APPROVED
 BY COMMERCIAL CLUB

introduced by Col T. O. Smith, as fol- lows:
 Resolved, That by their services dur ing the unhappy disturbances in the min ing regions of the state, our National Guard has again illustrated that fidelity to duty and high patriotism which ami mate it's individual members. As citi- zens we have looked on with confidence in their courage and discipline, and with genuine pride have noted the unwearied patience in the presence of privation and their unfailing lmpartiality in the pres enee of conflicting interests. Our Ma tional Guard, made up of young Ala bamians of intelligence and character, has always and in every instance proven equal to those emergencies when obedience to law falls back on force. We are grate- ful for their presence here, are filled with admiration of their conduct, and have unquestioning faith in their readiness and their ability to impartially protect the constitution and laws from whomsoever the attack may come"
 C. W. Thatcher, the road apostle, was introduced to the club. and made a fiery talk, calling upon the business men to join in the movement to build a national and was loudly eheered A vote of thanks was extended to him and the cooperation of the club promised in his efforts.

ARKANSAS ROADS
 MAKING NO MONEY

Little Rock, Ark, August 26.-In defense of the action of the railroads operating in Arkansas in bringing an injunction suit against the Arkansas railroad con- mission to enjoin the commission from enforcing certain rates and also test the validity of the act creating the commits sion, T. S. Busbee, general attorney for the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad here today declared that his road had been losing money in Arkansas. He displayed affidavits showing that the road during the six months ending December 3l lost s97, .56 on freight business alone
 Concerning passenger traffic he said:
 Our interstate passenger business for the same six months amounted to $2S6 018 and our operating expenses for this de- partment reached $252, ,939. When our taxes, amounting to O447, are added to operat- ing expenses, it leaves us a profit of $22, 623. True, this is some profit, but how much does 1t amount to when we are as- sessed S13,000,000. It does not amount to one-half of l per cent"

GREAT DAMAGE DONE.
Farmers and Merchants Suffer Loss
 Through the Floods.

Danville. Va, August 26.-The recent sainstorms have caused thousands of dollars of damage in this section Wash outs have played havoc with Southern railway schedules, all trains running many hours behind time, while some are indefinitely delayed. Dan river is over ten feet above its normal height, the flood causing suspension of operations in practically two-thirds of the River side cotton mills. Farmers have suf- fered heavy loss, tobacco in low grounds being almost drowned while the rain beat and bruised the leaves in other sections.
 A report received tonight from Milton, N C., which has not been verified, says that the large iron bridge across Dan river owned by d syndicate has been washed away. Communication with Mil ton Is cut off.

Iron Ages Review.

New York, August 26.-The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 In the Birmingham district, in Virginia, in eastern Pennsylvania and in the Chi cago district, producers of pig iron are maintaining a firm attitude, and are book ing some business at better prices. In the central west in the Pittsburg district, and Southern Ohio, the attitude of mak- CTS is more uncertain. Statistics covering 43 blast furnaces in eastern and central Pennsylvania and in Virginia show de- cline in stocks of close to 15,0OO tons, and an increase during one month in orders from close to 23S,000 tons to over 2S5,OOO tons
 There has been considerable movement in pig iron in the east during the past week and there is quite a large tn- quiry. The Pennsylvania railroad has bought an aggregate of 10,5OO tons of pig iron.
 There is some reference made from time to time on the subject of shading estab- lished prices. It is true that such conces- sions are being quite widely made. but they do not extend beyond $1 or $2 per ton and are not regarded as troublesome.
 In the light rail trade in which the re- rolling mills play so important part, the situation Is more serious and the large steel mills are taking a hand in the struggle
 New rails weighing from 20 to 45 pounds have been sold as low as $22 per ton. The placing of an order for 1000 standard steel cars by the Chicago and Alton railroad. which will call for 9000 tons of steel is regarded as the forerunner of more lib eral buying in this direction. The Har- riman system has given to the American Bridge company 4000 tons of additional specifications on an existing contract.
 Low prices continue to rule in the cast iron pipe trade. Some steel bar-makers report good run of additional work. The sheet trade is steadily improving, and the business in merchant pipe Is en- larPinP

F. A. DILWORTH, JR.,
 DIES OF FEVER
Assistant Manager of Sales Department of Tennessee Company Leaves
 Wide Circle of Friends.

Birmingham lost another able young business man when F. A. Dilworth, Jr., passed away at St. Vincents hospital late Tuesday night after suffering in tensely for nearly three weeks from an attack of typhoid fever
 The deceased was assistant general manager of sales for the Tennessee com pany having come to Birmingham at the time of the absorption of the Ten nessee company by the United States Steel corporation. His headquarters were in the Woodward building, while he re- sided at the Hotel Hillman.
 He was taken ill nearly three weeks ago. but his condition was not regarded as serious until last week and he was removed to the hospital on last Thurs day. He rapidly grew worse and mem bers of his, family were telegraphed for his mother and sister arriving in Birming ham Monday night. Despite all that the physicians could do, however, his life continued to ebb away and death came at 10.15 o'clock Tuesday night.
 His remains were removed to the par lors of the Green Undertaking company where they were prepared for burial and held there until last night when they were sent to Pittsburg at 9:33 o'clock. The remains were accompanied by his mother, sister and r. A. Burr general manager of sales for the Tennessee com pany.
 Pittsburg was the home of the deceased and his parents and other members of his family still reside there. He was born there little over 35 years ago, and his family is one of the most prominent in that section.
 Practically all of the deceased's busi- ness life was spent in connection with the Carnegie Steel interests. He was with the Carnegie Steel company at Pittsburg, Boston and New York, and in 1906 went to Atlanta as the representative of the Carnegie Steel company and the lll- nois Steel company, and came to Bir- mingham about the first of the year. While he had been here but a short while at the time of his death he leaves behind a wide circle of sorrowing friends whom he had made here.

