 Rescue of Pipeman Curtis.
 Despite the intense heat at this point there was a rush of rescuers to the scene. The pipeman was borne to the veranda of the old school house, where he received surgical attention. He was removed thence to 10S Mildred Street, where his injuries were attended by two surgeons.
 The fall shocked the fireman con siderably, but he sustained no internal injuries. His right foot was broken, his left one sprained, and he was bruis- ed about the head.
 Later in the day, Pipeman Curtis. who is unmarried was removed to his room at the Five Points engine house. Af- ter nightfall he was sent to St. Mar garet's Hospital. where he was resting easily last night It was said that his limbs were in such condition that hJ might not be able to use them for two months.
 The firemen were handicapped to q great extent in their work by the crowd. Occupants of houses in the neighborhood frequently reported that their homes were afire, when a closer investigation showed that the smoke arising from the houses was merely caused by the evaporation of the water thrown on them as d preventive, and turned into steam by the heat of the adjacent flames.
 Other Homes Threatened.
 The residence of Miss Coghill, north of the burning house. caught fire at least half a dozen times. but quick work by the firemen saved the house. Several of the rooms were damaged. however, by water.
 The roof of the two story frame resi- dence of Sig Simon. directly across the street from the fire. caught several times and was extinguished.
 Lawn hose and buckets were used on every house in the vicinity of the fire. but the temperature was so high that the water was cvaporated as soon as 1t struck the buildings.
 At 3 o'clock the four houses, two story frame structures. had been prac- tically razed. and the water striking the hot chimneys caused two of them in the Booth residence to fall When the bricks struck the ground. wild ru- mors were prevalent that number of fremen and citizens were crushed by the debris. These rumors were with out foundation,
 Tbe loss on the Coghill house did not exceed $200.
 The home of Dr. Hogan was total loss. He had $6.900 insurance on his house and furniture. but 1t Is not ex- pected that this will cover the loss. One thousand insurance was carried on tbe furniture of William C. Ray. who had apartments in the home of Dr. Hogan.
 Mir. Edson had $6,5O0 insurance on his house and furniture and both house and furniture were complete losses.
 Mrs. Booth carried $2,500 insurance on her house and furniture. but this amount will not come within $2.0O0 of covering the loss.

Committee of Business Men Moving to
 Secure It.
 The Committee on Forestry and Lum- Der of the Commercial and Industrial Association held an important meeting yesterday afternoon at 5:S0 o'clock.
 The committee has been quietly at work for some months securing infor- nation and data In reference to legis- lation existing in various States for the preservation of forests. It is widely known that although Alabama Is the fifth State in the Union in the output of long leaf yellow pine lumber, no intelligent legislation exists looking to it's protection and future preserva- tlon.
 Many States in the Union have awak- ened too late to the importance of for estry legislation and the committee Is determined that Alabama shall not fol- low their example In this respect.
 At the meeting yesterday there were present F. P. Flowers. Chairman: {: Brooks Flowers, Robert Nixon. W. T.. Shepard and T. l.. Jones.
 A mass of correspondence and papers was submitted in relation to the mat ter, particularly the address of the president of the Raul Lumber Company of Alabama before the National For estry Congress recently at Washington upon fne supJeCl. CdH lhtelilBeht FoT- estry Be Practiced With Long Leaf Yellow Pine?"
 The committee decided to request Overton w. Price, Acting Forester of the United States Bureau Of Forestry to send q repres entative of the depart mcnt to Alabama some time in the next few months to- stir up greater interest in the passage of protective forestry laws in Alabama. The com mittee has received assurances of monied cooperation by the Bureau of Forestry in the careful forestry study of Alabama to the extent of $2,50O If the State of Alabama will appropriate like sum of money.

 Rather Great Central Ones.

by J U. MdQUy.
 AS a railroad manager, familiar with nearly all the managers and ex- eceutives of the country, I say. with out fear of contradiction, that the aim and desire of them all Is to encour- age and aid in the establishment of industrial plants and business con- cerns. large and small. on their lines of railways"
 This statement was made by Joseph Ramsey, Jr., president of the Wabash Railroad, in a paper read before the Commercial Club of St. Louis. Con- tinuing. he said:
 Their roads interests are better served by numerous independent plants than by a large branch plant of some trust, which can be closed down and all its traffic stopped when the trust feels that its own interests are best served by so doing. A railroad Is at the mercy of such concern when the bulk of its traffic comes from 1t. railroad is directly concerned in the building up of its own territory and communities and must, when rates are reduced by some line to help out another section, meet such rates or not only lose traffic temporarily. but see it's own territory and patrons suffer

 New York, March 30.-Stewart A Felton. known to the sporting fraterni- ty as Big Frank" who has been in the Tombs prison several months charged with murder in the first de- gree in having killed Guy Roche, a gambler, was released on $25,000 bail today.
 The shooting of Roche occurred in the Broadway theatre district when 1t was crowded with thousands of per sons going home from the play house. It is said to have resulted from quar- rel over a woman. The man who fired the shot disappeared, but the police arrested FeIton a few hours later and when they took him before Roche. who was dying in hospital. the latter identified him as his assailant, The scene in the hospital when the iden- tification was made was a dramatic one. You shot me Frank, but I don't blame you said Roche. "I would

 In fixing bail today, Justice Kene- fick wrote:
 After careful review of the evil dence and affidavits furnished I am of the opinion that a conviction of the defendant of either degree of murder is improbable and his conviction of any offense whatever is doubtfuI.'

 Clothes-made Tn the City of Philadelphia. Kirsch (chery). baum (tree)-At the Sign of the Cherry Tree.
 kirschbaum Clothes are made by well-paid tailors, in clean, light, sanitary shops State and National officials say the finest tailor-shops in the United States. The clothes are carefully made. They have style in them and fit and good looks.
 One thing about Kirschbaum Clothes, their style is not a matter of geography. They are right in London or New York or San Francisco.
 Over a million dollars worth are worn in New York and Phila- delphia every year, half million in Boston and Washington. They are represented in every great College in America. They are sold by good stores in three thou sand other cities and towns.
 There are two things that go long way in Philadelphia. In fact two things one Is rather expected to possess-a grandfather and a well-cut coat. We can't supply you with the one, but we are ready with the other.
 We expect to talk often to you about Kirschbaum Clothes. We shall keep after you until you try them. That's all we. ask you to do. We ask 1t because we know the opinion of those who do try them and we know the clothes. It will pay you to know them.
 Better clothes are worth while. They are worth remembering the name and finding the store that sells them.
