WiN Push BiN Through Senate
 to Lnaproue Alabama's Capitol.

The Goodwyn bill, to further i'm prove the Capitol, was yesterday con- sidered by the Senate Committee on Finance and Taxation, but 1t is under stood that no action was taken on it.. The committee waited to hear from the members fthe Capitol Commis- sion.
 Representative Goodwyn will push the bill for all he is worth during the short session. He will urge and with some assistance. that the Capitol should not be left as 1t is now. with one wing on and one wing off.
 One member of the Legislature. look ing at the Capitol said:
 Tt looks good enough as far as it goes. But it's lopsided. It looks as much out of place as a one-legged man at a foot race"
 It will be four years before the Leg islature can provide the money for making the Capitol symmetrical un- less provision is made at the present session. And all that time the State House will wear its lopsided appear ance.
 The Goodwin bill, which has passed the House. calls for an appropriation of $250.000 for the improvement and extension of the Capitol. The wing, which has just been completed, was built at an approximate cost of $55,OOo.

l MEETS WITH FAVOR
OUTLOOK EXCELLENT FOR STATE
 TUBERCULAR sANITORIUM.
Lawmakers and Physicians Unite in Endorsing Measure for Care Of Patients Suffering from
 White Plague.

A State Sanitorium for Tubercular Patients is in a fair way of becoming a certainty. The proposition is appa- rently meeting with favor among the members of the Legislature, and the physicians of the State are working industrlousiy for its establishment.
 One Senate Committee has already endorsed the proposition.' At the win ter session, the Committee on Public Health considered the bilr for the es- tablishment of the Sanitorium and fa- vorably reported 1t to the Senate. Un- der an agreement the bill was referred to the Finance and Taxation Commit tee This committee considered the measure at a meeting held yesterday.
 No definite action was taken on the bill But the committee favored the measure That was indicated by the discussion which accompanied it's con- sideration. But there are some details of the bill which are yet to be worked out, and 1t was determined to hold on for a final report until another meet ing. The amount of appropriation necessary for the buildings and for the annual maintenance will be deter mined upon when the bill comes from the committee to the Senate.
 The State Medical Association has interested itself in the measure. Sew eral physicians, some from Montgom- cry and some from other portions of the State, were at the Capitol during the day to talk to Senators over the merit of the bill It is deemed neces- sary now to have State Sanitorium, because there is a disposition among the Western States to do as Texas has done and bar tubercular patients. by rigid quarantine.

pr. Thomas M. owen. Director of the Department of Archives and His tory. is going to make a strenuous ef- fort to obtain possession of the famous ''Red Jacket which fired the only sa- lute at the inauguration ceremonies or Jefferson Davis. at the Montgomery Capitol.
 This red jacket is the property Of the Columbus Guards. of Columbus, Ga. When Jefferson Davis was inau- gurated as President of the Confeder- ate States of America, his honorary es- cort consisted of the old Montgomery Greys and the old Columbus Guards. the former acting as right escort and the latter as left escort. The Colum- bus boys brought this red jacket with them and just preceding the address or MT.

cussion and it has met with some

cussion and it has met with some favor.
 The bill seeks to effect some far reaching changes in the administration of convict laws in the State. In full 1t is as follows:
 "A bill to be entitled an act to pro- vide for the disbursements of the rev enue or proceeds derived from the convicts, and require county convicts to be worked by the State.
 Section 1. Be it enacted by the Legislature of Alabama: That on and after the passage of this act, all the revenue or proceeds derived from State and county convicts by the State shall be applied as follows: First, pay out of said funds or revenue all the cir cult court judges and chancellors and the solicitors of the State; second, after said amounts above stated, are first paid. then the auditor of said State shall divide the balance of said revenue, or so much thereof as may be necessary to provide for the future needs of the fine and forfeiture fund of the several counties of the state, between the different. counties of said State. and the amount paid to each county if not sufficient to pay the fu- ture requirements of said tund, snail be in accordance to the amount of con- NiCtS Scht iAoAa SoAA SOoNaAS itentiary and the Auditor shall issue warrants payable to the treasury or the different counties. which amount. when received by the county treas urer as aforesaid, shall be placed by him into the fine and forfeiture luna of said county.
 Section g. Be 1t further enacted: :: That on and after the passage of this act, the State of Alabama through US convict board. shall take charge or ana work under its direction as now pro vjded for State convicts, all county ,convicts from the different counties, shall collect the revenue as now pro- vided for State convicts, and pro-rate the proceeds thereof, as directed In Section of this act. and the convict board shall procure from the county treasurers, or from any other source. the necessary information to enable the board to make the apportionment to meet the expenses of the fine and forfeiture fund.
 Section 8. That quartely the State shall issue warrants as above directed in Section 1. the amount due and going to said counties each for the past pre- ceding months.
 Section 4. Be it further enacted. That all laws and parts of laws in con- flict with this act, be and the same are hereby repealed"

