HEAVY FIRE LOSS
 IN THE SUBURBS
Loss Equal to That in Bir- mingham Proper Dur
 ing Past Month

The fire loss in the suburbs of Greater Birmingham was practically equal to that in Birmingham in spite of the fact that there were two clothing fires in the city during the month of June, as shown by the report of Chief A. V. Bennett of the fire department, made public yes terday.
 There were ten houses burned at North Birmingham, on account of no water facilities. Six of the houses were burned at one time and four at another In both instances the fire department was helpless on account of the lack of water. The report shows that there was.a total loss of $57,62s.S9 during the month. Of this amount s49, ,409 .57 was covered by n- surance, leaving total loss of $s217 .32. The department responded to 123 alarms and fires, ran 1647 blocks, laid out 35,5oC feet of hose. used S41 gallons of chemi- calls and raised 1852 feet of ladders.

BOTH WHITES AND NEGROES
 ARE MOVING TO THE CITIES

in stating the rate of increase. This diff eulty arises from the fact that portions or the rural area are continually chang ing into urban districts. Urban popula- tion, as defined by the census office is composed of those groups that live in cities and other incorporated places hay ing at least 2500 inhabitants In order to obtain definite measure of the rate of increase 1t is necessary that the rate pertain to the same area for each census period. Rates of increase, calculated for the places that were classedl as urban or rural in 1S9o,> are as follows:
 The white population of the 1890 cities increased 27.6 per cent between 1890 and 1900 and 46.6 per cent between 1900 and 1910 Similar rates of increase for the urban negroes are 23.3 per cent in the decade 1890 to 1900, and 30.5 per cent in the decade 1900-19l0. For the rural sections of 1890 the rate of increase for the white population was 1S7 between 1890 and 1900 and 17.3 between 1900 and 1910. The increase of the negroes in the same rural sections was 175 between 1890 and 1900 and S.3 between 1900 and 1910
 comparison of these rates of increase brings out clearly the cityward trend for both races, but shows it to be even great CT for the whites than for the negroes The rate of increase for the urban whites advanced from 2f.6 to 46.6 or a difference of 19 per cent while the rate for the urban negroes advanced from 23.2 to 305, or difference of 7.2 per cent.
 The rate of increase in the rural sec tions was less for both races in the decade ending in 1910 than for that ending in 1900, but the decline in the rate of in- crease was very much greater for the negroes than for the whites. For the whites the change was from 1S7 per cent sY, f1,A re-4 &- A. years, difference of IA per cent For the negroes the change was from 17.B per cent to S3 per cent, a difference of 9.2 per cent.

Washington, July 17.-(Special) )-Pre- Iiminary statistics showing the consistent and constant cityward movement of the white and negro population of the nine southern cotton states, based upon the re- turns for the censuses of 1910, 1900 and 1S9O are contained in a comparative state ment prepared under the supervision Of MT. William c. Hunt, chief statistician for population in the bureau of the census, and issued today by Acting Census Direc- tor Falkner. The figures are preliminary and subject to necessary revision later, but it is believed that there will be no material change in the percentages stated.
 The nine cotton states concerned are: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina South Carolina and Tennessee.
 Of the white people of these states 1S.9 per cent lived in urban areas in 1910, IA per cent in 1900 and 11.6 per cent in 1S9O- Of the total negro population of the same states the percentages living in urban areas were 17.7 per cent in 19l0 14.7 per cent in 1900, and Ills per cent in 1890.
 It appears from these percentages that the changes in the proportion of the to- tai negro population of these states living in the urban sections have been about the same as those in the proportion of the total whites who live in cities. Both White and negro show decided move ment toward the city. From an urban proportion of 11.6 per cent in 1890 the whites have increased to 1S.9 per cent in l910 During the same period the urban proportion of negroes increased from 11.9 to 17.7 per cent.
 While the proportion of whites and ne- groes living in city and country can be readily measured, some care Is required

MIR. WICKERSHAM WILL BE
 UNEASY FOR SOME TIME TO COME
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, July 17-(Special.) )-Three red-hot democartic Investigating commit tees are on the train of Attorney Gen eral Wickersham of the United States government. Democrats are not alone in the determination to get at the bottom of some mighty suspicious looking things in the administration of this department.
 The judiciary committee of the House, of which Congressman Clayton is chair man, has just decided to report favora- ply resolution of Delegate Wickersham of Alaska calling upon Attorney General Wickersham for all papers and informa- ton in relation to the alleged Alaskan coal conspiracy, and especially to give his conspirators Delegate Wickersham ap- peared before the judiciary committee and stated that though he had demanded prosecution on affidavits of alleged irreg- uarites more than q year ago, the At torney General had not even replied to his demands until a few weeks ago. when he worte that the statute of limitation had intervened to save the alleged crim- inals. or words to that effect.
 Before the democrats were in control of the House it was impossible to get action in the committees, but now that the democrats are in power these and other like matters are being aired pretty freely. Delegate Wickersham produced information ofore the judiciary commit- tee that was very sensational The mem bers of the committee expressed them selves as amazed at the charges and the evident connivance of high officials in fraud conspiracies.
 The House committee on expenditures in the agricultural department is siftlng the charges against Dr. Harvey ". WI ley, in which affair Attorney Generai Wickersham figures in a most unenvlaple way.
 The activity of this committee mas spurred the House committee on expehui- lures in the department Of justice 10 re- newed action and the method or paylhs special attorneys and others thousands of dollars in special fees and expense ac- counts without demanding that these ac- counts be itemized will be sifted
 Between these three fires Attorney Gen eral Wickersham is not expected to be very comfortable and the administration is also coming in for large share of uneasiness.
 The developments in the investigation of the Controller bay matter that is be- ing sifted by the House committee on ex- penditures in the war department is an other thorn in the side of the administra-

CARTER KEEPS HIS
 TROOPS MOVING

San Antonio, Tex, July 17.-A(Special) )- While number of regiments have been sent from the mobilization camp at Fort Sam Houston to their old stations, the 60O0 or more, remaining find that Gen. eral Carter knows how to keep soldiers busy to the limit all the time. It is General Carter's theory that sanitary con ditions properly enforced and plenty of camp is kept healthful. That the soldiers are getting plenty of work is attested by order for a large part of those in the mobilization camp to march to Leon Springs 20 miles away. with light equip ment in an effort to determine how little an army on a march can get along with.

New York, July 17.-"He ruined my home," said Giuseppe Romanselo today, when arraigned on the charge of killing Alessandro Zarro and mortally woundfng Filipo Prosapio. The shooting occurred in an Italian cafe in Harlem late last night, while thousands of Italians out side were celebrating the annual festival of "Our Lady of Mount Carmel" An argument with Zarro was followed by a gun play that dove everybody else out of the cafe. Fifteen policemen had all they could do to get Romanello to the police station through the crowd of cele- orators.
