Arrangements for Five Days

"All hotel arrangements of this conven- ton are being made for five days-June 24, 25. 2G, 27 and 2S. We have secured rate of $3 per person for the five days, European plan, in the Eutaw hotel, and we feel sure that every one that goes with us will find 1t a most desirable hotel, thoroughly convenient and close to the business section and not far from the con vention hall. We want to make the 1u- taw house a full f1edged Underwood fort ress with it's guns trained everywhere and the Underwood spirit prevailing the al mosphere, and when the battle is over l feel confident we are coming away Vlc- torious
 Meals can be secured anywhere, but MT. OBrien will put on good meals dur- ing the convention at 75 cents each, and 10 show how good the meals of this hotel are, over 90 per cent of all the banquets held in Baltimore are held there.
 q hope that the papers in the state will give this matter their attention as we are anxious for this marching club not to be simply a Birmingham Marching club, but an Alabama Marching club, with its representatives from every section or Alabama. If anyone desires any infor- nation I would be glad to have them write Mir JacobS.'

M'GRATH G|VESOUT DETAILED FIGURES Three Branches of the
 Charity Expense ITEMS FOR JANUARY Secretary Points Out How Much Better Showing Is Made Than
 For Same Period
 Year Ago
ITEMS FOR JANUARY

Secretary McGrath of the Associat ed Charities has made public the financial operating expenses for that organization and an itemized amount of the material relief rendered 10 the residing and tran sient poor of Birmingham for the month of January. The records made of the work done by the Associated Charities for January in 1911. compared with those of the same month of 1912, tend to show increased efficiency of social service on less money pro rata shared with a propor- tionate addition to the staff of district agents and workers
 MT. McGrath yesterday, in discussing the Associated Charities. said
 Tn handling the funds of the Asso- eiated Charities, we make three divisions. namely: The administration, the personal service and the material relief sections The first includes the secretary's salary. the stenographers salary, the bookkeep- CTS services. office rent, telephone rent. light, postage, printing, and stationery. The second is made of the salaries paid the district visitors who do the case work, visiting on behalf of the association. The third is just what the name implies-that Is, material things which immediately benefit the recipient and are necessary to relieve the distress of the unfortunate persons applying here.
 '"rhe following is the report for the month of January, 1912:

therefore, we want to ask that each and every person who Is interested and de- sires to go with us send his name at once to Mr. Solon Jacobs, secretary, Birming- ham, enclosing check for S10 as forfeit which will go toward the payment of his hotel bill if he goes on the trip. After consulting with the officers of the club this offer will be transferable if the men- Der finds he cannot go himself.
 "I trust everyone will take advantage of this matter as quickly as possible be- cause it will give us a better idea of how far to go in the reservation of rooms, and I believe that 30 days from now It vii! be impossible to get any quarters or any consequence in Baltimore.
 William R. Hearst, it is reported, has arranged for the mezzanine floor of one of the hotels. which gives only five bed rooms and three or four parlors, which will cost him 5000 per day for six days. l. was reported further that the Tammany braves will go on boats and sleep on boats

