Baltimore, Feb. 10.-The night was
marked by two new alarms Of fire,
the fall Of a number of walls and
conditions of extreme discomfort for
the soldiers and policemen on guard,
the temperature dropping about 10
degrees and keen wind blowing
throughout the night. The weather
conditions, it is thought, were re-
sponsibls for the falling walls, the
orumbling mortar aiding the wind in
bringing down several of the ruins.
The flremen we're called out early
during the night an alarm Of fire,
in the lumber yard OF the William
Gill & Son, in the southwestern district.
The fire was extinguished after 1t had
done small damage, Later an un-
important blaze in the northern resi-
dence district again called out SONS
of the overworked firemen.
Owing TO the need OF police to pa
troll the outlying residential sections.
it was necvessary for the officers to
put in 10 and IL hours of continuous
duty and almost without shelter, and
the men were thoroughly benumbed
when relieved at daylight. Even the
soldiers on guard for but two hours
at stretch found this tour In the
icy wind long enough and considerate
officers permitted them to shelter
themselves In convenient doorways
and build small picket fires wherever
possible. Two companies OF troops
were kept on continuous patrol duty
in the ruins throughout the night.
A conflict with the military was re-
ported last night when one OF the maS
carriers, who was endeavoring to en-
ter the postoffices was halted by a
private. In the encounter the carrier
wah hit over the head with q soldiers
rifle but was not seriously injured.

LAND COMMISSIONER CALVERT
MAKES MANY RECOMMENDED
TONS TO GOV. M'BRIDE.
He Wants Change in Law Regulating
Sale Of Timber From the State
Lands.
Lands.

The biennial report of State Land
Commissioner s. A. Calvert was filed
with Governor Mcbride Saturday.
The land commissioner points out
that the business for the biennial
period just closed exceeds that of any
four years in the history of the Office.
Mr.. Calvert recommends not only a
marked increase in the salary of the
commissioner but also that his bond
be increased from $4,000 to 500, 900,
and that his chief deputy be placed
under $4,000 bonds. Average cash
balances for the day approximate
$4,000 which is quoted as evidence of
the necessity of higher bonds.
Mr.. Calvert, along with his other
recommendations, voices his disap-
proval of the Mccoy act regulating
the sale of state timber lands. He
condemns the measure as pernicious
and unjust to the school interests of
the state; as excluding from the list
of customers all who are not prepared
to log off at once the timber from
state lands they may purchase.
He recommends a change in the law
permitting the sale of timber so as to
allow at least 10 years for it's removal
from state lands
According to Mr.. Calvert, the state
law for the protection of timber lands
from fire is inadequate. He recon-
mends the employment of fire war
den in each timbered county, at the
state expense, the county to pay for
the deputies required.
In cOncurring with the fish COM
missiOners on the wisdom of selling
the reproductive portions of the state
oyster reserves, he urges caution in
disposing of them, and then only after
having been properly passed upon by
some competent experts.

LOCAL INTEREST IN fIeHT.
Battling Nelson Is the Favorite Among
the Sports.

The all-absorbing topic in local
sporting circles is the Jimmie Britt
Battling Nelson fight al San Francisco
tonight for the lightweight champion
ship of the world. The men will fight
at 1872 pounds and the journey is
scheduled for 20 rounds although
sporting writer's of the Bay City are
predicting that within twelve rounds
there VIII be a new lightweight cham
pion or that Britt will retain his title.
Nelson has became the challenger
through his brilliant ring perform
ances in defeating Eddie Hanlon, Au-
rella Herrera and the way he put away
Young Corbett less than a month.
Critics are figuring that as Britt was
only able to get a decision over Cor
bett after 20 rounds of fierce milling
and that Nelson relegated the Denver
fighter to the pines" in half the time
and more decisively, that the Dane
should be returned the winner. Re-
turns of the fight will be received at
Caswel's cigar store and at the Idle
Hour saloon. Private wires have been
put. in and operators will read off bull
letins as the fight progresses by
rounds.

Raw yecc.aslea ard eacilli.

The French minister Of public works
has just forbidden the culture of all
fruits or vegetables destined to be
eaten raw in ground which has been
watered with water drawn from sew
ers or likely to be contaminated by
drains.
This decision is based on the re
suits of recent experiences. which
prove that tuberculosis bacilli, which
lose their virulence at the end of
three months in river water, conserve
it for ten months in sewer water;
that bacilli that have been in the
ground are still harmful at the end
OF three months. and that poured into
the ground on which fruit and yege'
tables are cultivated they contamina,e
the products themselves.

Vital Statistics of lta!y,

Prof. Sorlnani has recently discuss
ed Italian vital statistics OF the last
forty years. His principal conclusions
are that the birth rate fuctuated be-
tween 1884 per l 900 QS7G) and 3349
GS9S), while the corresponding death
rates were 34.39 (1SG9) and 21.S7
QS90. The birth has exceeded the
death rate every year. In 1887 the
excess was 2.40 and in 1897 it was
1880. During the years 1929 the
population increased oy 10000. 900
Comparing the periods 18G2-75 and
1S97-99 he concludes that. owing to
improved sanitary conditions, there is
al annual saving of eight lives in
every thousand. At least 10000
people have been effectively saved
from death, and more than 100000
from illness during the period eH.
amined.

BOTH HOOKED SAME FISH.
And the Incident Caused Bad Feeling
Between AncIers

Between Anglers.
Funny things happen in bass fish.
ing. Toward the close Of the season
William Hammeyer of Winneconne,
Wis, was fishing from a beat with
HIS friend, G. B. Hamilton of Peru,
Ind. They were on Fox Lake and
fishing was not good, which made
them eager.
Hammeyer got a strike, fastened
his fish and began to reel in strongly,
determined to land his catch without
less Of time. Hamilton got a strike
and did the same thing. They had
been an hour without a bite and had
no leisure or inclination to watch one
another. The first fish after an
hours casting is apt to get on the
nerves.
When the bass was close to the
beat Hammeyer discovered that he
was bringing in his friends line and
said:
We're tangled! Let out little
line till | get this fish in"
Hamilton discovered the tangle at
the same time and said the same
thing. They glared at each other and
reeled furCusly.
With a jerk that ought to have loos-
cred all of it's scales pound bass
came out Of the water. Hammeyer's
weedless hook was fastened in one
side of its jaw, HamiIton's was fast
erred in the other They lifted the
bass in and looked at one another,
They agreed without words to call it
a partnership fish.
Both men had cast at the same in
stant, and their bats had struck the
water close together. Keeling in the
bats had come within couple of
inches Of each other. The fish either
struck both bats at once or it struck
one of them. felt the pain from the
hook, slung its head to one side and
got the other hook
