The ruling of Judge Grub was
taken upon the application of Lee q.
Bradley, receiver of the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company, in
which the financial conditions of the
pany were fully set forth.
The action of the federal court,
which has full jurisdiction over the 10 ..
cal street railway, was taken when the
financial showing set forth that de-
spite the fact that fares had been
raised from cents to cents, there
had been an actual loss In revenue and
income of the company While a
small part of this loss was chargeabie
to the business depression, the greater
part was credited to the less occa-
stoned by the unlimited operation of the
pany, in some instances, this competi
ton being over the streets constructed
by the car company.
In addition to the increase of
1 cent in car fare which the
/ ceiver was authorized to ask the
public service Commission for, the
FEDERAL court authorized him TO re-
quest the right to ask for an ex-
ira charge of cents for each
transfer granted. In making this
decision the court held that only
One-fifth of the passengers of the
company requested such transfers
md that 1T was not right to ask
those who made no use of this
right to maintain the losses of the
company.
While the receiver of the company
was evidently very loath to ask for
the adoption of the coming system. this
matter was considered by the court
The plan in some cities calls for q
charge of one full fare for each three
miles and a double fare for over that
amount up to six miles Another sys-
tenn calls for one full fare for each
two miles with 2 cents additional
for each mile added. Thus, Ensley
Would pay at leastN12 cents and Fair
field not less than Is cents. Bessemer
would pay rs cents and East Lake
about Is cents
Property Values
This system, while it would bring
ample financial relief to the receiver
was not recommended because of the

 Mrs. Horn is the widow of the de- ceased, and Hollingsworth had been making his home with the family for a short time prior to the death of MT. Horn.
 Friends had the contents of Horne's stomach examined by chemist, and while 1t is stated that no poison was found and the evidence against the accused was circumstantial. the mat ter was investigated by the grand jury and an indictment returned.
 The grand jury returned 104 true bills, but more than half of these were for violating the vehicle li- cense law of the county.

MANNING NOT YET
 NOTIFIED HE IS TO
 REPRESENT STATE

Greensboro, September 30.-(Spe- cial.)-The news has been sent from Washington that Alabama is to be represented at the burial of Americas 5 unknown soldier" by sydney E. Manning, formerly a corporal in the One Hundred and Sixty-seventh U. s. Infantry, the winner of the Con gressional medal for valor overseas. MT. Manning is at preset vocation al student in Greensboro. and he has received no intimation of the honor said to have been conferred upon him. He is in every way worthy to be thus singled out to represent Ala bama during the impressive cere- monies incident upon the burial of Americas unknown soldier"
 Mir. Manning bears today the marks of his heroic conduct overseas and still suffers from the nine wounds he sustained during the war. He is as modest as he is brave, and never speaks of the terrible occasion when at the death of his platoon commander and platoon sergeant he took charge of his platoon, which was near the center of the attacking line. Though himself severely wounded. he led forward the B men remaining in the platoon, and gained foothold on the enemy position, during which time he had received more wounds and all but seven of his men had fallen. Directing the consolidation of the position, he held off the enemy, only 50 yards away, by fire from his automatic rifle He refused to take cover until the lima had been entirely consolidated with the line of the platoon on the flank, when he dragged himself to cover, suffering from nine wounds.
 All of this is officially recorded, though MT. Manning is 10th to speak of this heroic conduct on his part; and grateful government cannot shower too many honors on this brave soldier
