LITTLE INTEREST
 IN CITY ELECTION
MAYOR AND NINE ALDERMEN WILL BE ELECTED ON FIRST MONDAY IN MAY-BALLOTlNG WILL BE LIGHT.

The indications are there will be but few votes cast in the general municipal election to be held in Birmingham early ir May At that time a Mayor, nine members of the City Council. a judge of the police court, and three police commissioners are to be chosen. The reg ular nominees of the democratic party will all be elected without opposition, and for this reason but little interest will be taken in the election.
 The time for the general municipal election is fixed by he city charter for the first Monday in May. The Mayor to be, George B. Ward, and the nine mem bers of the City Council. will assume of flee at the regular semi-monthly meeting of the municipal board whicn is held on the first Wednesday night in May. The new police commissioners and the judge of the police court qualify for office as soon as possible after the election.
 At one time 1t was rumored in local political circles that the nominee for alderman from a certain ward in the city would have opposition. but this does not seem probable now. If an in- dependent should announce as a candi- date the city democratic executive com mittee will be called together and an active campaign for the regular nomi- nee will be wagel by q special committee appointed from the city committee.
 The city charter provides that on the first Monday in April before the general election, registration books must be op- ened in all of the nine wards of the city and remain open until the following Mon day night. Registrars must be appointed to issue certificates to qualified electors
 At the first meeting of the City Coun- ell in April managers, clerks and re- turning officers for the nine wards in the city will be elected. They are paid out of the general fund of the city, the expense being charged to elections.
 The city clerk is required by law to arrange for the printing of the nec- essary election ballots and other sta- tionery. and must arrange voting places He and the Mayor are, in fact, in charge of the general election.

PAYING COMPANY
 READY FOR WORK
NASHVILLE ROOFING AND PAVING co. WILL START ON CONTRACTS MONDAY-Hl-zHLA AVENUE SOON TO BE IMPROVED.

The Nashville Roofing & Paving com pany will start to work Monday morning on its large contracts for laying bitumin- ous maeadam along certain streets and avenues. Work will be started on the corner of Fourth avenue and Twentieth street, and at first the vitrified brick will be laid along the sides of the street railway tracks for eighteen inches. The contract makes this requirement. Twen- tieth street is to be paved from Fourth to Park avenues.
 Within a short while work will com mence along Fifth and Highland avenues and along Nineteenth streets, and the improvements will be completed in sev- eral months time. Highland avenue Is to be paved from the Woodward prop erty to the eastern limits of the city with bituminous macadam
 It is expected that the United States Wood Preserving company, which has the contract for paving Highland avenue from the east curb line of Twentieth street to the eastern limits of the city, will start to work within a few weeks time.
 The Crockett Paving company will shortly start to work on its contract for paving Eighteenth street from Avenue A to Fourth avenue, and Morris avenue from Eighteenth to Nineteenth and Twenty-second to Twenty streets with vitrifed pavements.
 On account of the bad weather con- tractors have held back up to this time on executing their contracts for public improvements to a great extent.

REPORTS OF FORTUNES
 MADE IN WALL STREET
1t Is Said Birmingham Men Realized Large Sums on the Advance In
 Stocks-Iarous News.

Local mathematicians are busily figur- contingent now in New York has really touched Wall street for on big corpora ton stocks during the past few days The estimates range from fifty thousand to three quarters of a million of dollars.
 The first five men one meets have re- eeived straight tips that the total amount of ready cash taken in by Birmingham plungers has amounted to half million dollars up to date. The next five will tell you that one man alone-one who is we'll known as a coal operator and pub lie man-had alone realized that much up to Thursday afternoon when the mar kets closed. Others declare that no one in New York registered from Brming ham had nerve enough to play the boards, and that the report was hoax.
 Mayor Drennen admitted yesterday af- ternoon that he was not in a position 10 give any definite information He had heard that the amount would range any where from a half to one million dollars from one source, and from another that nothing had been pulled down. He said that if two prominent members of the City Council returned to Birmingham from New York by Wednesday night the matter could be brought before the att tention of the City Council.
 Mayor-elect Ward had also heard some- thing about the big fortunes. He had been in the stock and bond business in Birmingham for several years past, but with all his experience he would not dare to attempt to figure the exact earnings If there has been any, in face of the meagre and conflicting h,uletins.

