and most successful of the four days
fiesta which was given in celebration
of Mexican independence. The walks
We're crowded with visitors from AL
hambra, Pasadena, South Pasadena and
other nearby towns and a large num-
ber of persons from Los Angeles.
The festivities were preceded by an
elaborate dinner of fish, roast chicken,
tamales and other Spanish delicacies,
well cooked and nicely served in an
arbor, lighted by Japanese lanters.
This most important part of the fair
was under the supervision Of Mrs p.
L. Gushing, and the tables were served
by group of pretty society bellies.
In the center of the circle formed by
the booths the police court" was estab-
lished, presided over by Miss Julia
Nicolay, assisted by Mines. Jeffries and

The performance was good, from the
opening number to the finale, and there
were flashes of unusual talent. Perhaps
the most enjoyable numbers were the
Spanish dances of Senorita Viola Yorba

dance of Miss Dorothy Briggs. Miss
Juanita Laurieux scored a success in

made a hit in Spanish songs.

ONLY OUTLAW ACT" ;,
HAS BEEN ADVERTISED

The only "outlaw Bill' introduced
at the present session Of the Legisla-
ture was yesterday advertised by de-
cisive vote of the Judiciary Commit
tee OF the House. This was taken to
indicate q decided change OF mind on
the part of members of the Legislature
towards the railroads OF the state.
At the session OF the Legislature of
1907, every "outlaw Actf" spfesented
was passed. In the meanwhile most
Of those acts have been held to be un-
constitutional. An OUTLAW Act" is
an act of the Legislature which for
bids any corporation from taking q
case from State to Federal Court.
The only act OF this kind introduced
at this session was presented by Rep
resentative Sam VIII John of Jeffer-
son, which, in effect, forbade the Sec
rotary of State from issuing license
next year to any corporation which
had In the past year transferred q case
from a state to Federal Court. I'm
der the terms OF the John Act, the
fine was made so large that It was
prohibitive.
But the Judiciary Committee of the
House yesterday afternoon killed the
bill, which meant. in effect. that there
had been enough OF such legislation.

A STIFF FIGHT ON
! FISH NET Law

There was a spi. FITTED debate befor,
the Game. Fish and forestry Commits
sion yesterday at 1880 o'clock.s-swhel
John H. Wallace. Jr.. appeared advo@
eating the Jonkin amendment to the
fish and game bill. which provides
that II shall be lawful to take fish
from any OF the navigable streams
OF the state by means of a hoop net.
Mr.. Smith of Gaisden took exception
to the amendment claiming that 1t was
discriminating against the people of
the poorer class. Mr.. Smith wanted
the amendment to read, that II shall
be lawful for fish to be taken from
any of the streams OF the state by
means Of the hoop net.
The vote In the committee was very
close. the members standing four and
four on Mr.. Smith's proposed amend
ment when the chairman voted 1t
down. A fight will be made tomor-
row to have the enactment to read to
include, all the streams
A stiff fight L. to be made. II is
said, as there has been considerable
ill-feeling from the people living along
the smaller streams. because the
amendment provides that they shall
not have the same privilege that the
people living on the navigable streams
have. II II contended that the people
living on the smaller streams are pro-
hibited from fishing for the fish which
IL Matched in their streams. but which
later go into the navigable streams,
where the hoop net catches them.

PROHIBIT NEGROES
FROM HOLDING OFFICE

The first proposed constitutional
amendment to be turned down by the
Legislature was that OF Colonel Sam

not hold once In Alabama. Colonel
John declared that he would thus cut

too importunate In their desire to hold

He explained to the House Commit

his amendment did not infringe in any
way upon the Federal Constitution OF

VIII Make One More Effort To
Include Ensley I'm Tn. Houss
BIZ.

Ensley AND DR.. Cunningham have
won their fight. 1t looks. Ensley will
not be taken into Greater Birmingham
by legislative enactment. unless q
motion, which will probably be made
upon the floor Of the House today. to
include Ensley In the terms of the bill
TOR greater city prevails.
Yesterday afternoon. the House Conn
mittee on Local Legislation, voted to
free Ensley from the terms OF the
King bill. ana to report the amended
bill favorably.
And thereby the .sanguine expecta-
tions Of the Birmingham delegation.
which was confident. after the public
hearing Tuesday night. that the Great
err Birmingham bill. including Ensley
would receive q favorable report from
the committee were shattered.
"A strenuous fight had been waged
by Ensley and by North Birmingham
to prevent themselves from being am
aexed. arbitrarily they said. by the
bill of Representative Jere King. DR..
r.. M. Cunningham, former Lieutenant
Governor headed the fight.
A public hearing was given both
sides Tuesday night, and after the
tion exulted. They saw victory, and
foresaw Ensley part OF Birmingham.
But the committee voted. II to 1, to
exclude Ensley from the bill, Chair
man Haley. Of Birmingham, casting
the single vote for the original King
bill.
Make One More Fight.
It Is likely that, when the amended
bill comes up for final consideration
by the House today, the last effort of
the Birmingham delegation to save ehc
original King bill, will be made by an
attempt toFamend the bill as reported
by lacking on Ensley again.
The fact that DR.. Felix T. Tarrant
was elected to the Legislature on the
Greater Birmingham issue--and he OPP
posed, publicly. the annexation without
referendumf-is thought to have decid-
ed the committee In its choice.
DR.. Tarrant himself declares that II
was the Greater Birmingham issue. and
not the prohibition issue. which elect
ed him, thus refuting the claims OF
the Greater Birmingham adherents
that Tarrant was elected because OF
his representation Of the prohibition
party, and not because OF his stand
in regard TO the greater city.
It now develops that the original
King bill, containing the provision as
20 the annexation Of Ensiey. could
never have passed the Legislature.
As II is, with Ensley excluded from
che general annexation. there Is lit
tie doubt but that the amended bill
will pass, both House and Senate.
North Birmingham. which protested
through It's official, Mr.. Cole. is to be
retained in the terms OF the bill and
20 be annexed.
There are some who say that Ensley
will not be unwilling to como into
Greater Birmingham II allowed to vote
on the issue through it's own citizen
ship. ana It is likely that q referendum
