If there was nothing more involved

occur at these crossings than per

Activity tn tlin tangled controversy
between the rnllromls and their em

unacted Into law.

Counsel for the railroads contend
in their brief that the Adamson act
Is unconstitutional liecnuso it is es

therefore, violates the constitutional

Several Persons Killed on Southern
Railroad.
An explosion In the smoking com
partment of the Birmingham-New
York Special, 11 .Southern railway
train, as it neared Woodlawn, a Ttir
mlngham suburb, believed by railroad
men ami’local police to have been
the result of an net committed by
person with suicidal Intent, killed two
men Instantly, fatally Injured an
other and seriously hurt at least a
dozen.
One of the dead is W. ,T. Oliver, n
business man of Birmingham. The
body of a second mail, mangled be
yond recognition, the bend severed,
found in the lavatory of the coach, is
said by relatives to be that of Lewis
D. Walton, a former prominent gro
cery man of Birmingham.
The man fatally Injured was .T.
Shelby Shelton, 30 Langhorn street.
Atlanta, (in., who died in a hospital.
Ills skull was fractured.
Tile police say that while it is tr,
he inferred that, tile explosion was
caused by Walton for the purpose ol
suicide; there still was a possibility
that Walfo'n escaped uninjured.. He
was under Indictment for murder, and
was known to have been on the train.
The police advance the theory that
Walton might have used «tlie ex
plosion as a means tn disappear so lie
could avoid facing trial on a charge
of having murdered n former busi
ness partner in Birmingham in April,
1915. Walton was under bond fol
lowing n mistrial several months ago.
Opinion among Hie passengers in
the conch vary ns to the cause oi
Hie explosion. Some think tt was
nitroglycerin, otliefs believe dynamite
was used.
