disorganized Russia. Dispatches
from the Ruso-German boundary
announce that thousands OF the con-

 The gas consumption of Friday and yesterday was way above normal more than 5o0,00O feet of gas being used, and this lessened the reserve stock to such extent that it was necessary for the holders to be restocked.
 Our reserve supply is low" MT. Pe- year stated yesterday, because of two or three accidents at the plant. Condi- tions there have been rectified, and our entire force is going full blast. But the reserve supply in the holders is ex- hausted and we are unable to replenish it, because the gas is being used rap- idly we make it. We have reduced the pressure from five inches to three inches and it is barely possible we may reduce it even further, as the city ordinance permits us to keep it as low as two inches.
 If the people will use just as little gas as possible. long enough for us to get our reserve supply back to normal, we will be able to restore the five inches of pressure. This should be done by Sunday noon, provided everyone exercises the greatest possible economy in using gas.

Plans are being made for meet ing of the Alabama Good Roads asso- citation to be held either in Birming- ham or Montgomery sometime dur ing the present month for the purpose of formulating legislation which the legislature will be asked to pass at the session which begins one week from tomorrow.

CAPT. EMERY RICE PNEUMONIA VICTIM Made Al Voyages Across At lantic and Commanded First Ship to Sink
 U-BOat
By Associated Press

New York, January 4.-Capt. Emery Rice, who commanded the Mongolia, the first American steamship to sink a Ger man submarine, and who made fl voy- ages across the Atlantic during the war, died today at the New York Navyyard hospital of pneumonia following influ- enza- He was i'll only a week.
 Captain Rices distinguished sea record dates back, many years. As quarter master on the scout ship Harvard during the Spanish American war, he wig wagged from the bridge of that vessel the signal which brought Rear Admiral Sampson at full speed to attack Admi- ral Cerveras squadron. Later he was decorated by the Emperor of Japan for rescuing the crew of five from an over turned sampan in the Yellow sea at a risk to his own vessel far greater than the unwritten law of the sea required.
 There was not an ocean or sea he had not sailed and besides witnessing the departure of the British expeditionary force for the Transvaal during the Boer war, he was in the transport service dur ing the China-Japan conflict and the Russo Turkish war.
 He. was born in Boston 40 years ago.
