CIVIC LEAGUE IS AFTER THE SMOKE Ladies Hope to Remedy This and Other
 Evils

The Women's Civic league of Bir- rningham were gathered at an enthusi- astic meeting yesterday afternoon at o'clock at the parish house of the ChBreh of the Advent Mrs. c. P Orr, L-pYesident of the league, presided at 'the meeting in her customary effective manner.
 For the most part the ladies were busied with the question of the awful smoke in Birmingham. Their delib- erations resulted in a splendid plan, which, if carried out, will remove the dusky hue from skies over the Magic City and leave a blue for the poets to ssing about. The matter was referred to the committee on education, who were instructed to communicate with other cities in search of remedial plan that has been tried and tested.
 Another matter of importance to the general comfort and welfare of the city was that of the disposal of garbage, swhich was referred to the committee on health and, sanitation. This nuisance has become intolerable in certain parts of the city and it is the intention of the Women's Civic league to bring
 
 only on "reae premises" but in the downtown district, whatever changes for cleanliness are desirable.
 The committee parks and high ways were not assigned to their def finite work at the meeting yesterday afternoon. However, it is more than likely that they will appear before the three commissioners and ask that suggestions be given with reference to certain phases of the street and park Improvement, and also to the dstricting of the city The members of this com mittee will hold consultation with George B. Ward, chairman of the Cham fber of Commerce committee on, civic improvement, before undertaking plan for their activities.
 A committee representing the civic league will go before the Birmingham commissioners and ask that the traffic squad, who have been removed from certain crossings in the business sec tion of the city, be reinstated, if only for the busy hours of the day. The .e ladies hold that pedestrians and others are unsafe without their services.
 At the meeting yesterday afternoon it was thought necessary to appoint a committee on publicat tion, and the fol- lowing were named on this new organ of the Civic league: Mrs George C. Ball chairman; Mrs. Francis Nimmo Greene and Miss Myrtle Miles
 Another meeting of the civic league will be held next week for the. furthe, consideration of the work and plan, of the new organization. The time o1 the meeting will be announced later.

 A short while ago there was an article in The Age-Herald from the president of Columbia college on the difficult spelling of words in our language. It containedaa long linst of words difficult to spell and was intended as pleasant game for the long winter evenings. Cannot your nu- merous readers get some more from the same pen on the many other difficulties of our language?

Nara responded to the calls of the multitude, stepped to the balcony of the ministry facing Avenida Juarez and bowed acknowledgement to the greet ings. Speeches were then made to the new president by two young men in the crowd below and to each of these MT. De La Barra responded. His words urged peace and order, appealed to the patriotism of the people and were loud ly cheered The crowd then parted into small bands and several hundred men and boys which proceeded in orderly fashion into the various streets branch ing from the Paseo De La Reforma. MT. De La Barra was greatly pleased that his ascendancy to the presidential chair had met the approval of the people.
 Juarez, Mexico, May 25.-'I am very glad President Diaz has resigned" said Francisco I. Madero, Jr., tonight ''Of course it was the principal demand of the revolutionists and now it has been satisfied, peace is certain"
 On the strength of the dispatches ap- nouncing President Diaz's resignation General Navarro and the federal officers, taken prisoners at the battle of Juarez, were given their liberty.
 Senor Madero, it is believed now, will receive word from Senor De La Barra as to whether he ought to hurry to the Mexican capital.
 Messages were passing today between the rebel leader and Senor De La Barra concerning the prolongation of the ses- sion of the Mexican congress. That body scheduled to adjourn the last of this month now will continue in session, it is expected for at least 15 days to act upon legislation brought on by the exigencies of the revolution.

Professor Mitcham Talks

MT Ba chelders address was followed by an address from Prof. G. N. Mitch am of the department of engineering at Auburn, who made a very interesting and instructive talk with reference mainly to the good roads situation in Alabama under the newly created high way commission, of which he Is a mem- Der. He stated that in his opinion there was one defect in the state highway laws because they excluded the citi- zens of the various counties from ex- ercising any choice in the matter of the route along which highways are to be constructed, and thus hampered the pos- abilities for best results by taking no account of local peculiarities such as might not be understood by hoard of commissioners.
 A highly entertaining and instruc- opticon was next given by Will P. Blair, secretary of the National Paving Brick Manufacturers union. The pictures H. lustrated the various methods of brick paving that has been done in various sections of the country and were ex- plained in the characteristic manner of MT. Blair.
 Following the lecture of MT. Blair the meeting was adjourned until this morn ing at 10 o'clock, when the final ses. sion of the congress, Is to be held.

ON SCAFFOLD
THREE Times
JOHN LEE, MAN WHOM ENGLAND
COULDN'T HANG, WILL MAKE
HIS HOME IN COPPER

Arrested on the charge of murder,
tried. convicted and sentenced TO death
on the scaffold three times with the
moose around his neck and saved on

lsent to prison for life and incarcerat-
fed twenty-five years-such has been
the narrowing experience of John Lee
known as "Babbacombe Lee" the man
whom England couldn't hang.
Lee, who was released from prison
only three years ago, is now in the
copper country. He is at Kearsargc
with friends, and expects to make that
place his home. on Sunday, April 20,
in the afternoon, he will lecture at the
Calumet theater, telling his life story,
which is replete with interest. His
case is known far and wide, particu-
larly among the English people, and
his recital of 1t undoubtedly will at
tract an audience that will fill the the

served.
Lee was arrested in November, 1884
for the murder of an old lady of Bab-
bacombe, a residential suburb of Tor

DOG PRISONER
LOOSE AGAIN
Several Fine CANNES Have Suffered
Pain or Death from Wholesale
Distribution of Arsenic. :
Brayshaw Latest Loser.

The dog poisoner is at his deadly
work again and in the past few days
several fine CANNES have suffered
death at his hands
One or two others have been saved
by prompt veterinary attention af-
ter several hours of agony.
Last night Mr.. and Mrs. Ira H.
Brayshaw returned to their home
on Grand avenue to find their little
full-blood Spitz in commissions and
although Dr. Horr was called immed-
lately. help came too late and the
household pet succumbed to the dead
" dose. The little animal was entire
ly harmless and it is inconceivable
That anyone should have wanted to
administer ppison to it. Yet some In
human rascal, who is always careful
to conceal his identity was able to
place the toxin within reach of the
dog with deadly results.
Claude Hedrick of the fire depart
ment had fine fox terrier almost
die night before last and only for the
quick and heroic work would have
expired. Dr. Drew's dog has also
suffered from the effects and several
other incidents are known in other
parts of the city.
1t is unfortunate that the owners
of some of the dogs who died from
the effects of this persons work
cannot lay hands on him. The re-
suit would probably make the pas
time of killing these pets permanent
ly unpopular.
