STEEL PLANT WILL
 RESUME IN FULL { EARLY NEXT WEEK
Necessary Repairs Made Now Probably Saves Ln- other Cessation of De-
 partmentJ Later On

The departments at the steel plant which have been closed down for the past 10 days or more will be resumed carly next week.
 Preparations are being made by the of- Acers of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company to resume at that time It was the opinion that the idle part of the plant would resume tomorrow, but on account of some repairs necessary 1t was felt that 1t would be best to postpone the resumption until those repairs were made and thus obviate the necessity of a cessa- tion of operations sometime later in the fall
 During the past few idle days the de- partments closed down have been put into such shape as to render them even more efficient than heretofore, and it is the current belief that there has been saved a shutdown of greater length by this present3ne.
 This season is the first in the history of the local steel plant, where so little time has been lost during the summer months. As rule the plants are idle for some weeks every summer. The fact that so few1hys have been lost, and that the plant Is to resume next week is of the greatest interest here, and will go long way toward boosting the general com merciai situation. In the past few days shutdown very few men have been idle, as they were taken care of as far as pos- sible in other departments
 From an industrial point of view the situaNo is bettered

RAUL LUMBER PLANT
 WILL KEEP RUNNING
President Raul Hopes Neces- sity Will Not Arise for
 Cessation of Activities

The Kaul Lumber company plant nj Tuscaloosa will not be closed down soon and it is hoped that the neces- sity will not arise which would result i'll the cessation of operations thero even at a figure below the full ca pacity. This was a statement given out yesterday by John l. Raul, president, upon request, for 1t had been reported from Tuscaloosa that the plant was liable to be closed down on account of business conditions.
 'I hope that we will not have to close down our plant at Tuscaloosa said Mir. Kaul "Of course we can never tell what will happen But 80 far as the present situation is con cerneo we have no fears about closing down. We have orders on hand for some days yet and we have every req son to believe that we will secure q sufficient volume of orders to keep the plant running at It's capacity. I have no way of knowing how the report was started in Tuscaloosa that we con tenlplated such a step. 1 can say, how ever. that at this time there is abso- Iutely nothing to that report Bust ness while little dull is far from as bad as 1t might be and we are not bowed down with pessimism over the outlook. We hope for very cncour- aging volume of business and constant operations"

WARD WANTS FIRE
 INSURANCE FUND
Introduces Ordinance Call ing for Annual Payment
 of $5000 to Fund

By an ordinance introduced yesterday
 by Commission President George Ward,
 the city is virtually going into the fire insurance business for itself The ordi- nance provides for a fire insurance fund,
 and will do away with fire insurance
 premiums on all city property not under

In the course of five or six years this fund will have reached a considerable sum, enough to cover the losses of any fire which it is intended to cover, and the city will annually save the thousands of dollars 1t is now paying for fire in- surance.
 The ordinance follows:
 Section 1. There is hereby created fund to be known as ''the fire insurance fund"
 Sec. 9 That hereafter. on January l. 1915. and thereafter annually on Jan l there shall be paid out of the general fund into said fire insurance fund the sum of 5000.
 Sec. 3. Said fund shall be deposited in bank at interest and may be invested in bonds of the city of Birmingham or Jefferson county, Alabama.
 Sec. 1. Said fund is established for the purpose of repairing and replacing all public property destroyed by fire, ex- cept such buildings as are covered by mortgage or deed of trust, in which the city of Birmingham is obligated to carry fire insurance in some insurance conn pany.
 Sec. B. The city comptroller is the cus- todian of said fund. and the same shall be deposited in the name and to the credit of the city of Birmingham. and the same shall be disbursed by order of the board of commissioners.

The lawyers in the case agreed to leave the case in the hands of the eleven, and they entered into their deliberations. Promptly at o'clock the missing juror put in an appearance, smoking a cigar with evident enjoyment He was imme- diately seized upon and brought before Judge Smith for an explanation of his ac- tions.
 Judge, you told all the jurors that they were excused until o'clock, and ain't I a juror?
 You certainly are" replied his honor,
 and one that was much in demand couple of hours ago. You should have stayed with the gentlemen you have been associated with for the past day and half for owing to your absence they are deprived of your valabe aid and assist ance in reaching verdict in the case that you have heard tried, However, | am sure you made an honest mistake, and no great harm has been done. But should you be called upon for jury duty again, please remember that after the case has gone to them the jury must remain to- gether until verdict is duly and truly reached"

No man dared to permit a smile to brighten his countenance. Then the situation was serious. Time passed. Ev- 'efybody began to realize that it was simply a wind blowing-not a hurri- cane.

BUST is THAT OF AMERICAN
Identity Of Model, Long a Puzzle to
ParIslaRs, Has ut Last Been
Cleared UP.

The mysterious bust discovered in
the Boulevard do Ia Chapelle. Paris,
has at last been identified. Perched
on top of one-story shop like a senti-
mel on a chimney, 1t attracted only a
momeatary glance from the hurried
passer-by and was then forgotten.
Lincoln Warde, an American tourist,
recognized his countryman In this
oddly placed monument and is able
to give the details which follow. This
bust is Of the late William Smith
Garner. one-time member Of the board
Of trade OF Jacksonville. Fla, who
dedicated his fortune and his life to
the defense of the oppressed. After
his death a committee was formed to
erect a monument to him, and M.
Dreyfus. the president, engaged a
young American sculptor by the name
of Furgott. who was then living In
Paris, to make the bust.
