NOT READY TO REPORT
SCALE COMMITTEE HAS REACH
 ED NO AGREEMENT.
Believed, However, That the Opera tors and Miners Will Come to ! an Understanding Within
 e Short Time.

Birmingham, June'26.--(Special)-The State Miners Convention met again this morning at 10 o'clock and ad- journed until tomorrow morning at g o'clock. The Joint Scale Committee of the miners and operators were' in ses- sion all day today. not being ready to report when the miners convention as- sembied. The committee has arrived at no conclusion. The agreement in the Joint Committee is that everything must be done by a unanimous vote. A vote was taken on the proposition to adopt the operators wage scale and eight votes were cast for its ado3tion
 and eight votes against it, the effect of which was to defeat it.> The miners scale was then taken up and it was agreed to vote upon it by sections. The first paragraph relates to the amount of wages to be paid and it was on this proposition that the members of the committee at oEce locked horns. The miners proposed that the wages shall be 45 cents per ton when iron is sell ing for $8 per ton. with a proportionate advance as the price of iron rises and with no maximum limit. At last ac- counts the committee was still debat- ing this clause, the operators contend ing 1t called for more than they were justified in paying while the miners ar- gued that the scale was equitable and just. Despite the apparent difficulty of the two committees in coming to an agreement, the belief Is very strong that a compromise will be reached be- fore the week ends and that there will be no suspension of work at the mines. It is thought that after the wage mat

Scene of the Collision.

It has often been remarked that the scene of the wreck Is a dangerous place and Is we'll located for such an acci- dent as that which occurred yesterday.
 On the northeast corner of the street is a high embankment and on top of this is a wooden fence. The embank- uent Is fifteen or more feet high and 1t is impossible to see around the corn CT until the crossing Is reached. Hull Street at this point is steep incline and Scott Street down which the fire apparatus was going Is also on an in- cline.
 Several of the flremen expressed themselves yesterday as having ex- pected such an affair to happen Cit- izens residing near there also said that it was wonder such an accident had not occurred before. as the cars and the fire department dash by the corner frequently and considering that neith- CT can see the other any distance away 1t appeared miraculous that a similar accident had not heretofore occurred.
 Had 1t been a general fire alarm the accident possibly would not have hap pened as the city ordinances provide that when the fire bell rings all street cars must stop for stated period. This being a telephone alarm, none but the firemen know that a fire was in progress.

Arrangements All Ready.

Practically all preparations for the hanging of Frank Miller, the noted safe cracker under sentence to hang next Friday for the murder of Police man J. W. Adams, nave been com pleted. The Sheriff of this county keeps a portable gallows stored away in the basement of the Court House, the same gallows having been in use ever since Dick Hawes was hanged in 1890. This morning the gallows was brought out and carried to the jail yard where the work of erecting 1t began. It will be tested tomorrow by dropping a couple of sacks of sand weighing about 250 pounds through the trap. Exactly 200 spectators have been pro- vided for at the execution, the jail yard heing too small to accommodate a larger number. Father Kennedy call ed on Miller this morning, and after the priest had withdrawn Miller re- marked to a newspaper man who also called: We can't get together on the religious business. but have said my prayers since I was a, little boy, and I am not afraid to trust my soul with God" Miller has practically abandon ed all hope, but he declares that if he is hanged it will be judicial murder.
