LESTER AND WIFE IN JAIL

:=.x szobile. Jan. 3o.--Hardaway Young. .-preeldent of the Southern Hardware and Supply Company, who was heIo .Shp at the point of a pistol and com" day afternoon by Fleetwood Lester. made the following statement today concerning the affair:
 .I was called to the home of Lester by a telephone message from his wife. Mrs. Lester answered the knock on the door and invited me into the par Tor, opening the door of the parior herself. and as I walked into the par Tor the door was closed behind me. I looked around and saw Mir. Lester with a revolver pointing toward me, and he commanded me to sit down at q table and write what he told me to write. stating that unless did so he would kili me at once.
 'T rerncnstrated with him few min- utes. but he became very violent in his threats and continued to demand that sit down and write. I sat down at the table and Mir. Lester said Write what you see before you.' I then read a letter written out in Mir. Lester's own iW ndwrfting in pencil. addressed to Mfr. Cooper. who is treasurer of the Southern Hardware and Supply Com pany, which was an order for me to draw on Cooper for fifty-slx hundred and twenty-five t$5,s25) dollars, which was the amount he paid for forty-fiv shares of stock in the Southern Hard ware and Supply Company some years ago; also two other orders for salary due him to date. He then gave the order to Mrs. Lester, told her to take 1t to the firms office and get the money. He then took a seat and point ing the weapon at me held me 8 pris- oner until Mrs. Lester returned with the money. He then told me could go."
 Lester and hls wife are In jail and have been refused bail. Lester has been with the firm for a number of years and is prominent in church and secret societies.
 The Lesters in a statement given out this afternoon through their attorneys say they have not committed any wrong. and only got what belonged to them and that when all the facts became known the public win not have any cause to crlticise. No date has been set for -4he preliminary hearing.
 On a writ Of detinue issued today in the Law and Equity Court the sum of e5,625. found In possession of Lester. was turned back to the Southern Hard , ware and Supply Company.
 - During last night and this morning ,ssnany telephone calls were received at the laH from well-to-do people asking stfie ja1l officials to state to Mrs. Lester tshat they stood ready to aid them in any way.
 From the best information obtain able Lester's action was caused by a fear that he might lose his money. sIwhich. hA had aa stock insthes soytAern

Dickens who. declare in their petition that Dickens has left for parts unknown and that ewiien. he caused to be removed bonds aggregat- Ing sso.oo0 with Intent to hinder, de- lay or defraud his creditors committed an act of bankruptcy.
 The alleged act Is said to have been committed January 23. since which time nothing has been heard of Dick ems The petitionerstzrc former coun- sel of Dickens and their claims are for legal and- professional services.

CRUISER BIRMINGHAM WILL gTAY
 IN LOWER BAY.
Party to Present Silver Service Will Go Down Bay sn a Tender
 --Sea 1s Rough.

Mobile, Jan. so.--(Special.) )--The presentation to the cruiser Birmingham of silver senwice by the people of Bir- mingham win in all probability be made in the lower bay, the commander of the vessel having sighified his de- termination not to come up to the city.
 The cruiser arrived in the lower bay this morning. and sent word that she would not come up to the city. Mo-. biIians got into communication with the vessel and asked the cause for not coming up to the city and were told that the captain of the vessel feared he could not turn her around after once entering the river here. This idea master, collector of port, prominent steamship agents and others sent wire- less telegrams to the commander of the vessel informing him that vessels of greater length and draft than the Bir- mingham had successfully come up to the city, and just as easily turned in the rIyer
 Tho captain of the vessel then said that he had to sail on February and if he vantured the trip up the bay. which is now rough and stirred by the gale which has swept over 1t for the past two days. the vessels condensers would become clogged with mud which would require several days to clean and which would cause delay of sew eraI days. So, unless the weather moderates before Monday, the day the presentation ia scheduled, the presen- tation will he made jn the lower bay. where the Birmingham party. headed by Lieutenant Governor Henry B, Gray, will be taken by the cruisers 4ehder, the osceola. to Fort Morgan. " u
 The following .prominent M6bflians have been appointed az a committee to receive the delegation of. BirFnins ham people coming to this city to present the cruiser Birmingham with silver service on Monday: c. B. Hervey, Chairman; A. s. Lyons. M. J. Vjckers, T K Jackson and Pat J. Lyons.

EXPLAINS SYSTEM
MOBILE DEPENDS UPON DIRECT
 PRESSURE MAINS.
Interview With Ffse Chief Broyder Classes Mobile Paper to Explain seant Apparatus In That
 City.

Mobile citizens cIaiu that the inter- view with Fire Chief Browder. In which he commented upon the Gulf City aepartment did not do the firemen of that city justice.
 It is not claimed that the Mobile fire department Is up to the standard which IS desired. but 1t is asserted that with tho force at hand. that Mobile fires have been handled with loss which is small in comparison to the value of property endangered.
 The feature of the Mobile system is the direct pressure mains. In an ed ltoriai yesterday. The Mobile Register makes the following comments upon Providers report which appeared in the columns of The Advertiser, "Ghief Browder ignores entirely, the fact that Mobiles chief reliance in fire fighting Ia upon the direct pressure mains. and that the steam fire engines are auxil- iary, to be used in cases where eleva- tions are to be reached and extra pres sure is required. In the old time, be- fore the water pressure was obtained. there were six steam fire engines. all of which were laid of. and it is only In the last few years that two engines have been brought into service.
 Now, as to results: The report for l907-1908 of the Mobile fire department shows that 227 alarms were answered that the property involved was insured for $362. 2.S10. and that the actual insur- ance loss was as2.441. The last report of the Montgomery fire department to hand. that for the year ending in 1907, shows that 269 alarms were answered. that the property involved was insured for SI65.202 and that the losses paid by the insurance companies aggregated $149.496. The figures are obtained from the official reports of the Mobile chief. and Chief Browder. of Montgomery. They show that while the property fn- volved In Mobile was two and one-half times more valuable than the property Involved in Montgomery. the losses In Montgomery were two and one-half times greater than in Mobile. There is also a eongratulatory note in the re- port of Chief Browier that the losses for the year were $4s.l10 below the losses of the previous year. ->I Tn face of the ofTlcial reports, 1t is not apparent how Chief BEowder can maintain his claim to have the superior department He has more men and more material but the Mobile department gets results with it's limited fore and it's limited ap- paratus. rrtt
 We shall not pretend that the force of men is as large as 1t should be. or that the equipment Is all that Is need ed, Chief Providers recommendations in these respects deserve consideration: but we would be pleased to have credit where it is deserved. and. especially. to have recognition given to what the small force and the inadequate equip nieA& hSses 5been salole stodAccomplish. The chief Gsaysi that ethe perSonnei ct the force Is excellent and he leaves it to be understood that this, includes the ofacers, for he offers no criticism o1 them. If this is a correct inference his report will be an answer 10 tne crIticIsm that has been heard regarding fine handling of recent fires in this city"
