BICYCLE IS DEAD AND AUTO
 IS KING OF MANUFACTURERS

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The remark able growth in the automobile industry and the decline of bicycle products are strikingly indicated in statement is- sued today by the census bureau on the manufacture of automobiles, bicycles and tricycles for 1905.
 The total production of automobiles in 1905 was 22,S30, valued at $26,645,O64 as against only 3.723 in 1900, with a value of $4,74S,011, thus showing an in- crease in value of 461.1 per cent.
 Of the 21.692 autos" turned out by automobile factories 1S,699, or S6.2 per cent were propelled by gasoline: l,56S. or 7.o per cent by steam, and 1,42S, or 66 per cent. by electricity.
 The figures concerning the manufac- ture of automobiles. represent the out put of the l2l establishments reporting the complete automobile.
 In addition to these there were forty- seven establishments engaged prirna- rily in other lines of manufac .ure. such as carriages, and wagons, bicycles, sew ing machines, etc., which during the year covered by the census, turned out LBS automobiles, valued at $S79,205; ; and fifty-seven establishments which manufactured automobile bodies and parts 70 the value of SS,"sS,472.
 In the period between the two cen suses the number of establishments turning out the finished automobile as their principal product increased from if .y-seven to 12I; the amount of capi- tai invested in these establishments from S5,76S,S57 to $20,555,247; and the average number of wage earners em- ployed from 2,241 to l0,239. The aver

age capital per establishment increased from $101,20S to $16s,S7s, or SIS per cent.
 Of the total number of automobiles manufactured in automobile factories, 12,131, or 55.9 per cent were runabouts; and 1920, or 33.3 per cent, touring cars. Buckboards stood third in number turned out, 675; Stanhopes fourth, with 520: and delivery wagons fifth, with All.
 The value of American made auto mobiles and parts exported increased from $94S.52S in 1902, the first year that they were separately reported, to $2,- 481,24s in 1905. The greater part of these exports went to European mar kets. To the United Kingdom more than $600,000 worth of American made automobiles are parts Las been export ed In each of the years from 1902 to 1905. In the same period exports to France have increased from $59,051 to $252,742; to Italy from $2,200 to $159,- 396, and to Germany from $24,49l to 154.14l. In 1905 there were in all six .een European countries whic.. import ed the American machine.
 The 1905 census of the manufacture of bicycles and tricycles disclosed great decreases since 1900.

 May we further beg that the ordi- nance forbidding women and children from entering saloons be, most rigidly enforced.
 We beg to submit. secondly, that many houses of shame are to be found in our school church and resident sec- tions of the city. We are not unmind- full oe the steps you have so far taken in this matter, nor are we ungratefui therefor, and this gives us confidence In our present appeal.
 This evil is second only to the saloon. Our youth are confronted with it in its most damaging aspects.

 Finally. we crave in the interests of our city and people that such ordi- nances as may cover in whole or in part these evils above mentioned. be rigidly enforced to their utmost extent.

A plea against the saloons and houses of ill-repute. as factors which initiate against the peace and prosperity of the city. and as having a specially strong influence for evil among the negro race, was entered at the meeting of the City Council last night. when Mayor Teague forwarded to that body petition from twenty-four leading members of the black race in Mont gomery for their consideration.
 Referring to the saloon ss. an ''un- mitigated nuisance" the petition asked that all places where liquor IS sold be removed from residence sections or the city. and prayed that the ordinance forbidding women and children enter ing saloons be enforced. Houses of Ill., fame, the petition requested the Conn- ell to banish from the city.
 The petition follows:
 Montgomery, Ala, Feb. IS, 1907. To His Honor, Mayor Teague, and the
 Honorable Board of Aldermen of
 the c ty of Montgomery, Ala:
 Gentlemen--In presunning to appear before this pi esence in the interest or our city and people, we trust that our motive may clearly be seen to be frea from any taint of selfishness. or any least desire to dictate the policy of your honorable body.
 The fair name and fame of our city have gone out over all the land. Home. seekers are turning their steps this way. Capitalists are seeking an out. let among us for their surplus money and the future looms bright with. promise In the near distance We re ioice, in fact that the negro artisan holds so favorable place in the me- chanicaI and industrial life of the city. and that the doors of opportunity to commercial enterprise stand open to the ambitious and capable. We are glad for the harmony and good will that exist between the races, and that riot and bloodshed have. so far, been avert ed by the prompt, decided action Of the officers of the law and public-spirtted. patriotic citizens.
 We deplore, however, the tact that there is still found so much of idleness and crime within our borders, and es- pecially among our own people, and stand ready to use every legitimate means within our hands to correct this state of affairs.
 Therefore. in order that the present desirable conditions may continue, and that the evils may be corrected, and thus the high ideals of the people be more nearly approached, and, in behalf of the negro citizens of Montgomery. the undersigned beg leave to submit this memorial, framed and adopted by representative body composed of ministers, teachers, physicians, bust ness men, artisans and laborors of the negro race.
 First, we call your respectful atten- tion to the presence of saloons in resi- dence sections of the city, whose pres ence ever tends to breed disturbance and crime in the forms of drunkenness,

WILL BUILD WHARF
VALUABLE PENSACOLA PROPERTY
 IS TO- BE USED.
City May Reject Proposals to Lease Water Front at Foot of Palafox Street--New Court
 Judge.

Pensacola, Fla. Feb. 1S.-(Speciai.)-- The Board of Public Works today re- ceived propositions from two parties to construct and maintain a wharf on water front in the possession of the city.
 This property, which is considered the most valuable waterfront proptrey In the city, was formerly held by Capt. E. E. Saunders and he maintained a wharf at the point, which was destroy ed during the September hurricane. When he started to rebuild the city refused to grant him building permit. upon the ground that he did not hold title to the property and that 1t was the property of the city, This finally resulted in the former owner ceding the property to the city, and he now has submitted a proposition to the city 70 construct wharf and maintain It for period of five years, paying to the city yearly rental to be agreed upon.
 W. F. Creary, another property own CT, has made a similar proposition. He offers to construct fine wharf, with cresoted or iron piling and give the city the free use of it for freight and pas- senger purposes. for a period of five years. At he expiration of that time. the city is to have the right to pur- chase the wharf at a valuation to be agreed upon, but if 1t does not care to exercise this privilege, the lease is to be extended for another five years. and at the end of that time the wharf Is to be turned over to the city free Of cost.
 The two propositions have been re- ferred to the City Council, as the Board uf Works has not the authority to either accept or reject them. It is not probable, however, that either will be accepted, as 1t Is the intention to erect at the point a fine city wharf, some thing which is badly needed here.
 The property is very valuable for the reason that it is centrally located, being at the foot of Palafox Street, the principal business street of the city. and extends along the bay dis tance of about 200 feet.
