CAMP WILL HAVE
 A BASKET DINNER
ALL THE CAMPS OF BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT WILL BE REPRESENT ED ON THE CAMP HARDEE MoN- uMENT COMMITTEE.

Camp Hardee, U. c. ", is preparing for large basket dinner, and it is prob able that several other camps in the district will be invited to participate, specially those at Woodawn, East Lake, Ensley, Pratt City and Bessemer. The matter was brought up at the meeting yesterday afternoon, and Commander Abernathy was instructed by the camp to name a committee to make all the ar- engagements, and to make himself ex-of- ficio chairman. It was thought that this would serve to draw the Confederate veterans of the city closer together.
 The camp instructed Commander Aber- nathy to increase the committee to confer with the Sons and Daughters of the Con federacy relative to the erection of a monument to Confederate soldiers and sailors in Capitol park, by adding. the names of one or two comrades from other to be suggested by the commanders of the camp It was stated that the other camps in the district were interested as much as Camp Hardee and that they would be willing and glad to help erect the monument.

NEGRO QUESTION
 CAUSES TROUBLE

 o. Grounds.

St. Louis, July 16-Lieut. Sidney Haight of the Fourth United States cavalry, mil- itary aid to President Francis and direc- tor of military camps at the Louisiana Purchase exposition, has rendered his resignation to the board of directors of the fair on request of the war depart ment, which acted after hearing the req son of an investigation into the negro problem at the exposition. The investiga- tion was ordered by President Roosevelt.

 It was learned later that the Eighth Illinois was a negro regiment and Lieu tenant Haight wrote to Colonel Marshall,

FIREMEN PREVENT
 A SERIOUS LOSS
FLAMES DISCOVERED IN STORE AT 1928 SECOND AVENUE WERE QUICKLY ExTlNGUISHED-THE STOCK DAMAGED BY WATER.

A serious fire was narrowly averted last night about 11:45 o'clock by the prompt work of the fire department. Large flames were discovered in the rear portion of the store at 1922 Second avenue, occupied by the Hagood-Anderson company, and the Simmonds Tailoring company, and in five minutes more there would have been mean fire to fight.
 As 1t was the firemen were able to ex- tingnish the flames before they did any serious damage, and practically the only loss was by water. The stock of the Ha- good-Anderson company dea1ers in in- terior decorations, pictures and picture frames, was badly damaged. The water ruined much of the wall paper and many of the pictures The tailoring establish ment was not badly damaged.
 It will be impossible to estimate the loss until tomorrw, when the proprIetors can see the extent of the damage to their stock.

REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE
Bessemer Waterworks Company Has Taken Steps to Increase the city's Water SuppIy-The Personal
 and General News.

Bessemer, July 16.-(Special.) )-It is stated on positive authority that the Woodward mines at Woodward will resume work on full time Monday morning. Some little trouble arose last Thursday over the question of the company saving out the benefit money from the wages of the miners.
 Since Wednesday the mines have been practically closed down, and dur ing that period the company has made some necessary repairs.
 When a suspension is on it is the rule of the mine workers that $1 per week be taken out of the employed miners wages for the benefit of the other men that are not working. It is understood that some of the miners disagreed among themselves as to the paying of the benefit money and held a mass meeting at Brighton Wednes- day night to discuss the matter. All the differences, it is stated have been settled, however, and the men will all go to work Monday. The contract un- der which they are working is tenn porary one, having been signed shortly after the suspension of work by the United Mine Workers of this district.

PORT ARTHUR'S FALL
SEEN IN HILO
COMPLAINTS MADE TO SHERIFF
ANDREWS THAT THE FALL rs
TOO NOISY.

HlLO November S.-Complaiut has
been made to Sheriff Andrews Of the
midnight disturbances caused by the
| Japanese tent show ON FurneauN lane
| near Front street Some time ago and
| from time to time since the destruction
of the Japanese theatre on Ponohowai
street the theatrical company have
given their exhibitions i'm tent at
the above place. Objection was rails
ed at that time and the sheriff promised
to heed the wishes of the citizens who
live i'm that vicinity. The inmates Of
a boarding house nearby getting wind
of the proposed performance on the
Emperor's birthday tried to forestaH
the show, by filing a protest day in
advance with Sheriff Andrews. Not
withstanding this, however, the Japa-
nese performers put up their tent and
Thursday Friday and Saturday nights
proceeded to make night hideous with
the repetition of the fan of Port Ar
thur, with the accompaniment Of firing
of bombs and clatter of cymbals. In
quiry at the police station develops the
fact that Captain Rowland issued the
permit for the performances.
The celebration of the Emperor's
Birthday, which occurred on Thursday
November 3rd, was very markedly felt
in domestic and business circles in
Hawaii. The entire japanese popula-
ton of the Territory turns out on this
occasion, and this year especial zest
was given to the anniversary on ac-
count Of the war. 1t had been fondly
anticipated by the japanese that Port
Arthur would fall on the Emperors
birthday when a final and decisive as
sault would be made on the Russian
stronghold. Ten years ago the Japa-
nese began a similar assault on Port
Arthur on the Emperor's birthday, but
the garrison did not fall until three
days storming.
In Hilo and on nearby plantations
every Japanese no matter how poor he
was, displayed on flag staff or draped
i'm front of his residence flags and BAN
ners bearing the national colors of Jap
an. Thursday found many housewives
who employ Japanese servants, doing
their own work, and a general holiday
was declared on the plantations. Bombs
and day rockets were fired all day long
into the night. Wrestling, Japanese
luaus and two shows representing the
fall of Port Arthur proved drawing
cards for the jubilant Jap. Toasts of
sake were passed over festal boards
and many European friends took Ca
sion to express "Banzai" or success to
the japanese cause.
A happy good humor peTvaded the
atmosphere everywhere, and the day
passed off without any casualties
