The rainfall was prc "tically all in the form of thunder showers. and was very unevenly distributed. Although these showers were Of almost daily occurrence. the weekly rainfall in many sections was light. notably in Mobile. Lowndes. and Jef- ferson counties, and in the Coosa valley to the northward of Lincoln. Taladega Coun- ties. In these sections, however, rain was not needed. Tn the Tennessee valley. from Decatur westward. the total amount was much in excess et the normal; 1t was also quite heavy in the west-central and south eastern parts of the State. In the latter section there has been less precipitation dur ing the last month than in other districts and the rains were beneficial There were also other widely scattered districts that re- ceived needed rains Hail was reported from various portions of the State but 1t 1t caused no damage worthy of note Despite the frequency of the thunder showers, there was an ample amount of sunshine.

FOR FIVE-CENT RATE
RAILROAD COMMISSION HEARS
 STREET RAILWAY CASE.
Citizens of Conner and vinesville Object to Paying Robert Jemisen's Com-
 pany Ten Cents for
 Their Transportation.

The Alabama Railroad Commission yesterday took up for the first time under the new law, the regulation of the rates of a street car company.
 The Commission, by act of the Leg islature at the winter session, was empowered to regulate rates on street car companies when these companies operated eithr a passenger or a freight service beyond the limits of the city in which it has its principal business.
 The case was one affecting the Bir- mingham Light and Power Company and citizens of Conner and Vinesville, two suburban towns of Birmingham. These towns are in what is called the "ten-cent belt" of the company; that is, the belt for which the company has made a rate of 10 cents. The petition of the citizens requested the Commits sion to enforce 5-cent rate instead of 10-cent rate.
 The company was represented at the hearing by John P. Tillman of Bir- mingham.
 No decision was announced yester- day. The Commission will hold anoth- CT session today. The decision in the Mobile depot matter will be announced and perhaps the Birmingham case will be decided.

LAWYER DISBARRED
SUPREME COURT RULES ON JoHN- SON CASE.
shelby County Attorney Held te Have Violated His Oath When He Wrote Insulting Letter
 te Judge.

Wiley T. Johnson, . lawyer living at Helena. has been disbarred from the practice of law in Alabama because he wrote an abusive letter to Circuit Judge John Pelham. on account Of a fancied grievance in which he threat ened to denounce the Judge in every paper in shelby County.
 The Supreme Court of Alabama yes- terday affirmed the disbarment pro- ceedings which had been had in the Shelby County Circuit Court.
 The proceedings were brought by So- licitor Borden H. Burr. on account of the insulting letter which Johnson sent to Judge Pelham in January. 1906. Johnson was representing in the court a prisoner. E. S. Cary. He claimed that he and the prisoner had been treated unfairly by the Circuit Judge and in an inexpiicable burst of anger he sent the Judge an abusive letter. Though Johnson had the credentfa of . lawyer the letter is marked by vio- lence done the English language and by a fine disregard of all rules of spell ing.
 The letter in part was as follows:
 Helena. Ala, Jan. IF, 1906. Hon. John Pelham, Anniston. Ala:
 "Sir: In company yesterday with B. S. Cary on my way to Birmingham, l he was in jail and in the night time you called on him and expressed your sorrow for him and that you acted as you did towards him much on account of your dislike for me. It Is useless for me to tell my contempt for any man that Is small enough to do such an act and then admit it. In future want you to act the gentleman Gin court) towards me and on the outside of court. You will have to do it or will know the reason why. I was born and raised in Shelby County and | am willing to go on my record to the | grave for my fair. open dealing with and towards my fellow man. I car | have no patience or respect for a Cir | cult Judge who will so far forget his | oath of office as to Cat night) and du' | ring the trial with the Sol. and Go | Sol and feast on cartridges and dis.
 cuss how and why certain mar
 should be tried"
 | The last paragraph of the letter il | devoted to demand for an apology ant
 a declaration that If the apology wal l not forthcoming he would dencunce tn, l judge in the county papers under cer

 ter Solicitor Burr immediately set fl | motion disbarment proceedings baset
 on the charge that in his fragrant dis | regard and contempt for the court an,
 his insult to the presiding judge. John

 that Johnson should be forbidden th' | practice of law in Alabama.

ObStructing AIabama's DeveIOpment. ARa-HAra1d


 Every day brings news of this or that enterprise in some section of the State that stands blocked by the want of capital, which cannot be procured from other States by the new tax laid on foreign loans. They consider the tax notice to keep away, and they are doing 1t.
 Capital is proverbially timid, and in the present stage of development in this wonderfully endowed State--en- dowed by nature-it Is pity to turn aside to other States the inflow of capital. If the tax be maintained 1t will check our growth seriously. It will put the State lower in the lists compel us to depend altogether on home capital which is sadly deficient Home capital may in the long run become equal to the development of our nat uraI resources, but it will not reach that point in the coming generation.
 When outside capital Is invited rath- CT than repelled in forty-two States, is 1t wise in this State to join the two States that tax foreign loans? Is 1t practical statesmanship to deprive the people of this State of an aid that stands ready to come in when 1t en- counters no hostile legislation? The Legislature will soon meet, and 1t should seriously consider the moral ef- foreign capital out of this State. It should look at the question impartial ly, without obstinacy of opinion or prejudice of any sort. Horse sense alone is needed in the treatment of the subject. Do we need outside cap- itai, or do we not? That Is the ques- tion.

Dees Net Excuse Man owning The h. sfrument Frem Payfng Heguisr State Levy Thereen-Trsc-
 tior Company Wtns.

The mortgage tax assessed by the State of fifteen cents on the hundred dollars, is nothing more nor less than a recording fee and does not excuse the man owning the mortgage from paying the regular state tax rms IS ferdav by the Alabama Supreme Court. 1t was written by Judge John Anderson and concurred in by other members of the court.
 A Montgomery case called for the de- cfsfon. The case in question was the attemut of Sellers and Orum, well known cotton warehouse firm or Mont- gomery, to show legally that the pay ment of the special mortgage tax re- lieved mortgages from any iur.neI .ax .e alton. The court. however refused " take that view of it.
 The firm was assessed for taxes on some $20.0o0 worth of mortgages "nicn 1t owned and on which 1t had paia the special mortgage tax on iiIteen cents on the hundred dollars. The nrm set mn the claim that the payment or that mortgage tax. under the law ex- cused them from paying further assess ments upon it.
 The case went against the nrm m .ne City Court of Montgomery put mas immediately taken to the supreme Court. The court, in the opinion rem dered yesterday. held that the so, called mortgage tax was nothing more or less than a recording fee and not d tax in the accepted sense of the wore nor did it excuse the owners Of mort, gages from paying the other assesseo taxes.
