A minority report from the gas,

be brought in by Aid. Charles Mer-
RAM, asking the council to get back
of fair count of the subscribers Of
the automatic system. Under an
order from the city council, the city
department of public service. headed
by Montague Ferry, is making
count of automatic subscribers. The
franchise of the automatic company
says that the company must have TO-
900 "bona-fide" subscribers or its
property is forfeited" to the city.
Members of the Penny Phone league
and Is other civic, political and
labor organizations came before the

serve without pay. The fifth one,
reputable professional accountant,
should be paid by the city.
Against this demand the argu-
ment is made that we are throwing
a shadow of suspicion and distrust
over the work of the department of
public service. The truth is that we
are doing exactly the thing that will
help the departments reputation and
its future work. 1t was distinctly
stated by Harriet Vittum of the Wom-
ans City club, and John Fitzpatrick,
president of the Chicago Federation
of Labor, that this auditing commit
tee will open the doors and gain pub

ENGLAND FEARS A
GRAVE CRISIS ON
IRISH QUESTION
SUNDAY, HOWEVER,, PASSED
WITHOUT DISTURBANCE OR RI.
OTING IN BELFAST.
KING FAyORS CANCELLATION
British Ruler Holds Conference With
Minister to Discuss the Report of
Disaffection and Trouble.

LONDON, March 23.-The dreaded
Sunday passed without the slightest
disturbance in Belfast or in Ulster.
But the gravity of the crisis is fully
indicated by the fact that the king
cancelled his intended week end visit
to the earl and countess of Derby at
Liverpool The king and queen also
|cancelled their proposed visits to the
races on Thursday and to the grand
national race on Friday.
The king has thrown his influence
earnestly on the side of Cancellation,
and seems to have made personal
appeal to the officers, who had resolv-
ed to resign rather than face the pos
sibility of being called upon to fight
in Ulster; and it may be taken for
granted that the king is equally exert
ing his influence with the ministers
in the same conciliatory direction.
Proofs are mot wanting of the de-
sire on both sides that everything
possible should be done to avoid any
chance of conflicts. The nationalist
have abandoned their proposed pa
rade at Londonderry, and Sir Edward
Carson, the Ulster unionist leader,
continues to voice his desire to do
his utmost to avoid provocative acts
The government announces that all
intended movements of troops in Ire
land have been completed, but this
may be decision necesHtated by the
threatening designations of officers.
Apparently no further actual resigna-
tons have been offered. Numerous
questions on this and cognate matters
are to be asked in parliament tomor-
row and should bring forth reliable
information on what at present is a.
somewhat obscure subject, owing to
the heat of party feeling.
AS a result of a meeting of the
party leaders Andrew Bonar Law will
move the adjournment of the house
with a view to securing a discussion
of the whole situation.
The prime minister conferred for an
hour with the king today, and the ut.
most activity prevails in all govern
ment quarters. Among the political
leaders, however, the situation is con-
sidered more favorable.

Three children of Mr.. and Mrs. Bud
Fly, of Knob Creek, about ten miles
out from Columbia on the Theta pike,
were burned to crisp Sunday morn
ing about four o'clock in fire that
completely destroyed the residence
and came near burning the rest of
the family. Their names and ages
were Harris, II, Margaret, 9, and Eu-
nice, 6.
The death of the children was one
of the most horrible catastrophes
that has happened in the history of
the county. They were sleeping to-
gether in a room upstairs which ad-
joins the fue in which the fire origi-
mated Their screams awakened Eliz-
abeth, the oldest dauhter, who was
sleeping down stairs in the same room
as her parents. She awakened her
father and mother, who with the
youngest child only three years old,
barely got out of the house in time to
escape the same fate as the children
upstairs. Mr.. Fly tried to go up to
the rescue of the three children up
stairs, but was driven back at the
head of the steps by the flames. He
then rushed down stairs, placed lad
der by the side of the house and tried
to make his entrance to the room in
which the children were. He was
unable to get in because of the flames
which had killed the children by that
time, as not a sound could be heard
from them.
Mrs. Fly was hurt in getting out of
the house. She fell on the steps, but
was not seriously injured. The other

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March I'll
The long-expected election of third
member Of the state board Of cleo
ton commissioners came late Friday
night, with the unanimous selection
of Charles H. King, of Jackson, by the
electing committee, composed Of w.
P. Hickerson, Geo. P. Woollen and R.
r. Sneed. The completed board,
composed of Judge Sam Young, of
Dixon Springs, J. r. Penland, of Knox
vile, and Charles H. King, of Jack.
son, is now ready to order elections
and carry on the business of county
election commissioners. In politics,
the new member is democrat.
The election of Mr.. King came as
a surprise. Few political events of
recent months have aroused more
public interest than the vacancy on
the board and speculation has been
rife for the past several months.
Many suggestions have been made by
prominent state politicians as to the
filling of the place some contending
that democrat should be selected
and others an independent democrat
The three members of the commit
tee met at room 269 of the Maxwell
House and the selection of Mr.. King
was made short while later. Accord
ing to statements given out later in
the night there was no friction among
the members as to the selection and
in fact the name of the Jackson man
was the only one proposed at the
meeting
Shortly after the meeting Mr.. King
gave out a statement in which he de-
clared, Il have no axe to grind as a
member of the election board, no
friends to reward or enemies to pun
ish. l shall be neither the friend or
the foe Of any political faction or clan
in Tennessee and shall seek to serve
solely ana alone the electorate OF Ten
nessee." He also promises equal rep
resentation to both elements of the
democratic party.
Mr.. King has been prominent in
Jackson politics for several years. AL
though only forty-four years old, he
has been for years chairman of the
election commission of Madison county
and was for two years chairman of the
governing board of the democratic ex-
ecutive committee of Madison county.
Mr.. King is now trustee of the Car
negie library of the city of Jackson
and has been for twelve years val
ued employee of the G. H. Robertson
Company OF Jackson.
