PROVIDING FOR SCHOOLS.
A 3-MiIl Tax to BE Set Aside In Ala
bamn with "a Special Local Tax of
One MIL.

bama with Special Local Tax of
One Mil.
Montgomery, Ala. July 12-The Com
mittee on Education, Mr. Graham of
Talladega chairman, made its report this
morning in the Constitutional Convention.
Section states that separate schools
shall be provided for white and negro
children, and no child of either race shall
be permitted to attend the school of the
other. In lieu of the S550,000 general ap-
preparation and the extra one-mill tax
for schools a special tax of three mills is
set aside in perpetuity for the schools.
This yields revenue iabout the same as
the schools now enjoys but 1t will steadily
increase as the taxes increase. No
change is made in Che method OF ap-
pointment of university trustees. Instead
of requiring an redistribution of the
school fund between the races, 1t re-
quires that the school terms for the two
races shall be of equal length. A special
tax of one mill is provided to be levied
by the counties on vote of so per cent.
of the qualified electors.
Section of the report is a new section
which provides for taking a school CEN
sus not oftener than once in two years,
and throwing proper safeguards around 1t.
Section II is also a new section which
is a modification of the amendment Of
fered to the article on taxation. 1t pro-
vides for one mill local tax. This provis-
ion has been favorably reported because
of its merit and in view of the reduction
on the state limit of taxation to 65 cents
Under 1t the state and county rate COM
bined can never exceed $l.25 per hundred.

AN AEROM0TOR THAT NOTES
VI. SantOs-DumOnt's Invention Ap-
pears to BE a Success.

Paris. July 12.-M. Santos-Dumont S
cfgar-shaped balloon, driven by a motor
had trial to-day from st. Cloud, across
Paris, around the Eiffel Tower and back
to St. Cloud. The papers say the trip
was quite successful, and that the balloon
ascended and descended apparently at the
will of the aeronaut.
M. Santos Dumont says he first sailed
five times around the Longchamps race
course, then around the Bois de Boulogne
and then around the Eiffel Tower. He
adds that one of the ropes of the rud-
der broke, and he had a narrow escape
from colliding with the tower. so he de-
scended to the garden of the Trocadero
to have the damage repaired and after
wards again rounded the tower and re-
turned to St. Cloud. Tomorrow he will
make an official attempt to win the prize
of 100000 francs, offered by Henry
Deutsch for a manageable balloon, in the
presence of a committee of the Aero CLUB,
which includes Prince Roland Bonaparte,
M. Deutsch and others. TIE aeronaut will
start o'clock in the morning and go
over the same course as to-day.

of great excitement in both the wheat
and corn markets at New York to-day.
trade aggregating one of the largest days
totals in year or more, especially as to
corn. Prices jumped 29s cents during the
day in corn, making 6l5 cents advance

market so fast that brokers could scarce
ly execute them at the prices desired.
and the usually small crowd around the
corn ring was increased to such an ex-
tent that at times it almost rivaled that
in the wheat pit. The farmers have taken
the bull side into their hands, and in
face of heavy realizing on the part of
professionals, have kept prices going un-

Already prices are so high in the South

Must Pay in $5OO,0OO.
Washington. July 12.-Controller Of the
Currency Dawes has levied an assess
ment of 100 per cent. on the stock of the
Seventh National Bank of New York.
The stock is $4,000. This action was
based on preliminary report from the re-
ceiver of the Seventh National Bank
of New York city. The receiver says
that his estimate of the value of assets
is of course only approximate. He esti-
mates the amount which will finally be
recovered for the depositors from the
assets, including stockholders assess
ment at about so cents on the dollar.
The receiver says that his estimate Of
the value of the Marquand collateral' is
less than is claimed by the directors of
the bank, and 1t is possible on this ac-
count that the final collections may be
somewhat better than the receivers es-
innate.
Controller Dawes said to-day that all
transactions connected with advance of
cash to the bank just prior to its failure
are being carefully investigated.
The report of the receiver contains no
reference to any of the Investigations
