Montgomery to the belief that such an agreement as the one proposed above will be reached. In so far as can be ascertained, al least five of the com mitteemen are openly in favor of the clause which seeks to deny to back tax commissioners fees on tax raises likewise are in favor of the insurance feature. though it is generally con ceded that particular clause can be sur rendered to greater advantage than can the tax matter.
 Whether or not the one concession, if it is made. will pacify the house, is at the present time much doubted, especially in view of the great oppo- sition which was offered to the Peg ram bill, which is almost identical with the tax feature of the revenue bill, when that measure was considered Tn the lower legislative branch yesterday, and defeated. Should the friends. of J. Lee Long and the state tax com mission, who are advocating the tax feature. be able to make material in- tween now and Wednesday undoubtedly the concession will satisfy. Should the advocates of the Pegram measure, how ever. lose some of their strength, the only alternative, as seen at the pres- ent time would be an extra session of the solons.
 The conference committee will on Monday hold another conference fin hopes of reaching an agreement on the bill.

THINK INSURANCE CLAUSE
 WILL BE TAKEN FROM BILL
By BERRYMAN G. BETTY

Montgomery, March 25.-(Speciai) )-Un- less all plans should go astray, the con- ference committee which was appointed to investigate the state revenue bill with al eye trimmed on so amending the measure as to have it meet with the ap- proval of the lower house, will on Wednesday report in favor of striking from the bill the insurance clause. Gen eral belief is that the committee will urge retention of the back tax commits sion feature, figuring on the basis that recession from the one amendment ought to bring about the adoption of the other.
 The committee which was appointed last night to effect such an agreement on the measure as would have the ten- dency of making the house approve the bill was in lengthy session today, ad- journing late tonight, without having reached any agreement insofar as an- nouncement of the committee is con- cerned. The committee is composed of Senators Plcwman, Spragins and Tuns- tall and Representatives Percy Brindley and Rice, all of whom attended today's conference.
 While the committeeman were in sistent that no steps were taken which can at the present time be given to the public the known attitude of the six legislators on the two features in the bill to which the house is op posed, inclines the politicians now in

M|TCHAM RETURNS FROM PANAMA
Declares Canal Work Is Be- ing Conducted in Most
 Efficient Manner

Auburn, March 25.-(Special )-G. N. Mitcham, professor of civil engineering at the Alabama Polytechnic institute, re- turned to Auburn today from Panama, where he had gone in company with more than 100 members Of the American So- ciety of Civil Engineers, upon their visit to the scene of the great canal construc- tion.
 That the Panama canal Is the greatest engineering feat ever attempted and that the work is being conducted in the most efficient way possible, Professor Mitcham Is certain.
 The organization is superb" he said today. 'grhe task of constructing the canal is being accomplished in busi- lection of system could not be surpassed by any private contracting firm.
 As an engineer, Professor Mitcham is prone to believe that there is no danger of obstruction of the canal in the Culebra cut by slides of the earth on the walls of the great ditch.
 Professor Mitcham was one of the few southern engineers who accompanied the party, besides the professor of civil en- gineering of the University of Georgia, he was the only southern college man OH the trip. Other college men were present, representing Purdue, Lehigh, the Colorado School of Mines, Wisconsin, and other in- stitutions of the west.
 The trip was taken by the society upon the invitation of President Taft and the Secretary of War. The members of the society were the guests of the canal con- mission and were taken over every foot Of the district in which operations are being conducted. Professor Mitcham tells of a professional rivalry which has arisen between the men in charge of the Atlan- tic section of the canal construction, who are army officers, and the men who are in charge of the Pacific section, who ara civilian engineers. The rivalry, he says. has resulted in remarkable engineering feats, each section endeavoring to better the record of the other.
 Professor Mitcham has been invited to deliver an address at the National Good Roads congress, which will be held in Birmingham May 23 to May 2e, and he has accepted.

SA[TER NEGROES
 GET TWENTY YEARS
MEN RESCUED FROM MOB BY LUVERNE MILITARY CON- PANY LAST CHRISTMAS ARE CONVICTED

Luverne, March 25.-(Special. )-Tht spring term of the circuit court of Cren shaw county adjourned here yesterday after having had one of the busiest ses sions in the history of the county. A large number of civil cases were disposed of during the first week of court. The grand jury returned 40 true bills, among which were indictments against each o1 tho Salter negroes, Titus Folmar and Harrison Tucker, for assault with intent to murder.
 These indictments grew out of the wholesale shooting on the part of these negroes at the Shirley and Pate families and which nearly caused race riot near Luverne just before last Christmas Great excitement prevailed at that time and more than 12 armed men were scour- ing the country for these negroes, but a wholesale lynching was prevented by the prompt action of the Luverne military company, who succeeded in getting the prisoners safe to jail. All of the negroes were tried during this week and each one given the full limit of the law, 20 years in the penitentiary. Harrison Tucker. who seemed to be the ring leader, was given 25 years in the pen "
 Price McPherson was sent to the peni- tentiary for life for the murder of Wal ton Miller. In all. there were 31 cases tried and of this number the juries re- turned verdicts of guilty in 30 cases. Only one verdict of not guilty and that was rendered in the case of the state ys. Avery Hardage. a young white man, charged with grand larceny. The Jury In this case was unable to agree for about two days. but finally rendered a verdict turning Hardage loose Three in- dictments each were returned against pr. Bela G. Hilliard and Dr. Thomas James for ,practicing medicine unlawfully Both of these young men e1tered a plea of guilty to the charge.

B. This Is a good days business and am delighted with this big bustlinG business city. I have been coming to this city frequently for a number of years and I am most fa- vorably impressed with the extraordi- nary growth of this city and district. You have very high class and pro- gressive citizenship. The best in ev- cry line is what Birmingham people demand and that's a good sign of pros perity. This Is particularly evident in the sale of B. B. B.-customers are demanding 1t and dealers find 1t dix fcult to persuade customers to accept inferior substitutes. This day of ad- vertising has made the way of tin- scrupuious dealers hard--the general public Is coming to know the nedi- cines, the goods in general. that are meritorious. and they are getting iwhat they want. zee
