LOOKING INTO OUR
 FIRE PROTECTION
REPRESENTATIVES OF SOUTH EASTERN TARIFF ASSOCIATION WILL INSPECT THE FIRE DE. APARTMENT TODAY.

The work of inspecting the fire pro- tection resources of Birmingham by rep resentatives of the Southeastern Tariff association relative to again placing the city on a first class insurance basis is progressing well, and the inspectors ex- pect to finish about the first of next week.
 MT. Pierce, special inspector for the state of Alabama, Is doing most of the work, and for the past two days has been making a list of fire plugs and ex- amining the water mains. Tomorrow he will probably take up the inspection of the fire department. visiting each station and reporting on it's equipment and rela- tive location.
 The inspection of the fire department will probably consume only one day. The remainder Of the week will be spent In looking over the buildings in the busi- ness section of the city. examining their condition and ascertaining what pro- visions have been made for decreasing the possibility of fires in them.
 MT. McFadden, assistant secretary of the Southeastern Tariff association. who was here last week. will probably return today and will again aid In the work of inspection.
 There are six stations In the fire de- partment to be inspected, and one of the principal matters to be reported in this connection s the location of the stations in regard to the risks on property which the insurance companies have written. Mr. Pierces report will show the distance from some of the stations to some of the property in the residence portions of the city. and will probably give an estimate of the time 1t requires the apparatus to reach the scene after the alarm has been sent in.
 Several of the heaviest losses in the last few months. in fact most of them, have been in the residence portions of the city where the houses were far from a fire station.
 In this connection the property in the neighborhood of Lakeview. where there have been some heavy losses, Is at least a mile from the nearest station, which Is at Five Points. So also Is the property about Richmond Place a long distance from the Five Points and Southside sta tions. The property around Twelfth ave nue and Twenty-eighth street Is a long distance from station and the residents of Fountain Heights have no fire pro- lection.
 When fires occur In any of these local tiles the fire department cannot be blamed, 1t is said, for failure to prevent house being destroyed, as the runs are long and in some instances steep hills | intervene. All this information will be included In the report of MT. Pierce.

FALL RIVER 3TRIHE.


No Nearer settlement After Eight
Weeks Strife.
FALL RIVER. Mass, Sept. 10.-The
peaceful but determined contest be.
tween $37. 100. 600 of invested mill cap
ital and the personal comfort of 26.000
mill laborerS which began in this city
eight weeks ago is apparently no near
er Il settlement than ut its very outset
last July. Both sides remain firm. the
mill owners claiming that it is impos-
sible to resume operations unless the
l21a per cent reduction is made in
wages, while the operatives arc just as
determined against working under such
conditions.
Every week that the great strike has
gone on there have been rumors Of
settlement. but the succeeding week
showed the mills still cloied and TIC
hands still idle.
With winter not far distant the I'M.
ions have already begun to husband
their source for the drain which
must then be more severe than during
the summer months. The operatives
are still receiving money. and greater
care than before is used in handling ii.
The exodus of foreign operatives has
naturally been large, and lately many
of the skilled help have joined the out
going army, seeking other fields for
their labor. OF the foreigners the
Portuguese have left in larger num-
bers, and very few remain in the city.
Within the last few days there haa
been a persistent rumor of a resump.
ton OH Oct. 3, but IN Friday the weav-
ers decided to hold a mass meeting on
that day, which apparently shows the
report to be without foundation as fl.
as the operatives are concerned.

spanish Heiress" Conspiracy Reap
pears His Time In California.
WASHINGTON, Sept. depending
an investigation of the state depart
ment officials are disposed to treat as
a fraudulent scheme to obtain money
the information which press reports
from Pasadent. Cal. state has come to
a relative of Congressman McLuchlan
of California of the reported death of
Louis Blaisdcll in Il Spanish hospital
and the detention of his fourtcen-year-
old daughter in Il convent at Arajuez.
According to the views of the depart
ment officials the report bears the car
marks of the work of II gang of i'm
posters who have operated at various
places in Spain for Il long time and
who have obtained sums of money
from foreigners who have believed the
representations made to them.
The customary practice of these I'M
pastors is to report that Il parent has
died, leaving Il confession with Il priest
and a young daughter in his charge,
and the information is conveyed that
a certain amount of money is required
to obtain access to n data concerning
the location of a fortune which the de-
cedent is alleged to have left to a sup
posed relative in a foreign country.
The story is an old n to the de-
partment officials, and they have con
stantly warned the public against be-
ing duped by this and similar schemes.
The request which Mr.. McLnchlan, act
ing in behalf of his relative. has made
that an investigation Of the facts in
the cas- made by the state department
has not yet reached Washington. but
as soon as it does it will be taken up
for consideration.
