sity

Recent Contributions to the History
of the Protestant Revolt" In this paper
he emphasized the partisan character
of the sources of information, which,
he said, greatly embarrasses those who
are anxious to form a fair-minded es-
innate of the issues and the leaders in
the movement referred to- Neither side
was capable of forming a just CSinion
Of their own or their enemies work
He declared that Jansen, a Catholic
historian, had done more than any
other writer of the past generation to
give us an idea of the spiritual life in
Germany before the public appearance
of Luther. He urged the necessity OF
studying the history of the medieval
church far more carefully and impair
TALLY, for, he said. we know far too
little of the actual workings of the
church before the Protestant schism.
Even the way in which it performs its
religious functions, he said, is only
recently becoming tolerably clear

RAISING TAXES
 AN EASY TASK Board of Revenue Having Little Trouble With Owners THOMPSON CONSERVATIVE EnsIey Will Probably Furnish More Cases for the Board of EqualIza. ton Than Any Other Com
 munity In the County.
THOMPSON CONSERVATIVE

The board, of Revenue took up another list of taxpayers yesterday and all of Commissioner Thompson's raises were agreed upon.
 None of the cases were contested all being settled by agreement or default.
 Among the local business firms faised yesterday were: J. Blach & Sons from s11,5oO to s1S,0oo. Collies Drug Co. from 5000 to s650O. J. D. Collins from ss5oo to s1o,ooO.
 While discussing the raising of tax as- sessments yesterday one of the board said: "Commissioner Thompson has adopted very conservative course and we fear no trouble in adjusting differ ences with. the property owners. From present indications over 90 per cent of the raises will be agreed upon without trial Some of the big corporations may kick a little, but seeing the fairness of MT. Thompson's raises I believe they will reach an agreement without a trial"
 Ensley will probably furnish more cases for the Board of Equalization than any other community in the county. Val uation has increased there more than else- where and the taxpayers in many in- stances have not realized this and as- sessed their property at the old figures Commissioner Thompson and the board hope to satisfactorily adjust all these cases without much trouble.
 The board holds two sessions a day, but usually adjourns at o'clock in the after noon.

STANLEY WINS WAGER.
Succeeded In Finding the Letter and
 then Delivered 1t.

King Stanley attempted his mind read ing reading feat yesterday afternoon and succeeded. While blindfolded he found a hidden letter and delivered it to the person to whom 1t was addressed. His test of mind reading was as unique as success full. A committee of citizens drove to the Morris Hotel in a carriage, saw that Stanley was blindfolded, and then ad- dressed a letter to young man in the city. They then drove to the post office deposited the letter, together with sev- eral others in box 1so, hid the key and went back to the hotel. Still blindfolded Mr. Stanley got in the carriage and at a lively gait drove direct to the post office, deftly avoiding vehicles, and in one in- stance checking up the horses to avoid running over a little child. Arriving at the post office he stood for a moment as If thinking and then went directly to the place where the key was hidden on the wainscoating and picked 1t up. He found box 180. and took from 1t a letter address ed to John B. Leedy. Getting in the car riage. still blindfolded, he drove to Twen- ty-nrst street and delivered it. The right man was found and King Stanley won his wager.
 A large crowd followed the blindfolded man through the streets.

CHEAPER PIPE RATES.
Railroads Announce a Reduction In
 Freight Rates of $$1.

The railroads of this district have just announced a reduction in freight rates on cast iron pipe from Birmingham to Atlanta The reduction amounts to $1 .0O per ton, and will give new rate of $2.0O per ton.
 It is said that the reduction is the di- rect result of the determination of Bir- mingham companies to enter the Atlanta field in a fight for character of sales never before had in that city. The re- cent contracts recured in the city and the prospects for others filled the dealers with determination to get all the trade possible from that point and to fight hard for everything.
 The rate Is effective July IS. and it is believed will prove great benefit to this district.

LITTLE JOHN IS DEAD.
Tiny Dog Owned by Chief Mullin Kill
 cd by a Dray.

