Robert Jemison, Jr., president of the Jemson Real Estate and Insurance com pany, is very optimistic concerning local real estate conditions. He said yester- day:
 Birmingham real estate is in a better condition now than It has been for some time. In spite of the hot weather. dur ing which we anticipated a dull season, the activity has continued almost un- diminished.
 Building circles are quite active at present, and from number of recent sales, and other indications, 1t is the general opinion that building operations will continue into the fall. Our firm has had several inquiries in regard to busi- ness property, but, as might be expected, the greatest increase in sales has been in residence stiles. There is also a good demand for acreage property, and we have made or are negotiating several large sales of land in the immediate vicinity.
 Tt was predicted some time ago that the. high prices for property then preva- lent would have dropped by this time, but the prophecies failed, and there is yet a steady increase in values"
 The following building permits have been Issued from the office of the in- spector:
 Maj Joseph Spence to repair three- story brick building a Nos. 2l01-2le3 Nor ris avenue at a cost of so500
 Maj. Joseph Hardie to rebuild structure at Nos. 21o5-21O7 Morris avenue at cost of s12.500
 T. c. Mcdonald to repair brick store at No. 2109 Morris avenue at cost of slC0O
 c. P. Beddow to erect one-story brick dwelling on the southside of Avenue c, between Twentieth and Twenty-frst streets at a cost of $700

TERRIBLE DISASTER IN
The CUNN|S0N TUNNEL

working at the spot where the cave-in
occurred, the other men being further
In the tunnel
The spot where the cave-in occurred
had never been timbered, and recently
of the work, he considered it unsafe
and ordered it timbered. The men
were working at this task to-day when
the accident happened. There is a
theory extant that the work of timber
ing caused the walls to weaken and
precipitated the cave-in.
Every available man is being used in
three-minute shifts of the rescue work.
A shaft is being sunk On the north
side Of Cedar creek to reach the tim
bered work of the tunnel. 1t is hoped
that this will be reached in the early
morning. Signaling on the air pipe by
striking with hammer brings answer
ing signals from those imprisoned.
Work In the tunnel removing the
dirt progresses slowly. About 100 cars
have been moved out, but 1t continues
to fall in. The shaft will be the only
means of rescue.
Men work as they never worked be-
fore, while the wailing and weeping
children OF lne men Gagged in what may
be their tomb stand by. Most OF the
men are Americans, and their wives
are standing the strain in manner
inspiring.
Several knowing where their hus.
bands, were going to work, have given
them up for dead. Among them IL
Mrs. Steele, whose husband was fore
man of the carpenter shift, and Mrs.
Bluming kemper whose husband was
boss of the diggers. Steele was from
Oklahoma and Bluming Kemper from
Grand Junction.
Floyd Woodruff is Montrose boy.
and Grasse was from Colorado
Springs.
Offers of assistance have been re-
ceived from the miners Of SilvertOn
and Ouray, but SO far they have not
been called on.

SENTENCED TO DEATH
FIVE MEN AWAITING EXECUTION
Warden Of Colorado Penitentiary Has
Already Executed Eight Men-eee-
retary Favors Habitual Criminal

