HOLMAN SPEAKS ON .PREVENT|0NO OF FIRES
Government Representative Urges United Effort in
 Removing Cause

E. T. Holman, representing the war de- partment at Sheffield to see that the nitrate works at that point are protected from accidental fire or other causes, ad- dressed the committee of chairmen of the Civic association yesterday at lunch con.
 MT. Holman spoke of the many plants being built at Sheffield and of the huge amount of money being expended by the government there. He said it would be most fortunate, with all the great con struction with inflammable materials If it escapes without serious fire. The government is building on it's own sites houses of standardized structures with a certain amount of space between, the construction work being designed with an idea of stemming any fire. Ninety per cent of fires, even during war times can be prevented if the people are eda- cated to take the necessary precautions
 We cannot lay too much stress on the necessity of all civic organizations and the people in general in clearing out all rubbish and inflammable trash in the effort to prevent fire waste and save all unnecessary construction and assist tn the prosecution of the war, which is the governments only business at present.
 A. R. Dearborn, chairman of the com- mittee to raise funds for the Alabama Girls Training school, reported that plans are being made for the campaign, which will begin in a few days.

FUEL SITUATION CONTINUES ID BE VERY SERIOUS ONE Garfield Expresses Hope, However, That Heatless Mondays May Yet Be
 Abandoned

Washington, February b. Danger of widespread suffer ing from lack of coal still IS imminent, fuel administration officials declared tonight In an nouncing officially the contln- uance of the Monday closing order.
 State fuel administrators nave re- ported that thousands of homes m New York and other cities of the east and middle west have no coal' and cannot get it in sufficient quan- titles to make living conditions pear able.
 Tbis situation, coupled with today $ railroad administration report that freight and coal movement was ali most at a standstill both yesterday and today in the east, prompted fuei Administrator Garfield to announce thar "the possibility of human suffer ing is too imminent to permit any relaxation in the present efforts to conserve and increase the existing sup ply of eoal.'
 pr. Garfield expressed the hope however that after next week rail road freight embargoes and preferen- tial coal delivery orders may be used as substitutes for heatless Mondays to effect coal saving.
 Tt is hoped he said, that with the shutdown on Monday, February Ii, and the closing in many states on the day following, Lincoln's birthday, it will be possible thenceforth to rely upon embargoes and the preference in movement of food and fuel ordered by the director general of railroads"
 The fuel administration is consd- ering issuing request that all in dustries and business houses suspend operations next Tuesday, Lincoln's birthday.
 Officials were convinced that the industrial suspension has been effi- cacious in actually saving fuel in quantities, and that the consumption at other<times has not been increased by the temporary shutdown. Without attempting to measure the results by comprehensive statistics, officials cited the report of the national committee on gas and electric service that in 29 large cities gaa and electric com- panies saved from 21 to 25 per cent of their normal coal consumption on the five-day suspension period be- tween January IT and g, and on the heatless Mondays. These public util- itIeS were said to furnish a fair in- dex of the general saving. State and local fuel administrators reported to- day that hundreds of manufacturing plants are using their last days emer- gency supply of coal without imme- diate prospects of obtaining more. Tn many cities householders besiege rail- road yards to get few bushels of the coal from the cars that came trickling in over railroads crippled by yesterdays blizzard.

Commission Grants Picture Show Operators More Time-Referendum Is
 Being Discussed

Francis B. Latady, attorney for the Mudd-Colley Amusement company and the Strand Theatre company, yester- day secured postponement of the hearing before the city commission on the question of a continuation of the operation of the motion picture houses on Sunday. from this morning to next Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, when the picture show operators will be heard.
 It was agreed by the. commission that the picture show men would not sufficient time to prepare their side of the case to be presented before the commission, following the action taken on Tuesday, and they were granted the time asked, for this reason.
 Motion picture show operators are seemingly undecided as to whether they will ask for a referendum on this question, in case the city commission decide to disallow further Sunday op- erations, but it is believed that this will be the next move taken by them in case they are ordered to close up on Sunday. It will take a petition signed by 1500 qualified voters of the city to compel the commission to call refer endum vote of the people on any issue

 In order that the candidates may he somewhat prepared for the ordeal, the following instructions have been issued for their careful perusal:
 Don't worry it's no use, and pro duces nothing better than bald pates, wrinkled brows and sprinkled hair. No use taking out an accident insurance policy, for the time Is short and the extra hazardous rates border on the prohibitive, anyway. The laughing time may come later-this time it will be your particular business to hold on.
 Keep in mind the watchword of the day-be prepared.
 The scar which the branding iron makes will never show-that is if you keep your shirt on. Give the degree team the once over every once Tn awhile, for believe us. they are always keyed up and will bear watching.
 Think twice before you speak, then only whisper 1t to yourself.
 Don't cuss, because cussing don't get you nowhere and besides your guide will finally land you where you ought to go. You will probably call to mind the old score-the Indian scalps his ene- mics, the pale face skins his friends. It might be wise for you to practice walking on the hot cookstove before at tempting the pilgrimage across the hot sands.
 All farewell messages must be Tn writing, so that the director won't get them mixed up.
 If in great pain. why yell, nothing will please the faithful more than to know their efforts are being appre- ciated.
 '.As last word-hang on to the rope at any and all times-you may have intimate friends but don't let them dis suade you from the performance of a solemn duty at critical timo in your eventful career. It will be your time to laugh when you learn the ropes. lu the meantime-hang on.''

 S. P. Burge. owner of the store. who set the trap, was given a brief hearing before Judge Abernethy yesterday morning and released on bond until his preliminary hearing, which was set for February 15.
 Burge told of how he had set the trap. He placed the shotgun on a chair facing the cash register. about 10 feet away. Strings were attached to the gun and cash register so as to caus~ the gun to fire when the cash register was opened. The shell was loaded with fine bird shot
 Sergeant Brent and Officer Kemp, who found Bottrell in the store dead. testified about the wound, and the de- tails of the scene when the shooting occurred. A large pistol, which was de- clared not to be Bottrelfs, was found by his body.
 That the store was being robbed is without question. The side door had been prized open, and quantity of medical supplies, cigars, candy and alcohol was on the soda fountain counter, ready for removal.
