and to the District Commissioners. re-
spectively
Among other things in his report to
the superintendent of the school, Dr.
Woodward states that the investigations
of the health department have not dis
closed with even "a reasonable degree of
certainty the cause of the outbreaks of
sickness at the institution. He says. how
ever that the inquiry has indicated the
absence of a proper supervision over the
milk supply, which represents the article
o. diet most prone to decomposition, and
ne suggests that an Improvement should
be made in this matter, if it has not al
ready been made. He declares that at
the time of his inspection he found that
the milk was kept in dairy room or
spring house said room or house being
In very insantary condition. The
place he says, was permeated by foul
odor, the pipe from the dairy foul and
Shiny and the floor dirty.

quest. bears date of October 90 and this
will be transmitted to the board of trus-
tees of the Industrial Home School, with a
request for any further statement that the
trustees of that institution may desire 10
make. Mr.. Macfarland will also ask the
board what action it has taken in regard to
the practice of separating cream from the
milk supply of the institution and of mixing
or diluting the milk in the manner referred
to by the health officer in his comm unCo-
ton of October to the superintendent of
the school.
Under date of October 3, Commissioner
Macfarland addressed the board of trustees
of the Industrial Home School as follows:

MoToRMAN MADDEN PUNISHED
Man Whose Car Struck President

dispatch from Pittsfeld, Mass. last
night says: The distressing incident con-
nected with President Roos velt's visit to
the Berkshire Hills last summer, when his
carriage was demolished by an electric car,
killed, was finally closed today in the su-
perior court. The motorman. Euclid Mad
den, pleaded guilty to the charge of man
and was sentenced by Judge
Pierce to six months in the house Of cor
rection and ordered to pay fine Of $500.
81 The conductor of the car, James T. Kelley,
who was also indicted, had his case placed
on file. The case was, not tried for after
pleading not guilty last week to the indict-
ment the two defendants retracted their
plea today and threw themselves upon the
mercy Of the court.
Both men were very popular here, and it
was generally believed that in Madden 8
case, at least, sentence would not be great
err than a fine. But District Attorney Ma
lone, who came here from Greenfield to try
the case, severely arraigned Madden in his
statement to the court charging him with
criminal negligence and especially referring
to his reply to the President immedia tely
after the accident, that he had the right
of way. Attorney Turtle, for Madden, de-

cident was due to misjudgment on Mad

Headquarters Of Insurance Companies

Atlanta is now the sundisputed insurance
center Of the entire south. 1t is the south
ern headquarters of all the large insurance
companies Of the country, and millions of
dollars pass through, the agencies there an
nually," said James F. Fisher Of the south
ern city at the Raleigh.
'Al the offices employ numerous clerks,
while the list of insurance solicitors con-
nected with each agency Is a long one
The men directly interested In the insur-
ance business, both fire and life, who are
located in Atlanta compose veritabie
army Of workers.
1T is generally conceded that those en-
ployed in the insurance business are among
the best paid class Of business men, and
the money which is annually put in circula.
ton through salary accounts is enormous in
amount.
For many years Atlanta has been re-
garded among insurance men as the van
tage point from which ito secure business
in the SOUTH and they have established the
offices there through which a great volume
OF business passes 2
while ali of the big companies are rep

companies that enjoy large business In

For the most part the tree employed

Will Discuss Proposed Home,
THE RISE OF BIRMINGHAM.
Most Wonderful Iron Mining and
Manufacturing District.

"All iron manufacturers are now prepared
to agree that the Birmingham, Ala, dis
trict Is the most wonderful mining and
manufacturing district on the globe. The
fact is that Birmingham is even now the
price-ixing city in the pig iron and coal
market Of the world said Robert S. Ora
ham Of Birmingham at the New Willard
birmingham was not established not
even dreamed of, in 1870. In 1880 there was
a population there of 3,O0O Ten years
later there were 10000. At that time there
were furnaces in blast in various parts of
the district, coal mines were being operated
and the district was being felt substantially
In the commercial world. Not until 1879,
however, was the export business from this
district commenced, but during the year
1900 Alabama shipped abroad 23S,615 tons
Of iron. within $1,000 tons of all the iron
which was exported that year from the en-
tire United States
England, Germany, France Italy, Hol-
land, Denmark Switzerland, Norway, Aus
tria, China Japan, Australia, Cuba Mex
leo and the Hawaiian Islands obtained iron
from our state. Since that time the price
of iron In this country has increased so
substantially that none is being exported
now, but when the domestic prices fall
Alabama will again resume the traffic
across the ocean.
During the year ending with December
the Birmingham district shipped over $780,
wv toHS VI pig IRON, the production or
which was at a cost smaller than pig iron
can be produced anywhere else, and there
fore very neat margin Of profit was made
on 1t. This district was developed with
borrowed money. The mines were opened
on the credit basis. and the furnaces and
rolling mills and other manufacturing con-
Germs were built with money furnished by
non-residents
1.-THE several years Of prosperity, which
the iron market has enjoyed. have put the
district largely out of debt and when a
Birmingham district will be in admirable
condition to contend with it. Birmingham
is now turning out a good quality of steel,

make money at the prices fixed by the
larger manufacturers in the north and
west"

Failure of Medical Examination

Despite the rigorous examination made by
skilled doctors into sthe physical condition
of applicants for life insurance, J. w. John
son, an insurance agent Of New York, who
is at the New Willard bewails the fact that
1t Is absolutely impossible to detect that
candidate for policy is doomed. He said:
statistics gathered from the books of
our company show that five out Of every
thousand policy holders died within a year
of the time when the medical examiners
had pronounced them physically perfect.
THE deaths were distributed as follows:
Eighty-five in the first quarter, 11S in the
second quarter, 100 In the third quarter
and 1913 in the fourth quarter. The lowest
number Of deaths in any month was 49, in
the first month. The highest was 81, in the
seventh month. And yet so severe had
been the medical tests that no less than
10000 applications for life insurance had
been refused by the company.

southern Truck Farmers BUSY.

Present indications point to larger area
being planted In truck this year than last
in Alabama said c. w. Fores Of Birming-
ham at the Raleigh. "A much larger sec
ton. mostly In cantaloupes. was planted
last spring than the spring before. Truck
farmers and planters have been busy ever
since Christmas looking up catalogues, and
many of them have already bought seeds.
There are very few firms handling seeds
exclusively. and the only one in Alabama
Is in Birmingham. The cantaloupe crop
paid very well last year, despite the dry
weather. and there are strong hopes of a
good crop this spring."

Another time-honored Philadelphia insti-

the horse block should be banished, but
that 1t has so long survived it's usefulness.
Few persons now ride from house to house
in town. and to enter city carriage the
mounting block is an obstruction rather
than convenience. 1t has come down from
the period OF the high chaise. to mount into

The Snug Little Inns of France.

'All this talk about the decadence Of the
snug little inns of France is nonsense" re-
marked Mr.. Brown r. Chipley of New
York at the New Willard. 1.-The coming Of
the automobile was godsend to such inns.
and since people took to riding along the
beautiful roads in automobiles instead Of
whizzing along in dirty. sooty trains; their
patronage has very largely increased.

streets visiting two-thirds OF the

His biographer, w. A. Linn, says
that by Saturday night Greeley was
satisfied that the city offered him no
hope Of a living. He decided to leave
for the country on Monday, before his
last dollar was gone.
Il happened that some acquaintance
OF his landlord. who had called on
Sunday. told him Of an office where a
compositor was needed. Greeley went
there Monday morning before the
place was open. His appearance was
so uncouth that he would have been