State Wants Famous Red Jacket
 Placed on the Capitol Grounds.

was presented to the city of Columbus, and now occupies position on the lawn of the Columbus municipal build ing.
 Dr. owen realizes the fact that the old red jacket is cherished by the citi- gems of Columbus but when a promise is made to them that 1t will be given a position of honor on the grounds or the Alabama Capitol, "The Cradle of the Confederacy," and that Columbus and the Columbus Guards will be given full credit, he thinks he will be able to obtain possession of 1t.
 One of the most historic relics Of the civil war, which now occupies posi- tion of prominence in the exhibit nall of the Department of Archives and His- tory, Is an old mortar gun. made In blacksmith shop of Columbus, Ga. and was made from an axle shaft of one of the old steamboats there at that time. This was used In defending Co., lumbus at the time the Yankees occu- nied strong positions on the opposite side of the Chattahoochee river.

The tentative plans which will be made possible by the appropriation, embrace a scheme of Capitol improve ment which will make the Alabama State House among the handsomest in the South. As 1t now stands. the State of Georgia, on the east, and the State of Mississippi on the west, have Capi- tols that are costilier and more beau tiful than the lopsided structure of Alabama, in spite of its beautiful scheme of architecture.
 For one thing, if the full appropria- tion Is passed, a new entrance will be built on Union Street. Like the Na- tional Capitol at Washington, 1t will face both east and west The part of the building which is now devoted to the Supreme Court will be completely remodelled, and a handsome entrance will be constructed, opening on Union Street.
 Representative Goodwin said in re- gard to the Capitol Improvements:
 If the people of Montgomery do not object, am going to keep coming to the Legislature of Alabama, until get that Capitol improved. I am com ing back again if they beat this bill this time, and am going to keep com ing until Alabama has a Capitol com mensurate with its importance.
 The bill has already passed the House.

WILL SUPPORT BILL
GOOD ROADS PEOPLE ENDORSE
 OVERTON'S MEASURE.
Proposition Made at Conference to Change Constitution to Permit Convict Funds to be Used
 for Highways,

For the purpose of supporting Sen ator Overtons measure for good roads, the Alabama Good Roads Association met yesterday afternoon in the rooms of Senator John H. Bankhead at the New Exchange Hotel. There were present Senator Bankhead, John w. Overton, J. A. Roundtree, John Craft. B. F. Roden, w. c. Dinwiddie and W. M. Drennen.
 The association decided to push the good roads bill that Is now before the Senate Committee on Commerce and Common Carriers. The bill calls for the appointment of a commission of three by the Governor, who shall not be salaried officials, and for the ap- poiptment of an engineer who shall receive salary of from $2,oO0 to S3,- 900 a year
 The bill also provides that the con Vict fund amounting 70 from SZo0,0OB to $30O,000 annually. shall be. appro- priated for the purpose of building good roads, this sum to be divided among the sixty-seven counties of tae portioned. however, it will be neces- sary for the county to provide an equal sum for this purpose,
 Some discussion was had as to whether this bill was constit utio9aI, it being suggested that under the con stitution the convict funds cannot ne overcome this. Senator Overton will, if it be deemed necessary. introduce a bill providing for a change of sec ton 93 of the constitution, which wi:l permit the people of the state to vote on this question.
 Senator Overton says he intends to fight for this measure for all he is wort'n his first effort being to get the bill approved bY the committee.
 There is nothing SO necessary dt this time as good roads," said the sen ator, and I believe this is the proper way to go about getting them.

