PER ELECTRICAL WIRE WHICH

New Decatur. July 2O.-(Special) Judge
John C. Eyster has just returned from a
trip to New York city, and while there
he had a talk with Henry S. Trimmings,
president of the Decatur Light, Power and
Fuel company. concerning Decatur. Judge
Eyster says that Mr.. Flemmings stated
to him that he was largely interested in
the patent and manufacture of copper
wire which is covered with asbestas. This
wire is used extensively in electrical ap-
planes. Mr.. Flemmings stated to Judge
Eyster that his company now had only
two distributing points In the United
States for this wire and that these dis
tributing points were located in the east.
He stated further that his company was
going to make New Decatur a distributing
point for this wire. Judge Eyster says he
asked Mr.. Flemmings why he did not
build factory in New Decatur for the
manufacture of the wire Mr. Flemmings
said that he would doubtless do so later
on but that now he would establish only
distributing station for the wire here
Much of this wire is manufactured and
sold by this company and the establish
ment of a factory here for its manufac-
ture would mean much for New Decatur

cll-Glve Reason.

Ensley, July 2-(SpeciaD--"I believe that
can say with extreme conservatism that
at least $4,000 worth of real estate has
changed hands in Ensley within the past
ten days" said J. NJ Perkins. one of the
leading real estate dealers of this city,
today
There is nothing wild or unsubstantial
about this activity. but 1t is the natural
easy result of the great permanent i'm
provements that are being made In the
local manufacturing plants. These I'M
provements are actual and substantial
and call for a growth in this city that is
even beyond the comprehension of the
most optimistic. Prices are not feverish or
exorbitant considering the conditions that
now exist and the permanent prosperity
that must follow.
''Al of 100000 of the money spent In the
last ten days in real estate in Ensley has
been outside capital coming in for in
vestment. Much of the property that has
been and is being bought will be improved
with handsome homes and valuable bust
ness houses. The present activity In real
estate is not speculative, but is for per-
manent Improvement.
Declines Franchise.
The Birmingham Railway. Light and
Power company has declined to accept
the franchise granted by the City Council
last night for the laying of gas mains in
the city. Some weeks ago the council
granted the franchise with several amend
ments of the oroginal petition. The com
pany agreed to all the amendments but
wished TO add the words ITO any reason
able extent" to a clause giving the city
the right TO regulate In every way the
reading of meters
Officials of the company say that the
clause itself is unusual and could be used
in the most arbitrary manner. They say
that the line to Ensley was projected upon
the request of Ensley people and that they
cannot afford to come into the city with
any unusual conditions attached to the
business.
The line is now being built and has
been completed to Rising station on the
South Ensley car line. 1t is understood
that the line will be completed to Fair
view and stopped there until satisfac-
tory arrangements are made with Ems
ley officials

MEDICAL OFFICES"
 CANNOT GET MAIL
POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT BE- LlEVES HUNDREDS OF DEATHS
 HAVE BEEN CAUSED DURING
 OPERATION OF THESE PLACES.

Washington, March 25.-Orders have been issued by the postmaster general in- structing the postmasters at New York and Brooklyn to refuse to admit to the mails the advertisements of tifty-two H. legal Medical offices' located in those cities, and also to refuse to deliver mail matter received addressed to the fictitious and assumed names under which parties conducting these concerns hide their iden- tity.
 For some time past the department has had inspectors working in New York gathering the necessary evidence to close the mails in these cases, and the of fieials of the department today expressed tfie belief that practically all of the criminal concerns of this character In these cities have been covered. This ac- tien at New York and Brooklyn is in line with the efforts previouslg-. made. by Postmaster General Cortelyou in Boston and Philadelphia to enforce the law against this class of criminal concerns
 In Boston last March thirty of these concerns were barred from the mails and the governments crusade in Philadelphia last September resulted in closing thir- teen establishments charged with being illegal medical offices" thus practically closing all such concerns there. A state ment given out at the postoffce depart mAnt today says;
 t'The conditions of affairs which has de- velpped under the departments investiga- tion In all of these cities has been ap- palling. It was found that in a large number of instances those engaged in conducting these offices have criminal records and dope hends.'
 .In Boston one of the concerns excluded by the department from the mails was supposed to have been the office at which WAS performed the fatal operation upon the eyoung woman Susan Geary-victm in the suit case murder, One of the doe tors whom the department found ident- fled with several other of these offices In Boston was also connected with Susan Geaiy case. The number of deaths that have been caused in these offices can never be known.
 s'rhe volume of business done by these concerns was large. It was said that as high as twenty criminal operations a day were performed in some of these of fees and that the income sometimes ranged as high as 5000 a week"

Washington March 25.-The Washing ton meeting of the American Tract so- eiety was held to night in the Luther Place Memorial church. Justice Brewer of the supreme court of the United States, honorary vice president. presided; Gen. o, O. Howard, president of the society delivered the address and the Rev. Jud son Swift field secretary at New York, made report. General Howard dwelt upon the great and good work" accom- plished by the tract society, and told of what had been done for the army in the way of a generous distribution of tracts, booklets and volumes among the soldiers. He referred to those who at present are elamoring for the United States to give up the Philippines and said. We cannot do so rash thing until we have ac- complished for those islands what Provi- denee had intended us to do, namely, Christianize them"
 This was both the opinion and mission of our country and one of the most sue cessful agents in this work was Christian literature.
 Secretary Swift stated that the annual report showed 106 publications added to
 
 the soeietys list during the year. and the total number of languages and dia- lects in which the society had published was now 16S. He said the periodical cir culation for the year was 2.S5S,s0O copies, making the grand total of volumes for the periodicals and tracts since the or ganization of the society, 754, 946
 The secretary's report declared that the question of the hour was the immigrant problem. upwards of 1,100000 immigrants having arrived in the United States dur ing the year 1gU5
 The most telling and prominent work among the immigrants. the report said. is done by means, of the society's Chris tan literature in the language or dialects which they speak, distributed by it's col porteurs, who meet them at Ellis island and also visit them in their homes. The work in the island possessions, it
