NORWOOD MAN ON
 NEED FOR LIGHTS Replies to Weatherly's Re- cent Statement About
 Light Situation
To the Editor of The Age-Herald

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Replying to Mir. Weatherlys statement In The Age-Herald of last Friday where tive to the light question in Birmingham In the first place. he stated there have been 122 new lights installed in the city. but fails to say how many of these 122 lights were taken from other parts of the city and installed elsewhere and counted as new lights A number of these so-called lights were taken from the Nor wood distlct where they were in urgent need.
 During the last several months. several robberes have been committed in the Norwood district. principally on account of the place being insufficently lighted. Three attempts were made to burglarize the writer's home during his absence from the city very recently. Several of the neghbors fell victims to these thugs and were relieved of their clothing, watches and a small amount of money
 MT Weatherly strongly intimated that one portion of Norwood where com pany Is developing a tract of territory. Is not populated at the present time and lidl tne ust or tuuBsttUS m that IOcdntN would be absurd. There are % to 20 beautiful homes in this so-called vacant territory where these property, holders are striving to get place of their own for old age and where they have invested approximately from sl0o.oO0 to sl500Oo in labor and material alone. These homes are nearly all occupied by their owners. Does MT. Weatherly know of better place in Birmingham for thugs and in- cendiaries to operate than just the place where these lights have been removed? !? He further says he has put lights in the alleys Why put lights In alleys when the streets are so badly in need of them?
 Mfr. Weatherly further said when the good people of Norwood petltioned for lights on 14th avenue and 30th street he sent special officer to make thorough whether new lights were necessary. This special officer was sure ly dreaming when he made an adverse report. One thing is certain. the citizens of Norwood did not get an opportunity to express thelr views on the lighting aues- ton. Yours truly. C. H. KRAUsS.

 Catholic Women

Louisville Ky, August 20-Limited di- vorce vas frowned upon by the American Federation of Catholic societies, when later today the eleventh annual conven- ton, in session here, adopted a resolution getting forth that the delegates "unflinch- insly hold to the uncompromising atti- tude of the Catholic church in opposition to divorce on whatever grounds.
 The resolution introduced earlier in the day by the law committee, proposed that the federation favor a divorce from bed and board re-parrage of neither party to be permitted though division of prop erty follow
 The snti-divorce declaration was pre- sented by the resolutions commit ttee, the report of which was adopted. Other reso- lutions pledge the federation c. work for amelioration of the conditions of4 work and living of the aboring man; to fight the white slave traffic, and insists that all schools contributing to good citizen snip are entitled to equal spport from the state. They protest against intro duction of Bible reading into the public schools and note the work of the St. Lukes Guild, especially in New Orleans and Boston.
 Formation in the course of the year of national rederatlon or Catholc women. practically was assured today. Though a committee appointed last year to look into the proposal reported that the sentiment of the women's organizations opposed separation from the federation. with which many women's societies are affili- a;ed. the committee expressed willingness to ab'de by the will of the federation Committees will be named tomorrow to get the movement into shape for probable organization when the federation meets nexs summer, probably at Milwaukee.
 Tonight at mass meeting at the First regiment armory, Archbishop Bonzano was heard in a brief address of greeting. Among other speakers were the Rev. J. H. Dorsey, one of the few negro clergymen Of the church, and Indian Chief Hollow Horn. Chief Hollow Horns message was translated by the Rev.

 way Department

TAFT RESOLUTION IS TURNED DOWN Senate Committee Fails to Report on Presidents
 Request

Washington, August 20.-The Panama joint resolution asked for by President Taft yesterday in a special message to Congress to make clear the rights Of foreign ship owners to carry into Ameri- can courts the question of free tolls in the Panama canal, was turned down late today by the Senate committee on inter- oceanic eapals by vote of to g. the committee determined not to report the resolution.
 This is taken by leaders to mean that there will be no resolution passed sup plemsntary to the Panama canal bill which now lies on the Presidents table awaiting his signature The resolution has not as yet been formally introduced in either House but the Senate commit tee took a direct vote on the proposal Nas embodied in the Presidents message.
 The request of the President was for a special law that would permit the United states courts % determine wheth- CT the Panama canal bill. in giving free tolls to American cosstwise vessels, vio- lated those sections of the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty with Great Britain. which guarantee equal treatment to the ships of all nations.
 All of the democrats of the Senate com mittee voted against the proposed resolu- ton with the exception of Senator Thorn ton of Louisiana. The vote stood:
 For the resolution: Chairman Brande- gee, Senators Perkins, Page. Jones. Town send and Thornton.
 Against the resolution: Senators Borah, Crawford, Bristow. Simmons, Johnston of Alabama, Percy, Chiffon and O'0orman.
 Those who voted against the resolution express the belief that the President would not veto the bill now before him. even if the supplementary resolution is not voted on by Congress This argu- ment was based on the statement in his message that he did not consider the bill a violation of treaty rights with other nations.
