HARRISON
CT. AIMS GAIN
Says Southern Shop Force is
Increasing

Washington, Aug. 31-President
Fairfax Harrison of the Southern
Railway announced today that
workers engaged in the shops OF
that system now represented 51-2
per cent of the normal force. The
so per cent mark was passed yes
terday, the statement said, when the
rolls showed 5,961 at work in the
shops against a normal total force
'ef 1868.
During the past week" Mr.. Har-
rison said, "our efforts have been
concentrated on increasing the
number OF skilled craftsmen with
the result that many men employ
ed when recruiting began have
been weeded out and discharged
The number, of Craftsmen now at
work in our shops constitute 32
per cent of a. normal roster, while
week ago we had only 20 per
cent.
Additions to our shop forces are
being made daily, but only skilled
men can now be accepted, as we
have a full complement Of cora
mon labor"

There are two lessons to be
drawn from the fire yesterday af-
tesnoon-there is not an adequate
supply Of water in that section Of
the city and the city should adopt
an anti-shingle roof ordinance II
the water supply had been adequate
and the pressure sufficient the fire
men could have male much more
successful fight against the fire
that destroyed the lumber mills
than they did The water mains in
that part of town are small and
the volume of water that they car
nv is totally inadequate TO supply
the fire pumps when they are call
ed on to run at maximum capacity.
To make the situation worse yes
terday afternoon, it is stated that
the standpipe was not full at the
time the fire started and the pres
sure was therefore not up to the
maximum. If Mr.. John Wilson's s
house had had metal roof it
would not have been set afire by
spark from the lumber mill fire
several blocks away. a movement
should be started as soon as posi-
bic to eliminate all single roofs in
the city. The fire hazard would be
greatly reduced and there would
be a proportionate decrease in the
insurance rates.

BIGHAM CASE
NOW BEFORE
SUPREME COURT
Arguments Made on Motion
to Discuss Appeal For New
Trial

Columbia, Sept. The supreme
court in special session this morning
heard arguments Of Solicitor
Gasuue, of Florence, for dismissal
Of the appeal of Edmund Bigham,
convicted of sthe murder Of his
brother. Smiley, and indicted for
numbering his sister, his mother
and his sisters two adopted chill
dren.
The appeal was from deci-
sion Of Judge Shipp refusing a
new trial on the ground Of after
discovered evidence. The solicitor
then made argument that the at
torneys for Bigham had set up as
one Of the principal defenses that
Smiley Bigham had killed seve-
eral members Of his family and
then committed suicide and that the
letters found after the trial al
legged to have been written by Smll-
ey Bighan were of no consequence
and not permissible to be reviewed
before the supreme court. He held
the letters would not change the re-
suit. Judge Shipp had passed on
the case and had declined to grant
a new trial on the after discovered
evidence and Mr.. Gasque contend
ed that the case was not now re-
viewable before the higher tribu-
nal. unless there was shown an er-
ror in law. He contended that
Judge Shipp had not abused his
discretion.
