The Advertiser Is in receipt of the following letter from J. F. Van Rens- selaer. General Agent Southern Pacific
 Atlanta. Ga. May 6. 1908.
 As a protection to the public and as- sistance in the endeavor to capture a man claimed to be L. Graham, who purports to represent the Southern Pacific Immigration Company" at Shumla, Texas. I am asking your CO., operation. by publishing the facts of these frauds perpetrated by him on several people in the Southeastern States.
 In the first place, there is no such thing as the Southern Pacific Immi- grafton Company" although this man uses that name. I have a copy of one signed by him under date of March IS. 1908. on which he collected money. and other instances for the past sever al months have been called to our att tention where other people have been defrauded, and a special reward of $50 has been offered for his capture. The matter has been presented before all the important Chiefs of Police in the Southeastern States. who have stated they would do all they could in this di- rection.
 This man is 6 it. 2 in. tall. weighs about 200 pounds. dark hair and fair complexion, and conveys signs of be- ing both a Mason and odd Fellow. He also has several recommendations from several banks in Texas, which have caused a good many people to be- lieve in his operation.
 He has lately been operating, the last date located being April Is in Louisiana having left Oak Ridge. on that date on a southbound freight train several parties on that date having pulled him from the train and made him give up their money.
 We are fully able to support our con tention of the above information, and will be responsible for the information so conveyed by you In the columns of the press.
 Our particular desire, as we'll as heinz glad to assist in the arrest of this persons. is to deny that the South ern Pacific Company has any connect ion with this matter. which this land fraud reflects on it.
 The only authorized Agent for the sale of Lands in Texas Is Colonel c. c. Gibbs, General Land Agent. San An tonic. Texas.
 If you will copy this letter in one of your issues. 1t will no doubt help eventually in locating this man. and protect a good many people who would otherwise take stock in his represents tions
 Thanking you, am.
 Yours very truly.

FIRE OPPOSITE HOSPITAL.

One Story Frame House Occupied by Ne
 RrOes ls Burned to the Ground.
 Fire last night about 11;15 o'clod partially destroyed a one-story fram house at the corner of Adams Avenu and Ripley Street. How the fire o.ia mated is not known. Passers-by dis covered the blaze only when the whoi roof was well ignited and the doom ( the house sealed.
 The alarm was sent to headquarters by telephone. and the companies froI the Madison Avenue and Scott, Stree stations responded immediately. Al irving on the scene little could be dor beyond the saving of few househol effects of the negro family that occr pied the dwelling. and confning tn flames to the residence. There wa some slight danger of the fire spreac ing to the adjoining house. which occupied by a small store. but luckil the wind had died down and there wei but few sparks.
 It was impossible to find out tt owner of the burned property la night. or to get an estimate of th damage It is thought. however. thu $500 will more than cover any possibl loss.

BOOK MEN ARE
 WATCHING COMMISSION
Anxiety over Book AdOptions for State
 Schools.

The approaching meeting of the Ala bama Book Commission for the pur- pose of selecting text books for the public schools of the State for the next four years is creating great anxiety among the publishers of text books throughout the country.
 The Commission does not meet till June 8 to award the book contracts but a number of rival publishers al- ready have their representatives on the ground keeping tab on the situa- tion. The rule that prohibits the rep resentatives of book publishers from approaching members of the Commits sion for the purpose of presenting the merits of their publications in person has considerably disconcerted the agents of the rival concerns who are seeking the Alabama contracts
 Some of the publishers have submit- ted to. the Book Comn.ission copies of their books with strong briefs bearing on their desirability and superiority.
 The members of the Commission are giving careful consideration to the books submitted by different firms and the claims made for them and when the time comes to award the contracts they will be thoroughly familiar with the character and merits of them all
