WANT A REDUCED
INSURANCE RATE
BOARD OF TRADE TO TAKE MAT
TER UP WITH SOUTHEASTERN
TARIFF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
QUALITY OF GAS DISCUSSED.

The Board of Trade has again taken up
tile matter of reduced fire insurance rates
in Birmingham At the meeting yesterday
afternoon a resolution was passed in
structing the regular Insurance committee
of the board to endeavor to induce the
southeastern Tariff association to make
another reduction in rates.
The committee is composed of Oliver
Chalifoux, L. Piztz, f. Friedman, ]. 2.
Shelby, Isaac FEEDER and w. T. Cox. The
matter was brought up as a result of
the accounts in the newspapers of the
greater efficiency of the fire department,
and the smaller less In 1903 in comparison
with 1902.
There was considerable discussion on the
subject and it was the opinion of those
present that the association could well
afford cheaper rate. The committee of
the board was instructed to take the mat
ter up at once with the association.
Some of the members of the board also
made complaint that the quality of gas
being furnished the people of the city was
not as good as it might be. This mat
ter was discussed at length and resulted
in its being referred to the miscellaneous
and grievance committee, of which B..
H. Cooper is the chairman. The other
members of the committee are Eugene
Jacobs, E. Wall, John T. Yeatman, l..
N. Archer, George Cherry, J. Friedman

FIRE DISCOVERED
IN SCHOOL HOUSE
TEACHERS OF POWELL SCHOOL
KEPT THEIR HEADS AND KEPT
THE CHILDREN oUIET-FlRE IN
THE SOUTHERN CLUB.

The fire department had three runs
yesterday, and two of them were to
prominent buildings, and there might
have been serious results had 1t not been
for the prompt work of the fire depart
ment
About 1920 o'clock yesterday morning
a fire was discovered in the basement
of the Powell school at the corner of
Sixth avenue and Twenty-fourth street.
1t originated from basket or paper IN
the basement and caused considerable
smoke but no damage. People In the
neighborhood were wildly excited and
thought the school was doomed, but the
children on the inside did not know of
the trouble until some time after 1t was
over.
The teachers kept their heads, and in
this way kept the children quiet. 1t was
not even found necessary to ring the
alarm bell of the school and make the
children file out by the regular fire drill.
A large crowd Of several hundred peo-
pie gathered outside the school and SEEM
ed greatly alarmed. There was scarcely
q white person IN the crowd who did not
have q child in the Duilding, ana they
were frantic. They peeped eagerly into
tho basement Of the school to find the
fire and were agreeably surprised when
they found none. There were 700 chill
dren in the school at the time.
About 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon
flames were discovered eating their way
up between the walls of the Southern
club. The flames were just gathering
good Roadway when they were discover
ed and a few more minutes would have
meant serious damage to the building.
The fire alarm was sent in and the
chemical engine was used. 1t extinguish-
ed the flames in a few minutes and the
damage was not over $780, The fire was
caused by a defective furnace.
The other fire was small blaze on the
roof OK the house Of Mamie Duncan, a
negro woman on Third avenue, between
Twenty fifth and Twenty-sixth streets
1t did mot amount to anything.

LILLY WHITES MAY

If Black and Tans Succeed a
Revolt is Likely
SO SAYS ONE OF LEADERS
Anxious to Have White Men Run Re-
publican Party In Alabama and
Will Not Submit to the
Negro Rule Again.
SO SAYS ONE OF LEADERS

IF the republican party in Alabama
goes back to the black and tan policy
the lily whites almost to a man will go
to the democratic party in Alabama"
This rather startling statement was
made by a prominent leader in the lily
white movement yesterday and from the
way he emphasized the remark he evil
IDENTIFY meant what he said.
~ can never consent to again allow the
negroes to dictate the policy of the party
in this state, and 1 had rather forego
all my opinions on other questions than
to submit to such condition. | want
the republican party to be white man.
party in Alabama as well as the demo-
cratic party, and If l cannot attain my
desires in the party I have been affiliated
with for years, I will go in with the
democrats. bag and baggage
The Back and Tans.
"Do you think there is such a POSSIBLE
ity as the success of the black and tans ?"
was asked.
"Candidly, I do not" was the reply.
Notwithstanding all this talk about
IbOOStNtil whipping US llltO HIT, HO Soii-
tinued, IT believe we will yet beat them
out and we will have a representative
party of white men to regulate the af-
fairs of the republican party in this
state and will not be hampered by the
negro rule"
Two other republicans were standing
near, both of whom were lily whites,
nitI, ,ho
talking. While they said but little they
offered no objections to the statement
that the lily whites In case of defeat
would join the democrats.
Senator Hanna.
"Of course IL Roosevelt is again nomi-
mated" continued the gentleman who
had advanced the proposition, ''the move
ment for a white mans party in Ala
bama will be practically defeated, but
am here to tell you now that Hanna is
liable to sweep the Chicago convention
and the cut and dried Roosevelt move
ment will be overthrown, notwlthstand-
ing the Presidents lash"
From the remarks of many leading re-
publicans 1t appears that the lily whites
do not intend to accept the Inevitable
and allow Roosevelt to have the nomi-
nation without struggle. They believe
that Hanna is the only available man
and some Of them say a desperate at
tempt will be made to override the con-
vention at the last moment and cause
stampede of delegates, which they say
will carry him into office and save the
party.
The lily whites are evidently as piqued
now over the actions of the President as
when they received their first set back.
They believe that he has attempted to
ruin a movement which tended to ele-
vate the party in the south, and they
are still intensely sore.

The Howler's Endorsement.

The Newport Newsance warmly en-
dorses Ira Wade, but still warns its IL
readers that the last semi-annual state
ment as to the financial condition of
Lincoln county may be false. AS Ira
certifies that it is ga true and correct
statement" we have here another gilt
,ering exhibition of the consistency of
the Yaquina Bay Newsance.
Any citizen who is willing to accept
the report of Expert j. II. Wilson, filed
September l6, 1901, may easily examine
the records from that date, or get
some one to do it for him, and ascer.
tain for himself the amount of warrants
issued and paid 10 April l, 1904, the
date of the last semi-annual statement
OF County Clerk Wade.
AS every man knows who knows even
little bit, Sheriff Ross has nothing
whatever to do with the semi-annual
financial statements of the county,
and knows absolutely nothing about
them. 1t is a matter separate and dis
tinct from the duties of the Sheriff,
the Clerk alone being responsible there
for.
Matthews is such loyal friend of
Lincoln County that he cannot avoid
showing disappointment because it is
not completely smothered under a
rapidly increasing debt, thus making
good the calamity howl which he has
been pouring into his IL readers during
the past four or five years.
The statement of County Clerk
Wade is correct and open for examin-
alton, and that official will take pleas.

that these officials are under the best

that they are dishonest or derelict in
the discharge of their duties will result
