HIS MEASURE Is CALLED UP

HouSE-MEASURE TO CLOSE
SALOONS AT p. M. INDEFI-
NITELY POSTPONED.
BY j. II. Reese.

Tallahassee, May 1S.-Upon recon-
sideration this morning the West joint
resolution for the initiative and refer
endum \ was carried by As to II.
Among those voting against it were
Mr.. Jennings, the speaker. The 9TH
ers were Bullock, Butler of Duval, Ell
lis of Alachua, Hendry of Lee, Knight,
Matthews. Millinor Robinson, Rogers,
Scofield, Somerville, Stringer, Sum-
mers, Wall, Wells and Winthrop.
The special investigating commit
tee headed by Mr.. Smith of Clay ap-
pointed to look into the affairs of the
administrative offices, filed its report
today The committee has really done
nothing, as 1t was predicted that it
would, when the Gornto resolution re-
curing report in ten days was
adopted. This resolution added to the
absence of Mr.. Smith, having been
called home on account of death in his
family, completed the lack of the
committee to be able to accomplish
anything, although the reports of the
officials were received and the report
deals with these in a somewhat per-
functory manner.
BONDING PROPOSITION LOST.
Though the Angle convict lease sys-
tenn bill went through the house yes
terday afternoon, his companion
measures have been lost. One was the
bill to create a state highway commisS
sion and the other was a proposed
constitutional amendment for ten
million dollar issue of bonds for road
purposes. AS it is the Angle meas
ure has made a step in the direc-
tion of abolishing the lease system
and putting them on the public roads.
but the house has exhibited it's in
consistency by not providing q way to
make the provisions of the bill in the
most thorough manner effective
The speaker opposed the Angle
measures, and stated his reasons. I'VE
are now preparing, for the referen-
dunn" said he, and as surely as it is
adopted and the people are given a
chance to vote on this thing we will
have the lease system saddled on the
state for many years to come. My
amendment which proposed to get rid
of the system by degrees was in my
opinion the only solution. If the con-
victs are put on the public roads at
this time it will cost the state $780,
OOO This is the practical side of the
question. There are mighty few peo-
pie who are not against the system,
but we have a. financial problem to
contend with when we go about abol-
ishing it."

principle that the carrier may not
properly look beyond the transporta-
tion to the ownership of the shipment
as basis for determining the appli-
cability of Its rates.
The ruling was announced because
many carriers have regulations in their
freight tariffs providing that the

the goods are accepted for shipment
The commission directs that all such
regulations shall be stricken from the
tariffs by June 1, 1911.

 John has always been a good christian boy, and bore his af- flictions with christian courage up until the last breath of life departed to wonder shore. Through all of his suffering he never gave up hope but trust ed in Jesus to get well.
 But Jesus could see farther in- to the future than he could and took him home to rest.
 John was a study young man and temperate in all his habits He has never been known to use alcoholic drinks of any kind. Never has used tobacco in any form, and his mouth has been clean from vulgarity.

s. H. March, a prominent 1nancier of New York, connected with the famous banking house of Ladenburg, Thalman & Co.,, was in Birmingham yesterday He spent the day looking over the properties of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company and in conferring with some local friends. He left last night for Nashville, where he will make further in vestigations as to southern conditions.
 MT. March, with whom Birmingham IS @ distinct favorite said this city was surely in better shape now than at any time, and he predicted the very best possible business conditions during this year. Mir March said conditions all over the country were fine, and paid Birming ham the unusual compliment of saying that no place was held in higher esteem for investments by New York f1nanciers in the south.
 T find fewer commercial failures or insovencies this past season than in many" said MT. March. ''The country is sound financially and I look for no break in the normal trend of affairs
 The immense cotton and corn crops, added to the imperial position industrial ly of this city, are few of the trade features which cause this section to sible way, and I find little hestancy in New York of granting Birmingham any thing that is wanted'

 q believe and have long believed that the dispensary offers the best solution to this most perplexing question. Strong liquors should be handled through prop ery regulated dispensares, while I would advocate the licensing of reputable cafes and restaurants for the handling of the lighter beverages.

REGARDING JUDGE
 LANES SUCCESSOR
Successor Appointed Would Hold Off, flee Two Years if the Judge
 Should Resign

If Judge A. O. Lane should accept the place which will in all probability be of fered him as one of the three commits sicners of Birmingham, the appointment of his successor as judge of the circuit court would hold good for period of two years dating from last November -4
 Information to this effect was furnished yesterday by Judge Lane who stated that the appointment of the governor would continue in effect until the next election, at which some state officer Is selected. Such would happen two years hence when the first state officer to be elected will be for the supreme bench
 Judge Lane refused to make any state n1ant in regard to his acceptance of the place on the commission should it be of- fered him, and said that he would not give out any expression concerning the matter until he had fully familiarized himself with the provisions of the bill.
 The names of several prominent men have been suggested as the probable suc- cessor of Judge Lane, but nothing defi- nite has been materialized. The term of the circuit judges covers a period of six years, and Judge Lane had just begun a new term last month. The remuneration which Is realized amounts to $4400 a year.

BERNEY BUILDING
 ID BE PURCHASED Interstate Fire to Pay $5O,-
 900 for Property IS ON FIRST AVENUE Site Fronts 27H Feet on First Ave nue Adjoining Woodward Build
 ing and Is Very Valua-
 ble Property

For occupancy as a home building, the Interstate Fire Insurance company of this city is negotiating for the pur- chase of the Berney National bank build ing, adjoining the Woodward office build ing on First avenue.
 The price to be paid is $50,000 for zi1s feet fronting on First avenue. The ne- gotiations, while now we'll advanced, will not be concluded until a directors meet ing of the Interstate company Is held next Monday.
 The property is owned by the Amer ican Trust and Savings bank, which be- gan Its existence in that building. The negotiations for the sale of the property are being handled by Frank and Walter Fowlkes, and it is stated they will carry the trade to successful termination.
 The site involved in the purchase is among the most highly desirable in the central business section of Birmingham. The price, while rather large, Is said to be under the admitted market value of property In that locality. However, the bank, it is stated, Is not in the real estate business, hence the sale at the figures mentioned. Frank Fowlkes says he knows of no better home for any Birmingham institution than this build Ing.
 It will be some time before the Inter state Fire Insurance company will oc- cupy the building. It Is stated that the American Trust and Savings bank will .lr, fc 1,o- ing constructed, work upon which Is to be started very soon. After the new American Trust building is completed the bank will remove into it. and the Inter state Fire Insurance company will then go into It's own home
 It is stated that the purchasing com pany will make extensive Improvements in the building, adding to it's appearance a great deal, and may eventually erect a commodious office building on the site.
 The company buying this property was organized here and is said to be strong institution. The company is wholly of To- cal conception and Is officered princi- pally by local men. B. H. Cooper Is pres ident of the company, Ed Smith general solicitor, John l.. Parker treasurer, Bert Throckmorton secretary and w. l.. Rev onlds vice president and general man. ager.
 In regard to the prospective purchase of the building President Cooper said yesterday that he had no statement to give out as yet. MT. Smith said the same thing The reticence of the local officers Is said to be caused by the fact that three outside directors have not been formally consulted about the sale, and that the officers feel a hesitancy in officially speaking of the transaction un- til all the directors have been treated with the customary consideration.
