SOME OF PATTERNS
COTTON BURNED

New York, May 25.-Three hundred and
twenty bales of cotton consigned by
James A. Patten to spinners abroad were
burned tonight In the hold of the North
German-Lloyd liner Prinz Friedrich Will
helm at her pier in Hoboken. The vessel
was only slightly damaged, and the blaze
was extinguished after an hours hard
work by partly flooding the hold. The
FIRE started from an electric spark.
ONy recently Mr.. Patten received an or
der for $1,000 bales of cotton from for
eign spinners, and he began shipping
abroad part OF the vast consignment,
which was delivered to him on May con-
tracts. 1t was to be delivered at Is cents
pound. and accordingly the loss by fire
tonight will approximate $4,000 The
flames were hard to reach because of the
dense volume Of smoke. Sixteen fremen
were overcome. Finally, however, the
hold was sufficiently flooded and the blaze
was under control. The North German.
Lloyd line announced tonight that me
Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm would sail on
time tomorrow.

DISCUSS PLAN FOR
FREE TEXT BOOKS
GREENyILLE, MISS, MAN TELLS OF
SYSTEM USED IN HIS CITY AND
ANSWERS QUESTIONS PROFOUND
ED BY AFFICIALs AND OTHERS

For three hours last night the Birming-
ham Board of Education and the special
committee of the City Council threshed
out the fine points in the proposed system
of renting school hooks to the children
and furnishing free supplies.
Prof. E. P. Bass, principal of the
schools at Greenville, Miss. was the chief
speaker. He outlined the system now in
use In his city by which the city buys
all school books in the elementary
grades and rents them to the children,
taking them up at the end of the year
and using them until worn out He had
figures to show the cheapness of the
method, and met the argument that it
would spread disease, by stating that all
infected books are Immediately burned,
and before any exchange Is allowed the
covers are changed, the books set on
shelves with their leaves open and thor
oughly fumigated, whereas under the
present system the books are often ex-
changed without taking any precautions.
Present at the meeting were President
John L. Parker, DR.. E. P. Hogan, John
w. Tomiinson of the Board of Education
Aldermen C. C. Heidi, Barnes Morgan
and NJ j. Gregg Superintendent j. H.
Phillips, j. H. F. Moseley, w. M. Nc
Cutcheon, Judge n. B. Feagin, H. E.
Shropshire, Jr., DR.. ]. S. McLester, Pro-
fessor Glenn, Mrs. ]. H. Johnson and
several others.
After hearing the plan presented by
Professor Bass the subject was much dis
cussed. Dr. Phillips thought it had con-
siderable merit, but with the necessary
repositories and taking it up on such a
large scale, he thought it would require
about SIS 600 to start it.
The question of sanitation was
threshed out, and various opinions ex-
pressed Some suggested that the pupils,
for sake of sentiment, would desire TO
keep their books. Judge Feagin, who
heartily Endorsed the plan, recalled that
when his class at college graduated they
buried their books, held funeral obsequies
and were delighted to get rid of them
Mrs. ]. H. Johnson, speaking for the
| laboring people, made an appeal for the
change, and asked the pertinent question,
Are the public library books fumi-
gated?"
The meeting was simply to gather infor-
nation, and it is understood that some
plan will be adopted later. While it
| was thought that what might do for
| Greenville might not work in Birming-
ham. DR.. Bass was thanked for his sug-
gestions, and the brains of the educators
were set to thinking.

PIG IRON MARKET
is MORE ACTIVE

Cleveland. May 25.-tSpecial.)-T Iron
Trade Review tomorrow will say:
Some increase in activity and further
price concessions have characterized pig
iron market during the week, and there
is general feeling that the bottom has
been reached.
1T is not expected that there WILL how
ever, be any decided advance in prices
soon. The general feeling is one of mild
improvement as to both pig iron and fin-
ished material.
Sales of pig iron in the east amounted
to about 1900 tons. and double that
amount is now pending.
There is increased interest in the CHI
cago district. In the Pittsburg district
sales amounted to about 25, 900 tons, in
Guiding several round lots of basic on
which the price has settled to SIS valley.
A large steel interest Is expected to buy
a considerable tonnage of Bessemer, and
1t Is believed that the sale will be made
at about $16.25 valley. Sales of open
hearth steel rails, amounting to. 1000
tons, are reported at Chicago.
1T Is estimated that contracts for struc-
tural material placed this year amounts
to 100000 tons, and contracts pending call
for about 10000 TONS"

CHAMPLAIN IS BURNED

Albany, N. Y, May 25-The Hotel
Champlain on Lake Champlain was de-
stroyed by fire today.
The hotel was located at Bluff Point, N.
Y. 1t had not been opened for the sum-
mer season as yet, so there were no
guests In the house. 1t was one of the
largest and finest hotels in northern New

There were about 80 employees in the
building when the fire was discovered.

to have escaped, an electrician named
Herbert was later reported as missing,
and may have lost his life.

the United States at one period of Pres
ident McKinley's administration, as 1t
was a favorite summer resort for him.

amounting to 3233.0 900.

OUTBREAK FEARED
AT LOOKOUT MINES

Atlanta, May 25.-Following the receipt
of news that a serious riot was threat
ened at the Lookout Coal and Coke COM
pany's plant near Durham, Ca, growing
out of the dissatisfaction of foreigners
employed in the mines, Governor Brown
tonight ordered the military company at
Lindale to proceed on a special train
early Thursday morning to the scene OF
the trouble.
There was no serious clash between
the mine officials and miners. according
to later information received here, and
the fact that the military company was
not ordered to proceed to the mines to-
night is thought to indicate that the threat
ened outbreak is not anticipated before
tomorrow morning. There are no specific
advices as to the nature of the alleged
uprising emanating from Atlanta.
