Chamber of Commerce Committee Discusses Matter With Taylor. Would RevolutiOnize Com
 mercial Status

Congress will be requested at the next session to make an exhaustive survey of the Birmingham district with regard to the water supply for the proposed canal connecting this city with the Gulf of Mex leo, according to the agreement reached yesterday between the canal committee from the Chamber of Commerce and G. w. Taylor, congressman from the First district, and member of the rivers and harbors committee. Congressman Taylor came to this city in response to a call for the conference from Robert Jemison, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce quet given last evening in honor of his colleague, Oscar w. Underwood.
 Congressman Taylor has been the Ala bama member on the rivers and harbors committee for the past three years, and just after his appointment was received in this city by a delegation of citizens Warrior canal, and who urged him to re- sign his position on the appropriation committee that he might turn all his endeavors toward procuring this water outlet for Birmingham. He did so and some 10 days ago received his first re- quest for a consultation regarding the

Confer With Taylor

Confer With Taylor
 The Chamber of Commerce committee named by President Richard w. Massey to submit statement of the canal situa- ton to Congress met Congressman Taylor yesterday at the Hillman hotel, and after an hours discussion of the plans at hand decided to urge Congress to send en- gfneers to this section to make a thor ough survey of the watersheds, Village creek and all water sources that might supply the canal from Toadvine' to Bir- mingham.
 MT. Taylor, who is deeply interested in the growth of Birmingham, said yester- day just after the conference on the canal matter:
 There Is no question, in my judg- ment of the feasibility of the canal in- dorsed by the Chamber of Commerce for this. wonderful city, but the doubt lies in the water supply. Congress must first have survey and estimate of the water that would naturally feed such canal or that could be defiected into the basin.
 ''rhe Birmingham division of the canal will begin at Sloss furnace go to Valley creek, thence to gulf seaports via the Black Warrior canal. The last survey of this district was made in 1904, and the federal engineering department has made evolutionary strides since that time in the construction estimates of canals. The Panama canal, the greatest piece or engineering work ever attempted in the world, has educated the government ex- perts to remarkable degree in the navi- gating of the streams and an Alabama man is at the head of this feat With the modern survey and measuring of the distance for the lifts, years time would be spent by the engineers in the Birmingham district before the report would be in shape for Congress I will exert my honest efforts towards urging the government in giving to Birmingham that which nature has not bestowed.
 Supply Canal
 Birmingham will be the most logical roint for the base of coal supplies for the coaling stations of the Panama ca- nal and the Birmingham Warrior canal is intended to freight coal that will gen crate the power for at least one-half of the Panama canal traffic. By its very proximity and its vast coal veins yet unmined. the Alabama coal field will ship coal for the Panama trade and then to the South American ports.
 Such canal as the Chamber of Com merce proposes will be a great thing for Birmingham, great thing for Alabama and of world wide advantage for the Birmingham iron ore, iron products and manufactured articles Birmingham will be the metropolis of the south and will be the standard bearer of southern prog iess and reconstruction.
 T do not believe the railroads will be injured by this canal as it would carry traffic of such heavy weight that the railroads would be glad to be relieved or it. They will always haul the lighter and more perishable materials, but the canal is essential for the coal. iron and steel shipments from this district

Little Rock, May 22-The Ark ansas legislature convened in ex- traordinary session today with Mr. Milwee in the chair in the House, and H. K. Toney presid- ing over the Senate. No opposi- tion was shown in either branch of the Assembly, and it is hardly probable that any fight will be made, especially in the House.
 Both branches will be ready for business before night and it is probable the Senate will make an effort to adjourn at noon to- morrow The Senate contends it has nothing before it for action upon, and that no special session is necessary, especially since it passed the different appropri- ation measures in the regular session. When Gov. Donaghey vetoes the appropriation mea- sures, this will stop such a claim on the part of the Senate. He will demand that the legislat ture cut these appropriations to suit the revenue of the state, or in crease the revenue to fit the ap- propriations.
 There has already been pre-. pared a bill which bears all the essentials features of the old Bradham Hurst bill, which will be introduced in the House at once, immediately after the read ing of Gov. Donaghey's special message. Gov. Donaghey ex- poets to read this message this afternoon.
 The new revenue bill will have ellmated that section o fthe old Bradham-Hurst bill which pro- vlded for the assessment of cor poration taxes by the Arkansas Tax Commission. The members of the Tax Commission are mak. ing no objection to this section of the original bill, for the Assemb. ly has already passed an act which gives any property owner appeal from the assessments of the equalization board of any county upon corporation or other property. As the members of the Tax Commission are tax pay CTS, they can under this act, as citizens, take an appeal upon any assessment which does not suit them as individuals. The appeal can be carried to the Supreme Court if necessary and in this way tax lodging on the part of corporations and others will be prohibited
 The legislators all show dis position to get down to business and get what business they must attend to overwith and give the people of the state relief from long and expensive sessions of the legislature.

and threw them away. Then he began
seeking more.
This strawberry picking mania has a
pathetic origin. When he was about
twenty-one, and before his madness had
assumed such a severe form as 1t did
later. he fell deeply in love with a young
countess. This love affair came to a
sudden end at a picnic on the shores OF

whole afternoon picking strawberries.
