CANADIAN TALKS
 ON SAYING TREES
RICHMOND LATROx SAYS TOO MUCH ATTENTION IS GIVEN OTHER NATURAL ASSETS TO EXCLUSION OF FORESTS.

Richmond Latrox, member of a Ca- nadian body, interested in the preserva- tion of forests, spent yesterday in the city.
 The gentleman had just completed a visit throughout several of the southern states. and was gratified to find the peo- pie awakening to the need of preserving the trees from the greedy and unscrup- ulous.
 q was delighted to learn that Governor Conner has interested himself in this movement" said MT. Latrox last night in the lobby of the Hillman, "and that he has appointed a committee of prom- inent citizens to aid in the preservation of Alabama forests. The same anxiety is apparent on the part of Georgia, and other southern states.
 While the reckless destruction of a tree, is horrible even within itself, the destruction of forests is a curse which has fallen upon the United States, equal ly as disastrous as other Instructions for the simple garnering of money.
 You boost your rivers and harbors. You show great anxiety in the improve ment of other natural assets. But gen. erally it happens that people are fear fully careless relative to the saving of trees which, within themselves, are bless ings, distinct and requisite.'

SUBTREASURY PLANS
 ARE KEPT SECRET
RMlNGHAM DOES NOT WANT AT LANTA TO SEE HER HAND-CoM- MlTTEES WILL BE READY AT UNDERWooDs CALL.

The sub-treasury proposition is being worked out in Birmingham and plans are being laid for landing it. The few men behind the effort, however, are not letting their plans be made public for the reason that they don't want Atlanta and the other contestants to get wise as to what Birmingham Is doing
 The Commercial club and the Board of Trade are the two organizations which are behind the movement and will have committees in readiness for Congress man Underwoods call. Much doubt, how ever, is being expressed here as to whether the matter will come up before the ways and means committee at this session, and this rumor is causing a feel ing of uneasiness.
 It is believed that Birmingham can get the sub-treasury at this session if the matter is brought up. With the addi- tional population brought in by Greater Birmingham, together with the fact that a committee can be sent to Washington from Birmingham which knows all the ins and outs of the nations capital, there is no doubt but Birmingham can make a strong fight.
 The very few men who are thinking about it are very anxious that the pub lie wake up to this question. If the sub treasury had been landed last year it would have been established here early last summer and the panic would have affected Birmingham and Alabama but little. If this session of Congress fails to consider it. another year will roll by before it can come up again.

LETTERS TO THE --.DITOR.
Voice From County Jail.

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 I see in this issue of your paper that you have used my name in connection with the parties who made an attempt to escape yesterday. I wish to say that I did not have anything to do with it. nor knew anything about it. also wish to say that the attempt that was made before was made before I came here and that the sheriff secured the saws that were used at that time. The sheriff can show you the saws that were found in my cell and can tell you that they had never been used. No one besides myself and the man that gave them to me knew anything of them. At the time they were found I told the truth about how I came into possession of them. I had had them for nearly three months and had never made any attempt to use them. In con- clusion, I would like to say that I am in enough trouble without getting into motion in for a rehearing, and such things tend to make people think harder of one than they already do. am not guilty in the degree that I am charged, and hope that the future will bear out my statement. o'Hoping that you will have the statemenaoan today's issue corrected and asking TOT better treatment in the future, I remain yours truly,

HEALTHIER TONE
 IN REAL ESTATE
LEADING FIRMS BELIEVE SPRING WILL SEE GREAT ACTIvITY-IN- QUERIES OF BUYERS ARE AL READY NUMEROUS.

healthier tone was noted in real es- tate circles yesterday At one of the largest companies in the city it was stated that the prospects for actual sales had been brighter within the last fonr days than at any previous time since De- tober l, last year.
 At another large company. which since August has not sold dollars worth of property, according to one of it's firm members the horizon was brightening up, and the indications were that the people, gradually recovering from their late frights, were slowly making themselves active.
 Real estate men are beginning to be- ljeve that there will be considerable buy ing and selling of realty in the spring, as is indicated by the gradual return to the market of investors small and large. In spite of that fact, there is very lit tie buying and selling at the present tme The real estate men judge that business is preparing to boom by ln- quiries from persons whom they con slider are really desiring to purchase prop erty.

 Many persons suffer with weak stomach and more or less illness because they fail to understand the simple and healthful plan of a breakfast somewhat like the following: A little fruit.
 A dish of Grape-Nuts and cream. One or two soft eggs.
 A Cup of POstum Food Coffee and perhaps n piece of hard toast. A man says, "I couldn't go on that until noon.
 One or two days trial will teach him a big volume of facts and make him feel lift as a lord" There's a deep underlying and scientific reason. The best argument, however, is the actual ex- perience with such break fasts.,

YOUNG PUGS HAVE
 LIVELY ENCOUNTER
A BASKET OF EGGS FIGURES IN THE MELEE AND PRIZE FIGHT CHASE.

