AUTO BUS MEN
HAVE PROTEST
Want City to Reconsider Re-
routing by the Way of
State Street

Dissatisfaction with the present
routing of the various bus lines OF
the city came to a head last night
when a petition, signed by all the
bus owners. was submitted to the
Board of Aldermen for the recon-
sideration of the ordinance passed
recently ordering the present route.
The petition stated hal the route
now covered by the buses was
harmful to both the operators of the
motor transport and to the travelling
public and further. that no good is
accomplished by the revised plan.
The communication called attention
to the fact that fewer passengers
are picked up along the new way,
and that in many cases not enough
is derived from a trip to
pay the expenses of the run. When
it is considered that during the slack
times of the day many trips must be
made at a loss, the bus owners point
out that they cannot continue much
longer in business unless the former
routing is readopted. ,
1t was claimed that the recent
mode of operation auses many
working men to be delayed in get
ting to their occupations, and hat
numbers of them were compelled to
leave the buses at Smith and State
streets and walk to the ferry in or
der to get the boat or time. On sew
eral occasions. it is said, the occu-
pants of the machines have been
loud and insistent in their demands
that the former route be restored.
The recent ordinance governing
the streets to be covered is as follows:
Buses leaving the city operate
north on State street to Broad street.
along Broad to Division on along Di-
vision to New Brunswick avenue.
Entering buses run north on State
street to Broad. along Broad to High
and along High street to Smith street
thence to the bus station at the foot
of Smith street.
The petition was referred to the
committee IN buses for considera-
ton.

Montgomery December 10.-(Spe-
cial)-Mrs. Charles Gabriel. who fired
one shot into the head of her hus-
band. causing death instantly, SAT-
urday afternoon, refused to talk about
the tragedy when she was placed in
the county Jail to answer a charge of
murder. The couple had been mar
ried only a few months. No material
information regarding the cause OF
the shooting has been obtained by the
police.
Coroner J. J.. Diffy has started a
general Investigation. Mrs. Gabriel
made no effort to conceal the fact
that she fired the shot when ques-
toned by the coroner. Domestic
trouble dating almost from the time
of marriage is supposed to have
caused Mrs. Gabriel to seize a pistol
and fire the one shot. which entered
the head and inflicted wound caus-
ing death at once.
The shooting occurred In the Ca
briel apartment at 321 Madison ave-
nue. When police arrived the body
of Gabriel was lying in a crouched
position beside the bed and Mrs. Ga
briel was in the room. She became
hysterical and was unable to answer
questions. A .3S pistol, from which
the bullet was fired was delivered to
the police.
Mrs. Gabriel was first taken to the
police station for examination, but
later was transferred to the county
jail. where a charge Of murder was
placed against her. Gabriel was en-
ployed as a flagman on the Western
Railway of Alabama and only re-
turned yesterday from run to At
