FINISHED WORK OF
 ERE ADJUSTMENT
City Has Been Completely Gov
 cred by AdjusterS
NEW RAIE IN EFFECT SOON
Reports Have Been turned Into Office and the Work of Printing Them Is In Prog
 ress.

The work of readjustlng Birmingham on second-class basis has been completed by George ". Mills and Joe Raines, the two expert fire adjusters sent here by the Southeastern Tariff association, and their reports have been turned Into the local office and are being printed. They will be completed In two or three weeks, and then the changes will be made.
 At present a flat increase of 25 cents over the former rates, when the city was on a frst-class basis, is in effect, but this will be done away with as soon as the new rating goes Into effect. The new rating will then mean about an increase of 25 cents, on an average.
 Some of the risks will increase very little in their cost while others will be in- creased a great deal, according to the protection and the condition of the build ing, as well as the kind of stock carried. The change in rate does not apply to the sprinkled risks or in other words, the stores equipped with an automatic sprink- ling system.
 The increase In rates was the result, as was claimed, of the heavy losses in Birmingham. The Southeastern Tariff as- sociation executive committee met sev- eral months ago and ordered that the city be changed back on a second-class basis. and that until the readjustment was completed an addition of 25 cents should be made. The adjusters were sent here at once. and ever since that time they have been at work.

NEGROES LOOKING
 FOR GOOD MANAGER
WANT CAPABLE NEGRO TO TAKE CHARGE OF THE NEGRO BoYs' FARM-coUNcfLL AND WASH. INGToN WILL AID.

Judge Feagln has received letters from W. H. Councill, the prominent negro edu- cator and from Booker washingtons of flee in reply to his letters asking for a suitable young negro to take charge of the negro boys industrial farm near be on the lookout and see If he can se- cure the proper man for the place, and Booker Washington's secretary states that Washington will take the matter up as soon as he returns from the north.
 The letters of Judge Feagin were writ ten in connection with his plan to have a chicken farm and Q cannery on the farm near Tuscaloosa donated for the little negro boys by Sam Daley. It Is to this farm that Judge Feagin has sent so many of the little negro boys of Bir- mingham and where they are doing so nicely.
 Several papers throughout the north have commented on Judge Feagin's sys- tenn and stated that they thought he had struck the proper solution of the ques- tiOli Ol tilc tdlc ol tuC bNBl Otos HE p1O- bation system has attracted the atten- tion of all people interested in reforma- ton of any kind in this country, and they are watching to see how his proposed move will turn out.
 As has been said before, Judge Feagin wishes to start a chicken farm and a cannery where the products of the farm and the neighboring farms may be canned and sold at profit He believes that the little negroes can work so successfully on this farm that they will be self-support- ing. Just as soon as the Federation of Negro Women's clubs and the Preachers union appoint the committees which are to take charge of this work and as soon as a man can be secured to conduct the farm, definite action will be taken to- wards starting the chicken farm and the cannery.

 REPORT ID POLICE

Chief of police Wier nas plan in re- gard to making junk dealers report what they have purchased each day by which he hopes to prevent a great deal of the petty thieving which goes on in Birming- ham. At the next meeting of the mayor and aldermen the matter will be brought up in the shape of an ordinance, which will probably be passed.
 When Chief wier went into office tho aldermen passed an ordinance compell- ing the pawn brokers to report every day what had been pawned to them. and in this way a great deal of stealing has been stopped and many thieves have been caught.
 With the new plan the chief believes that he can catch many of the negroes who steal brass. iron and other metals from the railroads, and that 1t will break up the gangs that now operate in the city. The junk dealers will be required to send in an itemized list every morn Ing of the scraps they bought the day be- fore. The detectives will look over this list and then keep the reports on file for future reference.
 When 1t is reported that large quanti- ties of brass and Iron have been stolen tho detectives can keep track of 1t to some extent through these reports, and as soon as the stolen property is reported they can secure A trace by which to catch the thief.

AMUSEMENT
East Lake Casino.

The Century Minstrels drew the largest audience to the Casino that mas attended performance there in a week or two This organization is already quite popu- lar, and the individual members were ex- tended a hearty reception last night. The entertainment they give is strictly up to date free from objectionable features and decidedly clever.
 One of the best numbers of the olio is the eccentric dancing of Smith and Baker. They execute some steps that are seldom seen in the larger minstrel shows and win liberal applause for their agility. The musical numbers of the Three American Stars Is also proving quite popular. Their performance Is character lzed by novelty that Is often wanting in such entertainment Another good num- ber of the olio is the monologue, of whose jokes are taking well.
 The Century Minstrels are singing a number of tuneful ballads and coon songs that are worth hearing, while their quar- tette Is above the average In fact. the entire performance is very creditable, and the company will no doubt be greeted by large houses at the matinee this af- ternoon and regular performance tonight.

 EXTREMELY QUIET
No Important Move Expected

FARLEY AND FLYNN BUSY
United Mine Workers Send Letter of Sympathy to the Rev. Father o'Reilly as Ordered by the
 Convention.

At the headquarters of the United Mine workers everything was very quiet yes terday, and there was nothing to indi- cate the beginning of the first strike of Alabama miners within the past ten years.
 Everything was equally as quiet among the operators. Nobody seemed to be in a hurry about getting the views of the other sIde but were apparently willing to sit still and await developments. It is quite probable that there will be no move of an important nature on either side until next week, and there Is no promise of anything being done then. Mir. Falrley and Mir. Flynn were both absent from headquarters yesterday nor ming. They were out in the district but left no word as to where they had gone or the nature of their trip They re- the best of spirits but they said that nothing new had developed.
 Secretary Clemo has given out the fol- lowing copy of a letter that has been sent to Father P. A o'Rel.iy. who is now lying critically i'll in St. Vincents hos pital:

 A large part of the $20O0O0 derived from the recent sale of school bonds is to go towards the erection, the site and the furnishing of the new high school. A commodious building is to be erected. and one that will meet all of the demands Tor years to come. It is inteneded that the school shall have a seating capacity Of not less than 1900 pupils. In drawing the plans the architects will be instructed to provide for @ large auditorium, gymna- sium, laboratory, and sufficient num- Der of class rooms and offices The build ing will be several stories in height and it is the purpose of the officials to have 1t modern in every detail.
