In treating of each of these divisions, Pro- lessor Thach discussed the richness and variety of Shakespeare, which is ever present.

REVENUE REPEAL BILL.
Considered by Subcommittee of the
 Senate Finance Committee.

Washington, March S-A sub-commit- tee of the Senate Col pittee on Finance was in session today Considering the war revenue repeal bill. It has been decided to report the. bill practically as it came from the House with changes in phrase ology, but with no amendment making any change in the reduction of the en- tire tax.
 When the bill was under consideration in hte full committe there was some talk about reporting an understanding between the two parties that no amend ments should be made to the bill in com mttee or in the Senate. There was a general acquiescence in the proposition, although MT. Platt (Conn.) said there might be disposition to offer Cuban reciprocity amendment. Senator Burrows and others said that if this was done the whole subject of tariff revision might be opened up and no one could tell where 1t would end
 While no agreement has been made there seems to be a general impression that no amendments will be made to the war revenue repeal measure. although some may be offered in the Senate.

Chairman Lowe Talks.

Chairman Lowe Talks.
 Chairm an R. J. Lowe of the State Dem- ocratic Executive Committee. states that the committee will not be called together until July or later, unless there should be urgent reasons for a meeting. In re- ply to a question, he said:
 Ut Is not my intention to call the Ex- ecutive Committee together until July 1. or later. unless something comes up for the committee to pass on. don't believe there is any hurry. especially in the face of the registration not being completed, and it Is not known who are legal voters. Until it has been ascertained who are legal voters, don't believe there should be any primaries. There is no need for haste.''
 He stated further that it Is not wise for any county to prepare for primaries until after the registration Is over, and 1t has been ascertained who will be legal voters. It Is stated here that when the Executive Committee of Madison County meets next week, the action calling pri- maries in that county for an early date will be rescinded.
 A prominent anti-ratificationist today said that former Governor Joseph F. Johnston would be forced by his friends to make the canvass for Governor of the State. If elected and a friendly Legisla- ture has been chosen. the Governor could resign and be elected United States Sen ator without violating the conditions of the new Constitution. The statement is made that the anti-ratificationists are preparing for a conference, but exactly when 1t will be held cannot be stated.
 Suit for $1OO,ooo.
 A suit for $100.000 was filed in the Chan cery Court here this morning by H. F. DeBardeleben against the Bessemer Land and Improvement Company.
 The complainant alleges that the de- fendant company entered into a contract with him by which he was to have re- ceived cents per ton on all coal mined upon certain property which was being operated under lease. It is alleged by the complainant that he devoted valu- able time and s. 900 in money in prospect ing for and locating lands in which there was coal of sufficient quantity and qual- ity to enable him to mine and dispose of the same at a profit, and after such time and money had been so expended and as a result thereof. he located what was in his opinion a property which could be profitably worked for coal, and he leased the same for a period of twenty years. in his own name and in the name of the Bessemer Land and Improvement Com pany.
 The property in each instance was To- cated in Bibb County and in the first case he alleges that he was to receive 6 cents a ton and, whether any coal was mined or not, he was to receive s6,700 per annum. In the second case, he alleges that he was to have received from 1-2 to 6 cents per ton for all coal mined and $5. 900 per annum whether any coal was mined or not. No part of the money has been paid to MT. DeBardeleben, it is claimed. The complainant prays that an accounting may be had and that the de- fendant be required to pay over to him his share of the proceeds of the coal taken from the lands described.
 MT. DeBardeleben is one of the pioneer developers of the Birmingham district.