Little John. the tiny dog owned by J. T. Mullin, chief of the fire department, was run over by a dray in Fourth avenue Tuesday and killed. The little dog was one of the best-known pets in Birming- ham, and though he only weighed three pounds he has fought many battles for the chief of the fire department When little John was on the seat of MT. Null lins buggy no one dared approach the vehicle. and when placed on the desk in the department no one could even remove piece of paper from 1t when the chief was absent.
 At the Mullin home there are no chill dren. and little John was one of the fam fly. The sadness there yesterday was all most as great as if a human life had been taken away. The little dog was playing in front of the engine house in Fourth ave- nue when run over and the fremen who saw the accident ran to get the little pet and tenderly laid him on cushion. The chief took him to a veterinary surgeon as soon as possible. but nothing could be done and he died shortly afterwards. Lit- tie John was buried in the yard of the Mullin home.

RIGHT
 IN ELECTIONS Is To Elect Their Own Election
 Officers INCLUDING REGISTRARS Hon. William c. Ward Declares That This Right Should Not Be Taken From the People By
 Any Law.

'The people should be allowed to elect their own election officers, such as regis trars and managers of election. in every beat in every county in Alabama" said Hon. William c. Ward, the veteran and distinguished lawyer.
 ''The selection of such officers Is the common right of the people, and they should not be denied that right in any circumstances.
 'The grandfather clause in the pro- posed suffrage plan for Alabama doesn't impress me as being of much consequence except ir so far as 1t perpetuates the right of voters who have already the privilege of voting. It does not greatly differ in application from the Massachusetts law, which requires ability to read and write and to understand the constitution, and guarantee the right of voting to every man over sixty years of age. This is wise and commendable.
 But mere ability to read and write should. not alone give the right of vot- ing. Character, for example, should be considered. Habitual drunkards and pro- fessional gamblers should not be allowed the ballot.
 "One of the best citizens of Dallas l County was a negro ( named Charles White. He owned eleven hundred acres of land and his yearly income was 5000 l to $2500. But he could neither. read nor write It would be bad policy to take the ballot from such man.
 Here in Jefferson County near Bir- mingham, one of the best of white citi- zens Is a man of property who has failed to learn to read and write, just won't learn. Yet he owns twenty-five or thirty acres of land that Is worth a hundred | dollars an acre. Assuredly he ought not to be deprived of his vote.
 This grandfather clause reminds me | of an incident that occurred in Shelby County many years ago, Colonel Moore, who for several years after 1867 managed the Montevallo mines, was the manager of the election one year. During the cleo ton day a negro boy approached the polls and said he desired to vote.
 "'How old are youT asked Colonel Moore.
 "'Seventeen,' answered the boy.
 "'You are too young-you can't vote, Colonel Moore said to the boy.
 "'Well, I tell you, boss my daddy-he done registered-but he died. Since he died and I been maxim the crap. and thought I ought to do the voting, seeing | I am doing my daddys work
 "It seems to me that they are now try | ing to give men the right to vote because | the grandfathers are not here to do the | voting," Captain Ward continued.

The wholesale produce market was very active yesterday. Irish potatoes were in great demand, much greater than the supply. They were selling at $1.20 to $18 per bushel. The Southern crop is short and prices will probably rule high until the Northern crop is on the may ket in September.

TROUBLE OF MINERS
 AT ADGER SETTLED
President Flynn Told the Men That Under the Action Of the Scale Convention They Must Return to Work or De
 Idle Without Union Assistance.

The settlement of the miners troubles at Adger, in the Blue Creek district, was effected yesterday morning by President Ed Flynn of the United Mine Workers. The resumption of work will come this morning.
 The dissatisfaction felt by the men at that place over the new scale was due to the action of the drivers in the mines. The latter class considered the accept ance of the scale an injustice to them selves and refused to return to work. Af- ter some discussion President Flynn final ly told the workmen that they must go to work or remain idle without union as sistance as the union had accepted the scale. A vote was taken and large ma

 President Flynn will go to Dolomite Friday to assist in the settlement of diff culties being experienced there. But little time will be required to get all the min CTS back in their old places again.
 National Organizer Kirkpatrick is now out of the city using his best efforts to effect a resumption of work by the miners at Brilliant and Carbon Hill. He is ex- pected to- meet with success, as the posi- tion taken by the union requires the ac- ceptance by every local of the scale which was accepted by the scale convention.
