WORKING ON ANNEX FUR ST. v|NCENTS Ladies' Auxiliary Will Give
 Grand Bazaar ID BE HELD NEXT MONTH Proposed Wing to Present Building Will Cost About ooo-Hand-
 some Contributions AL
 ready Made.

The Ladies Auxiliary of St. Vincents hospital are arranging to hold a grand bazaar the last week in November. It will be for the benefit of the building fund being collected for the purpose of erecting a S50,000 wing to the hospital. Progress was being made in the work of canvassing for this fund when the panic of last October caused the committee to suspend its efforts. The Sheffield company subscribed slO00 and promptly sent in its check Loveman. Joseph Ss Loeb sent their check for a generous amount and several others who sub- scribed also paid in the amounted do- hated But the committee thought it best to wait until general prosperity re- turned before resuming it's work.
 The ladies of the Auxiliary association hope to realize a large sum from the bazaar, and after the election is over tho committee will undertake to raise tha rest of the money needed for the wing.
 The magnificent hospital as 1t stands was built by the Sisters of Charity out of the general fund of the society. 1t cost upwards of 5000 All that the citi- gems of Birmingham were asked to raise
 
 the enterprise. Birmingham was com paratively poor in those days-abeut 10 years ago-but after a good deal of effort something like sio.o0O was collected for the sisters.
 The place for holding the bazaar has not yet been announced, but the ladies are planning various booths and contests and are determined to make the affair brilliant from every point of view.
 St. Vincents hospital booth will have the following contests: For handsome doll, for beautiful electric lamp and for 5 gold piece.
 These are the contestants so far entered for the doll: Leila Robinson, Bertha Pressly, Augusta Mason, Elizabeth Prince, Louise Heacock. Lillian Fox, Elizabeth Jordan, Mary Peters. These children are the children of well-known physicians.
 The entries for the electric lamp are the following undertakers: The Green company, Shaw & Son, and Lige Loy; and for the $5 gold piece the contestants will be Miss Mary Drennen. graduate nurse, and Miss Mary Brantley, pupil nurse-both of St. Vincents.

WATER POWER PLAN
SENATE COMMITTEE TURNS DOWN
 ROOsEvELT's SUGGESTION.
President Desired Legislation Author ixing Government to Make Charge For Use of Water 0f Streams
 For Power Purposes.

Washington, April 30.-The presi- dents suggestion. looking to legisia- tion authorizing the government to make a charge for the use of water of streams for power purposes. was negatived by the Senate committee on commerce.
 The matter received consideration be- fore the committee in connection with bill introduced by Senator Stone. auth orizing the construction. of dam across the James River in Missouri and received thorough discussion at the hands of the committee. The vote was three in favor of the proposition to five against 1t. There was only a bare quorum of the committee present and the result can scarcely be accept ed as final announcement of the committee's policy on the subject.
 Among others who took a position antagonistic to the president was Sem ator Nelson, who took the position that such a provision as that desired by the president would deprive the states and riparian land owners of all rights to the use of water which are now guar anteed by law and concentrate their disposal and control in the federal government. e8
 The committee also gave considera- tion to Senator Newland's bill for the Improvement of the Inland waterways and decided to take up that subject at a meeting to be held next Saturday. The bill provides for the. creation of an inland waterways commission and proposes an appropriation of s50.00o.000 year for the improvement of inland water courses. The sub committee which has had the matter under cnn- sideration, has reduced the appropria. tion it will recommend for the first year to S10,000,000. Originally 1t was cal- culated that much of the money neces- sary to meet the expenses of the pro- posed commission would be derived from the sale of water power. but if the action taken by the Commerce Committee today proves to be decisive, that source of revenue will be cut of and if the Newlands bill becomes a law, 1t will become necessary to find some other means of carrying it into effect

The Mayor said that while the city. with its limited force. would do all possible to ameliorate conditions, the citizens would neces- sarily have to do their part.
 The following Is copy of the sec- tion cited by Mayor Teasue:
 Tt shall be unlawful for the owner or agent of any real property to allow or suffer the sidewalks adjacent to such real property to become or remain in bad order or out of repair. or when the same are paved. to allow the pave- ment to remain in bad order, and any such owner or agent after being mo- tiled as provided: in this Code, to put such sidewalk or pavement in good order, fails or refuses to do. without a lawful excuse, shall be lined not less than one nor more than one hundred dollars"

NEW CODE EFFECTIVE

 ERNOE1's PROCLAMATION.
One of Many Changes Noted Yesterday in Licensing of Candidates for Bar by Supreme
 Court.

The new Code of Alabama becomes ef. fective today through the proclamation oi Governor Conner As prepared by the Code Commission and adopted by the Legislature it displaces the old Code and becomes the statutory law of Alaabma.
 The proclamation of the Governor was made thirty days ago when the formal and official announcement that the new Code would become effective today.
 Among the changes that the new Code makes was interestingly noted yesterday when six persons. one of them a woman. were licensed by the Supreme Court to practice law. They are the last to be H. censed after examination under the old Code which provided for examination of appn- cants by the courts. Tha new Code em- braces the enactment of legislation creat- ing a board of examiners which will meet in February and July of each year for the examination of candidates.
