SALARIES
Editor of rhe Advertiser:

Editor of The Advertiser:
 Tn your issue of Thursday, January q. your Mobile correspondent makes the following statement:
 'sThe first effects of the statutory prohibition bill were evident to-day when the school board met and an- nounced a reduction in salaries Of more than one-hundred of the teachers in the Mobile public schools.
 ''This step was recommended in the report of the superintendent and without any discussion the action was that the Board would have to matert- aIlv reduce in every way to recoup for thX loss that will be sustained shortly"
 The recommendation of the superin- tendent, referred to by your correspon- dent. is as follows:
 sIn view of the fact that 1t will be necessary to curtail expenses in order to meet the condition of your finances the next session, I respectfully sug- 0est that the term of your country summer schools, mostly colored schools. be shortened one month, that IS. a three months school Instead of four, ana that some reduction be made in inc salaries of these teachers. By this means you could save considerable money. Only three white schools would be affected by this arrange
 My information is t6at the school commissioners did not act on this re- enrarnAndation but referred 1t to@ a

Car struck Buggy.
 Mlttie E. Chastain and sarah A. De- honey both filed damage suits against the Montgomery Traction Company yesterday. Both cases grew out of the alleged injury of both women while they were riding together in a buggy on Madison avenue last October
 Sarah A. Dehoney sues for s25.e00 damages, claiming that amount will cover the loss entailed by the accident. She ayers that through the negligence of the agents of the company that a car running at 6 fast rate struck a buggy in which she was. The vehicle was overturned and she received in- juries to her left limb that finally re- suited in its amputation between the knee and ankle. She claims that she was otherwise injured and that she spent &1 ,000 to physicians immediately after the accident.
 Mittie E. chastain was not so badly injured and sues for $15.000. Tn her petition she makes the same allega- ton regarding the negligence of the man in charge of the car. She says that she was internally injured and that she will probably never recover from the nervous shock. The case will not come until in the April term of the City Court.

courts of this State having proper ju- rssdictfon. shall give this In charge to the grand Juries of their respective courts. The effect of conducting this as characterized Mfr. Hoods efforts will be c warning to those who are in- clined to incendiarism. and the Depart ment desires that it be understood that in all cases where there are suspicious circumstances. sufiicient to justify such procedure. 1t will. in the interest of portecting the peoples property, and the insurance companies. and m an endeavor to locate guilty parties in such cases, cooperate with the sher- iffs. police authorities and other guar dians of life and property in every way possible insofar as such action may be authorized by law.
 "The purpose of the law as found In Sections 260s. .2e0s, 2s10 and 2s11 is to secure quick action in the matter of Investigating the causes of fires where there appear to be suspicious circum- stances, as in many instances grand juries are not fin session at times of such fires. and delay until the regular meetings of such bodies would perhaps be too late to effect the good that might be accomplished under the au- thority vested in the Insurance De- partment It Is hoped that shertn and police authorities everywhere in the State win familiarize themselves with the sections Of the code referred to to the end that better conditions may ob- tain with reference to fire protection. and in the interest of keeping at minimum the destruction wrought by criminals of the incendiary class. There have beeh too many fires in certain localities for either natural or unnatural causes to excuse. and through. cooperation of all parties in- terested and concerned in precaution- ary measures and having due regard for projections that protects, large percentage of reduction--in fire losses will be shown.
 "The penalty for burning an insured house or property Is as follows:

REWARD FOR

 Statement. Believes That the Investisatien wni Discourage other Incendisries from Nefsrious work In All
 Parts ss Alabama.
SHAMROCK FIRE SUSPICIOUS

The State Department of Insurance has given out an interview upon the findings of the special jury appointed to investigate the causes of the fire which destroyed the Shamrock Saloon, owned by Alderman James J. Sullivan, on the night of December 80, 1907.
 The Department commends the Sher- if, Hon. Horace Hood, for his prompt and effective behavior in affording the investigation. and the commission, composed of W. B. Jones, c. A. Lanier and. A. D. Brown. for its thorough work. @
 At the same time 1t was announced by P. B. Reed, an insurance adjuster for the Rochester German and Nation af Fire Insurance Companies. that the National Association of Underwriters has offered a reward of s250 for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons guilty of the incendiarism. Mir. Reed said yesterday that the associe- ton would probably utilise other re- sources than the reward for the de- tection and conviction of the guilty persons, who might suffer as maxi imun of punishment, Imprisonment for a year and the imposition of a fine of sl.o00.
 The Department of Insurance gave out the following interview relating to the official investigation of '@The Fire
 
 Referring to the report submitted to Hon. Horace Hood. sheriff of Mont gomery County, the investigation of the fire damaging the goods and fix- lures of the shamrock" Saloon and grocery store of J. J. Sullivan. on the night of December 30, 1907, the De- pertinent has fully considered same, and from the able manner in which the investigation was conducted by Sheriff Hood, 1t Is felt that much good will re- suit in the direction ofA discouraging incendiarism over the State.
 eThe Department desires to especiel- iy commend the Sheriff for the prompt ness, enterprise and skill displayed, the high personnel of the jury se- lected, consisting as it did of f-some of the very best men of the city, and for the result obtained.
 While the investigation. thorough as it was. did not develop sufficient damage by said fire upon any particu- lar person or persons, 1t is clearly shown that the work was that of an ineendiary. The jury was unable to determine whether the object of the party or parties perpetrating the incen- diarism was to conceal burglary com mitted in the store or the collection of insurance money. The grand jury. at its next meeting here will be requested to go into the matter under Section 2e12 of the Code. which provides that Tnquisitorial power shall be, and the same is hereby given the grand Juries of this state. to inquire into any vio- lation of this article and present or indict such person or persons violat- ing the same, and the judges of the

committee. am also informed that the statutory prohibition bill passed by the legislature had nothing to do with this recommendation of the sup erintendent and that such recommen- dation would in all probability nave been made by the superintendent h no such bill had passed the legislature.
 Observe that only country summer schools will be affected if the recom- mendation of the superintendent IS adopted. and among these there are only three white schools that would he affected at all. Where your cor respondent got his information that one hundred teachers had had their salaries reduced do not know. There are only about thirty country, summer schools that will be anected if the recommendation Is adopted. My statements are made on information given me by those in authority.

Catarrh Is Durable Successful Experiments in Ahatinu
 and curinu this Disease.

Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary disease and should not be tolerated for a single day now that Hyomei is so generally known and has made so many cures In Montgomery and other towns.
 Modern science has disproved the old theory that catarrh was blood disease. It is a germ trouble, and the remedy Is Hyomei, which medicates the air you breathe, killing all catarrhal germs.
 As there is life and health in the air of the pine forests. filled with fragrant and healing balsams. so there is life and health in breathing Hyomei.
 So sure Is this prescription to cure even the worst cases of catarrh, that E. c. Fowler sells 1t under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if 1t does not do all that is claimed for 1t.

 If pr. Cox will watch the proceedings of the Mobile school board meetings in the next few months he will see that numerous expenditures of the past to support the school system will he cur tailed, owing to the coming prohibition.
