A Road Mada of Ants.

OF the ants in Venezuela Professor
Hiram Bingham says: cat one place on
the sandy trail the ants had formed a
living causeway over the fine sand OF
the path in order to facilitate the
great speed at which the majority
wished to travel. The causeway was
over two inches wide and from one
to three ants deep. So firmly did the
'bridgeites' hold together, l lifted the
causeway four inches from the grouno

PR0HIS WILL MEET
MAY ASK FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT.
Anti-salOon Leaguers WIN Assemble in
Birmingham TOmOrrOw-GOver-
nor Conner To Be Asked
For More Laws.

Birmingham, June 5.-(Special. AT
the meeting of the headquarters COM
mittee of the Anti-Saloon League Mon
day afternoon In this city. the advis-
ability of asking Governor Conner to
incorporate in his call for the extra
session OF the Legislature the ques-
ton OF submitting q constitutional
prohibition amendment to the vote OF
the people. will be considered.
There is a difference of opinion as
to what the result of the delibera-
lions OF the committee will be.
At the State convention of the league
held In Birmingham some months ago
the organization expressed no appre-
hension whatever of submitting the
matter to vote of the people. The
league declared that this should be
done at the next session of the Leg
islature. The extra session was not
contemplated at that time, however
1t is generally accepted as true that
the Governor will include in his call
mention of the urgent necessity for
closing some of the loop holes Through
which certain violators of the statute
have escaped the punishment designed
for them by the act
The prevailing sentiment among the
members of the league and prohibition
forces in this section Is that the mat
ter should be brought to a vote as
early as possible. There is no fear
expressed here that the amendment
would fail.
hTe meeting here Monday will be
held in the ONCE of Rev. Brooks Law
renee, State agent for the Anti-saloor
League. Mr.. Lawrence declines to dis.
cuss what action the committee IL
likely to take on the subject.
The headquarters committee of the
Anti Saloon League is composed of the
following well known men of the
state: Rev. w. B. Crumpton, presi
dent, Montgomery; Rev. L. S. Dobbs
Birmingham. vice president; Rev. I
D. Steele, Birmingham. secretary and
treasurer; r. NJ. Goodall, DR.. J. H
Mccoy, P. C. Ratliff and Judge s
D. Weakley, all OF Birmingham. Judge
Weakley is general counsel for the

CONGRESS

washington, June 6.-After devoting
the larger portion Of the day to listen
ing to q discussion of the cotton cloth
schedule, the Senate entered into q
period Of voting late In the afternoon
and very rapidly disposed OF the entire
subject of changing from ad valofem
to SPECIFIC duties for the purpose of
preventing undervaluations. On all the
votes taken the Finance Committee was
sustained by q majority Of ten or
eleven. ~.aa9--'er .-=ss-------l----
Three ballots were necessary to ae-
complish this result and others would
have beeh necessary but for Senator
Bacon, who, seeing the futility of op-
posing the Committee. suggested the
grouping Of the votes after the first
two ballots hdd been taken. This sug-
gestion was unanimously agreed to
with the result that so much was ac-
eomplished that a night session was
not held. Il
Senator Dolliver occupied much OF
the time with a speech In which he in
dulged in much caustic criticism Of the
methods of the Finance Committee. He
declared that Saaators Aldrich and
Smoot. of that Committee, were at va
rance in their estimates of the effect
of the Committees action on the cotton
schedule, the former contending that
there had been a change Of only 10
per cent, while MT. Smoot had placed
the change at 30 per cent Mr.. Aid
rich was. however. prompt In his cor
rection Of this statement, asserting
that his use of the 10 per cent estimate
applied to cotton importations affect
ed by the bill and not to the changes
in duties. Mr.. Dolliver also gave much
attention to petition numerously
signed by leading merchants of New
York for the retention of the Dingley
law rates on cotton, and when Mr.. Aid
rich attempted to show that most of
the signatures were those of import
ers, the Iowa Senator replied by read
ing the names of many who were not
engaged in that business.
The latter portion Of the days ses-
sion was devoted to a discussion of the
Committees change as in the interest
of higher duties, and when Mr.. Aldrich
explained that very small per cent
age of the importations were affected
by the substitution of specific for ad
valorem duties the Iowa Senator re-
sponded that, however small the
change. 1t should be made along right
lines.
The votes on the change of system
were then taken, after which the Sen
ate at $3.50 p. m. adjourned until Mon
