tact with them. In my hurry I forgot
my umbrella and had to return to the
house for it. By this time everybody was
out of the building and before we could
get away we were surrounded by these
Palos boys and men who began to jeer
at us. calling us 'scabbs.'
Some of them began shooting and we
ran to get away. When they pressed
us we drew our guns and returned the
fire. My cousin Ose and myself were
alone and there were seven or eight ON

THIRD REGIMENT
GOES TO ADMISSION
COLONEL M'KLERoY WILL ISSUE
ORDERS IN A FEW DASHBOARD
OF EXAMINERS APPOINTED BY
THE GOVERNOR.

The annual encampment of the Third
regiment Alabama National guard, will
be held in Admission the week of June Is.
Colonel w. II. McKleroy reached a de-
cision in the matter yesterday and the
official order will be issued in the next
day or two through the regular channels.
Admission was very anxious to secure
the encampment and offered practically
four times as much in cash as did Br-
mingham. The camp will be at oxford
Lake, and it is estimated that from 500
to 800 soldiers will be in camp for the
week
The Birmingham Rifles and the Jeffer-
son Volunteers expect to carry about six
ty men each into camp, and Company A Of
Woodlawn, expects to do equally as we'll
Captain Lucien C. Brown of the Rifles,
stated last night that he thought he would
be able to carry a full company to the
encampment.
An order was issued yesterday by Gov
ernor Jelks naming Lieut.. Col. Hughes
B. Kennedy, Maj. C. L. Ledbetter. Capt.
D. Houston Smith and Capt. S. C. Pelham
as a permanent board of examiners for
the officers of the Third regiment.
Under the military laws all officers are
required to stand an examination before
they can receive their commissions from
the state after their election The law
was not enforced until recently and 1t
is proving a very fine thing for the good
of the service. All of the officers of the
regiment have stood that examination
including Colonel McKleroy. who was re.
Gently elected and commissioned.

0. W. UNDERWOOD
: MAKES ADDRESS
HE SPEAKS TO THE FACULTY
AND PUPILS OF EAST LAKE PUB
Lie ScHooLS-LEGISLA BY
TIL PEOPLE.

The commencement exercises of the
ed last night by the awarding of GER
tificates and the annual address deliver
ed by Congressman Oscar w. Underwood.
The exercises were held at Howard coll
lege assembly hall, and that large audi
torium was taxed to its full capacity.
Mr.. Underwood took for theme 'Legis-
latin by the People," and during his adj
dress the speaker held the closest atten-
ton Of his hearers. He was frequently
interrupted. by applause. Thirty members
of the seventh grade received certificates.
Mr.. Underwood was introduced by
Supt Basingame of the public schools.
1.-THE ideal legislation said Mr.. Under
wood, '1s that legislation controlled by
the people. The legislator who is ever
on the alert for the enactment of pure
laws Is he who is answerable direct to
his constituents for his stewardship. All
legislators should be elected by the pop
ular vote of the people and should be
directly responsible to his constituents
for his public conduct.
1.-THE United States Senate is an exam
pie where the making Of laws have been
almost wrenched from the grasp of the
people The senators, elected by the leg
islatures of the several states, In many
instances are sent to Congress to repre-
sent special interest rather than the
interest of the entire people. Many
states are represented by senators who
OWE their election to some special inter-
est and for this interest they devote
their official Efforts
Mr. Underwood cited the Standard Oil
company and the steel trust as examples
of special interests that played far too
important part in legislation.
Mr. Underwood paid high tribute to
Alabamas two senators and declared
that whether elected by the legislature Or
by a popular vote. they would be re-
turned to Congress from time to time
as Alabamas representatives in the fed
eral Senate.

THE HOTEL DE CRILLON.
Palatial Structure in Paris with m
Exterior of Surprising
Magnificence.

No seignorial residence In Paris can
rival the Hotel de Crillon, belonging to
the ducal family of Crillon-Polignac, in
the magnifcence Of its exterior, says
Camille Gronkowski's Historical Pal
aces OF Paris" in Century.
One may say that its location is unique
in the world. From its wide balcony,
arranged as terrace. and between the
tai Corinthian columns OF the facade,
ore sees the whole of the Place de la
Concorde, formerly the Place Louis
XIV. the largest square of Paris, with It's
solemn lines OF arrangement, its vistas
broken by the noble river which curves
! between two lines OF poplars, whence
emerge the roofs of the last palaces
along the Quai d'orsay; then, farther
| of. the slender and lace-like spire OF the
| Sainte Chapelle and the violet towers OF
Notre Dame.
To the left there is a sea OF verdure
| enameled with white statues-the old
royal park OF the Tuileries. In front is
the heavy mass OF the Palais Legislatif
with its Greek front; then the old Hote
de Bourbon Lassay. where the presi
dent OF the chamber OF deputies resides
and beyond the ministry OF foreign af
fairs. where the government OF the re
public lodges the sovereigns who COM
to visit Paris. Finally. TO the right ar
