 l5,OOO TONS RAIL
 FLORIDA LINE
Other Substantial Orders Believed Pending For
 Local District

The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Rail road company has been awarded an or der for 15,OO0 tons of steel rail by the Florida East Coast railroad. It was announced that the order, valued at approximately $750,OOO, is to be fol- lowed by additional tonnage require ments within a few days. The rails will be used for replacement during 1925 on the noted line, some distance of which is built over the water at Key West.
 This order, together with others given to the Tennessee company during the past few weeks places the booking of the company at a highly satisfactory figure, according to unifficial 0bserv- for the week, which is expected in all parts of the, country, to be one of the largest on record.
 There is pending now railroad, or deFs aggregating $2O0, 100000, all of which involve steel tonnages in a vol tune unapproached in n single period during the past 12 months. The aggre- gate is said to be due to the hesitation during the greater part of 1924 to start a buying movement. The result is that plants have been operating in the east at 40 to 51 per cent as a maximum dur ing the summer and now are expected to find 1t difficult to fill impending re- quirements on time.
 The tremendous orders which are ex- pected to be awarded will include those of the Southern railway, Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard and others who are ac- customed to giving this district a fair amount of their business, and include cars as we'll as rails,

g ARE BITTEN BY RABID DOG
 IN AVONDALE
All Of Injured Persons Have Taken Pasteur
 Treatment

Twenty-nine persons were suffering Monday from the effects of bites in- flicted when dog ran wild in Avon dale. Most of the bites were serious, according to Dr. J. A. Bagley, who gave all % of the victims the preven- tive treatment for rabies. The dog was owned by Curtis Cheek, m AyOndale barber. .
 The dog was captured by the city pound department and an investigation was under way Monday to determine whethSr it was mad, although 1t ap- pears certain that it was. Cheek was unable to account for the dogs be- havior on any other theory. He said that the dog was of nondescript breed. and still a puppy. It was bought sev- cral days ago for Cheeks children to play with. Since it was taken in, Cheek declared, the dog had demon strated no meanness and was already entrenched in the children's affections
 The dog appeared to become sudden ly wild Sunday. It bit several mem bers of the Cheek family, including Mrs Cheek, before starting on public ram page. It then ran down the street, ac- eOrding to neighbors, snapping right and left.
 Dr. J. D. Bowling, health officer, said Monday night, that he believed the dog was infected with rabies, but it will be subjected to further observa- tion. Dr. Bowling declared that the rabies prophylactic is almost certain to ward off the disease, and that it has failed only in rare instances.
 The persons bitten. in addition to Mrs. Cheek. were Gurlin Cheek, Curtis Cheek, Billy Cheek. Robert Wilson, Floyd Wilson, Austin Reason, Mrs. J. r. Startling, Raymond Kirkwood, John H. Brooks, Jack Carroll, Wilson Wood all, Tom Pharah, Clarence Pharah, George Pharah, Jewel Etheridge, John Etheridge, Myrtle Etheridge, Willie Etheridge, Jessie Love, Lula Agnes Mcdaniel, J. w.

FOSDICK REFUSES TO SURRENDER TO CLOSED SHOP
New York Baptist Pastor Resigns Presby-
 terian Pulpit
tBy Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.--The Rev. Dr, Harry Emerson Fosdick, Baptist preacher in a' Presbyterian church whose pulpit for two years has been the center of an international con- troyefsy between fundamentalists and modernists, today handed his resigna- tion to the New York presbytery.
 It was Rev. Dr. Fosdick's answer to the judgment of the Presbyterian general assembly that he should for swear his Baptist membership and be- come a Presbyterian by subscriing to the confession of faith. or give up his associate ministry of the First Presy- terian church of New York.
 The issue had been clearly drawn both in the dictum of the general assembly and subsequent communication formally rendered the minister by the Presbyter of New York It was con- sidered reasonably certain the resigna- ton would be accepted.
 Statements Are Issued
 That 1t had been rendered was made known in statements issued today by Dr. Edgar Whitake Work, chairman of the special committee of the local Presbytery designated to deal with lne EOSulGk tu1Cs was Sch forth the text of the decision of the judicial commission of the general assembly at Grand Rapids, Mich, East May 2S; formal notification Dr. Work sent Rev. Dr. Fosdick last September 1 and the pastors reply, dated today.
 In declining to become n Presbyterian, Rev. Dr. FOsdick wrote that he was not moved by denominational reasons, for he had no sectarian loyolties. He was convinced, however, that he would be guilty of moral surrender" and violation of conscience" if he subscrib- cd to the confession of faith" after two years of vehement personal attack from a powerful section of the PresDy- terian church"
 "In answer to this proposal he wrote, 'I must in all honesty set my long standing and assured conviction that creedal subscription to ancient confessions of faith is a practice danger ous 10 the welfare of the church and the integrity of the individual conscience.

