Iu.., I TAX WILL
 NEVER BE LEVIED
RESOLUTION WAS NOT PASSED IN LEGAL FORM AND OPPOSITION TO THE MEASURE APPEARS TO BE GROWING.

The collection of any street tax, if ever, is so far distant that tine merchants and people of Birmingham are not worrying about it. The resolution passed last night, according to the city attorney, is not 8 law of the city, as it was not passed in due form. Being of premature nature, 1t should have been referred to a com 1nittee. as unanimous consent for It's pass age was not granted
 The Mayor will no doubt take that ground, and as executive officer he will refuse to enforce the law. Hence it can only be considered as introduced, to be passed upon at the next meeting. In case it is passed at that time, two weeks re- main. during which time the Mayor will veto it again. and as it cannot be passed over his veto without 13 votes, since the vote stands 10 to s, the street tax is evidently dead and there is little chance of it's being passed.
 There was more talk about the resoiu- ton abolishing the High school tuition than anything else. Many state that 1t is inconsistent for aldermen who argued so earnestly for street tax 10 be favoring the abolishmenc pr tax E'hcli is far less oppressive While t is granted to be a nuisance yet the aldermen do not think this the proper time to repeal it, and 1t will more than likely remain as 1t is.

Plea For Indian Schools.

Washington, February 6.-The House of Representatives today resumed consider ation of the Indian appropriation bill. For the first time in several days remarks pertinent to the measure were delivered when Mir Gardner of Michigan cham pioned the cause of non-reservation schools, which the bill proposes to abolish. He sarcastically referred to the political debate which had taken place while the bill technically was up for discussion and said he was sure that he did not owe the House an apology for assuming to speak on it. He severely condemned the propo- sition to do away with the non-reserva- ton schools at the behest of one man-the commissioner of Indian afrairs-and urged the House not to break down a system of education which had been built up at great expense and with great care and which had received the approval of ad- minstratlon after administration for 5o years

FRANCO IN MADRID.
Former Premier Stops While and
 Then Starts For France.

Madrid, February 6.--Senhor Franco, the former Premier of Portugal arrived here today from Lisbon. He was accom- panied by his wife and son and one of his intimate friends, Senhor Novas. He is doing all possible to preserve the strictest incognito. So far as is known he has received no one at the hotel where he is stopping, with the exception of the Portuguese minister to Spain and the civil governor of Madrid.
 Few persons saw Franco when he ar- rived and scarcely any one recognized ped he hurriedly stepped down with over coat collar turned up and hat down over his head, seeking to escape possible iden- tificaton.
 Word had privately reached the rail- road authorities from the frontier sta ton of Alcantara that Franco was a passenger on board the express going to Madrid and they immediately ar ranged an effective though unobtrusive police detail at the station. On the ar rival of the train. Senhor Franco quickly descended the steps from the car and held out his hand to aid his wife. As he turned, it could be seen that Franco's S face was drawn and careworn. his mien as of one depressed and greatly wearied. He peered up and down the platform dis trustfully. almost fearfully
 The police drew up on either side of the party. who hastily entered carriages and drove rapidly away. They went di- rectly to the Hotel de Ia Paix. where the former premier secluded himself in his private apartment
 A gordon of detectives was immediate 1y thrown around the hotel. An official who watched Senhor Franco for long time desci bed his appearance in the fol- lowing words:
 'He locks i'll. dreadfully i'll: his face is lined and pallid and shows great suf- ferlng. He seems like man in great fesr."
 Aaldrid newspapers, winch appeared on the streets after Franco's arrival, stated that Francos journey here was really a flight protected py police"
 Franco and party drove from the hotel to the station this evening and embarked on the south express at S:05. It Is un- derstood that his destination is Paris. where his train Is due at 9H Friday 1f

MISS CUNNINGHAM
 DIES FROM BURNS
POPULAR YOUNG LADY AT MONTE VALID SCHOOL WAS BURNED WHILE TRYING TO ExTINGUlsH ALCOHOL LAMP IN ROOM.

Miss Condie Cunningham died last night at 10 o'clock at the Girls Industrial school in Montevallo from the burns she received last Tuesday night by her clothing catching on fire from an alcohol lamp. Miss Cunningham is the daugh- ter of W. C. Cunningham, clerk of the inferior criminal court, and her parents were at her bedside in the dormitory when death came
 The remains will arrive in Birmingham over the Louisville and Nashville rail road at noon today, being carried by pri- vate conveyance from Montevallo to Ca lera- No funeral arrangements have yet been made, but the funeral will prob ably be tomorrow morning. The body will be accompanied to Birmingham by an escort of the faculty.
 The fatal accident has cast a gloom over the entire school at Montevallo where Miss Cunningham was held in high esteem by her class mates. She was just r years of age and had been Q student at the school for the past two years.
 On Tuesday night Miss Cunningham and her room mate were busy with q chaf1ng dish in their room in the dormi- tory and while trying to extinguish the flames of the alcohol lamp her clothing caught on fire. She rushed into the hall, where the flames were soon put out .bp her school mates, but not before she had been badly burned. Her parents in Bir- mingham were immediately notified of the accident and went to Montevallo on the next train. Doctors worked hard, but their efforts were of no avail, and after AS hours of suffering the beloved student succumbed to her injuries.

EDUCATION OF INDIANS.
A Discussion Arises as to the V 'c
 of Higher Education.

Washington, February 6.-Whel InGIan appropriation bill was take in the House today on it's merits for consideration of the amendD ~ much opposition was shown by F Smith of Arizona to the section ing appropriation for collecting U, n, transporting Indian pupils to and schools not on the reserya ion. onered an amendment to limit tn, propriation to the transportation such pupils only within the sta which they reside.
 MT. Gardner of Michigan pointed many notable cases where governna educated Indians had made a mar their professional and business but MT. Smith said that if such { the case, it only resulted in putt ng the Indian in competition with citi- zens, whereas he could accomplish much good among his own people.
 This remark brought MT. Olmstead of Pennsylvania to his feet with a vigorous defense of the Carlisle school. He did not know, he said, of a single instance where any Carlisle pupil or the parent of any such pupil ever ex- ercised his hand against the govern ment.
 Money for non-reservation schools, he argued, was well expended.
 In response to question by Mr. Stephens of Texas, Mr Olmstead de. nied that Billy the Kid" an alleged outlaw, was a Carlisle student. The amendment was lost.
