opening yesterday is sure to prove very
popular with the younger set.
Everything In the new store impresses
visitors with the idea of neatness. There
is very little woodwork. as the furnish

What little woodwork there is is of ma
hogany, which sets off neat color

walls of green and white. There are mir

covered with attractive designs, and the
place is illumined by the indirect lighting
system.
The store is well stocked with all the

OCTOBER FIRE LOSS
UNUSUALLY SMALL
In 1877 Alarms and Fires
$12,861.05 Is Lost
BIG VALUE AT RISK
Department Ran 217s Blocks, Laid
Out 23,65G Feet of Hose, Raised
2100 Feet of Ladders and Used
7O2 Gallons of Chemicals

A fire loss OF si2,s61.05, fraction over
one-half of ! per cent of the property
at risk, was shown yesterday when the
monthly fire report for October of
Chief A. V. Bennett was submitted ID
the president of the city commission.
The report shows the smallest fire loss
for period OF 30 days In years.
Though the fire loss was negligible
the department was kept extremely
busy by the numerous fire alarms.
There were 127 alarms, of which 1872
were telephoned in. Tho great major
ity Of the fires resulted from sparks on
the shingle roofs.
A feature of the blazes of the past
month was the great value at risk.
There was $2.142,04920 worth of prom
erty at risk in the various fires.
1--WE were fortunate in having q very
small fire loss last MONTH" said Chief
A. V. Bennett yesterday, but there
were a great many runs, most of which
were due to the sparks on the shinglo
roofs However, the city ordinance
forbidding the use of shingles viii
soon end that source of fires.
"At this time of the year there are
always a great many alarms, as, for
instance, so far this month / believe
we have had as many as there were
during the entire month of October
These numerous alarms are principally
due to the cold weather which neces-
states the lighting OF fires and thus
the danger of many small blazes. A
dropped match here, a defective flue
there and ashes in a wooden receptacie
all contribute to make the life of tho
firemen anything but bed of roses
The fire report for October follows
in detail.
Hon George y. Ward. President
Board of Commissioners, City:
Dear Sir-P1ease find herewith nv
report for the month ending October
81, 1913.
"The department responded to 1877

Rev. IL. G.. Compton. pastor of the

tion Of G. Barry Foreman and Grady
Foreman of Springville, who are held
for the killing OF II. c. Compton, Jr..
son of the Texas pastor. Mr.. Compton
employed John w. Altman to assist the
st. Clair county solicitor.
( Mr.. Compton said he had been deeply
touched by the expi essions of sympathy
extended him at Springville on the
death OF his 18-year- old son and that
relatives of the two men charged with
the killing had been as sincere as other
citizens in lamenting the tragedy.
+ Young Compton, known, as Connie
Compton,, was killed Z at Springville
Wednesday evening by G. b. Foreman
and his nephew, Grady Foreman, fol-
lowing a dispute about dog.
The affair was witnessed by IS of
the best known people of Springvillo,
and without a single exception they
pronounce the killing inexcusable." said
Mr. Compton. GRADY Foreman drew a
pistol on my son, who threw Grady
down and took the pistol away from
him. While he was holding Grady down
with one hand he held the pistol up
with the other to keep 1t out of Grady s
reach when Bory Foreman came up
and hit the boy on the head with his
pistol, from behind, and then fired -four
shots into my boys breast The pistol
in my boys hand went off but not until
he was fatally wounded, for the doc
tors said any one of the shots would
have caused death
II came from Texas to the funeral
which was held Friday. and have
as were paid to my sons character and
good name.'
The Rev. Mr.. Compton was in an out
ragged state of mind last night over the
affair, but stated that the law would
be allowed to take its course.
The two men charged with the kill
ing are now in jail at Gadsden. Their
preliminary hearing will be held IN
Springville next Thursday morning al
8 o'clock.

case was received last night from Gads-

1t Is expected that nearly every child in
Birmingham will be at the zoo this after
noon to see Miss Fancy" If the weather
man is kind. Already Miss Fancy has
made an enormous "hit" with the kiddies
of Birmingham, and they are becoming
better friends every day. The little ones
at first stood slightly in awe of the great
beast, but since she has become a ia
miliar sight at the zoo they are growing
less and less afraid of her and are be-
ginning to look upon her as pet in the
best sense of the word.
Every afternoon the children are on
the outlook for Miss Fancy" and when
she appears there is a shout of joy and
the lSddies make rush in her direction.
They climb on her and feed her grass,
peanuts apples and other dainties with 4
holdness that would have caused aston
ishn,ent a week ago.

Judge A. o. Lane. commissioner OF pub
lie justice, Will go to Montgomery Mon
day in an effort to dissuade the governor
from his present intention of not conven-
ing the legislature In extraordinary aes-
sion.
He will represent the commission, each
member of which is firmly convinced that
for the good OF the municipal government.
an extra session Is imperative.
The consensus of opinion in Birmingham
end Jefferson county is that special
session is essential at this time. Practi-
cally all members of the Jefferson county
legislative delegation are insisting that
the legislature be called together.
The majority of the other members who
have spoken are inslstant that the law
makers be convened.
Ward Breaks Silence
Yesterday, In expressing his opinion in
regard to the necessity of q special ses-
sion of the legislature. Commissioner
George b. Ward broke his long silence
He authorized the following statement,
the first which he has made since assum-
ing the presidency CT the commission:
ut is necessary that Birmingham in
sist on an extraordinary session of the
legislature.
Birmingham is the principal city of the
state, and Jefferson county the principal
county of the state. The two play yeo-
man part In supporting the state.
But these are not the chief reasons
why Governor O'Neal should, at the in
together.
.'The financial condition of the city of
Birmingham is deplorable and can only
be remedied through more direct taxes.
This increase cannot be procured without
legislative action. 1t would be very un-
wise to postpone that action. for not only
is relief necessary, but instant relief is
necessary.
Credit at Stake
THE financial credit of Birmingham Is
at stake. This should be enough to cause
the assembling OF the legislators. Br-
mingham desires to grow, to shake off
its swaddling clothes. 1t cannot do SO
without relief which is to be obtained only
from the legislature.
Il believe thai Governor O'Neal when
he is made thoroughly acquainted with
conditions in Birmingham, will reach a
conclusion that his abandonment of an m
tention to cali the legislature together was
unwise
Should the go ernor continue in his de-
termination not call the lawmakers to-
gether, the city of Birmingham, through
it's official se' nts. and its influential
people, should use tact and diplomacy in
strong, dete' mined effort to secure that
which is requisite for the further growth
and con- nued prosperity of this city.
The problem Is one for the citizens to
solve. H., Birmingham retrograde to
