A Modern Arcadia.

From Harpers Weekly.
 A traveller who recently visited the coast of Labrador says that nowhere on earth are life and property held so sacred as in that littleknown and barren land. A thousand miles of lonely seaboard, along which is scattered a population of some ten thousand people. about one-third of whom are white would seem to give every opportunity for crime. yet there is no police officer of any kind. no court. and no jail. Nor are they needed. The only criminal charge within fifty years was one against an Eskimo who shot rival in love
 In addition to the resident population. the coast is visited every summer by about ten housand Newfoundland fisher men. and while Newfoundland itself Is not by any means free from criminals, none appear to come among the fishers. or else the example of the natives of Labrador causes them to refrain from any wrony-doing while there. About forty years ago circuit court visited the coast every summer. but as 1t found noth- ing to do. 1t was abolished. Now should any serious charge be made against man. magistrate would be sent from Newfoundland to investigate 1t.

IT MAY HAVE BEEN
 BODY OF H. C, SMITH
CleWs Seem Close to Fixing Identity of Dead Man Found On Red
 Mountain.

A sample case was found by Police man Parker last night in the Metropol- itan hotel, which, it is thought, may throw light on the subject of the identity of the dead body found last Sunday on Red mountain.
 It will be remembered that the hat near the body, which, with the coat, shoes and collar of the dead man, are now in possession of Coroner Paris, bore the name of a Memphis firm. Yesterday it was discovered from dim ly discernable letters that the shoes had been sold by Kaufman Bros. of Columbus, Miss. and although that firm was asked by wire for informa- tion, none could be gathered.
 To see the hotels with regard for uncalled for baggage was the next step determined upon toward clearing the mystery that enshrouds the tden- tity of the dead man. Policeman Par ker recalled a sample case he had seen in the Metropolitan hotel. It was covered with dust and had evidently remained there a long time. The ne- gro porter confirming the supposition said it had been there about six months, he thought. It was examined. On the name plate was found H. c. Smith. Birmingham.
 From an order book inside, Smith proved to be travelling representa- tive of the Alabama Coffin and Casket company, of Chattanooga. The date of the last order was January 27, 1906. It showed a sale to V. O. Russell of bayette. It also showed sales in G. lumbus, Miss, and in Memphis, where the articles of clothing were bought just before that time. The laundry marks on the collar appeared to be H. O., but it Is said they may just as well be H. c. There Is strong opin- ion at police headquarters that the dead body may prove to be that of H. C. Smith.

The home of the de- ceased was at Avondale. He was a brother-in-law of John Caldwell pas senger conductor on the western end of the Southern.

BIRMINGHAM HOTELS AND
 ROOM CAPACITY STATED

rooms vacant on the average each night, which makes our reserve capacity as it should be- because with transcient guests you never know always when they will come.'
 A representative of the Metropolitan said:
 There are 135 rooms here. Two hum dred guests can be accommodated. We are well filled up practically all the time"
 MT. Burnett, proprietor of the new Ho- tel Florence, about to be opened, said:
 T can state that the Florence will. beyond a doubt. be opened on July 15
 ''I have done everything possible to accomplish this end There will be 125 rooms with accommodations for fully 165 guests. Of course on special occasions more than this can be comfortably pro- vided for
 '"rhe large room set apart for a ban quet hall can be called into requisition as can other available space'
 A representative of the St. Nicholas remarked:
 "We have 30 rooms. They are filled all the time. We can accommodate about 60 guests. With the Florence to be opened soon uOn | see that there IS need Tor any more hotels here We think all to- gether, We can handle any crowd that may come to Birmingham"
 Besides the hotels above mentioned there are half dozen ones, having in the aggregate about 100 rooms, most of which are usually occupied. And of restaurants and cafes in Birmingham of all kinds there are more than a few. They range all the way from the quick lunch counters to place slow enough to finger in all day, and the prices correspond to the time, as much as to the food consumed.
 More than year ago company was organized for the purpose of erecting 0 ten or twelve-story steel frame fire-proof hotel to be styled the Jefferson. at the corner of Twentieth street and Fourth avenue. The. 125X140, was paid for and it was stated from time to time that the work of construction would proceed A stockholder when asked yesterday regard ing the status of the Hotel Jefferson pros pect, said ..Nothing doing at this time. :" In view of Birmingham's steady growth and assured future it is generally be- heved in business circles that a sky scraper hotel would be a paying invest ment.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-07-01

The complaint is often heard that Bir- mingham hostelrys have insufficient ca pacity for the travelling public. Notwith- standing this the hotels in the aggregate can accommodate something like thou sand guests The actual number of rooms in the frst-class places is close to 800. The average number vacant each night is approximately 1O0 On a squeeze consid- erably more space than this is available. Inc eoneensus of opinion among the man. agers who were asked why there is not sufficient hotel accommodations in Bir- mingham Is to the effect that there IS plenty of room for all eomers And they cite the Methodist conference as shining example of their expansive storage pow CTS.
 They look upon the conference as crucial test. In fact they say if most of about 1900 Methodist ministers can be slowed away comfortably and led that there is no reason to shy at anything short of a Sherman's march to the sea.
 MT Clifford of the Morris said. We have 12O rooms which are comfortably filled up pretty well all the time. There may not be enough cheap rooms in the hotels of Birmingham, but l see no req son Wny complaint SUOulu pc Hldue oi ih- sufficient hotel aceommodations
 It was said at the Hillman: We have 165 rooms. We can accommodate 225 guests. This is about the way our business runs From May l to october l about half the rooms are vacant. From October to December 20 we are well filled up. but from that time to the 9th of January, over two-thirds of the rooms are vacant. During the spring the rooms are pretty well filled up. So you see in seven months the hotels here do practically all their business of the year"
 The manager of the Colonial said: We have 50 rooms and can accommodate 65 guests We think there is ample hotel ca- pacity in Birmingham Of course. at spe- eial times such as during the Methodist conference and the grand lodge of Odd Fellows things are crowded. but ordi- narily we never hear of anybody going begging for room."
 Said a representative of the Hotel Bir mlngham:
 We have 135 rooms and can take care of 1I5 guests ordinarily, more than that in emergencies. There are about twenty

