EmInent Citizen Lies Dead

The death of Rufus Napoleon Rhodes. although coming at the end of long illness, will bring to the people of this district a feeling of deep and sud- den grief The dead journalist was a man of genial personality and he had frieds wherever he was known.
 Although he was born in Mississippi and later became well-known legisla- tor in Tennessee, yet nearly all his active life was spent in this city. In the course of nearly 25 years he left a strong impress on this district. His chief work was done in the founding and building up of The News, and it remains today a memoral of his life work.
 His untimely death while yet in mid dle life will be mourned widely, for his reputation extended far beyond the bounds of a single state. His engaging address, his gifts of speech as well as of the pen, and his steadfast optimism, all combined to make him an inf1u- ential citizen and public leader. His work is done, his battles fought, and he has crossed the mysterious river, leaving behind him many sincere mourning friends and comrades. These will gather at the bier that holds all that is mortal of him, and there they will part with one whose influence had long been felt in this state and particularly in this district.

TO FIX RATES
 FOR HACK FARE

The encouragement of the schedule of prices to be charged by hackmen In the city of Birmingham and the arrange ment of a schedule for taxicabs is cer- tain to occur at the next meeting of the council.
 Heretofore hackmen could not charge more than 50 cents per passenger for one trip within the limits of Birmingham. This scale will be increased now, it Is thought probable, since Birmingham, at the present time contains an area of Bik square miles.
 The council has never considered as yet the prices charged by the taxicab company although this matter was brought up at the. last council meeting by Alderman Walter Moore
 'I do not think 1t should cost mar more to ride in taxicab than in g street hack" stated Alderman Morgan yesterday, and 1t is considered probable that the scale for the two enterprise will be identical. Recently the taxicat company has raised its price to T cents

Aviation at Los Angeles

Tests of aeroplanes in 1910 have al- ready been begun-this time at Los Angeles, where no snow or ice or icy winds are encountered. No doubt the flights at Los Angeles will prove as successful as were those last year at Rhems, Brescia and in isolated places in France. The Wrights are not com petitors at Los Angeles, but their Dl- planes will no doubt be seen there. Thus far Glenn H. Curtiss, the Amer lean aviator, and Louis Paulhan, the daring French navigator of the air, have done the chief feats at Los An geles. and several new records have been established by them.
 Thus far no Wright biplanes have been used at Los Angeles, and it Is perhaps regrettable that the Wrights are not more given to the spectacular and less to the practical. Entrenched behind their patent rights they do not seem to be willing to do much to ad- vance aviation In a general sense, or to hold up the position of this country in airship endeavors. This country early recognized aeroplanes, and if all our air navigators would pull together we could perhaps keep France from gaining first place in aviation. The French navigators are alert and active, and the Wrights and all the other aero planists of America will have their hands full if they keep up with them. The navigation of the air Is easily a prize that France and America are contending for, and the other nations are simply among those who also flew

Dr, Knapp'S Lecture Tour

Dr. Seaman A Knapp, who has charge of the farm demonstration work in the south and who is a trusted member of the department of agricul- ture, is touring the south, where he will deliver addresses in 10 states. !n this state he will speak at Anniston.
 He will discuss southern farm prob lems, and no one has given those prob- lems more study and more thought than he has. At Charlotte he told the farmers of North Carolina some plain truths. "Practically," he said, you are using about one-sixth of your state and you are getting about ons.thsrd of the crop out of the one-sixth, or only one-eighteenth of the crop you ought to get. and you are trying to get rich by using one-eightesnth of your re- seurcss."

Miss Martha Berry'S School

Today Miss Berry's school for the training of mountain boys located near Rome, Ga, will celebrate it's eighth anniversary, and the celebration will be all the happier because the endow- ment fund of $100,000 has been se- cured.
 Starting anew with a considerable endowment Miss Berry will no doubt proceed to build up an institution that will give the boys from the farms the start in life they greatly need. She may not teach them anything about the fourth dimension or the Greek clas- sics but she will teach them to become men and she will send them out well equipped with the fundamentals of an education. She will put them in a way to gather whatever else they may need from books while at the same time they conquer from the world a living. Miss Berry aims to maintain school that the mountain boys can afford to attend, and to give to them the inspiration and the help they need. She does not aim too high, nor yet too low, and all who have studied her plans and methods say that her school is model in its place and for the work it finds to do.
 It Is the first real uplift that has come to the mountain boys of the Blue Ridge-the white boys who have more ideas and aspirations in their heads than they have dollars in their pockets Long live the Berry school, and may it's success be so great that it will be duplicated in scores of other places in the south.