JACKSON SAYS HE'S NOT IN MERGER DEAL MaryIand's Former Governor
 Expresses His Views CONSOLIDATION MIGHT HELP  More Money Is Needed to Develop the Resources 0. Alabama-eovernor
 Jackson Here on Per
 sonal Business.
CONSOLIDATION MIGHT HELP

E. E. Jackson, former governor of Maryland and head of the lumber firm of D. E. Jackson & Co., that operates a large lumber plant near Selma, ar rived in Birmingham yesterday on per- sonal business. In talking last night at the Hillman, Governor Jackson emphat- ically denied the reports that he is in any way associated with the movement to consolidate the Alabama coal and iron industries.
 No Truth In 1t.
 There is no truth whatever in the printed reports that l am interested either one way or the other in the merger negotiations going on in New York. I merely happened to be in New York when the conferences there began. My visit there had nothing whatever to do with the merger l did not talk with or see any of the gentlemen whose names figure in the newspaper reports.
 Merger Is Good Thing.
 q am inclined to think, however" ]" continued Governor Jackson, that the Birmingham district would be helped by the merger if the consolidation should be made along conservative lines. The peril in such movements is over-capital- ization.
 "Alabama's industries need more money for their proper development. Nature has done all that might be expected. What Is needed is more money to bring the mineral wealth to the surface, and manufacture the raw material into the finished product. Well-informed persons understand that the real development of this district has only just begun.
 $1oo,coo,oos Capital
 'I understand that the proposed mer- ger, including the Tennessee company s property, will be on the basis of $lO0.- 0OO,0G0 capitalization. This will provide a fund of $300O0,000 for purposes of develop ment. If this amount of money is in- vested in better machinery. larger mine development and in steel plants it will be of great advantage to the state.'

This would enable the committee to bring permanent relief to every family which suffered in the explosion.
 The plan has met with much enthu- siasm from both miners and operators, and it is believed that practically all will agree to this arrangement.
 Several of the largest operators in the district have stated that they would gladly donate their profits of one day to the cause of suffering humanity, and officers of the Uniteu Mine workers of this district have stated that they felt confident that not a single miner would refuse.
 Everyone seems to feel that this is a time when differences should be laid aside and that all should unite in the common cause. The two committees will go to work at once and it is expected that they will be ready to report within a few days.
 Capt. John B. Hanby, superintendent of the Sloss- Sheffield mines near Besse- Der, announced last night that everyone of the miners in that mine would give his wages today to the relief fund. This Is the first move along Mr. Musgroves 8 plan,

SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR DESTITUTE
 FAMILIES AMOUNT TO $I9, ,OOO
WILL PROBABLY ADOPT
 PLAN OF |. B. MUSGROVE

The proposition of =. B. Musgrove to aid the destitute families oI the miners killed in last Mondays explosion was considered at a meeting of the relief committee of the Commercial club and others. held in the club rooms yester- day morning.
 Mr. Musgrove was appointed chairman of a committee to put the plan before the operators of the district, and W. R. Fairley was appointed chairman of committee to put the proposition before the miners.
 The plan of MT. Musgrove is for every miner in the district to give one days work free to the sufferers fund and for every operator to give the profits of one day to the fund. In this way it is believed that s4O,OOO or s5O,OOO can be raised. The burden, it is pointed out, will not fall heavy on any individual.
 If the operators and miners agree to this, day will be set apart for the work and the proceeds will be placed in the hands of the relief committee.

ELECTRICIAN WITH
 POLICE AUTHORITY
Southeastern Tariff Association
 Communicates With Mayor
CHIEF ELECTRICIAN WRITES
Advantages of Having the Local Elee- triclan Invested With Police Pow CTS Pointed out-Phase of ln-
 surance Matters Discussed.

