TO CRUISE THE WORLD
IN A GASOLINE YAC!iT
Millionaire viii Spend the Rest Of Eit
Life on the Vessel.

James B. Hammond. the millionaire
typewriter inventor and manufactures,
has started in his ninety-five foot gas
oline yacht, Lounger H., on the round
of the ports of the world.
He is seventy-three years old. and he
says he intends to spend the remainder
of his days on the Lounger II. AS
Mr.. Hammond has made up his mind
to live to be 100 years old, he has
twenty-seven years of blissful voyag-
ing and cruising in prospect. The
yacht is certainly beautiful and COM
modious enough to tempt one to pro-
long existence upon her.
She is sixteen feet beam and draws
only three feet. She is equipped with
every device that science can suggest
provided with every comfort and lux
ury. If her engine should refuse duty
there is sail to fall back upon. She is
good for fifteen knots an hour.
There is a refrigerating plant for
cooling the cabins in summer, and
there are thermostatic installations for
keeping an even temperature in win
ter. She has a tank for carrying fresh
fish. In a cockpit especially construct
ed for it nestles an automobile.
The start was made from the yard of
the New York Yacht, Launch and En-
gine company. Accompanying him are
nurse, masseur, a chauffeur, sec
retary, Ptnky, Boston bull; a mother
dog and six puppies, a canary and
phonograph.
Captain Into is in command. The
skipper's wife is the cook. The skip
per's cousin is the wireless operator
and his brother-in-law the bo'sun.
During his twenty-seven year cruise,
Mr.. Hammond said, he intended to
touch at every port. After he is
through with the Lounger II. he says
he will present her to the United
States government as a model Of ma
rine architecture.
Some Of the relatives of the wealthy
manufacturer some time ago tried to
have him declared incompetent to man
age his estate, but the courts decided
that Mr.. Hammond was fully compe-
tent to look out for his fortune and
himself

Convicted Banker Keeps Up Fight to

Charles w. Morse will appeal to the
United States circuit court from the
recent decision of Judge William It.
Newman denying his freedom from
the Atlanta prison, where he is serv-
ing a fifteen year sentence for viola
ton of the national banking laws.
Morse contended that the court
should fix his status as a prisoner un-
der ten year sentence or a fifteen
year sentence, that he might deter
mine how much time he might get off
for good behavior and when a parole
might be applied for. He also con-
tended that the Atlanta prison was
for the detention of prisoners at hard
labor, whereas he could not be SEN
fenced to hard labor

There have been more brilliant SOL

GEYSER SPOUTs STONES.
Freak Action of Hot Spring In Vel
lovvstone Park.

Freak Action of Hot Spring In Vel
lowstone Park.
Eruptions Of large quantities OF
water, steam, sand and small rocks to
u height of several hundred feet from
the hot springs in the Norris basin in
Yellowstone National park have been
occurring during the summer
Persons familiar with the park are
unable to explain the phenomenon
They say that as the geysers have
shown no diminutton in activity the
eruptions cannot be due to a diversion
of steam and hot water from the regu-
lar outlets.
1t may indicate, however, increasing
activity in the subterranean forces to
which the geysers are due, and If such
is the case it is possible another geysel
may develop in the park.

Win Introduce Bill
 To Regulate Poll Taxes
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery, February N.-(Special.)- Representative Sam Jenkins of Baldwin county will introduce a bill tomorrow dealing with the matter of the payment of poll taxes. He is one member of the legislature who believes that it was the intention of the makers of the constitu- ton of 1901 that every white man of the state should vote. He does not believe in cumulative poll taxes, although this departure will not be included in his bill.
 It is now the law that no man who has not paid poll taxes for every year since 1901 can legally vote. According to the Jenkins bill, every man who has paid 1911 poll taxes and the taxes of every succeeding year should be entitled to vote. In other words, according to the Jenkins bill, 1911 will be substituted for 1901.
 The bill will provide for an election before the people on the change of the constitution of 1901. Another question which the bill leaves to the people is the making of one years residence in Ala bama the basis for voting. According to the regulations at the present time, man to vote In Alabama must have been a resident of Alabama for two years. Ac- cording to the Jenkjns bill, one years residence is sufficient.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-02-21

