WEST END ACT
 WILL NOT HOLD
Judge Lane Finds Another Law of Last Legislature Unconstitutional
 Because of Errors.

In the case of the city of West End vs. J. G. Simons, Circuit Judge A. o. Lane rendered a decision yesterday which, in effe<, knocks out the Greater West End act passed by the legislature in Septem- Der, 1908. The decision will deprive West End of a considerable portion of its ter ritory and several hundred of its popu- lation
 The Greater West End bill, like num- erous others, enacted by the last two legislatures, was declared invalid on &C., count of clerical errors. The case was instituted several months ago to test the constitutiopality of the act after the property owners in the newly acquired territory had refused to pay their taxes to the city of West End
 The act was declared void on the ground that the bill was signed by the Governor was not one passed by the two houses of the legislature. It seems that when the bill was passed by the house it contained seven sections, but that when 1t reached the engrosing clerk only four of the sections were copied, the last three sections, which provided for the submis- sion of the annexation to the people eff fected, being left off.

The Story of Esaw Wood.

From the Womans Home Companion.
 Esaw Wood sawed wood
 Esaw Wood would saw wood!
 All the wood Esaw Wood saw Esaw Wood would saw. In other words, all the wood Esaw saw to saw Esaw sought to saw.
 Oh the wood Wood would saw! And oh, the wood-saW with which Wood would saw wood.
 But one day Woods wood-saw would saw no wood, and thus the wood Wood sawed was not the wood Wood would saw If Woods wood-saw would saw wood.
 Now, Wood would saw wood with a wood-saw that would saw wood. so EsaW sought a saw that would saw wood
 One day Esaw saw a saw saw wood as no other wood-saw Wood saw would saw would.
 In fact, all the wood-saws Wood ever saw saw wood Wood never saw wood saw that would saw wood as the wood- saw Wood saw saw wood would saw wood, and I never saw a{@oo would saw as the wood-saw Wood saw would saw until I saw Esaw Wood saw wood with the wood-saw Wood saw saw wood.
 Now Wood saws wood with the Wood- saw Wood saw saw wood.
 Oh. the wood the wood-saw Wood saw would saw!
 Oh, the wood Woods woodshed would shed when Wood would saw wood With the wood-saw Wood saw saw woodl
 Finally, no man may ever know how much wood the wood-saw Wood saw would saw, if the wood-saw Wood saw would saw all the wood the wood-saw Wood saw would saw.

erubb Heartily oonaratuIated.

The appointment of w I. Grubb to the federal bench was received in Birmingham with rejoicing in many quarters. Mr. Grubb was overwhelmed with congratula- tions. He received telegrams from varl- ous parts of the state, among them be- ing one from Judge Thomas G. Jones of Montgomery, expressing congratulations and the assurance that the two could work in perfect harmony.
 Mir. Grubb had little to say other than that he considered the honor high one, and is delighted with the expressions of his friends.
 Internal Revenue Collector J. O. Thomp- son returned from Washington on last nights train and when seen at the depot had this to say: "The announcement Of the appointment of w. I. Grubb for the federal judgeship will be received gen. orally as a happy solution of the situa- tion in the northern district
 ''The President has used unusual eff fort through various channels in obtain ing information about the candidates and in that way his attention was attracted to Billy Grubb, as he affectionately called him.
 'rhe President has known MT. Grubb practically all his life and as he expresses it, he has made good in every place of trust. Although I as strongly opposed MT. GruDp as l knew how faYoring the reap pointment of Judge Hundley until the last, l recognize in the appointment one that will reflect credit on the republican party and upon the administration.
 The failure of Judge Hundley of re- appointment Is no reflection upon him nor Is 1t intended as such, for in the near future the President will tender him one of the most important and responsible diplo- matic posts within his gift. He has grown very fond of Judge Hundley, and it Is recognized that he has made most en- viable record upon the bench, and the pointed him had he not found the one man who is personally known to him and against who no opposition was offered by the bar of the Northern district" Mr. Thompson stated that action on the other Alabama vacancies will be delayed some time.
 Judge Hundley did not care to discuss the appointment but hie friends state that he has no ambition for other than legal preferment He will continue to hold court until the adjournment of the special session.
 Lawyers are at difference as to the date of the change. Some claim that it will take place upon Judge Grubb's con- firmation, while others think it will wait on the adjournment.
 Judge Grubb is a native of Cincinnati, where he was born in 1862. He graduated from ale in 1883 and finished at the Gin cinnau law school two years later He took up the practice of law in Birming- ham in 1888 with Walker Percy, and after ward went into the firm of Tillman Grubb, Bradley & Morrow.

