In AN opinion given by Assistant Attor-
ney-General Gaskill, published In The
News last week. he says that the members
of the Burlington County Executive
Committee must be elected as the rules OF
the Republican party provide-that Is,
nine members from the entire county, and
not as the law says. viz: shall be elected
bv election districts" The law also pro-
vides that the chairman of the committee
shall file with the clerks of the several
municipalities-not with the county CLERK
the number of committeeman to be
elected in the county as provided by the
constitution and bylaws Of such commit
tee. The decision of Mr.. Gaskill applies,
If we understand it, to the RepuDlican
party of Burlington county only. The
rules of that party adopted In conven-
ton held before the law on the subject
was passed, made the number OF members
of the executive committee nine, and as
it will not be possible to elect that num-
Der from forty-seven election districts,
the law is interpreted to fit the situation.
The Democrats of this county have
always had q committeeman from eacn
district, and they, in turn, selected an
executive committee. Whether that
party has any rules on the subject we &c
not know, but If they have regulations
that require the selection OF member
from each district what will be the result
Must they elect nine at large, or can they
follow their old customf In other words
must there be an opinion in each county
TO meet the rules of each partyf The law
is supposed to be general, and the I'm
preston gained that 1t was for the benen'
of the people, and not for the advance
ment or continuance In absolute power o.
any particular set of men. The opinion
of MIR. Gaskill, however, puts another
construction on the statute. II the he
publican committee of Burlington county
make rules that the executive branch
shall be reduced to three, then three
must be. And II, and the same time, TN
Democrats of the county adopt rule
creating an executive committee OF nifty
those rules must be given consideration
We do not believe this was the intention
of the law, nor does 1t look reasonable
that each party is to govern this matter a
suits It's convenience. If such were tn
case there was no necessity of Legislation
on the subject. To the lay mind the Law
appears to be perfectly clear, an'
even the Assistant Acknowledgement, IL
his opinion, while advising the election
according to rule, says ''the statute is no
entirely clear on the subject.

HIGH SCHOOL HAS SCARE BY FLAMES Phosphorus lgnites In Chemi-
 cal Laboratory THREATENED TO SPREAD Quickly Organized Fire Brigade of Boys Succeeds In Checking Head way of Flames and Remov-
 ing Chemicals.
THREATENED TO SPREAD

What might have resulted in a catas- trophe was narrowly averted yesterday afternoon at the High school when blaze of some proportions was discov- cred fin the chemical laboratory. The in- cident took place at about o'clock when the senior class in chemistry had taken up its work in the laboratory. A great blaze was seen to issue from one of the cabinets in which chemicals are stored, and the feminine contingent of the class was thrown into a sort of panic.
 Fumes of various combustible chemi- calls began to fill the room, and 1t was with great difficulty that Prof. E. s. McGlathery, instructor in science, and his quickly organized fire brigade of boys succeeded in checking the headway of the flames. Water repeatdly thrown on the fire failed to extinguish it, owing to the nature of the burning materials, and 1t was necessary to demolish the cabinnet piece by piece At the risk of their clothing and persons the boys succeeded in removing to safer quarters the bot ties of chemicals not reached by the flames. Hence the final loss consisted only in the destruction of the cabinet and some materials it contained. The only bad effects were the flooding of the laboratory and some of the f1remen with water. sundry burns and little unnat- ural excitement.
 The origin of the flame was & quantity of self-ignited phosphorus. The phos- phorus, which is a very combustible sub- stance, is always kept under water to
 IL lx, lrt. &I, substance was immersed had been trusted through and the water escaping. the phosphorus took fire from exposure to the air.
 It is considered very fortunate that the combustion began at time when the class was in the laboratory. Had the phosphorus caught fire during the night the result might have been very serious especially as explosives were so near at hand in the laboratory.

EXPRESS BUSINESS
 GROWS ENORMOUS
Liquor Shipments Largest Eyer
 Received Here
BIG FORCE IS KEPT BUSY
Agent John H. Ham Says More Gen. era Express Matter Has Already Been Handled Than During Any
 Previous Holiday Season.

Enough liquor has come into Birning- ham this week to float battleship," said John H. Ham, agent for the Southern FIX press company, yesterday. Toddy is evil dently still the Christmas drink in Bir- mingham Packages of whisky have come in by the car load have been side tracked in the yards and unloaded. half dozen full cars have already arrived and others are expected.
 The Christmas business at the express office is the largest in history. according to MT. Ham. "we have already handled more this year than during the whole of the holidays before" he says. we are up to our neck in it, but so far have been able to keep everything moving and will further increase the force if necessary"
 The incoming trains are so full of Christ mas express that very otfen train gets away before the Birmingham stuff can be unloaded. This has occurred several times on the fast Louisville and Nashville trains, which stop only a few minutes. The express men follow the train as long as 1t moves slowly, gathering up the packages which are thrown out, and the remaining ones are brought back on the next train.
 MT. Ham states that the incoming mat ter is fully equaled by that going out and he Is of the opinion that the expenditures represented are the largest in the history of Birmingham.
 The postoffice Is not breaking last years records at very fast clip. In fact, only one day so far has come within danger of crossing the line. While the postoffice clerks are being pushed to handle the mail under the crowded conditions, they are no worse than last year. This is account ed for by the fact that more large pres- ents are being sent by express.
 The express company is using twelve extra vans and Drennen & Co.'S big auto mobile, while special help has been put on in all the substations at East Lake. Woodlawn, East Birmingham, Ensley. and other points.

MAKING READY FOR
 MORE ALDERMEN Big Council Chamber Is Being
 Remodeled GALLERY FLOOR CUT OFF Mayor Has Recently Gone into Busi- ness of Making Collins For Paupers Thereby Saving City
 Considerable Money.

Mayor O'Brien has adopted measures which for the present will alleviate the crowded condition of the city hall and give a great deal of added space. Car penters are now at work hanging a floor in the old assembly ball between the third and fourth floors.
 The space above will be given to the public library. and will almost double the room for books on the fourth floor. The old assembly hall was abandoned several years ago by the council on ac- count of the poor acoustics. but with half of the height cut or there will be no trouble from this source and the council sessions will be held once more in the larger hall.
 The present council chamber is en- tirely too small and with the fl new aldermen there would be no space to seat them. The old hall will be plenty large and all objections removed.
 The engineering department will then be moved to the third floor into pres ent council quarters, and tho sanitary department will take the offices now occupied on the second floor by MT. Nicholson.
 It is interesting to note that this work is being done by the city with material. iron girders and everything from the city's shop and mill. Mayor O'Brien and Street Commissioner McCartin are over seeing the work which will he completed before a contractor would have hardly started.
 Among other industries which the city of Birmingham has undertaken under the present administration is that of making coffns. The burial of paY- pers has hitherto been done by q fn- tract, but the city found that it could make it's own collins for s1.5o and save practically $S5o on the oeal.
 With the minimum average of one per day. over s10o0 will be saved within one year, which, as an economical measure. appeals very forcibly to Mayor o' 'Brien.
 The collins are made in the city's shops and are even better than those in use before. The county would like to have Birmingham make its cohins, but the city has not yet gone into gem eral undertaking business.
