From the above showing it is very evi- dent that with continued prosperity the worlds production will pass the GO,OO0 GOO ton mark in 1907 by several million tons: in fact, the production the last half of 1906 is considerably above 3O0O0,0O tons
 At no time In the worlds history has there been such activity in the direction of increasing the production of Iron In our own country furnaces to have ca- pacity of at least SO0O,00O tons per year in course of construction. Alabama's s fur mace capacity will be considerably great CT in 1907 than in any previous year. Ger many expects to increase about 1,5O0, GOO tons in 1907 from new furnaces, and Eng land as well as several other countries are preparing to make moderate gains in their output of iron in the near future
 The worlds production of iron is in- creasing at a remarkable pace as the gain for 1905 and 1906 has been 13, 800 900 tons. Since 1900 the increase has been 40,- 100000 tons. to 59000,OO0. a change the more remarkable since there was no ma terial gain in either 1901 or 1904
 The increase in the worlds output of iron at periods five years apart has been as follows:

Effort to Secure Sub- Treasury
 to Be Continued
JOHNSTON IS CHAIRMAN
Five Prominent Business Men From Birmingham and the State Are to Be Appointed by MT.
 Harding.

Chairman ". P. G. Harding of the com- mlttee appointed some time ago to con- duct the campaign for the location of the new federal sub-treasury at Birmingham, will probably name a delegation to go l to Washington in the interest of the mat ter today
 At a meeting of the committee held at the Commercial club rooms a few days ago, MT. Harding was authorized to se- lect delegation of five prominent busl- ness men of Birmingham and from the state at large to go to Washington to present Birringham's claims for the sub treasury before the congressman who will decide the matter of location.
 Prior to the adjournment of Congress for the holiday recess a large delegation went to the national capitol in the in- terest of the location of the sub-treasury and received the assurance of those who were called upon, and who will take part in the selection that Birmingham will receive careful consideration and the members of the former delegation feel confident that Birmingham's chances to win are very good.

 It was decided at the recent meeting of the campaign committee that delega- tion of five would be large enough, and Mir Harding is taking time to make a careful selection of men who will have in- Nrepce and who will he able to put the advantages of Birmingham in the best possible light.
 MT. Harding has already named Gov ernor Joseph F. Johnston as chairman of the delegation. The new delegation will probably go to Washington about Wednesday or Thursday. The location will be decided by a vote of the members of Congress from the states that are interested, namely Tennes- see, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and South Carolina. An effort will be made to have the Mississippi delegation take part in the selection. Birmingham and Atlanta are the leading contestants for the sub | treasury.
 The Alabama delegation is working hard for Birmingham.
 Congressman J. H. Bankhead passed through the city Saturday on his way to Washington, leaving Birmingham Satur- day night. He went thus early to attend the meeting of one or two important com- mittees. Congressman Oscar w. Under wood left last night at 61o o'clock. Con- gressman Sidney J.

NEGRO ARRESTED ON
 CORONER'S ORDER
SUSPECTED OF BEING lMPLlCAT- ED IN THE MURDER OF ANAS- TAsIUs ALGIRA-INQUEs WILL BE HELD TODAY.

Yesterday afternoon Police Officers Streit and Malone arrested a negro who gave his name as A. King, on suspicion of being the murderer of Anascarius Algira, the Greek merchant who was shot and killed last Thursday evening in his store on the corner of Third avenue and Twenty-fourth street.
 King was arrested on the order of Coroner Paris and will be held pending the investigation which is being made.
 The little Greek Joy, the son of the man who was killed, is unable to identify either King or the negro Cole who was arrested on Saturday night, but other Greeks who live on Second avenue say that these negroes were in that neigh borhood on the night of the murder.
 The police say they feel confident that the negro who shot Alglra must have lived some where close to the Greek s store, as he went there to buy eggs.

"Mr. BIarney From Ireland"

Fiske O'ETara, a young Irish tenor, will begin weeks engagement at the Bijou theatre tonight in Charles E. Blaney's MT. Blarney From Ireland" The star and the play comes highly recommended. The St. Paul PioneerPress said:
 An attempt to break into the field oc- eupied so long and well by Chauncey Ol- colt and two more favorite Irish singing comedians is fraught with considerable risk for however fickle the public may be- 1t is slow to accept beginners fin the Irish romantic school. But FislSe O Hara. who appears in MT. Barney From Ire land at the Grand this week. is most estimable asprant for the honors. In fact, 1t behooves some of the popular singers to look out for there Is danger that Mir. O'Hara may forestall them as a matinee idol.
 If there is a young actor who has ev- cry prospect of singing his way into the hearts of American audiences 1t is MT OHara. He has all the physical quail tiles of the stage hero and he knows how to sing some, too. He sings somo pretty solos which were written and composed by him.
 There are features 10 the production which appeal to the lover of the melo- dramatic The fact that Charles E. Blan- ey is responsible for the play assures that. The plot is excellent
 MT. OIIara is supported by a capable company.

 Six of the leading iron countries will show an increase of at least $500, GOO tons oyer their output in 1905. The remaining countries, including Russia, will probably show no gain whatever as a whole.

A slOO,O0o building fronting the present gymnasium is needed now. It Is to be the interest of every business man who employees others and a weight upon every Christian who knows the need of his fel- lows.
 Houston, Tex, has just contributed more than this amount toward the cree tion of a magnificent structure, and l feel sure that Birmingham will do the same. With the advance of our commercial in- terests we must not forget our irstitu- tions."