The Southeastern Tariff association wants the city council to have an elec- trieian in Birmingham qualify as a city official with police powers. The associa- tion also asks the city council to remove the license of s100 per annum on elec- trical inspectors for insurance companies
 Mayor Drennen received adviees yester- day to this effect from the association, and he has referred the communications 10 the proper authorities. This matter will probably be considered at the regu- lar semi-monthly meeting of the city council. which will be held Wednesday night.
 The following is a copy of the letter received by Mayor Drennen yesterday morning from A. NJ. shoen, chief elec- trieian of the association, who has head quarters in Atlanta with reference to police powers for the electrician:
 You will recall that some three years ago there was an ordinance adopted by the city council at Birmingham, copy of which 1 hand you enclosed, by which the electrician permanently located at Birmingham by the Underwriters was also made city electrician. Although the
 
 that date by our inspector he has never been confirmed as city electrician, and has therefore been able to secure cor reetion of defective electrical conditions only through the penalty of advanced rates.
 "As you are doubtless aware, 1t Is fre- quently impossible to reach parties by the advance in rates, as at times no insur- anee Is carried on properties In the city, and in these cases the defective condi- tions resulting in the advance cause oecu- pants of neighboring and exposing build ings to pay higher rates on account of the additional hazard introduced, where as they are entirely innocent of the cause of the advance In such cases the neces- sary improvements could be obtained if the inspector were vested with police powers, which are always given to city electricians, and the object of this letter is to ask whether you will not arrange to have the powers referred to given the inspector who is at present doing this work namely, MT. J. T. Robertson, Jr who has had cahrge of the work In Bir- who has had charge of the work in Bir- and has proven himself thoroughly com potent to take care of these inspections
 You will understand of course that the electrician being given power from the city to carry on this work, the city would also be at liberty to utilize his services when they should need them, in eonnec- ton with any adyiees or information re- quired in the citys service, without any expense to the city on that account

IRON MARKET IS
 STEADY AND FIRM
CONDITIONS ARE SATISFACTORY
 IN THE MAlN-GENERAL BUS:. NESS WITH LARGE INTEREST
 OVER COUNTRY IS EXCELLENT.

Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati re- port of yesterdays date says:
 February, almost over, appears to have maintained the record of production and consumption in January. The market is steady and conditions are in the main, satisfactory Good sized purchases were | made in this territory by two of the larg- est consumers. General buying continues and an improvement in inquiries and sales IS noted in the northwest. Locally, the market Is quiet. A study of condition is interesting. During January, production went on at the rate of about twenty-one million tons per year and consumption exceeded this by a comfortable amount It is conceded that the present available blast furnace capacity under the most advantageous conditions would hardly produce over twenty three million tons per year, and even then only for a short period, on account of natural wear and tear. Production may increase but the furnace capacity now out of blast is in such physical and financial state as to help little in the general result. The main point of the situation is the consumer and his prospects We have remarked heretofore on the apathy manifested by the general foundry trade and the tardy feeling Of improvement coming to that branch of the business. There can be , no great increase in consumption without very perceptable shortage of iron On the top of the closing of recent large deals, comes marked improvement in the business of the medium and small users of pig iron.
 General business with the larger inter- ests all over the country Is excellent. The steel corporation, with over 90 per cent of it's furnace capacity in operation. is buyer. A large southern steel con cern is reported refusing any more busi- ness before 1906, and contemplating in- creased capacity at their plant. Again comes the rumor of consolidation from out of the south; this time, with more than the usual amount of evidence. In spite of the fact that production in the Birm- ingham district is doing nicely, recent sales and deliveries have put the furnaces behind on the latter. Figuring on third quarter and second half year business is being induged In, but is receiving small encouragement by the furnaces Recent moderating weather has had little effect on the coke situation. Ovens still have trouble with satisfactory manufacture and transportation Prices are strong
