SERIOUS DAMAGE BY
STORM IN HOUSTON
Youth Killed, Houses I'm
rooted and Roads Are
Badly Washed

Dothan. June 3O.-tSpeeial. 1.-The storm
which visited this section yesterday after
neon resulted in the loss of one life and
greater damage to property than first re-
ported.
The 1S-year-old son of Archie Clark. a
we'll known farmer living a few miles
west of Dothan was Instantly killed by
lightning which struck the house near
where he was standing. Several barns
We're blown down and a house or two un-
icofed southwest of here. Two houses
were struck by lightning in Dothan, the
home of f. E. Leathers was struck and
DANA ged to the extent of about Sl00. A
negro Baptist church in the northwestern
part of town was also struck and con-
siderably damaged.
A very heavy rain fell and county roads
are reported badly washed Creeks are
out of their banks and several bridges
swept away. The corn crop suffered Sc
verely from wind in some localities

Place to ] C. Henley

Today. probably this morning, the board
dience to the instructions of the court,
will proceed with the appointment of an
oil inspector.
There are a great many candidates, and
no idea as to who will land the coveted
positions can be obtained.~,It Is generally
conceded that as many as three candi-
dates have an opportunity of winning.
Last night 1t was gathered a majority
of the members of the board we're of the
could not appoint John c. Henley. presi-
dent of the Anti-Tuberculosis society,
with the understanding that he would turn
over the proceeds of the office TO the as
sociation of which he Is the head. This
position, it is said. is upholstered by Sec
tion 7445 of the criminal code of 1907. which
! makes it criminal to>bargain away an Of
| fee or the deputation thereof.
Another reason suggested as to why the
members will not heed the request of the
association is the fear lest future candi-
dates for other positions might offer 10
split profits with churcnes and other
worthy organizations, and thus involve
those organza tions in the mire of politics.
The board, 1t seems, is determined 10
name one of the applicants and in tlls
wise follow the instructions of the court,
rather than to pursue the line of least re-
sistance.
There is much interest in the race.
Especially Is this true in view of the
fact that the successful applicant will
of necessity have to enter friendly suit
against c. H. Nesbitt, state mine inspec-
tor, in order that the supreme court
might decide as to which official has
the right to inspect oil used in Jeffer-
con sounty.
President culpepper Exum of the city
pressed with the announcement yester-
day that John c. Henley, president of
the Jefferson County Anti-Tuberculosis
association, would accept the position
of county oil inspector and turn the
entire net proceeds of the office over
to the .Anti-Tuberculosr association.
1T is a fine proposition If it can be
done, and | want to aid it, said Mr..
Exum. by that means the county could
even afford to reduce its appropriation
TO the Anti-Tuberculosis association and
still be increasing the amount of money
paid to the association by the county.
1t would be easier on the citizens and
it would be giving a great boost to one
of the most deserving institutions In
the state. The money through these
channels would do many poor sufferer
enormous good. / hope the plan goes
through"

The regular meeting of the Mer-
chants Protective association will be
held tomorrow afternoon. At this
meeting the first annual report of the
secretary will be made by ]. d. Brown
The organization of the merchants was
formed just one year ago, and Seere-
tary Brown has been a most energetic
and successful worker for everything
pertaining to the interests of the 9usi-
ness men
So marked has been the impression
made by the Ensley association that
5tt...-o- organisations Of similarinature
have been formed throughout the Bir-
mingham district. A plan is now on
foot to consolidate all of these into a
central body with headquarters in Bir-
minghaan. which plan has been en-
dorsed by the Ensley body, and it is
expected that others will follow within
the next few days.
The Ensley fire department extin-
guished a blaze on the roof of the resi-
dence occupied by II. Pfiel, 2013 Avenue
D, yesterday afternoon about o'clock.
The fire was first noticed by one of
the firemen at the station and the men
We're but a moment in reaching the
building a block away. The damage
amounted to about $40.
The Missionary society of the Ens1ey
Methodist church met at the church
yesterday afternoon. Further plans for
the presentation of "The Old Maids
Convention" to be held about the mid
die of July, engaged the attention of
the body. The proceeds of the enter
tainment will go to the fund for the
purchase of 2 pipe organ The society
will hold a market at Halls store on
Avenue E Saturday.
A series of evangelistic services will
be held in the Ensley Presbyterian
church every evening during the pres
ent week except Saturday. The Rev.

