FIRE REGULATIONS.
Only Authorized Newspapers Men May
Ride on Apparatus.

The Board of Public Safety has decided,
upon recommendation of Fire Chief Coots,
to permit no more riding on fire department
vehicles except by members Of the fire de-
partment and newspaper men in the dis
charge of their duty. For the purpose of
identification the board authorized the
chief to have fire badges made which will
be distributed among the working news
paper men and will entitle them to the
privilege of going with the apparatus and
give them admission inside the fire lines.
The firemen have recently been impeded
ih their work by the crowds which fill the
streets about downtown fires, and while
there have been no serious results Chief
Coots is fearful that there may be some
time and that an "ounce of prevention
ought to be applied. At recent down
town fire in Pearl street the chief found
the street so blocked with people that he
could scarcely enter. The board will re-
quire the police at all fires TO keep the
crowds away from the street and give the
firemen every means of speed with their
work
The board yesterday reduced Captain
John Wernsing, of hose company No. IL,
TO the ranks and assigned Stephen Chill
ders, of truck company No. /, to the place.
Childers was appointed a captain some
time ago, but had not been assigned for
duty. The board granted Joseph Smorzka,
of truck company No. l. a leave of absence
of thirty days
Captain Gerber. of the detective force,
was granted a ten days leave of absence,

MAYOR in TOWN AGAIN
FISH STORIES TOLD IN A DEPRECA-
TORY WAY BY HIS HONOR.
The sBread" Label on His Shipment
to This City satisfactorily Ex-
plained-MunicipaIA Affairs.

Mayor Bookwalter. Albert Lieber and
Samuel P. Stoddard, chief clerk of the as
sessment bureau. returned from their fish,
ing trip to Minocqua, Wis, at noon yes
terday. The mayor went home and spent
most of the afternoon and evening telling
his children and some others what a won
derful fishing country he had visited. Mrs.
Bookwalter, Mrs. Lieber and Mrs. Stod-
dard were with the fishermen, and their
success was equal to that of the veteran
Waltonians. The mayor and the rest or
the party had not been so busy fishing
while away, however, that they could not
read the. Journal.
II see you said the fish we shipped home
in boxes were labeled bread" said the
mayor. THAT was an accident Bread
boxes were all we could get to ship in.
word was put on to evade the Wisconsin
fish law, but it was not. We shipped home.
all told, about 12O pounds of fish. The law
of Wisconsin permits an individual to
ship not more than twenty pounds of fish
out of the State. So we all became indi-
viduals and each shipped a box. We were
on Squaw lake, twenty-five miles from
Minocqua, which seems TO be a resort for
Indianapolis people. We were all ambitious
to catch big muscalonge. We fished and
fished for a big one, but the biggest one
We caught weighed thirteen pounds.
"Of course said the mayor. with a
meaning glance, lone of our party had a
nuScdlOUge tldl WelSneO twenty POUNDS
up to the side of the boat. He was a
beauty. and we prepared to shoot him. Up
there they do not depend on gait hooks, but
shoot to kill The blow of the bullet was
so great that the line broke and the mus
calonge got away"
Then the mayor took long breath and
continued: 81 have had a good rest and
feel in perfect health. By the way, see
you intimated that there were no hooks
sticking in the mouths of the fish we sent
home. That Is not prima facie evidence
that we bought any. Why, bless your
heart, that lake is so full of fish that one
of us was kept busy with boat oar keep
ing them from jumping in the boat and
swapping it. / went out with my wife
one day and we caught over sixty pou,. ds
of fish in a little while. OF course, Mrs
Bookwalter did better than I did. But it
seemed our fate not to get a big fellow.
We saw muscalonge weighing thirty
pounds that were caught by others, and
Miss Newberger, who was with tie party
of James L. Mitchell, of this city, caught
one that weighed forty-one pounds"
The mayor said he tore himself from
these sporting regions reluctantly. On his
way home he visited Milwaukee and De-
troit.

want to take look at Shacklett over
there; he's the smoothest man that ever
came to Springfield. and. while everybody
concerned knows that, everybody VINO
knows him trusts him. The straightest
member of either house will walk down
street or play poker with him, and yet
they call him the king of the lobby since
Murphy, of the Tribune, tackled that name
on to him.
But all the records showed was that
SEacklett was a clerk in the Statehouse,
wasting his life in that mediocre mill and
studying law little.
The other Statehouse people were as far
wrong as was the record in getting at the
facts. With all the political battles he won
down the State, and the legislative battles
he won for his clients up the State. the
battle he was fighting for himself was still
undecided and the forces were still standing
firm. Mary Stoddard was waiting and
Shacklett was steadily advancing, however
slowly, toward admission to the bar, emf
grafton west and official life at Washing
ton. He was always alert for a sortie that
would capture the prize without such a
long siege. but no chance for that came.
Mckee was the only man who knew the
be so quixotic was to him the seven won
ders of the world combined.
1t was the tine for one of Shacklett's reg
ular visits tc Warsaw, and he was picking
up his valise to start to the train when
a boy brought him a note that caused him
to send q telegram to the girl at the
Heights and hurry over to the Leland. The
boy who brought the note had been sum-
moned in the midst of an earnest conversa-
ton in room on the parlor floor between

a black mustache

II know that I'm never whipped until the
last name on the roll is called. Send for
Shacklett as soon you can, Baird. and
let's go over it again.
Baird stepped over to the button and
called the bell boy. While that youth, with
carefully combed hair. BACKED shoes and

Baird wrote the note. He did not look

 of American Navy at King
 Edwards Coronation. 

