PUT CHARITIES ON
 SYSTEMATIC BASIS
Movement Started to CentraIize
 Charity Work
J. H. M'LEAN MAKES TALK
Arrangements Made for Mass Meeting of Citizens Interested to Be Held Next Thursday-Meeting
 at Y. M. c. A.

That the business men of Birmingham are going to. take a hand in helping the ladies put the charity work of the city on a business basis was made plain by a meeting of the younger business men at the Young Mems Christian associa- tion w. E. Urquhart presided over the meeting which followed a little lunch con and announced that the proposed associated charities would probably be organized next Thursday afternoon with mass meeting in the Commercial club rooms.
 He introduced J. H. Mclean of Atlanta and New York, who outlined the plans of the associated charities and so inter- ested those present that they appointed a committee to cooperate in the prelim- inaries to organization.
 MT. Mclean pointed out that the asso- ciated charities will require an office and three or four trained workers, whose duties it will be to investigate every case which is brought to their attention. He said that they would act as the agents for all other individuals and charity organ izations and would not only see that proper attention was given the deserving, but would go after the roots of the trouble and become a power in the re- moval of the real causes of the poverty, disease and trouble of the downfalen.
 He insisted that it was a business prop osition, that it would save the city and the taxpayers hundreds of dollars, both in caring for and trying criminals, and in directing the money and clothing into the right channels instead of its going to waste. Under the new system the person will only have to give the beggar or the person found in need coupon to the associated charities, which will inn mediately take up the case in detail
 similar meeting for the older busi- ness men will be held today at noon in the Womans Exchange, and committees from both meetings will work up the programme for the big mass meeting on Thursday afternoon.

TENNESSEE DUTCH UNDER $5OOO BOND Has Not Yet Been Able to

BARTON STILL HAS FUN

Tennessee Dutch James Moore, alias John Rutherford was given a prelim- mary hearing yesterday afternoon before united States Commissioner Reuben B. Watts on the charge of robbing the safe In the postoffice at Pelzer, s. c. As a result of the trial he was bound over under S5oO0 bond which he has failed to make
 lie was taken from the county jail to the federal building by City Detectives Cole and Disheroon while the handcuffs adorning his wrists were the same pair which were used on the notorious safe blowers, Miller and Duncan. when brought to Birmingham from Chatta- nooga several years ago.
 Attorneys William Vaughn and Charles Denegre defended Moore while Assistant United States District Attorney Joseph H. Montgomery acted as prosecutor. The trial lasted but a few moments, and after being bound over the prisoner was led back to the county jail
 When asked if he could make the bond he promptly replied that he would make it before sundown. A reporter asked him where he would get the money, and the prisoner iocularly advised him, Kid, you're too young to be mixing in politics."
 Should he make the bond there will be no freedom for him, as the state authori- ties would immediately take him in charge on the Mississippi warrants for his ar rest
 Beyond the occasional teasing of his guards, George Barton, Moore's pal, ere ated no excitement at the county jail yesterday. After playing all of Wednes- day night with the leg chains, which had been double fastened upon him early Wednesday night, he grew tired of switching them first from one leg to the other and tossed them into a corner of his cell The question of placing the chains on him again was discussed by the of ficers yesterday morning, which resulted in their decision to leave them off Bar ton can free himself from the chains in less time than the officers can place the chains on him.
 So far as his guards are aware, Barton has nothing In his cell but the clothing he wears and his blankets, his cot having been moved out Wednesday, A careful search was made of his clothes in an ef- fort to find any keys, wire or anything he might use to pick the cuff locks with, but nothing was discovered, and the man. ner in which he loosens the chains is as mystifying as ever. Despite the, fact that he is one-armed, he is so slick that he can free himself from the chains right under a mans eyes without the man be- ing able to tell how he did it.
 He and Tennessee Dutch" kept up a running conversation all of yesterday, and do not appear at all oppressed by their confinement.

MT. McQueen's Viewpoint.

