 The fracas really had its start at Royal and Dauphin Streets where Joseph Williamson Is alleged to have struck D. H. Pritchard because the lat ter told him he did not want men of his kind in his place.

 and when 1t came to Alexander's turn he gave an address which Williamson disputed. Asked by Williamson wheth- CT went north or south on the street mentioned, Alexander said 1t was not material to him (Williamson.)N
 Alexander struck him. There were a number of friends of both men pres ent ana the speCtdcle oA nshtlhS crowd in the police station was im- minent.
 Detectives Murphy and Lacey, assist ed by other policemen. jumped be- tween the beligerents and the fighting was soon over.
 Williamson Is docketed for disorder ly conduct and resisting an officer. Alexander and Pritchard were held for dlsorderly conduct. All gave ball for their appearance Monday morning.

FIRE AT PINE HILL
SAW MILL DAMAGED AND HOTEL,
 BURNED.
Broke Out in Early Mornssx ana sre,t Away Property--Los. May Reach As High As
 S2S,OOO

Selma. Aug. 2s--(Special. ,-The n,s ct of the vredenburgh Saw Mil Comna m at Pine Hill. fifty miles south of Selma was badly damaged by fire this morn- ing.
 The mill is one of the largest on tha Southern Railway between Selma and Mobile. and 1t is thought here that tbe loss will be considerable.
 The Pine Hill Hotel, A two story frame structure, close to the saw min Is also reported to have been destroyed by the Ire.
 From particulars obtainable here of the fire it seems that the blaze started in one of the dry kllns of the yreden- burKh Saw NH Company this morning between and 9 o'clock. From the dry kiins the flames spread to the saw mill and thence to the hotel. For a while the entire plant of the vreden- burgh Saw Mill Company was thought to be in danger. buS all of the people of the place worked hard and the flames were finally checked.
 At the time of the irS there was in the dry Kiln many thousand feet of, lumber. the most of which was burned up. There was also considerable lun- Der in the saw mill building which was also destroyed, The machinery in the saw mill is said not to have been dam aged to any great extent by the fire.
 The southern Railway passenger train from Mobile passed Pine Hl,i just after the fire had been checked and con fined to the dry kiln and the saw mills.
 A number of cars of lumber which were on a side track close to the mill and which were in dagger of catching on fire. were switched out of danger by the passenger train.
 While the extent of the damage to the plant is not known. 1t was said by passengers on the Southern train that the loss of the Vredenburgh Saw Mill Company was figured at from s1s.oO0 to s25.000. and that 1t might go even beyond those figures.
 The Pine Hill Hotel was estimated to be worth about s2.ooo. Both the saw mil! plant and the hotel are cover- ed by insurance.

Hearst News Service.

Denison, Tex, November 5.-Distin-
guished advocates of the Red River
navigation project assembled in Deni-
son today for the convention of the Red
River Improvement Association Plans
will be considered for restoring navi-
CATION on the upper part of the river.
Such project would be of inestimable
value to the shippers of northern
Louisiana and Texas, since it would al
most certainly result in a great reduc-
tion in freight rates. Delegates will
probably be appointed to attend the
National Rivers and Harbors Congress
in Washington next month, as the rep
resentatives of the association.
The program provides for a session
of two days, the list of speakers in
clude Governor Blanchard of Louisi-
ana, Congressman Ransdell, an author
ity on waterways, and many other dis
tinguished men of Texas, Louisiana,
Oklahoma and Arkansas.

DEBS HAS
BIRTHDAY
Socialist Candidate Receives Con-
gratulations On Large Vote
Which He Polled.

Terre Haute, Ind. November g
After the most remarkable political
campaign tour in history, Eugene "
Debs, Socialist candidate for presi-
dent in the contest just closed, is to-
day resting from his labors and cele-
brating the 53rd anniversary of his
birth. Although reports from the
election have been confined principal
ly to the returns of the major parties
and it is yet too early to definitely
compile the Socialist vote, there is
every indication that it has been ex-
traordinarily large throughout the
country. Mr.. Debs is constantly re-
ceiving reports from comrades" all
over the land, and one and all are
enthusiastic and confident of showing
great gains, If the Socialist party
has surpassed all past records, the
recent trip of Debs in the red spe-
cial," in which he covered 10000
miles and made more than 500
speeches has probably been largely
responsible.
