Special Judge Arthur Brown, who

Cunningham and Richard f. Hunley.
seeking to break the will Of their
mother, Mrs. sa1Ile e. HURLEY, or
dered mistrial yesterday after "a
hours elaboration by the jury. The
o'clock Thursday morning.
The case was begun Tuesday when
the will was contested on the grounds
that Mrs. Hunley was not mentally
responsible at the time the will was
made Mrs Hunley. who dieG<in July
had placed her estate, vNued at
100000, in trust for her two chill

Several ThousandCars
30 ught by Southern,
Majority Coming Here
With Supply Down to 35 Per
Cent, Railroad Officials De-
clare Situation Will Show
Steady Improvement From
Now On
Tho cry for cars {. undated.


How 1t has affected the Birming-
ham iron trade is illustrated In
paragraph from news item on the
iron market in the New York Jour
nal of Commerce of Wednesday.
which says: One New Jersey melter
ordered 5s cars of Alabama iron last
July for immediate shipment and so
far only seven cars have arrived, one
rolling in at time"
There is no denial of the shortage.
1t is agreed that the supply on the
Southern railway has dwindled to
35 per cent. In this connection 1t
was learned yesterday that the
Southern had bought several thou
sand box cars for october delivery
and 1t Is stated that the major por-
ton of them are. en- route to Ala
bama.
The Southern railway shops were
slow in getting back into shape, it
is understood. but 1t Is claimed that
theJ are now In a good way to make
repairs at an increasing pace. Rail
road officials admit the situation.
but claim 1t will be bettered from
now on.
In the matter of repair of South
ern railroad cars at shops other than
those of the company, attention has
been called to the order of the war
labor board which runs contrary to
the farming out of repairs. The
farming out OF repair work, 1t is re-
called by railroad men, was one of
the causes leading up to the disaf-
lection resulting in the strike
Rebuilding Permitted
Il 4.
order of the war labor board is not
shops other than those of the rail-
roads. 1t is held that rebuilding
comes under TIE same head as build
ing and that, therefore. 1t will be
allowed to be done in shops other
than railroad shops when the condi-
ton of the car Is such that II is to
be rebuilt rather than repaired. There
are those who claim that coolies" of
cars are so far out of repair that
rebuilding Is the term to be ap-
piled,
ton has been made to the officers
of the Southern railway and will be
considered by them.
Getting cars form the east is not
so strenuously advocated as It has
been because the east is in the same
fix as to cars as the south. Youngs-
town, Ohio, steel mills are so short
of cars that they have decided to
pile no more products pending bet
ter supply. The Republic Iron and
Steel company announced yesterday
that owing to the car shortage it
had been forced to shut down eight
of its 16 sheet mills at the Niles
plant and other curtailments are in
vogue for the same reason.
The car shortage Is not denied. 1t
is nationwide. It is agreed that the
burning question is how soon each
section of the country can catch up
on car repairs. building cars and re-
building them.

President McLendon stated yester-
day afternoon that he did not know
whether he would be able to get the
commissioners together this morning
or not, with view to taking up the
thread of the auditorium matter He
said he hoped that this would be pos
sible, as he wanted to close the mat
ter as quickly as possible.
Mr.. McLendon stated that 1t was
still his hope to dispose of the audi
torium before taking up the budget.
Law requires that the budget be pre-
pared during the month of October.
and it will take some time after it is
brought up before 1t will be finally
settled. 1t is, therefore, imperative
that the commission get on this mat
