| DEFEAT IF TAWNEY IN FREE LUMBER PLAN CAUSES SURPRISE Democrats and Republicans Alike Are Widely Split
 lD Final Vote FREE LUMBER MAY YET
 BE VOTED IN HOUSE Payne Tariff Bill Will Be Reported From Committee of the Whole
 and Another Vote May
 Change the Result.
BY WATTERsoN sTEALY.

Washington, April 6.-(Special.) )-Party lines hung loose in the House today Thirty-four democrats joined with the re- publicans, a still larger number of re- publicans joined with a majority of the democrats, and the Tawney amendment, which places all rough lumber on the free list and reduces the grades of the finished product to s1 and sl.50, was lost by vote of l76 to ITO. Had three democrats voted with majority of their party the vote would have been tied and four would have given a majority for free rough lumber
 The vote was a big surprise, not only to the democratic leader, MT. Clark but to MT. Tawney, the republican leader for free lumber. Champ Clark had supposed that he would lose all of the North Caro- lima delegation except Representative Kitchen, majority of the South Caro- lima delegation and some from Louisiana. When the vote was taken, however. only three democratic state delegations voted solidly for free lumber. To their credit they were the Kentucky. Indiana and Ohio members. In every other state there was u sDllt III lenHcSsee representative Gordon voted against the Tawney amend ment; in Alabama Representatives Fay Tor, Clayton and Burnett voted against it. Mississippi furnished two democrats against the Tawney proposition. Virginia three, Florida two. and Louisiana, of course, delivered her votes usual
 Excuse of Democrats.
 Some of the democrats who voted against the Tawney amendment excuse their course by saying that thes had pre- viously voted for the De Armond amend ment. which puts lumber of all kinds on the free list, but they would not vote for the Tawney split propostion. because 1t gave other sections of the\ nintry an unfair advantage in the finishedS rroduct through transportation. A big majofSty of the democrats, however, took the view that as the Tawney amendment provided for the free admlttance of rough lumber a half loaf was better than none and they. therefore. supported 1t.
 Among those who voted against Mir. Tawneys amendment were several dem ocrats who had made excellent democratic tariff speeches and their attitude today

Hundley Has Not Gipen
 Up Hope Of Wdgeship

Washington, April 6.-(Special)- Still expressing every satisfaction with the status of his case Judge oscar R. Hundley of the Northern Alabama district, left for Birmingham tonight accompanied by J. O. Thompson and o. D. Street. Thompson and Street continue to maintain that they are for Judge Hundley and have not given up hope of his appointment. II Is ex- pected. however that Mir Street will commence an active campaign for the judgeship as soon as he puts foot on Alabama soil as no one has been able to get anything from a responsible quarter here to indicate that Judge Hundley can be re-appointed. That vir- tually puts the republican organization behind MT. Streets receptive candidacy and Alabama politicians dope it out that the fight for the judgeship Hes between him and William H. Smith

PROHIBITION LAW
 HELD VAL ID BY
 SUPREME COURT Opinion Written by MT. Justice Anderson and Fully Concur
 red in by Court FOR THE SECOND TIME
 LAW IS PASSED UPON The Only Doubt Was On Section ii of the Bill, Which Provides for Re- peal of Local Laws-court
 Finally Agrees.

