll for several weeks and his ill
ness weakened his heart, which caus-
ed death.
The Senate adjourned as a mark Of
respect as soon As Senator Bank
heads death was announced in the
chamber.
Senator Underwood, Democrat, an
nounced to the Senate the death of his
colleague. Declaring that Senator
Bankhcad had been "the foremost fig
ure in the State Of Alabama for
luarter Of century" he eulogized
the dead statesman as one whose ca

character, probity. and devotion TO
duty, and said that his death removed

up to visit him several weeks ago at
his invitation, to help arrange for the

making a series of calls to the White

mission.
A slight cold, contracted during his
journeying about, grew worse, but
his condition was not considered Sc
ricus by his family, or official asso-

the road to recovery. His heart, how
ever, weakened by the strain, gave
way today and he died at one p. m.

TALMUD TORAH FOOTBALL
TEAM PLAYS.

About two thousand spectators wit
messed well played game of foot
ball Sunday, October 3rd, when the
Talmud Torah team representing the
Social Service Department of the
Talmud Torah met the strong Noko-
mis- players at Minnehaha field, and
during the entire game of splendid
football neither side was able to-
cross the others goal line.
With the exception of the first
quarter, the Talmud Torah team out
played their opponents in all depart
ments of the game. But for two
fumbles at an inopportune time the
game would have ended in well de-
served victory for our boys.
Some of the principal features OF
the game were a fifty yard return of
a kickoff by Ben Rivkin, the carrying
of the ball by Louis Segal, B. Rivkin,
Mike Cohen and M. Shapiro, and the
punting Of Mike Shapiro.
"A great deal of credit for the splen-
did showing Of the team in it's initial
game is due to Louis Gross, who is
attending the University Of Mime
sofa and Zallie Levin, who has ma
circulated at Carlton college. Both
are devoting considerable time in
coaching the boys in preparation for
their games.
Considering the showing made
against so formidable an opponent in
their first game, the friends and the
institution which they represent antic-
ipate that they are on the way to a
high place in the city league.
The team as composed at present
are: M. Cohen (Capt.) R. E.; J. Gold
varg, r. T.; E.. Rosenfield, r. T.;
Katz, r. c.; L. Slacter, c.; M. Hork.
