Laboring under the apprehension that some citizens might construe a ruling of the commission of Thursday, inflicting corporal discomfort upon two erring ne- gro boys, to the effect that by such q step a whipping post was to be estab- lished in Birmingham, Commissioner Lane yesterday caused this statement to be issued:
 ''There seems to have been miscon- ception as to the action of the board yesterday in reference to the two boys who were released upon their receiving corporal punishment. It is not the pur- pose of the board to institute a whip ping post. It was stated to the mothers of those boys that if they themselves would voluntarily chastise the boys to a reasonable extent, in the presence of

HARD NUT FOR TAFT.
La Toilette Wool Bill win Be Passed
Up to President.

washington, July 15.-If Senators
Smoot and Crane Republicans and
WllllanS Democrat. prove true proph-
cts. PRESIDENT Taft will have to solve
one OF the hardest problems of his adj
mln1Strat1on before the adjOurnm ent
OF the special session of congress. Ac-
cording to these three, all of whom
talked with the president today the
senate through com animation of
democrats and insurgents will pass
the La Toilette bill revising the wool
schedule of the present tariff.
The house already has passed a
wool bill which differs materially
from that drawn by Senator La Fol-
lette, but according to the same unOf
ficial prophets, it would accept the
latter measure rather than get no bill
at all President Taft it is pointed
out, them would be face to face with
one of the most difficult questions
that has come before him. He has
called the present wool schedule in
defensible."
The tariff board has promised to fur
nish data for a scientific revision of
that schedule by December and ia
many of his later speeches the presi-
dent has declared that he opposed any
revision not based upon the investiga-
ton Of the board. He has placed him
self in opposition to what he has
termed ''unscientific" and haphaZard
tariff tinkering." indicating plainly
that he would prefer congress to wait
until the tariff board has made its re-
port. The president. it was said to-
day, has confided to few people his
future course of action if a wool re
vision bin should be put up to him. It
is believed, however, he would veto the
LaFollette bill and in his veto message
make a defense to the country for such
action. 1t was said late today that the
regular Republicans might make an
effort to counterfeit the effect of the
movement by introducing a bill of their
own but they have little hope of sue
cess.

height of about 1000 feet, when its
course changed to the southeast and
later to the south. in which latter d.
rection it continued until about six
miles from town.

at 2:30 .. m. it was almost directly

held in the probate court. This is the
second action to be brought in this
county under the criminal statute
1t is alleged that Perry recently
left his wife and three daughters and
that since that time the wife and
mother has been compelled to provide
the necessities of the family She was
assisted by her parents and it was
largely through the persuasion Of the
woman's father that the action was
brought. The three daughters are
Margaret. aged 10 years; Ruth. aged
s years; and Susie, who is 2 years old.
1t is charged in the complaint that
Perry, who earns good salary, failed
to provide the necessities for the home
and that the mother and children
were often denied the care and atten-
ton which the husband and father
should have given the family.
The case has not yet been set for
trial and will probably not be heard
for several days. It will be the first
case under this section of the statutes
to be tried in Judge Garver's court.
