GROUND HOG LEFT A
CALL FOR MARCH IS

The ground hog ran square into his
shadow at noon yesterday, darted back
into his hole and hopes of an early spring
are all off,
His underground highness lost little
time, 1t is surmised, In returning to his
nap and for seven long weeks he will
sleep snugly protected from the wlntry
blasts which will play around the en-
times are coming and young men and
women with poetical ideas In their heads
had better go back to work. The spring
time muse will have to wait till the fish
begin to bite. The blow is hard but must
be endured The ground hog is relent-
less in his Judgment and when he backs
into his hole overcoats are still in season.
The appearance of the ground hog had
been awaited with intense interest
throughout the country and the various
weather bureaus suspended operations
until this sleeping prophet should come
forth and lay down the law He emerged
from winter quarters promptly at noon
and as the thousands awaited the result
he took squirt at the sky and the sun
burst forth in all its splendor. His
groundship looked down, saw a big black
shadow and 1t was back to the mines
with him. With peculiar switch of his
excuse for a tail the awakened weather

prophet turned a back somersaut into
his hole, leaving a call for March 10.
This morning the populace will be dis
appointed but the yearners for spring
will have to stand 1t. There will be moth
ing doing In the poetical, fishing or pic
nicking line until the middle of the
month of Winds Thus the grounding
has decreed and thus it shall be.
For the benefit of the few persons who
are not familiar with the duties of a
ground hog 1t might be well to explain
that he comes out of his hole on the Sec
ond day of February Of every year. If
the sun is shining and he sees his shadow
he Immediately goes back to his hiding
place. as there Is certain to be seven
more weeks of bad weather. If 1t is
cloudy and there is no shadow the
grounding proceeds to cavort around on
the surface and bids his old home good
bye Spring is then near and he stays
out to enjoy it.
Groundhogs are very scarce In Jeffer-
son county and the few holes around Bir-
mingham were watched carefully by
large number of reporters. weather ex-
perts, scientists and photographers. The
grounding, as observed, yesterday fell
back into his den too quick for a photo
graph His appearance on March Is will
be hailed with delight

TEST SUIT TO BE FILED

1t is very likely that a lawsuit will be
instituted within a few weeks by at least
one of the large corporations in this dis
trict to test the constitutionality of the
act imposing an additional tax upon them
for operating under charters secured out
side OF the state of Alabama
The additional tax upon the Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railroad company and the
Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company
is said these two companies will refuse to
pay 1t. The object of such lawsuit is to
settle the matter for once and for all.
Think the Law Unfair.
The corporations feel that the passage
Of the act by the Alabama legislature was
the result of an unfrienely feeling
towards corporations, and that 1t was the
intention of the law to raise a large sum
of money annually through this additional
tax. They think the law unfair and UNI
just and believe it Is unconstitutional.
They express perfect willingness to pay

baking at this additional tax, which they
regard as an imposition.
The Republic Iron and Steel company
has escaped this tax to a large extent
by operating under the charters secured
in Alabama by the smaller companies,
which were merged into the Republic
company some time ago.
Alabama Corporation Laws.
On account of the general understand
ing among corporations that the corpor-
alton laws in Alabama are not as liberal
as. those of New York. West Virginia,

not sought in Alabama The new law
aims directly at corporations which are
doing business In Alabama under char

not only unjust but unconstitutional
The suit to be filed will be friendly

rancor
Leading Industrial men say the tend

and will have a depressing effect upon

NOTED CARTOONIST
WILL COME TODAY
HOMER DAVENPORT, ONE OF THE
MOST FAMOUS AND ENTERTAIN-
ING ARTISTS IN THE COUNTRY,
WILL BE AT JEFFERSON.

Homer Davenport, the noted cartoonist,
will be in Birmingham today and will
lecture at the Jefferson theatre tonight.
Mr.. Davenport lectured to a large audi
ence at Montgomery last night and per-
sons who were there say the entertain
ment is both novel and instructive.
Mr.. Davenport's lecture is made up Of
funny incidents in the career of a great
cartoonist and made unique by rapid
drawings on large sheets of paper to IL
lustrate the various ideas introduced. AS
a talker Mr.. Davenport is a decided sue
cess and his lecture is full of wit and
humor Naturally be is good story
teller and with his unique illustrations
his points are made all the more forcible
Several years ago Mr.. Davenport be-
gan a meteoric career as political car
toonist on the New York Journal and be-
came famous during the first campaign
of Mr.. Bryan against Mr.. Mckinley. His
caricatures of Senator Hanna and Ii
Hung Chang were copied all over the
world. Mr.. Davenports portrayal of Sen
ator Hanna, then campaign manager for
Mr.. Mckinley, in a suit of dollar mark
clothes made a distinct hit and in few
weeks this noted cartoonist was known
throughout the reading world.
firing of the regular grind of news
paper work, Mr.. Davenport was induced
to go on the lecture platform and so far
his tour has been a great success. He
will be greeted by great crowd tonight.

cred at a meeting OF the miscellaneous

of the city council; City Attorney r. d.
Smith. Chairman John C. Forney of the
miscellaneous committee, and Alderman

avenue and looked over the situation.

mittee will probably decide to stand by its
first decision. This means those doing
business must move out unless the courts
interfere.
On the northwest corner of Second ave-
nue. and Eighteenth street, in a one-story
brick building. is located an italian fruit
stand. restaurants for both negroes and
whites and negro barber shop. Mayor

what action the city council will take in
the premises. Adjoining the negro barber
shop on the west is lodging house. which
has recently been vacated. and now bears
the sign For Rent" Further down the
avenue there Is grocery store and meat
market and another restaurant.
II the miscellaneous committee takes
any action In the matter report will be
made at the meeting Of the city council
tonight.