Montgomery, April 6.-(Special.)- a second time since the passage of the gen eral prohibition bill In November. 1907 the suprece court has held it to be valid and in entire conformity with the consti- tuition of the state. The opinion was writ ten by MT Justice Anderson and con cured in by the entire court Several months ago, in an opinion written by MT. Justice Mcclellan. the same act was held to be valid, hence the court is doubly committed to the validity of the meas ure.
 The only doubt was on section il of the bill, which provides for the repeal of local laws in conflict and the strengthening ol local laws in other cases. There was some little doubt in this way among some of the judges but in the main and on essen tial issues there was no difference in opinion. Mir. Justice A. D. Sayre who held the law to be good while on the bench of the Montgomery city court, agreed with Justice Anderson in every particular.
 The case deciced was that Arthur Coll man vs the probate judge of Dallas coun- ", Wnereln He Hdue ueDld1u TOT llCeHSe but was refused, and on failure of man damus proceedings in the city court to force issue of license appealed to the su- preme court. Cases of like kind brought in Mobile and Montgomery were agreed upon to go off on the ruling in this con- tention. As a result the bill may be said to be firmly established as a part of the general laws of the state.
 Section ii.
 Section Il, about which some of the jus tices had doubts, is given below, that it may be read in connection with the ex- cerpt from the opinion of the court given later:
 Sec il. That all laws and parts of laws in conflict with this act be and the same are hereby repealed. Provided, however, that nothing in this act shall operate to repeal any of the local or special acts of the general assembly or legislature of Ala bama prohibiting the sale or other dispo- sition of any of the liquors mentioned In the first section of this act, but all such acts shall continue in full force and effect and in concurrence herewith and indict- ments or prosecutions may be had either under this act or any special or local act relating to the same subject. but no one

FIVE KILLED IN
 ABERDEEN STORM

Jackson. Miss. April 6.-North east ern Mississippi was swept by wind storm of great velocity tonight, at times assuming the proportions of a tornado, causing the known death of five persons at Aberdeen and the in- jury of probably a score of others while meagre reports from outlying districts tell of a considerable property damage and possibly loss of life. At Aberdeen the depot of the Illinois Gen. tra1 railroad was demolished and five persons killef and 15 others injured.
 At West Point several negroes were injured and a number of small build ings damaged. An appeal for assist ance from the Terrell plantations near West Point stated that great damage resulted in that vicinity, several per sons were killed and others injured Physicians were dispatched from West Point.
 Clarksdale and Rich were other towns in the path of the storm reporting property damage.
 Because of an interruption of wire communication with the storm swept territory, confirmation of many reports of damage and loss of life cannot be secured tonight.

Probably the one word used more than
any other by the average architect is
plain don't The following "don'ts' are
In answer to a few of the numerous ques-
lions asked me since this series OF articles
began in The Bee and may be of help
to the reader. Don't build a good house
on a cheap lot. Cheap lots invite "shacks,"
livery stables and the like. These never
make good neighbors. Remember your
children become to a large extent what
environment makes them. A cheap lot in
a neighborhood of cheap lots is apt to
mean an inferior class OF ~neighbors who
will depreciate the value OF your house
because of this proximity to It and will
add nothing to the Joy of living through
their social intercourse. Buy a good lot
In a promising neighborhood and then
wait a year If necessary before yOu build
on 1t.
Don't buy a lot of less than fifty-foot
frontage. Always purchase a lot that will
permit you nave the house you want on
II. A narrow lot rleans an absence of bay
windows on the sides and other features
which may be desired. to say nothing OF
narrow rooms. 1t also means a too close
proximity to your neighbors, which cuts
off tho simmer breezes, outlooks, makes
your family affairs public property and
increases the fire risk.
Don't build a tower on anything but a
house in the English style. Towers and
colonial architecture do not mix we'll. The
tower is a practical thing of the past. The
object OF the tower is TO obtain an out
look from tbs top OF 1t, but when your
neighbours trees cut off all the outlook, 1t
becomes an anomaly. Towers are expen-
sive to build. hard to heat and never look
we'll except in the tudor gothic style. This
does not exclude the use of angle or com
pass bays.
Don't build too much porch around a
house. In giving this advice the writer has
a mental conflict between experience and
personal desire. For four months Of the
year there is nothing which adds to ones
pleasure like a cargo porch %(screened in
where locality requires) comfortably fur
nished as an outdoor living room, but
porches of this size darken the rooms
within which we must provide for our
comfort for the other eight months. There
fore 1t Is not advisable to build a wide
porch never build them narrow around
both exposed sides OF a living room. Al
ways leave one side open to the sun. For
a SUNNI r cottage, the more porch the
better. Build it all around your summer
