WANT MOTOR ENGINE
FIRE CHIEF BROwDER ENTHUsI-
AsTIC CONVERT.
Desires That All Present Vehicles BE
Replaced with Motors, Pointing
Out Cheapness of Maintenance
and Good Service.

Chief John Browder of the Fire De-
partment Is much interested in the
character Of new apparatus that will
be purchased for the department on
the recommendation of the committee,
recently appointed to consider addi-
tions for that branch OF the city SER
vice. Chief Browder fs most anxious
Tor the new apparatus to be secured
and says that II 10 badly needed.
His desires are that no more horse
wagons or horse engines be added to
the department. He says that motor
wagons and engines have been tested
and proved perfectly satisfactory in
u number OF cities. In Mobile, where
one of the motor wagons has been In
use six months. It has proved sntisfac.
tory beyond anything that was ex-
pected. According to Chief Browder.
Chief Tom Price of Mobile claims that
he can reach a fire with the combina.
ton wagon before any other piece Of
tire fighting apparatus in their city.
The cost OF operation and maintain
ance OF combination motor driven
wagon such as Chief Browder wants
for Montgomery would be. 1t is Is said
but IS cents per day and when this ~
compared with the dollar q day which
1t now costs to keep each horse In
the fire department. one of the strong
est arguments in favor of the motor
engine can readily be seen.
The Chief also called attention TO
many other points In which the horse
less vehicle Is preferable to the old
style. Fewer men would be required, 1t
Is said for their operation and care, the
several station could easily be concen-
trated, II desired. nearer the centre OF
the city for the great speed at which
they may with safety travel would
make II possible for an engine Stallion
ed in the centre of town to reach the
remotest suburb earlier than the near
~st wagon pulled by horses. This plan
would AFFORD better defense against
tire In the business section.
The chief further pointed out that
a wagon, after q run to a fire is at
disadvantage because of the jaded con-
dition of the horses which are invarfa-
hfy in such condition after a run.
This is true of the horses In summer
especially. On the other hand. said
the chief, a motor Is just as good af-
ter dozen runs as after the first.
Chief Browder said that at the nation
al convention OF fire chiefs. which he
recently attended, a test run was made
by a motor engine. and u was proved
to every man present that wagons 80
driven were infinitely safer for both
driver and others using the streets
than a horse wagon. 1t was further
pointed out that a motor wagon with
out exception gets away from the sta
ton in less time than the horse wag-
on. No accidents to harness and no
refractory horses ever are to be con-
tended when the motor wagon Is at
hand.
The chief is quite enthusiastic on
the subject. He wants the motor
wagon for the City Hall station.

r. L. MCKENZIE RETURNS
FROM ALASKAN TRIP

Forest L. Mckenzie, Assistant Sec
retary OF the Alabama Press Associa-
ton and editor of The Tallassee Tri-
Weekly. reched Montgomery last night
on his way home after travelling $4,000
miles.
Mr.. Mckenzie was one of the dele
gates from the Alabama Press Asso-
citation to the National Editorial Asso-
citation convention which was held this
year in Seattle, Wash. After the meet
Ing, the editors OF the country went on
pleasure trip through the Alaskan
country. They travelled as far to the
north as Port Graham, which is 2.900
miles from Seattle.
Absent from Alabama nearly two
months. Mr.. Mckenzie was naturally
much interested in the news of Ala
bama. He said he had read in vari-
GUS newspapers that the Legislature
had met in special session, and had
submitted an amendment to the con-
stitutton, excluding Intoxicating drinks
from the State forever.
II am utterly opposed to the amend
ment," said Mr.. Mckenzie, land shall
come to the meeting which has been
called in Montgomery on Sept. Is. /
hope our people will organize and de-
feat this radical measure. We have
had enough of tinkering with our laws
without amending the constitution"
Mr.. Mckenzie says the National Edi-
torial Association will probably hold
its next meeting In New orleans. and
that its members may go from there
to Panama to inspect the work being
done on the Panama Canal. He is in
favor of the Alabama Association
members going to Panama with the
National Association.

due notice.
In speaking about the round he

evening.
DEPUTY Will Hall and myself in

Burban places yesterday. but we did

proprietors said that they had already
returned them, while others stated
that they would return them IL they
could get their money back.
"All the proprictors of the places
we visited said that they were going
to obey the law. Many of them talked
like they would quit the business. At
few places soft drinks were being
served. but most of them had already
cIosed their doors All the places In
which the Capitol City Brewery was
Interested were closed

SMALL NEGRO THIEF Is
ARRESTED BY POLICE

A small negro boy, IL years old. was
arrested by two policemen yesterday
and charged with burglary and grand
larceny, 1t Is alleged that the boy
broke into and robbed the apartments
OF two young men who roomed in the
basement OF the Methodist Church at
ale Bib Street. A quantity of cloth
ing and some money was taken by the
thief
Suspicion rested on the boy because
of his peculiar actions when the OH
GERS were making an investigation OF
the affair. 1t was found that some
paint on his clothes was identical with
some about the walls of the room that
were robbed, and 1t was also noticed
that the boys shoes fitted perfectly in
to the tracks left by the thief.
The value of the stolen goods and
money was about SIS.

LITERARY AGENTS AND LADIES,

search and profound thinking. Only
the other day the daughter OF the
richest man on earth wrote most eIo-
ouently and touchingly of motherhood
And her work Is equally noteworthy
for the highest grade OF literary skill
and an uncommon grasp of thought
In this new fashion there Is fine OPP
portunity for the mere humdrum, hard
working literary man. AS literary
agent and man of business to deal with
editors he can make a fortune. AS the
fashion grows. and the number of mil
lionairesses, ducheases, countesses, etc.
who enthusiastically decide to give the
multitude the benefit of their learning
and wisdom increases, there will he
greater and greater need of such
fuentionary. Any good, active literary
man ought to be able TO market the
creations of a score of ladies of fash

lieved Of the trouble of dealing direct
with editors.
Moreover. there is a further oppor-

may employ him to do research work,
gather facts. read and digest books
and generally do the drudgery work
which always hangs so like a dead

A wOMAN's THEORY.
81 do not see why we should try to
dress well during the hottest summer
months a practical woman said the
other day. and then she proceeded to
explain her theory of dress. She said
it was merely matter of common
sense. Prints and muslins are more
appropriate, anyway. for hot weather,
and why should we not all wear them
For my part, next summer my ward
robe will contain not one dressy or
silken gown. Every one will be so
simple that 1t might be the property
of some village maiden, and shall
wear any one of them into the city, IL
necessary shopping calls me-"
Z And really, the theory Is not unreal
sonable. A woman in an immaculate
muslin frock always looks presentable,
even al warm weather entertain
ment. 1t has been the custom to wear
boned gowns in the very streets be-
cause neatness is demanded, yet, really,
they are so uncomfortable and they
so soon become shabby that they are
very unsatisfactory. 1t may be that
the theoretical woman will never be
brave enough to. put her, theory. Into
practice, yet some other woman may.
