impracticable."
Mr.. Root suggested an amendment
making the filing of agreements con
dition of their legality.
Most of the agreements would relate to
the general principles controlling in the
making of rates, it was stated,
From these might flow hundreds of
thousands of rates and these are the
agreements that we want to get control
off, he said.
The speaker concluded with the asser-
ton that the Crawford provision was
practicable and could be enacted into
law
In a few words Mr.. .Clapp attacked
the position of Senator Root. He said
It was inconsistent in that in one breath
he had argued that the Cummins amend

BLACKFRIARS WILL
APPEAR TONIGHT

The Blackfriars. the dramatic organi-
cation of the University of Alabama,
which has earned quite a reputation dur
ton of Shakespeares plays will appear
at the Jefferson theatre tonight in
Twelfth Night.
The performance of the Blackfriars will,
no doubt. attract wide attention locally,
as has been the case on previous occa-
sions when the organization appeared
here. 1t will be a social occasion as well
as theatrical event. and no doubt the anna
teur performers will be greeted by large
audience. Past performances of the
Blackfriars have proven to be successes
to the highest degree from a dramatic as
well as financial standpoint. Under the
able direction of Prof Frederick D. Lo-
sey 1t is stated that Twelfth Night
has been produced by the students to a
greater degree of perfection than have
any of the plays previously presented.
Professor Losey has coached the Black
friers in two other performanceAand the
plays presented in Birmingham last year
and the year before were produced in a
most creditabe manner. Professor Losey,
a student of the drama, himself, will take
one of the leading parts in Twelfth
Night"
The play has already been presented in
Tuscaloosa, Montgomery, Selma and Mo-
bile and each performance has been a
marked success. The Blackfriars come
to Birmingham for a final performance
and they should be seen at their best. A
number of Birmingham students at the
University will appear in the play.

Snow Fell in Selma

Selma, April 25.-(Special.) 1.-Two snow
storms visited here this morning, but in
both instances the snow melted as quick
ly as 1t fell TO the ground At o'clock
this morning there was a heavy fall Of
snow and at times it covered the earth,
but quickly melted away. The second fall
of the beautiful" was about o'clock
and was not near as heavy as was the
first fall. The lowest point reached by
the government thermometer during the
night was 80 degrees.
The cold snap of the past few days has
done a great deal OF damage to gardens
and the cotton crop In this section. On
the greater number of farms throughout
central Alabama the cotton crop will have
to BE- replanted. This will be quite a
hardship to a large number of the far
mers, as the most of them have no seed
left and will have to go to considerable
expense to secure them and replant their
crops

CHILD rs BURNED TO
DEATH NEAR CULLMAN

Cullman, April 25.-(Special.)-
COWS this afternoon, the baby of j..
II. Wilkinson, who resides near Bailey
town, about nine miles east of Cullman,
was burned to death before an open
CRATE.
1t seems that when Mrs. Wilkinson
started out to milk the cows she placed
the baby in a high chair before the
fire. While she was gone the front
legs of the chair caught fire and
burned in two. When the charred legy
of the chair gave away the child wasI
thrown forward and fell into the fire.
When the mother returned, it is un-
derstood, the chiId's body had been
practically burned to a crisp.

Greenville, April 25.-(Speeial.) with the
thermometer registering several degrees
below the frost line early this m
and with a record of 80 last night the
weather was not content so, for almost an
hour this morning light snow fell. This
is the first time in the history of Green
vile that snow has fallen toward the lat
ter part of April and every one was more
than surprised.
There were quite a few farmers in town
today trying to get cotton seed as the
crop already planted is almost totally
ruined. Nearly all of them had sold all
their surplus seed, and now there Is a
dearth of seed all over the county.

| If there is much more of this sort OF
weather, and the prospects seem good foi

Corn and cotton, as well as vegetables
are believed to be seriously damaged. Il
cotton that Is already up is killed the
farmers of Cullman and that section will
have difficulty in securing enough seed
for replanting.
