BUCK" WEAVER CLEANS
 SACKS WITH HOMER

Buck Weaver was the hero of the fourth frame and incidentally of the game. Morrison walked three Pelican batters, and with one down Weaver came up and smote the spheroid on it's equator for terrific home run to the fartherest corner of the groove. Gil- bert's double, followed by Daniels sin gle, accounted for another Pelican run in the fifth. Weaver smashed out a triple in the sixth after two were down, but Morrison forced Kitchens to ground out.
 The Barons were helpless in the fourth, but staged a big rally in the fifth after two were out Bernsen sin gled to right field, Webb hit safe to center, and Brazier beat out a grounder to Knaupp, who threw wild, allowing Bernsen to score and Webb and Brazier to move up to third and second. Peters then came through with a timely single to left, scoring two more runs. Mor- rison grounded out, pitcher to first.

GAS LEAK CAUSE
 OF FIRE AT P|Z|Tz
Fire Attributed to Careless ness of WOrkman-StOre
 Employees ExOnerated

Considerable damage was done in the lunch room and upper floor of the Louis Pizitz department store yesterday when a small fire in the balcony heated the extinguisher system sufficiently to re- lease a flood of water, which, besides smothering the blaze, damaged some stock and the interior of the building. The loss has not been estimated. Offi- cials of the store allege that the fire originated when a Birmingham Rail way, Light and Power company employe sought the source of leak in a gas pipe with a lighted match.
 "The blaze was entirely due to care lessness" said Fire Chief Middleton. Most anybody knows better than to go around a leaking gas pipe with a lighted match. This fire should have never happened, and Is inexcusaole, al, thought no fault of the store employees.
 John W. Anderson, advertising man. ager of the store, made the following statement:
 I've have had several gas leaks in the store lately, as I suppose has been the case at other places in the city, and Saturday morning employees Of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company came down to discover and stop the leaks. These men were in charge of a Mir. Lamar. The search was being conducted in the kitchen of the lunch room on the balcony, when one of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power employees conceived the idea of locating the leak with lighted match. He located 1t. There is absolutely no doubt in the mind of anyone that he located it. The flame burst forth and in a few minutes was sweeping things around there. The heat opened the sprinkler head located near the leak and small river of water shot out and down to the first floor, damaging several hundred dollars worth of shoes. We can't say what the damage is yet, as we haven't finished taking inyen- tory"

MEMBER EDUCATION COMMISSION NAMED BY THE GOVERNOR
Will Study Educational Sys- tenn and Make Suggestions at Second Session of
 the Legislature
By FRED H. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, February S.-(Special.) Within 24 hours after the law providing for the creation of a recess commission on education was approved by the ex- ecutive department, Governor Kilby Sat urday afternoon announced the appoint ment of five well known citizens as members of the commission and they will be charged with the duty of making a thorough study of the states educational system before July l, and of reporting suggestions for changes, consultations and discontinuances of educational in- stitutions to the Alabama legislature at it's second session, which will be held in midsummer.
 Members of the commission are Sidney J. Bowie of Birmingham, Senator A. H. Carmichael of Tuscumbia, J. D. Duna- woy of Dallas county, George H. Lanier of Lanett and Fred I. Thompson of Mo- bile. Each section of Alabama is repre- scented on the commission and an effort was made by the governor to find men who were representative of the conflict ing interests of the people of the state.
 Governor Kilby believes that the rec ord of the administration which came into being January 20 will be made by the recess commission on education. Ger tain it is that no committee or com mission ever created by legislative enact ment in Alabama has the powers and responsibilities that have been placed on this commission. For many years it has been charged that there was too much duplication of effort in the public school system of Alabama. Effort after effort has been made to combine the Uni versity and Alabama Politechnic 1nsti- tute. session of the legislature is never held without the introduction of one or more bills abolishng the agricul- tural schools and combining the state normal schools. Members always insist that not enough money goes to the com mon schools and too much goes to the schools of higher learning.

 HALT IN ALL
 INDUSTRIES

Pittsburgh, Dec. 2-Reports received at the offices of the United Mine Workers here today show that not one of the 42,O00 idle union coal miners in the Pittsburgh district re- turned to work yesterday, un- ion leaders said. They declar- ed this meant the miners stood with their officers in rejecting the Garfield settlement of a 14 per cent increase in wages.
 Phillip Murray, president of the district 5, United Mine Workers, in commenting upon the situation, said:
 ''In thus rejecting Dr. Garfeld's IA per cent. increase the miners of the district take precisely the same posi- tiOn Acting President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers, took in the presence of Dr. Garfield in Wash ington last week-that the offer was an insult"
 Chicago. Dec. 2-Restrictions of the use of coal, already put into eff feet by regional coal committees where the pinch of necessity had been felt, today were extended through out the nation under an order of the federal fuel administrator. The most extensive shutdown of industry in history was in prospect and domestic consumers were preparing to endure privation and discomfort as the strike of bituminous coal miners entered its second month.
 Only in Kansas, where volunteers worked in the strip pits under pro- tectton of state and federal troops, and in the New River fields of West Virginia was there prospect today of increased production. In the former seven pits were worked and in West Virginia operators said normal pro- duction was in sight by the end of the week.
