TO CLEAR LOT FOR
 APARTMENT HOUSE
Old Copeland, Solomon & Wilder In firmary Building to Be Torn
 Down Soon

The first step will be taken in the erection of a large apartment house by Maj. Edward M Tutwiler on Twen- ty-first street between Sixth avenue and Park avenue in the next few days when workmen will begin the demol- ishment of the brick building on a DOT ton of the site to be utilized for the new building.
 The brick building Is four stories high and was used for its last service by the infirmary of Drs. Copeland Sol omon and Wilder It was recently pur- chased by Major Tutwiler The build ing was erected by c. F. Enslen when Fifth and Sixth avenues were used by the best known residents of Birming- ham. It was leased to the city of Bir- mingham as g high school while the present building was being erected and after being vacated for that purpose it was sold to Dr. B. c. Copeland and used for the infirmary.
 Ii Is stated that actual work of con- struction on the proposed apartment house on that plat will not take place for some months. as tenents in other buildings to be removed have declined to vacate the property immediately. It is understood however, that after the present tenants vacate that the build ings will be demolished

Commissioner of Immigration Plans Colonization of About 5000
 Acres of Land

Montgomery, May 7.-(Special)- )-The re- moval to this state within the next few
 months of 200 families and the coloniza- ton of about 5000 acres of land is the plan which Lee Cowart, commissioner of immigration has had submitted to him by
 George w. simon, representative of the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Agency of New York city. Mir. simon
 was in Montgomery Tuesday and called on the state immigration department. The plan which MT. simon outlined to the commissioner of immigration com prises the purchase and colonization of 5000 acres of fertile land in Alabama. The Jewish society in New York wants to se-
 cure this land on the railroad in a dis trict where there is sufficient number of good schools and accessible to the larger cities of the state
 MT. Simon declared that the agency he represented is willing to pay good price for the land provided it meets all require ments, and intimated that if this tract could be secured 1t would be only a mat ter of a few months before the agency would locate 200 families in Alabama, pre-
 pared to build up flourishing colony and to discharge whatever other duties might devolve upon them as residents and citi- zens of the state.
 The representative of the New York agency secured from the department a list of the lands which were offered for sale in the state and it is probable that MT. Simon will visit these various tracts be- fore he leaves Alabama.

Woman's Graded Union Held Meeting Yesterday at First Presbyterian
 Church

Although the rain was instrumental Tn cutting down the attendance somewhat, a good crowd was present at the Founders Day exercises of the Woman's Graded union held yesterday afternoon at the First Presbyterian church.

Montgomery, May 7.-(Special)- l)-N4~l a view to drafting a suitable revenue bili for the state, to be presented to the leg islature in the event an extra session is called. Governor ONeal has determined to make a study of the tax laws of other states of the union. The governor will secure copies of the revenue laws of Ohio, Virginia and various other states whose statutes covering this subject are regarded as adequate and comprehensive and of a model character.
 The executive will probably made a study of the tax laws of at least 25 or 8 states during the next 60 days. The governor did not say that his intention to make study of the revenue laws oi other states indicated that there would be an extra session of the legislature. but 1t is a matter of common knowledge that this will be one of the principal subjects to be considered should the state law makers be called together In a special legislative session.
 Since the passage of the general rev. enue bill by the last legislature. the in- adequacy of the tax laws has been a much mooted question in official circles, and it has been generally known that should the governor call an extra session the revenue matters of the state will be one of the paramount issues before the legislature.
 The general revenue bill was one of the last measures to pass the legislature last year. Owing to the delay in the enact ment of this bill it was thought that the governor would be compelled to pro- long the session. The bill was finally passed on the last day allotted under the constitution for it's enactment, and mem berg of both houses at that time predicted

London, May T-The home rule debate was resumed in the house of commons to- day by Austen Chamberlain, who taunted ministers with the lack of conviction shown in their speeches that the present bill would settle the Irish question. The financial schemes, he declared, would most certainly break down, for England would not long tolerate substituting a semi-independent parliament sitting in Dublin.
 Far from alleviating the congestion of business at Westminster, he continued, the imperial parliament would be large ly occupied with the dangerous work ot reversing decisions reached in Dublin.
 Mir. Chamberlain predicted that if the home rule bill passed and Ulster resisted the public opinion, England would not tolerate any attempt to dragoon the north of Ireland.
