.ENSLEY ROD MILL NOW IN OPERATION Big Plant Was Started Up Yes
 terday Morning WIRE DRAWERS ARE NEEDED Mill Was Put In Operation Yesterday to Get Machinery In shape-Work
 Will Be Started This
 Morning.
WIRE DRAWERS ARE NEEDED

Ensley, April 12.-(Special)- 1.-The rod mill of the Alabama Steel and Wire com. pany was started up yesterday morning, but only a small quantity of wire was drawn. The resumption was largely to get the machinery in shape for starting up more fully this morning, when the company expects to have practically all of the plant running. although t.may be anywhere from two weeks to thirty days before enough wire drawers are secured from the north and east to keep the min running on full time. These men will be brought here as soon as pc ssible from other steel mills and the plant will then be In a position to meet the heavy de- mand for It's product.
 According to an announcement made to a committee of citizens at the city nall about ten days ago the rod mills was to have resumed yesterday but was unable to do so on account of a lack of coal. Twenty-one cars had been shipped Fri day but only four arrived at Ensey Sun day, and as the mill consumes about twenty-one cars day it was not deemed wise to start up with such d small supply on hand. Plenty of coal has now arrived, however, and the plant will rapidly be put in full operation.
 For a time there was some doubt about the Alabama Steel and Wire company be- ing able to make contract with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad con- pany for the water supply, but this has been satisfactorily arranged and the plant will now be supplied abundantly from Village creek and Birmingham through the mains of the Tennessee company.
 A number of extensive improvements have been made at the rod mill since it has been idle and the plant is now in fine shape to make a record for output. It is stated that a number of orders are already on hand. The matter of advance orders really amounts 10 very little, as the plant can sell all it makes in the Bir. mingham district. All that now remains is to get enough men on hand to operate the mill This will soon be accomplished through the energetic efforts of the com pany.
 The resumption of the rod mill will do much to increase the activty and hustle of the Steel City. When in full operation the plant employs about 1900 men and the pay roll gives valuable addition to the business of Ensley.

ALABAM|ANS ARE
 HEIRS ID TRACT Property is Located in Heart
 of Baltimore
MISS BENAGH IN PERSISTED
Congressman Richardson and Others From Alabama Also Belong to
 Family Which Will ln-
 herit the Property.

Columbus, Ga, April 12-6speeial.)- )- Quite a number of Alabamians including Miss Elizabeth Richardson Benagh of Birmingham, are interested in claim in. volving valuable tract of land in the heart of Baltimore.
 They are heirs under the Richardson lease, which Is said to have just expired, with the result that a goodly number of heirs in the southern states now have claim on property in Baltimore which is valued at millions.
 It is a coincidence that E. P. Dismukes, an alderman and prominent and wealthy citizen of Columbus, is interested not only in the Richardson lease, but also in what Is known as the Dismukes lease-a lease which has just come to light by reason of the Baltimore fire, according 70 information received here This is n ninety-nne wear lease, which has just expired with the result it is said, that the Dismukes family are now heirs 70 twenty acres of land in Baltimore, valued at SS, GOO. GOO or more. It is said that & 000,- GOO has been offered for the property. MT. Dismukes is not permitting himself to be too sangune regarding either of the claims but at the same time, in conjunc tion with the other heirs he $ willing to investigate the matter in a business-llke way.
 Interest in Richardson Lease.
 But it is the Richardson lease which will most interest Alabama people. The fol- lowing is history of the lease:
 MT. Richardson was an old bachelor large planter and wealthy merchant He leased land now in the heart of Baltimore, and started for South America with q car go of flour. He was never heard from, and he was thought to have been killed at sea. The property is now worth many millions of dollars. This property would be inherited by his brothers heirs when the lease expired or expires
 A copy of the lease was held by one of the heirs, the late Judge William Rich ardson of Athens Ala. but was lost when his law office was destroyed by the nor thern troops during the civil war.
 James Benaugh Richardson of Nashville, Tenn, one of the heirs, has had letters from the first lawyers in Baltimore on the subject of this Richardson property, and it is valuable, and the heirs think that it should be looked into.
 Among the heirs are;
 Judge Richardson, congressman from Alabama; Mr Thomas Maclin Hobbs of Athens, Mr. Henry Collier Benaugh of Nashville Tenn, Miss Elizabeth Richard son Benaugh of Birmingham Ala, form erly of Tuscaloosa; Mrs. Anne Richardson Jones of Nashville, Tenn, and Mrs. Ethel- red Philips of Columbus Ga.

many Of the citizens Of Lewiston today
who thought that the railroad situa-
ton had assumed an important aspect.
The Lewiston Dray company have been
engaged all day In hauling standard
railroad ties to the southern portion
of the city and the situation at once
became mysterious. Nobody seemed to
know where the ties were going and
whom they belonged to and every per-
son on the street was asking what was
going to happen. 1t was at first thought
that the Northern Pacific was having
the ties delivered to their old right OF
way in the southern portion of the city
and that they were going to begin i'm
mediate construction Of the line up the
Snake river Inquiry Of Agent Jordan
failed to give any light on the subject
He was not aware of any new railroad
construction.
w. Z. Mathews was found and stated
that there were three cars of ties here
from Orofino which were being deliv
cred to Father Post on the ground nea
the sisters school and were beins
hauled for fuel purposes. The myster.
was cleared up and the opportunity o
giving to the public live railroad stor.
passed away into oblivion.
