"TEN POINT" WILL
WIN FAMOUS DERBY,
THE EXPERTS SAY

louisville. XIV. MAY 9.-What is consid-
cred the cream of 3-year-olds in America
will face the barrier tomorrow in the
thirty-ninth renewal of the historic Ken
lucky derby, to be run over the Churchill
Downs course. The track is fast and
fair weather is predicted.
To the winner will go the title of
champion 3-year-old of America, as the
contest will be over a mile and quar-
ter route The race this year is distinct
" between the east and the west, with
the east figuring to hold the upper hand
in Ten Point owned by A. l.. Aste.
The eastern colt doubtless will go to the
post a heavy favorite, as Hawthorne,
the winter book favorite. is out because
of illness Foundation will carry great
amount of Kentucky money. as many
think the erratic Lexington colt has a
good chance. Backers of these two en-
tries base their opinions not only upon
the way the two horses worked as 2
year-olds but in the easy fashion they
have disposed of their fields this spring.
1t appeared tonight that there would
be five starters, as follows:
Ten Point 40, Wilson.

Yankee Notions d1O, Glass.

table, and as a result the unsettlement
that is giving rise to mixed conditions in
economic affairs is to be regarded as of
a tranSitory sort.
Seldom have crop prospects been more
favorable; soil conditions almost every
where, save in few sections, being un-
usually propitious, while the outlook for
winter wheat is well nigh ideal, the yield
of that cereal promising a crop of unsur-
passed magnitude.
All the moment prices for textiles in the
ca st tend to resist declines and reaction
toward more or less steadiness is reflect
ed in some branches of the cotton goods
trade Wool is quiet and most new wools
coming in are on consignment. While re-
tail trade is good it would move more
freely if weather conditions were more
settled.
Labor does not lack employment, build
ing being very active with mill work
showing no abatement. Flour manufac-
turing is quiet and there is less doing in
iron and steel, both as respects specifica-
tions for the finished article and new
business.
Copper is firm, not so much because of
new demand as the strong statistical po-
sition of the metal. There are fewer idle
cars. Lake tonnage is heavy. Prices for
meats farm and dairy products are low
err Collections may be considered about
fair Money is a little easier, but the
banks still are well loaned up. Bonds
have lately worked into better position,
but stock market operations continue
narrow.
Business failures for the week ending
May 8 were 243, which compares with 26O
in the like week of 1912. Business failures
in Canada number 49, Wheat, including
flour exports, from the United States and

St Louis, May 9.-St. Louis broke Phil
adelphia's winning streak today, winning
Z to g. st. Louis knocked Houck out
of the box in the first inning and hit
Wyckoff hard. The locals scored five
runs in the first on singles by Shotton
and Pratt, two bases on balls, an error,
sacrifice fly and Briefs triple. In the
NTH singles by Williams, Brief and Wal
lace and sacrifice fly netted the locals
two more runs.
Philadelphia scored in the second on
Bakers double, an error and an infeld

singled and scored on Walshs triple.
The unusual spectacle of seeing UNI
pires reverse a decision three times came
up In the seventh inning. With two out

first. After fielding the ball, Brief fell
Umpire Ferguson called Oldring out and
then reversed his decision. St. Louis

ton Outlook Good

New York May 9.-Dun's review tomor-
row will say:
In spite of some curtailment of orders
for merchandise affected by pending tar
tff changes, the unusually favorable crop
conditions have resulted in a marked in
crease of confidence throughout the
south and west. The passage of the tariff
bill by the House of Representatives
brings the end of this element of un-
certainty measurably nearer. Meanwhile
1t is most encouraging fact that re-
ports from so cities show a gain in build
ing activity for April of l per cent, as
compared with the same month in 1912,
heavy decrease in New York city being
more than offset by gains elsewhere, par
ticularly at Chicago and at most points
in the west and on the Pacific slope. Pro-
duction of iron and steel continues to be
close to capacity, but new demands are
now less insistent, and deliveries are be-
ing made more promptly. In textile lines
warmer and more settled weather has
greatly improved the volume of retail
trade, although merchants are conserva-
tive in placing filing in orders. There is
moderate gain in the shoe trade, and
as stocks are generally low, it is easier