LIABILITY BILL UP
SENATE COMMITTEE DECLINES TO
 ACT ON IT.
Underxtood that Employes' Measure VIII Be Allowed to slumber, Rather Than Be Adversed
 By the Senators.

The Employers Liability Bill. against which such a strong protest has been made by the companies and individuals employing labor in Alabama, did not get a favorable report yesterday from the Senate Committee on Judiciary. Nor was 1t endorsed.
 The committee held the bill up for future action. But it Is understood that the bill will not be pushed. and that it will never get out of the Ju- diciary Committee It Is further un- derstood that if the bill was pushed it would probably be adversed.
 On the other hand, the intimation has been carried to the members of the committee that the new Code has made provisions which will make such changes in employers responsibility As will satisfy the members who have been demanding a change in the law
 In the opinion of many of the Sena- tors the Employers Liability Blu, which was so much discussed last win ter, was a very radical measure and endangered the welfare of any indus- trial enterprise started in the State. taken of the measure.
 l Ho new SooS, 'C ID SoAA, S~'A provision that if any employe notifies an employer of defect in an equip ment and Is later injured by the equip- ment he can sue and recover dam ages. The full scope of this part of the code is not known. however. and 1t will be closely watched in the con- sideration of the new code.
 The Judiciary Committee, of which Senator Lusk is chairman. had several measures of minor importance before 1t that were brought over from last winter. These were bills correcting some alleged defects in practice and of importance only to lawyers in some counties. The committee cleared the calendar of these measures by putting them on the adverse calander.

Convention Number of Atlanta Nigga
 zine.

The special Southern Newspaper Publishers Convention number of Practical Advertising, published by St. Elmo Massenga1e, at Atlanta, and the only magazine in the South devoted ex- clusively to advertising, has already received the highest commendation from the largest publishers in the South. It was at this recent conven- ton that Practical Advertising was made the official organ of the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association. and their action has greatly increased its influence and circulation. While much of this special number is devoted to the annual gathering of the publishers, there are many other articles of gen. eral and special interest. and khe num- her has been conceded on every side to be by far the best in its history. Prac- tical Advertising is now we'll into its third volume, and long ago passed the experimental stage. That 1t has been a real factor in the upbuilding of ad- vertising in the South has been widely acknowledged, and that 1t Is today more than ever one of the great uplifts for Southern publicity is equally true.
 In addition to the official report of the convention, St. Elmo Massengale the publisher, contributes most inter- esting article on the great gathering from personal polnL or view, while another article from the versatile pen of Major '. c. Hemphill of The Charleston News and Courier. is anoth- CT feature.
 There are any number of other arti cles of profitable interest, most of which are illustrated. One of these by Joel Hunter, on Newspaper Costs" is certain to be of practical benefit to all newspaper makers. In the editorial columns. Alan Rogers, the editor. takes up subjects of the most pertinent in terest, while special departments also add to the genuine entertainment of the reader. Many pages of advertising prove that this medium is widely rec ognized by the leading publishers and advertisers of the country. Adv.

Representative Lamar Smith. of El- more county, has prepared and will introduce on Friday a bill to require au court witness to be paid by the convict revenue fund. The bill pledges the convict fund to maintain the in tegrity of the fine and forfeiture fund of each county.

 One of the most important proVis- ions of the Smith bill is the placing of the county convicts under the charge of the State Convict Department, This change in convict administration has been the subject of considerable dis-

FAIR FOR DECATURs.
Business Men May Promote Count!
 ExpOsiti0m.

Decatur. July 10.-(Special)- )-There is a probability of the Decaturs or ganizing County fair association and establishing fair grounds on the out skirts of the city.
 The matter is being talked by the business men of the two Decaturs and 1t Is quite probable that a fair will be arranged for this fall.
 There has not been County fair in this county since the civil war. There are in this section of the State some as fine racing horses as are to be found in the South and 1t is believed by lovers of horse flesh that the estab- lishment of a county fair here would be the means of making of the DecA- turs one of the most noted racing cen ters in the South.
