censuring President Roosevelt. Assem-
blyman Folsom, when the resolution
came up for reading, had number OF
amendments which were read and adopt
ed unanimously. These eliminated all
reference to the President. Folsom said
that the Democrats of Nevada regarded
Roosevelt as the greatest Democrat elect
ed in many years.
The resolution as amended declared
that the state of California is justified in
it's action and urges that that state pass
a law that will tend to exclude the Japan
ese race: also that Nevada views with
alarm the attempted encroachment OF
government on state rights. The resolu-
ton still contains the statement that we
do not believe in the danger of war with
Japan, but we believe that if we must
have war with Japan. now is better
time than ever to lay down terms to that
empire and teach these arrogant people
that American rights cannot be encroach-
ed upon The resolution will go to the
Senate, where it probably will be trimmed
further as the Republican members of
that body express the view that 1t is
passing the bounds Of good judgment.

or Customs Men at Charleston.

Washington Feb. 2.-TOmOrrOW week
is the tentative date set for the House
to act on proposal to regulate the in
terstate shipments of intoxicating Ii
quors. Consideration of the revision of
the penal code then will be resumed
and the first subject to come UP will
be the liquor question.
When the House ceased considera-
ton OF the revision before the holi-
days, there was pending an amend
ment in the nature of an insertion, Of
fered by Rep. Humphreys of MISSISSIPPI
pi to regulate interstate shipments of
Intoxicating liquor.
Representative Watson. Chair
chairman Moon of the revision COM
mittee and others. Representatives
Humphrey and Miller Of Kansas have
prepared a new bill. This will be Of
fered by Mr. Humphrey as substi-
tute for his amendment.
The new bill which has the sanction
of the leaders on both sides Of the
House is practically the same as the
Knox bill, which passed the Senate
early in this session. The District of
Columbia and islands subject to
American jurisdiction. are brought I'M
der the action of the proposed law.
The bill strives to accomplish the
marking of the contents of vessels; the
making certain of the delivery of in
toXlcating liquor only to bona lide
consignees and the prevention of the
delivery of liquors c. o. D. All these
regulations apply only to interstate
shipments Advocates of the proposed
legislation claim that it avoids the al
legged unconstitutional features of the
Llttletield dill The Littlefield measure
made liquor shipped from one state to
another subject to state laws as soon
as it crossed the boundaries Of the
states.

The foreign minister's speech was re-
ceived with applause by the govern
ment side of the House, but Count Hat
teri, an Opposition member, immedi-
ately began a bitter and sensational
attack on the foreign policy OF the gov
eminent
He said that Japan had no deter
mined foreign policies and that this
was shown by her present attitude
toward America, where Japa hese were
denied an equal opportunity and Were
even abused by Americans. The recent
events. he said, had proved that the
anti-Japanese sentiment IN America
had not subsidized.
The speaker attacked particularly
the recently concluded agreement be-
tween Japan and America. sayi ing that
he believed that the Japanese foreign
Office was forced by the American gov
eminent to sign the agreement In or
Ger to prevent competition by the
Japanese on the Pacific coast. Count
Hattori declared that Japan's dignity
had been injured thereby and he urged
the governments to enforce the prin-
ciple of equal opportunity. Which alone
could solve the question of the rights
of japanese in foreign countries
Even the President of one country,
he added, had denied Japanese TO trav-
ell a right which was theirs by treaty.
Count Hattoris speech vas greeted
by continued cheers by the Opposition,
Minister konura replied with a few
words saving that he had outlined tho
fixed policy of his government and that
he mad nothing to add and nothing to
retract The House then adjourned.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-08-29
BY MYRTLE MILES.

In today's Age-Herald appears a group of Birmingham's little future housekeep- CTS, just as short time ago were shown a number of the lads who are expected to become the business men of the future. They bore the names of their fathers, while the little women mentioned to- day have either their mothers or grand mothers names There is little Miss Florence Jordan the pretty 7-year-old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. William M. Jordan, who is the namesake of her grandmother Mrs. Florence Jordan. She is the younger of the two sisters The older Is Miss Elizabeth Johdan. another lovely little girl, and their brother is William Jordan, Jr. Neither of the girls bears the name of their mother, who was the beautiful Augusta Sharpe of this city MT and Mrs. Solon Jacobs younger daughter is Virginia Ruffner Jacobs, the namesake of Mrs. Jacobs mother. Mrs. Jacobs as Miss Patt1e Ruffner was a Birmingham belle. Katherine Stratton Ieedy Is the beautiful little daughter of Mr and Mrs. William B. Leedy, Jr She has the maiden name of Mrs. W. B. Leedy, Sr., her paternal grandmother and not that of her mother who as Miss Mabel Roy, was a Birmingham beauty and heiress.
 There is a popular custom in most of the Birmingham families to name the eldest girl for her mother. In discussing 1t, however, with a Jewish mother, the fact developed that few girls of that faith are given their mothers names. When asked why, she said: ''The Jewish custom is to name for the dead My own little girl is called after dear sister who died several years ago"
 little lass who inherits her mother s beauty with her name is the second daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Ned Richard son McDavid-Mitylene. Mrs. McDavid was Mitylene. or "Mittie," Rose Owen, a daughter of one of the old Jefferson county families. and called the most beautiful girl in Alabama before her marriage, which took place when she

Bondurant. She and her sister Frances Alexander. are twins and while only the former has her mothers name, they are so entirely in- separable that even in their photographs their mother will not permit them to be apart Mrs. Bondurant was Miss True heart of Galveston, Tex. Mabel Thomp- son. the 4-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs J. Cary Thompson, is another love ly little girl called by her mothers name Mrs. Thompson was Miss Mabel Beasley. The name of Louise Fucker Agee recalls the belleship of her mother, Mrs w. c. Agee, who as Louise Fucker, was one of the most popular of Birming- ham society girls. Little Louise's beauty and winsomeness promise for her as happy a career as was enjoyed by the first Louise Fucker MT. and Mrs. Will liam Thompson Berry call their pretty little daughter Rebecca. Her full name is her mothers, Rebecca Cecil Berry, whom she Is strikingly like. /largaret Smith Morrow Is the lovely little daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. Hugh Morrow and another charming little girl is Nina Hood Brazelton the 3-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs. George Troupe Brazeiton.
