 IN CINCINNATI"
Hugh Latimer of Alabama Great Southern Lines Says Exposition
 Is Wonderful Sight

Hugh r. Latimer, division passenger agent of the Alabama Great Southern railroad lines in this city, has just re- enthusiastic regarding the success and educational phases of the worlds mission ary exposition termed "The World in Gin cinnati," now being held in that city. This Is the second exhibition of the col lection of curlos and artistic reproduc- tions of life in many countries where Protestant missionaries are stationed, to be made in this country. the first having been held at Boston last year.
 The people of Cincinnati are all very much delighted, with the worlds mission ary exposition, which opened on March 9, and will continue until April 6, and some 5000 residents of that city are to take part in tho exposition at some time during it's continuance" said Mir Lati- mer yesterday. Ut Is undoubtedly the finest demonstration of the work being done by the United States in foreign coun- tries as well as the best replica of cus- tom houses and generallties of many ma 2 tions abroad that have ever had the good fortune to witness IL will be re- called that a movement was inaugurated in this city to secure this exposition for time within the near future, and if this could be acomplished 1t would be one of the most important attractions ever offered for the out of town and out of state visitors to Birmingham"

USE PERMISSIBLE
 POWDER IN MINES
Inspector States That Black Powder Rule Is Being
 Observed

That the miners of Jefferson county are strictly observing the mining code in rs- gard to the use of permissible expio- siyes is evidenced in the fact that only ' per cent of the coal output for 1e1I In this county was mined with black powder. which is not on the permissible list. To test the observance of the statute requirements that carbonite, bituminits, coal powder or monobel be used in the coal mines of the state, Chief Inspector Nesbitt has estimated that 9T per cent of the Jefferson county tonnage is blast ed with one of these explosives. which have been indorsed by the bureau ot mines of the department of interior.
 The federal bureau of mines conducts experiments of each new explosive in long galleries filled with dust. firing six shots in each instance. to determine the igni- ton qualities of the material under con- sideration. The explosives given above have proved successful and while black powder is not prohibited from those mines known to be non-gaseous and nom dust filling 1t Is not ranked as a per missible explosive. Black powder Is some- what cheaper than the permissible kinds disadvantages of the black powder, 1t is stated, are the heat and flames. which are greater with this thac any of r . permissibles. and therefore, Gore 6an- gerous

CONSIDER HOW ID
 ATTRACT CAPITAL Chamber of Commerce Con- mittee Preparing to oCapi-
 talize City's NOtOriety

To consider the best method of exploit ing the advantages of Birmingham as an investment and residential center for foreign capital, the real estate commit tee of the Chamber of Commerce will hold a conference next Tuesday morn ing at Il 30 o'clock in the directors room of the Chamber of Commerce. The local commercial organization recognizing the possibilities of taking advantage of the federal proclamation that Birmingham is the second city of the south, is to begin as soon as possible to inaugurate follow up work that will turn the attention of the country in a practical way to this city. e
 The real estate committee Is composed of M. P. Messer. chairman; R. P. Mo- David. II. G. Seibles, S. E. Thompson and George C. Oliver.
 Believing that the Shakespearean quo tation, there is tide in the affairs of men,, etc., can be also applied to cities, the real estate committee is going do what it can toward financially interest ing outside capital to invest in Birming- ham properties,' said Mir. Messer yes terday Now that the world has been informed by the federal census that Bir- mingl1am is the second city of the south fin trolley area, 1t seems that the iron is hot for the striking of local enter prise in the direction of investment of capital by those having surplus change"

J. H. BOYD CRITICISES
 COLONEL ROOSEVELT
Position on Employers Liability Act of New York Entirely Wrong,
 He Declares

Washington, March 15.-James H. Boyd, chairman of the employers liability com mitte of Ohio. before the House judicial committee today criticised Theodore Roosevelt's position on the employers H. ability act of New York.
 MT. Roosevelts position is entirely wrong said Mir. Boyd. His criticism of the state supreme court, which declared the act unconstitutional, is an injury to the workmen. The supreme court was right in turning down that act, because under it employees were no better off than without it."
 Representative Sabath of Illinois today introduced workmen's compensation bill, the eighth measure of that kind he has proposed in Congress.
 The bill would apply to all laborers and take in employees of telegraph. tele- phone, express, sleeping car companies, steamship lines and others, whether en- gagged in interstate commerce or other wise, and all civil employees of the United States government. The compensation will be from 5000 to s7500 in case of death and 50 per cent of monthly wages during life for disability.

