Showers were also reported along the northern side of the lakes and in the St. Lawrense valley and some of the middle Atlantic states; also due to the rising pressure and cool change taking place in those ports.
 With the exception of the regions mentioned, clear and cool weather was general nearly everywhere, the only stations reporting high temperatures were San Diego, California and Tampa, at which places the mercury reached 90 degrees today.
 The clear skies brought slight rise in the temeprature on the plains, but no rapid warming up is expected in Birmingham Monday. Fair weather is indicated for this section Monday and probably Tuesday. Summary of observations made at United States weather bureau stations, October IS, 1912:

TEN YEARS OF ALABAMA
 1865-1874
No. 57-Chairman James H. Clanton
1865-1874

strength of feeling surpassed now any effort that had been ever heard from him. In reply to the motion to make rec ord of the occasion, Judge Busteed rose and said: 'The deceased was my personal friend, and his loss my personal bereave- ment. James H. Clanton was no ordi- nary man. In all his relation to society he was distinguished. Rugged honesty, peerless bravery, unfaltering loyalty, fidelity to friends, generosity to foes were the constituent elements of his be- ing. He was full of the qualities that make men good, and of his failings let it be said, they leaned to virtues side It is sad to think his voice will never more be heard-inexpressibly sadl
 Sweet in manners, fair in form,
 Soft in temper, fierce in fight;
 Lawyer nobler, warrior braver,
 Never shall behold the light
 The governors annual message appealed to legislature Ito render a just tribute to his memory and an adequate compen- sation to his family"
 The house appointed special committee to prepare appropriate proceedings in honor of the illus trious deceased patriot. The best ora tors, Lowe, Oates, Semmes, Crooks, Smith. Duskip delivered deeply pathetic actresses. Appeal was fnaue 10 the leg- isature to adopt the minor children of the noble public servant as its own. When the biennial convention of the dem- ocratic and conservative party met July 19, 1872, resolutions of exalted apprecia- tion were passed in honor of his mem ory.
 James H. Clanton organized the Mont gomery Mounted Rifles for the Confeder- ate army at the outset of the war. He had no military education or experience. He was a tall man, with blue eyes, red hair and red beard, worn full. He was educated at the University of Alabama. He was of the whig party and was a Bell and Everett elector for Alabama. He was promoted from captain to colo nel to brigadier general and major gen. eral. His service was With the cavalry only. Always anxious for battle, always in fine health and full of energy, he did not rise in the army as his merits would seem to justify. Had he been through four years of discipline at West Point in his youth. his native martial instinct must have been sensibly prepared for the field of his Confederate service. w JOHN WITHERSPOON DUBOSE.

RIPARIAN RIGHTS ON WATER FRONT TO
Be TESTED BY HARBOR commission

Riparian rights along the harbor
frontage is a question which has never
been brought before the courts, accord
ing to Chairman Campbell Of the harbor
commission, but the issue will be taken
before the judges presently to deter
mine whether Allen & Robinson have
any rights to the land where their lum-
Der is now discharged from sailing
vessels.
Obeying request of the board Har-
bormaster Foster rendered bill of
$3.50 against the schooner M. Turner,
which finished discharging cargo of
lumber last week at the Allen s. Robin
son wharf. The captain notified the
harbormaster that he had paid the
wharfage fees to Allen & Robinson.
The question of whether the fee should
have been paid direct to the Territory
will now be taken up by the attorney
general, to determine whether the
frontage in question is owned and con-
trolled by Allen & Robinson, or by the
Territory.

The whole proposition was turned
down by the land office, on the ground
that the applicants had not in fact
any real intention of settling ON the

Weird Tales Come Floating Back
Here from the Main
land Papers.