A basket of eggs, an old man, a pop eyed pickaninny, and small newsboy. who appeared to be white under the grimy coat which covered his face, gave an impromptu performance yesterday af- ternoon at the Chalifoux corner, which made the moving picture shows hide their faces in shame
 The old man was standing on the curb, evidently waiting for a car, while at his feet on the sidewalk was a split basket half full of eggs. The pickaninny was walking up First avenue towards Nine- teenth street, and the small white boy was walking in the opposite direction, 10th taking the middle of the sidewalk, and meeting about 50 feet from the cor ner The small white boy didn't stop 10 barley or ask why the pickaninny had failed to get out of his way, but inn mediately proceeded to put Hams little son completely off the sidewalk. Hams son objected, and, being nearly foot taller than the white boy, pat up a good argument.
 White Boy caught PiclSaninny jolt on the ear. Pickaninny recovered and
  Boy ducked and attempted to land on Pickannny's already fiat nose. Picka- ninny warded it off and then clinched. White Boy broke loose and sharp spar ring followed Then Pickaninny clinched and White Boy went to the ground with Piekaninny on top. Over and over they rolled, then up again. White Boy se- cured a grip around Pickannnys waist, gave jerk and Pickaninny went to the ground with White Boy on top this time.
 Then pandemonium turned loose, for Pickaninny's head and shoulders fell across the split basket which contained the eggs. The old man was in the game in a flash. Two hands shot out and White Boy and Pickaninny shot up, each held in a tight grip by the old man. Pickaninny began to squirm under the shaking he was getting, and kept on squirming, finally breaking loose
 Down Nineteenth street to the Louis vile and Nashville station he flew, with White Boy who had also succeeded in breaking loose, following close behind. The old man was right behind White Boy and almost had him, but the boy must have been made of springs for he twisted and tucked, and, with a sudden sprint, left the old man behind. Up Nor ris avenue he followed Pickaninny, both soon disappearing in the heavy traffic. The old man gave up the chase after run ming half block further, and going back to his split basket of cracked eggs, began asserting the yoll< and albumen in an effort to find some that had survived

of Break
 in Price of Piq Iron

After a fair volume of iron business since the first of the year, the market yesterday was inactive and unsettled. While the Tennessee company and the Sloss-Sheffield company have endeavored to maintain the price of iron at SlS.50 on a No 2 basis it is stated several of the large furnace concerns have been selling right along at $12.75 and $19. The Wood ward Iron company always known as an independent, has been quoting and selling pig metal at SIS and probably less. But it is said that the Republic and perhaps other companies that were understood to be quoting at $135O. made sales since the first week in January at S1275.
 As result of the difference in prices asked, the $12.75 and s1S sellers have nat urally booked the bulk of the business.
 There was an important conference of iron interests at the headquarters of Pres dent Corey of the United States Steel

corporation in New York yesterday. Vice President McQueen of the sloss-Shefield company was in attendance, but President Mablen stated last night at a late hour that he had not been advised as to the re- suit of the meeting. It may be that the conference adjourned until today for further discussion of market conditions
 A special dispatch from New York to The Age-ETerald yesterday evening staIes that all present at the meeting in Mr. Cory's office were extremely reticent as to what took place but that "all the efforts made to bring the independent Southern iron makers together had failed"
 According to the opinion of well in- formed iron brokers here. if the independ- Tents. as they are called. continue to sell on a schedule below SIS the Tennessee and the Sloss will mark down prices to SIP and probably much lower.

The mayoralty race is on! The first an- nouncement was made last night by Jere c. King, the author of the Greater Bir- mingham bill. While this announcement will not cause surprise, yet it answers a question which has been going the rounds for some time. Mir King just de- cided upon the question definitely yester- day, though he has had it under consid- eration for some time.
 It is believed that this announcement will be the cause of at least two or three other candidates announcing themselves within the next few days. It will un- doubtedly add fuel to the talk of an early primary.
 When seen last night MT. King said:
 q will be candidate for Mayor of Birmingham at the approaching primary election. I have given much study and

were at work on the Mount Pinson road, one on the Twenty-seyenth street road, one jumping about doing repair work, and another building abutments to bridges. He states that a few blocks of new road were built toward Blue Creek, and that all the rest was repair work.
 MT. Hill is giving all of his time tor the county, and he claims that more road work has been done this year than ever before. lie says that last summer every dirt road was put in order.
 Nevertheless, it is contended that the county's system is not working correctly. It is not adequate. It leaves too much to the other fellow No one is responsi- ble except when the public steps in and demands the reasons for existing condi- lions.
 It now seems to be generally believed that a competent engineer is needed, a man who can choose the best highway pavement, the best system of employing labor and working them, the best system of quickly repairing county roads, the best way properly to drain road, and the best machinery to do the work right. Perhaps state legislation is needed to ob- tain the result.
