HORSE RUNS WILD
 AT FAIR GROUNDS
A LADY KNOCKED DOWN AND A
 SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAS BARE
 " YAvERTEo-soLpIERs CALLED TO ARMS.

l A very. serious accident was barely averted yesterday morning at the state fair when two of the cavalry horses with young girls on their back became un- ruly and started through the crowd. The 1 lives of the children were in danger, and Private Wilson jumped on his horse with | out saddle or bridle to rescue the chill dren. His horse became unmanageable and ran through the crowd, knocking down two people and severely injuring Mrs. H. L. Martin, wife of Dr. Martin of Avon- dale.
 The trooper was also injured by his horse, which kicked him several times and bruised him up considerably. As soon as the accident happened some of the mid way people started talking of mobbing Wilson, and the cry was being taken up when the troop was called to arms by the commander and things were finally quiet ed down. For awhile it looked as if there would be trouble, but the blast of the bugle called the soldiers together quickly and prevented any disturbance. Mrs. Martin was carried to Talley &
 
 were attended to. She was cut and bruised by the horses hoofs, and she suffered a severe shock.
 It seems that permission was given two children to get on two of the cavalry horses The horses went quietly until they reached the race track, where they have been entered in several contests lately. They became a little frisky and the children were frightened. Private Wilson, fearing the horses would throw the girls, jumped on his and started to catch the other two. His horse dashed off the track and through the fair grounds up the midway which was crowded with hundreds of children. Efforts were made to stop the horse. but they failed. A young white man was knocked down and bruised slightly before the horse struck Mrs Martin. Many thought at first that the cavslryman was drunk. When they found out his object they were easily pacified.
 In three minutes after the trouble every member of Troop c was in the saddle, armed and ready to prevent any trouble.

Voted to Defer Final Action
 Until November Z THE VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS
Action Postponed In View of Fact That Some of the Merchants Had Pledged Themselves to
 Sign Agreement.

There will be no strike or "walk out today
 At meeting of the Local 12S Retail Clerks association last night it was de- cided to defer final action with regard to the merchants until next Monday week The meeting was held in executive ses- sion in the Labor Temple.
 After the session Hary White, president of the Clerks local, said a resolution had been passed upon the recommendation of the committee on hours and holidays to the effect that in view of the fact that some merchants had promised to sign the agreement no action would be taken by the clerks until the next general meeting of the local union, which will take place Monday, November 2.
 Another reason, according to John Simpson, chairman of the clerks com mittee, that this action was taken was were trying to take advantage of a busy season.
 Unanimously Adopted.
 About seventy clerks were present at the meeting and the recommendation was unanimously adopted The clerks refused to divulge the names of the merchants who had pledged themselves to sign, but it was generally said Louis Saks was one. It was also said that as matter of fact, there are very few merchants who would have been seriously inconvenienced by a strike.
 MT. Saks, it is said would probably have been more inconvenienced than the others, as it is believed that nearly every one of the clerks in his employ are mem bers of the union.
 There are other stores, however, whose interest are almost identical with Saks' and their action in the matter would, 1t was pointed out last night, naturally be influenced by the stand made by MT. Saks.
 Much Interest Manifested.
 A great deal of interest has been aroused by the differences between mer- chants and clerks.
 Another reason, said John Simpson, chairman of the clerks committee, that the recommendation for postponement oi final action had been made, was because 1t had been intimated that the clerks were trying to take advantage of the busy season.
 MT. Saks could not be reached last night to either affairm or deny whether he would sign the agreement, but the inior- nation emanated from reliable source.

TRANSACTIONS IN
 IRON ARE SMALL
CONSUMERS ARE ONLY BUYING TO SUPPLY IMMEDIATE NEEDS. PRICES ARE NOT YET SETTLED. GOOD OUTLOOK.

