 SHOWING GOOD Many Cities Have Fire
 Losses Greater. INTERESTING FIGURES GIVEN Per Capita Loss in Other Cities
 Much Higher Than Here. Report to Naffonnl Board Gives Loss From Flames at s4.I3 Per Cap-
 itn, Based on Population
 of Only 10000.

Chief J. F. Browder of the Fire Department. gives out some interest ing data concerning the report of the special committee of the National Board of Fire Underwriters which was de- livered in this city some time ago. Af- ter visiting the city and examining into the local conditions. favorable and otherwise. the committee In its report on Montgomery stated that the loss per capita in this city was $4.13. which far eXceccfcd what 1t should be in well regulated cities.
 As matter of fact" said Chief Browder. yesterday, the loss per cap- ita is not s4.13, but rather an even $3, | assuming the city's population to be 5000. Judging, however. that the population is only 10000. which esti-
 mate was given by the board, and even letting s413 stand as the per capita loss the report of the same board shows that Montgomery's per capita loss is far below the average. and all
 most the best of all cities in the Unit ed States" L According to the report of the Ma tional Board. which was rendered in | dependent of the report of the spe- cial committee sent to this city and which was compiled from the statistics sent to the boards headduarters by fire chiefs in all > towns over 10000 population. Montgomery for its num-
 Der of runs stands in a class high
 above all cities reported upon. The report of the National Board, population at 10000, giving it credit for responding to 260 alarms, and esti- mating it's per capita loss at s4.13 Quincy, Ill, a city slated at 10000. is given per capita loss of sS.22. Sioux City, Ia. whose reputation Is estimat-
 cd at 10000 Is given a per capita loss
 of 8 on 216 runs, forty-four runs less
 than the number made in Montgomery
 during the past fiscal year.
 Birmingham has its population es-
 timated by the board at 44.000. It is
 given credit for making 514 runs a
 number greater by 250 than the num-
 ber made in Montgomery. and its per
 capita loss is estimated at $s.90, Or
 more than twice as much as Montgom-
 ery's per capita on less than twice as
 many runs.
 Knoxville. whose population is esti-
 mated at 10000. is given a per capita
 loss of s9.20 on 299 alarms.
 Fl Paso, Texas. a city whose popu-
 lation is estimated et 42,117. is given
 per capita loss of safS on 137 alarms,
 per capita that is really greater than
 Montgomery's per capita. and that
 shows up to a poorer advantage in that II iHaae ohiy dooul oHe-Hail as many runs.
 Lexington. Ky. city whose ponula-
 tion is estimated at 10000. is slated
 as having made 359 runs. and is given
 pnr capita loss of $540.
 ''If the National Board of Fire JTn-
 derwriters." Chief Browder says. ''is
 going to criticise Montsomery for hav-
 ing a per capita loss of $3 or even of
 s4.13. if they argue from their own figures. I am a little interested to know
 what they are going to say to these
 other cities whose showing Is much poorer than Montgomery's.

 Miss Coulters serpolette will no doubt make a marked impression. She has been playing Serpolette several seasons ana Sne mas been pronounced exceptionally good in the part.
 Wednesday night the Olympians will repeat Mascot" with Miss Coulter as Bettina. Those who failed to. see the pretty soubrette in this part Will miss something good if they fail to see the opers.

 MT. Moxey occupied the stand Throughout the morning and afternoon session of the court and all told. iden- tffied eighteen entries which It IS claimed by the prosecution are proof positive of misappiication of funds as charged. Tie aggregate of the amounts testified to today was $l,000,Ooo. A similar amount was traced In like man ner yesterday. As on yesterday, the bank examiner was not allowed To ai- Iege any connection between the vari- ous sums shown in the books,
 Snch testimony was ruled by Judge Anderson to amount to a conclusion on the part of the witness and the prose- cution was confined to introducing en- tries which showed first that loans nad been made on securities of the Wsish -corporations to that amount, often pre- cisely the same and at other times ap- proximately those secured on the loans had been paid into the personal account of Walsh on the day the loans were made. and that these amounts had peen naid out of the Walsh account on the same day and finally that /the Walsh corporations had received on those days amounts. the total of which was aoout the same as the amount originaiiy loaned. 4
