of business. One Of the features that is
Objectionable is the employers liability
clause.

amendments which it will seek to have

INTEREST IN HUMANE BILL.
Birmingham Glad to Hear of Favorable
Report on John Bill.

Those interested in the prevention of
cruelty to animals were glad to hear of
the favorable report of Col. Sam VIII
Johns bill yesterday. The measure al
lows humane officers jurisdiction outside
of the city limits in the county, and IN
cludes several important changes.
There are three of these societies for
the prevention of cruelty to animals In
the state at present, and all have delega-
tions at the capitol working in the inter-
est of the bill. If passed 1t will largely
increase the scope of the valuable work
which Officer Bonnie has been doing in
this city.
The bill for prevention of cruelty to
children is also to be introduced shortly,
giving humane officers authority in such
cases, and providing for the arrest of the
guilty parties. There are number OF
people in Birmingham who are watching
the action on these bills closely, and are
anxious to see them go through.

RUBBER AT BIG
SPOT ON THE SUNS FACE

Had some stranger visited Birmingham
yesterday and seen gathered on several
of the busiest corners of the streets little
knots of men rubbering and seruitinlzing
with one eye closed and the other pro-
tected by glass well smoked, his sur
prise would have been great, and his Curl
osity unbounded For it is true that Bir-
mingham generally Is considered too busy
fora person to stop and bar progress on
the open highway. In Birmingham, how
ever, no surprise was noted for every
one knew that that which interested these
men was that something was the matter
with the sun. "Old Sol' has spot, the
biggest ever known, being so many thou
sand miles in extent and so many thou
sand miles in width.
Everybody saw the spot. The scrutiny
into the heavens was continued through

CLAIMS HE BOUGHT PANTS.
Negro Is Fined, However, for Buying
Stolen Property.

Although it was proven that VIII Bliss
was wearing Columbus Roberson's pants
he was not convicted on that charge.
He managed to convince the court yester-
day that he had bought the pants from
another negro and introduced witnesses
to that effect
On his statement that he paid 90 cents
for the pants, he was fined $15 on the
ground that he bought stolen property.
Poor Columbus Robertson will have to
look further for the burglar who robbed
him of all his wearables.

PoLIcEMAN'S HOME BURNS.

Wednesday afternoon lie lives on the

out the day. In the business section Of the
city traffic was stopped. and in the resi-
dence section the baking of pies and the
sweeping of rooms went unattended To-
wards the afternoon the winds arose and
chilled the star gazers." This change
in temperature was attributed by those
looking to the fact that a portion OF the
SUMS heat was barred from the face of
the earth. Some even discussed the old
supersttution that war between nations
was probable, and even attributed the
late Spanish-Amerlean conflict TO the
fact that just previous to the breaking
out of hostilities the sun revealed a sim
liar spot.
Last night there was some disappoint-
ment in Birmingham that the borealis did
not tighten the southern sky There were
hundreds who watched, but none VINO

ceived by the North Birmingham and

SMOOTH ARTIST CAUGHT;
WORKS ALL OVER COUN7RI

Chief Deputy Brown is of the opinion
that he has made a valuable catch in
the capture of AL Newburg, who was
overtaken in Nashville last week. The
immediate charge is forging a money or
der in Birmingham with the name of
Emil Lesser for 500. which he procured
from the Postal Telegraph company.
1t is now evident that he is prac-
ticed crook. Traces are being gathered of
his tricks all over the country 1t seems
that he is working two schemes for pro-
curing transportation around the eoun-
try and his pocket money on arrival in
a city.
From papers found in his pocket he
develops into Il poser as skilled me-
chanic. The plan followed is to keep

manufacturing companies, representing
himself as an expert in their business,
and they pay his railroad fare to their
plant. The money is forwarded to him.
He goes to the city, but instead OF show
ing up for work, FORCES a money order on
some prominent citizen. and lives high
until more transportation arrives.
This was like riding In palace car,
to view the country. He was not worried
by financial matters in the least. and
always took a sleeper. When arrested he
was on the way to Toledo, o., on trans
portation furnished by machine works.
Another letter from man named Burke
showed arrangements for an automobile
to meet him at the depot and smuggle
him to safety. He is man with a record,
and further investigation will probably
open up an exciting career

she spaniIs It when It is fractions and
quarrelsome. Meat Is the easiest thing
to cook, and OF meats steak IS the
