Rains Harm Streets.

The steady rainfall of last night which continued until an early hour this morn ing. flooded many of the unpaved streets in all parts of the city, especially in the upper or retail business district. The inlet to the sub-surface drains al the intersection of Royal and St. Francis Streets, owing to an accumulation of trash, washed into them by the surface water, because clogged during the night and, in consequence the water backed up in the stret. In making its way across Royal Street. in its flow to the river. quite a deep gully was washed in that thoroughfare, causing inconvenience and possible danger to vehicles as well as pedestrians.
 Along Royal Street the Mobile Light and Railroad Company has for some time had a large force of hands employed in cutting a deep ditch and laying condults for electric wires The rain caused much of the sandy soil on either bank of the ditch to cave in with the result that considerable amount of labor and money was wasted. It Is necessary for this particular work to be completed be- fore the Board of Public Works will be ready to allow the contractors for the street paving on this street to begin operations and the torn up condition in that vicinity at the present time is similar to that of three years ago when the city sewers and waterworks system was being put down.

MABsoN MAKES STATEMENT.
Says He Did Not Knowingly Commit
 Any Offense.

Tuscaloosa, Dec. 2.-(Special)-The people of this community were very much surprised by the charge brought against ex-Cnited States Commissioner Marion B. Mabson of this city.
 It seems that witnesses had been sum moned and appeared in MT. Mabson s court that were not called for by sub poenas. This morning MT. Mabson stat ed that he had not the least knowledge as to the identity of the witnesses. All that he knew, he said, was that they were presented to him as the right ones. Mir. Mabson was appointed commissioner about a year ago to succeed his father. MT, Mabson resigned his position imme- diately after the charge was made.
 In speaking of the matter The Tusca- loosa Times says:
 'The statement made in the Blrming ham papers concerning the charges against NJ. B. Mabson, United State Com missioner, and G. B. Davidson. Deputy Marshal, at this place. have been eX- plained by MT. Mabson.

Insurance Commissioner N. R. McDd- vid has officially announced that he would oppose the pooling of the stock of the Prudential Insurance Company and the Fidelity Trust Company. in a community of interest so far as it related to Alaba- ma.
 Mir McDavid takes the position that the proposed consolidation would Jeop- ardize to some extent the interests of the Alabama policy holders of the Pru- dential Company. That being his view, he has notified the officials of the com pany that he would stop the company from doing business in Alabama if the proposed combination was effected
 The plan of pooling the interests of the two corporation was outlined in cir cular letter from John F. Dryden Presi- dent of the Prudential Company to the Insurance Commissioners of the various States. The Prudential Company was to purchase a large amount of the stock of the Fidelity Trust Company. and for the Trust Company, with the money so re- ceved, to purchase control of the stock of the Prudential Company.
 Commissioner McDavid held that the plan would impair the surplus of the Pru- dentiaI Company which would necessitate action by the State Insurance Depart ment.
 MT McDavid's letter to President Dry den is as follows:

Mobile. Dec. l2.-(Special)-The work of preparation for the annual Mardi iras celebration has been fairly inaugu- rated by the Executive Committe of the Mobile Carnival Association.
 As has been noted in these columns. the contract for the printing has already been awarded but this is merely one of the minor details. The principal feature incident to Mardi Gras celebrations, such as Mobile is noted for. is finances. and the sub-committees of the association. have already gotten into the field and the reports are of a most encouraging nature. The business men have come to the front and signified willingness to contribute literally to the fund, and these good re- ports have been a stimulus to the active members.
 Five secret societies. ones which, in the past have materially aided in making these annual events successes, have de- clared their intention to put forth extra efforts for the occasion, the dates of which will be February 23-24. next These societies are the Knights of Revelry, In- fant Mystics, Order of Myths Knights of Cyreniac and Comic Cow Boys.
 The chairman of the Alabama Battle ship Silver Service fund has reported to the carnival society that the battleship will be in the lower waters of Mobile bay during this season of joy which ends with the advent of the Lenten season The presentation of the silver service will take place then, and ample arrange ments will be provided for the safe trans portation of Mobilians and visitors to the lower bay to witness the interesting cer- em)ny. Many Mobilians expect friends from the Capital City to be present with them on the occasion.

 OPPOSES CONSOLIDATION
Says Prudential Company Cannot Do Business in Alabama If It Pools Stocks With
 Trust Company.

edge that I am not disposed to favor it.
 My understanding is that it is the in- tention of your company to invest in a large amount of stock of the Fidelity Trust Company of Newark, and for that Trust Company, with the money so re- ceived, to purchase control of the stock of the Prudential Company. My judg- ment is that such a plan is dangerous to the interests of your policy holders. To take from your reserve fund $6, 900, 900 of money and to return to that fund $1 1,OoO, 900 new stock of Trust Company seems to me proceeding wholly unwarranted. and for an insurance company to place itself in perpetual control of trust cons- pany is dangerous innovation. If this plan impairs your surplus, as it appar- entity does, it will be the duty of this de- partment to protect Its policy holders as required by the law.
 ''l believe that the proposed transaction would result to the emphatic disadvan- tage of the Prudentiars Alabama policy holders, and feel that it is my duty to protest against its consummation. Yours truly N. R. McDavid,
 Deputy Insurance Commissioner.

In his first statement he said Turner came to his home in Elmore County about s1 o'clock Thursday night. He heard some one calling. he said, in the road near his house. He went out in the night in re- sponse to the appeals for help. he said and found Turner half lying on the bug BY seat, partly covered with blood, and suffering great pain from two wounds.

MILL TURNER MYSTERIOUSLY
 WOUNDED AND DISAPPEARS

appeals he found Turner severely wound ed in his buggy.
 Howard, in discussing the wounds, said that one of them was a bad wound in the back cauScd by a load of bird or duck shot. The second wound, he said, was in the rear of the shoulder and was apparently caused by ball from d Win chester rife. Several of the shots had torn and lacerated Turner's fingers.
 Howard said that he got Turner out of his buggy and carried him into his cabin where he was warmed and fed. Turner, he said, lost large quantity of blood and was quite weak from his wound.
 Yesterday morning Howard said he put Turner in a buggy and drove him to Montgomery. the latter having agreed to pay him $2 for the kindness
 Howard stated that Turner told him that he had accidentally shot himself, but he did not describe how the accident oc- cured. Howard said further that there was a Winchester rifle in the buggy and there may have also been a shot gun. but he did not see it.
 Turner was not at the home of his mother. Mrs. lille yesterday afternoon when a reporter called to see him. Mrs. lille said that he had gone down town on an important business errand. The shooting she said was accidental She said that her son had gone hunting and while alone he had received the two wounds in the back. The wounds Mrs. lille said were serious.
 She would not offer an explanation of why a seriously wounded man ventured into the street
 It was learned at Haygood's stable that Turner had secured a horse and buggy there early Thursday morning The horse and buggy was returned yes terday morning. The stable attaches said that the horse had been driven very hard and that git was doubtful if he could be used again in fifteen Gays.
 Not at Home Last Night.
 Turner did not go home last night He did not return after leaving there yester- day His mother. in great anxiety, wait ed for him, but he did not appear.

 Police Chief A s. Gerald was commit nicated with and conferred with the moth CT When seen last night, Police Cap tain W H. Taylor said he knew nothing of the case.
