Found Her Money Gone.
Ethel Allison a good looking young wo-
man. who says she is from Tacoma, in
formed the police yesterday that she had
been robbed of S6l while out for a lark
Monday night. Fred Vacheresse, whom
she accuses, Is under arrest for the rob-
berry. The story begins with the state
ment of the young woman that she ar
rived in Butte sunday from Tacoma and
took apartments in a respectable house
in Arizona street. Being a stranger in
the city, she thought it safe to have a
little lark, and Monday night started out.

room at 421 South Arizona street They
had several rounds of drinks and then
the story ends. as far as the young wo-
mans recollection goes.
1t is next taken M with the statement
to the police Of Kid O'Donnell, a hack
driver. O'DonneIl's contribution to the
narrative is to the effect that he was

advice was to take the girl to the city

booked as a prisoner, but was kept
there to sober up.
This condition arrived about 10 o'clock
yesterday, and she was preparing to leave
when she discovered that she had lost
her purse, which had contained SCI. The
conclusion was reached that the woman
had been robbed and O'Donnell was
looked up for inquiry. He related his
and added that he had charged the wo-
mans escort s. for the hack, but Vacher-
esse had said the woman had only s., so
he had accepted 81 for his fare. He re-

ADDRESSES NEGROES
Council Says Mistake is Made in Abus-
 ing the South

Huntsville, August 5.-(Special. )-Prof. William H. Council, the colored president of the Agricultural and Mechanical College for negroes at Normal, recently delivered an address at Bismarck, Kan, before a gathering of 5000 negroes. He addressed himself to those negroes of the north who entertain strong prejudice against the peo- pie of the south, and said:
 "Colored men of the north make a great mistake in abusing the south. They for get that the south was an ante-room in which their fathers exchanged the clout of the barbarian for the dress of civilization the blessed ante-room in which four mill lion savages were changed into industrious beings-a great missionary tent in which four millions of fetich worshippers were transformed into four millions of Christian citizens of one of the most powerful gov- ernments of this age. Let the south alone, and look to your own neglected opportuni- ties and correct your own wrongs. You are driven from nearly every decent wage earning position. whipped from the hacks and drays. shop doors shut in your faces, labor unions united against you, and the friendship and sympathy of your hitherto white friends slipping away from you. We negroes of the south thank you for your strong sympathy. but. my friends, do not forget yourselves"

$5O,OOO FIRE
 AT TALLADEGA
Entire South Side of the Pub- lie Square is a Mass
 of Ruins.

Talladega August 15.-(Special.)-A fire which started here at 4:SO o'clock this morn- ing swept away $5O,OO0 worth of property in less than three hours.
 By o'clock the entire south side of the public square was mass of ruins. The total insurance on the property destroyed amounts to probably 5000. The largest building in Talladega was the Big Four, owned by John B. Knox, C. s. Jones, Mrs. J. P. Wood and others, and it was entirely consumed.
 The fire department was handicapped by the absence of sufficient water pressure, and the company Is being roundly scored.t
 W. F. Handley, tailor, formerly of Bir- mingham, was painfully injured while fight ing the fire. He fell from an awning, breaking both arms and suffering an ugly scalp wound. sl
 All records of the grand lodge, Knights of Pythias were burned as was the armory of the local militia, together with fifty Springfield rifles. %
 The principal losers were: r.
 L. J. Stringer, general merchandise. 9
 Knights of Pythias lodge.
 Talladega steam laundry.
 Leon G. Jones, general merchandise.
 Van Pelt, clothing.
 John Adams, jeweler.
 L. G. Wright. druggist. "a
 Telephone exchange.
 Dr. Lakey, dentist
 Big Four barber shop
 The origin of the fire is a mystery By some it is believed that the flames started in the Talladega laundry, but this is de- clared impossible by the owners. Others are inclined to the theory that it started in the armory, the local company having had practice drill the night previous.
 There was second alarm of fire at II o'clock this morning, when the residence of B. B. Simmons, in "Our Mountain Home addition,' was destroyed.
 John H. Donahoo, grand keeper of rec- ords and seals of the Knights of Pythias was in Birmingham yesterday.
