ADJUSTMENTS.
At the jefferson.

The play at the Jefferson last night was
a romantic drama in which fine scenic
effects and rich costumes had part The
first act presented the maid in her home
in a forest, and the time of the year
was that of rich autumnal tints and
falling leaves. No handsomer stage pic
ture could well be devised.
In that forest grew up to young wom-
anhood the heroine, Alicia, ignorant of
her real birth. She is in the hands Of
a trusted nurse. While seated in a great
tree she overhears plot against the
King She resolves to leave her forest
home, and she is carried to court. BY
accident she learns that the conspirators
are to meet at a tavern. She goes there
and learns their secrets, but she Is rec
directly to the King, and the conspiracy
against him is foiled. The King proves to
be her father, who out of gratitude re-
unites the daughter and the young Of
fcer she loves. Thus all ends happily.
A happy feature of Miss Emerson S
support is its evenness. No one is great,
but all are evenly good. II one were men
toned. all in common justice should be.

Emerson resembles in voice, appearance

FIRST ESTIMATES
WERE INCORRECT
DAMAGE FROM MORRIS AVENUE
FIRE NOTHING LIKE so SERIOUS
AS FIRST THoUGHT-INJURE
FlREMEN IMPROVE.

the fire loss on Morris avenue from the
b. of Tuesday night was much less
than at first estimated. The stores of
considerably damaged. but it was found
yesterday morning that The total loss was
less than $4,000; it may be even less than
$4,000.
An investigation brought to light the
fact that merchandise thought to have
been totally destroyed was found, COW
cred with the debris of the fire. only
partially damaged, or altogether intact
The fire, as reported, was of unknown
spot it was started. Its progress was
rapid and had the fire department not
made a wonderfully skillful and deter
mined stand, large loss would prob
ably have been sustained to several
houses adjoining those in which the
fam were raging. After the fire was
got '-nder control, the buildings presented
an appearance of having been entirely
Quilted. The fact of the matter proved to
be, after the mornings investigation,
that the second floor, seriously damaged
allowed the first floor to be partially filed
with debris. Merchants who, on retiring,
thought their entire stocks were de-
stroyed, were happy to discover on making
an examination yesterday, that their
loses were comparatively small.
Reports from Captain Teeter and Fire
man Summers. who received injuries in
fighting the fire, are that both men are
fast improving.

Conference Discusses
Greater birmingham

Smith of Birmingham, Robert Jemison,
Jr. president of the Commercial club,
Postmaster j. Rivers Carter and fssis5-
ant Postmaster Blakemore
Mr.. Carter urged a Greater Bi"mng-
ham from the postoffice point of view
stating that it would be far easier 10 OBJ
tain an adequate force of carriers for
100, 900 population if it was under one city
government than if that population was
divided between several municipalities. He
said that the chief drawback to Birning-
ham securing better postoffice facilities
was the population rating.
Mr.. Blakemore spoke for a section of
the county lying between Seventh street,
the city limits of Birmingham, and Fair
view station. He said that this section was
not incorporated, and that he believed
that a majority of the members and pop
erty holders favored consolidation With
Birmingham and becoming part of Great
er Birmingham.
There was another bill offered smaller
than the original smyer bill, but also
framed by Mr.. Smyer, providing for a
consolidation plan. According to this plan
any municipality, such as Avondale. could
by a vote of the people consolidate with
Birmingham. This bill was not seriously
considered, at it did not provide any plan
by which the territory between The two
municipalities could be annexed or con-
solidated.
At the next conference held it is be-
lieved that there will be a wider repre-
sentation from the other municipalities.
and it is the desire of Mr.. Jemison that
all objections to the Smyer bill be PIT il
writing or in brief FORM so they can be
discussed

A conference of the Mayors and other
representatives of several municipalities
in regard to the Greater Birmingham
bill. was held yesterday in the Com
mereial club rooms.
After discussing the SINGER bill pro and
con for nearly two hours, the conference
adjourned. subject to the call of Robert
Jemison, Jr., president of the Commercial
club.
Only small number of the municipal
tiles were represented, as there scanned
to be some misunderstanding about The
meeting, some of those vitality interested
not receiving notices of the conference.
For that purpose it was thought best to
have another conference and see if some-
thing more definite could not be accom-.
plished.
The chief argument yesterday after
noon was in regard to the taxing ain
non-taXing districts provided for i'll the
bill. This portion of the bill has met with
some opposition. and there was q de-
cided sentiment against it at the con-
ference yesterday.
Mr.. Smyer stated that this or some
system of exemption from taxation for q
period of years was the only possible par
by which a Greater Birmingham bill
could be passed and successfully exc
cuted. Various features of the matter
were discussed by n. L. Miller senator.