The point is, that such building must

Gentlemen, 1t is easily possible for the
shingle roofs in Birmingham to wipe the
city off the map. confagration start
ed in this city would be beyond the con-
troll OF the fire department or ANYTHING
else AS we all know, this was originally
boom town. In the early DAYS thev
could not erect buildings fast enough
Everybody was waiting for one to be fin
ished. They had no building code no
building inspector and nothing else. All
they wanted was building, and that's
what they got. AS a result, Birmingham
now leads the country in fire losses.
Carelessness Causes Many Fires
THE present building code is all right.
with the one exception of wooden
shingle roof ordinance. But in the mean
time all of us must resort to better
housekeeping. Many of the fires in Bir-
mingham are caused by nothing more
nor less than carelessness and indffer-
ence. The city is greatly hampered by
lack of funds, and yet in the last three
years over 100000 has been spent on the
fire department. The city commissioners.
the building inspectors department, and
hope 1t is not egotism to say the fire
department, is doing everything in their
power to keep down fire losses. The fire
department has been accused of many
things, but we never have been accused

Lets not let the insurance companies
give Birmingham a bad rating and cause
for complaint. The problem in a nut
shell is for each man to keep his own
place clean In one of the city's biggest
stores a motto has been adopted which
has been of great value. 1t Is: 'Today's
Fires Originate in Yesterdays Dirt. That
store is cleaned up every day. There
is no rubbish and scraps of paper and
a hundred ard one other things lying
about or tumbled into piles in a corner.
AS l said before, it is merely matter
of housekeeping In spite of the shingle
roofs we can greatly reduce our rire
loss"
MIR. Laird, Captain Manly and others
spoke along the same lines. Mr.. Laird
assured the assemblage of the co-opera-
ton of the state insurance department
in reducing fire losses in Birmingham and
all over the state. Captain Manly de-
elared the whole matter resolved itself
into a question of good citizenship.
Every fire is a crime" said Mr.. Manly,
lin some way or other ii can be traced to
a crime of some kind by somebody"
Before the public meeting began at
O clock the society and the local fire in
suranee agents of Birmingham held AN
informal meeting at which they dis
eussed the importance of an ordinance
prohibiting shngle roofs on building
erected in Birmingham In the future. A
committee will probably appear before
the commission in the near future with
this request. Speeches were made by K.
A. Brown, Charlie Terry, John Leedy
and others.

society is in itself explanatory and
means nothing more nor less than a
society for the prevention of fires in
Alabama. You will pardon me if |
seem to unnecessarily dwell upon this
point but the prevailing opinion among
the public is that any organization
composed of insurance men is neces-
sarily rate making body This is so
remote from our real purpose that our
constitution and bylaws provide
against the discussion of rates, COM
missions, local agents organizations or
any question not relating to the phys
ical side of fire prevention and protec-
ton of life and property. In fact. it is
necessary that this distinct line be
drawn four work in this direction is
to secure the best possible results
Until recent years our endeavors
have been to instruct you in tie best
methods of fire fighting, but seeing the
fire waste of our state increase wear
after year, we now propose to remove
the cause by the Introduction of better
building laws and ordinances as to are
of explosives, such as gasoline, oils
accumulation of trash and so forth,
and to impress upon your merchants
and manufacturers the duty they owe
not only to themselves but to the com
munty to safeguard their properly

cannot accomplish this work single
handed and we are here to appeal to
your better Judgment and not only to
enlist the cooperation of your city
officials and local agents but the en-
tire citizenship of Greater Birmingham
to secure the enforcement of these laws.
