Sometime between midnight and 6:3O o'clock yesterday morning, the safe in the office of the Florence hotel was rob bed, the sum of $500 in currency belonging to Abner Powell manager of the At lanta baseball team being stolen. The robbery was reported to the police de- partment immediately after 1t was dis covered and the case is being investigat- ed. So far no arrests have been made.
 The robbery was one of the boldest ever perpetrated in Birmingham It was 6:SD o'clock yesterday morning when the night clerk at the hotel, Roscoe Steele, dis covered that the safe had been tamper- ed with. Both of the doors of the safe had been left open and the robbers had only to work their way into the hard wood drawer containing the money. Only one drawer, that containing the money of MT. Powell had been broken. Yes terday morning MT. Powell was reim- bursed by the proprietor, Robert H. For man.
 The office and lobby of the hotel are both well lighted and the clerk and bell boys are on duty all night which makes the robbery all the more daring.

INDUSTRIAL NEWS.

The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company will be held at Tracy City, Tenn, today. Charles McCrery, vice president and general manager; T. L. Beecher, secretary-treasurer, and Walker Percy, attorney for the company and also a director, will attend the meeting. AS the meeting will be only a formal af- fair President Don H. Bacon will not be present.
 The Wall Street Journal prints the fol- lowing: A director of the Republic Iron and Steel company says: q know of no intention on the part of the company to issue bonds, as reported
 For several months past similar ru- mors have been in circulation at inter vals without materializing It is believed that the revival of this rumor at the pres ent time Is due to the fact that efforts have been made to bring the three lead- ing companies operating in the south, viz: Republic Iron and Steel, Tennessee Coal and Iron, and Sloss-Sheffield, under one control.
 The experts who have been examining the properties of the three companies have reached point where they feel eer- tain that in order to carry out a merger of the three companies on any equita- ble basis, some sort of bond issue would have to be made on the Pioneer plant and ore properties of the Republic com pany, or that property of the company which is located in the south, and which would be included in any merger of these three concerns.
 Should the merger be consummated, and an issue of bonds covering the south ern properties of the Republic company be made, such bonds would be placed in the treasury of the company or be ex- changed for other securities should the merger be effected by the formation of a holding company. From present indica- tions, however, no actual consolidation of the southern companies will be made in the near future, and an issue of bonds on this account by the Republic company is entirely improbable.
 It is an open secret that the Republic company is badly in need of additional
 
 annual report it's working fund amounted to only $3,s64000. It is safe to say that the value of the company's materials on hand since the annual report was issued has greatly depreciated as the result of the general decline in the price ot steel and iron products, so that In all probability the actual working capital at the present time is not much more than $3,O00,000.
 Since the company was formed, over ss0oO.OO0 has been spent in extensions: s2.000,000 of which was spent In the Bir- mingham region. A director estimates that the value of the Pioneer plant in the Birmingham region is at least s7.OOo, ,OOo besides owning large amount of valu- able coal and ore properties.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO BE
 KEPT OPEN UNTIL JUNE 2

The Boz yof Education held meeting yesterdayE Afternoon at 12:sO o'clock in it's room. on the fourth floor of the city hall and rescinded the action taken on Saturday. closing the schools on May 20, two weeks earlier than was expected.
 The action of the board was the result of the efforts of several citizens who in- terested themselves in the matter with the intention of having the public schools kept open the entire nine months. They secured an agreement with President ". P. G. Harding of the First National bank by which the board executes note for s265O at per cent interest, payable or November 1, this amount being necessary to keep the schools open the entire term MT. Harding said the bank would be glad to furnish the needed money.
 Present at the meeting yesterday were President A. O.. Lane, James J. Smith, pr. Samuel Ullman, M. J. Gregg, Secre- tary J. H. Phillips, Rufus N. Rhodes and J. M. Dewberry
 James J. Smith, who offered the resolu- ton Saturday afternoon closing the schools, moved that this action be re- scinded and his motion was adopted pr, Ullman then offered the following reso- lntion which was unanimously adopted by the board:
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-05-03

"Be 1t resolved the Board of Educa> tion of the city of Birmingham that the president of this board be authorized to execute a note for s2s5O payable to the First National bank of Birmingham. No vember l, at per cent interest. for the purpose of continuing the session of the public schools till June 8, instead of May 20, as heretofore agreed"
 NIT. Rhodes made few remarks to the board, saying that his understanding was that the only matter that could be considered by the board on Saturday at its meeting was where the money to run the schools the entire nine months could be secured. He said that the First Ma tional bank which has always been ready to aid the community would discount the note of the Board of Education. Presi- dent Lane was instructed to execute the note.
 The members of the senior class en- tered protest when they learned the school term was to be shortened and were arranging for a public meeting Of citizens for tonight at the high school building to make known their protests. This meeting, however, has been call ed off
