 SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS. ARCHITECTS AT WORK ON PLAN

The building fund of the Young Men Christian association grows apaee. Seven of the faithful workers were out on the canvass yesterday and succeeded in se- curing seven hundred and thlrty-eight dollars in definite subscriptions and cash, which makes the splendid total 10 date of SS7, ,753. 50 Deducting from this the amount paid for the lot and repairs on the association house s2o,72O.52, and there is left the sum of s17,o329S toward the s2O0O0 needed for the new gymnasium building.
 The directors say they are more deter mined than ever to continue the canvass until the entire amount is subscribed.
 The subscriptions are being rapidly col lected and the architects are nearly ready with the plans and specifications. The trustees are anxious to let the contract for the building. but are not willing to do so until they have more actual cash on hand, because they have no authority to let a contract for work that will cause debt.
 The following are the subscriptions ob-

REPORTED TRAGEDY
 WITHOUT FOUNDATION
Deputy Sheriff Cole of Battelle Was Not kilIed-Was In Birming-
 ham Yesterday.

Henry Cole policeman and deputy sher- if of BatteIle DeKalb county, Alabama, was in Birmingham yesterday and aside from his business spent several hours talking to his friends. Mir. Cole Is one of the best known men in his section of the state.
 An unfortunate and erroneous report was sent out of Fort Payne the other day to the effect that MT. Cole had been shot and killed by his own SOIL A cor rection of this report was sent from Battelle the following day and was print ed in the e-Herald. This correction was so placed that many readers failed to see it. Mir Cole said he desired that his friends should know of the mistake.
 Mir Cole left yesterday for Battelle his home. He was very much impressed with the improvements In Birmingham and ex- pressed the opinion that this would be the leading city of the south within a few years.

 The pig Iron market Is in a very healthy condition and producers and consumers alike seem to be well satisfied. Buying Is going ahead at normal rate and some of those who have been skeptical arc now purchasing on the advanced schedule. Rumors continue to f1oat around in rela- ton to prices lower than the s1o Birming- ham basis. for No. 2 foundry. but the fact that some of the shrewdest buyers are placing contracts at that figure demonstrates apparently that the lower quotations were old ones and not now enforceable.
 The advances in northern brands are well maintained and a fair tonnage of orders has been booked.
 The reports from foundrymen are in the main favorable. although in some lines there Is no noticeable improvement. To- days outlook indicates that eonsumptiou will increase faster than the outpus of foundry iron can be enlarged
 Several round lots of Malleab1e iron have been sold and other deals are pend- ing.
 There is no change to note in tho coke situation. Prices are firmly maintained.

SEEKS TO CHANGE
 THE BANKRUPT LAW
COMMERCIAL CLUB ADOPTS RE- PORT OF LEGISLATIVE COMMIT TEE ASKING CONGRESS TO RE PEAL OR AMEND LAW.

Chairman Escar Floyd of the legisla- made a report at the meeting yesterday afternoon on the matter of getting tho present bankruptcy laws repealed or amended In order that they might be im- rroved. The matter was referred to him at the meeting a month ago, and he was instructed by the club to investigate 1t and report.
 The club accepted his report and in- structed Secretary Gibson to mail copies of it to all the senators and representa- lives in congress, and also to all the com merclal bodies of the country, and see if some organized movement cannot be started to get the law changed. MT. Floyds report is as follows:
 To the Commercial Club of Birmingham,
 Ala:
 Your committee, to whom was referred the workings of the bankrupt law, beg leave to make the following report:
 That the present law regulating peti- tiors in bankruptcy is not just, and works q great hardship on both the creditor and the debtor, and instead of encouraging people to keep out of debt and acquire property, in many cases encourages them to be dishonest, and furnishes a clook for many fraudulent end unfair transae- tons.
 The act approved July 1. 1898, entitled "An act to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the onlleo States" and amended in 1903 is imperfect and under such provisions much irtnstice has been done the creditor and the honest debtor class of people, and which Is the cause for the widespread demand for IS repeal. and If it cannot be repealed 1t should be amended.
 Your committee finds on investigation that the bankrupt law decreases the amount of business done by officers or the state courts, and thereby reduces the emoluments several hundred thousand dollars in Alabama, and subjects the or ficers. of the state courts to many legal entaglements, which is very expensive to litigants.
 Your committee believes the law should be repealed or so amended as to dis charge an applicant provided he has not been granted discharge in bankruptcy within ten years. and when the amount of the bankrupts indebtedness Is not less than five hundred $500 dollars.
 Your committee also recommends that the law should be so amended as~ to re- auire the voluntary petitioner in bank ruptcy 10 state in his petition under oath whether he has within ten years applied for and received a discharge in bank ruptcy and if he has, that the petition be dismissed. That he should be required to state whether he has applied for discharge, and if he has and the same was refused. his petition should be dis missed.
 Your committee Is also of the opinion that no person. firm or corporation whose liabilities do not exceed s500 should be allowed to file petition in bankruptcy. This would maintain the dignity of the law, and prevent it's abuse by debtors, who by their honest and industrious ef- forts could discharge an indebtedness be- low the sum stipulated. Respectfully sub mitted. ESCAR FLOYD,
 Chairman.

BANKING STRENGTH
As Shown in the Birmingham Trust
 and Savings Co.'s Statement.

As Is Its invariable rule, the Birming- ham Trust and Savings company responds to the call on the national banks, and it's statement of March 9 appears in this issue of the Age-Herald
 The statement shows that the tlme-hon ored policy of the bank is being adhered to, viz: To keep always ready in the best times for the worst times. The total de- posits are s2, ,933, 935. 45, the largest eyer shown by any statement of the bank while the available cash is s1, ,62S, ,935. .O4 which means that the Birmingham Trust and Savings company has in available cash little more than 55 per cent of all its deposits. When it is said that both the state and national banking laws require only 15 per cent as a safe minimum, 1t cau be seen how very strong a position the Trust company occupies and maintains.
 It Is worthy of note that this policy Is being rewarded by steady and appre- ciable growth of deposits, the increase since the last statement being SS3,Ooo
