IRON MARKET HAS UPWARD TENDENCY Buying Not Confined to Any
 Particular Line COKE MARKET IS STRONG Immense Business In Rails and Rolling Stock-steeI Companies Will Find
 1905 a Record-Breaker-un-
 precedented Rush.
COKE MARKET IS STRONG

The southern iron market Is still strong. While SIP for No. 2 continues to be the quotation, the tendency is unmistakably upward There has been no large buying movement since July, but the volume of new business for September will make a very good showing.
 Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati re- port of yesterdays date follows:
 The week has been an increased volume of business in all lines. Buying of pig iron is not confined to any particular grade, but has ranged most generously through the entire list. number of purchases of good size have been made, and there is the continual presence of in quiries for large tonnage. Buyers are more and more interested in extended delivery during eoe. Malleable has had a strong call but is not far ahead of other grades. There is less inclination on part of independent furnaces to shade the market than for some time past, and the southern schedule is more firmly es- tablished and observed than for several months In the north figures have ad- vanced slightly and prices are strong. A number of furnaces in both the north and south have withdrawn from the market for early shipment and delivery during the balance of the year. On business for next year, they are quoting advanced figures for first quarter and are reluctant to consider anything beyond April |. It is conceded that consumption, which has been heavy during the entire year so far, is now bound to show a great increase, and manufacturers are demanding deliv- cries right up to contract specifications in consequence The tendency of values Is in an upward direction.
 Tremendous business in rail and rolling stock equipment continues to be placed companies has contracted for something like ,ooo tons more rail for eoe deliv- cry than was placed for eo5. Unless all indications fail 1906 will show the great est business yet recorded for the steel companies.
 The coke market is strong, many opera tors have withdrawn for further business this year, and have set a higher scale for Ieo6 Too much emphasis cannot be laid on the difficulties which are beginning to be experienced and will continue to stand out prominently in connection with car supply. All the railroads report un- precedented crop demands. which must be met As has been the case in the past, this will be done at the expense of pig iron and coke movement, and those who have a small supply, or depend on period- ical shipments, will doubtless suffer in consequence, unless exercising unusual foresight.

FIRE APPARATUS
 TO ARRIVE ON TIME
LETTER TO CHIEF WALTON SAYS THAT TWO NEW HOSE WAGONS MAY BE EXPECTED ON ocTo- BIER 2t.

The two new hose wagons ordered by the city in August will probably be in service sometime between October 2l and November 1. A letter saying they would reach Birmingham on or between these dates was received yesterday by Chief Walton of the fire department It was from the manufacturers, the American La France Fire Engine company, Elmira N. Y.
 Chief Walton announced that the wa gons would be stationed at the new sta tions at Richmond Place and at Like view. This will mean an increase in the fire fighting force and a decided improvement in the fire equipment of Birmingham.
 This Is only another step in the diree- ton of placing Birmingham on first class basis from an insurance standpoint. A building inspector has been appointed. in compliance with the agreement made by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen with the Southeastern Tariff association in February of this year, when the ques- ton of insurance rates was discussed at joint conference. Ordinances meeting other requirements of resolution passed at that time by the insurance men have been passed by the city council from time to time. and gradually the fire department is catching up with the growth of the city.
 After the new wagons are in place 1t is expected that the city will be in position to order other apparatus specl- fled in the agreement. It takes money to do all these things but the men in charge of the city's affairs say they will not stop until local property owners are enabled to get as good rates as enjoyed In other cities.

WILL TAKE MATTER
 INTO THE COURTS Citizens Will Institute Legal Proceedings Against Landlords CITY ORDINANCE IS PLAIN Residents of Sixth and Seventh Wards Will Fight Location of "Red
 Light" Distriet-Smith
 On Law.
CITY ORDINANCE IS PLAIN