The pig iron market remains without hoping to see lower prices. Consequently buying Is only in small lots for immediate te needs. Manufacturers are not making public their quotations, and as one of them said yesterday: Tt is impossible to say just what the price of iron is.' It is generally understood, however. that furnace men are holding out for $1O.5O to $10.75 for No. 2 foundry.
 Manufacturers are hopeful of the fu- ture and think that an active buying movement will set in before winter in spite of any pessimistic views that may be published in the north or east.
 Rogers, Brown & Co.'s Cincinnati cir cular of yesterdays date says:
 The most important sale of southern iron reported in the central territory dur ing the past week was 5000 tons Nos. 8 and 4 to a large Ohio consumer. The price was confidential, but 1t was SUD- posed to have been lower than any pre- vious transaction.
 Although 1t was announced that certain southern IurDdceS Hdu WltHurdWn rom their agreement to maintain prices and were ready for business on a lower sche- dule, no buying movement of importance has been started. Consumers will pur- chase only as iron is needed. and some of them will not allow for the usual de- lays in transit, and in consequence occa- sional shut-downs are reported There
 
 CTS hands are low and they intend to keep them so until there is a revival of demand for castings.
 At the present rate of decline in prices the bottom will shortly be reached be- cause it is known that many furnaces cannot produce iron at ruling quotations.

REPUBLICANS ONCE
 MORE STIRRED UP
PRESIDENTS REFEREES ADDRESS LETTER TO CERTAIN MEMBERS OF REPUBLICAN, COMMITTEE ASKING THEM TO DECLARE.

The Alabama referees of President Roosevelt in the matter of federal patron- age have addressed an open letter to cer- tain members of the republican state com mittee. asking them to make an open declaration of their position about re- ceiving negroes into their councils. The letter is as follows:
 "An open letter to W. I. Wellman, 5. l.. Dryer ]. H. Bingham, T. H. Miller, I. Pollock, P. H. Smith, F. T. Hudson, l.. H. Reynolds, w. w. Wadsworth, w. 5. Nichols, T. B. Morton, Walter Stephen son, William Vaughan and J. w. David- son, members of the state committee:
 Gentlemen = From general reports, from letters and published interviews, you are charged with holding that no colored man, although duly qualified un- der the constitution and laws of this state, shall be permitted to participate in our party councils because of his color. In justice to you who may be misquoted and misunderstood we respectfully ask that you will in some public way declare your position in this matter.
 For our part we hold to the broad proposition that no color line shall be drawn in the republican party of Ala bama.
 'The majority or the SLdte cOuAilttSS went on record endorsing this proposi- tion at the Birmingham meeting May l2 last.
 "We ask you what are the differences in our party unless it be on this ques- ton of the color line?
 We have lately learned that some Of the leaders of the so-ealled lily white movement have been whispering to color ed men. We are going to admit colored men into our convention next year We ask you to declare openly what you profess secretly.
 You are members of the republican state committee, and as such owe to the republicans of the state to let it be known where you stand on this great issue.
 "If you do not soon declare yourselves, will not the republicans generally be justified in concluding that the reports are true and that you are indeed lily whites and are opposed to the administra- tion's policy to uphold our national plat forms?

WILL MACHEN RUN AWAY
he Indicted Postoffice Department
Official and Canadian prospects.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Should August
w. Machen's bond be increased and
could he be eXtradited if he found it
convenient to take a fishing trip to
Canada! THESE are questions tina are
being generally discussed here. Mr..
Machen is now under bond for sec, 600,
This bond was regarded as sufficient,
especially q sin the view of the district
attorney at least II of the indictments
against him would make him extradi-
table should it be necessary TO resort
10 SUCH proceedings. But there are
good lawyers who express the opinion
that there is great doubt about this
matter. The legal officers would lain
tam that he woGl De eXtraditable, but
that has been maintained before when
the results did not sustain the belief
OF the officers OF the court.
Ihere are some men who have very
carefully considered all the evidence
that has been made public in relation
TO the case OF Mr.. Nachen WHO do not
believe that he government will win
in its case against him and they do
not believe there is any danger of Mr..
Machen attempting to set beyond the
1urlsdlction or the courts. They there
fore consider h suggestion that has
been for an increase of his
bond as of little Importance. But those
who think hat the bond should he
greater take exception TO what thew
understand to be the attitude of the
prosecuting attorney. Mr.. Machen is
seen on the streets of Washington al
most daily. He told a friend a few
days ago that he had no fear that they
would get him."
