 o'clock. and although 1t was not possible at that time to form an estimate of the loss of life, the statements of the men employed in the drying house were so conflicting that the police declared that in their opinion the loss of life would not be more than ten or twelve. Several of the men who escaped from the lower part of the building said that there will be no loss of life among the men em- ployed in any other part of the building.
 Frank Rothenberg, 8 foreman working on the fifth floor of the drying house, met his death in making a jump for a net held by the fremen underneath the window where he stood He was com- pel1ed to leap far out in order to clear some Instructions on the side of the building and missed the net by a yard. The firemen seeing that he would not strike the net made every effort to catch him but failed. His skull was crushed and he died instantly. Joseph Bulkos es- capped with his life, but Is badly burned and bruised. He had better fortune in striking the net when he leaped from an- other part of the fifth floor. He hit it squarely, but being a heavy man, be went through and struck the ground with terrible force. He was rushed to the coun- ty hospital, where it was said he might recover. Paul Kauris also broke through the net but was not badly hurt.
 The officers of the company, when in- formed that the two smaller buildings had been destroyed and that the four teen story building was damaged, would not make any estimate of damage. One ! of them said: Tt may be any where be- tween $500, 900 and $1,000OO which Is all that we can say at this time. The fire department places the loss at the lower figure, but Chief Muschcom of the de- partment said that there might be stock in the buildings the value of which he had not a correct idea. He thought that half million dollars would cover the 10cS

CUBAN CONGRESS ADJouRNs.
Is Not Regarded In Washington as
 Jeopardizine Reciprocity Treaty.

Washington, October 21.-The adjourn ment for two weeks of the Cuban con- gross without action on the proposed reciprocity treaty, is not regarded here as jeopardizing the convention itself
 The fact is now known here that Presi- dent Palma himself is well disposed to- ward the treaty, but finds such consider able opposition among leading Cubans, who feel that the United States govern ment has secured the best of the bargain in reciprocity that he requires time in which to bring them over to his own view. It is felt here that a two weeks | adjournment will be sufficient for this purpose, and that the treaty will prob l ably be ratified in Havana before con. gress meets in Washington.

MOL|NEUX WROTE
 THOSE LETTERS Is Statement of Harry Cornish on Witness Stand. IDENTIFIED SOME ARTICLES Told of Receipt of Bottle of Poison and Giving It to Mrs. Adams
 and Her Daush-
 ter.
IDENTIFIED SOME ARTICLES

New York. October Hillary Cornish was recalled to the witness stand today in the Molineux trial.
 Replying to Assistant District Attorney Osborne. he said there was no indiea- ton that the promo setzer bottle had been tampered with when he first re- ceived it, He identified the bottle, cork and wrapper and they were admitted as evidence.
 The witness told of talk with two of his friends, but the defense objected to what they talked about, and Justice Lambert sustained the objection. Cor nish said he knew A. J. Harpster. He had never written to Detroit to inquire as to Harpster's antecedents, and stated that letter in which inquiries were made concerning Harpster and two letters ask ing for certain patent medicines and signed Harry S. Cornish, were in Molin- euxs handwriting. Counsel for the de- fense objected that the Harpster letter was not material and Justice Lambert ruled that Mr Osborne might not intro duce that letter until he had proven It competent.
 MT. Osborne presented to the witness a number of letters and papers Cornish eaid he wrote none of them. The defense objected to each as 1t was offered.
 Justice Lambert ruled that MT. os- borne was within his rights.
 ''Who wrote that?' MT. Osborne asked the witness as he looked at each paper and Cornish replied "Molineux." Cornish told of his first meeting with Mrs. Adams and her daughter. Mrs. Rogers, soon ar ter he first came to New York and of his going to board with them, He retold the story of the receipt by him of the poison bottle and of his having given to Mrs. Adams glass containing portion of It's contents. Harry King, who was present when Cornish received the bottle and who escaped taking a dose of the poison only because there was no water In the clubhouse, was called. He corroborated Cornishs testimony as to the receipt Of the package.

NEARING COMPLETION.
New Quarters of the Cable Company
 Will Soon Be Ready.

As is we'll known, the Cable Piano Go. has had to seek new and larger quarters in less than six months after beginning business in the city. The store at ZOOS First avenue Is being remodeled through out to suit the needs of the firm and will be made one of the most up-to-date piano houses in the south. Manager Shell by thinks that within TWO or three days they will be lat home and ready for business.
 In speaking about the improvements and the Cable Co.'S business he said in part
 "Yes, 1t is going to be a handsome store, and will contain a handsome stock the finest, we believe, ever shown in Ala bama With it all there will be a moder- ation in price that is particularly pleas ing to the purchaser. It is a foregone con clusion that the Cable Co. does sell cheap CT than anybody, and there is a very log ical reason for it. It is beyond doubt that the Cable Go. is the largest piano manu- facturing concern in the world; the com mercial agencies will tell you so, and a mere glimpse of the mammoth factories will prove it at glance. This being an established fact, there is no question as to our ability to sell at lower price than small dealers throughout the country who pose as manufacturers. Ours is the only manufacturing company selling di- rect to the customer in Alabama. The Cable Go. owns its own stock, and sells It's pianos direct to the customer through its various branches. This is why we can sell the customer plano at about the same price that the dealer has to pay in a small way"
 The growth of the Cable Co.'s business since they opened store in Birmingham has been little short of phenomenal and MT. Shelby attributes it principally to their ability to sell directly from the factory to the user and save the GUS toner the middeman's profit.
 i. All the company asks is an inspection bf their line and an investigation of prices. If they can't save you money they don't ask your trade. sss

INDUSTRIAL NEWS.

It was reported yesterday that the Schulers had bought 17O acres of land just below Bessemer. This naturally strengthened the belief that the blast furnace and steel mill plant which the Alabama Steel and Wire company is soon to build will be located near Bessemer. On the other hand it was stated by a prominent citizen close to the Schulers, that no place had been selected. Gads- den is still being considered and so is North Birmingham. The abundance of water at Gadsden makes that place par ticulariy attractive
 While the Alabama Steel and Wire company has a project for erecting two furnaces only one will be put up at the start. It will have a capacity of about 300 tons a day.
 The Sloss- -6heffeld's No. 4 furnace, at North Birmingham, which is undergoing repairs, will be in operation again next week. The Sloss company made 30.0OO tons of pig iron last month. It will do even better this month.
 The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company's furnace at Oxmoor. which is being put in working condition, will be made for the torch about the middle of next month.
