BONDSMEN ABDUL
 OF REGULATIONS

Professional bondsmen in Birming- ham, some of whom operate in the shadow of the city jail, were dealt a heavy blow Tuesday when the city commission passed an ordinance plac- ing them under drastic police regula- tion.
 Police Commissioner W. B. Cloe said numerous complaints from clients of the bondsmen caused the action.
 The ordinance requires all bondsmen to apply to Cloe for permit to do business, and prohibits the license de- pertinent frmO issuing licenses until permits have been obtained.
 After Investigating the applicants thoroughly, Cloe is required to make recommendations to the commission, which will take final action.
 Much of the information in my possession is hearsay," Cloe told re- porters, "but there are indications that over-charges are being made and that other improper practices are going or" |"
 The bondsmen, under terms of the ordinance, must make immediate ap- pications for permits. Cloe said he would carefully investigate the char acter of each applicant, as well as the scale of prices in effect.
 A number of bondsmen have head- quarters in the ally by the jail. Many prisoners who are without funds when arrested are bonded out, the cost of the bond depending upon the totallia- bility.
 Commission President D. B. Me Lendon said the ordinance, in his opin- ion, would shortly reduce the number of bondsmen here.

} THOUGHT DEAD
 IN NAPTHA BLAST.
 ON BRITISH SHIP
Victims Trapped In Hold When Vessel Becomes
 Mass Of Flames

NEW YORK, June 24.-Five men were believed to have been burned to death late today in fire that followed the explosion of naptha aboard the British freighter, Egremont Castle, at her dock in Brooklyn. Seven other men were seriously burned. The explosion, which turned the ship into sNof flames trapped the men in the hold and so intense was the heat that it was i'm possible to give them aid. As further explosions seemed imminent the freighter was lowed by fire boats to Red Hook Point flats, opposite the Statue of Liberty, where she was beached.
 The explosion occurred when 50 TO- gallon cases of naptha shook loose from their fastenings as they were being lowered into the ship and crashed to the bottom of the hold.
 The five men believed to have lost their lives were missing when a check up of the crew was made. Four of them were stevedores. The fifth was Charles Keller, an inspector for the Standard Oil company, which owned most of the cargo the Egremont Castle was shipping.
