REPORT ON HEATING
 CONTRACT TUESDAY
City Attorney Will Give Opinion. Some Lively Times
 Expected

The principal business to be trans acted by the city commission tomor- row morning at its regular session will be the hearing of the report of the city attorney in reference to the way. Light and Power company, un- der the terms of which the company has been selling heat to the citizens of Birmingham since October 15, 1902.
 At the meeting of the commission Friday afternoon a resolution was adopted requesting the city attorney to make the report, and it is understood that he will be in position to explain the situation Tuesday morning.
 As stated yesterday morning in The Age Herald, Judge Lane is of the opin- ion that the heating franchise of the company is questionable, in view of his opinion that section IS of the ordinance which permitted the franchise is un- constitutional. If Judge Lane is cor rect in his opinion, he will make an effort to recover from the company be- tween s20,000 and s3O,000, which he will allege to be due the city by the com pany for collection froll the former of money charged for furnishing heat to the city hall and city jail.
 The struggle between the city and the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, which was precipitated in an announcement by the latter that 1t would test in the courts the constitu- tionality of the recent referendum elec- tion, is expected to be the most in- teresting topic in city affairs for the next several weeks.

DERRILL PRATT OFF

Derrill Pratt left last night. for St Louis, where he will report to Man ager Bobby Wallace for spring train ing. From =St.- Louis he will go to West Baden. Ind, where the Browns will train for the coming season. St. Louis secured Pratt from Montgomery, where he made a remarkable record last season.
 President Hedges of the St. Louis club recently expressed himself as confident that Pratt would make. good with the team and said that he ex- pected him to star in the majors. Pratt is nothing more than a youngster and should have many more good years in baseball.
 He first gained prominence when he played shortstop on the University of Alabama team under NCoach Pollard. After starring there for three years he played professionally with the Hatties- burg team in the Cotton States league. Then Montgomery bought him and he proved one of the finds of the sea- son.
 Last night when he left for St. Louis he.expressed himself as being very glad to get a chance in the majors and stated that he believed he would stick. He said. however. that he knew he would have to work hard. He will arrive in St.. Louis today.

MISSOURI PACIFIC
 PLACES RAIL ORDER
Contract Placed for 11,5OO Tons - Total February
 Orders 254,000 Tons

New York. March 3.-The only import ant contract placed for steel rails last week was il 800 tons of open hearth for the Missouri Pacific, but the announce mennt of 60,0O0 tons additional Tor the Rock Island, Santa Fe. St. Louis ana San Francisco only awaits the settlement or details regarding specifications. The totai rail orders placed in February aggregated 254. coo tons. Other railroad equipment con tracts were disappointing last week bu' during the month $500 cars and $40 loco- motives were ordered.
 The largest contract for structural steei last week was 5000 tons for extensions to the plant of the Mineral Zinc company dt Denue Ill A host of small contracts was placed but the total was less than 2o.0oO tons. Although the contracts Tor inc United Electric Power house requiring 15.0OO tons of steel was not placed last week. as anticipated, the total February contracts were only slightly under 10000 tons, about one-fourth or WHICH "ao ioi railroad work.
 Bids went in on Friday for four large steamships for the Pacific Mail. which will require about 5000 tons of plates ana shapes and 100000 pounds of torsings. Tenders were also made for construction work on the new Scranton cut off on .he Lackawanna railroad, including two lin- mense bridges, but there is possibility that the superstructure may be of steel construction The United States Steel subsidiaries booked orders for structural material aggregating 5000 tons per day. Shipments were slightly less but speclii- cations on contracts were larger and ingot outputs was sS per cent of capacity. Evi- dence that current prices are unremuner- ative has somewhat checked destructive competition and the largest interests have practically withdrawn from the market by demanding 1.15 cents on bars and 1.21 cents on plates, f.

SIXTH DISTRICT
 POLITICS ACTIVE Hobson and Moody May Hold Joint Debates.
 Quiet Elsewhere

The political center of the state for the ensuing week, at least, will be the Sixth district, in which Richmond Pearson Hob- son. hero of the Merrimac and State Sen ator Frank s. Moody of Tuscaloosa will wage a merry warfare for congressional honors.
 Senator Moody made his announcement; some days ago. and at the present time Captain Hobson is en route to Alabama He is expected to reach Birmingham to. morrow morning.
 Political students agree that in Sen ator Moody, Captain Hobson has serious opposition. It Is the prediction that the contest will be close. Senator Moody's campaign Is managed by Judge William W. Brandon of Tuscaloosa, while the in- terests of Hobson arc being looked after by E. l.. Clarkson of Tuscaloosa, formerly private secretary of the congressman.
 It is understood that an effort will be made to get the opponents on the stump In series of joint debates throrehout the district. Captain Hobson f on of lt most effective speakers in tho slal and one of the sharpest debate in tue ale Is Senator Moody.
 Other than the Sixth tha con ros5iou districts of the state in viilh prltf'' has developed to the incuu bent, luf. r tracted very little attentiou lfa iltt Congressman Richardsor s Ql no .d U Capt Samuel Blackwell 0f fifrtu. nd the general belief is th li Ono Hcmuh lt will be returned by a liberal ulrEa V n. gressman Richardson 'vii Rrrisc a. bama this week and M ft .yf making speeches through the counties oi his district. In the Third, where S. Hu. bert Dent, incumbent, is opposed for re- election by Capt. o. C. Wiley of Troy there is very little excitement. It Is un- derstood that MT. Dent is certain that he will be successful in holding his seat foi at least one other term.
 For the past week the candidates for congressman at large have been actively in the field among the voters, but the announcement of the retirement of Fred Wall of Athens was the only bit of news developed. It is generally admitted at the present time that the race for the bama, in virtue of the census report of 1910 is entitled is between V. B. Atkins of Dallas, II. Y. Brooke of Crenshaw I. w. Hill of Etowah and John w. Abercrom- bic of Calhoun.

 or against any candidate. Sincerely
 yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Oyster Bay, March 3.-Colonel Roose- welt. when shown dispatches tonight | from Washington containing letters of the colonels dated June II, 1911, quot ing him as havig no intention or be- coming a presidential candidate In 19l2 made the following statement:
 q will say nothing unless the name of the recipient of the letter Is given and the letter published in full. Prob ably the language is not correctly given, Certainly all the context in which l said I would not refuse the nomination lis suppressed. The letter published Tn a Chicago evening paper one month ago contains subsequently, all said in these letters THEODORE ROOSEVELT.' The letter referred to as published in a Chicago newspaper was a copy or a letter which Colonel Roosevelt sent to Col. Frank A. Munsey explaining his position.
