 The Tuesday half holiday for the clerks in the stores started to-day and will be continued during the months of July and August. When the storekeepers were having 50 much agitation over the closing of the stores on Decoration day and Fourth of July there was a rumoi that the clerks would be deprived of their Tuesday half holiday, but this proved to be a story without any foundation. There is very little busl- ness in the stores on Tuesday and the majority of storekeepers are only too willing to give their employees a chance to spend the afternoon at the shore.

LAKE CLAIMS ANOTHER
Baiber Drowned al Lakewood
 Park Yesterday.


 Pasquale Scepio of 93. Park ave- hue, a tailor employed at 7S6 East Main street, was drowned yesterday afternoon at Lakewood. Accom- panied by friend, Martino Spa guolo, Scepio went to the lake about 5 o'clock, stripped and stepped in. He disappeared and that was the last seen of him until his body was picked up couple of hours later. It is evident that the man thought the bottom sloped out gradually from the bank, but in this he was de- ceived, for the water was quite deep at that point, and not knowing how to swim he was powerIess to help himself. His companion went in after him, dove down several times, but could not locate him. There were several about the place at the time. Word was telephoned to the police station and the grappling irons secured and search instituted for the body. It was taken from the water about 7~o'clock and after being viewed by Medical Examiner Crane it was turned over to Undertaken Lunny. The victim was IS years +ci age and had many friends.

THE BOY IS DEAD.
Willie DoOling Never Recovered from
 Automobile Injuries.

William Dooling, age 12, son of MT and Mrs Patrick Dooling of 257 Hamilton avenue, died this morning about 10 o'clock from the injuries received when he was struck by an automobile on East Main street Sat urday afternoon. E. P. Thinner, owner of the machine, who was at the wheel when the accident hap pened, had not been arrested up to press hour, but in all probability a warrant will be made out. Deputy Coroner Walter D. Makepeace was out of town, but was expected home this afternoon. and will immediately begin an investigation of the acci- dent. Assistant Prosecuting Attor- ney John McGrath informed the po- lice early this afternoon that he had not learned the facts of the case and would not issue a warrant until he had done so.
 The accident happened near the corner of East Main and Weltun streets and although it was evident that the boy was badly hurt his iI.- juries were not expected to prove fatal
 According to Mir Zimmer the boy ran directly from the sidewalk Tn front of the machine. He claims that the machine was travelling at slow rate of speed. as he was just pulling up to the curb to stop at Moore's drug store. He is deeply grieved over the result of the accI- dent
 The auto struck the Ooy and srnt him with much force against the curb. The boys thigh was broken, one elbow badly hurt and his body considerably bruised. Later 1t was found that the youth had concussion of the brain, which was the injury that caused his death. Young DCo- ling was rather bright chap and dis parents are all broken ID over his death. Besides his parents he leaves three sisters, Julia, Mary and Anna.

TAYLOR COMING
HERE TOMORROW
CONGRESSMAN WANTS TO GET in
TOUCH WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
OF ALABAMA FOR RIVERS AND
HARBoRs IMPROVEMENT.

Congressman George Washington
Taylor will be in Birmingham tomor-
row morning and will hold a confer
ence at II o'clock in the Commercial
club rooms with the citizens of Greater
birmingham and jefferson county who
are Interested in the development of
Aiabarha's waterways.
Congressman Taylor has fallen heir
to the place which Senator Bankhe cad
held on the rivers and harbors COM
mittee of the House, and is very anx-
ious to set in touch with the real SEN
timent and most feasible propositions
for the Improvement of waterways in
this state. He has expressed himself
as being in favor of waterways devel-
opment along national lines I. e. inn
proving those things which needed de-
velopment the most and which would
benefit the most people.
While expressing this opinion, how
ever, he also says that local develop
ment must also be looked after and
not allowed to be neglected The COIN
mercial organizations of Birmingham
are very much of the opinion that
opening of a waterway from Blrming-
ham to the gulf is the most impor
that proposition which the United
States government has to face.
It is expected that n large crowd
will attend the conference Thursday
morning as the meeting will be open
to all. Birmingham took a great deal
of interest in the waterways conveh-
ton held here last November. and this
interest has undoubtedly developed
greatly since then.
Congressman Taylor is visiting the
different parts of the state getting in
touch with the situation, and Birming-
ham is the last place he will visit on
this mission before going to Wash

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETS

Ensley. January 7.-(Special)-The Ems
ley Commercial club met tonight at their
handsome new club rooms in the office
block on Avenue E. President II. S.
Meade called the meeting to order. Sec
rotary D. ]. Flummer read the proceed
ings of the last meeting and the various
committees made report which were con-
CURED in. The special committee appoint:
ed to investigate-the service of the South
ern Bell Telephone company reported
that on investigation there was but little
ground for complaint as the company
responded promptly to any notification OF
defective service. The committee recon-
mended that vote of thanks be extended
to d. II. Turnbull. general manager of
the telephone company, for the courteous
treatment shown the committee and his
endeavors to give Ensley the best possible
service. The report was received and
recommendation concurred in.
1t was decided to invite the Hon. W. j.
Bryan to visit Ensley as the guest of the
club during his visit to this district
Considerable feeling was shown when the
question Of being annexed to Birmingham
came up, the majority being much OPP
posed to becoming a part of Greater Bir-
mingham at this time. The arguments
against the proposition were that Ensley
was distinct and apart from Birmingham,
that the schools of Ensley were equal IL
not better than those of Birmingham,
also that Ensley was the best governed
city in the south and had outlined
policy for improvement that they were
DESTROYS of carrying out. These and many
other points were raised. and from the
decided manner in which the proposed
annexation was opposed it is evident the
citizens of Ensley are as much against
being absorbed as they were when the
original King bill was drafted
The board of directors submitted their
report, which was adopted, the meeting
then adjournlng.
The president. II. S. Meale. and other
officials have labored hard to advance
the interests of Ensley and feel that
they are not being supported in their en-
deavors by those who are most benefited
as result of their labors. Every citi-
zen, be he mechanic or merchant, should
attend the meetings of the club, as by
concerted action much can be aceomp-
lished.
