Suburbs Arm Themselves
 Against Danger 0f Fire

Heights completed. and the council puts a station in East Birmingham, there will be twenty-three fire stations in the Bir- mingham system.
 This will probably be the largest in the south. It will require a half dozen separate fire districts and the work of the man in charge will be more than doubled. Two of these stations. Foun- tain Heights and Lakeview, will be sup piled with a modern automobile com binaton chemical and hose wagon, which with the one at North Birming- ham will give the city a basis for the gradual change to automobiles, which is sure to come, it is thought.
 At present the waterworks company is at a standstill in the work on the stand pipe on Red mountain Property own CTS around the proposed site for the pump house raised such a kick that it seems impossible to locate the pump house However, when this is put in place. so far as water pressure and ap- paratus are concerned, Greater Birming- ham will shine as a fire protected city.
 All the suburbs are calling on Chief Bennett for his advice and the improve ments being installed will come right up to the notch. They are having sev- eral hundred new plugs connected and will endeavor by the first of the year to have all property well protected from fire.
 Chief Bennett Wednesday night order ed 5000 feet of new hose to take the place of defective lines.

CHIEF BENNETT AFTER JANUARY WILL BE AT HEAD OF PER- TAPS BIGGEST DEPARTMENT IN THE SOUTH.

The suburbs coming into Birmingham are determined to have fire protection when they get into the big city Every one of f on is proceeding to put in new appaia and the plumbers are kept busy Hing plugs.
 East l. lie at it's city council meeting Tuesday night ordered a combination hose and chemical wagon, and author ized the erection of station as well as the purchase of horses. Graymont and Elyton have already purchased their ap- paratus and will soon have it installed, after the horses have been purchased.
 Even North Haven has got busy and will have a complete fire station when Greater Birmingham becomes effective. Pratt City has ordered both a wagon and fire engine, and Ensley is planning two new stations, one to be at Fairview in the immediate future.
 When Greater Birmingham becomes ef- fective Chief Bennett will find himself in charge of twelve more modern fire stations, which is just three more than Birmingham proper can boast. When he gets the new station on Founta1n

CLOUDS HID THE
 ECLIPSE OF MOON

Mars sailed behind the moon in saucy fashion last night and many eyes were strained heavenward in the eff fort to catch a glimpse of the eclipse Heavy black clouds however, intervened and completely obscured the moon and stars at the scheduled time of the eclipse, which was a few minutes after 8 o'clock
 A short while afterward the clouds moved out of the way, and the bright planet which has been accused of being inhabited appeared to be within an inch or two from the moon. Both star and moon were unusually bright. The dis tance between them gradually widened, and at midnight they were far apart
 That the clouds should have come up at the time they did was regarded as a shabby trick on the part of fate It's only every few years that Mars trips across the right of way of the moon, and there were thousands of persons watching for it last night

ADJUSTMENTS.
My Boy"

The theatrical season was formally opened last night at the Jefferson the atre when Tim Murphy and his co-star, Dorothy Sherrod, were presented in My Boy" the latest comedy success from the pen of Rupert Hughes A large audience was in attendance and at all times showed marked appreciation for the companys efforts.
 Tim Murphy needs no introduction in Birmingham Season after season he has scored deserved success, and has re- mained a favorite with local theatre goers. The vehicle in which he appeared last night is an excellent one, and the role of John Roland suits him admir- ably. Miss Sherrod Is happily cast In the part of the Duchessa Campello, and at the performance appeared at her usual standard as a comedienne. Others in the company who deserve credit for good work are James M. Brophy, who was seen as the Duke of Altamonte, James Dudley, who took the part or Paul Boland and Miss Dorothy Davies, as yfttoria di Altamonte. The remain der of the cast were seen to advan- ta oe in minor parts, and served well as .fllers-in.''
 The play was well produced and in sn,te of disadvantages went off smoothly from beginning to end. It was perform cd last night for the first time this sea son. the members of the company not having been seen in their present parts since last spring, when the piece was nroduced in Chicago It was well re- ce,ved by the audience and all comments were of the most complimentary pature. The story of the play deals with the usual conflict between the democracy or America and the aristocracy of Europe. The lesson taught is an old one-that the course of true lover never runs smooth and that love is a power that surmounts all obstacles. The play hinges about the love affairs of Paul Boland' the son of the American millionaire, John Roland, and the Princess al Alta monte, whose father was decreed that she marry the Duke of Westborough an Englishman who has his title only. The elder Roland seeks to arrange the mar riaee of his son to the princess, and IS placed under arrest for conspiracy and abduction by the girls father when he | attempts to have them elope Tn his yacht, which Is anchored in the nearby l harbor of Amalfi. Young Roland has | become enamored of the princess wnei 1 he has seen her in the guise of milk
 maid. Incidentally the elder Bolan'
 meets the Duchess Campello, who proves
 to be his old sweetheart. The million l aire is summoned to appear at court t
 be personally thanked by the King an 1 only his work as a philanthropist save him from Imprisonment and disgrace
 Matters at length are strengthened ou'
 the father of the princess consenting |
 her marriage with the young America
 at the request of the king when tn
 wealthy father agrees to contribute a
 immense sum to be used for charitabl
 purposes in Italy. Roland and the Ducf
 essa CampelIo are reunited and the pla
 ends happily for all concerned. -

Ensley, September 1.-(Special )-During the severe electric storm that visited Ensley this afternoon three negro work men who had taken shelter under a tree were struck by lightning, killing Lack man Slaughter and rendering the other two unconscious.
 The three men were employed by Burkhalter & Co.,, who are constructing a storm sewer on Avenue J, between Twenty-second and Twenty-thlrd streets They were in the ditch when the storm came and took shelter under a tree close by. Slaughter, who was employed as a bricklayer, retained the steel trowel in his hand with which he had been work ing. They had scarcely reached the tree when they were struck down. Dr. Fon- vile city physician, was summoned and on examination pronounced Slaughter dead. There were no marks or scars on the body of the deceased and death must have been instantaneous. Dan Ridley was badly shocked but will recover. The other negro, John Colman. was only slightly injured. The accident caused much excitement for the time being, and caused great crowd to gather.
 The remains of the unfortunate negro were taken in charge by Echols & Aug win. It was stated Slaughter lived In Birmingham and was married