apples.
On the farm of. Charles Roush,
along the Tuscarora, tenanted by
Edward Johnson, 30 acres of apples
and 30 acres of fipening corn were to-
tally destroyed. The loss here will be
more than $500. Fifty window panes
were smashed here by hail and shut
ters torn off.
In Hedgesville District.
Continuing north from the Dry
Run territory the storm swept with
fury through Hedgesville and the ter
ritory to the north, and seemed to re
double its violence in the neighbor
hood of Spring Mills just before it
subsidized Residents of Hedgesyille
and Spring Mills declare that never in
he history of those places has there
been anything like the fall Of hail and
he fury of the wind. Giant trees
we're uprooted, houses were blown
over, fruit trees torn up, houses and
barns unroofed, fruit stripped from
rees, corn beaten to the ground and
gardens destroyed.
At the place of Peter Sperow, near
Spring Mills, the fine crop Of apples
was destroyed and much damage was
done to the trees. His loss viii
mount to about $4,000.
At the farm of Mrs. J. NJ French,
four farm buildings were blown down,
and buggies, wagons and farming inn
elements broken up. The loss here
will probably reach $1,000
At the farm of Frank Payne the
house and barn were both unroofed,
causing a damage of probably $1,000.
At the home of Mr.. Janney, on the
Wilson farm, the wind tore the roof
from the house, and part of the barn
was destroyed
Other smaller losses are reported
from the Hedgesvile district, but it is
probable that the full story of the
storm will not be known here for
lays. 1t is almost impossible today
o secure complete list of those
Who suffered from the rayages of the
wind and hail.
To Try To Save Some Apples.
Arrangements are Selng made to-
day by James NJ Rothwell to ship as
many of the fallen apples as can be
disposed of to dealers in different sec
tons. The returns from this will be
small, of course, but everything the
growers may get in this manner will
be that much saved from the general
wreck of things. The apples will be
handled in bulk, no attempt being
made to put them in barrels, owing
to their damaged condition.
Wires Are Down.
Tt .oughout the storm district tele-
phone and telegraph wires are down
o such an extent that it is impossi-
BILE to get communication with many
points. There has been no communi-
cation by wire with Hedgesyille to-
day. Telephone service in Martins
burg has also been crippled to some
extent. The power company was af-
fected to such an extent that a por-
ton of the town was in darkness last
night. Today forces of workmen are
making repairs to all wires, which
will probably be in order tonight.
In This City.
The storm did not amount to much
in Martinsburg and it was a surprise
to all to learn late last night that
here had been hail in the county,

Some Heavy Losers.

Among those who suffered heavily
from the ravages of the storm may be
mentioned the following:

Smith, probably 1000 barrels of choice
apples were lost. His damage is SAID
% be more than $4,000 His tenant
house was also damaged by wind and
hail.
The Thatcher Orchard Company's
loss will probably reach $4,000, more
than 200 barrels of apples being
stripped from the trees.
J. Taylor Catrow and Jacob II
Catrow together will lose probably
500 to 1000 barrels of apples, in ad
dition to the loss to their corn crops,
which will be heavy. The loss here
will probably reach $500 or $4,000.
At the old Pitzer orchard, now own
ed by John Miller, the damage was
heavy, probably half the crop being
ruined The other Miller orchard es
capped.
Practically the entire crop of about
500 barrels of apples at the ]. r. Pc
land orchard was stripped from the
trees. The damage was especially
complete at this place.
At the place of r. G. Horner the
damage was also heavy, but no esti-
mate of the actual loss could be OBJ
tanned. Probably 500 barrels of APP
pies and hundreds OF bushels of corn.
George Sperow also suffered heavily
losing probably as much as did Mr..
Horner.
The damage to corn, fruit and veg
etables at the John Burkhart place
will amount to about $500. Here
windows were smashed by hail.
The Buck Hill Orchard Company
lost about ESQ barrels of apples and
1000 bushels of pears. The loss here
will amount to about $4,000.
The destruction of several hundred
barrels of apples, corn, etc, at the
w. X. Murphy place, just over the
mountain, will cost Mr.. Murphy about
$1,000.
At the Lo;l orchard and truck gar
dens. the crops were badly damaged
but the actual loss is not estimated
Michael Butts small crop of apples
and all hi struck were wiped out, "a
loss of several hundred dollars.
The corn crop and the garden truck
at the farm of Henry Bender are a
total loss, the damage being hundreds
of dollars.
The crops on the farm Of John Rid
enour were ruined, and much damage
was done at the place of Henry Hess.
At the place of George Shrodes the
apple and corn crops were almost TO-
tally destroyed
At the place of Wilbur Shrodes
lightning struck small barn and de
stroyed this building. together with
one hog and quantity of hay and
other feed.
Homer Smalrs loss to apples, corn,
etc, will probably reach $500 At
this point the storm was apparently
not as heavy as below and above.
