 quest Last Night

Birmingham may now have artistic con certs on Sunday for which fee can be charged. Last night the City Council by unanimous consent amended section lo9O of the city code and permitted the slv- ing of these concerts on, Sunday.
 The action of the council was taken at the request of Mrs. Truman Aldrich, Jr., who is intensely interested in the cause of high class music. She petitioned the council to grant permission for paid con certs She suggested, however, that the fee charged should be simply to defray expenses and that there was no intention of local managers making profit from the entertainments.
 The amendment to the city code carried the qualification that all concerts must he first permitted by the Mayor before they can be held. This insures the speedy death ow any strained or obJectionaple incarceration of the action of the council last night.
 The. request of Mrs. Aldrich was pre- sented in a report by Alderman John r. Williams and was adopted without ols- senting voice.
 While Mrs. Aldrich has announced her intention of presenting series of recitais hx visiting artists next season on Sunday afternoons. others interested in good mu- sic will, it is believed. avail themselves of the amended ordinance and that ulti- mately symphony concerts will be given here on Sundays.

ID FORCE A VOTE ON
 TWO SENATE BILLS

Washington, February 15-If the plans of Senators Borah and Beveridge with reference to the election of senators and the charges against Senator Lorimer are not frustrated, the Senate calendar will be relieved within the next week or two of the measures which have occupied much of the working time of the Senate during the present session.
 MT. Borah yesterday gave notice he would ask the Senate to sit tomorrow until a vote was reached on the resolu- ton providing for the election of sena- tors by direct vote, and MT. Beveridge to- day indicated a similar purpose with ref erence to the Lorimer resolution for next Tuesday.
 Whether the senators will accomplish theii respective purposes by these tao tics is a question, but it is evident to all that if they fail and if these two measures continue to receive the atten- tion of the Senate there will be little time fer the consideration of appropriation bills, Canadian reciprocity and the tariff heard bill.
 Both the Lorimer question and the election amendment have been discussed at great length and their supporters de- clare that there can be no purpose in de laying a vote other than to defeat them through default.

SENATOR WATSON FAVORS
 REMOVAL OF DUTY ON COAL

made as cheap as possible for the con- sumer, said Senator Watson. About the effect of the free listing of these necessi- ties upon the producer opinions vary. It probably would take business some time to adjust itself to new conditions.
 "I do know something about the coal business and so far from feeling that those engaged in that business would be crippled by the removal of all duty upon coal, I am convinced it would not ma- terally hurt them while it will unques-. tionably benefit the consumer. I am for free coal and will vote for a bill that takes the tariff altogether off of the prod uct This coal schedule Is the one spe- cifc schedule about which believe I am informed
 Senator LaFollettc, chairman of the Senate census committee. said today that he expected to call q meeting of his com mittee the latter part of the week to con- sider the House 4S3 reapportionment bill. The Senate is expected to adopt the House bill before adjournment.
 The amendment placed in the rivers and harbors bill by Senator Bankhead, authorizing Watt Brown to construct dam in the Coosa river for generating electrical power, is one of the principal points of dispute among the conferees of the bill. e
 The project per SC Is not objected to by the members, but doubt is expressed as to the policy of placing a proposition of this nature in a general rivers and harbors bill. The amendment will probably be al- lowed to remain in the bill.

DOG HAD RABIES
 ALMOST A YEAR

Montgomery. February 15.-(Special. ) The state Pasteur, department has ex- amined the brain of a dog that was not attacked with rabies until nine months after 1t was bitten. The dog was sent to the department by J. w. Spearman of Wilsonville. Shelby coun- ty. In his letter MT. Spearman said that the dog had been bitten nine months ago and that week or two later the animal became sick.
 The dog was shut up and after a few days apparently got well. On be- ing released the dog showed all of its former dociIity and friendliness. and the owner of the animal thought the dog had gotten over its infection.
 One week ago. however, the dog be- came vicious and bit Fred Morrow, a young man of Wilsonville. The animal was killed and buried. Thinking tha possibly the dog might have been mad the animal was exhumed and its head sent to the Pasteur department. The test at once showed signs of rabies and young Morrow began treatment.