REPUBLIC STEEL MAY BE INCLUDED IN HUGE MERGER
Pittsburg Plus Ruling Said to Give Corpora
 tiOn Advantage

A merger of the Republic Iron and Steel company of Birmingham, the 1n- land Steel company and the Trumbell Steel company of Pennsylvania is be- ing negotiated, according to reports in Birmingham and in other industrial dis tricts of the country.
 From time to time during the past few years there has been discussion re- lative to the merger of the Republic with other companies. The present Eug- gestion comes from the fact that the Pittsburg plus decision has changed in- dustrial conditions in an entirely un- expected manner and is destined to give the United States Steel corporation a distinct advantage in the sales depart ment as conditions are now. This is brought about, it is stated, by reason of the wide separation of the Steel cor pOration properties, permitting the com. pany to make it's invoice f. 0. b. mills or warehouses to customers with freight rates which will give the cor poration a marked advantage.
 Advantage To Corporation
 This opinion found expression two weeks ago and has gradually developed until it is felt by the most careful in- yestigators that the corporation is de- stined to benefit tremendously solely on account of the plants and warehouses being scattered to advantageous points, permitting sales and making routine which cannot be combatted by the in- dependent interest. To compete with the corporation the independents must merge, # is thought.
 This has brought to the front, dis cussions as to mergers which involves the Republic in Birmingham and it is stated that investigations have been au- thOrized by the companies interested.
 Industrial leaders of this district be- lieye there is about to be perfected mergers which will create additional companies in Birmingham which will be of tremendous value to the entire section. Local Republic officials have no adTices as to the situation other than the reports given in the important trade papers where there seems to be the unanimous opinion that the merger is absolutely inevitable.
 Headed. By Topping
 The Republic group is headed by John A. Topping, who was in control of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany when that company was taken over by the Steel corporation. He is widely known in this district. Mir. Topping is considered one of the best industrial operators in this country.
 The opinion is entertained here that the Republic will extend its plant into finishing departments provided the merger goes through, quicker than will be the case should it remain outside the group. The company has made no ex- pansion in finishing lines in Birming- ham since it's formation, being content to mine orc and coal and make pig iron. It is thought that the Republic will soon rival the Tennessee if it takes part in the consolidation planned. The dis cussion in the east relatives to mergers which are said to be traeeable to the Pittsburg plus changes include the Bethlehem with other plants, Sharon Steel Hoop, Mckinney Steel, Ameri- can Rolling mills and others.

CLOE ONLY MEMBER TO SPONSOR MOVE
Dickson Declares He Has Not Fully Decided
 How to Vote
COMMISSION HEEDS
 PHYSICIANS PLEAS
Decision to Mark End of Bitter Fight on Part of Minority
 Group

Defeat of the rehabilitation ordinance sponsored by 28 raw milk dairymen was made cer- tain Monday when Comnlia. sioners D. E. McLendon and William l.. Harrison anllounc- ed they would accept the unanimous recommendations of the health authorities and vote with Health Commission, CT Mary Echols against any changes in existing reguia- tions.
 This leaves Commissioners W. B. Cloe and w. E. Dickson in the minority, Cloe has taken an unequivocal stand, n favor of the ordinance, and Dickson says he has not been convinced that 1t should not he passed.
 McLendofl md Harrison made their positions known after the board Of health, the medical milk commission. a committee of leading baby specialists and the executive committee of the Physician's Civic league had issued strong statements, warning that adnp. tion of the amendments drafted and proposed by the raw milk group would tie the hands, of the health authofl- ties, impair enforcement of the milk code, and open the way for q return of typhoid and colitis epidemics.
 Mrs. Echols took her stand against the proposed measure at commission hearing two weeks ago. It also has been known from the start that Com missioner Harrison would support the health authorities, but President Me- Lendon's attitude had been causing com cern. His flat assertion that he would vote to kill the amendments removed all doubt as to the outcome.
 Mrs. Echols HI
 As soon as Mrs. Echols recoi CTS from her illness and returns to the city halt the commission will act formally on tue proposed ordinance. After their defeat at the commissions hands, the rfW milk group may carry their fight into the state courts.
 In announcing that he would vote against the amendments, Commissioner Harrison said:
 '"The city commission is not composed of health experts and, in my judgment, should be guided largely in matters pertaining to health matters by the constituted health authorities. The board of health and various other medical authorities have studied the proposed amendments and recommended that they be defeated. Strong argu. ments in support of these recommenda- tiOns have been submitted. shall, therefore, support the health authori- ties and vote against any changes in our present milk code"
 President McLendon, in making known his position, issued this state ment:
 Backs Health Board
 ''The arguments presented by the health authorities are convincing. am unwilling to put my judgment against that of health experts. all of whom say this ordinance would menace the health of this community. It appears that only n small group of dairymen are dissatis- fled, and that 80 per cent of the dairy men of the city are opposed to any changes and living up squarely to pres. ent regulations. l shall vote in accord. Rnce with the recommendations of the board of health."
 The statement of McIendon dashed the hopes of q ndmber of the raw milk operators who had been counting oh

ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. G. Launching a general attack against the Coolidge admins tration on questions of foreign policy, tariff Legislation, sec tional feelings, and mention ing Secretary of the Navy Will bur by name for the first time since he was recalled to Wash ington from the coast, John w. Davis, democratic nominee for president tonight brought his campaign into the New York capital as the guest of Gov. Alfred E. Smith, and de- livered his second address of the day in upstate territory. Tn his first speech at Sche- nectady and later in Albany, Mir. Davis took occasion also to appeal for the success of the state ticket in November. His references to Governor Smith and Lieut.. Gov. George R. Lunn always brought ap- plause.
 in his reference to. the foreign policy question, Mir. Davis said he could only see two courses open to this country. One was to arm the nation to point where 1t need not fear aggression from the united strength of other powers and the second was to meet all other powers in conference and build up un' derstandings which would make future aggression impossible. He pointed out the refusal of the Washington govern ment to attend the Geneva conference called by the League of Nations to con. slider questions of abolishing war, of arbitration, of reduction in armamentt and the qualification of internationa law.
 "There is neither safety, honor noi glory in mere policy of drift" Mir Davis said.
 "Such a policy leads inevitably to a situation that not only deprives us Oi the power to make up our own mindI hut also of the chance to make our will effective when our minds are made up The country has right 10 Know whether we have a foreign policy ana if so what that policy is."
 Tn reiteration of his charges of cor ruption in public offices during the last three and a half years, Mir. Davis de ciared that the Republican party can not cover its failure to perform 1t mast promises by making new promises for the future"
 '@The worst crop failure this coun try ever saw" he said, ''is the failur' in the crop of republican performances compared with the sowing of republican promises"
 The second question of importance to be settled by the November election the candidate asserted, was that deal ing with the growth of sectional feelini in the United States.
 Nothing is clearer than that thu policy pursued by the Republican party and approved by President Coolidge, he said, "has succeeded in setting thu agricultural west against the indus trial east. For 50 years the fisca (COntinued on Page 2l.

it could hardly be said that all eight of them did the work of one good man.
 Marberry, plumber boy of the Poto- mac, who is always sent for to stop up the bad leaks and who has q faculty for doing the job handsomely, started the game today. Marberry is not ac- customed to going into the pitchers box at the beginning of contest.
 When he looked around in the first inning and realizing that he was pitch ing about eight innings ahead of sched- ule he lost his head, also his arm. He was quickly put back on the relief com mission. Gentlemen, named Russell, Martina and Speece followed him in the box. They evidently thought they were in college football game and stayed only long enough to get their letters
 The Giants just to show that the Senators had no more pitchers than they, put in McQuillan and followed with Ryan, Jonnard and Watson. Ryan called ''Rosey," if you know him well enough, caused the first world series scandal this year. He hit home run.
 Jonnard only remained in the box a few moments. He has but one eye. McGraw found this out and sent him to get another. The Giants managers cry of quick, Watson, the needle" caused surprise. Not many fans knew Wat son was on the Giants club. Watson didn't appear to know 1t either.
 While New York leads in the number of games, won, Washington leads in the matter of generosity. When the series opened in Washington the players were showered with limousines, watches studs and various other gifts and con alterations. When the first game op' ened in New York today not single present was made to the Giants.
 The atituda of the New York fans is that the team must take their appre' citation for granted. As for .McGraw he doesn't care one way or the other---hs has been too long in baseball to believe in Santa Claus.
 General summary--Ten runs; { pitchers; 20 hits; no bribery.

POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct 6.-There having been no choice on the proceeding ballots the clerk again called the roll in the world series today and the deadlock was broken. Luck, which had been distributing its in fluence about evenly between the two candidates in the first sessions. broke, went over to the Giants in a body and staged stampede. The Giants won 8 to 4 in another game so thrilling that 1t was of no benefit to weak hearts.
 Four games are necessary to a choice. The Giants need but two more to be declared elected. But these Senators have an exasperating way ot tying up matters. They came within two hot breaths of doing it in the game today and there is still chance this series may last almost as long as the last democratic national convention.
 The Giants got all the breaks today. The Senators got all the sprains. Roger Peckinpaugh. who has proved himself to be the big ace of the Wash ington team in pinch, threw ligament or something early in the day. This Is the first time anything has been thrown during the series. 1t was reported to Judge Landis at once.
 Roger went into the base hospital for alterations and his absence played no small part in throwing Washington back across the Delaware with heavy losses.
 The Giants received the news of Peck's injury without emotion and hoped it was nothing of a minor nature. After Goslin's performances of Sunday the McGrawites rather wished he mgiht develop housemaid's knee or something, too, but as things turned out the goose" was not much of . menace. He laid no eggs. Once in the fourth inning with man on base he connected for what looked Ike sure two bagger that might have changed the entire course of the game.