Denver. May 27.-With the convic-
tion Of Joseph Johnson at Trinidad on
the charge of killing John Fox there
are now five men in the state Of Colo
ital punishment act. These are Fred
Arnold and Newton Andrews, con-
demned to die in the week beginning
June 11th; Patrick Bremen, convicted
Of killing his sweetheart at Leadville.
to hang the week beginning July 2lst:
Charles o. Peters, to hang the week
beginning November 18th, and Joseph
Johnson. date not yet set.
All OF these men are under thirty
years OF age, except Johnson. War
den Cleghorn has already executed
eight men for the state. and IL he re-
mains in office and there is no inter-
ference with the cases. he will have
hanged thirteen by the end of the pres
ent year. There is the possibility, Of
course, that there may be others added
to the list in the meantime.
In discussing the capital punishment
act recently, Secretary c. f. Hagar OF
the State Board of PardOns expressed
the opinion that there was a bill be-
fore the last Legislature which, II It
had become a law, would have dono
more to lessen crime than did the law
of 1903. He referred to the habitual
criminal act. Under this act it Is pro-
posed that when a man Is committed
to the penitentiary of a state for tho
third time, he is to be declared an in
durable and incarcerated for the re-
mainder of his life.
The theory of this law Is that II a
man has demonstrated that imprison-
ment does not cure him OF criminal ten
denotes, then there is nothing left for
society to do but protect itself by put
ting him out of the way. Humanity
rebels at executing him, and, therefore.
he must be left in prison, that he may
no longer prey upon society or repro
duce his kind. Many criminologists
declare that executions and imprison-
ment do not have deterrent effect.
thus, the fear OF life Imprisonment
might not actually lessen the proper
ton of crime, but with the habitual
| criminals gradually becoming incarcer-
ated there would be a perceptible de-
crease in the number of crimes com
mittcd.
Mr.. Hagar says that study Of the
records at the prisons is very interest
ing. showing that a majority of those
who commit crime are extremely ig.
norant and unlettered.

Washington. May 2S.-For the pur-
pose VI enlisting the sympathies Of
Presiaent Roosevelt in a larger export
mark Tor merican meats, F.. J. Hag-
enbarth Of Denver. president of the
Natiohal Live Stock Association, called
1T tn White House yesterday. So
great was the Presidents interest that
he has Promised to deal with the SUBJ
Ject IN his next annual message to
Congrcss and will take up other mat
tiers OF i!tal importance to live stock
men.
NotHIng can compensate for the
loss OF a market. except to get that
market lack" said Mr.. Hagenbarth to
the Pres sident. I'VE have lost more
than Slo@ 100000 annually for the last
three or four years in export market
for meats alone through commercial
misuLde.sta landings that have resulted
in talih TetaliatiOn against meat from
this country. Germany's dscrimina-
tion has been the most severe. al
though lie loss of the Frencn market
has cost i've stock interests SAC, ,000,-
900 annually.
The resident encouraged Mr.. Hag-
enbarth 10 continue his explanation.
and then asked him what he proposed
as a solution.
RECIPROCITY preferably, and II we
can't get nat. retaliation" replied Mr..
Hagenbar'h. The President agreed as
to the remedy. although he thought
that reciprocity and retaliation could
both be adopted by the United States
"a reciprocal arrangement with coun-
tries thai we're disposed to be friendly
commeFcjally. and saving the retalia-
tory methods for countries that were
tnclined TO treat the United States
with unlajrness. He agreed with Mr..
Hagenbarth that the subject was one
that should go before Congress and
the people. and asked the president of
the live stock association to present a
brief that would inform him of the
association's position. Mr.. Hagen
barth promised to put the brief In the
Presidents hands by July lst.

Chicago Strike Continues.

Chicago, May 2S.-Nothing devei-
oped to-day that would indicate an i'm
mediate settlement of the teamsters'
strike, which has been in progress
nearly two months. That the labor un-
ions %re of the belief that the fight
will ng one was demonstrated
at tn ng of the Chicago Fedora
tion II to-day when arrange
ments s,ere made for holding a strike
demonstration on July 4.
According to the present plans it is
the intention to hold monster parade
etsthe ,y,tkers and the affiliated unions
unless the controversy has been ended
before that date. At the meeting to-
day each union affiliated with the cen
tral body was represented by three
delegates at the request Of President
Dod.
The strike situation was discussed
in all its details and the sentiment of
the meeting was that the teamsters
should continue the fight until the
seven express companies should offer
some sort of compromise. The Off
Cials Of the express companies are still
OhdUrate in their declaration that no
concessions need be looked for from
their side, so the matter of settlement
through this channel seems as remote
as over.
With over 1000 policemen and depu-
ties Of the sheriff detailed on strike
Luty the employers declare that dur
ing the present week they will be able
to demonstrate to the strikers that any
further continuation Of the fight will
be suicidal to the teamsters' union.
