The Equipment Is h.

 ARE CAUSE OF DAMAGE Pumping Station is Unable to Sup ply Water for Big Fire. The City Needs New Boilers for the Pump House and the Insurnnce
 Rates May Be Af-
 fecfed.

Defective fire plugs. weak hose, and . pumping station unable to supply water for a big fire. Is the condition Montgomery is in today, to fight con- dagrations.
 Fire Chief Browder says the last sup ply of hose sent the city Is unreliable. that three of the twenty lengths sent broke the first time they were put un7 der pressure, the first time such thing has happened in the history of the de- partment. He also says that the two big fires Wednesday evening and Thursday morning were due. to no small degree to the fact that two or the fire plugs broke when an attempt was made to open them, delaying get ting of water.
 Superintendent Cain of the water works has been begging for an ade- Quate battery of boilers for the water works pump house for three years and they are not here yet.
 To add to the serious aspect of the situation, the fire insurance company insuring the boilers now in use at the pump house, says that unless the boilers can be opened for inspection the insurance will be cancelled.
 Taking the phases of the situation one by one, they are as follows:
 The City Council. 1t is said, passed the order for the last supply of fire hose over the advice of the fire chief, buying a class of goods that was near 1y third cheaper than the standard variety. The standard hose used by

Seymour arranged schedule for him, that called for two speeches day, in many sections of the State.
 MT. Williamson Is very much grat- fled with his reception in this State' and the interest shown in modern methods of corn growing. He found, he says, that a wide campaign of pub licity had been carried on before he arrived, and the interest with which the addresses are received, is surpris- ing to him. The tour began in South east Alabama and MT. Williamson said last night that at every place at which they spoke, the crowds were large. In some places, all who wished to hear the addresses could not find places in the room of the speaking. He was pleased to see that in a number of Alabama towns, the higher classes of the schools were turned out In order that the stu dents might hear the addresses on corn | raising.

GROCERY STORE ROBBED.
Valuable Gold Watch and Some Cash
 ta Secured,

is Secured.
 Columbus, Miss, March 4.-(Special.) -Buglars last night entered the gro cery store of J. B. Shaw. near the Mo- bile and Ohio depot, and after crack ing the safe, stole a valuable watch and $l5O in cash therefrom.
 The robbery was not discovered until Mr. Shaw reached the store this morn ing. The tools used in cracking the safe were stolen from the repair shop l of Charles Jacob, several blocks dis tant from the scene of the robbery. The tools were appa7entiy taken py some one familiar with the shop, as no other implements were disturbed, but the manner in which the safe was opened seems to indicate that the job was performed by professional yegg- men, and 1t is supposed that the thieves hired some one who was familiar with the shop to steal the tools for thsm. The police have no clue as to the Identity of the robbers. Two unknown men left here on Mobile and Ohio train about daylight, and they were at first subjects of suspicion. but proved to be students of a local busi- ness college returning to their homos.

 Henry and his wife had been es- tranged for some time, and the negro had been living with his brother at Me- Crary, Miss. He decided to have a settlement with his wife last night. and took a shot gun along in order to frighten her. The woman declined to yield to entreaties or threats and free-hght ensued.
 The woman was sh ot in the shoulder, her daughter received a wound in the leg. while the man got his in the hand.

making them went out of business for lack of orders for their wares.
 When 1t was suggested that they be bought former City Engineer Ford. Chief Browder and Mir. Cain Of the water Department, fought their choice bitterly, they were familiar with the situation, but in spite of their protests the plugs were installed. More than 800 of them are placed In various parts of the city.
 Some months ago Mir. Cain again brought the matter of new boilers for the pump house to the attention or the City Council, he had baen asking TOT . stronger battery for three years ana at last the Council decided to increase the strength of the water power plant. Mir. Cain said that the water supply or the city was inadequate to combat confisgration if the boilers at the pow CT house went wrong, There Is good ly supply of water In the two stand pipes in the city. but as these are on high land, they would quickly drain and unless the fire was in the lower parts of the city. there would be little or no pressure, to send the water out with and that would not last long.
 The Water Committee of the Council met a month or so ago and listened to keVcTal DOlleE ECPicsOhso lives who desired to bid on the job or increasing the present battery of boil- ers the bids will be opened March To, and something Is expected to be done. One company ayers that 1t can put Tn two additional boilers without increas- ing the size of the present boiler house. but the boilers they make are Of a kind that the city must have practical ly every part of the boiler In dupli- cate. or wait until broken piece can
 be sent on to the factory to he inend- ed. It will cost practically $500 to add to the present building to put In more boilers and some ot the Council
 men favor this plan.
 At their own expense, Aldermen Gun
 ter aud Virgin secured the services or
 a boiler inspector to examine the boil CTS now in use. this inspector was the
 representative of one of the largest in-
 surance companies and he said the
 boilers now in use were in good condi l. ton and his company would be Slad 10
 carry the insurance.
 The representative of the company now carrying the insurance. says that he cannot get at the boilers to inspect them, because 1t takes seventy hours ach for the four boilers to cool so that he can get inside. and unless he can get In them when inspection time comes. his company will not carry the | insurance.
 Some of the local business meE are l'uneasy about the situation, fearing that fire insurance companies will with draw their protection from local con cerns because of the condition of the facilities for combating fire. but the Councilmen are after the work and | say the hose will be attended to. the plugs inspected more frequently. and | that the boilers of the water plant will
 be attended to. yet the condition that 1 existed when eleven homes were burned l inside of twenty-four hours still ob- | tains

CITY NEWS BRIEFS

Myaor Teague has received from Gunby Jordan, Chairman of the Board of Education of Columbus, Ga, one O; the pioneer cities in the adoption of manual training for boys in the public schools, several pamphlets dealing with the ubject and reports from the vari- ous departments of the Georgia towns schools. Nr. Teague is as deeply il- terested in the matter as the local ed- ucational authorities and the Commer- cia! Club and Is studying the situation as 1t can be applied to Montgomery.
 Those interested say that the advent of manual departments in the local schools Is a foregone conclusion and that 1t Is only a matter of time before the dep. tment will be installed.
 Dr. S. A. Knapp, of the Department of Agriculture, will have an exhibit in the rooms of the Commercial Club, March and 9, and will give demon- strations on various matters pertaining to modern agriculture.
 The members of the Membership Committee of the Commercial Cub are doing good work in getting n-w !ncm- bers for the instituoin. Il Is sail th'.t they have secured nearly fifty new members already and at the next reg ular meeting, these will be taken into the Club and set to work increasing the membership along with the stand ing committee.
 Talk about & new Secretary for the Commercial Club is growing in the city. Many local men are advocating H. F. Martin for the place. because of his knowledge of the class of work, close association with MT. Dave, and his recognized ability. but there are some who are hoping for a plum of the Dave variety and are looking far afeld for the new man. But a choice will be made before long for there is more work piling up than President Ball and Acting Secretary Chaffee can attend to.