Inauguratlon Day

Nearly everybody thinks the Pres ident of the United States should be inaugurated later in the season than the 4th of March, for Washington Is located on the foothills of the Blue Ridge, and the fourth day of March on those foothills may be inelement and cold and even tempestuous. Washing ton was almost shut off from all com- munication with the outside world when Mir. Taft was inaugurated last year. and rarely, indeed, is the weather fine at that time of the year at the federal capital.
 It is now proposed to change the in- auguration date to the fourth Thurs day of April. This, however, involves constitutional amendment, and for that purpose an amendment will no doubt be submitted, as follows: That the sixty-second Congress and | the term or oulce VI tite 4 iOeiociiS a&ie Vice President shall continue until the last Thursday of April in the year 1913, l at noon, and the last Thursday of April. I at noon. shall thereafter be the day for l the commencement and termination of l Congress and of the terms of the Pres l ident, Vice President, senators, repre- ! sentatives and delegates in Congress, in- stead of the 4th day of March.
 Whether three-fourths of the states, or 35 in all, can be induced to ratify this amendment before March 4, 1913, is perhaps doubtful In January next nearly all the legislatures will be in 1 session. but in each one of them some form of crankiness is pretty sure to crop out.
 The income tax proposition is still hanging fire, and no one expects de- cisive result upon it in the near future. But capitalstic influences are assailing it. while no one really desires to see another inauguration held in pneu- monia-breeding weather. Inaugurations have become great outdoor celebra- tions and a postponement of them to the closing days of April would largely increase their popularity.

BURGLAR CAUGHT
 IN NEAT MANNER

An illustration of 'how to catch a burglar in the act" was given by Chief Bodekers henchmen last night in the most approved up-to-date method.
 Jim Robinson, a ''Nuth Ker1ina nigger." as he described himself, was the burglar He carried everything necessary for a proper carrying on of his chosen trade in the way of tools to effect an entrance and also instruments of defense. Going to the store of T. B. Morton at Eleventh avenue and Twenty-frst street. north. he prized off enough iron bars from one window to gain an entrance into the store and then proceeded to burglarize It.
 A man passing by noticed the negro in the store. AS the hour was midnight he decided that it was a burglar. Co., ing to telephone he notified police head quarters. After doing this he ran over to the home of Policeman W. P. Hen derson near by and woke him up Rush ing to the store Officer Henderson start ed in after the negro, who made a break for liberty. A shot from Henderson's gun frightened him into stopping, however. Call Officer Eddie Ball also appeared on the scene just at this moment and the negro decided that two bluecoats were too many. A couple of minutes after ward Sergeant Justin rushed up on his wheel, while two Northsids scouts, Off cers Sam Williams and Claud Drake. also dashed up It would have been almost impossible for the negro to have gotten away.
 The neatnsss and dispatch with which this was handled shows the improvement which Chief Bodeker has made of the small force of men he has at hand The report of the burglar being in the store was received by Desk Sergeant Jimmie Donelson. Tn a few seconds he had communicated it to Call Officer Ed- die Ball who was speeding away to the scene in less than half minute Ser geant Justin appeared in headquarters a few seconds later and immediately started for the scene. Sergeant Doneison got into communication with Williams and Drake by phone and they were on the way from a point on the Northside A minute or two afterward.

TWO MEN HURT IN
 BUGGY ACCIDENT

J. A. Ferguson and A. M Gleason were seriously injured yesterday afternoon when they were thrown from the buggy in which they were driving. The acci- dent occurred near Rosedale and the wheel was smashed wren 1t struck a rock.
 MT. Ferguson had driven out short distance beyond Rosedale with MT. Glea- son for the purpose of showing him some property and they were returning to the city when the accident occurred. It was caused by the horse shying and swerv- ing the buggy up against large rock at the side of the road. The wheel was probably weak. as it shattered complete ly as soon as 1t struck the stone.
 The horse was travelling at a rapid pace and the impact of the collision threw both men out of the buggy, Mir Ferguson landing heavily on his right side and receiving severe bruises. while MT. Glea- son had the left side of his face, hands and knees badly scratched. They were both able to get up, however. and after securing another buggy from nearby house, drove into town and had their in- juries dressed by pr. MoClesky. W Mir. Gleason is a farmer and lives near Mobile Although he did not appear to be hurt much at first, late last night he complained of severe pains in the back of his head and left side and also dizziness and 1t is feared that he may have received internal injuries. MT. Fer guson's bruises 1t is not thought will prove serious. He travels for a Bowling Green. ky, concern, but has spent much of his time in Birmingham
