COMMITTEE WILL LET
 NO MORE CONTRACTS
DeskS for New Buildings Purchased and Only Technolcgical Equip
 ment Remains to Be Bought.

The committee from the Board of Ed ucation. which has for several days been hard at work considering bids for the equipment of the three new school build ings, has postponed the awarding of the contracts for the remainder of the fur niture and equipment for several weeks.

 Work on all the buildings is progress ing rapidly and the contractors state that they will have them all ready when the fall term begins, but of course it Is ' not impossible that delays or accidents might occur. and 1t cannot be said yet whether they will be completed by Sep tember g or not. It Is thought, however, that they will, provided no accidents occur.

PRISONER BROUGHT HERE.
Negro Charged With Attempted crlmi- r-. Assault at Republic Ia Here.

Charles Allen, the negro who was ar rested at Republic Sunday. charged with attacking Mrs. John Isaac nt that place, was brought to Birmingham yesterday by Deputy Sheriff J. F. Brents of Coal burg.
 It seems that Allen attempted to make criminal assault upon Mrs Isaac. at least such was t1ne opinion of the citizens of the community. Allen had a narrow es- cape from an enraged mob. The negro was rescued from the crowd of infuriated citizens by Deputy Brenss oniy after he had received rough treatment from them. His shirt was torn from him, he was abused. assaulted and otherwise roughly handled.
 Deputy Brents secured the man and promised to take him at once to Brming- ham. He thought this imprudent, how ever, and used it only as a blind to the crowd. He kept the man at a house in Warner all night and brought him safely here this morning.
 Allen claims that he was only asking for food from Mrs. Isaac, but it is said that he made an attack upon ner and that only her screams saved her.

INDOOR BASEBALL.
Y. M. c. A. to Begin Series of Games
 Tonight.

The Y. M. c. A. will open series or indoor baseball tonight, and will continue every Tuesday night during the month.
 The game is rather new to the Birming- ham public, but is very much like the out door game. It Is very fine owing to it's ouickness, and like all others, uninterest- ing if not played well. This, however, is thought to be remedied by the careful se- lection of the players. As 1t now looks. all the teams are more evenly matched than they have ever been before. The battery was first selected, and then the rest of the team. The boys have been playing for the past three months, and are in pretty good playing condition.
 The names of the different teams have been selected from the nicknames of the National league teams. and seem to be very approprlafe-the Colts, Colonels, Pirates and the Giants The Colonels will play the Pirates and the Giants will play the Colts tonight All the friends of the Y. M. c. A. are invited to these games. Light refreshments will be served to the players and their friends

J. T. Mullin who has been chief of the Birmingham fire department for the past sixteen years, will hand his resignation to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the city when they meet in regu,ar session take effect August 1.
 While Chief Mullln has had this move in mind for some time, and Q little inkling of 1t has now and then reached the ears of the public, the announcement will be a surprise to most of the people of the city.
 Mir Mullin makes no announcement of his plans for the future, and there was a tone of regret in his tremulous voice yesterday as he made the announcement that he would resign his position as head of the department that he has served so long and faithfully.
 He said: q will file my resignation with the Mayor and Board of Aldermen We'd nesday night and ask that 1t take effect August 1. Up to few months ago I had desire to complete twenty years in the service, but for the past few months have thought seriously of giving up my position.
 'It is with keen regret mat I leave the department I love every man that has served with loyalty under me. and feel that 1t will be like a large family broken up when I leave have been so closely identified with my men that hate to leave them, but reel that 1t is time for me to step aside and allow an- other to take my place.
 TT cannot say who my successor will me. but hope to see the department go on improving in the future and hope that during my successors term the city will be able to better equip it and make 1t as strong as the citys size and importance demands. I shall always reef an interest in the department and the men who have stood by me faithfully in every emer- gency and through some of the most try ing scenes that any department ever ex- perlenced
 T regret very much that I had the misfortune to lose two of my best men during my term as chief F. B. Spruell and

CHANGES PLANNED
 FOR POSTOFFICE
REGISTERED MAIL. AND MONEY ORDER TREATMENTS WILL BE GIVEN MORE RooM--ARE WORK ING ON QUARTERLY REPORT.


 Assistant Postmaster J. n. Blakemore has not yet finished the quarterly report of tlIe Birmingham postoffice, but enough progress has been made to show that the local office has done an enormous busi- ness in the past tl:ree months.
 The report shows small decrease from the business of the winter months, but is far above any for like period in previous years. Every, department has done an unusually large business, and a recommendation will be made in the re- port for five additional letter carriers for the city. Five clerks for the inside of corresponding increase in the letter car fisrs Is needed.
 Owing to the increased amount of mail handled in the registry and money order departments, the clerks in those depart nlents will be given more room to work in. The registry department will be moved from its present place with the money or- der department in the far north western corner of the building to place just south of the office of the assistant post noster. The windows at present used by the rural mall carriers will be occupied by the registered mail handlers
 A door Is being cut in the partition separating the assistant postmaster's of flee from the adjoining room, which will be used % the registered mall depart ment The change will give both the reg istered mail and money order depart ments almost double the room they have formerly had. It is probable that the money order department will remain in the same room.

1 c. B. Huffman. the only men ever killed
 in the service of the department. q have been member of the Birmng-
 ham fire department for nineteen years and have been chief for sixteen years While the department is not as large as I would like to see it 1t has had a wonder full growth during the time I have been member of 1t.
 "When I first Joined there was only one fire station with seven men employed. There was one one-third size engine, one hose reel and four horses. When l was made chief there were three stations, Nos. l. 2 and (now No. 8 and about twenty men employed. Now there are six stations very well equipped with fifty six men on the pay roll.
 While I take no special credit upon
 myself. I believe we have one of the
 best disciplined departments in the coun- try. The men are all highly intelligent
 and loyal to duty. As I said before, it
 is with much regret that I leave these
 men who have shown me so much ap- preciation and have stood by me faithfully during all these years of hard service" While Chief Mullin makes no announce ment of his future intentions 1t is ru- mored that he may be asked to accept the position of building inspector, recently va cated by John P Lind.
 MT Mullins successor as chief is a matter of conjecture but the public mind seems naturally to be turned to William P. Walton, captain of station No. 1 at the city hall.
 Captain Walton has been in the de-
 partment for seventeen years and is re-
 garded as one of the most efficient and popular men in the department. He has
 been captain for twelve years and has the respect of all the men under him. He
 has been acting chief in the absence of
 MT Mullin for the past several years and has always given good service He is
 the oldest man in the department in point of. service except Chief Mullin. Captain Walton is fl years of age. Since the announcement yesterday after noon that the chief would resign the fire men of the several stations have started a campaign in Walton's interest.
