cent by Mr.. Tawney, chairman of the
committee Oh appropriations, for hav.
ing, as Mr.. Tawney charged, appointed
the inland waterways commission

was on the urgent deficiency bill and

MINERS TRY TO
 EXTEND FORCES
Efforts Yesterday Seem to Have Cen tered Around BIossburg-SeveraI
 Mines Closed Down.

The commercial operators shut down their mines on July l are usual, and t was announced last week that most of these mines would remain shut down for repairs until the middle of the month or later. All but two of the commercial companies have declined to sign the wage scale demanded by the United Mine Workers, and it is their announced purpose to operate hereafter on the "open shop" plan, just as the furnace companies have been operating since 1904.
 The United Mine Workers are mak- ing an effort to organize in5the camps of the furnace operators. Their eff forts yesterday seem to have been con centrated at Blossburg. Officials of the companies say their miners have man. ifested satisfaction with the open shop system. and they expect a continuance of peaceful conditions. Certain mines around Blossburg were shut down yes terday because, as officials of various companies pointed out, other mines were furnishing them with all the coal they needed at this time.
 The commercial coal trade is very dull and several of the commercial op- orators state that their mines will be idle all this month, regardless of the wage question.

Taft, republican candidate for the presi- dency, today distinguished himself on the diamond when a. game of baseball was played between the statesmen sojourning here to confer with him on sundry mat paign and the newspaper men who are endeavoring to keep the public informed on the candidates daily actions.
 The game was the result of the activity of Senator Murray Crane who has had long conferences with the republican can- didate while here. MT. Crane had no sooner finished his breakfast today than he began planning for a contest of skill between the statesmen and the corre- spondents

LINE UPS" ARE NOT POPULAR FEATURES
CANDIDATES WANT IT DISTINCT " UNDERSTOOD THAT THEY
 ARE RUNNING INDEPENDENTLY AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO so.

Line ups'' are not palatable to the candidates in the primary which is now before the people of Birmingham. Every man wants it understood that he is run ming by himself Every man claims that he will poll some of everybody else s friends.
 Especially is this true In the four handed race for police commissioner. While 1t to all outward appearances seems to be fight between the ins and the outs, they do not relish that kind of an alignment.
 Of course the record of the ins is an issue which cannot be overlooked. They are called upon to justify their actions while in office. including the discharge of Chief Wier, the election of Bodeker, their stand as given in statement to the public on the enforcement of anti gambling laws, and the general conduct of the depa -tment. Many claim taht the department is run in better system than ever before.
 In yesterdays issue of The Age-Herald it was stated in connection with the an- nouncement of F. B. Yielding for police
 
 commissioner that Tt is a hand-down fight between Wier Seals and Yielding on the one side and Bodeker, Copeland and Parker on the other"
 When seen yesterday MT. Yielding and MT. Seals stated that they are not aligned with any candidate whatsoever, but ara running for the police commission upon the platform of enforcing the laws as they stand" and that they will cooper ate with whoever the people elect chief of police to the best of their ability.
 Meantime the registration is going on at all the polling places. Every man in Birmingham will have to register if he expects to vote and while they are coming in slowly it is expected that a big list will be registered by next Satur- day night, when the books close.

WEST END FIRE
 STARTS TALK
Need For Some Sort of Equipment is Pointed Out as Being
 Very Urgent.

West End had another illustration yes terday of the extreme need of some kind of fire protection in that town, when tho building occupied by the West End Drug company, on Cotton avenue, caught fire. The fire started in the roof and the blaze was discovered before it had made much headway.
 It happens that the particular neighbor- hood in which this store is located Is one of the liveliest spots in West End, and the fact that there were a number Of men and boys in the neighborhood at the time was the only thing which prevented a bad fire These men and boys imne- diately started fighting the flames in the same manner that people in a backwoods settlement have to fight one, owing to the fact that there is not even a hose plug in the town.
 Before the flames were finally extin- guished the roof had been badly burned, though the loss will not be very heavy. It required heroic efforts to keep the fire from spreading to the adjoining build ings, which are only separated from the drug store by few feet. The entire square is closely built up and had the fire gotten any kind of headway there would have been nothing for the crowd to do except try to save the furniture in the houses.
 West End has been visited number of times by the fire demon during the past few months, and only luck prevented a big fire in each instance. In nearly every case the building which caught on fire burned completely to the ground, not withstanding that each fire was discov- cred when it was but small blaze. The citizens of that town have talked of or ganizing fire department, but the mat ter was allowed to drop. The fire yes- terday caused a renewal of this talk.

Tobacco and Hard Times.

Contrary to the popular opinion, l
find that the tobacco business suf-
fers just the same as any other during
financial crisis" said j. F. Dono-
van, tobacco merchant, yesterday.
MANY people have said lately that
all merchants except those dealing
in tobacco have been affected by the
money stringency. 1 know that my
business has fallen off considerably,
especially the cigar business. The
idea that a man will quit his liquor
before he does his tobacco is not
entirely true. l know that many low
salaried men have cut out their cigars
in the last several weeks, and are
devoting their energies to the pipe.
Twenty years ago one scarcely saw a
man on the street with pipe in his
mouth, but now a good pipe is just
as proper on the streets as a cigar. -

MORE NIGHT RIDING
In Christian County Last
Saturday Night.
MAN WHIPPED, HOUSE SHOT UP
Much 0utlawry-Raids Are
Almost of Nightly
Occurrence.

Hopkinsville, Ky, Jan. 26.-Night
riders visited the northern part of
this county Saturday night, shot up
a residence, whipped one man and tried
to shoot his son. 1t is suspected that
further acts OF violence were commit
ted, but raiders cut telephone wires
and there IS at present no way to
communicate with that part of the
county.
Sheriff David Smith received to-day
brief account of the outrage from a
member of the family of Press Rodg-
ers, a prominent farmer, who was one
of the night riders victims.
About twenty-five men, all of whom
were disguised or masked and heavily
armed, went to the Rodgers farm and
fired a volley of bullets into the
house and yelled for Mr.. Rodgers and
his son to come to them. The old far
mer obeyed, but the younger man slip
ping through a rear door, fled for
safety. He was seen running and an
effort was made to shoot him, but he
escaped and remained hidden until
the riders left the farm.
Press Rodgers was severely whipped
with a buggy whip by the gang and
then allowed to go back to his home.
Rodgers is a member of the assocla-
ton, but was accused by the night rid
ers with violating his pledge and sell
ing his crop of tobacco to a trust"
house in Hopllinsville.
Reports arr received that while a
portion of the masked band was whip
ping Rodgers, the main body of be-
tween seventy-five and one hundred
horsemen was operating in the vicini-
ty of Era, where it is believed other
depredations were committed, owing to
threats that had been received by
persons there
Raids in this section are almost of
nightly occurrence. The burning Of
James D. Coleman's big tobacco barn,
the whipping of Harp Menser, the in
vasion of Dawson Springs and whip
ping of Press Rodgers are the prin-
cipal crimes of the last few days.
