Mobile, Ala., April 18.—Prominent
railroad men from various parts of the
South are gathered here today to wit
ness the elaborate ceremonies Incident
to the formal opening of the union
terminal station of the Gulf Terminal
Company and proprietary lines, the
Southern and Mobile and Ohio rail
ways. Vice President E. L. Russell, of
the two rntlways and president of the
Terminal Company, Is to be master if
ceremonies, which begin at 5 o'clock
Thursday evening. An appropriate
program has been arranged for the oc
casion.
The station, which was built at o
cost of over 8500,000, is of French ar
chitecture and has a decided tropical
appearance. It was designed by Archi
tect P. Thornton Marye, of Atlanta,
and Is nf reinforced concrete construc
tion with trimmings of terra cotta and
pressed brick. The structure Is nf three
stories, the upper being occupied as the
general offices of the Mobile and Ohio
railroad. A 600-foot train shed pro
tects all trains from tho weather.
The proposed requirement that a
nominee for city office must receive a
majority of the vote cast. Instead of a
plurality, as In the past, will be taken
up at the next meeting of the city
Democratic executive committee and
council will b* asked to submit this
question to a popular vote.
Council has adopted a resolution
calling upon the next legislature for a
provision" requiring that In cities of 75,-
000 population a majority vote be nec-
'essary for a nomination for city office,
and providing for a ''run-off" between
the two leading candidates should there
bo no majority.
This does not meet the Idea of the
executive committee, which takes the
position that council Is usurping tho
irivlleges of the public. It Is held that
he people should be given an oppor-
unlty to vote on the provision at the
next city primary.

The word "work” Is too much for
Tom Gates, a negro habitue of Decatur

A short time ago the negro was ar

GERMANY BALKS AT .
NEUTRAL MARINES
Berlin. April 18.—In an announce
ment to a correspondent of the Pub
lishers' Press It develops that Germany
objects to the proposition to neutralise
the merchant marines on the ground
that It favors the nations with the
largest navies.
Since England and other great pow
ers will probably never relinquish their
right to blockade the enemy s entire
coast. Germany's attitude means th-
neutralisation prupos*! Is bound to

touched the heart of the court and as
soon as Gates revived he was allowed
to go without a fine.
Thursday morning Detectives Lock
hart and Roberts haled Gates before
the recorder on the same churge. The
recorder asked the prisoner If he had
ever "worked” In his life. Without re
plying. the negro clutched at his head
with a trembling hand and fainted.
And again Judge Broyles dismissed the
cose.
