JOHNSTON GIVES
 VOTING RECORD
Resents Statements That He Has Always Voted With
 Senator Aldrich

Washington, May 22-(Special.) )-The following statement was today issued from the office of Senator Johnston of Alabama:
 Senator Johnston has been criticised in some newspapers recently for voting with Senator Aldrich on the Payne-Al- drieh tariff bill of two years ago.
 ''The facts as shown by the Record are that Senator Johnston voted only seven times with Senator Aldrich. as follows:
 First and Second-Two votes on main tainng the duty on scrap iron at the same rate as on pig iron. for which 1t Is used, a revenue duty of about 15 per cent. for.
 "Fourth-On corporation tax. both vot- ing for
 "Fifth-On imposing a duty of 10 cents per pound on tea, both voting against
 "Sixth-On reducing the duty on iron ore from 40c to 25c per ton, both voting for the reduction.
 Under the Dingley act, which was the old law, the inlportations of iron ore for the year 1909 were 7.26s tons, and the revenue derived at 4oc per ton was s142.- 907. Under the bill as amended at 25c per ton the imports were .164 tons, and the revenue was s1S3.242. So that it ap- pears that by reduction of the tariff from 4oc to 25c there was an increase in i'm ports and likewise in revenue.
 "Seventh-Against reducing the duty on lumber below sl.50 per thousand, a rev enue duty of about 10 per cent.
 The importations under the Dingley act were 759,425 feet and the revenue at & per thousand. s1,51S,S47 Under the Payne-Aldrch act the impotrations were S30.000 feet and the revenue at SIPS per | thousand, which was the tariff as finally agreed on, s1,276.396, showing a loss of revenue at the rate to which it was re- l dueed. Lumber is largely a southern product and there is no good reason why revenue duty should be taken from it while the bill provided for extravagant | duties for products of the north | Senator Johnston subsequently, offered an amendment to the bill to put on the free list eevry article used in building homes for the people. The amendment was as follows:
 | Nothing contained in this act shall prevent the admission free of duty of the ! following articles: Lumber of all kinds, | laths, shingles. doors, door locks hinges
 window frames, window sash, bricks, lime, cement, slate, roofing, nails, car 1 penters' tools, common window glass not exceeding 16x24. tin plates for roofs, lin- seed oil. and white lead. The object be- ing to make manufacturers north and south to contribute alike for this pur- l pose
 "The senator voted exactly 100 times against Senator Aldrch.
 There are few democartic senators not more than five, whose record of consist ent opposition to the high protectionists represented by Senator Aldrich. Is 50 good"

body was waiting to see It." he said. ''They didn't do what they said they were going to do-Chief Bennett and that man. what's his name e?-Culpepper Exum-so I did it for them. I was anxious to see the demonstration run, so turned in that alarm"
 And his dream came truei
 Stations Nos. 1, 2, 4 and responded to the alarm. Three engines two trucks, four hose wagons, and one chemical en- zine were on the scene in the twinkling of an eye with the laddies all wondering over the coincidence of the call with the plan for today. Lastly, Chief Bennett on his auto-projecticle came shooting into the mass of apparatus and people.
 Young Carpenter watched the scene with admiration. He was absorbed with the appearance of the fine, furnished engines, and the gorgeous red trucks and wagons gleaming in the sun and he was scarcely aware that tail, dark man in a blue uniform had hold on his collar. He wal whsked away in the chiefs au- l tomoblle and turned over to the warden at the city jail, and the crowd was dis persed by a big black cloud that came from over Red mountain.
 The employees of the boy stated that he had been acting strangely for several days, and they were informed by his mother, Mrs. P. H. Carpenter, who lives at 211s Eighth avenue. north, that he had been unwell for several weeks. He was later released from confinement.

This step was taken at the request of prohibit ton leaders in dry states who complained that they were unable to keep liquor out of their states because the federal sta tutes regulating interstate commerce for bade them doing it.

Secretary's Report

SecreJdryS RepOIC
 In making our report for the year which Is closing, we feel 1t would be profitable ito view the field as 1t is. There are many young women in Birmingham and we are widening our influence among them The girls who have the leisure and the means are finding a field for their de- velopment in the auxiliary work; some are in the gymnasium blasses. some are taking art. In studying the membership we find the following figures obtain: There are between 9Oo0 and 40O0 business women in Birmingham; number in fac tories, about 300; stores and offices, about 2C00; laundries, about 300; phone offices, e10; teachers and nurses, 4so; business col leges, 162. The average salary of the girl in the store is s per week, and of the girls in the office, $10 per week. Tn the | boarding department we recently request ed the young ladies to state the amount of their salaries on a slip with no name attached and found the following result (from those responding): There is one at soo per month, one at s21 20, three at SPA five at s25, two at s2s, three at 80, one at s32 one at sS7.50. four at $40, three at s5o two at s55, three at s60, one at $7o, one at s1o0 From this we may know just what the work is doing, and on the other hand consider the question as to whether or not the girls are receiving an adequate salary.
 Religious Work Department
 In this department we have, as during last year, the following work: l. A daily vesper meeting. ?. A Friday even ing minister's meeting. 3. A teachers training course. f. Mission study class. We have added during the year (5). A mission prayer circle, composed of all the girls and these contribute to the for eign work of the association. 6. A flower mission work, by which the girls hope to bring cheer to sick stranger girls, or the sick in the Hillman hospital. Mrs. T. O.. Smith sends the flowers for this. :. Ex- tension work, which has meant prayer meetings in schools and institutions, in d factory, store, and personal work in one telephone exchange. 8. A second mission study class, which has undertaken the care of a girl in the Kentucky mountains who otherwise would have no education. One member subscribed S25 Toward this. g.