CONSIDER BILLS OF
 LADING PROBLEM
Senate Committee on Interstate Com merce Hears Petition of Western
 Grain Dealers

Washington, March 15.-The bills of lading problem was again brought be- fore the Senate committee on interstate commerce today, this time by the grain dealers Western shippers joined with New York commission merchants in a petition to introduce bill to make railroads responsible for bills of lad ing whether agents who make the bills receive the goods or not. It was argued that the railroads are not now responsible under such conditions and banks are hesltating to deal with bills.
 Judge Clapp recommended the intro duction of clean bill for shippers instead of load and count bill, and said he would favor a bill to make rhe railroads liable in all instances.
 Professor Williston of Harvard. rep resenting the American Bankers asso- citation. protested against that.

Small chill dren are initiative and if they can se- cure such a match, will attempt to Ignite if, generally setting fire to their clothing. No father wno has proper regard for his family will allow a strike-anywiere' match in his home The observation of the precaution I have indicated would mean an almost immediate reduction of the fire waste by perhaps 50 per cent.
 Clear Away Rubbish
 Three or four hoafs a week for each man, going into easements, attics courts and alleys. keeping down ac- cumulations of rubbish, which spring up over night, locating the storage of inflammable oils and explosives, would keep the city clear of it's most per- sistent fire dangers. Every fireman should in turn cover every section in the course of six months. One would thus check up the inspections of the other and local conditions would be- come matter for educative conver- sation about headquarters.
 
 ant result 10 be achieved by such an inspection system over and beyond keeping the city clean; and that is the education of the fire fighters in Inc exact physical character Of the city. To know exactly which passageways are open and which are closed; to know which are fire walls and which are not; to have a fnentA picture of the exposures, the windows the roof open ings, the cornices, and all the other physica "details important in fire fight ing. would so heighter the team work of department that, like expert swordsmen, they could make their thrusts without loss of time, straight at the vulnerable part.

ENGLISH RULERS
 TO REMAIN AT HOME

London. March 15.-The projected visits of King George and Queen Mary to foreign courts have been abandoned for this year.
 The change in the royal programme is attrib uted officially to the coal strike but in all probability the tension in Anglo German relations and the possi- bility of the recurrence of unpleasant incidents if the King and Queen ap- peared in Berlin have more to do with it than the labor trouble In the British isles.

Bessemer, March Special. 1.-The grand jury which has been in session for the past two weeks adjourned about noon today after making the following report
 "Bessemer, Ala, March IS, 1912. 'sTo Hon. ]. c. B.. Gwin, Judge of the
 City Court of Bessemer:
 "Sir--We, the grand jury impaneled by yoh honor, beg leave to report as follows:
 We have docketed 1O1 cases; have e-,"mined 194 witnesses, and have found 72 true bills, and continued three cases for further investigation.
 We have found from investigati tion that the officers of this court have been diligent in the performance of their duties; we believe that the court and its officials are a credit to our Sounty; we deplore the fact that there still exists the most fragrant violation of the law; 1t does not appear to us that the proper diligence is being ex- ercsed to apprehend the violators of the law crimes have been committed of the most awful and revolting na- ture and we are unable to find that any diligence has been exercised by the proper officer to apprehend the criminals. We know that convictions cannot be had except on evidence and we would suggest that more diligence be used toward making thorough in- vestgation of every crime so that the same could be properly investigated by the courts.
 I've do most emphatically condemn the sale of liquors ~e find that ev- cry crime except those of minor na- ture, is attributable to the use of liquors; we find that the great and disgraceful number of murders or hom- icides committed are due to this great evil. It Is our opinion, derived from evidence brought before us, that the blind tiger curse has not been ma terially abated, and we would most respectfully suggest that in case of convictions for the illegal sale Of liquors that hard labor sentence be imposed. We believe that such a sen tence or punishment would tend to abate this great evil.
 We would suggest further that the accommodations of the jurors and those attending this court should be im- proved Greater regarc should be had for their comfort and accommodation.
 We desire to thank your honor for your able and comprehensive charge: for the service that we believe you are endeavoring to perform as an of fcial. and also to other officers of this court for their courteous treatment and we request that we pc excused from further service. Respectfully yours,
