PLAN ID RENAME
 STREETS OF C|TY Lane Preparing Ordinance to Facilitate Locating of
 Residences

Tine city commission will undertake nues of Birmingham renamed in order to render it possible for a stranger to find his way about the city, to say nothing of the home folks. The very difficult task of locating houses in Bir- mingham, especially on South High lands, has more than once been point ed out to the commissioners.
 Commissioner Lane said yesterday that if the other commissioners would back him up, and he believed they would, he intended to offer an ordi- nance providing for the general rear rangement of the names of the local streets and avenues It is not the pur- pose of the commission to change any of the well known streets and avenues. However, where new streets have been attached to Birmingham and named af- ter race horses. flowers, trees, actors and actresses, it Is proposed to refix the names of those thoroughfares into a speaking likeness of something req sonable.
 . T have lived here for-well, I am afraid to say how long," said Judge Lane yesterday and l would not at tempt to find some streets and avenues in this city. l could no more locate some of my friends than l could oper- ate an aeroplane. l believe this is a serious question and 1 will ask the com mission to see what can be done to remedy the situation"

Two pxr islanders also were slightly hurt by stray bullets. Clifford Bennett. who is wealthy, has been separated from his wife for some time and the wife filed suit for di- vorce yesterday. The shooting, it is said by friends of the two men to have been due to young Carey's attentions to his cousins wife.
 The cousin had been notified to keep away from Mlwood, the village where Clifford lived, and today got off the train there in company with two young women, for the first time in several months. Clifford was at the station, and it is said the shooting began inn mediately. A brother of Carey ran be- tween the two men but Clifford fired over his shoulders. striking Carey in the hand. The latter then returned the fire shooting Clifford three times.

CORPORATE EARNINGS FOR
 1911 SHOW BIG DECREASE

Washington, May 19.-Corporate earnings in the United States decreased S115'500. 900 during 1911. That figure represents the comparative loss in net earnings as reeorted to Royal E. Ca ben, commissioner of internal revenue. for making assessment under the cor porations excise tax law.
 In a statement issued today Mr. Ca- bell says the returns indicate poorer conditions last year than in 1910, par ticularly in the iron, steel and certain manufacturing industries
 The gross receipts of corporations did not suffer as great ratio of de- crease as the net. The returns indicate. the commission points out, that this was because labor and supply men shared more largely in the receipts of the various companies in 1911 than in 1910. This was particularly so in the case of railroads, he says, which seem generally to have paid increased amounts for labor without a eorres- bonding increase in income being in- dicated in many cases an actual de- crease in income being shown
 The one per cent assessment on the 1911 net earnings of corporations will turn into the federal treasury about

Washington, May 19.-(special)- Representative Adamsons bill for the regulation of the Panama canal, which prohibits railroad steamships from operating in American waters' threatens serious complications with Canada.
 Canadian steamships, most of which are owned by railroads, will be dealt a severe blow and put out of business in American waters if the bill, which will pass the House this week, is also passed by the Senate.
 Members of the interstate commerce several of whom favor the bill agree with members of the inter- state commerce committee that no Cam adian ship can use any American wa ters under the terms of the Adam son bill, touch at any American ports on the Great Lakes, or use the Pan anna canal. The full extent of this sweeping provision has only come to be fully realized within the past few days.

Of Being We'll Agan-New Tonic Pro- duced a Remarkable Change for the Better in Very Short
 Length of Time

Mrs. H. P. Payne of Birmingham made fhe following statement recently in con nection with "Tona yita," the tonic that is now being introduced in Birmingham by representatives at the Collier Drug company She said: q have been sick for some time. I tried all kinds of medi- eines without relief l suffered prin- cipally with indigestion and nervousness.
 T slept poorly and sleep did me very little good. l was dreadfuly tired most of the time and never felt well mo- ment seldom had a good appetite and whenever I did eat I would taste the food for hours afterward.
 ''I got some 'Tona Vita and have taken 1t regularly since. From the very be- ginning l felt the good effects of this tonic and I now feel for the first time in sew eral months like a well, healthy woman. now seem to get nourishment from my food, and no longer have indigestion or feel tired or depressed"
 The representatives who are here intro ducing "Tona Vita" are giving demon- stration of what the preparation will do. All day long. between the hours of 9 a. m. and p. m., they meet callers at the Collier Drug company's store, 109-111 North Twentieth street, and try to produce noticeable improvement in all cases of nervous debility within nve minutes. The people who take the tonic to be the judge. There is no charge for this demonstra- tion.
 :" Tona Vita is breaking all records in Birmingham" said one of these represen- tatives. "The people here are rapidly awakening to a full appreciation of what the preparation will do for them, and the sale is very large," continued he "We are instructed by our company to take no money for the tonic unless 1t proves satisfactory. Hundreds upon hundreds in this and other large cities are afflicted with nervous debility caused by the strain of metropolitan life. The entire system becomes run down in such cases and ner- vousness. stomach trouble headache, backache, despondency and loss of vital ity result. "Tona Vita will work wonders in such cases in remarkable short time. If it doesn't we want nothing other than the time 1t takes to come and get the tonic.''

