FIGHT IN COURT.
Quincy Smith and R. L. Leatherwood
 Fined by Judge Feagin.

Assistant City Attorney J. Q. Smith and Attorney Robert l.. Leatherwood had 6 mix-up in the police court yesterday. The affair was caused by remarks made during the trial of the case of Haywood Gadsden, a negro, for the larceny of a coat. Only one blow was struck, after which the two men were separated
 It seems from all accounts that Attor- ney Leatherwood made some remark dur ing the course of his argument at which MT. Smith took offense, and that the latter told MT. Leatherwood if he made such remarks he would slap his face" It is stated that MT. Leatherwood told MT. Smith to go ahead and that the assistant city attorney accepted the il- vitation and slapped the counsel for the defense. At this point officers in the court room separated the two men and Judge Feagin finished the affair by i'm posing. a fine of. s5 upon each of the two lawyers for contempt of the court.

Further objection to the removal of the circle at Five Points is heard. The fol- lowing was received yesterday from Mrs. w. s. Lowell who has always shown great interest in the artistic improve ment of Birmingham
 For some reason there seems to be a determined movement on foot to re- move the circle at Five Points, one of the few spaces left where any beautifying of the city may be done. While at present it is an eyesore, owing to the fact that people have been allowed to walk across it, leaving a bald lop-sided track, and it seems to be chiefly used as loafing place for negroes and a receptacle for waste paper, there is no reason in the world why, with a little care, it could not be made an attractive spot. low iron rail surrounding it would prevent the walking, and signs would keep both loaf CTS and papers off the grass. With nota- ing more than well kept grass it makes a pretty spot and with the addition of flowers it would be most attractive. only A small outlay would be needed for thls, and the generous offer of the Five Fonts

HOUSTON INSISTS TAXES MUST BE PAID Says BesSemer Residents Are Getting loo Far Behind WILL RENEW CAMPAIGN Opinion Prevails in Bessemer That Furnaces Will Resume Opera

 sona and General.
WILL RENEW CAMPAIGN

Bessemer, May 29.-(Special.) 1.-The street taxes are due and have been due since January 10 Tax Collector J. B. Houston is very much put out about the amount of collections up to date. He stated this evening: Some people seem to be under the impression that they should be im- mune from paying street tax. AS a mat ter of fact the city of Bessemer should collect about S3500 per year for street taxes, and up to date the city has col lected about s1250, and it is the merry month of May. I am going after them from now on and any man who has a job that refuses to pay will be served with a warrant, and it will then be seen whether anything can be done with him or not.
 'The matter of licenses will also receive considerable attention from now on. They have simply got to pay. If they do not pay there is going to be something doing, and it is going to be doing very soon. The merchants every one of them, have had two chances to pay their licenses for this year, and in a good many in- stances a good many of them have failed to come across with the other half. The last half of the license was due on April 1 and it has now been due for two months"

DOWElL RETAINED.
East Lake Board of Education Wants
 Him To Remain in Charqe.

At a meeting of the East Lake Board of Education Thursday night it was de- cided to retain Prof. Spright Dowell in his present position of superintendent of the East Lake Public schools Recently the trustees of Howard college elected Pro- lessor Dowell to the chair of mathe- matics and head of the academic depart ment. However, his election was made conditional upon his securing his release from his present position, which he has failed to do.
 One year ago Professor Dowell was chose as superintendent of school for a period of two years. He appeared before the board Thursday night and made the statement that he was willing to complete his term. As his work thus far has been highly commended and as the East Lake schools will next year be absorbed by the Greater Birmingham school system, the board thought best to retain him. The meeting was presided over by Mayor w. J. Martin. The following members were present: W. E. Hit, N. A. Barrett, J. w. Hargrove and R. B. Holtam.

Thinus Look Better.

The opinion appears to prevail in Bes- semer at the present time that business in all lines is picking up. The news re- ceived in Bessemer this afternoon that the Alice furnace in Birmingham would open up in few days at the outside has made a decided impression here, and it has been taken to mean that things gen. orally will pick up in this section. It has also been rumored around Bessemer within the past day or two that the fur naces here would more than likely re- sume operations ere very long. Of course these reports are always going around, and for that reason there is nothing cer- tain about them, still the impression pre- vails that the different industries will open up in a short while, and for that reason almost every one has taken on new hope.

