LIEUTENANT COLONEL

The military situs stion warns up as the
time comes for the election of a lieuten-
ant colonel for til Third regiment, A.
N. G' which will Y re held October IS. A
vacancy in this position was caused by

from the situati OH it-looks as If Captain
Hughes b. Ike nnedy would be elected
by large maj brity. His long service In

an officer give him the support of some
of the best limb officers In the regiment.
Opposed to Capts in Kennedy are Major
Joseph L. Daniels! who Is in command OF
one OF the battalid MS of the regiment, and
Captain Ed d. Sn nth. commanding officer
OF the Brandon Light artillery.

OF FRUIT GROWING.

Prof R. s. Macintosh. professor Of
horticulture at Auburn and state horti-
cultuist, was at the Hillman yesterday
under the new horticultural law passed by
the last legislature, 1t becomes the duty OF
Professor Macintosh to inspect all the
nursuries of Alabama. In compliance with
this law he is now making tour OF the
state
Professor Macintosh Is now inspecting
the nursuries In the Birmingham district.
At the hotel he told an Age-Heralo re-
porter about the fruit conditions of Ala
bama. Displaying a twig cut from
peach tree he pointed out a small speck,
scarcely visible to the eye. This he
said, rs known as the San Jose scale. one
of the most deadly enemies known to
horticulture They reproduce on the larg-
est scale known in animal life. One of
these small insects will, in one spring,
produce 5000, oOO.o0O scales"
During the past six months the depart
| ment of horticulture has licensed forty
eight nursuries In this number was one
at Huntsville one of the largest In the
country, and at one time the largest In
the United States
MANY portions of Alabama" he con-
tinued, is wonderfully adapted for fruit
culture. and 1 believe that under the new
law Alabama will soon become one OF the
leading horticulture states IN America.
Before any nursury can sell trees II
must be inspected and licensed. Under
the legislative act 1t Is also unlawful FOR
any one to buy, sell or give away any
fruit trees that have not been Inspected.
In this way 1t is hoped to improve the
/ quantity and quality of the fruit"

STILL WAITING TO
HEAR ABOUT RATES

Association at Atlanta.
FIRE INSURANCE MATTERS
Board of Trade VIII Give Tariff Asso'
citation Few More Days to Reply
Before Again Taking Up
the Subject.
FIRE INSURANCE MATTERS

Merchants and other property holders
in all sections Of Birmingham are anx-
iously awaiting news from Secretary
Fleming Of the Southeastern Tariff ASSOC
citation as to what action that body took
at its recent meeting in regard to the
insurance situation in this city.
So far not word has been received
by either Mayor Drennen, Simon Klotz.
president of the boal Of trade. or Cap
tain John G. Smith. president Of the Bir-
mingham Underwriters association.
In a. telegram to the Age-Herald two
days ago Secretary Fleming said that
he would inform Mayor Drennen of the
action Of the association just as soon as
possible but up to yesterday afternoon
Mayor Drennen had not received the
promised letter. 1t is probable that the
executive committee of the Southeastern
Tariff association is still considering the
matter.
The Board Of Trade.
At a meeting of the board OF trade
Tuesday afternoon 1t was decided to wait
Fleming before any definite action was
taken by that body. The time will ex-
pire Sunday.
While the merchants are anxious thai
something should be done they do moi
harbor any feeling against the insurance
people AS a matter of fact, It is SAID
local insurance men are doing everything
they can to get as satisfactory a rate
for their patrons as possible.
II have not heard word from tn,
tariff ASSOCIATION as yet" said President
Klotz of the board of trade yesterday
Just as soon as 1 do l will Immediately
take the matter up with the board OF
| trade, as well as the officials of this
city of Birmingham"
What IL Thought.
All property-owners, as a rule. seem &c
think that the Southeastern Tariff associ.
alton will ask an increase in the fire de-
partment of Birmingham, and the adop-
ton Of new building laws. Besides these
things It is believed that a building In
spector will be asked for. and that a sug-
gestlon will be offered that the water
mains be made larger.
In the meantime the merchants are 60

dens, and are calmly awaiting the de-
cision which they say means the loss OF
gain of 100000 a year to the property
holders Of Birmingham. 1t is estimated
that the increases In premiums on the
present basis will reach that amount
The city officials are very anxious to
learn Of the decision of the insurance peo-
pie as 1t will give an opportunity to an.
swer any charges to the effect that the
city OF Birmingham has violated the
agreement which put the city on first.

members of the board of alderman claim
that the city has not violated the agree.
ment and consequently are anxious Il
know wherein the trouble lies.
A reply from the Southeastern Tariff as

and then steps can be taken to remed,
the trouble.

Stradford and Officer Burke are expected
to arrive in Birmingham today at 1910
over the Louisville and Nashville with
Frank Duncan. Chief Deputy Stradford
| and Officer Burke were due to join the
other two officers and their prisoner at
Flomaton early this morning and accom-
pany them to this city.
The police department last night re-
ceived telegram from Chief wier,
dated River Junction Fla. which stated
that the party had arrived there safely
and would be in Birmingham today at
noon. The officers asked that their fam
lilies be notified by the department.
The Route.
According to railroad schedules the
three officers left Jacksonville yesterday
morning about o'clock via the Seaobard
Air Line to River Junction, where they
boarded the Louisville and Nashville,
making connection with the Cincinnati
and New Orleans limited, which left
Flomaton at 2:50 o'clock this morning II
1t was on time
The telegram received by the police
department last night was the only in
formation that came during the day by
either city or county officials Chief
Deputy Stradford and officer Burke
went down to Montgomery early yester-
day morning. The object of their visit
was to make a search for Myrtle Haas,
the wife of Duncan, who is supposed to
have headed for Birmingham.
A long distance telephone message to
The Age-Herald from its Montgomery
correspondent last night stated that the
two Birmingham officers spent yesterday
in the capital city looking for the Haas
woman. 1t was stated further that no
trace of her had been seen, and that
the two officers left Montgomery last
night to meet the officers with Duncan
at F1omaton.
Crowd Last Night.
Three or four hundred people gathered
at the union passenger station again last
night, hoping to see the officers come In
WITH DuilSetI- n ldTBe squad Oh pOUCe-
men In charge of Acting Chief Johnston
were also on hand. It Is understood that
the police department thought 1t was
probable the Haas woman would come
in on the train and every passenger get
| ting Off at Birmingham was scrutinized
carefully.
When Duncan arrives in Birmingham
| the police patrol will meet him at the
union passenger station, and he will be
driven rapidly to the county jail, under
heavy guard. At the jail a cell has
been prepared for him and 1t is probable
that he will be kept in chains until the
day Of his execution. Deputies Courson
and Love have been designated as the
death watch over the condemned muir
derer OF Policeman Kirkley. They will
watch MIN day and night.
| In case the officers should fall to make
connection at any point they will come
in tonight.
