AURORA BOREALIS
VISIBLE TONIGHT
Professor Brashear Allegheny Observatory Discovers Great
Sun Spots Which Will Result in Electrical Disturb
ances Throughout the Country-Can be Seen
Through Smoked Glass

Besides this great group of spots, there
are three other groups to the west Of IT,.
and a fourth is just leaving the sun on
the eastern side. The great spo1 can be
readily seen by the naked eye with a
piece of smoked glass Indeed. my at
tention was called to it by gentleman
who saw It through the morning fog.
I'VE have been observing the spot with
great interest all day. measuring it and
estimating its size 1t is great spot,
stretching an eighth of the way across
the sun.
ut comes at a time when 1t is not
usual to expect sun spots and is of great
er interest for chat reason. Why 1t ap-
pears now is not explained"
Yesterday afternoon spot on the face
Of the sun was visible from Birming-
ham.
Between the hours of 4 and 6 o'clock
numerous people watched the strange
phenomenon The afternoon was cloudy,
and as the sun began to lower itself INTO
the depths Of the west the eye was no
longer blinded The spot appeared IN an
obiong shape. and occupied about one
sixteenth OF the total area Of the sun s
surface
Spots on the sun have been seen on
numerous occasions, and the old supersti-
ton is that they purtend international
strife. The last time SPOT was noted
i'm Birmingham, according to the discus
soins Of those who watched yesterday,
was JUST previous to the late Spanish
American war

Washington, February 13-(Special.)-
Colonel Livingston of Georgia and Judge
Bartlett of Georgia came to me and re-
quested that the matter of a sub-treasury
in the southeastern states be allowed to
go over. 1 replied: With the greatest
of pleasure The Georgia people asked
us to let it go over"
The above statement was made to a rep
resentative of The Age-Herald today by
representative Watson OF Indiana, a
member of the ways and means COM
mittee.
BY vote of to the ways and means
committee this morning osclied against
the establishment of. a .sub-treasury in
the southeastern states. One republican
voted with the four democrats in favor
of Representative Underwood's motion for
the establishment of such sub-treasury.
The votes cast against the proposition
were all republican.
The democrats in the committee were
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1907-02-14

solid for a sub-treasury, and following
the recent action of the caucus composed
of states interested, were for its location
at Birmingham.
The republicans ON the committee gave
as an excuse for their votes that there
were now too many sub-treasuries some
of them should be abolished or they
should be more equally distributed They
said that Seattle, Omaha, Minneapolis
and other points wanted sub-treasuries
and in the event that a city in the south
east was given one other cities might
have to be provided for. This is the Off
cial reason for the defeat Of the propo-
sltIon in the committee today.
The real reason why the people of the
southeastern states are to be deprived of
the benefits of a sub-treasury is wholly
embraced in the quotation from Repre-
sentative Watson, republican member Of
the ways and means committee, which is
given above.

DETAILS ARE REPULSlVE
Doesn't Read the Stories of Nauseating
Depravity, But Thinks Attorneys
Do Their Duty-CesspooIs
Must Be Cleaned.

Baltimore. February 13.-The News to-
day publishes an interview with Attorney
General Bonaparte on the Thaw case.
The Attorney General does not express
any opinion touching the legal phase of
the matter. He says:
personally | take very little interest
in the Thaw trial and have read hardly
ANYTHING beyond the head lines, and but
few of these about it, in the newspapers
since It began. This is partly because
I have been busy, but mainly because
all the attendant circumstances OF the
tragedy are very repulsive and disgust
ing and | see no reason to trouble my
mind with them. It is no doubt the duty
Of the Judge. the prosecutor and the
iurv and the prisoners counsel, and the
bailiffs. and the court officers to listen
to such revolving details, because this
is necessary to the administration of JUS
tice. If [ were one Of them or If 1t were
my duty to do the like for any other good
reason, ! should discharge that duty
without complaint; but as 1t is not, |
see no reason why ] should occupy my
thoughts with nauseating cases of de-
pravity.
''somebody must clean out sinks and
cesspools to preserve public health, and
such work is as creditable and useful as
any other, but I at least, feel no inclina-
ton to take part in it as a matter of
choice. and the cleaning out of these
moral sinks and cesspools, through the
operation of the criminal law, although
equally vital to the welfare of the COM
munity, is to my mind even more un-
pleasant As for the newspapers which
give these details 1 think their course
indicates what kind OF people they wish
and expect to have as readers; they pro-
vide the wares their customers want, or
which they think their customers want.
and probably their Judgment as 10 the
taste Of the latter may be trusted"

