chattanooga Kid" the alias employed by Will Jacobs, a notorious police char acter of Birmingham, was shot to death yesterday in Montgomery by Oscar liar ris, another negro criminal who Is well known here.
 The dead man and his slayer, coinci- dentally, are both wanted in Birmingham on charges of burglary. The two negroes formerly worked" together in this city, and the news at headquarters last night to the effect that the one had shot the other was received with surprise.

The next news heard of them was the affair in Mont gomery yesterday in which Harris shot and killed his former pal.

The vehicle Is Busy Izzy's Vacation" a melange of music and comedy that has been a pronounced sue cess wherever presented. Sidney Is one of the most amusing stage Hebrews imag- inable.

His characterization is funny without being offensive. ard he does not depend on his dialect for provoking mer- riment. His mannerisms more than any thing else are responsible for his success. Carrie Webber is a stunning soubrette, and 1t is said that the girls Tor this year are unusually good looking. Hand some costumes and appropriate stage set tinss, with ensemble effects and stage maneuvers by the chorus will be features of the performance.

INSURANCE GO. MAY
 WIND UP BUSINESS
ATLANTA-Bl BIRMINGHAM CONCERN SETTLES THE SAN FRANCISCO CLAIMS, AND WILL REINsURE TO PROTECT POLIcYHoLDERs.
The Atlanta Constitution says:

The Atlanta Constitution says
 As result of the conference last week between the officers and directors of the Atlanta Birmingham Fire Insurance com pany of Atlanta and the representatives of the poicyholders of the company at San Francisco, which have claims against the company it is probable that the af- fairs of the company, as well as those of the Prudential Fire, which reinsured it few months ago, will be wound up with in a short time. The visitors from the coast verified the statements of the com pany as to It's ability to pay in the neigh borhood of 40 cents on the dollar as a compromise of the claims against 1t.
 The company has never admitted liabil- ity under it's policies in San Francisco on account of the unusual nature of the cause of the conhagration, and the fallen building clause contained in all its poli- cies, but in order to avoid long and cost ly suits the compromise method of set clement has been decided upon. The out standing business of both companies will be taken care of fully by reinsurance arrangement which is now under way with the California Fire, and the process will carry with 1t the full acquescence of the San Francisco interests.
 The California Fire is a claimant against the Atlanta Birmingham for about $32,000 under reinsurance contracts. The western claimants are opposed to re- ceivership proceedings and cite the case of the Traders Fire as an example of delays in settlement and unsatisfactory conditions. The arrangements. 1t Is un- derstood, await only the approval of the directors of the California Fire for com pletion.
 It is also reported that Maj. J. T. Dar- gan. president of the Atlanta -Birming- ham, will represent the California Fire as southern general agent. Major Dar- gan has. however, refused to confirm this statement at present. Such a course would preserve the present agency plant of the Atlanta companies for the California Fire and is itself not an inconsiderable asset.

erly classed, housed and insured cotton. With the rapidly increasing deposits Of savings banks in the south there promises to be sufficient funds to finance the crop, when 1t is taken Into consideration that cotton warrants on the lines herein laid out will be good collateral for spinner to use anywhere in the world if he should wish to avail himself of the storage room of the warrant warehouse until such time as he chose to deliver the warrants to some transportation company to haul his raw material. It is well to emphasize here the strong features of the storage room for such bulky material, and the widening field of opportunity for finan- cial aid in course of business by opening the banks of the world to both spinner and per SC the grower
 This question has more to do with the matter of a fair price than any other one bearing on the subject with the cotton gambler curbed. When it is understood that here in the south we begin in Au- gust to rush to market in a few months a crop whose raw-state products bring near one billion dollars, it can be readily seen how important the financial part is.
 The proposition to raise one hundred millions capital to finance the undertak- ing of warrant warehouses is perfectly feasible.
 The fear of the power of trust secur- ing control is passing, in view of recent developments; then there are too many contingencies to prevent cornering the warrants. When the price is equitable and fair the spnners will have the war rants. If not fair the farmers and mer chants can hold them as they are coming to the habit of doing, as note now the widening difference between the black board crop and the real stuff in the hands of those able to hold it. This last class is increasing each year in the south, thangs to the Cotton Growers associa- | tion
