 WARM QUARTERS
SLoSS COMPANY IS GREATLY TROUBLED BY MEN WHO SLEEP AROUND COKE OVENS ON COLD NIGHTS.

Though cuddled up cozily in warm sleeping quarters, a number Of unwanted lodgers have been rudely awakened dur ing the past few nights and hauled away to jail to continue their rest on iron bunkers.
 The Sloss-Shefheld company found itself taking regular night rooners and strenuously objected. These cold nights the heat of coke ovens and soft cinders for blanket have been too great a temp tation for the homeless, so night after night they have wandered eastward and reclined their weary bodies In calm re- pose.
 But for several Saturdays they have been confronted by a man in uniform who was making it his duty to keep the corridors between the rows of ovens clear of stragglers, and eight have been ar rested, charged with tresspasslng.
 Four of these Judge F'eagin found to have knotty hands. showing the marks of work and as they had just arrived in the city they were allowed to search a few days for a job. He promised them, however, that the city has hotel where they will sleep as vagrants if they do not find other quarters

 HUNDRED MINERS

Bisbee, Arg, February 17.-Since last Tuesday HOO miners have been discharged by the mining companies of the Warren district. Although no official announce ment has been made as to the cause, it is generally understood that the discharge of the men Is due directly to the advent of organizers of the Western Federation of Miners in the district, and their an- nouncement that they are here for the purpose of unionzing the camp. It is the general expectation that before the close of this week all the mines in the district will be closed down.
 Warren district has always been an open camp. union and non-union miners alike finding employment here. The mining camps are determined to continue these conditions instead of having the camp unionized by the Western Federation.

Still cnnging to his story that his par ents live in Birmingham, little 1o-year-old sammie Givins spent another night at po- lice headquarters and strongly denied the charge that he Is an escape from an or phanage at Selma.
 However, 1t Is now believed that in- stead of his having run away to selma from Birmingham, the boy purposely told his story backward. He has been recog- nized as a runaway from the home at Selma and is being held until instruc- tons arrive.

He eats what the policemen give him ana hunks comfortably on a temporary couch. Strange faces and many questions whlcn would start an ordinary boy into plead- ings for home have no effect upon him.

(Advertisement.) Another Explanation Don't Explain.
That

Mayor Wards effort to explain away the charge that I made of his having shown partiality in the matter of as- sessing the Illegal tax is as futile as some of his other explanations. The facts and figures which I presented were taken directly from the books of record in the city hall under the management and con- trol of Mayor Ward, and an examination of which was denied me through my att torney when first request was made. But the truth was made so plain that these records are always at the command of the public that we were permitted to examine them finally. and publication which I made was simply a copy from that record. In those records 1t did appear in some instances that City Council or dered the reduction; in others, that Mayor Ward did so. FRANK P. O'BRIEN.

and I am told that the real winning fel- low at the card table always incurs en- mity at such places. As I have never played game of poker nor entered into gambling proposition in this city, nor anywhere else, 1 do not know that these propositions are the rules. but I am told so. do know, however, that gambling makes war against good morals, and for that reason it seems to me to be the duty of every good citizen of Birmingham who goes to the polls to vote today to ascer- tain for a certainty whicn one of the two candidates for Mayor is known in sport ing circles as a poker player.
 MT. Wards campaign manager asks tha question. Are the good citizens unready for the issue?" He means the very issue to which I refer above, and 1t is their bounden duty to answer it today.

MT. Wards campaign manager has this paragraph in his hypocritical harangue In the newspapers:
 Mayor Ward has proven a menace to the gamblers, a restraint on the liquor traffic and an unrelenting foe to the dive keeper Probably the citizens of Bir- mingham are not yet prepared to uphold man who incurs enmity in these quar- ters. If our standard of life here is too low for warfare In the interest of good morals; if we are not yet ready for se- rious conflict with the unrestrained evils of the whisky barrel and the card table, 1t will be shown on Monday next by the triumph of the saloon and the sporting allies in the first real encounter of the sort Birmingham has ever known.'- F'rom Wards Campaign Manager)

A Curious Spectacle

That is curious spectacle now
afforded by the American republic in
the matter of forestry. While sew
eral states have fully awakened to the
necessity of preserving their remain
ing forests and of planting others,
and while the national forsestry serv-
ice is putting forth every effort to
bring the reserves into such condition
as viii afford the largest supply OF
timber against the famine now newt
able, on private forest holdings the
same old destructive methods of lum
bering go on. The famine for which
states feebly prepare, and which the
forces Of Forester Pinchot are fight
ing to stave off, most lumbermen are
doing their best to hasten. The
proceedings of the latter afford Ie
markable illustration of the dastruc-
tive momentum sometimes acquired
by the forces of greed, wnen legisla
lures postpone too long the exercise
of the duty of restraint. Maxwell I
