Members of the Birmingham Bar as- sociation held a meeting at the court house yesterday morning for the pur- pose of adopting resolutions express ing their regret at the possible resig- nation of Judge A. o. Lane from the circuit court bench to accept the place on the Birmingham commission.
 Many of those present spoke of Judge Lane in highest terms of praise. His services on the bench of the circuit court of Jefferson county were touched on with the most appreciative remarks by many of the attorneys who have plead their cases before him and who expressed themselves as having always been immininently satisfied with his de- cisions.
 The following re colutions, drafted by . committee composed of Sydney J. Bowie. Richard Fries and George r. Bondurant, were present ed to the meet ing and adopted:
 Whereas, it Is reported upon the highest authority that Hon. A. O. Lane, the associate judge of this court. will be rendered the appointment of one of the commissioners of the city of Birmingham: and.
 whereas, his service upon the bench has been conspicuously fair. impartial and marked by the exercise of great ability; and.
 "Whereas. his retirement from the bench will be a great loss. both to the bar and to the people of this county;
 Therefore. be 1t resolved that we take this opportunity of testifying to our continued esteem and confidence in Judge Lane. and our regret at los ing him from this position should he feel it his duty to accept the office to be rendered him."
 When the meeting was informed that 1t was probable Governor O'Neal had already decided on Judge Lanes suc- cessor, 1t was suggested by MT. Per- due that a committee of five be ap- pointed to recommend some name for the governors selection on the part of the local attorneys. This suggestion called forth motion that was adopted whereby the Bar association should make the recommendation to the gov ernor in case Judge Lane vacates his seat for the commissionership. The sen : timent of the meeting was that the To- cal association should have voice in the selection of another judge.

The results accomplished at the Red Mountain tuberculosis camps are prov ing little short of marvellous. There are at the camp and every patient is show ing signs of wonderful improvement. The camp has only been established for a short time. yet a number of patients have been sent away from the domicilss at the camp on the road to a speedy recovery from consumption. The new sanitarium, which will house F patients, will be one of the most valuable assets of the camp in the way of equipment to care for those in the advanced stages. Five of these rooms are now being fur nished and equipped, contributions hav- ing been made by four Birmingham la dies and one corporation. The pavilion Is now completed and next week several patients will be transferred from their little tents to this building, which is ar ranged and ventilated according to the rules laid down by the National Associa- ton for the Cure and Prevention of Tu- berculosis
 The establishment of a dispensary by the society in the Chamber of Commerce building is one of the most convenient features of the system for the cure and prevention of the disease. There are many patients suffering from tubercl- losis who are unable to go to the camp on account of lack of funds and the necessity of continuing their employ ment to provide for their families. The dispensary thus affords them regular treatment and instruction and patients can in this manner receive appropriate ease without giving up their work A large number of persons who have the

Visitors in Fall Will Hardly
Recognize Place.
Many Improvements Being Made
by Management.

Visitors to the State fair next fall
will hardly recognize the grounds on
which fairs have been held for years.
The $4,000 which the county voted
for improvements on the property is
now being utilized and a great trans
formation is being effected
The plans for four new swine barns
have just been completed by Architect
John f. Stanton and within a very
short time they will be in process of
building. They will be of frame con-
struction and more pretentious than
anything heretofore that has been pro-
vided to house mere pigs
However, they will not be erected at
great expense, and while tho materials
used will not be costly, yet the general
effect will be pleasing for the reason
that the mission style of architecture,
which has been adopted by the board
of managers of the fair, will be car
ried out. The hog abodes will be
painted a color which will match the
stucco of the larger and more costly
stock pavilions.
The buildings will be 1OSx2S feet in
size and will contain SO pens each,
which will accommodate an aggregate
of upwards Of 400 swine There will
be twenty feet of space between each
barn. There will be openwork on the
sides of the building and the roofs will
be single.
The pens will be provided with ex-
| terror gates, so that when judging
| takes place, the animals on display
can be driven outside of the building.
This will greatly facilitate the work of
the officials. There will be flag poles
on the features of the buildings, and

A HARMLESS BOMB. j"
Placed Under Newspaper in Judge
Landis' Chambers-A Joke?

Chicago, April Just to show
the government authorities how futile
is their attempt to stop the work of
the ''black hand murderers and ex-
torters of money in Chicago, somebody
slipped into the federal building yes
terday, escaped the watchful eyes of
the numerous special agents in the
building and deposited a harmless
bomb" within a few feet of the
chambers of Judge Lands court, on
the sixth floor.
The murderous appearing parcel
consisted of a big shotgun shell which
had been emptied and filed with a
substance that looked like hardened
rnucilage. 1t had been deposited in
the vicinity of Judge lands cham
bers, beneath newspaper.
Charles De Woody, chief special
agent for the government, who is in
vestigating the "black hand" outrage
in Chicago, used his knife on its outer
coating and finally uncovered the
mucilage. 'T don't know why it was
placed there said Mr.. De Woody.
'1t may have been joke. or possibly
a warning. At any rate, do not care
to talk about it."

exploded in the front of the tenement.
The explosion shattered windows

story building.

representation of some distinctively
Mexican scene. Various attempts were
made to carry out the design in paint
on asbestos, and finally the present
medium was selected. The design por-
trays a romantic Mexican legend of the
Princess Ixtaccihuatl, who was loved
by a youth, Popo. The king father
frowned upon the match, and when his
commands were disobeyed, converted
them into the great peaks which bear
their names. IxtaccihuatI is in the
form of a recumbent woman, white and
cold, while the volcanic Popocatepet1
is consumed by hidden fires.
