REVENUE BILL IS
 ! NOW SAT|SFA FACTORY

With the assurance that an objectionable Insurance clause will be again stricken from the proposed revenue bill, a number of Birmingham citizens returned from Montgomery last night after a day set aside to protest against the clause
 The insurance clause of the revenue bill has excited the displeasure of business men throughout Alabama, inasmuch as 1t seriously offends the insurance com panies doing business in this state and is calculated to deprive the state of a great sum of money annually. It was taken from the bill once, but to the surprise of many affected by that measure it reap peared again, causing the eensure which was expressed yesterday.
 The returning delegation last night was of the opinion that the lawmakers would adjourn until tomorrow, having no ses- sion today in Montgomery.
 Those who went from Birmingham in- cluded M. V. Joseph, Louis Pizitz. Joseph B. Babb. Secretary Chaffee of the Busi- ness Mems league: J. D. Moore, Robert A. Brown, Coleman Blach. R. D. Bur nett, George Blinn, II. G. Seibels, J. N. Rose, Bertram Jacobs and others.

PERCY DONNELL
 BADLY INJURED
BOY ON BICYCLE WAS FOLLOW ING CHIEF BENNETS MA CHINE TO FIRE AND RAN INTO STREET CAR

While following the machine of'Chief Bennett to a fire. Percy Donnell, a 17-year-old boy, was struck by Gate City car yesterday morning at Twenty fourth street and Fourth avenue and seriously if not fatally injured. Lige Loy's ambulance was rushed to the scene and young Donnell was carried to the Solomon Wilder infirmary.
 He was examled by Dr. Wilder who stated last night that his injuries were very serious, but not necessarily fatal His left arm was badly broken near the shoulder, he suffered a scalp wound which may prove serious, and was se- verelyrbruised about the body. Up to a late hour last night he was in a semi conscious state and had not recovered sufficiently to make a statement in re- gard to the accident
 According to the statement of by islanders Donnell was riding a bicycle on the south side of Twenty fourth street going east. He was following the fire department and ks said to have vehicle coming down the north side of the street caused him to turn to the left and he struck the Gate City car He was dragged for a short distance before the car could be stopped.
 There was large crowd around the car in short time and the boy was removed from under the car and sent to the nearest infrmary. Chief Ben nett stopped his machine and helped to extricate the unfortunate youth from beneath the car.
 Donnell Is about 17 years of age and lives with his aunt, MT. and Mrs. J.. R. Irwin. in the Whitfield flats at Fifth avenue and Twenty-third street. Im- mediately after the accident they were notified and hurried to the infirmary. Donnell was employed as assistant night clerk In the Louisville and Nash vile railroad offices.
 Tt is wonder to me that more ac- cidents have not happened on account of the way in which some people take after the fire department as soon as they see it, said Chief Bennett yester- day. This Is very dangerous thing to do and unless the practice is stopped serious if not fatal accidents are sure to happen. Whenever the department goes out there is a crowd of boys on bicycles, men in wagons and buggies, that dash after the machines without a thought of what they are doing"
 Young Donnell has for some, time been employed on the circulation de- partment of The Age-Herald.

The merchants of Birmingham hope to make festival week" the greatest of it's kind In the history of the city. During the week beginning May % the National Good Roads associa ation will assemble here and will undoubt edly bring hundreds of well known Alabamians from various parts of the state as well as scores of men of na- tional reputation. The May music fes- tiyal will be held during the same week and the success of last years festival will go far toward assuring the sue cess of this years big event, which will be on a still more elaborate scale. It is sure to bring hundreds of lovers of music to Birmingham.
 Merchants also seem to be taking kindly to the idea of having trade carnival during the same week, so that the number of visitors may be swelled still more. Some of them are inclined to believe that 1t might be well to have the carnival for a week either before or after festival week, while others think all energies should be centered on getting a big attendance for the three attractions in one week.
 It. seems to be the general impress sion that the Business Mems league or Chamber of Commerce committees should take the question up and de- eide on what arrangement should be made for the events. Among the ex- pressions heard yesterday were:
 M. P. Messer. real estate: q believe the idea of celebrating with a trade carnival is very good. if 1t is carried out l believe in putting on any legit- innate proposition, that will bring the people to Birmingham. I think it is an excellent scheme of holding such celebration simultaneously with the Good Roads congress and the music festival, and I greatly favor the plan"
 B. B Burton, piano dealer: ."I approve of the plan of having just such a celebration as has been proposed by Sol Caheen, and l think it will afford an opportunity to pull off big stunt in.