The initial meeting of the committee to
plan for the establishment of a technical
school in Birmingham was held yester-
day afternoon in the Commercial club
rooms.
Every member of the committee who
was in the city was present at the meet
ing, and the session lasted for over an
hour.
The committee decided to make thor
ough investigation of the methods per-
sued in organizing and conducting schools
of that kind in other cities, and with
that view adjourned to meet later. Col.
T. G. Bush. chairman of the committee,
stated that he would call a meeting

face was nerve-racking even to think
about Frazier was in horrible agony and
no efforts of his companions could in any
degree stop the flow of blood. They cut
the remainder of the shoe from his foot
and bound it up as best they coulo with
handSerchiefs and part of his clothing,
and Mr. Aaird left Burgin with the in
jured man, hurried quickly to the farm
house and returned to the scene with the
buggy and the elder Mr.. Frazier.
The unfortunate man had to be carried
half mile through the brambie to the
vehicle. and then the trip of twenty long
miles to medical assistance was taken up.
The party passed a miserable day, jolting
over the rocky roads, and each movement
was another pain to the throbbing
wounds.
Finally at about A p. m. the party
reached the pump house nine miles from
the city with worn out animals and were
completely exhausted themselves. A teIe-
phone message to the Eige 10y under
taking establishment started an ambu-
lance in haste toward Red mountain, and
it made record run covering the distance
of six miles to the reservoir, in a re-
markably short time. Returning the party
arrived at St. Vincent's hospital at
o'clock.
After consultation, DIR. J. r. Copeland
found it necessary to amputate the limb
just above the ankle, and at a late hour
last night Frazier was resting easily. He
is very popular in Birmingham, having
directed several previous hunting trips.
He was always one of the most oblging
of men. His father and other relatives
followed him to the city and are with
him at the hospital His many friends ex-
press the hope that he will recover in a
short time.
Four bird shots were removed from the
face Of Mr.. Arid. but he is only suffering
slightly from the wounds and will be able
to return to his business this morning.

DAY
SPENT BY HUNTERS
BURRELL FRAZIER Is WOUNDED
WHILE TWENTY MILES FROM A
PHYSICIAN BY AN ACCIDENTAL
SHOT,. 3. ARD INJURED.

While bird hunting yesterday morning
about twenty miles south of Birmingham
in the Cahaba valley, Burrell Frazier ac-
cidentally dropped his gun, discharging
a load of bird shot into his foot. A few
stray shots lodged in the face of Assist
ant County Solicitor J. b. Arid, VINO, with
IDENTITY Sheriff John Burgin, guided by
Mr.. Frazier, was on hunting trip winch
promised TO be quite successful.
Two miles from any house, and with
M nhvsician in the whole country around,
nothing whatever with which to bandage
the wounds nor to stop the bleeding the
two men suffered intense pain during the
ten hours consumed in returning to the
CITY. Solicitor Arid was not so badly In
iured. but the instep Of Fraziers foot
was torn completely off and the blood
gushed from it in streams, rendering MIN
almost unconscious within short time.
Late Tuesday afternoon the three men
left their homes in a two-horse vehicle,
arriving late at the home of Frazier s
par>nts where they spent the night. We'd
nesday morning, leaving their horses they
set out along the Cahaba river and had
reached a point about two miles distant
when the accident occurred.
Frazier was leading up steep hill car
rving his gun over his shoulder when he
stumbled in a bush and the gun, single
barreled winchester fell to the ground,
the hammer striking on a rock and the
load being discharged.
Mr.. Arid, who was on lower ground and
slightly to the rear, believes that the bird
shot which entered the right side Of his
face must have passed through Frazier's
foot. as they did not strike with much
force.
The predicament which they now had to
