WARRIOR 0F VITAL IMPORTANCE IN THE
 LOCAL COAL TRADE
Frank V. Evans Comments on the Problems to Be Overcome at New
 Orleans

The importance of the Warrior river to the Alabama coal trade becomes more and more important as the subject is studied mere thoroughly. The recent statement of Frank " Evans on the coal industry aroused great interest and Mr. Evans was asked yesterday particularly about the New Orleans market
 The Alabama coal operators cannot possibly increase the consumption of coal said MT. Evans. "They must, therefore, act in the capacity of competi- tors for trade and present volume of consumption. Unless they can win mar kets from other fields. there is little hope for increased business for the Alabama field To this end they are now turning special attention with a hope of final suc- cess. The application of electricity con- operators to this necessity of depending upon other than domestic markets for consumption of their products
 Pennsylvania. Kentucky and Illinois coal people are making desperate ef- fort to hold and command the trade at New Orleans. For bunker and export business there, harbor and local equip ment require immense investment. Such equipment for one company is said to cost about three-quarrers or a million dollars Tugs, @pples, barges and col Hers are all part of the scheme of coal handling through this port It all means big outlay to be in the big game. Pow erful corporations bring coal down a waterway to New Orleans over POGO miles from the headwaters of the Ohio and 400 miles from Kentucky. Although these corporations had mighty obstacles to overcome, they got over them with their immense capital and their big money is to be considered by any would-be com petitors.
 Alabama, however needing an outlet for it's coal, has already begun to equip at New Orleans and hopes for a fair part of the business; but it's competitors are wide-awake and the Alabama opera tors cannot presuppose that they can go in on shoestring. Time alone can dem onstrate the outcome of strong competi- ton between the other interests and the Alabama operators in their efforts to de- velop New Orleans into a real, live and active bunker and export port for coal. Neither expects to be showed aside when the time comes, but 1t is going to cost something to sit in the game
 ''It is quite plain that Alabama coal must depend upon Warrior river naviga- ton to reach tidewater, for a considera- ton of railroad carriage in competition with the middle west is out of the ques- ton. Hence the importance of attention to the Warrior river It is going to take time and money to provide boats, barges, wharves and tipples for a real utilization of the Warrior river. and patience must be applied in the premises hy the waiting Alabama interests-opera- tors, miners merchants and developers"

adopted to prevent their use, should be 8 stimulus to other cities to follow suit and prohibit the use of these spreaders of fires.
 Another important lesson from the Paris fire is the necessity for closing or protecting with wire glass standard shutters all exposed openings overlooking alley ways or buildings of lesser height to prevent the entrance of a fire from building opposite. ~~e
 The closing or trapping of well holes, stairways and elevators will assist the fire department to oonfine fire to the building in which it originated
 The meeting of the Alabama Fire Pre- vention society here tomorrow will be at tended by about 40 men from different parts of the state as well as by a large number of local men. The principal busi- ness will have to do with the recent southern fires and the steps which should be taken in Alabama in view of the les sons learned from these confiaerations.

ITEMS FROM OVER THE STATE

Cullman-The cold wave which struck Cullman last Saturday and Sun day nights has left signs that there will be heavy loss to the fruit grow CTS of this county for the present year. The apple crop and the peach crop were both badly damaged. The early crop of both fruits is practically safe, but the late bloomers have suffered The total loss will amount to 25 to 40 per cent. German strawberry raisers states that this crop is very badly dam aged, the early crop being almost en- tirely destroyed by the severe weather.
 New Decatur-T F. Matthews of At talla today announced that he will erect a big cotton compress here at a cost of s75,000. The plant will employ 50 men, and will be working by Sep tember '. A lot of two and one-half acres near the Tennessee river has been bought for the compress. This will give the city two congresses, which are expected to bring so much new cotton here that the city will be the largest cotton center in Alabama Only Montgomery and Selma excel this city as cotton center now. The near est cotton compress to this city is at Corinth, Miss.
 MouItrie-J c. Kumpe of this place and c. C. Sherrod of Courtland, can didates for probate judge of Lawrence county, will enter into series of joint debates over the county to begin on April IS, at Hillsboro and continuing three weeks. Candidates for the other county offices will accompany them on their rounds, thus making lively campaign.
 Se1ma-Official reports from the churches of the city show that 10S1 men attended services Sunday morning, more than half of the men of Selma.

