La.D to Tax Foreign Money
 Lenders Has Been Repealed.

A numbet of them immediately with drew.
 The commercial bodies of the state
 became aroused to the danger which threatened the prosperity Of Alabama; The people generally wers aroused over the situation and demands were
 made upon the law makers to have the act removed from the statute books. Governor Conner came out in more than one statement supporting the tax and insisting on it's retention. The tax was originally put on at the in- sistence of the Governor. Although it came originally from the Governor. Senator Teasley and other conservative members of the Senate succeeded in arousing a sentiment which wouio have def.,ted the measure But tn, Governor insisted upon it and his insistence won over some Oi | the law makers. In this way the bill became law.
 The Governor continued to advocate and support the measure, through all the criticism of the act. As the Leg islature was on the eve of converting, however, the Governor yielded to pub lie sentiment. He announce ed he would sign a repeal bill. if a majority of the law makers passed it. This has been done. an error has
 been rectified and an issue has been settled.

The bill repeating the tax on for eign money lending companies was passed yesterday by the Senate as cas- fly and as quietly as though it was local measure of the slightest import anSe,
 No one who witnessed it's passage would have suspected that 1t was only recently a State issue. The Dill now goes to the Governor for his ap prOval. That such will be given is not doubted. The Governor has already gone on record as not opposing the bill In its present form.
 When the bill came up Senator Mil Ter, chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance and Taxation. offered few words in explanation of the measure That was all the discussion the bill had. There was not the shadow of op- position to the measure.
 The hiii simply amends the revenue law. as its title shows. Yet 1t cor l rects what was generally regarded one of the most serious errors made by the Legislature at its winter session. Al least 1t provoked a storm oD criticism It was held up as the greatest obstacie to the progress and development Of the State. Announcement was made that several of the companies lending money in Alabama would withdraw from the State because the tax was so heavy they could not do business and pay It.

FOR GREATER
 BIRMINGHAM Senate Puts King Bill on
 Calendar. DEFEAT LURKS IN THE VICTORY Friends of Measure Have Not d Single Vote to Spare. h Face of This Situation. se.at"r~ Who Voted to Take It on Ad- verse Calendar Decline to
 Pledge Themselves.
DEFEAT LURKS IN THE VICTORY

The supporters of the Greater Bir- mingham bill won a victory yesterday in the Senate but it was the nearest to . defeat that legislative victory ever was. For with the vote which took the bill from the adverse calen- dar, the friends of the measure real ized that it was nearer a defeat than ever before.
 The motion to take from the adverse calendar carried by the slender margin of one vote, 17 ayes and 16 nays. The friends of the measure did not have a single vote to spare. But what was worse. one of the Senators who voted to take the bill from the adverse cal endar, Senator Spragin announced with his vote that while he was will ing the bill should come from the ad- verse calendar before the Senate for discussion. it was his purpose to vote against the measure on its final pas sage.
 Moreover three other Senator's. Gard ner, Blackmon and Reese. wanted it distinctly understood that their vote to take from the adverse calendar did not necessarily mean that they would vote for the bill when 1t was put on it's passage.
 The friends of Greater Birmingham were glum when these things hap
  better. They had hoped, notwithstand- ing the attitude of Senator Miller, to have several votes to spare, both on taking from the adverse calendar and in passing the measure. It was a gloomy day for them.
 But they quickly revived. They had the encouragement of a number of Senators who are prepared to make the bill a State issue and who are of the J opinion that the bill should not be con- fined to a local issue which can be beaten by the attitude of one Senator They go hopefully to the fight and they will fight it out to the end.
 Attitude of Miller.
 Senator Miller of Jefferson did not openly invoke Senatorial courtesy to defeat the bill. He was asked the di' rect question:
 DO you invoke Senatorial courtesy to defeat this bill?' ssA
 That is a delicate question. Yor will excuse me from answering it, was his reply.

Hot Wave Seems to HaUe Been
 Broken by Yesterdays Sho.Ders

Section Director Chaffee of the United States Bureau said yesterday that local showers are again expected today, and that the general weather conditions were such as to indicate that the pro, Ionged hot wave had been broken, and that more seasonable weather was now expected.
 An area of high barometer covering the middle West yesterday was giving cooler weather in that section. Its eastward movement will tend to pre- vent the imunsdiate recurrence of hot weather in the South.

DAUGHTERS OF AMERICA

Mrs. George Dease of tNew York City is the enterprising founder or new society, the National Society Daughters of America. which was ln- corporated at Albany last week. The conditions of membership require that the candidates parents must have been born in this country. one grand father or grandmother, and one great grandfather or great grandmother and the last named ancestors must have been prominent or respectable" The object of the new society is to per petuate the memory of the noble wo- men of America. and to strengthen and encourage the great and earnest women of our day and generation in their exalted devotion to the cause Of humanity and the betterment of the condition of women" Mrs. Dease says she has been urged to start new society because the D. A. R. and other existing organizations are so mixed" She says -blooded American wo- men feel the need of Q society of their own.
 The degree of prominence and re- spectability" of progenitors the third generation back will be difficult to fix unless only those who have figured in history are accepted, for any informa- tion regarding the standing of the oth- CTS would naturally be nebulous and uncertain. We should think it would be sufficient and even more to the purpose to require that members or the Daughters of America should be prominent and respectable" respect able. anyhow, whatever their ances- tors may have been.

REWARD OF MERIT.

The Arizona friends of T. J. Norton, formerly attorney for the s. F. r. X P. with headquarters at Pres colt. and later counsel for the Santa Fe coast lines. will hear with pleasure of his promo ton to the position Of chief counsel for the santa Fe system with headquar- ters at Chicago This elevation comes to MT. Norton in early middle man. hood. while there is yet time for fur ther advancement.
 There is a general impression that advancement in railroad life depends upon a pull. That impression is not based upon careful observation, for there is no other business in which a pull counts for so little. It happens that a very large majority of the pres idents and general managers of the great railroad lines are men who start ed from lowly positions and developed such aptitude Cor the business that they were passed over the heads or petted darnngS WnO were Cohteht to live and die in clerical positions of lit tie responsibility, where they could dress well and live comfortably if not luxlIriously. There is no great rail- road man living who owes his place to influence or wealth. Government business proceeds in a way. hampered by incompetency lifted to place by po- litical pull and mediocrity encouraged bv the civil service, but the railroad business demands the best men, se- lected from wherever in the ranks they may be found
 The rise O. MT. Norton has been rapid. We were about to say. meteoric, only that word seems inappropriate in relation to work so unfailingly pains taking and so steadily excellent as his has been.
 Fifteen years ago he was newspa- per reporter. then a law student, then q fledgIing lawyer and nine years ago an underIing in the legal department of the Santa Fe. Now he is at the head of that great department with salary O. :20.OOO a year.

A Bold Step,

To overcome the well-grounded aBd reasonable objections of the more intel- ligent to the use of secret, medicinal con- pounds, Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. r., some time ago, decided to make bold departure from the usual course pursued By the makers of put-up medicines for do- nestle use, and so has published broad. cast and openly to the whole world, a full and compk.e list of all the ingredients entering inAe-the composition of his widely celebrated Asdicihes. Thus he has taken his numerV1s patrons and patients into his full Confidence. Thus too he has re- moved /hisIhedicines from among secret nostrfpeof doubtful merits, and made themLR Remedies of Kn0,cn Composition.
