 CUTTING EXPENSES
Closes Substation - New Furniture Arriving for
 Federal Building

One of the first steps in cutting down the operating expense at the local postoffice was made yesterday when the parcel post station on Nor ris avenue and Nineteenth street was closed. Announcement to this effect was made yesterday by Postmaster R. B. Smyer.
 The station was established more than year ago and has done big business ever since 1t was opened according to postoffice officials and was closed only because there is suf- ficent room in the new building for this branch.
 Plans are being made to move with In the next few weeks, MT. Smyer stated and car load of furniture and fixtures arrived in Birmingham yesterday. While small portion of the furniture has already arrived this is the first car load lot to be received and as soon as tile remainder arrives officials state they will move into the handsome new structure.
 Reduction in the cost of operation has also been made by the reorgani- zation of the motor service and in various other ways. according to MT. Smyer. We are cutting where ever we can without. impairing the ser vice." he said and are managing to save a few dollars here and there. All we ask is that all employees give their best efforts to this work and al- low us to do away with so much overtime"

CORONA COMPANY
 OBJECTS ID RATE
Asks Interstate Commerce Commission for Ruling
 on Coal Shipments

Advlces from Washington are to the effect that the interstate commerce commission has received briefs of the Corona Coal company in It's case pro- testing against being charged more on coal from it's mines when going down the river than is charged river bank mines.
 This case was filed in January and oral testimony taken in May. The commission then asked for briefs in the case and these have just been filed, The brief mentions the fact that H. T. DeBardeleben, coal operator, is also manager of the Warrior trans- portation, but admits that the charges of handling coal from sipsey mine, which is not on the river, are the same as for handling Corona coal, which Is not on the river. The coal that comes from MT. DeBardeleben's Payne Bend mine, which is on the river, takes the river rate as other river mines take.
 The Warrior transportation interests have represented that a higher charge IS naue TOT naHuunS coal coming from mines not on river banks be- cause it costs more to dump from cars into barges than from river tipples made for dumping into bar ges, etc.
 Another case before the commi ssion, in which the river management is concerned is its own petition for a larger division of rates on freight handled jointly with railroads.

Frank " Evans Tells Some Early History of Memorable Session of Board of Mayor and Aldermen Where
 Action Was Taken About Superintendent
By FRANK V. EVANS

Hendersonville, N. C., July 30.-- Special. )-This invigorating atmos- phere, beautiful scenery and daily poultry products from the rich farm lands of western North Carolina, could not afford this under complete happiness without daily messages from dear Birmingham which prompt ly came through The Age Herald.
 And yet there is sorrow mingled with this gladness. Three of my warm personal friends have passed away at home since my sojourn here; each of whom I shall sadly miss on my return. Louis Schillinger, with his smiling countenance whicE greeted me on the street; Kirk Jack : son, at his post in the bank, and pr. John H. Phillips. Each of a different type, but alike my friends, whose absence l shall deplore.
 The passing away of Dr. John II. Phillips recalls to my mind some
 thing of the early history of BIr- mingham. It was in 1883 when Hon. A. G. Lane was mayor of the city. controlling it's affairs with the assis- tance Of eight aldermen, two frofd each of the four wards There was no board of education; therefore the mayor and aldermen controlled the infant public school system. Mayor Lane, with clear vision and fore. sight, having thought of big future for Birmingham and her public schools, sought the services of a modern and progressive head for the schools Hon. G. w. Hewitt was then congressman from our ditrict. and his service was obtained in look

One-Legged Prisoner Jumps From MoUing>Train, Escapes From Searching Officers

until they had gotten to Calera. Then McDougalI said he was hun gry, and asked the deputy 10 get him something to eat.
 Reeves was perfectly willing 10 accommodate his prisoner, so put ting him in charge of another of- ficer who was on the train he went out to get a lunch. He had just gotten back to his seat, and the other officer was reading a paper. when the train started Neither was paying any partic- ular attention 10 the prisoner.
 All at once a lady sitting across the aisle called to the officer that the one-legged man was es- caping. Reeves looked up Just In time to see McDougall sliding out the window, and to hear the sound of his peg leg pumping the side of the train. The train had started, and Reeves pulled the cord to stop it.
 When he got off. it happened he found the chief of police of Calera at the station, and call ing to him they both started chasing the man. He was no- where to be foundt Mysterious1y and all at once he was gone.
 The officers searched all Fri day night and part of yesterday morning, but the one legged prls- oner had run too fast for them. At noon yesterday Reeves arrived at the courthouse with the suit case belonging 10 McDousall, but without the prisoner,
 The manner in which the escape was made is still unknown The only possible explanation Is that McDougall orawled under the train, and rode the rails to the next stop. Reeves admitted yes terday the laugh was on him.

Deputies in the sheriffs office gre willing to take off their hats to Frank McDougall, even If at the same time they are hot on his trail. McDougall has ac- compiished a feat that has been seldom equaled in the history of Jefferson county criminality, and the force at the sheriffs office Is willing to give him due credit.
 The story started last January, when Jefferson county grand jury returned eight indictments against the man charging him with burglary and grand larceny.
 Before time for trial, McDou- gall managed to escape. Moth ing was heard of him until sew sral days ago when Sheriff ]. c. Hartsfield received notice from the chief of police of Mobile that . suspicious and dangerous char acter had been picked up. in that city, and asking If he knew any thing about him.
 Sheriff Hartsfield found the de- scription of the man tailed with that of the escaped McDouRall. and after further identifying him. sent b. A. Reeves. one of the deputies to get him. He was duly turned over to the deputy by the Mobile authorities and the two started on the return trip.
 Reeves had been advised to put handcuffs on the man, but he laughed at the idea. Mc- Dougall has only one leg, and Reeves said he knew no one legged man ever lived who could get away from him. Things went smoothly on the train and Mo- Dougall sat quietly in his seat

 On invitation of Mayor Lane Pro- lessor Phillips came to Birmingham to look over the field He made a good impression upon one element of our citizenship, but another ele- ment, not quite reconstructed, fought the idea of importaing man from Ohio to teach the young of ambi- tious and growing Birmingham, so there was contest. When the eventful night came for choosing a superintendent by the mayor and al- dermen, 1t was raining, dark and gloomy; there were no street lights, no paved streets and walks. When the hour came for calling the board to order there were only seven all dermen present-the eighth, the ven erable MT. T. l.. Hudgins who was known to be Phillips man, did not answer to his name. Those present stood as follows: The mayor ant three aldermen (this writer amonl the number) for Phillips; four al. dermen against him. By little fili- clustering the vote was not taken until there was tap at the door and in walked Alderman Hudgins, with lantern in hand. The vote was then taken and stood: The mayor and four aldermen for Phillips and four aldermen against him.

Not of the Usual Sort.

A woman who had lived in a GER
tain country town to an age at which
her friends had scarcely assumed that
she was likely to forsake her spinster-
hood, suddenly surprised them by an
nouncing her engagement to local
bachelor who was considered rather
eccentric. 4 friend of hers took II
upon herself to express some little
surprise at the engagement, and when
the iuncee replied: But what is 1t In
him you don't like?" answered: "Oh.
don't dislike him at all; it's only
that everybody thinks him--well, not
exactly eccentric, but. at any rate,
rather singular In many of his ways"
"That may be-" replied the prospec-
tive bride, but then, as he Is so very
unlike other men, he is surely more
likely TO make a good husband."-
