Clifton Heaven, age IS; George Fore man. age F, and Sam Holder, age IS, were arrested Saturday night for shoot ing craps. The last named made bond yesterday, but the other two are still in the county jail
 Several deputies were sitting on the wall in front of the jail when their atten- tion was attracted to the three young men, who were playing on a bench in front of the ice cream parlor on Twenty first street. The deputies caught the boys, intending to give them only a straight talk on morals and then turn them loose.
 While they were featuring to the young sters one of them made an uncalled-for remark to one of the officers They were then taken to the county jail and charges docketed against them. The officers state that gambling is too frequent among the young boys in Birmingham. and they hope this will serve as an example to others. When the deputies approached the boys were playing hard and were so absorbed in the game that they did not notice the officers.

FIRE RAGING IN
 TEXAS OIL TANKS
FORTY MULES BURNED AND LOSS IS $25o,000, WITH THE FIRE STILL BURNING - LIVES HUNDRED LOST.

Humble, Tex, July 23.-Fire started this afternoon in a tank belonging to the Texas Oil company, caused by lightning striking the oil The fire was held un- der control all the afternoon but began to spread tonight and twelve tanks be- longing to the company are certainly doomed.
 Eleven of them contained 100000 barrels each and the one struck had 23S,000 bar rels. The fire was started across the prairie toward other rigs, but it's prU- gress is held in check somewhat by a heavy rain. It may spread or may not. The loss up to il o'clock tonight Is esti- mated at fully one million barrels of oils, oI s2500O0, with the fire still raging.
 Some of the oil was pumped away, but the fire spread so rapidly the men were forced to abandon their work
 The estimate now Is that at least forty mules have perished, the drivers aban- doning them where they were at work digging new tanks.
 There are rumors but no confirmation of 1oee of iifa

DISPATCHES ARE SENT ID NICHOLAS Witte and NeIidoff Confer on
 Peace Terms FRANCE IS IN ACCORD Nj. Rouvier Assures Russian Pleni- potentiary That She Will Assist in Bringing About Peace
 With Japan.
FRANCE IS IN ACCORD

Paris, July 23-As a sequel to the con- Witte at the foreign office on Saturday. the Russian plenipotentiary held an ex- tended conversation with M. Nelidoff, the Russian ambassador after which a spe cial courier left for St Petersburg, bear iEg dispatches for the Emperor.
 The utmost discretion has been ob served with reference to the exchanges made at Saturdays meeting, but there Is reason to believe that the French premier is now fully acquainted with the Russian standpoint and with the line of action which M. Witte will adopt at the peace conference.
 M. Witte appears to be satisfied with M. Rouvier's assurances that France will adopt every possible means to assist her ally to reach a satisfactory arrangement. The friendly relations of the French gov ernment with Great Britain will un dcubtedly play a prominent part when the period for disefete exchange of views begins. It Is believed that this was the chief point discussed during the conversation at the Quad DOrsay, but until the lines are defined on which ne- gotiatlons will be conducted France can only permit the use of her influence for the best interests of her ally. Until new both parties have succeeded in keep ing their respective programmes from publicity and therfore assertions ema- mating from various quarters purporting to specify the claims of either side are purely speculative.
 It Is the universal desire here that the result of the conference be a cessation of hostilties, while the hope is expressd that Russia will be able to find an escape from her awkward situation without los- ing her national sefrespect.
