BILL TO MOVE
 THE CAPITOL Wanted by Birmingham
 People. NEEDS A Two-THIRD VOTE People of the State Would Have to
 Ratify Plan. Bfrmfnsham Has Been So Very Modest That its Requests should Be
 Considered, Says .
 Senator.

Prohibition in the main being now settled for the present session, 1t is said the next exciting proposition in the Legislature will be bill to move the Capitol from Montgomery to Birm- ingham. The rumor was afoat last introduced today and actually pushed
 Of course. 1t is realized that the Legislature could not effect the change without the ratification by a majority of the qualified electors of the State. That is a constitutional requirement. and could not be overlooked. It Is not, however. in the class of an amendment to the Constitution, but would have members as 1t is not a subject mention ed in the Governors call.
 As the referendum theory seems to be the fad of the present Legislature, the agitation for Birmingham as Cap ital city believe 1t a good time to start their fight. It has gotten to be such a matter-of fact step to submit changes of all kinds to the people at special and general elections. that some believe the effort will be sincere to move the Capitol.
 Birmingham has been so very mod est" said Senator yesterday. that I think their requests should be care- fully considered. It is true that they have made a little noise and worried us some over Greater Birmingham and have occupied our time with commits sion government. It is true that they have attracted our attention a pit in the matter of preserving the integrity of Jefferson County and 1t may be that I have heard a little of submitting an amendment to the Constitution for the relief of Jefferson County, In the mat ter of excessive officers fees, and all that But they have been so very quiet during this session that I think we ought to be considerate and look into the merits of the Capitol moving bill. If there Is anything I like 1t Is a modest. unpretentious city and am not going to let 1t be left out of sight all the time."
 Some took the rumor as a joke. while others say 1t will be seriously under taken to make Birmingham the Capi. tol It is said that If it Is coming at all the bill will be introduced today.

UNSETTLED
 LEGISLATION Are After Trading Stamp
 People. PROPOSE HlGH LICENSE A Warm Fight is Expected on The
 Bill. The Forestry Bill Also Due to Come Up Before the House This
 Week for Con-
 siderstion.

Among the unsettled pieces of leg islation that are to claim the attention of the legislators in the latter half of the session are trading stamps and for estry regulations. It is said that a fight Is to be made on the forestry bill even with the main objectionable features cut out in committee.
 The fight on trading stamps seems to have assumed the character of a high license tax in all cities and towns where the corporations propose to op- crate. No less than $1,000 is the license fixed in a bill introduced by Mir. Tar rant of Jefferson, and reported favor ably. It Is said that the trading stamp concerns which have made good resist ance in other Legislatures before Ala bama, will make a determined stand here against adverse legislation. And it is said that they will have the CO., operation of many of the Alabama mer- chants in. larger cities. who subscribe pretty regularly to the stamp privi- lege.
 On the other hand there is a goodly number of merchants. especially in Birmingham. who have taken a live interest in the fight and will do all in their power to lift what they call the stamp incubus. on their shoulders. These appeal to the sympathy for the customer or the ultimate consumer who Is represented as the real loser in the transaction. The fighting merchants allege that they are often forced by competition to take the stamp fran chise and have to pay such price that when it is charged into the selling price of the merchandise the buyer is "stung'' with the tax. This tax IS said to represent about T per cent. "f the cost for which the customer is said to get but little value.
 To Have Easy Sailing.
 As to the forestry bill, since the sea- ture has been eliminated which would have put a limit on the size of trees to be cut, it was thought 1t would have easy sailing. It is understood that in the present form--favorably reported in the Senate--it is substan- tially a re-enactment of the present forestry law. Or at least re-enactment of what purports to be the present law, |, the report being that 1t was passed without regard to the Constitution cf the State last session. It is not known exactly what features are yet ob5ec- tionable in the measure. but light Is said to be lying in wait.
 One of the big bills that yet remain untouched in debate of either House is that changing the whole system of jury selection in Alabama. It is very lengthy document. and Is bound to consume much time in its discussion. As yet however. there has arisen no vital objection to the lAbili and it is predicted that 1t will receive solid supp port, especially among the lawyers. whose advice at least in matters of this kind the Legislature is likely to take. It is said to be similar to the Dallas County jury law.

Louisville, Ky. Aug. 15.-Intense baseball rivalry and crowding per centage columns continue to disttn- guish the race in the American Associ. ation this season.
 As a consequence the sporting pub- lie in each city Is experiencing con- stant increase of fervor for the home team, 1t being a possibility. even at division of four clubs to capture the 1909 pennant.
 Between Minneapolis and Milwaukee, first and second, respectively, are but 16 points; between Minneapolis and In. dianapolis. the tail end team, are but IF points, while no two clubs in the League are separated by more than 3T points.
