COLD SNAP WILL
 AFFECT PRODUCE
STRAWBERRIES ARE HERE AT 5oc A QUART, HoLESALE-JAN- UARY BUSINESS ON MORRIS
 AVE. HAS BEEN SATISFACTORY

Business in country produce has been quite satisfactory for January. The mar ket has been supplied fairly we'll and prices have been maintained on a fair basis for all stuff handled by the Nor ris avenue produce brokers. The present cold wave will cause a marked decrease ir sales, but this slump will be only temporary. Very little loss on account or the freeze is reported
 Potatoes. cabbage, turnips and peas are sold largely. These staples are always in demand Tomatoes and lettuce are of fered pretty freely. Sales have been very good until the cold snap. Zero weather is not favorable to sales of these vege- tables One generally associates straw berries and cream with balmy May sun shine and flowers, and they seem out of season in Birmingham today. How ever, they are on the market and the people who don't mind the price, 30 cents per quart wholesale cat have strawber- ries for dinner.
 Eggs are very abundant with quotations weak at 1992O cents per dozen. The mar ket has been fully supplied, principally with the fresh product. Dealers expect the cold wave to strengthen the market. A choice stock of poultry is on the street. Prices are maintained at S5040 cents for hens. and 17@1S cents per pound for dress ed turkeys.
 Apples, bananas and oranges are the fruits sold most extensively. All of these fruits are quite plentiful this season.

 The Birmingham rate to New Orleans will be 10 for the round trip. Tickets are to be sold from the first of March to the 9th with the final limit March II. An extension can be obtained by depositng the ticket in the office in New Orleans before the 11th and paying an additional 70 cents The extension can be made until March 20.
 The rate to Mobile Is sS.O5 with the same conditions: The Queen and Crescent, Southern and Louisville and Nashville will have special equipment in Birming ham to handle the business.
 John w. Wood, travelling passenger agent of the Queen and Crescent route with headquarters In Meridian, was in Birmingham yesterday.
 Jack Daly, travelling passenger agent of the Missouri. Kansas and Texas with headquarters in Atlanta, was in Birming ham yesterday. He states that every thing is O. K. and that the railroad bus mess there is excellent and showing a steady improvement.

DON'T WANT THEIR
 LOGS KIDNAPPED Lumbernen of Ky File Charges Against Two Ala, Men INJUNCTION IS ASKED FOR Andy D. Dutton and A. M. McGeehee of Tuscaloosa County, Says the
 Complaint, Have Been Ex-
 torting Money.
INJUNCTION IS ASKED FOR

M. c. Forbes and his associates, who do states, filed in the United States circuit court yesterday a bill of complaint against Andy D. Dutton and A. M. McGeehee of Tuscaloosa county, charging that Me- Geehee and Dutton are systematically in- terfering with the transaction of the com- plainants' business, and are putting tho eomplainants to a great deal of annoyance and expense.
 The Forbes people want the court to re- strain Dutton and MeGeehee from contln- uing their alleged interference in their business. The restraining order Is made returnable February 8.
 Citizens of Kentucky.
 Through their solicitor Henry Fitts, the complainants state that they are citizens of Kentucky, and that they are engaged in the lumber business in the counties of Tuscaloosa, Jefferson, Walker and Blount in Alabama. They have, they say a lum- Der mill on the Black Warrior river, In Tuscaloosa county They are in the habit, they say, of getting logs on the banks of the tributaries of the Black Warrior river and floating these logs in the form of rafts down those streams and into the Black Warrior, and down the Black War rior to their mill
 The complainants state that these rafts are made as strong as possible, but in spite of the precaution taken, the rafts break up when the rivers are flooded, and the detached logs go floating down the stream. Because of the nature of the stream, it is, they say, Impossible 10 keep the logs together The result is that many of them go ashore at points above or be- low the mill. All the logs are, however. they say, branded with their mark. end cannot be mistaken.
 CompIainant's Charges.
 The complainants charge that Andy D.. Dutton and A. M. McGeehee have been in the habit of seizing these detached logs and holding them until the complain ants pay ransom for them. The com plainants object to this method of kid mapping their logs. and they want the court to compel McGeehee & Dutton to cease their alleged hod-up game. The complainants state that Dutton & Me Geehee have systematized the log-kid- mapping business near their mill, and have ''farmed' out among their neighbors the privilege of catching the complainants' logs and holding them for ransom.
 The complainants charge that they have been kept out of q great deal of money by this alleged kidnapping business, and that they are tired of permitting Out ton & McGehee to extort from them large amounts of money. They say that as they can't afford to bring individual dam age suits against the kidnappers for every log seized they have decided to seek re- dress in the federal court on the ground that the Black Warrior river comes un- der the jurisdiction of that court.

 For over an hour yesterday traffic on the street car system which runs near the fire was blocked, and for a time the current was cut off. Some of the large feed wires run at the so tn end of the building and the current was cut off of these for while to prevent danger from them The wires were not seriously dam aged by the fire or the water. Some of them are down, but they were of lesser importance.
 Surface tracks were lad as soon as possible over the hose lines, and traf- flee commenced again on the street car system. Many people were, however. forced to walk to and from their dinner.
 The fire broke out at the very hour when the largest number of people are on the streets, and throngs were packed in the streets adjoining the turning building, despite the cold winds. Some people stood for hours watching the flames.

He gave 1t no more thought until he saw the flames and then turned in the alarm"
 The fremen did excellent work in con- fining the flames to the one building, as there was a shed adjoining it which was filled with iron pipe. This was not even damaged. The entire warehouse and the and adjoining 1t were caked with ice by clock and the streets around the build ing are solid cakes of ice In many places. By dark last night long icicles were hang ing from the rafters and cornices of the building, and ashes and saw dust were

Wall Falls.

About 2:30 o'clock the wall on the west side of the building fell in, mashing in the top of the one-story building oc- cupied by Charles T. Lehman and caus- ing an additional loss. Chief Mullin an- ticipated the fall of the wall and kept all the firemen and citizens away from that portion of the building. thus pre- venting loss of life or injuries.
 The only injury received during the fire was by Fireman Charles Wade of No. 6, whose head was severely injured by falling material from the second floor. He went to physician and had his head bandaged up and then gamely returned to the fire and fought through the rest of the afternoon.
 Chief Mullin said yesterday afternoon that the suffering of the firemen was well nigh intolerable and that some of them were nearly dead with pain and hunger. Some of the firemen had nothing to eat from early yesterday morning until late in the afternoon. and this added tn their sufferings.