P|G IRON MARKET
 CONTINUES ACTIVE Price to Harden at Fifty Gents
 Advance A. LARGE TONNAGE IN MAY Tennessee Company Starting Up It's Alice Furnace and It Is Believed
 Other Furnaces at Besse-
 ner Will Resume Soon.
A. LARGE TONNAGE IN MAY

Activity in the pig iron market con tinues. The price is now SIP on No. 3 basis. instead of $11.50 While it has not hardened at the advance, the in dications are it will do so within the next two or three days. The Republic Iron and Steel company is holding it's iron at s1250.
 Northern as well as southern fur naces are selling a good deal of iron. The northern differential seems to be shade under the Birmingham basis.
 Alabama pig Is being taken largely in the Chicago district the St. Louis district and the south. Little seems to be going to eastern consumers.
 The Tennessee company has ordered that its Alice furnace in Birmingham be put in blast on basic iron. Work preliminary to starting up this stack is being hurried and the furnace will be running pig metal within the next 10 days. While 1t is not officially an- nounced it is understood that one or more of the Tennessee eompany's idle furnaces at Bessemer will be blown in on foundry iron about the middle of June.
 Matthew, Addy & Co.'s Cincinnati re- port for the current week follows:
 May began we'll but is ending bet ter. The month has completely changed the pig iron situation. When it began furnace order books were empty, but they are well filled now. The buying movement gained force as lt went along until the week just closing has made the best record of the year so far. The tonnage placed has been exceedingly heavy and the best feature of 1t Is that the buying has been scat tered. All kinds of iron have been bought and all kinds of consumers have covered their wants. Some con. siderable iron has been bought for de. livery all through the year, but the bulk of it has been for shipment not beyond the third quarter.
 Those who argued that low prices would start buying have seen their argument signally justified. The low est prices have been made in the south and the southern furnaces have had such an old-time boom in selling that they are now easy. They see their product for the next four months pro- vided for and the necessity for any lower prices is not only at an end, but No. has been put up from $11.5O f. O. b. Birmingham to SIP. Offers for thousands of tons at the old price have been declined.
 Northern iron has sold in fair volume and the prospects are that it will keep on moving for the market is full of inquiries and the buying movement shows no signs of being at an end.
 From what We can make out May. 1908, will go down in the history oe the trade as a month marked by sales of the largest kind. There has beea the regular systematic buying which in the aggregate amounts to very large figures The south now is in a position to safely maintain an advance in prices
 To sum up, the pig iron market is exceedingly active and the situation is full of promise. The norths buying. has shown that the iron trade is in no danger of drying up.

ESCAPE FROM PERIL.
Presence of Mind Prevents Panic in a
 Theatre.


 New Orleans, May 29.-Seceral hundred women and children were in the Shubert theatre tonight witnessing moving pie ture exhibition when fire broke out in q fve-story building separated from the theatre by an arcade passageway. Ths theatre exits were quietly opened and the announcer, pausing in the midst of dn explanation of a picture then on the canvas, requested the audience to leave. saying there was fire few doors away. The music then struck up and the pie lures proceeded. Meanwhile the big crowd passed under the arcade above which the flames already were bursting. most of them chatting carelessly and not realizing there was a, fire almost over their heads until they had reached safety in the street.

 REMOVING GRASS CIRCLE

fire department to keep 1t up could he accepted.
 "It is the desire of the Birmingham Art association to erect there in time statue to General Lee, but if the circle is given up and the street car tracks run across the space it would be an utter impossibility even to secure the site again.
 Would it not be better then to spend little in caring for the circle now, with the end in view of making it thing of beauty?'
 pr. John s. Gilespy, an adjacent resi- dent, does not like the idea of giving np the spot to be used as a part of the street. When asked last night if he op- posed it's removal Dr. Gillespy said: ''l do not hold the idea of doing away with the circle in favor. While the little spot is by no means a thing of beauty at the present time it can be made such and should be improved. Besides, l believe that it is a place of refuge and a pro- lection to life. It does not seem to me that it would be a good idea to remove the circle"
