ONE IS KILLED BY
 QUAKE IN MICHIGAN
FOUR OTHERS WERE INJURED IN MINE BY FALLING EARTH. DISHES RATTLE AND cHIMNEYS FALL, CAUSING TERROR.

Calumet. Mich. April 19.-An earth quake shock which was felt distinctly throughout Hancock and was most pro- nounced In the Quincy mine killed one man and injured four others while work ing one mile below the earth's surface in that property today.
 In numerous instances buildings rocked, chmneys fell and dishes rattled, terrify- ing the citizens and causing scores of men, women and children to rush from their honles.4
 Many miners on the day shift refused to go below again.
 The recent catastrophe at San Fran cisco has had a disauicting effect on many of the miners.
 Timothy Leary is the name of the man who met death today. He was working at the bottom of the Quincy mine when a large block of ground was shaken loose crushing him to a pulp and burying him under tons of earth Four others miners who were with him at the time were serl- ously injured. It is thought that all will live.
 Whether today's seismic disturbances were sympathetic shock caused by the earthquake in California Is unknown.

NOT LIABLE FOR
 DAMAGE BY QUAKE
INSURANCE COMPANIES, HOW EVER, WILL BE VERY LIBERAL IN THE ADJUSTMENT OF LOSSES AT SAN FRANCISCO.

New York April 19.-Offieers of the large fire insurance companies having their headquarters in this city announced today that losses by earthquake were not included in the fire insurance policies writ ten for California, and that such losses could not be allowed, even if the com panies were so inclined, for the reason that the laws of New York state pro hibited it. The rulings on the losses by fire. however, will 1t is said, be broad, the insurance companies apparently agreeing that to draw the lines with any severity whatsoever would be extremely unwlse in the face of such an appalling disaster, where the suffering will no doubt be widespread.
 W. c. Robb. secretary of the New York board of underwriters said that all the buildings which have been dynamited will have to be settled for bys the insurance companies. since the statute of Cali fornia, regardless of whether the state ment is included in the policy or not provides that the insurance companies are liable for the damage done by the dyna- mite

The committee which goes to New Or leans next week to secure the 1907 reunion of the Confederate Veterans for Birming- ham will be supplied with literature of all kinds setting forth the claims and ad- vantages of Birmingham.
 Beside the regular literature which the Commercial club keeps on hand, special pamphlet will be published this week and will be distributed by the hundreds in New Orleans at the reunion which will be held next week.
 On one leaf of the pamphlet will be a map showing Birmingham as a railroad center with nine railroads running into the city from various directions. On an other leaf the following will be printed:
 Why the next reunion of the United Confederate Veterans should be held in Birmingham Ala:
 Because Birmingham is the heart of Alabama, which Is the heart of the south.
 Because nine railroads make it access ible from all parts of the United States.
 Because it's capacity to accommodate with comfort the great crowds that will attend the reunion.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-04-20
COMMITTEE WILL HAVE
 SPECIAL LITERATURE

Because a fund has been guaranteed that assures royal entertainment for the veterans
 Because Birmingham is the industrial marvel of the world and it's great indus trial plants are unmatched In interest to the visitor.
 Because Birmingham has all the ad- vantages of amusement, entertainment, transportation and assembly hall capacity to take care of the reunion visitor.
 Because Birmingham yields to none in love and admiration for the matchless heroes of the Confederacy and will wei come them to the inner camp fires of her heart with 8 rousing cordiality.'
 Robert Jemison, Jr., secretary of the association formed recently at the meet ing in the Commercial club, has urged that the men appointed on the commit tee to go to New Orleans to help secure the reunion for next year, let him know if they can make the trip.
 The transportation committee is making arrangements for the members of the committee to go to New Orleans, and il is necessary that the exact number who can go be ascertaiped.