It is understood that the residents of the Sixth and Seventh wards who oppose the establishment of a so-called red light" district in that part of the city will institute legal proceedings against landlords who may erect houses for deni- zens of the half-world. It is also under stood that the women themselves will be prosecuted and that persons who may frequent the resorts will be carried before the courts.
 As a result of the meeting of the police commission Thursday night, there was much activity yesterday among those who live in that section of the city. They were very much concerned about the confer ence to be held between City Attorney Smith and Chief of Police Wier, the com mission having instructed the chief to be guided by the law. The expected con- ference was not held. however, because both men were pressed with other busi- ness.
 Law Is Clear.
 "The law is very clear on the sub ject," said City Attorney Smith. "The Sliy COut IONSiS tnC ChhiiC potS'Aois oh0 all I can do is to point out the sections to Chief Wier, who is doubtless already familiar with them As I have told those making inquiries in the premises, If the police fail to do their duty the citizens have many recourses."
 In making this statement the city at torney turned to section 570 of the city code and said: This section prohibits any person from permitting any house owned by him or under his control to be kept or used as a boarding house for such purposes MT. Smith also referred to other laws.
 Section 571 makes 1t an offense to keep or to be interested in keeping any house for immoral purposes. It also makes 1t an offense for any one to resort thereto.
 Another Section.
 Sections 572-73-74 declare such houses to be nuisances and provide a complete method whereby the citizens can abate the same," said the city attorney I shall point out these sections to Chief Wier, and I am quite sure that he is as desirous of seeing the law carried out as I ann
 Chief Wier said he expected to see the Clly dlAOllicy dS oooii dS PoSSADiNs AAS AS anxious to do his duty as prescribed by the law, but does not wish to go beyond his authority.
 'I shall be guided by the police com mission entirely" said Chief Wier. Tt has said that 1t recognizes no ''red light district, and 1t stands to reason that do not. Of course my plans are not com pleted, but I will do my duty as best I can. The problem that confronts us has had to be met by every city. Such places seem to bob up somewhere, no matter how vigilant the police force may be. l cer- tainly want to see that every resident Of Birmingham is given protection
 The chief explained that as the head or the police of Birmingham he could not discuss the subject as freely as under diff ferent circumstances. To tell of probable arrests, he said, might thwart any plans he might have.

He stated that he no- ticed that 600 men had enrolled in Au- burn He said that they came from the country and were going 10 the cities as soon as they became proficient in their special lines. He emphasized the fact that many men prominent in business and f. nancial circles were self-made and the opportunity for a good education now presented itself to everyone present in the shape of the Young Mems Christian association night school He said that the city men would have to educate themselves to compete successfully with the great number of country raised boys being educated to come to the citixs

 Prof. Irving w. Larrimore, who will be the director of the mems department made talk showing the importance of physical development. He dwelt at length on the importance of knowing how to swim.

lappearing in your Sunday edition,

herewith the outlines of story which
might prove of interest if "dressed

you to do should you find the story in
teresting enough to print. 1 only ask
that my name De withheld.
While serving as chairman of the
board of registration for the islands
of Kauai and Niihau some few years
since, in one of the districts where
many natives had already signed the
registration rolls after passing the
usual examinations, we were remarking
upon the uniformly good handwriting
of the native Hawaiians and the alb
sence of illiteracy. Many of the APP
plants were ordinary plowmen, team
sters, etc, still wrote as fine Spen-
cerian hand as many whose professions
demanded particularly good handwrit-
ing.
Often we were surprised to see beau
tiful handwriting flow from the pen held
in the brawny rough hand of an Ha-
waiian laborer.
Noticing an intelligent looking Ha-
wallan sitting near the table upon
which the registration rolls were placed
for signatures, I addressed him in Ha-
waiian asking if he did not wish to
register, and was surprised to receive
an answer to the effect that he could
90 ! l,
or perhaps for political reasons did not
care to register, L jokingly asked him
his real reason for not caring to regis
ter, to which he replied that he was
unable to read or write either the Ha-
waiian or English language (yet he
could speak English as well, or as poor
ly, as [ could myself) owing to the fact
that he had been raised in Boston.
My curiosity was now thoroughly
aroused. Had I not when a resident of
the cultured East paid in my money
that the "benighted heathen'' of Ha-
waii might be educated, and here was
a man who had been raised in the
shadow of the temples of learning of
Massachusetts, and could not read or
write.
I learned from him that his mother
hdl dIei upon Ine eve VI 0ho
departure of his father from Honolulu
in Boston packet, and that his father,
having no one with whom to leave the
child, had taken it with him on the
long sea voyage to Boston where the
child was raised to manhood s es-
tate' at which time he returned to the
land of the 'benighted heather. - Rails
ed in Boston he was unable to read or
write whereas his compatriots, raised
in far off Hawaii, could not only read
and write their own language, but had
also a fair knowledge of the English |
language.
L have often told this story to Bos-
tonians when they were in mood of |
self laudation over their educational |
and it has never failed to |
stagger them, and I have always felt !
they considered it but a yarn, still |
every word of it is true.
Yours truly,
