SAYS CITY NEEDS
 ROGUES GALLERY
POLICEMEN REQUIRED TO LOOK THROUGH A LARGE NUMBER OF PICTURES TO IDENTIFY A sUs- PECTED PRISONER.

The detective department of Birmlng- ham will ask the city to provide 1t with rogues gallery Members say that a good cabinet cannot only be secured for a small sum, but that it will facilitate the department in identifying prisoners who are arrested as suspects. Under the present plan. they say, 1t takes whole day to go through the thousands of pie lures In the office if a man is arrested md they desire to look up his record and see if he is wanted elsewhere
 T do not suppose there is another city the size of Birmingham in the United States" said Detective George Bodeker yesterday afternoon, that is without a rogues gallery. We are actually ashamed to tell officers who come here from other cities that we are without any kind of a cabinet in which pictures may be kept systematically
 Nearly every day some of us arrest a man who bears a resemblance to some picture we may have seen. If we look it up 1t requires almost an entire day. With a small expenditure the city could assist us materially. We need not only a rogues gallery but a system of meas

It was impossible yesterday to secure any more accurate estimates of the losses and insurance from the fire of Tuesday night when the five-story brick building of the Moore & Handley Hardware Co.,, on Avenue A. and Twentieth street, was completely destroyed by fire and three two-story buildings in the rear of this building on Avenue A were either de- stroyed or badly damaged
 The loss from the fire Is in the neigh borhood of $3OO0OO, but it will be sev- eral days before correct statement of the loss and the insurance can be had. The company will have to check over it's stock in the other warehouse and find exactly what was in the building destroy ed The insurance policies will also have to be examined before the exact amount of insurance can be stated.
 The company will probably rebuild. B. r Moore, one of the members of the firm,

FOOTBALL NEEDS
 RADICAL CHANGE Harvard Coach Takes Decided
 Stand for Revision BRUTALITY AN A0VAN FACE Evasions of the Rules Can Not Be Stopped Entirely Because They
 Gan Not Be Seen By
 the Umpire.

Cambridge. Mass, November S-In a letter to John D. Merrill secretary of Harvard Graduated Athletic association. the text of which will be published in the Harvard Crimson tomorrow, William T.. Reid, Jr., head coach of the football team, takes the stand that the game of foot ball as at present played needs to be changed radically.
 Coach Reid says the evils attending the game are of such a nature that more technical revision of the rules will not suffice to dispell them.
 His letter follows:
 Cambridge, November S. 1895. John D. Merrell, Secretary Harvard
 Graduates Athletic Association: Dear Sir: After several years experi- ence with intercollegiate football, after careful consideration of the criticisms which have been made of the game, and after many but honest fruitless efforts to change it so that the criticism could be avoided, I have become convinced that the game as 1t Is played today has funda- mental faults which cannot be removed by any mere technical revision of the rules. Although l am willing to admit that the necessary roughness of the game may be objectionable to some people that appears to me to be as much less serious than the fact that there is distinct ad- vantage to be gained by brutality and evasions of the rules, offenses which In | many instances the officials cannot stop because they are committed when the player and the ball also are hidden from the eyes of the umpire. For these req sons I have come to believe that the game ought to be radically changed.
 'I therefore respectfully request your association which represents the alumni of the university, to appoint committee whose duty it shall be to make a careful investigation of the question. and to re- port such alterations in the game as will remove the unfair advantage now ob- tained from violation of the rules will put higher premium on skill, make mere might and strength of less value, and will produce more scientific ana interesting sport Very truly yours,
 "W. T. REID, JR."

The rear and side walls of these buildings fell in early yesterday morning. and the department had hard fight in these buildings after the fire had been controlled in the larger build- ing. A stream of water was played on the ruins of these buildings all day yes terday.
 The fire originated Tuesday night at 10 o'clock on the third or fourth floor of the Moore and Handley building and spread rapidly. The rapid spread was probably due partially to the fact that there was flight of stairs near where the fire originated and that the aii caused draft up the steps. All other openings in'the building were protected by automatic fire doors
 The building was on the corner of Ave nue A and Twentieth street. The esti- mated loss from the fire was 0O0 and 1t is stated that the buildings and con tents were fully covered by insurance.

 While Mir. Bodeker was telling of a few needs of the detective department he was going through a huge stack of photographs on his desk. One of the first he picked up was one showing the com binations of the different kinds of safes blown open by Miller and Duncan the celebrated safe blowers. It was designed by H.

He said that it was not a settled fact where the com pany would build, but that it would have to have a warehouse and offices. The firm will open temporary headquarters as soon as a suitable building can be secured.
 The fire department did not complete it's work until late yesterday afternoon Five streams of water were kept on the ruins practically all day, as they were smouldering in many places and were apt to break out in flames at any time.
 Additional sections of the walls of the building fell yesterday morning early and now practically nothing remains but the front wall of the big building and DOT tion of the side walls on either side.

They were counsel on opposite sides of the case of Mrs Marga- ret Benedict against the Georgia Railway and Electric Co.,, MT. Smith appearing for the plaintiff and MT.

Do you mean to reflect upon me?' asked MT. Smith. q meant just exactly what I said," Mir. Rosser replied. With that MT Smith jumped down from the witness stand and before anyone could interfere, struck MT. Rosser a heavy blow in the face near the eye. They were soon separated and MT Rosser went out and had his wound dressed The attorneys afterwards apol- ogized to the court, and the trial was allowed to proceed.
