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.

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.

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.
