A great number of those who have been arrested as we'll as others whose names had not been reached, are coming in and paying the tax collector, with the understanding that prosecution will be stopped. Those who neglect or refuse to pay will be prosecuted and the next grand jury will be asked to return Indictments against them.

S..ss1 CAUSE MORE THAN
 SIXTf-FIVE PER CENT OF ALL FIRES Fosnlnens AvOndale Citizen COntradicts State ments Made by Local Lumbermen and
 Quotes Fire Chief Bennett

ipenter and contractor. knowing where of he speaks.
 Not one of them will admit that less than 65 per cent of the fires are due to wooden shingles and most of them cite statistics to prove that 70, 75, SO, S5 and as high 90 per cent are really due to that cause.
 Bear in mind, however this doesn't mean such-and-such a percentage of fire losses are due to that cause most Of the heavy losses falling in the city's central district where only supposedly nreproof roofings are permitted), but that the percentage applies to the num- Der of fires.
 Furthermore. as personal investiga- tion has shown me, personality the records of the local fire department open to the inspection of any citizen, will corroborate every statement l have made.
 "The lumbermen in their resolutions admit it would be unwise to permit tho use of wooden shingles in the restrict ed central district fire limits, yet they oppose such protection in the residen- tial sections, where fire fighting ap- paratus Is scarcer and less opportunity for the quick detection of fire eN- ists.
 ~They even state 1t would be wise to extend the fire limits of BirminS- ham, wherein the use of wooden shin gles is prohibited, but wish to define and set those limits themselves. again leaving out the unprotected residential sections and suburbs from such pro tective measures.
 "If wooden shingles are dangerous in the central part of the city they are moro dangerous on the outskirts. hence every resident of Birmingham should en- courage and assist the board of commis sioners in it's efforts to give this city greater protection against fire.
 "Prevention Is far better than any other remedy which can be devised and the pro- hbiton against wooden shingles will be a modern preventive-the best which can be applied.
 ''The adoption of such an ordinance, prohibiting the use of wooden shingles, cannot be charged as discriminative, as there are multitudes of manufacturers of fire-proof roofing materials, slate, tile. ce- ment, metal roofings of many kinds. patent roofings and so on. and the differ ence in the cost, which is emphasized by the lumbermen, actually does not exist.
 Tn fact, while on this point, I might go further and say that the fire-proof roofings are the cheapest, for while the initial cost is the same on most of them (and where more is because of some ar tistic patented feature) they last for 10 and 15 and 20 years, some for a quarter of century-wooden shingles only three or four. or at the best, five years.
 These points are all well taken, and are true. upborne both by common sense and by real facts, and the attitude of the lumbermen of the city may shortly change, due to the realization of this, that with reasonable time for prepara- ton they may all become dealers, or agents. for patent and fire-preof roof iuRs. and thus serve their conscience wbila at the same time permanently aiding in the physical development of the commun- ity along safe and modern, not selfish, lines.

WEATHER DOES NOT
 HINDER REVIVAL

Despite threatening weather, large congregation assembled at the South Highland Presbyterian church last night. The service was a particularly impressive one. There is a deep, spiritual interest felt in these meetings. The earnestness of the preacher, whose supreme passion in life is for the salvation of souls; the singing of the chorus choir and the con gregation under the inspired leadership of Professor Fisher, all compel the interest and attention of everyone present.
 Over 800 people have signed cards indi- eating their earnest purpose to Tive more for Gods glory and the good of the church," or to unite with the churches.
 From literary standpoint alone it is a treat to hear a speaker like pr. Thack- CT. His discourses are in finished style, his language of the purest English. and This sentences clear and rounded and pol shed, although he never uses note of any description. Through every sermon, however, no matter what the subject may be, or how masterly the treatment, his one predominant theme is the old time religion-Christ the Savior of the world.
 MT. Fisher as song leader understands his business. If he does not get every body to sing he has happy way of mak- ing everybody enjoy the singing. Mrs. Fisher, the accompanist at the piano, is an artist of the highest order, a mas- ter musician with magic touch, conse- crated to her Saviour Her home is in Boston. She is graduate of the Bos- ton Conservatory and for years was a leader in high social and musical circles there. Six years ago she was converted and placed her life and her unusual tal- ents on the altar of service and sacrifice for the Master
 The services will continue each day dur ing the week. In the morning beginning prenptly at Il o'clock and lasting not over 45 minutes. In the evening, promptly at s.

More than 65 per cent of all fires in the Birmingham district are caused by fuzzy (Fire Chief Bennett originated this adjective} wooden shingles, said I. B.

 ''IE the resolutions adopted yesterday by the lumbermen of the city the state- ment is made that not more than 8 per cent Of the total fires recorded annually resulted from wooden shingles.

Frss Advertising.

San Francisco Call: Massachusetts,
has an unusual law requiring that
political advertisements shall be sign
ed. During the recent campaign Gov
ernor Foss of that state called upon
the Boston grand jury to investigate
Theodore Roosevelt and other editors
and managers of The Outlook on
charges OF breaking the law in this
relation. Doubtless the charge was
madec hiefly for political effect. Roose-
velt's name was dragged in to create
some sort Of stuffed sensation, but that
is not the point.
The difficulty would appear to lie
in the fact that IT seems impossible
to construct a complete definition Of
advertisement. An advertisement may
or may not be paid for. and in these
days of press activity and ingenuity
some OF the best advertising gets free
space. For example. in the newspa-
pers Of Thursday morning, Enrico
Caruso, the illustrioug tenor Of grand
opera, declared rcundIy that the re-
port of his engagement to marry was
"all the beeg press agent. 1t 10 all
for the papers to make advertise
ment.''
The astute theatrical press agent is
often successful in working off such
disguised advertising on the newspa-
pers, but he is not the only one. The
modern press agent has invaded almost
every field. and In politics he Is es-
pecially active. Governor Wilson Of
New Jersey and Governor Harmon Of
Ohio and Senator LaFollette Of Wis
consin all maintain literary bureaus
actively employed in working of stun
on the political conscience Of the ews
papers.
All this is 4 form Of advertising for
which no pay is received and to which
no signatures are attached. Doubtless
II would be gctter II all advertising
