STATE INSURANCE
BROWARD WILL WARMLY ADVO-
 CATE SYSTEM.
Governor of Florida Will Send Message On the Subject to Legislature Today-Has Much InfOF-
 nation.

Tallahassee, Fla, April 14.-(Special) Governor Broward will tomorrow send a special message to the legisla- ture on the subject of state life In surance which he strongly advocates.
 He will treat the matter extensively to demonstrate that the enterprise would be profitable to the people by showing that foreign insurance compa- nies have returned in losses paid less than five millions and have received upwards of thirteen million in prem iums during the past thirteen years Norway, and the British West Indies have compulsory insurance and New Zealand has a state insurance depart ment.
 It will be suggested that the man agement be invested in a commission or a management which would elimi- nate higher salaried officers and that the entire expense would be less than the salary of a vice president or board chairman of one of the large compa- nies. It will be shown that state life insurance is no experiment, that France has a government system and that Austria and Canada also have 1t in the form of pensions while Russia and Sweden also support the same kind Of system. Germany, Bavaria, Greece and Norway, and the British est Indies have compulsory insurance and New Zealand has a state insurance department.
 The governor argues that the people can get better, cheaper and more hon. est insurance by choosing their own managers to be part of the state ad- ministration than under the system over which they have no control

He spoke of wonderfully good results In the mission fields at Corea, but urged the necessity of more men and women to further work.

FIRE AT FAIRH0PE
WILLIAM SIMPSONS. FLAMING
 MILL IS DESTROYED.
Business District of Eastern Shore Town Was Threatened-Ah G Ready for Opening of Mo-
 bfle's Depot.

Mobile, April 14.-(Special.) )-The blaming mill operated by William Simpson at Fairhope was totally de- stroyed by fire Friday night and but for heroic work and favorable wind probably the whole of the business dis trict of the little colony would have suffered great damage.
 The mill was located within one block of the town and when the fire broke out all hands turned their at- tention to keeping the fire from spreading to the stores only a short distance away. When the fire first started hard wind was blowing from the east which caused the flames to spread rapidly toward the business district. The wind changed, however, after an hours fighting and the flames were confined to the mill which will be n total loss.
 The mill was owned by the Fairhope Improvement Company of which Jo- seph Fels is the largest stockholder.

 The Sayre Mining and Manufactur- ing Company. which concern recently held its annual meeting in Birming- ham, will shortly let contracts tor the erection of a number of additional roke ovens in the vicinity of their mines in the extreme western part of Jefferson County. The manufacture of coke Is very profitable and this com pany has been operating successfully s.nce its organization. The better DOT ton of the stock in sne company is owned by Pennsylvania parties, the same people who came to the Birn1ing- ham district years ago and built the furnace town of Thomas. between Bir- mingham and Pratt City, selling the property just few years since to the Republic Iron and Steel Company, re- ceiving a handsome profit thereon.
 All the railroads running to the coal fields are adding to their equipment to handle the increased coal output and the prospects are exceedingly bright in both coal and coke.