Vice President J. w. Mcqueen of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company, said:
 Any material reduction in the duty on pig iron or coal would affect this dis trict adversely. A reduction on the iron tariff would affect this district more than any other, owing to the fact that the largest proportion of pig metal here is sold along the Atlantic coast or in close proximity to it, and we have to pay from $425 to s460 per ton in reaching the ter ritory from Philadelphia to Boston; whereas, if it Is true that pig iron can be made in Great Britain and Germany for $11 ton, and the ocean freight if put at S2 (although in the testimony before the ways and means committee I see a lower rate was named), those countries would be able to lay down their pig iron along the coast at S13 and cover cost; while assuming that our average freight is $450, to cover cost in the same way, our cost would have to be $S5O Birming1 ham for pig iron, which is considerably below the most favored cost in ordinary times. On the other hand, Pittsburg, Chicago, Cleveland and such points have a market in close proximity to their furnaces. and import iron would have to pay a freight ranging from s250 to $450 to reach their markets. In this way, unless the price of pig iron was extreme ly high, this district would be practically the only one which would be affected by a lower tariff rate.
 Prior to Panic.
 Prior to the panic SIP might have been considered comparatively low average cost for this district, at which price we could not lay pig iron down on the north ern coast and cover cost at less than SIG. 50 which would give the English iron an advantage of about s ton over Bir- mingham.
 ''We used to make pig iron considerably below $9, but the day for that has passed, for labor would never be content to go back to the wages which satisfied them in those times. I think when Judge Gary puts the cost at Pittsburg and Chicago of iron at $12.29 for his furnaces he has not included any depreciation or renewal fund for the repairs and rebuilding of furnaces when they burn out, for he

IRON MEN OBJECT ID TIE REDUCTIONS
 PROPOSED IN BILL Adoption of Schedule Will Be Serious Blow to Bir-
 ringham District
RORS LOCAL CONCERNS
 OF THE CHIEF MARKETS
We'll Known Men Discuss Effects of Tariff Reductions Proposed On Iron Ore, Pig and
 Coal.

The new tariff bill was naturally a topic of discussion in industrial circles here yesterday Southern furnace interests have been decidedly opposed to any re- duction in the duty on pig iron. While the cut of $1.50 a ton is not quite as large as some had been led to think it would be, iron makers figure out that the reduction will hurt this district.
 Guy R. Johnson Talks.
 Guy R. Johnson, vice president and gen. eral manager of the Alabama Consoli- dated, said:
 Replying to The Age-Heralds inquiry as to the probable effect on the pig iron industry by the proposed reduction in tariff from $4.00 per ton to $2.5O per ton, the following figures will show, in my opinion, the net result of such decreased tariff:
 Cleveland, England, iron was quoted last week at $11.5S. adding to this $2.00 for transportation to our Atlantic sea- board, and s250 for proposed tariff we get a total of $16.OS. Subtract from this the very best Birmingham freight rate to New York, which is, of course, by rall and water and which is $4.25, and we have left $11.S3 as the price of Birming
 
 this figure to the average manufacturer in the district, and if Congress sees fit to pass the proposed Payne bill as it stands today there is only one thing for us to do, and that is to reduce wages 50 that we are on a parity with our foreign competitors.
 What this means may be seen by re- ferring to page 22 of a pamphlet entitled, The German Iron and Steel Industry the facts as to which were ascertained by Charles M. Pepper a special agent of the department of commerce and labor and A. M. Thackara, the American con- sul general at Berlin. This report was transmitted to Congress very recently. It will be noted that the highest coal min ing wages were paid in 1907, which was the banner year for iron and steel pro duction both in this country and abroad, and that the highest average wage was paid in the Dortmund district, and amounted to s1.16 per day. Compare this with the present average wage of coal miners in this district, which l should say was, roughly speaking, about s per day worked.
 If the laboring men of this country want tariff revision they must make up their minds that they will also have to take free trade wages

Benedict Arnold died in London June
II, 1901. His lie after his treason was
most unhappy one. He was avoided
by men OF honor and on many occa-
sions deliberately insulted. He re-
ccived a considerable sum of money
from the British government and made
several unsuccessful attempts to en-
gage in business in British America
and the West Indies and finally re-
turned to London, where he died in
ohscurity. His second son, born in
1880. entered the British army in 1903,
served with credit in many parts of
the world and three years before his
death in 1854 was made a lieutenant
general Companion.