BULLETS MISS MAN BUT HIT CHILDREN P@Z. Alexander Fires Pistol at
 Dick Long SHOOTING ON FIFTH AVE. Crowd Had Gathered at the Time at Fifth Avenue and Twenty-first
 Street to Look at Dying
 Horse-Two Were Shot.
SHOOTING ON FIFTH AVE.

While a crowd of men, women and that was prostrated, Dick Long of 517 North Twenty first street, in conversa- ton with Mrs. P. z. Alexander on Fifth avenue between Twenty-first and Twenty second street last night about S:30 o'clock was shot at four times by P. 2. Alexan- der, the husband of the woman to whom he was talking. None of the bullets hit Long 1t is said, but two little girls walk ing along the street were shot, one in the foot and the other in the leg just below the knee They are Lillian Powell, the 8-year-old daughter of F. T. Powell, 2117 Fifth avenue, and Margaret Jordan, , years of age, one of twin daughters of Mrs T. A. Jordan of Huntsville, who is visiting her parents, MT. and Mrs. E. s. Jordan of 2119 Fifth avenue. Men on the street at the time say the wonder is that in view of the large crowd assembled more stray bullets did not strike innocent persons.
 It seems from a number of accounts that Mrs. Alexander and two men were in the middle of Fifth avenue near the corner of Twenty-first street, when the shooting took place.
 Scene Described.
 One of the men was seen to run to the south side of Fifth avenue toward Twen- ty-first street. and the other to begin shooting, all the while the woman clutch ing the man with the pistol, and striking his arm with an umbrella in her efforts to defect his aim. Both men-pursued and pursung-disappeare around the corner, poinr n another direction.
 From statements made by persons on the front porch of Mrs. J. T. Nixon's home, 40 North Twenty-f1rst street, the man in front of the gun made head long dive into the alley just north Of the house. He fell and lay prone on the ground. When approached by several who had followed in his wake. he said he was shot. They helped him to his feet and started north, when 1t was seen that his propellers at last were in good working order. He could walk alone. His pursuer had ceased to pursue.
 Mrs. Alexanders Statement.
 When seen at her home Mrs Alexander said:
 "I was talking with Dick Long on Fifth avenue, east of Twenty-first street. We were near the crowd on the corner. saw my husband few yards away carry ing his hat over his breast, approaching us. MT Long ran and my husband be- gan shooting at him. I caught my hus- bands coat trying to hold him, and each time as he would shoot I struck the pistol with my umbrella. Both running they turned south into Twenty-first street"
 A short time later Alexander telephoned to the police an account of the shooting and said that he would give himself 1p today Alexander lives at No. 2201 Third avenue.
 Alexander was arrected at o'clock this morning by Police Officer Burge and was locked up in the city jail on the charge of assault with intent to murder.

 TILL LATE LAST NIGHT
(ce ntinued from First Paee)


 New York the floor leader of the ma 1ority, offered the custody resolution pre- ceding adjournment that the House with the concurrence of the Senate do adjourn at 10 o'clock on June 30, although when the resolution was adopted the House was stli in session under the legislative day of yesterday.
 Mr Payne then offered the customary resolution to appoint a committee to join a similar committee of the Senate to wait upon the President and inform him that Congress had completed It's labors, and was ready to adjourn.
 The resolution was adopted and the speaker appointed Mir. Payne of New York. MT. Burton and MT. Williams as members of the committee. Recess was then taken until o'clock.
 At 9:25 D. m. the speaker signed the omnibus public buildings bill and then the House tok a recess until 9:5o.
 When the House reassembled the com mlttee appointed to wait on the President and MT Payne addressing the House stated that they had performed the mis- sion entrusted to them, and that the President had no further message to com ,nunicate to Congress. Then speaker Cannon rose. and while silence fell upon the chamber that but little while be- fore had rung with song and story, he addressed the House as follows;
 Cannon Makes Speech.
 'The hour is at hand when under the terms of the concurrent resolution the first session of the Fifty-ninth Congress is 10 close. I desire to return my thanks to each and all of the membership of the House for the uniform courtesy ex- tended to myself as speaker.
 .Nt Is proper for me to say that in thirty years service in the House of Rep resentatives its membership has never been more able more industrious or more dcvnted to the performance of it's duties for the best interests of the country than during the session about to close The differencences at times have been sharp and decisive, but I take pleasure in say ing that at all times in our deliberations courtesy has abounded and that our diff ! ferences have been sincere from the in- dividual and from the party standpoint.
 .No sAsson of Congress has in my Judgment for thirty years accomplished so much that Is valuable in legislation, that is for the best interests of the peo- ple as has been enacted during the pres .nt session I believe that this will be the verdict of history.
 VI trust that during the vacation you may remain fin health and return to your duties in December next with renewed strength" The gavel came down with whack and amid cheers and tine waving of tiny flags the first session of the f1ity-ninth con Rress was at an end.
