TUSCALOOSA

Tuscaloosa, September 22.--(Special)
 Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock a fatal
 shooting scrape took place between
 two well known white men at the Ala
 hama Great Southern depot. Claude Lindsay and Jim Simpson were the prin-
 eipals in the affair. Earlier in the day
 they had had trouble over craps game,
 it is alleged, and when they met al the
 depot in the afternoon commenced to
 talk over the matter again. Simpson
 was going north of Greensboro avenue,
 pushing a biclcle, while Lindsay was
 coming south in an autom obile. When
 they saw each other both stopped and
 renewed the quarrel of the morning, it is stated, when Simpson drew his gun from his bosom, but Lindsay was the
 handler with his gun and shot first, two balls entering the right side of Simpson, who fell to the ground with his bicycle on top of him. Simpson shot at Lindsey several times one of the balls taking effect in Linsey's ankle. Simpson was removed to the Druid City infirnary, where he died at 8 I o'clock. Lindsay is in jail, awaiting the action of the courts in the matter. myste shooting occurred Sun ] day afternoon In a pasture Dack or MrS. | Pride's residence, near Thomas circle. l Olive Nuckles, a 13-year-o1d white boy, and four companions were sitting down in the pasture playfully tossing pebbles as they laughed and chatted together.
 The crack of a gun was heard by the four boys and young Nuckles was seen
 to topple ever on the ground, with a
 ball in one of his eyes, which produced instant death.
 Some two weeks ago young Nuckies had 16-year-old boy by the name of Henry Weston arrested for short
 changing him, and the negro was con- victed in the police court. The sherifrs office is acting oh the theory that this boy may have had something to do with shooting the young white boy from a ravine near by and have had warra mt sworn out for him and placed him in jail

DISCUSS MOVEMENT
 FOR CHURCH FUNDS
Plans May Call for Free Will Offering by Episco-
 pal Church

A movement .o raise as yet an unde- termined amount Of money in the United States by the Episcopal church, to be used for religious eou-etion, missionary work and the social service work which the church IS undertaking, was started in Birmingham last night with a meeting at St. Andrews church. An invitation was extended to the genera. public of every denomination to attend and a large crowd was present.
 The principal speakers were Dr. Loar- ing Clark of St. PauTs church, Chatta- nooga, and pr. J. NJ. Maxon of St Marks church, Louisville. Dr. MaXon gave the results of his studies in Chicago of the rise of the Bolshevic movement and em- phasized the necessity of combating it with Christian propa ganda. Dr. Clark discussed the details for carrying on the educational, missionary and social serv- ice work planned.
 Throughout the meeting the whole ques- tion of money was subordinated to that of reforming and inspiring the mind Of the church As yet it is undetermined how much money will be sought in Bir- mingham. A fixed amount may be called for or it may be just free will offering. It is thought, however, that the latter plan will be followed.

DOWNTOWN SHOE l, STORE IS BADLY { DAMAGED BY FIRE
Damages to the Extent of Several Thousand Dollars to Building and Stock
 by Fire and Water

One of the fiercest fires that has oc- cured in some time in the downtown section of the city broke out about l o'clock this morning in the premises occupied by the Guarantee Shoe com pany. 1905 Third avenue, north, and damage to the building and stock caused by fire and water will run into the thousands of dollars.
 The call was sent in from box 12 by the patrolman of that beat and gen. eral alarm was given, bringing en- zines l, ?, 4. and to the scene.
 Much difficulty was experienced in locating the exact seat of the fire, ow- ing to the dense clouds of smoke that filled the building. This necessitated running hose lines to the roof of the building from both front and rear.
 As the flames broke through the roof the exact seat of trouble was To- cated and in short time the concen- trated play oth had the fire under con troll
 Fortunately the electric wiring was not destroyed, as the fire was located between the ceiling of the third floor and the roof this enabling the fire men to carry on the work under favor able conditions.
 Within a half hour after the arrival of the engines the fire was completely under control
 This was regarded as being an ef- ficient piece of work done by the fire department. Every move was carried out in perfect order and precision
 The firemen showed evidence of a hurried call being dressed in a va riety of makeshift outfits, the helmet being the only article common to all
 The cars on several downtown loops were forced to stop running, owing to tho great number of hose lines scat V tered over the street