 "Oh, mum"

TENANTS LOSS IN BURGLARY.
French Court Decides Owner of Prop
 erty Is Liable.

From le Journal.
 To Comtesse de La Poeze has just been granted 20OO francs damages against the proprietor of her apartment as compen- sation for burglary committed in her apartment during her absence after she had confided the key to the conclerges with instructions that they should watch over the safety of her belongings.
 On July 90, 1905, apartment rented by Comtesse de La Poeze, 36 rue de Lille, was broken into during her absence and some valuable jewels were stolen. The burglars were soon afterward arrested, and 1t was found that one of them was the son of the concierges, into whose care the apartment had been given. When the burglary was committed the concierges were absent on a holiday and the key to the apartment had been intrusted to their son.
 The courts judgment declared that the proprietor of the house is responsible for the acts of his concierge, and that the Comtesse de La Poeze was acting In ac- oordance with Parisian custom in putting her confidence in the concierges, who had been placed in a position of responsibility by the owner of the house.
 Consequently the court admitted the comtesse's claim fin principle, but reduced 1t from 6000 francs to 2ooo francs.

Trees.

From Lippincotts Magazine.
 Trees grow on mountain sides, in re- mote country districts, and in some resi- dential quarters. They furnish shade, presidential timber. and, when sliced thin, delicious breakfast foods.
 Trees are useful for cutting down, and furnish occupation for the otherwise un- employed. In the form of railroad ties, they furnish 8 basis of bond issues and for stock market panics.
 Trees may be oak, beech, chestnut, or elm, but they are always popular. They make excellent fire, especially when made into some novels.
 Trees are brown and green but when made into paper are generally yellow. This is when they bark loudest.
 Trees were at one time used for hang ing purposes. Now we use Investigating committees, thus showing the advance of civilization.
 Among Rock-a-bye babies the tree-top is favorite. Latch on the Christmas tree is in vogue. At the club the only tree used is the hat tree.
 Americans consider themselves superior to all trees. That is why they cut them so

 Further insurgency was shown in the Senate this afternoon when in the de- bate on the lead schedule Senator Bur kett of Nebraska delivered a sharp lec- ture to the members of the finance com mittee for bringing in bill about which they were not adequately informed.
 He objected to the fact that the com mittee had not hearings and set the evi- dence before the committee. Senator Bur kett, as other western senators have done, expressed a determination to get at the bottom of the schedules.
 This led to a sharp reply from Sem ator Aldrich.
 "If the Senate stays here until every member has chance to satisfy himself on every schedule of this bill," he de- clared, "even with the infallible judg- ment of the senator from Nebraska, we will stay here, not only all summer, but we will be here 10 years'

Is there any class of people in the United States except a limited number, who are consumers and who are not also producers?
 "The consumers of Nebraska have de- rived their prosperity from the fact that they have had the entire United States as market for their products. The in- crease in the cost of living Is owing al- most wholly to the increase in the cost of agricultural products. These peo- pie are not here asking for lower duties" ]"

 Senators are talking about July as the approximate date for winding up the consideration of the tariff bill.

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION
KILLS TWELVE MINERS
Some Escape by Climbing the Life
Ladder Out of Pennsylvania
Gallery.

Johnstown, Pa. Oct. 31.-Twelve men
were killed in the Cambria Steel COM
pany's coal mine, two miles from here,
tonight as a result of what is supposed
to have been a dynamite explosion. All
the dead were foreigners.
Three men escaped by a perilous
climb on life ladders through poisonous
mine gas and falling slate, up the steep
walls of the main shaft. Only fifteen
workmen were in the mine.
A force of men at once began clearing
the debris and fallen slate in the lower
levels. When the final barrier was
passed the party found the twelve
bodies.
Mine officials refused to discuss the
cause of the disaster.