Agree on Coal Land Bill.

Washington, February 1s.-A compro-
mise coal land bill was finally agreed upon
by the House committee on public lands
today and recommended for favorable
report. 1t falls far short Of the pro-
gramme outlined for the withdrawal OF
all coal land from entry and the leasing

TO DEEPEN HARBORS
SOUTHERN CITIES
Senate Committee viii Make Recon-.
mendation as to Savannah and
Galveston.

Washington, February 13-The Senate
committee on commerce today agreed to
recommend a number of important
amendments looking to the deepening Of
Savannah and Galveston harbors, and
for the construction of lock and dam
No. Z on the Ohio river near Pittsburg.
Unsuccessful efforts were made to se-
cure the incorporation of these proyis-
ions by the House. and there Is some
apprehension that they may be lost in
conference, even If they are accepted by
the Senate.
There has been some informal discus
sion IT, the committee of the projected
deep waterway between Chicago and St.
Louis, but no action has been taken.
The committee expects to report the
bill before the close of the week, or at
the latest early next week

ALL SENATORS TO TOg
MINORITYLEADERS
II Present Plan Is Not Changed-May
Adopt Suggestion of Senator
Morgan.

Washington. February 13.-(Special)-
Every democratic senator is henceforth to
be a minority leader If the present plan
does not go astray. After vainly trying to
agree on some senator to take the place
now held by Senator Blackburn of Ken
lucky, whose term expires March 4, the
minority statesmen in the upper house
have about decided to adopt a suggestion
of Senator Morgan and havs no minority
leader as such, but allow each democratic
senator to fight under his own flag "A
sort of political guerrilla warfare" Mr..
Morgan characterized it. This will combat
the tendency toward Capitalization OF
power against which democratic senators
have been inveighing.

NEW USE FOR HANDKERcHIEFs.

The use of borders on so many of
the new waists and dresses gives the
inventive girl another way Of using
fancy bordered handkerchiefs. They
are being made into waists this time
not merely kimonos to wear in the Sc
clusion of ones own room, where no
body can see how pretty they are, but
really, truly waists for festive occa-
sions They are made in overblouse
style. to wear over a lingerie waist.
They may be of silk, linen. printed
cotton, or foulard. The handkerchiefs
may be white. ecru. or any other color.
in fact, with pronounced and distinct
borders Of solid color dots or Persian
design.
Two handkerchiefs are needed for
the front and two for the back. Take
two pieces Of insertion as long as the
shoulder and lay two handkerchief
together, one on top of the other.
Use this insertion to join two sides of
the handkerchiefs, beginning four
inches from the corner. This forms
the shoulders and one front and back.
In a like manner join the other two
handkerchiefs. Join the two fronts
with the insertion. leaving the two
ends open four inches down. Join the
/ back, leaving four inches from just the
end. nearest the neck Three tucks
which are larger at the waist line than
at the shoulder are employed 10 make
the overblouse fit
The two corners at the neck in the
back are now turned down the four
inches and this produces an effect OF
little pointed tabs. The open corners
/ at the neck and waist line in front are
/ treated the same manner, giving
! the garment a chic appearance. The
underarm pieces are stitched merely
/ two inches above the belt, which
leaves wide armhole. giving the
kimono effect The blouse is then
gathered into a belt at the waist.