just listen to this tale-of the wonder
full stroke of business of New York
err collar button drummer in Hawaii,
which is as upto1date as the Harlem
man s own town.
! The New York Harlem Home News
of March l gave the following story
of one of its citizens to its readers:
About four years ago George r. Co.
bell, of this city, became angry with
an obstreperous collar button. In the
heat of temper he devised button
exceedingly obedient to its owner. He
had it patented and gave an order for
several thousand to be made. The in
ventor then decided that perhaps the
trouble he had experienced with the
button was prevalent in other parts of
the world, 50 he decided to travel and
see.
Accompanied by his wife and young
child, he left his home, in Seventh Ave.
near l4Oth St., and juorneyed west.
ward. He started on a shoestring and
ton of collar buttons, and earned
enough money to take him from town
to town, and finally landed in Seattle
with several hundred dollars above his
original investment. There the stork
visited Mrs. Cobell, and after she was
able to travel Cobell took her. and the
two children to Honolulu, where the
collar button demand was great.
After studding the Hawaiian Islands
with his wares Cobeil went to Tanning
Island, where a real man eating poten-
tate met him and bought his entire
stock. The cannibal chief had had
trouble with some of his tribe and at
night an attack was made upon his
life. Fortunately, one of the women of
the camp had made breast plate of
collar buttons for the chief and this
DETECTED spear that was hurled at
him with murderous intent. His sab
sequent gratitude to the button man
was boundless.
Here's another in the Boston Morn
ing Globe of March /:
In certain parts of the Hawaiian Is
lands the natives dive in the ocean for
their frewood. The wood is brought
down from the uplands by freshets that
follow heavy rains. Much of the is.
land timber is so heavy it will prompt

times whole tree trunks are carried
along by the freshets and by the time
they reach the ocean they are general

ed during the past two weeks and con-
firm grants to the Robinson Estate and
to the Allen, Estate of lands adjoining
the frontage.
The ownership of the Allen & Robin
son wharf frontage is dovetailed with
the proposed condemnation of certain
portion of the ga & RI lumber yard.
Superintendent Campbell will interview
the executors of the S. G. Allen Estate
and also those of the Robinson Estate
to ascertain what price they will put
upon the land wanted.
The commissioners wish to test the
feeling of the mercantile community
as to the proposed sale of Honolulu
Hale,
The commissioners propose to have
the money from this sale applied to the
purchase of the Allen & Robinson prop
erty and the McChesney block, both
needed if the greater harbor develop
ment plan is adopted. The commission
will place this matter in the hands of
the chamber of commerce and mer-
chants association. If the business
community feels that the sale of Homo
lulu Hale would be Offset by the ad.
vantages growing out of the develop
meat of the harbor, the commission will
strongly recommend to the Governor
that the sale be made.

sioners win probably be bnsed ON two
grounds. Tho frst will be the allena
ton that az least one Of the commits
sinners. namely Carter, and possibly
two, the other being Horner, are non.
residents of this county. The directory
gives his Office and his residence ms
Honolulu. He is not registered on this
island, and, presumably, votes in Homo.
lulu. The latter is regarded by some
attorneys here as almost prima faeie
proof of his non-residence. In the case
of Horner the question is less definite,
as there was until few weeks ago
not the slightest doubt about his being
resident of this island. The report
has, however, reached the supervisors,
that since Horner was ousted from the
control of the Kukaiau plantation he
has moved to Honolulu and has taken
up his residence in that city
The law creating the various road
commissions rs very plain on the ques.
ton of residence. 1t says that the
members of the commissions shall be
the superintendent of public works, the
chairman of the board of supervisors
and ''three other persons, appointed by
the Governor, who are residents of the
county or city and county in which
such work is to be performed
The point is that in case Carter and
Horner, or either of them, should be
found to have been illegally appointed,
much of the work of the commission
would be illegal.
The other point on which.the injunc.
zion may be based is the contention
that the commission is extravagal thy
spending funds of the public. This
ground is not generally considered as
good as the former one.

most of this wood inshore, and when
this happens the natives turn out in
force to collect it. The men dive and
bring the wood to the surface and the
women and children aid in hauling it
ashore.
The st, Louis Globe-D Democrat of the
same date adds novelty to the above with
the following story about clothing for
"ns cannibals'':
Announcement was made yesterday
at meeting of the st. Louis Sales
Managers Association at the Mercan-
tile Club that five Chinese mercantile
firms in Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands,
had given orders for st. Louis made
clothing. j. j. Marx informed mem
bers present of the order, which is
mainly for knickerbocker trousers.

NIT the following COMMUNICATIONS:
First. At the first opportunity the
legislature should provide for the sewer
department independent of the water
department as it is unjust to tax water
consumers for the maintenance of the
sewer department.
"Second. All public institutions and
parks, etc, should pay the water de.
partment for all water used as it is
manifestly unfair that water users
should in effect be taxed for water so
used instead of providing for same out
of general appropriations.
''Third. Meters should be installed
throughout the city as the only ap-
parent fair basis upon which to charge
consumers for water actually used.
fFourth. The rate to all shipping
should be uniform and should not ex-
eeed the rate to city consumers, pins
