WOULD BE BAD IN NEW YORK.
Prot Kemp, of Columbia, Says Shock I Might Wreck Buildings.

" AAkhI WECCA 3U140lnkos
 New York Tribune.
 The consequences of an earthduake in New York were roughly outlined yester- day by James Furrnan Kemp. Professor of Geology at Columbia, who took as a text the recent earthquake in New Eng land. Damage from local shock, he said. would not be particularly disas- trous, though the outcome must necessa- rily depend on it's nature and extent. On- iy the smaller and more cheaply con- structed buildings would suffer. he de- ciared, and owners and tenants had little to fear from earthQuakes
 If. for example, the shock that Boston felt should be repeated here, he explained damage would be slight. The large steel- ribbed structures. like the Park Row and the Flatiron buildings, would probably rock and shake, but probably the top only would be affected, and the cornice work around the roof or the copings be snapped of. If. however. the anchorage or foundation of the building was inse- cure and the shock was rather severe, the whole building might collapse, he said, and damage would be almost cer- tain if the building were built on earth or sand, and not on rock.
 The effect of an earthquake on the sub way would be practically nil, he said, as would be the case in- regard to the North River tunnels. the Statue of Liberty, and the East River, bridges. Prof. Kemp also asserted that the Elevated or the surface railroads would probably not be dam- aged.
 Whatever damage there was would, he said. be in the lower part of Manhattan. on the extreme eastern and western parts, where the buildings are old and cheaply constructed, most of which would probably be ruined.

Railroad CataIpa Farm

Company is contemplating an experiment which means much for that corporation if the thing succeeds This plan is noth. ing more nor less than of making a ca- talpa farm; planting the large-leat trees over territory of sixty acres and this is done with a view of in after years making all the cross-ties of the company from this very serviceable product. The company has acquired about 100 acres just north of the city and will set it out in the catalpa tree. In a short time it is expect that the product will be coming from that plat in sufieient quantities to put out on the divisions here. It is ex- pected that the first consignment of sprouts will reach here during the week, and these will be planted at once.

WILL OPPOSE COMER
UNION MEN TO FIGHT HIS
 CANDIDACY.
Position on the Child Labor Law Was Nauseous to United Mine Work CTS and Birmingham
 Trades Council.

Birmingham, March N.--(special.) )- There is much interest being taken in Birmingham in the race for chairman of the State Railroad Commission, and the work being done by railroad employees against MT. B. B. Conner Is very notice able. Many people in Jefferson county are opposed to Conner and assert openly that he will be defeated by a big ma- jority. The United Mine Workers of America are said to he opposed fo Mr. Conner though not as an organization.
 The Birmingham Trades Council is also against Mir. Conner. individually epeak- ing. The fight made for child labor law, in which both the Mine Workers and the Trades Council were interested, before recent session of the Legisla- ture is still remembered. Mir Conner took a leading position in that fight. being against the bill which had for It's ob- ject the prevention of children working in mines and factories. Mir. Conner dur ing that contest evoked the displeasure of many laboring people. both union and non-union and there has been q system atic fight made on ham now that he seeks office in return.
 Members of the various organizations among the railroad workers are canvass- ing not only in Birmingham, but through out the county. Their efforts are in be- half of Mir. John V Smith believing that he is the strongest candidate of the three. However. 1t must be admitted that Captain R. F. Kolb has large number of friends in this county and reports l from country beats are to the effect that a wonderful vote will be cast for | Captain Kolb.
 Birmingham will divide it's vote prac- tically between Conner and Smith, but country beats will go to Captain Kolb. Therefore Captain Kolb has good show | ing in the contest as far as this county ! is concerned. The Railroad Commission ership race/ will be the means of bring ing out large vote in the primaries next
 month in this section of the State. | Good deal of conferring Is going on in
 Birmingham almost daily by friends of
 Messrs. Conner and Smith. It is learned that postage bill of nearly $40 per day
 is being paid daily by the Conner cam
 paign committee, while the printing bill 1 is no small item, as we'll as clerical and | office help.

Other deals are in the air. No positive statements are made as yet concerning deals under way on account of fears that there viii be an advance in the price of the prop nrlN.

BUSINESS INCREASED.
Some Cloth Orders Placed for Chin
 ese Trade.

Manchester, March H.-By mutual con- sessions there was some increase in the business executed in close of the mar ket during the past week following an easier tone in the Liverpool market and coupled with the exigencies of makers.
 Manufacturers were obliged to sell at the best prices obtaInable. in order to prevent the accumulation of stock and to keep their machinery working.
 Some orders were placed for China, but offers from Shanghai were mostly im- practicable. There were fair transac- tlons in India fabrics in some directions, but the better class of shirtings were neglected. miscellaneous trade was done for certain parts of South America. Prices were rather easier, being gov erned largely by the position of produc- CTS, most of which will make prolonged stoppage of their mills during the Easter holidays.
 Yarns were dull. There was an oc- casionaI pressure to sell but most of the users of American twists and wefles in the home trade operated cautiously.