POLICE FINDING
 PISTOLS TANNED
ARRESTS WILL PROBABLY BE MADE, AS THE DEFENSE IS SAID TO BE A VIOLATION OF THE JOHN PISTOL LAW.

It has been reported at police headquar- ters that number Of pistols are being pawned daily in Birmingham. Accord- ing to the provisions of the John 24-inch pistol law this is a violation of the state statute, and the police authorities, it is understood. will look into the matter and make arrests where it is found that re- ports are true.
 The pawnbrokers of the city are sup posed to render a complete list to the po- lice of the articles pawned each day, and in this manner If the reports are accurate the matter of which complaint has been made can be kept up with easily.
 A day or two ago one of the lists ren- dered by a pawnbroker showed that two pistols had been pawned. The attention of the police was attracted by the fact, and 1t is understood that they will get in behind the matter at once.

 In All Departments.
RAILROADS IN THE MARK [

Cleveland O.. August 26-fSpecial )-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say
 Orders for lake vessels and freight cars which will require about 25,O0O tons of plates and shapes. negotiations pending for 10 or F other lake vessels and num- erous inquiries for cars have greatly inn proved the tone of the finished material market
 In addition to the large orders placed, specifications on nearly all finished prod ucts are coming fin satisfactorily The or der for two lake vessels. foreshadowed last week, has been placed by the Pitts burg Steamship company, which is the vessel department of the United States Steel corporation, with the American Shipbuilding company, each vessel re- auiring about 5000 tons of steel. The plates will be rolled at the Homestead plant of the Carnegie Steel, company The ordering of lake vessels during a season of great depression in lake traffic indi- cates confidence that years of activity will be followed by years of great pros perity.
 The Chicago and Alton railroad has or dered 1000 cars to be built by the Standard Steel Car company of Pittsburg at it's Hammond, Ind, plant. The plates will be rolled by the Illinois Steel company. The Atlantic Coast Line has ordered 500 cars from the South Baltimore Steel Car and Foundry company and the Hartman lines have awarded a contract for 10000 tons of structural material
 It is expected that other western roads will contract for between 40,00O and 5o,000 tons at an early date. A few inquiries for standard section steel rails are pend ing from electric lines, but no important orders from either electric or steam rail- roads are reported. It is probable that books will soon be opened for orders for 1909
 Pig iron is dull in nearly all sections except the east, where there is a fair demand.

 ARE SUPPORTED Fire Cuts or Air From The
 Working Shafts 25 BODIES ARE RECOVERED After Miners Had Gone Down Flames From Burning Barrel of Oil Fill Air Shaft and Cut of All
 Air and Hope.
25 BODIES ARE RECOVERED

MeAlester, Ok, August 26.-More than 30 miners were suGocated this morning in Hailey-Ola coal mine No. 1 at Haileyville, IA miles east of MeAlester, when fire de stroyed the hoisting shaft and mine shaft and cut off air from the men below.
 Twenty-Five dead bodies were removed from the mine tonight following a three hours successful battle with the flames. It is believed that six or eight more will be brought out Twenty-Five mules were suffocated and some of their bodies were burned.
 Explorations in the channels this aft ernoon revealed that none of the men met death by burning. but that all of them were suffocated. It is impossible yet for the rescuers to get far from the base of the main shaft and it probably will be A hours before thorough search of the entire mine can be made Some of the channels are three quarters of a mile long.
 After the entombed miners had gone down in the cage a fire broke out, oc- casioned by the ignition of a barrel of oil. which a miner was trying to divide. The flames spread at once to the hoisting shaft and the air. shaft and all com munication with the top was cut off The hrst indication the people on top had of the trouble was when the flames came out of the top of the shaft Hundreds Of miners rushed to the scene and tried 10 get into the air shaft, but this was Impossible, as flames and smoke drove them back. Then an effort was made to operate the cages running up and down the hoisting shaft, but it was found that the cables had burned. There was abso- lutely no help for the imprisoned miners. They had been there under the fire for nearly 10 hours before rescuing parties gained access to the lower levels
 The names of all who went down this morning could not be obtained, but the following is a partial list
 Ross Milton, Andrew Kurilko, Dominick Mariana, R. H. Webster, Nicholas Yaco- bitch, H. H. Parker, Dan Gacamow. Wal ter Jones, Joe Glendenning, Louis Lewis, Lee Horney. Roy Pierce, Tom Reimon, Alex Ross, Tony Keetz, Steve Selonik, William Smith.
 The Hailey-Ola is owned by Dr. D. H. Haley, James Elliott and a number of Chicago and St. Louis capitalists, among whom are several of the directors of the Rock Island-Frisco road The property loss cannot be estimated at present but may reach $5O,OOO The mine is one of the most valuable in the southwest.