BPS. PTS, 900, most of which will be paid in June, against s29,432,000 last year a decrease of $1,154000. The amount probably will be augmented somewhat before the close of the fiscal year, MT. Cabell says. bringing the decrease be- low s1,000, 000 Considering business conditions in 1911, he adds, this may be considered fairly satisfactory.
 While there was big loss in the aggregate net earnings there was an increase of 1766O In the number of corporations. The number in 1911 was 2S7,S62 as compared with 270, POP in 1910. Of the total number which filed returns only 20 per cent were found liable to tax.
 Mir Cabell draws his conclusions re- garding the iron and steel industries from the showing of the corporations in the PIttsburg district. The net cor porate earnings in that section de- creased $7591 ,000.
 The manufacturing conditions were reflected in the returns from Con necticutt and Massachusetts. In the former state the net proceeds decreased $6.109.000 and In the latter $t1.332,0 000.
 The assessments for Hawaii. the com- missioner remarks, indicate an ex- tremely prosperous condition in the island, the net earnings of the corpor- ation increasing sf,274,000.

MAY NOT RECESS OVER CONVENTIONS Congress Gossip Centers
 Upon Adjournment THE HOUSE IS CLEAR Senate Is So Congested With Legisla- tion That Republican Leaders Ex- pect to Adjourn About First
 Part of August
THE HOUSE IS CLEAR

Washington, May 19.-congress gossip row centers largely upon adjournment. The progressive republican senators in- sist that after so many months of dis cussion at this session there should be important legislative achievements on the tariff and other things. Regular repub- lican senators are bringing the tariff bills cut of the finance committee, but are considering absenting themselves upon the tariff bill votes so that the President may have the advantage of vetoing straight democratic tariff measures. The demo- erats have agreed to press all the tariff bills. including the excise tax, to vote, but have not progressed further toward adjournment. All efforts to map out a programme for adjournment before the national conventions have so far failed in the Senate
 House Is Clear
 The House has virtually cleared it's decks. The Senate is congested so that such men as Vice President Sherman, Senators Penrose, the republican leader; Gellinger, Shoot, Hepburn and Warren, among the members of the Senate steer ing committee; Senator Dillingham;, head oe the special Loriner investigation conn nlittee; Senator Crane and others, have no expectations of Congress getting away Until after June.
 Adjournment? repeated Vice President Sherman, when asked. About the first part of August"
 IL was said today that if the Senate did not adjourn before the conventions the House would refuse to recess over the convention period. Opposition to a recess also has developed among some senators.
 The majority and minority reports of the Senate committee that investigated the election of Senator Lorimer, finally will be presented to the Senate tomor- row. The majority sustained Lorimer and the minority declared his election in- valid. No date for. vote has been fixed.
 Forecast for Week
 Senator Clarke of Wyoming, chairman of the Senate judiciary committee, ex- rects Congress to act promptly on the plan to amend the constitution to have presidents and vice presidents serve a single term of six years. This commit tee tomorrow doubtless will favorably report such a bill. Ratification by the state legislatures would be necessary and 1t would not affect present presidential candidates The committee also is con sidering a bill to advance the presidential to follow closely the cleo ti0n.
 Steel tariff speech-making, including d two days argument by Senator Shoot, will be feature this week in the Senate. Action on the Panama canal adminis- tration bill and debate on the naval ap- bill will occupy the House. Inc House judiciary committee will re- sume tomorrow the investigation of Judge Archibald of the commerce court, contin- uing all the week. The Senate may con- firm Richard F. Sloan as United States district judge for Arizona, now under sttack by the two Arizona senator's.

MUSIC DREW LARGE CROWD YESTERDAY T. c. I. Band of Ensley Rendered an Attractive
 Programme

Yesterday was an ideal spring day and a large crowd gathered in Capitol park in the afternoon to hear the T. c. I. band O. Ensley. A bright and popular pro- eramme was rendered, and was greatly al preciated by the men, women and chil- dren grouped near the bandstand. While many occupied the benches. many more sat on the grass.
 Henry Restorff, formerly of Chicago, but now of Ensley, is the conductor of the T. c. I. band. He is one of the most experienced bandmasters in the United States. Considering the fact that he has had charge of the band only a few n.Cnths, the ensemble Is remarkably good MT. Restorff conducts with spirit anc authority and it is safe to say tha, bt fore the end of the summer season the hand under his leadership will measure up with the older brass and reed organ isations in this part of the country

WHALE LASSOED OFF LONG ISLAND COAST

New York, May 19--A whale 20 feet long and weighing about two tons was lassoed off Rockaway beach, Long Island near the Averne life-saving station today by John Ehrhart.
 The monster was sighted early in the day evidently trying to free itself from a depression in the sand, having crossed small bar in pursuit of a school of fish.
 Ehrhart, who said he had punched cat tie in the west. immediately improvised a lariat of coarse rope and with a neat cast dropped the moose over the mann rnal's threshing tail. Notwithstanding the monsters struggles. the rope held him captive after it had been tied to driven pile. As the tide ebbed the whale gasped it's life away and after that it lay as an object of great curiosity to beach stroll CTS.

ADAMSON'S BILL THREATENS
 COMPLICATIONS WITH CANADA

Commissioner Franklin K. Lane of the interstate commerce commission, who approves the restriction tonight, commented upon the language of the measure which applies to any railroad company or common carrier subject to the act to regulate commerce. Both republicans and democratic mem bers of the committee approved the railroad section of the Adamson bill and mem- bers of both parties opposed it.
 Some of the opponents of the pro vision insist it violates the Hay Pauncefote treaty. which says the canal shall be free and open to the vessels of commerce and of war of all nations observing these rules on terms of entire equality
 Representative Atkinson has pre- pared an amendment, which he will offer this week, giving the interstate commerce commission the power to de- termine the question of fact as to any steamship is owned or operated or controlled by railroad with which it may compete.