Something Better

|From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Alex Schlapp of the Krenning- |schlapp Grocer company tells this one, which was related to him by friend: One of his friends little girls was naughty recently, and his wife sent |her and her little sister, who had also been in mischief, to bed early. Relenting somewhat after they had |gone to their room, the father crept |up to the room to see if all was well land got there in time to hear the fol- lowing as both the children knelt at their bed:
 Give us this day our daily bread 7 |said the older. Just at this point the |tiny youngster broke into the prayer, |saying:
 Strike him for cake. sister,"

The heavy attendance was the result of a strenuous campaign waged by mem bers of the Mems Bible Class federal tion.
 Troy-Monday night Helen Keller gave lecture here at the City School auditorium, under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid society of the Methodist Episcopal church. Her subject was Happiness" and the lecture was un- usually interesting throughout Mrs. Macy preceded Miss Keller in an inter- esting account of how she became her teacher and her methods of instructing the then deaf, blind and dumb girl. A very large audience was present. After the lecture an informal recep- tion was held and many met Miss Kel- Ter and Mrs. Macy.
 New Decatur-Rewards already ag- gregating more than $100 were of fered today for the miscreants who strewed the principle streets of the city with large roofing tacks, one inch long and with head so large that the tacks would stand end up. Hundreds of autos, in fact. almost every car in the city, are at local garages today as result of punctures and torn places where they ran over the tacks. It was reported here this afternoon that a systematic effort to ruin automobiles is being made today in other north Alabama cities. notably Athens, by a party of unknown men in a fast car The police have no clues.
 MoultOn-People continue to talk about the reported discovery of phos- phate in the mountains south of here. The mineral right on 160 acres recently sold for $2000. The land in itself is not worth over $2 per acre.

Against Large Families

From the New York Evening Post.
 With Theodore Roosevelt's plea for large families Henry James had no pa- tience. He inclined toward the French idea of small families, which he thought, indicated intelligence and progess It was while he was a vis- itor here that he told this story:
 "T once knew a man named Thomp. son who had IA children. Thompson agreed one spring holiday to take his children to the seashore for the week end They set off. reached the sta tion, got their tickets and were about to board the train when Thompson was roughly collared by policeman.
 Here, wot "a you bin a-doin' of?' the policeman growled fiercely.
 "Me? Nothing. Why? stammered Thompson. The policeman waved his truncheon toward the Thompson fam fly.
 Then what the blazes,' he hissed, is this here crowd a-follerin' yer fury"

THE MONEY MARKET GAN EASILY CARE FOR THE BIG BOND ISSUES New York City Is to Float $55,0OO,009 Next Week
 of 4 1-4s SHOWS STRENGTH
 OF WHOLE NATION Exemption From Taxes Is Making State and Municipal Bonds
 Specially Attractive to
 Investors
By HOLLAND

New York; April 11.-(Special.) )-Un- doubtedly the financial department of New York city was fairly well informed respecting the market for the s55, 5,0OO, 900 of bonds which are to be sold next week The presumption is always strong that when the city authorities contemplate approaching the market for the purpose of placing great blocks of bonds they have some understanding-it may be wholly informal and in no sense binding which assures them that they will have no difficulty in marketing these bonds.
 There are two or three features asso- ciated with this 1916 marketing of New York city bonds which leaders in the financial district speak of as of especial consequence at this time. First of all they say that in spite of the fact that the financiers have provided many millions on account of our foreign and domestic obli- gations and that they will undoubtedly take up the contemplated issue of s55, coo, 600 of New York bonds, nevertheless there appears not to have been and is not now the slightest effect upon the money mar ket.
 When New York state recently mar keted a large issue of bonds, those who had been buying rights which would have entitled them to receive the bonds after the state sold them discovered that they were in bad box. The bonds were sold and yet none of them could afterward be secured by any of those who were anx- ious to get some. The explanation was that William Rockefeller, George r. Ba- ker and perhaps one or two others had taken over the whole issue and placed the bonds in their safe deposit vaults. where they will remain as income producers.
 Had there not been publication of the fact that New York state had sold a large block of bonds, no one would have received a hint of this transaction from the action of the money market.
 Recently Canada marketed almost upon the instant a block of the face value of $5,000,000, and only a few days after this transaction J. P. Morgan & Go. sent a check through the clearing house in pay ment for the entire issue. The transac- tion did not cause a money market ripple. Several of the greater domestic industries have with celerity marketed large blocks of bonds, and now comes New York city with an offering of s55,000,090. The impress sion in the financial district today is strong that this issue will be at once ab- corbo6

THE COUNTRY IS STRONG

Recently, one who is numbered among the leading internati tional financiers said that the financial situation in the United States at the present time is very strong. Nowhere is there discovered a sign of weakness, except the lurking danger of imitation of the currency. Now, the trans action between New York city and those who will buy bonds next week will dem onstrate the truth of this statement. The bonds will bear only A per cent interest, and that is improvement in the city credit as compared with the interest rate nOmi- mated in the bonds which were sold last year-41a per cent. It may be, therefore, that within a year or two New York's credit will have so increased. that she may market her bonds at per cent all though it will probably be a long time be- fore her credit has advanced so greatly that she will be able to market bonds whose interest rate is 31a per cent, as she did in 1904 and 1905.
 It is assumed that if the credit of New
