SETTLEMENT WORK
 IN BIRMINGHAM
RECREATION QUARTERS FOR CHILDREN WHOSE HOME SUR. RoUNDINGS ARE NOT. OF THE BEST TO BE PROVIDED.

At an important meeting of the Paul Hayne School Improvement association recently was begun a work that will be far-reaching in its results and the first work of the kind to be undertaken by Birmingham philanthropists-s work among the poor of the city.
 It will be remembered that the city at the request of the Board of Edu- cation bought the lot adjoining the Paul Hayne school last spring. On this lot Is fve-room house which it is proposed to put in first class repair and to use for the people of that community as a recreation hall, reading room and for classes of older boys at night and the little mothers" in the afternoon. By the little mothers'' is meant the little girls from 10 to 15 who have the care for most of the day of their younger brothers and sisters. Also an attempt will be made to have class each morn ing for the little tots. In fact the plan is to keep the building open every day and all day until or 10 at night Sun days included, so there will be some place outside of their homes where fathers, mothers, boys and girls can feel free to come and rest and enjoy themselves.
 Later, no doubt there will be illustrated

LITTLE NEGRO BOY
 SHOOTS HIS COUSIN
HAD PICKED UP PISTOL TO Ex- ANIME IT, WHEN IT WENT OFF, THE BULLET STRIKING THE RY- STANDER.

While handling the loaded pistol be- longing to an older brother, the gun went off in the hands of Austin Thomas, lit- tie negro boy. 12 years old, last night. killing his cousin, Solomon Thomas, boy about 14 years of age, who was standing nearby.
 The shooting, which is naturally sup posed to have been accidental, took place early last night at the home of the little negroes on Twenty third street, between Nineteenth and Twentieth avenues, North Birmingham. The boy who had the pistol in his hands says that his brother, with whom he and his cousin lived, had gone out and they went to the bureau drawer to see if he had taken his gun. The younger of the negro boys picked the gun up when he found 1t in the drawer, and it is supposed that it was cooked, as it went off in his hand.
 The bullet from thep istol struck the little negro standing nearby, entering just below the left eye. Death was instan- taneous. Austin Thomas, the little negro who held the gun, was arrested last night and placed in the county jail on a charge of murder. He will probably be released, however, as soon as the coroner investi- gates the case, as the shooting was clearly accidental.

lectures and cooking classes. In fact it partment to enable the mothers to better prepare the food and clothes for the fam fly. The Mayor in his message to the Council last spring commented the work of the good women of the school improve ment. They have no doubt done wonders for each school, but 1t is possible that the originators of this work, while real between parents and school did not expect the work 'f6 broaden out as it has done. Heretofore. each association has worked for it's own school, but now they enter on broader work and all are working together for the good of the citys poor The president of the different associations are members of a committee on plans looking to the beginning of settlement work in the Paul Hayne district
 meeting will be held after the holi- days to formulate plans and the president of each School Improvement association is expected to be present. The first meeting of the committee will be at the Paul Hayne school to enable them to look over the ground and afterwards the meetings will be held at the High school
 At present there is a fund of $50 at the disposal of the committee and it is ex- pected that there will be no difficulty in raising the needed amount as several have testified their desire to help in this matter. Several hundred dollars will be needed and with this sum much is ex- pected to be accomplished

OUTLOOK FOR, IRON
 TRADE FRIGHTENING
DECIDEDLY BETTER FEELING AND SOME NEW BUSINESS OFFER. RESPONSIVENESS IN MIDDLE WEST IN GOOD CONDITION.

Matthew Addy & Co.'S Cincinnati re- port for the current week follows:
 There. is a general impression among both producers and consumers that this is a good thing to do all the odd jobs of house cleaning and repairing which a long period of great industrial activity has made necessary. And when these various things have been done, and manufacturing plants have been put in order, We shall be ready to roll up CUT sleeves and get to work again. The opinion seems to be that soon after the new year business will be- gin to revive.
 That there is already a more cheerful tone Is evident. Tue first wave of pes simsm has spent its force. When the money stringency began no one knew what was about to happen, and to many things seemed worse than they were But business Is not going to stop Things have been had enough, heaven knows We have gone and are going through a period of curtallment and retrenchment that -oc completeness and suddenness has had no parallel. The way in which iron fur naces and iron foundries have been shut down, and tremendous industry that but little while ago was like strong man running a race, and is now a cripple hobbling along on crutches-this is a spectacle for gods and men. Yet the iron trade is not going to hobble indefinitely. The world is not going to come to an end just now.
 This week has seen prices sink to de- cidedly attractive prices--not to makers, but to the consumers. Pig iron at S14 or trihe less, f. O. b. Birmingham. and at less than $l7 f. o. b. Ohio furnace, be- gins to look like a good purchase. There has been enough inquiry to show that consumers are watching developments closely. And not only have there been inquiries, but there have been some fair sales. The purchases are not large, but there have been quite few of them. The delivery in all cases has been compara- lively short. The record of the week shows great improvement over any week since october.
 We have been to considerable pains m interviewing large number of consum- CTS of iron in the middle west, and while many of them see no flattering prospects for any immediate improvement. yet the majority are in fairly good condition and expect to have good business during the early part of the year. The larges maker of machine tools in this vicinit has just booked-surprising as 1t ma seem--a large order from an eastern raj road, and this business, together with ders already on hand, will keep them ing for some time to come. All the me CTS of iron we saw stated that they l
 been surprised by the new business
 was offering, and which they had not pected.

AMERICAN
 CONFERENCE ENDS Secretary Root Thanks Dele gates for Patriotic Work DIAZ IS WELL PLEASED President Anderson Declares That Central American Republics Have
 Entered New Era of Peace
 and Prosperity

Washington, December 2O.-Felicitous speeches by Secretary Root, President Luis Anderson and Ambassador Greet of Mexico marked the close today of the Central American peace conference, which has been in session here for over month, and has been a great and distinctly sig nificant convention.
 The delegates assembled this afternoon at the conference rooms in the Bureau of American Republics for the final session. Secretary Root presided. Assistant Sec retaries Bacon and Wilson of the state department, and John Barrett, the drec- tor of the Bureau of American Republics, were also present President Anderson and Ambassador Creel, preceding Secretary Root, made speeches which referred to work of the conference and the splendid results accomplished. Replying to these remarks, Secretary Root spoke as fol- lows:
 Roots Address.
 'I beg you gentlemen to accept my hearty and sincere congratulations. The people of Central America, withdrawn to a great distance from the scene of your labors, may not know, but I wish that my voice might reach each one of them to tell them what during the month that has passed their loyal representatives have been doing for them in sincerity and in the discharge of patriotic duty, ser vice which stands upon the highest level of the achievements of the most advanced civilization. You have each one of you been faithful to the protection of inter ests of your several countres and you have reached conclusions, which l believe are wise and are well adapted to advance the progress of each and all of the Amer ican republics toward that much-to-bc- desired consummation in the future of one great, strong and happy Central American republic. May the poor husbandman who cultyates the fields of your five republics, may the miner who is wearing out his weary life in the hard labor of your mines, may the mothers who are caring for the children that are to make the people of Central America in the future may the millions whose prosperity and happiness you have sought to advance here, may the 1"~ations of the future in VOur
