PREPARING ASKED
 IN LAW LAMAR CASE

Montgomery, December S.-(Special.)- The appellate court of Alabama will be asked to give a rehearing in the case of Law Lamar of Selma, in which the con- stitutionality and validity of the cotton seed meal tax of 30 cents per ton is tested. The tax is rendered against such cotton seed meal as contains 7l2 per cent of ammonium, and which meal is sold for fertilizer purposes Recently the court of appeals held that the law was valid, but Henry F. Reese of Selma, who represents the defendant, is asking for a rehearing of the case.
 Another interesting rehearing that is requested of the court of appeals comes from Baldwin county, where A. J. Mathes, white man, who faces ten years in the penitentiary for second de- gree murder. Judge w. s. Anderson of Bay Minette is seeking a rehearing, con- vinced that the killing was in self de- fense. The killing took place in May, 1910, when Irwin I. Ward lost this life in the fray.

There was certainly an excited negro Tn Birmingham yesterday. His name is Ebenezer and he works in the Simon building at Third avenue and Nineteenth street.
 Ebenezer was working on the roof of the building, sweeping off the top when it occurred to him to look down the chim- ney to see if Santa Claus had left any tracks and incidentally to see if tho old gentleman had, perchance, left q chew of tobacco hanging around.
 At first Ebenezer could see nothing, but as soon as his black eyes became accus- toned to the even blacker darkness of the chimney he perceived a blaze. ED. didn't know whether he was looking straight into the residence of one Me- phistopheles Beelzebub or whether he really saw sho nuff' fire down in the roof.
 At any rate the various and sundry kinks in Ebenezer's hair strengthened out and began to draw themselves into a mil- itary position. There they remained un- i'll some vestige of self possession be- gan to creep through his cranium. With a whoop which would have startled even q Comanche on the war path Ebenezcr made for the ladder in the scuttle hole and then to te'er'iuns He called for

the fire department and began to tell his troubles to the telephone girl but she switched him onto Main 545 and he in- coherently poured his woes into the will ing ear of "Chief' Karrh at the fire department.
 Chief" also became imbued with Eb- enezer's spirit and reached up to punch out" Now, this operation usually re- quires only one stroke of the gong, but "Chief" hit it twice, possibly thinking to produce twice as many horses as usual. However, only the usual number came un- der the harness.
 Station Mo- 1, steamer. hose wagon ana chemical, drove up to Third avenue and Nineteenth; then came No. 4, with her steamer and hose wagon No. drove up with their 65 foot truck and hose wa gon and they were followed by Assistant Chief Walton of No. and his truck and other apparatus. About the time excite ment was supreme, here came Chief Ben nett. Bells were ringing and calliope whistles blowing and crowds surging.
 Suttles of Chemical No. 1 ran up to the third story and onto the roof with a bab.. cock He ran to the chimney and gazed down for tbf ravaging flames.
 It was only fire peacefully burning fin the grate below.
 And Ebenezer swears that he 'Hain't had no Chrisums a tall"
