very little damage was done to adjacent
buildings.
A large amount of machinery was ir

At a late hour last night the origin of the
fire had not been discovered. but it is
supposed that someone threw a lighted
cigarette on the floor. 1t was stated that
all losses are covered by insurance.
night shift was at work in the oil
mill when the fire was discovered by
the night Waterman, and they worked
faithfully with the firemen in an effort
to extinguish the flames.
G. f. Thompson, one of the officials
of the company, was on the scene few
minutes after the alarm had been turned
in, and he also helped to conflne the
flames to the metal room. Mr. Thomp-
son highly praised the workmen and the
fremen for the bravery that was shown
by them in fighting the fire.
John Pope, the negro who was burned
to death, was employed as laborer. He
was in the metal room when the fire
started and was unable to get out.

Lovelady Explains Some
of Problems Before the
New Board

Jefferson county's new board of rev.
enue for the coming four years was
installed yesterday morning at 10
o'clock and a large crowd of specta-
tors was on hand. There was a pro-
longed outburst of applause when the
board filed into the room.
The first official act of the new
board was to elect Jere c. Gwin pres
ident The board now consists of Jere
c. Gwin, DR. r. F. Lovelady, Frank
A. Hewitt, DR.. J. B. Vines and Rufe
Bivins.
Dr. Love1ady, who has occupied the
position of president of the board for
the past four years, introduced the
resolution naming Mr.. Gwin as his
successors Dr. Vines seconded the mo-
ton.
DR.. Lovelady made a brief speech,
pointing out the fact that the prob
lens before the new body were num-
erous and complicated. He said that
100000 was to be paid on a $4,000
Indebtedness by the first of Febru-
ary. He stated that the county was
at present approximately $375,000 be-
hind on running expenses, all of which

house and jail is scheduled to be built
in Bessemer. After the first of the year
all the officials. with the exception of
the sheriff, will be paid salaries in
stead of fees. Half of the fees collect
ed from various offices during the
next two years must go into the fine
and forfeiture fund to redeem out
standing scrip.
DR.. Lovelady concluded his remarks
by saying that it was the purpose of
the members of the board to work in
absolute harmony and solve the prob
lens OF the county in the best way
possible.
Mr.. Gwin made short speech in
which he thanked the voters for their
confidence in him. DR.. Vines, II. A.

MOOSE MUST PAY
$4,000 FOR DEATH
OF DONALD KENNY
Supreme Court Upholds
Judgment for Man Who
Was Shocked to Death
During Initiation

Montgomery November 16.--(Special.
Because of the death of Donald A. Kenny
while being initiated into the Birmingham
lodge of Moose the supreme lodge of the
world, Loyal Order of Moose, must pay
$4,000 as damages to Thomas P. Kenny
administrator, under a decision of thS
supreme court Thursday. The supreme
court affirmed the judgment Of the Bir-
mingham city court.
Kenny and another candidate were cleo
trocuted while being initiated in 1873 the
contention being that two mechanical de-
vices were too heavily charged with cleo
tricity. Kenny's administrator sued the
local lodge, the officers of the local lodge
and the supreme lodge, but the lower
court held that the supreme lodge only
was responsible.
The supreme lodge attacked the verdict
on appeal the contention being that il
did not give its permission for the use
Of the mechanical devices in the initia-
ton. The supreme court held that the
local lodge, in accepting Kenny for in
itiation, was acting as agent for the ma
tional organization, and the national or
ganization was responsible for the acts
of the agent.
Another contention was that the ma
tional organization was a charitable cor
poration, because it operated a home foI
orphans of members but the supreme
court said it could not claim the rights
of a charitable organization because u
allowed it's subordinate lodges to operate
bar and counters and other devices fol-
making money, and did other things fol-
the advancement of it's members.
The only hope of the supreme lodge
now is to find an error ON which to take
the case to the United States supreme
court.
The action of the Alabama supreme
court in affirming a judgment of $1S,0Ot
against the supreme lodge of the world
Loyal Order of Moose, for the death o:
Donald Kenny, while being initiated il
the local lodge, recalls the sensation Gre
ated here when Kenny and another were
electrocuted three years ago.
There were several arrests made at the
time of the death of the two men. AT the
subsequent trials of those arrested all
held in connection with the deaths OF
the men were released.
Evidence at the time of the trial her5
showed that the men had met their death
through an overcharged electrical de-
vice used for shocking the candidates dur.
ing the initiation proceedings.