SOME BIG PLANTS CLOSED

Chicago, Septemb Der 22-The big steel strike went into effect in the Chicago district today without disorder Some of the largest plants were forced to close today, but others operated on a. reduced scale throughout the day and early tonight there was no material change in the situation. The minor concerns were affected in about the same proportion as the big establish ments.
 Whether the strike would increase in effectiveness was admittedly dependent largely upon the course of the engi- neers in the plants Although their in- ternational union had forbidden a strike the most of Gary members of the order went out with the steel workers. To- night they were considering an order to return to work.
 Company officials generally were reti- cent and except in the cases of com plete shutdowns, would not give fig ures on the number of men at work. They estimated variously that from 70 to 90 per cent of their employees had re- mained loyal.
 At strike headquarters, it was esti- mated that 67,500 men had obeyed the strike call, the total being distributed as follows:
 Gary. Ind, 22,ooo Indiana Harbor. f1,ooo; South Chicago, 10000: Joliet, Chicago Heights 2000; Hammond. Ind, 5000; Evanston, Ills, 1900; Waukegan, H., 2500; Milwaukee, Wis, 5000; Ster- ling. H., 1000; DeKalb, III, 150o.
 At Gary the men who had formed the day shift remained in the enclosure for the night, and it was intimated that they would not be asked to go home while the strike was in progress, A few score men came through the main gate at o'clock carrying their tools and were loudly cheered by strikers. The equal number of night shift men who entered the plant. did so to the accompaniment of hoots.
 There was slight stir in South Chi cago strike circles late in the day, when it was learned that the Wisconsin steel mills of the International Harvtster company were closing down. In a statement the company said the action was taken upon recomm endation of the elected representatives of the em. ployes although nine -tenths ofthe work ink force was on duty at the usual hour"
 The works council of the plant, the statement said. adopted a resolution rec ommending closing down because "some of the plants in the district were practi- ca1ly cosed down and because of the nationwide extent of the strike ant the consequent possibility of violence

 Discussing the withdrawal feature, Mir. Wilson said he did not want to get into the league with fear he might not be able to get out, but wanted to 80 in with the hope of staying in and helping all he could. The crowd cheered when he added;
 T want to get into any kiDd of trouble that will help hberate mankind. l don't want to always be thinking about my skin or my pocketbood or my friend ships" He added that when those op- posing the leagre feel "the impulse of courage instead of the impulse Of cow ardice," they would see the question in it's proper light.

 in the world.
 The appeal was met with another vol ley of hissing, to which the Arizona sen- ator replied that only snakes and geese hissed Meanwhile the chair was pound-
 ing for order and the crowds began pill ing out pelmell, while members on the floor were swarming around Senator Reed.
 Senator Lodge finally was recognized above the hubbub, which so rudely had shattered the dignity and traditions of the Senate, and, 1eaning on his desk and smiling, addressed the chair Tn order to return to that serene and calm atmosphere described by the sen- ator from Arizona, l move that we ad-

 How to deal with conduct of the people who attend the Senate sessions to hear the treaty debate was a question of some concern topight to senators, who dis cussed it Informally in view of the events of the afternoon.

 Senator Reed. whose speech occupied the whole treaty programme during the days proceedings, had been speaking nearly two hours when the first ap- plause came. This followed his reply to question by Senator Lodge and brought the first stern warning from the pre- siding officer. Senator Reed, while up- holding firmly the ruling, expressed the hope that the Senate would not be too severe on the crowds, because it was their only chance, he said, of express
 ing their opinions.
 After he had been interrupted repeat edly by Senator Jones, democrat, New Mexico, an advocate of the league cove nant, Senator Reed departed widely from his prepared speech, and it was while he was talking bluntly that the spectators voiced approval with hands and feet This was particularly the case after he had declared that advocates of the league described one minute a prize fighter strong enough to whip anything under the worlds canvass, and next as man with paralyzed arms. The principal part of the speech was an argument against the league cove nant, with bitter assault on the claus, giving Great Britain six votes in thu 1 league assembly to one for the United l States President Wilson was sharpl, and severely attacked by Senator Reed who declared he had counseled witt | kings to transfer to them the sover 1 eighty Washington had won with tn, sword.
