Birmingham Mayor and His
 RiUaL Appear Before Delegation.

Although Mayor Ward of Birming- ham and Alderman Parker are in Montgomery for the purpose of fight ing each other for political power. they are on personal friendly terms. When Mir. Parker reached the Capitol Mayor Ward was the first to prefer his hand and give him welcome. Since that time they have appeared on the streets together and talked freely about the Birmingham City Council. Both seem to have a desire to gain control for the purpose of yielding all the influence possible for the good of Birmingham.
 It was because of this friendly feel ing that the two men sat near each other at the Capitol Tuesday night when the Jefferson delegation met for the purpose of hearing arguments on both sides. owing to the fact that the bill of Mayor Ward affects only Bir- mingham, the Jefferson delegation will decide which way the bill shall be re- ported. At the meeting last night there were present Colonel Sam Will John, l. J. Haley. Jr., Dr. NJ. J. Rags dale and John T. Glover of the Jeffer- son delegation. This constituted quorum and Colonel John acted as chairman.
 Alderman Parker of Birmingham was surrounded by Alderman NJ. J. Gregg Alderman John W. O'Eeill. Alderman simon KIotz. Dick" Gambell, Thomas Mcdonald. T. II. Motion, Alderman Jack" Greener. Alderman Dick" Bur nett Dan Hogan and his attorneys. Sidney J. Bowie and Sterling Wood. all of Birmingham.

Mayor Ward was present with his friends. including Alderman c. II. Estes and his attorneys. Judge Samuel D Weakley and Walker Percy. Those members of the Jefferson delegation not present were Senator Miller, Rep resentatives Urquhart. Loveiady and King.
 The first speaker of the evening was MT. Bowie. who devoted his time to the legal phase of the bill offered by Bir- ming gham's Mayor. He frequently re- ferred to the bill which he held in his hand and said it was cumbersome, un- intelligible and purely a local measure introduced for the purpose of repeating part of a general bill.
 Mir. Bowie was followed by Judge Weakley for Mir. Ward. after which Mir Percy spoke briefly for the Mayor of Birmingham and the concluding argu- ment was made by Mir. Wood for Alder man Parker.
 The trouble between Mayor Ward and Alderman Parker arose over the adoption of the municipal code bill by the council of Birmingham and the electioA of Alderman Parker as pres ident. thereby depriving the Mayor of his seat as presiding officer. The Mayor forcibly took charge and Mir. Parker instituted court proceedings which have just been decided in his favor. The bill he had introduced seeks to have the organization of governing bodies in all cities in Alabama over 35- 900 in population the same as provided in the charter prior to August l3. 1901. until officers are elected in September. 1908,

BAD FIRE INVERTED
WIND AIDS RAPID SPREAD or
 FLAMES.
Orisin Of Biase Unkuown--c,ttxeuu Loud In Praise Of Fire Company
 In Averting Great .st Losa.

Mobile. Nov. 12.-tSpecial. )--what promised to be a serious conflagration on the south side of Bloodgeod. be- tween Jackson and Joachim streets, this morning was only averted by the splendid work of the fire department and outside aid. As result one one story cottage was completely destroyed. a two-story building gutted and one- story building badly damaged.
 Fire was discovered in the one-story frame building No. 259, Bloodgood street at 1e:30 o'clock and an alarm was sent in. Hose company No. re- sponded with promptness and soon had water on the building. The wind, however, was from the east and blow ing almost gale and 1t was readily seen that unless the one company had assistance there would be disaster and great destruction. A telephone mes- sage was sent to fire headquarters and soon another hose wagon and a hook and ladder truck were on the scene.
 The fire soon destroyed the building in which it originated and communi- cated to the building on either side. The building. No. 2s1-3, to the westward, a two-story building. owned by Mrs. Charles Hall, was almost entirely gut ted. The building No. 257, owned by Mir. Mallon. was badly damaged. When the second hose company connected with the fire hydrant the stream was very weak, hardly having any force. Sparks flew in every direction and several houses In the vicinity caught on fire on the roofs. but the incipient blazes were soon extinguished.
 The origin of the fire and the extent of damages could not be ascertained. Those who witnessed the work of Hose Company No. g were loud in praise of their efficient work.

COURT EN SESSION.
First Case is Tried In Cold Court
 Room. e.

First Case is Tried in Cold Court Room. e., Mobile, Nov. 12.- Especial )-The
 first case called in the City Court this
 morning was that of the State vs, ,
 Charles Hannon, charged with having earnal kno owledge of a girl under 10 years of age. There was a special ve-
 nire summoned for the case but there
 was little difficulty experienced in ob- taining a jury. Those selected to hear the case were Russell Ladd. Phillip Hell version. John Danner. Jr.. William A. Lott. George D, Walker James A. An derson. Henry NJ. Farnell. William c. Benjamin, Richard D. Walker, William H. Matgenger, John B. Cazalas and c. Hogg.
 It is alleged in the indictment that July 3 last Hannon entered the place of Mir. and Mrs. Gayle, corner Elmira and Orange Streets. as he frequently did. and that while there he had undue knowledge of little Delessie May Gayle.
 Dr. James Grey Thomas. who at- tended the child, was the first witness. and he testified as to her wounds. The child was next placed upon the stand, and notwithstanding that she is now but little more than 3 years old. she gave a very straightforward story of the affair, and ner testimony seemed to have considerable effect upon the jury.
 The other witnessse in the case did not give very material evidence. save the mother of the child. who testified as to running Hannon from the place.
 Throughout the trial. Hannon. who seems to be about IS years of age. sat by his attorney and trembled fearfully but whether from cold or fright could harddly be judged. Hannon Is repre- scented by Charles W. Tompkins. and Solicitor Webb Is looking after the in terests of the State.
