THE THIRD WARD.
HIS many FRIENDS ARE GETTING BUSY

Captain Michael Davis, Of the Walla
Walla police force, is the latest person
picked out by some of the taxpayers
as being composed of the right kind of
material for chief of police. A large
number of his friends, it is said, are
trying to induce the officer to come
out for the position, and they have
assured him that if he will become
candidate he will receive their hearth
est support.
One of his friends said this morn
ing: Captain Davis has been a men,
ber of the Walla Walla police force
for many years and has proven an
efficient officer The fact that he was
chosen captain of the force is evidence
that he understands his business, and
he would make one of the best chiefs
that Walla Walla has ever had. l
would like to see him become candi-
date, for I believe that he could be
elected"
McCaw for the Council.
Quite a number of property owners
in the Third ward have proposed the
name of County Commissioner McCaw
as a possible candidate for councilman
from that ward They say that Mr..
McCaw has been one of the best coun-
the board and they are sure that he
would be just the man to represent
the taxpayers of the Third ward i'll

SHOT AT INTRUDER
MYsTERIOUs ACTION OF MAN IN
 TUSCALOOSA.
Fired On Three Times, Hut Persisted in Returning to House of Mrs. Lula Hawkfns-Negro Barber
 Arrested.

Tuscaloosa. May 14-(Special.) )--Sat- , urday evening at the home of Mrs. Lula Hawkins, who has been very i'll for several days, very bold act occurred. Mrs. Hawkins had at her bedside her daughter Mrs. C. D. Townsend, and in the adjoining room her son, John HawA kins; both were sitting up with their mother.
 Mir. Hawkins, hearing a strange noise, glanced up and saw man with both hands on the window sill, ready to enter the room. He immediately picked up a rife and ran out in pursuit of the intruder and found him in an alley near the house. He fired when the person stopped as if to shoot. Mir. Hawkins went over to J. T. Gamers where he secured a shot gun. When he returned he found the man still in the alley and | fired at him. The unknown man then ran down the alley and grabbed at the ladies who were standing in the door way He ran towards the river and passed several people on Sixth Street Last night a second attempt was made and Mir. Hawkins shot at the unknown man at close range three times, his gun being loaded with buckshot, but failed to strike him.
 A searching party immediately went out, and a negro barber was captured at o'clock coming from the direction where the retreating person was last seen. He failed to give a satisfactory
 account of himself and was immedi- ate1y carried to the city prison. Lieutenant-Governor Cunningham will speak before the citizens of Tuscaloosa tomorrow evening, and will, in all prob ability. have a large crowd of hearers. The following invitation has been is- sued by the University: The trustees, | the faculties. the alumni, and the grad uating classes of the University of Alabama invite you to be present at the celebration of the seventy-fifth an- niversary of the opening of the Uni | versity, May 27 to 30, 1906, Tuscaloosa. | Ala.

question of how fast We can get our order for machinery and necessary ma terial filled and installed. Work on our additional open hearth furnaces Is now in progress and we are rapidly putting in the foundations.
 ''It is a matter of history that steel plant Is never completed, and we ex- psct to continue adding to our Gads- den plant almost indefinitely, includ- |ing numbers of smaller plants to con- vert the products of the steel mill into innumerable articles, large and small and now made of steel, the demand for which q largely increasing as the supply of timber grows less and less. Tt is an interesting fact that there are only three companies in the Uni- ted States that make steer and wire products through every process from the mining of the ore and coal to the making of the iron steel, and then the
 conversion into wire. nails and pro- ducts. These companies are the South ern Steel Company, the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company and the United States Steel Corporation.
 All of these works at Gadsden call for a great increase in the number of our employees, and we win use fifteen hundred or twenty-ffve hundred men in the next year or two in addition to those we already employ. This esti- mate does not include the thousand or moro skilled mechanics and laborers we will use in putting up the plants.
 Tn fact there is immediate employ ment for thousand men, and one of the greatest difYiculties in getting them is to provide homes for the new men coming in. These additional men we are bringing in will certainly increase the population of the Gadsden district not less than 15.oo0 people In the next two years"
 The Southern Steel Company recently sold bond issue of $3,000.000 in New York and s2.50e.000 of this amount is now available for new plants and the development of old ones. The coal an iron mines are to be developed to 4 point where they will supply material for an additional blast furnace.
 It Is not stated what the steel car plant will cost but the sum will be enormous.
 The company is now employed in ex- tending the steel plant by the addition of two open hearth furnaces. This work Is already under way and the new plants will be ready to furnish steel long before the structural mill Is ready to take care of 1t.
 The Southern Steel Company is cap ita1ized at s1e.ooo.o0o and is associated with some of the largest steel manu- featuring interests of the country.
 The announcement made means that Cndsden has secured the location of the largest manufacturing plant estab- lished In the State of Alabama for sev- eraf years. It means an increase in population of 15.000 people and the mere building of the new plants will bring about an unprecedented condition of prosperity in this city. The problem of housing workingmen needed to op- crate Gadsden's industries is a grave
 one and hundreds of houses must be built to care for the construction forces. Millions of dollars are to be spent here within the next few years and this is one time that Gadsden in- vites every laboring man to come that can find a sheltering place.