The Jenkins bin, in case of its pas sage through the house, will cause tha submission of another question to the voters in the general election of 1912. Other matters will be on the segrega- ton of Jefferson county in the matter of regulating the fees and salaries of officials of that county. It is probable that other counties will also urge that a vote be taken on their segregation. Tuscaloosa is one of these and Calhoun another. Another amendment that will be voted on by the people in the elec- tion of 1912 will be the matter of per |sonal or direct taxation for the benefit of schools and education. The third will be on the provisions of the Jenkins bill-that one years residence and the payment of poll taxes from 1911 are the requisites for voting legally in Ala bama.
 That the bill segregating Jefferson county will pass the senate and be ap- proved by the governor is taken for granted. It Is believed that it will stand the test of popular ballots, too. It is believed, too, that the amendment provided for in the Jenkins bill will also receive the majority of the votes of the people. The amendment con- corning direct taxation for the benefit of the schools will also pass, it is be- lieved. Congressman Hobson and Syd- ney J. Bowie are two speakers who have agreed to stump the state in its be- half.

ALDR|CH FAV0RS
 RECIPROCITY BILL Announcement Causes Con- sternatiOn in Ranks of
 Standpatters

Washington, February 20.-Senator AL drich, chairman of the finance committee of the Senate, has written to President Taft that he favors the confirmation of the Canadian reciprocity agreement.
 Whether the letter makes promises of assistance in getting action in the Senate at the present session has not been dis closed, but senators who have seen the letter intimate that the senator Will do all he can to aid the President in carry ing his programme through.
 An announcement that Senator Aldrich whose name is attached to the existing tariff act, had subscribed to the terms of the reciprocity agreement with Can ada was received with great surprise in the Senate, especially by the "standpat- ters," who have come out against the agreement on the ground that it is not
 in compliance with the tenets of the republican party on the subject of pro- lection. Some of these senators were loath to believe the report that the chair ann of the finance committee, who in tariff fights has always been found on the side of protection for every industry, whether manufacturing, agricultural or mining, had indorsed the Presidents pro- gramme for freer trade with Canada
 
 White House today in respect to the letter and there was considerable spec ulation as to whether the message would be made public. Early in the present session Senator Aldrich was compelled to leave Washington on account of his health. He is spending the winter at Jekyl Island, Ga, and although much better than when he left here, 1t is no, likely that he will be able to take any further part in tariff legislation, for his service in the Senate will end on March A. His letter, therefore, even If made public, can have no effect other than to ease the minds of some stand pat senators who are inclined to vote for the Canadian reciprocity agreement against their convictions.
 Soon after the Canadian agreement was sent Congress and it was reported thert little chance for action in the Senat, the present session. President Taft to Senator Aldrich It is un- derstc, executive urged the veteran tariff alSer to come back and take charge fight for the measure in the Senate. sH Senators who discussed today the state ment issue by Representative Mccall, following his Sunday interview with President Taft. construed it to mean thai an extra session of Congress surely would be called by the President in the event that the Senate failed to act on the agreement and that the statement was issued with the Presidents sanction. fl not direction. There is no doubt that il filled some senators with consternation while some others felt that it was only a gentle reminder from the White House that the ''big sticS' was still in working order.

New Press Delayed

, From some unaccountable cause or de- lay in transit the new press for the Bes- semer Daily Standard Publishing com pany has failed to arrive in the city and the first issue of the new paper is de- layed.
 John H. Edmondson, general manager of the new daily, has received the notice of shipment from the firm manufacturing the press. and 1t was due to arrive last week. The delay Is supposedly caused by the bad weather which was prevalent in the north last week, making railway traffic very difficult.
 Telegrams and tracers have been sent all over the route and 1t is hoped by the management of the paper that the press will soon be located and forwarded im- mediately to its destination. In the mean time everything is being gotten in readi- ness in the local office and the paper will be gotten out as soon as the press ar rives and is set up.

However, 1t is safe proposition that whenever the bill is in troduced 1t will be similar to the Smith bill, minus the election features of that bill.
 This provides for high license of $lSo) for saloons, for early closing hours. and for pure food regulations. The bill, 1t now appears, will encounter less opposi- tion than did the Parks bill. Capt. Jack

Bond Issue Election

The circular letters issued by the mayor and board of aldermen in reference to The bond issue election, which will be held next Monday, has caused much interest to be taken in the approaching election.
 The citizens seem to be of the opinion that the credit of the city is at stake and that the bond issue should carry for that reason as well as the fact that the city would save s25oo yearly from interest alone. The present council refused to increase the privilege taxes of the mer- chants and business men of the city. and are keeping the expenditures within the income. The general impression is that the bond issue will carry by a large majority.
