ion, is one of the largest little towns in the country. I do not think there is a spot on earth that has more natural re- sources than you will find here, and this city in the next ten years is going to be just what it's people make it. We could not ask for greater natural resources than we have. Now, MT. Jemison has told you something of the growth of Birmingham. The growth of city or community is very much like that of an individual. You all know how difficult 1t Is to accumu- late the first few thousand dollars, and how slowly 1t Is done. We have been de- veloping this district for but short time, and in the first few years the progress was very slow because we did not have confidence and courage. But today we arc developing more In one year than we did ten years ago in ten.
 we have passed through the age of iron, and are just entering the age of steel, and, gentlemen, I do not believe there is a steel man or an, iron man in the United States today who can form any conception of the demand of the world for iron and steel, and l agree with Mir Jemison that the next ten years of the new era of steel just opening before us will show ten times the development in Birmingham that the last ten years has shown
 H. c. Barlow, a prominent member of the visiting delegation, was the next speaker He thanked the local business men for their kindness during the stay of the westerners in Birmingham, and continuing said:
 This delegation comes south to famil- iarze itself with the conditions in the various localities we have visited. We want to carry home the personal impress sion of just what we see and of the men we meet, and trade conditions which we find. And, while all the territory we have traversed throbs with industry and a commercial progress which bids fair for glorious future. one of the charms of our visit is to come in personal contract with the men who are building up this new empire of the south"
 Silas H. Jenkins, another of the visitors was the next to respond. His talk was short but to the point, and repeated the opinion which he had previously eS- pressed about this city and its busi- ness people.
 Simon Klotz delivered a brief address in which he described the wonderful pro- gress in the banking business of Birming- ham. He told of how the streets had been improved until the town could boast of having the best in the south. He also out lined the many Improvements contem- plated and said that in the next ten years Birmingham would have everything desired. Ills talk was greeted with rounds of applause. MT. Motion informed the party that 1t would be impossible for any more addresses of any great length as the time of departure was very near at hand, but before adjourning two more of the visitors were called upon to conclude the speech making. The first of these was Benjamin Carpenter, who said:
 Gentlemen of Birmingham, you have heard a wonderful theme this morning. which Is all very beautiful. During our trip over the other portion of the south

STOOD UP ID THE
 RACK LIKE A MAN Captain w. 2. Wards Notable Tribute to Captain OBrien FORMER SHERlFF'S RECORD Refused to Take Bankrupt Aot-Paid Every Dollar He owed-knocked
 Out Professional Jurors.
 Square Deal for All.
FORMER sHERlFF'S RECORD

Cant w. c. Ward of the law firm Of Ward & Houghton, had this to say yes terday of Capt. Frank P. OBrien. and his administration of the office of sherin for four years after his election in lSsS;
 Our firm acted as attorneys for Cap tain O'Brien during three years of his term He was sued for about SoO.O0o dur ing that time. mostly by persons who claimed that he had wrongfully arrested them on criminal charges
 My recollections Is that the damages recovered were less than s1oO in all the cases and the recovery of that small amount arose from the negligence of deputies.
 When he first went into office Captain O'Brien was sued on some security debts, Finding he owed about $30,00o of security debts, we, as his counsel advised him, as he was no longer young, to take the ben eft of the bankrupt law. and then. as he got able, to pay off the debts. This he positively refused to do He stood up to the rack like man. and now can show clear receipt for everything he owed.
 Tn the riot at Brooksde, when some 900 enraged negroes well armed. were try ing to overawe the 400 whites in the place. Captain O'Brien went in person with his deputies restored order, and es- tablished the supremacy of the law in a very short time by prompt and efficient action.
 Captain O'Brien had notices printed in large letters and posted in the court house that his deputies were instructed not to summon any man as talesman on the jury who requested wanted to be put on juries, and thus cut off the de- tested professional juror, and so far as he could, prevented disgraceful verdicts, such as make good citizens ashamed.
 Tn all our acquaintance with his ad- ministration of the office of sheriff. we never heard of single instance of abuse of his official position, for the oppression of any person. All were treated alike Every citizen of Jefferson county was given square deal. He sought to know his duties as the conservator of public peace. and courageously performed them. In no single instance could it be charged that he had shut his eyes so as not to see violations of the law

Hegeman further said that in eight
years his company had voluntarily
given to the policyholders $4,000, 900.
This was in extended insurance, mort
uary dividends and liberalized policies
during epidemics, floods and fires.
It was brought out that while the
company carried collateral loans
throughout the year, none appeared in
the annual report on Dec. 81 This
was explained by the witness, who said
that all collateral loans were trans
ferred on the last day of the year to
Vermilye & Co., the brokers, under an
agreement and were bought back
again IN January. This was done to

Did Not Encourage Gail Loans.
Mr.. Hegeman did not encourage the
call loan business from this section be-
cause it entailed keeping ticker in his
office. and he would not have one
there. He further did not care to have
his company known as a loaning COM
pany.
The large loans at such a rate of in
ferest as IL per cent, especially the
one to President John A. Mccall of the
New York Life, were taken up and Mr.
Hegeman spoke strongly of his friend
ship for Mr.. Mccall, who had rendered
him valuable service that was of
benefit to the company and personally
he thought the company could afford
and would have been justified in pay
ing Mr.. Mccall the few hundreds Of
dollars the loans amounted to. The
same was true, he said of SilaS p.
butcher, a director of the company,
who also carried large loans with the
company at low interest.

after the gong sounded for the sixth
round the fight was over and Croake
had been counted out,
At no time during the contest did
Croake land an effective punch, and
Reilly played a tattoo on Eddie'S head
and stomach. While CrOake is a past
master in the art Of blocking he
seemed to lack both speed and judge
ment Of distance, and all his swings
crashed into the atmosphere:
Here is the fight by rounds:
Round /. Both spar for an opening
and come together with short eX-
changes. They fight free and clean,
but were cautious to the extent that
no damage was done.
Round ,. Reilly PUSHES Eddie to
the ropes and whips in Il couple of
stiff punches to the head and body.
CrOake blocks hard one and swings
but Tommy gets away. At the sound
Of the gong Eddie lands Il hard short
punch to Reilly's ribs.
Round 3. Reilly starts in with
straight right and left punches to
Cr0ake's head and ducks terrific
right swing. Tommy lands on Eddie's
head and body and received Il vicious
upper cut Oh the jaw which Jared
him somewhat. Reilly seemed to land
at will for the balance Of the round
with Croake blocking.
Round 4. This was all ReilIy's
round. Only once did Cr0ak land,
while the Seattle lad showed speed
that left no doubt as to the outcome
Of the contest.
Round 5. Reilly starts in to finish
his man and Croakc fights back in
something Of his Old-time form. Fast