Atlanta, Ga. Jan. 15.-The Journal to- day says:
 Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson of naval fame. arrived in the city at an early hour this morning from Charleston, and is spending the day here.
 When seen by a reporter of The Jour nal he was seated at a desk in the of flee of Beatty. Hobson & Co.,. cotton buy CTS. S2 1-2 West Alabama Street, of which firm he is member. 1. Captain Hobson was asked. first of all, If he intended to run for Congress from Alabama.
 Under existing circumstances" replied the captain. T am sorry I cannot answer your question. and beg to be excused"
 Captain Hobson lives in the Sixth Con- gressional District of Alabama. The district is now represented by Hon. John H. Bankhead, whose term expires on March 4th, 1903. The election for rep resentative in Congress from that district occurs next November.
 Captain Hobson is at present connected with the naval exhibit at the Charleston Exposition, and he was asked what he thought of the Exposition.
 .I have been most faYorably impressed with the Charleston Exposition" he re- piled. Tt is now approaching compile tion, and is really a magnificent exposi- uon. It does great credit to the city and is we'll worth a visit from people both far and near. I am connected with the Navy Department exhibit. which Is a part of the government exhibit now completed. This Is one of the best ex- hibits ever made by the Navy Depart ment."
 What do you think of the appoint- ment of Captain Clark of the Oregon to represent the United States navy at the coronation of King Edward of EnglandT was asked.
 It is not permitted me to give any statement for pub.ication upon any of ficfal acts of the Navy Department or the President replied Captain Hobson, but you may say that l am a great ad- mirer of Captain Clark. Besides being a gallant officer he is a charming man"
 Captain Hobson denied that he had made application for a twelve mouths leave of absence as has been reported. He said he had not asked for any leave at all.
 Captain Hobson on arrival this morn- ing was driven to the home of his rela- tives Mir and Mrs. W. IT. Beatty, 90 Forest Avenue. where he took breakfast.

OPPOSED BY MIR. WILEY
UNDERwooD's BILL WILL BE
 VIGOROUSLY FOUGHT.
Scheme to Legislate Judge Thomas c. Jones Out of His Home in Montgomery--Mr. Clay
 ton Also at Work.

waehington. Jan Special )--Coii- g-ers man Wiley stated today that he would vigorously oppose the bill intro several days ago by Congressman Un- derwood. the import of which Is that Judge Thomas c. Jones of the United States District Court for Middle and Northern Alabama shall hold court in Birmingham and Huntsville. while Judge Toulmin of Mobile shall hold court at Mobile and Montgomery.
 Colonel Wiley, in his opposition to the bill, is acting as the immediate represent tative of the wishes of Judge Jones, who would be compelled, under the terms of the bill, to remove his home from Mont gomery to Birmingham.
 ''We don't propose to have Judge Jones legislated out of his home in Montgom- ery." said Colonel Wiley. He is Mont gomery's honored citizen, and should not be compelled to leave the residence about which all that Is dear to him is located. I shall oppose the bill before the Ju- dietary Committee and before the House. if 1t reaches the House, and even before the President if necessary"
 The purpose of MT. Underwood's bill, of course. is to equalize the work. At present Judge Jones holds court at Bir- mingham Huntsville and Montgomery, while Judge Toulmin sits only at Mobile ~ It is believed Mir. Underwood will not press the passage of the bill when he understands the opposition of Judge Jones.
 Colonel Wiley has plan by which the work may be capitalized leaving Judge Jones at hcmc It is to allow Judge Jones to sit at Montgomery and Birming- ham. while Judge Toulmin shall hold court at Mobile and Huntsville.
 The, Underwood bill is now before the Judiciary Committee of the House, but 1t is understood that it will not be reported until Judge Jones can be heard from.
 MT. Clayton is cooperating with Colo mel Wiley in the matter and an amicable adjustment may be reached.

 When asked by Judge Lowery what he had to say before he was sentenced. owens said, "I am not guilty"
 Owens received his sentence with an immovable countenanee and in no way manifested any feeling. His wife and daughters screamed wildly and seemed almost frantic at the doom of their hus- band and father.
 Judge stephens immediately made a motion for new trial, which was over ruled by the court. Owens's attorneys will appeal the case to the Supreme Court.
 Will Mathis has requested Judge Low cry to have his hanging at a different hour from the time at which the negro Orlando Lester, will be hanged, and ask ed that he be hanged from a different gallows. He says he Is opposed to so- cial equality, and this is why the request is made.

MEDALS FOR SAILORS.
Participants in West Indian Cams
 paign will Be Honored.

Washington. Jan. 15.-Seventy-five hum dred medals is the estimate of the Navy Department of the number of tokens or recognition which are to be ordered Tor the officers and men who participated in the memorable West Indian campaign or the Spanish-American war. A West ln- dian campaign medal will be bestowed on every officer and man who was in that campaign.
 The Naval Board on Awards recently has been engaged in deciding upon a number of engagements to be singled out for special commemoration. participation in which will mean an extra bar for each person, to be attached to the West In- dian campaign medal. The battle of Sam tiago Bay heads the list of these. and the board has decided upon the following other engagements, which, in it's opinion. merits special distinction: Cienfuegos, Cardenas. Santiago (cable-cutting expedi- tion. three fights at Manzanillo and Nipe Bay.
