YESTERDAY BUSY
 DAY FOR F|REMEN
Residence, of B. N. Loftin Destroyed = MakemsOn
 Residence Damaged

The tiremen of the city were remark ably busy all day yesterday. More than 20 fires were reported. and runs were made to practically all of the residence sections. In most instances firemen were on the scene before much headway had been made by the blazes. and the damage proved only slight Two or three fires, however, proved costly.
 The first serious fire occurred in West End at about a. m., when the residence of D. N. Loftin. 121 Oak street, was re- ported ablaze. This blaze proved some- what spectacular, and the building, valued at 5000, was almost a total loss. The loss, 1t is stated, is well covered by in- surance. The fire department report states that the blaze had gained great headway when the engines arrived, and although a hard fight was made. all eff forts to get the fire under control proved unsuccessful
 The cause of the fire has not been defi- nitely determined, but the indications are said to point to defective electric wiring. When the building. which was a one- story frame affair, had been almost con- stunned by the flames a loud explosion oc- cured shooting the flames hundreds oi feet into the air. On investigation 1t was found that the hot water tank had been exploded by the intense heat -SC one was injured.
 The second loss occurred at 1925 Thir- tieth street, north, when the residence of William Makemson was badly dam- aged in blaze that Wat. reported al 1:50 p. m. The loss is said to aggregate about $1500. The damaged building is owned by E. T. Moore. Captain Fay. Tor of the Norwood fire department was painfully injured in the course of the fire a stream of water from a fire hose strik- ing him full in the face. One of his eyes was badly injured, and he was throwr violently to the ground by the force ol the stream.
 The residence of W. H. Gillespie, 162l Fourteenth avenue, south, was also en. dangered by a blaze, occurring last night but firemen were successful in extinguish. ing the flames before much headway had been gaired. The damage sustained if estimated at $200.
 The other fires reported resulted in veE slight damage. The most of them origi. mated from sparks falling on the roofs.

DR, DENNY HERE ID
 SEE EDR. 1. [. MORRIS
Says University Authorities Hope to Start Work Soon
 on Dispensary

Dr. George H. Denny, president of the University of Alabama, arrived here yes- terday afternoon to confer with Dr. Lewis c. Morris relative to the dispensary which has been decided upon for Blrming- ham. The free hospital is to be located and erected on site adjoining the Hill man hospital and last year when the cam paign for it's erection was waged the peo- pie of Birmingham made very large sup- scriptions.
 Dr. Denny said last night that he was here solely for the purpose of conferring with pr. Morris relative to the dispen- sary and would see if work could not pc started sometime soon.
 ''Dr. Morris and I will confer about the free dispensary while I am here,' said Dr. Denny yesterday. T came up to see him about starting work on that buiid- ing, and I am inclined to think that he will be able to start work within very short time. The free dispensary is very greatly needed here. and I hope we will be able to get started within the next few months At the university everything Is getting along in fine shape. We have all excellent outlook and we are all en- couraged over the situation.

CONNECTS SHOW GRATITUDE
ny CHARLES H. MANDY

Since the inauguration of the system of working the county oonviots on the pub lie roads. there have been many expres- sions of appreciation from visitors to the various camps of the humane manner in which the board of revenue treats the convicts and the excellence of the work the., are doing on the roads of the coun- ty. On visiting any of the half c dozen camps one Is impressed with the physi- cal cleanliness of the convict the sani- tary condition of the camps and sleep Ing quarters and the wholesomeness and abundance of the food supplied.
 The board of revenue believes that hu- mane treatment brings the best results both as to quality and quantity of work performed and the reformation of the convict, which after all is the main pur- pose of the punishment performed. and past experiences have fully borne out their belief
 Heretofore, the statements relative to the convict camps have come from white
 citizens who have interested themselves In this matter. It might be of interest to quote the statements of some of the
  general treatment while detained tenn porary wards of the county.
 Recently eight convicts who had been working out their various sentences at the convict camp near Alton, of which Capt. R. l.. Houlihan Is in charge, were liberated, their time having expired. After bathing and putting on clean linen. they were given their freedom and told to "de- part in peace and sin no more." They asked permission to speak to Captain Houlihan and made statements almost verbatim as follows: John Phillips. a one l legged negro, was the first to speak | .capen, I wants to thank yo' an tht revenue board for treatin' us so good yo' give us lots to eat and good place | to sleep. l would have got out before

 Interest Centered in O'Neal
 Interest Is centered in the testimony which Governor O'Neal will offer. Chair man Merritt stated last night that every witness was required to tell everything that he knew on any subject, and that the committee was not bound by any rules of evidence. It is taken, therefore, that the governor will be asked concern ing many subjects, and that he will re- main on the witness stand for several hours.
 Inasmuch as all that the committed has done to date has concerned the pre- ceding administration, Governor O'Neal, as the head of that administration, is ex- pected to furnish the climax of the dra-

It was also stated that if guilty, he ought to be punished. The discussion was temperate and conservative and marked by the absence of criticism.

matic situation. According to general be- lief the committee has been working up to the point at which it has practically arrived-that is, cross-examning the for mer governor. It is generally understood, too, that the former governor has forti- fled himself against the grilling by long consultations with legal advisers, espe- cially R. B. Evins of Greensboro, and Maj. R. E. Steiner of Montgomery.
 It would cause little surprise were Gov ernor ONeal to take the stand in the morning. Chairman Meritt said last night that no witness had been directed to ap- pear at any certain hour, and that he could not tell to the momeSr when either of the gentlemen would take the stand. He expects, however, two of the former governors to appear early in the morn ing. MT. Conner is spending vacation in Florida.