CAPTAIN CROWLEY
 |NSPECTS A. N. t.
ARMY OFFICER IS LOOKING OVER INFANTRY BRANCH WITH GEN. SCULLY-MILITIA IN GOOD SHAPE

Capt. Matthias Crowley of the Seven- teenth infantry, United States army, is in Birmingham engaged in inspecting the infantry branch of the Alabama National Guard, along with Adjt. Gen. Joseph B.. Scully
 Captain Crowley. in speaking of the Alabama National Guard, said:
 "The Alabama troops are in fine shape They have borne inspection very well, indeed, and I am glad of the opportunity of being here. The National Guard in spections are caused by provision in the Dick bill. But the inspections as to the personnel of the companies and the bearing of the men does not take place until the annual encampments.
 Captain Crowley, in talking of the ma- neuverc along the Mexican border, said that the movement of the troops was as mysterious to the army officers as to any one.
 T saw in a paper where the Seven teenth infantry had been ordered to pro- ceed to San Antonio" said Captain Crow ley. That Is my regiment and I had been away only day. did not believe the report but I saw a confirmation the following day which left no room to doubt. When left the post there was no talk of a movement and it naturally sur prised all the officers.
 Our regiment moved from the post to the maneuver camp in two days, which demonstrates clearly that our army can move quickly when ordered I should say that the entire movement of the troops is as mysterious to the army as to the general public.
 T will be engaged here few days longer inspecting the infantry compan:es of the National Guard, after which I shall rejoin my regiment in San An tonic. I have no idea what the entire business will result in. but should be- ,ieve that there will not be any serious trouble in Mexico.''

Letters to the Editor
About Secret Orders

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 have little clipping from your pa per headed Almost Serious was war of words caused by sanctifed preachers s attack on secret orders.
 So I wish to say that your reporter from West Blocton has misrepresented me. I am not of the Holy Roller persua- sion at all. I am a member of the Wes- leyan Methodist church, and I am the vice president of the Alabama confer ence of the Wesleyan Methodist connec- tion Cor church) of America, and I am also the superintendent of this mission field, and I wish to say that I am in good standing with my conference and also with my church, and am also pas tor of Friendship church in district 50 and beat in the county of Bibb in the state of Alabama and I am In good stand ing with my county and state.
 I wish to say that myself and MT. Col son did have a talk at the depot, and I was talking to him about his drinking and using tobacco, as I had done many times before, and ne brought up the se- cret order question himself, and said that the orders were doing more good charge, and told him that the secret or ders were the devils substitute for Gods church and he said that I said that the devil organized the orders, and I denied that. That Is what he got mad at me for, but I am sure that did not get mad in the least and did not even have any thought of getting mad. Personally, I have nothing against MT. Golson at all, even though he got mad at me, can say that I did not get mad at him and ' think just as much of him as I ever did. Myself and Mir. Golson have talked about the orders many times before and he did not get mad, and I have said the same things to him before that I said to him that morning and if he got mad I did nos find 1t out, and why he got mad so quick that morning I am sure l don't know But l am frank to say now and forever to one and all, that I am no- in favor of secret orders. and that l have no compromise to make with any one along this line. am an ordained nlnlSteT OI tno BOSPCA anu hoNC my Sch victions about the orders and will preach my convictions if It takes my head off, and wish to say that am not the only preacher that breaches against the or- ders. I can refer you to such men as Rev W. B. Godby, Rev. L. l.. Picket, Rev Dr. Terry, Rev. A. C. Dixon, Rev. H. C. Morrison, Rev. B. Carridine and many others that stand out against the orders as false religion and rival to Gods church.
 | And as for this matter coming up again for a final settlement I just want to say to one and all that I am ready for anything that may come, even to death, for the Lord saves me now and sanctifes me wholly. Yours for truth and righte- ousness. P. c. RAMSEY.

Dry Shampooing
 Improves the Hair

(Madge Lyon on Hair and Scalp') Women having an abundance of fine, glossy hair do not employ wet Shampoo. They rely upon powder. which is sifted on the scalp and brushed through the hair, removing dandruff and excess oil. and leaving the scalp clean, soft and pliant. and the hair light, fluffy and beautifully lustrous
 Tt is surprising what excellent re- suits can be had if the dry shampoo Is used for short time. Dry and scaly scalps become clean, soft and free from dandruff; course, faded and stringy hair grows rich, fine and glossy.
 "A dry shampoo of unusual excel lence can be made at little cost if you mix ounces of orris root with ounces of theroX. Just sprinkle a tablespoonful of this mixture on the scalp, then brush out well. Dry sham pooing removes al! Possibility of catching cold from washing the head"

 J. A. Rountree: "The idea of having big spring festival with the view oe stimulating the business interests Is a splendid one. l think the time, as pro posed, when the Good Roads cona sss and the music festival are both be held would make the occasion only more practicable. heartily indorse plan, and l hope the people will d, eide to push 1t through"
 Stephen Smith: q am very much in favor of the May trade carnival as sug- gested by MT. Caheen. It will serve to keep a continuous stream of visitors here if coincident with the converting of the roads association and the musical festival. I think the general carnival spirit would cause a good feeling and would net the results contemplated ? Hugo Marx: q think all business men would be glad to see the success of a trade carnival here. The getting of peo- pie to city is half the battle in work ing for the advertisement of city or for the purpose of boosting trade. favor the scheme.''
 Capt. J. R. McGregor of the Frisco lines; 'I do not feel the least uneasiness In saying that the Frisco lines as well as other railroads would encourage the May trade carnival so far as consistent. The railroads desire to create a good feeling for the cities on their line and are always willing to cooperate wherever possible with the mercantile interests. l think the trade carnival would be winner and I know the rail- roads will do their part
