The Board of Control of the Board of Trade has addressed a letter to the South ern Tariff Association at Atlanta, urging the association to name the conditions un- which a reduction of insurance rates can be obtained by the people of Birmingham. The letter which was mailed yesterday is as follows:
 Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 4, 1901. Ii. c. Stockdell, Esq, President Southeast ern Traffic Association, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir-The correspondence between your association and our attorney, John Tomlinson, has been submitted to us. On January 23d of this year he wrote your special agent, who was then in this city, regarding "a reduction of the rate of fire insurance in Birmingham, and what would be necessary in order to get a reduction Your agent replied: As soon as I receive some necessary information from the Att lanta office, I will take pleasure in calling on you" Your special agent was invited to attend meeting of this board to confer on this subject and replied from Atlanta that he was called to Atlanta, stating that the matter would be taken up by the board or directors of your association on the next day. letter then addressed to you requesting that you write at once in de- tail the conditions necessary to get pro- per reduction in insurance rates in this city and to state in detail what would be required and, then what rate would be given" To this letter you replied that your special agent would visit Birmingham and take the matter up "as soon as he could finish some other matters he is now en- gagged upon"
 It would seem that you would have at hand reasons for discrimination against Birmingham In the matter of insurance rates. We again write you for those req sons to the end that if they are valid reaJ sons, they may be obviated This board will present the matter to the City Council of Birmingham on next Wednesday night and we would be glad to have your reply by that time, and would also be glad for you to have an authorized representative present at that meeting.

NEW YORK POLICE CAPTAINS JOB
WORTH $4,000.

NEW YORK, May 14.-Justice Jerome
has in his possession a check indorsed
by one of the men who are supposed
to be responsible for alleged protected
gambling in this city. Today for the first
time the justice described the nature of
some Of the evidence found in the re-
cent raid on a place on East Fourteenth

of fifteen had found in this gambling
house the memorandum of a large pay
ment Of money to a man prominent in
this city, and that this memorandum con-
sisted Of the check mentioned, which
had been Endorsed at time of payment
by the man referred to.
Justice Jerome refuses to be drawn into
answers to questions that would further
identify the payee.
The justice was asked what he
thought the income of police captain
was. He answered.:
1T all depends upon the precinct. In
one raid evidence was found to indicate
that $500 was paid There were ten
gambling houses in that precinct. Multi
ply the amount by ten and you have
49, 600 a year as what could be consid-
cred a gratuity."

amounts he thought were paid for APP
pointment to captaincy.
From $4,000 to $2S,O0O," he said. "Of
course, this is only an investment, and

CONVICTED OF SMASHING A JOINT
IN TOPEKA IN FEBRUARY.

TOPEKA, Kan, May 14.-The jury In
the case Of Mrs. Carrie Nation, charged
with joint smashing, this evening returned
verdict of guilty. The trial was before
the district court, and sentence will be
pronounced tomorrow. It is the general
impression that she will be released on
the payment Of fine and costs.
The trial Of the case began yester-
day. Today the defense had its inning,
and made no effort to deny the truth of
the accusation. An effort was made,
however, to prove that Mrs Nation was
insane at the time of the raid The jury
was out only a short time. The verdict
is a general surprise, as 1t was expected
the jury would disagree or bring in an
acquittal Mrs. Nation was convicted
for breaking into Ed Murphys saloon
one Sunday morning last February.
