DEFENDS FIREMEN
CHIEF BROwDER MAKES ANSWER
 TO MOBILE STATEMENT.
Claims That Assertion From the Cali City Did Not Do the Local Fire Fighters Jus-
 ka0e.

Several persons have asked Fire Chief Browder about report that ap- peared in the Mobile columns of The Advertiser about the work done by the local department. the figures ss pub- lished being furnished by person in Mobile.
 The work of the Montgomery. fire det partment they say, Is too obvious in the city to need a defense. glance at the structures that have suffered by fire shows that most of them have been saved, before great damage was done. Having many frame houses in the city there have been many flres, but the great majority of the houses damaged are still standing and can be readily repaired. There are few naked chim- neys standing about the city to pro- claim a tardy or deficient fire service. ss are seen in so many citieH
 When the chief saw the report he was very much surprised and prepared the following statement correcting the error. of the former report.
 Chief Powders reply is as follows: Fire Department, City of Montgomery,
 J. F. Browder. Chief.
 Montgomery, Ala, Feh. 13, 1909. Editor The Advertiser:
 Tn The Advertiser, issue of January S1. in the Mobile column, some citi- zen of Mobile. in defense of the Mobile ire department, drew a comparison of the work of the Mobile and Montgom- cry fire departments for the years 1S07-0S.
 While have never made e public statement discrediting the Mobile fire departments work and really do not care to get into an argument, still, in justice to the Montgomery department, I would like to correct the statement made by the Mobile citizen in the issue of the date mentioned.
 This person. In drawing his compar- ison of the losses here and in Mobile. has evidently misread the report from which he claims to have secured his information. My report for the fiscal year, ending September 30, 1907. shows that the department responded to 293 alarms. fought fires in buildings, and contents thereof, valued at s1,957, ,O2O04 which were insured for $1.3l4,511, and the actual fire losses for the year were s12S. .Oss62.
 The Mobile gentleman says in his statement that we received 259 alarms that property involved was insured for S165,2O2, and that the losses paid az. gregated S14s,io6.
 Prom the figures I give, which car be verified by comparison with the an nual report of the city of Montgomery | ending September 30, 1907, the gentle. man from Mobile will doubtless hnd that he has done the Montgomery fire department a grave injustice.
 When I made my recent inspection of the Mobile fire department I made no public statement whatever as to tht work done by the Mobile department having made my report direct to thS 1 Mobile committee who employed mJ services, and cannot understand whJ | the statements made in the Issue ol January q by the gentleman from Mo. bile, should have been made at all Anyone taking the trouble to make comparison of the report as set forth

Tn selecting two male beauties to represent Alabama at the inaugral ball In Washington next month. sena- tors Johnston and Bankhead have done the right thing. They are now Quali- fled to act as judges at baby shows and maybe they could carry off prize for deciding the most beautiful of a beavy of young women debutantes. : Judge Basil Manly Allen of Birmtng- ham and Albert P. Bush of Mobile are the young men upon whom the good fortune fell--the fortune of being se- iected as "the two handsomest men in Alabama" and why not? Here are pictures of the Alabama beauties" The people of the State have a right to see the physiogonomy of the men who are to vie with Tim Woodruff and Jim Ham Lewis and Albert J.. Beveridge and other "beauties" who have been picked. For q certainty the people of Alabama will applaud the choice of Senators Johnston and Bankhead.
 Judge Allen and Albert Bush will outshine any men that come across the ball room floor in Washington on the night of March 4.

 Charged.

Mobile. Feb 1S-(speciaD-On a re- quest from Chief of Police Bodeker of Birmingham. Frank J Davenport, a middle aged man. was taken Into cus- tody by the local authorities today and held for the Magic City Department where Davenport is wanted
 Several days ago the police depart. ment received a letter from BirminE. ham asking that Davenport be arrest ed and held, the authorities enclosing a letter from Ed H. Laney, who sworO out the warrant in Birmingham, charE. ing Davenport with false pretenses.
 It seems that Laney, who is a res- ident of Montgomery, purchased half interest in a manufacturing bust. ness which Davenport, promoted, pay. ing Davenport $220 on account of a half interest. The two men. 1t Is said rented a place at 1T0s First Avenue, and were improving the place prepar- atory to opening the business. Dav- enport left Birmingham and went to Battles Wharf. 6 summer resort on the eastern shore Of Mobile Bay, where his wife and child were living.
 It was then that Laney swore out the warrant chafging false pretenses and the letter to the local police to ap. prehend Davenport followed.
 Davenport's arrest was effected this morning as he left the steamer coming from eastern shore points to Mobile. and. as he claims. on his way back to Birmingham. He was taken to police headquarters where he was docketed as a fugitive from justice and held for the Birmingham authorities.
 A Birmingham officer will arrive to- morrow for the purpose of taking Day. enport back to Birmingham
 When searched at police headquar- ters, Davenport had $91 in cash, q check for s125 from a Pensacola com pany, a watch and other articles He claims that he is guilty of no wrong doing. and that Laney, so soon as ne absented himself. feared that he had run away for good, and caused his ar rest.