Presbyterian church, will preach at all
these services. A special meetig for
children and young people will be held
at the Wednesday evening hour This
series is the Presbyterian preparatory
service week, preceding the celebrat ton
of the Lords supper next Sabbath. All
services will begin at p. M, and the
public is invited to attend.
Lee White has offered reward of

ecumenical conference without the attend
ance of theologians. and radical change
In our banking and currency system
without reference to the opinions or
trained financiers Seems equally anomal-
Gus. There has perhaps been too great a
concentration of banking power in New
York and one or two other reserve cities,
and better distribution of funds seems
desirable but we should not seek to seri-
ously impair the financial resources or
those great commercial centers nor should
we be unmindful of the opinion Of that
element of the banking fraternity known
us the country bankers who numerically
are nine-tenths of all,the bankers In this
country, who represent one-half of our
banking resources. and whose fault, II
any, lies in a too. ioeral, rather than an
unduly restricted extension of credit.
This currency bill has, however, al
ready undergone some material changes
for the better, since it was first made
public, and the hope is generally ex-
pressed that 1t will be put in q prac-
tical and satisfactory shape before 1t
comes up for final passage.

THE action of President Wilson in
urging that Congress enact a banking
ard currency law at This session has
met with general commendation, but opin
ion Is divided as to the merits of the bill
that has been presented There Is a feel
ing among many of the leading bankers
that their opinions and experience have
not been given, sufficient consideration
and that the bill savors too much
of politics, The features most criticised
are the obligation imposed on all banks
to subscribe 20 per cent of their capital
to the stock of the proposed reserve
banks, the exclusive political control ..
the central governing board, the drastic
readjustment of reserves. and the forced
loans by one reserve bank to another. !;

ENGLISH METHODS
NOT FAVORED HERE

Chicago, Feb. 21.-Criticism of the
belligerent attitude of English suffra-
gettes for women is expressed in res
olutions signed by nearly 100 of the
leading women of the Abraham Lin
coin Center, an Independent institu-
tional church of this city, and for
warded to Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst
in London.
The resolution reads as follows:
I'VE, workers of the Abraham Lin
coin Center and friends of woman
suffrage, earnestly deplore the bellig-
erent law-defying attitude of those
sisters in England, who by their bel
ligerency, we fear, are menacing the
cause dear to them and to US. The
appeal should be to reason and not
to arms. Militancy belongs to the
past or passing regime that is mas
culine. The appeal to reason, the ar
guments of love, alone will hasten
the government based on the hearth
stone, not on the bayonet. The home,
and not the regiment, is the unit of
government that women are to help
establish"

managers intention to get in as much
grain as possible as he says that the
soil is in the best OF condition to be
properly worked.
The majority of the farmers in this
vicinity express themselves strongly
as believing that present indications
point to another prosperous year for
Gillian county. They say that the
wheat sown last fall is in just as good
condition now as the winter wheat
was at this time last year. Some
claim that the wheat has been frozen
out a little but these are few. Prepa-
rations are being made for an early
spring and the wheat-raisers will be
in the fields as soon as possible for
the acreage in winter wheat Is a lit
tie less than usual.

Klamath Falls, Or, is now sitting
up and taking notice, so to speak. be-

In the Peabody museum of Harvard
oy DR.. Charles Hallock, the famous
archaeologist, in which he says that
Cain, son of Abel, founded a city be-
fore the great flood where klamath
Falls is today.
People of that town who have for
gotten much of what they read in the
Bible, are reading the good book
again to brush up on biblical history.
SO they will be able to discuss intelli-
gently the interesting discovery that
has focused the eyes of historians on
their growing city.
Accorulng TO the conclusions of
Professor Hallock's researches, the
country around klamath Falls was
near the garden of Eden. He states
that great number of relics and i'm =
plements used by the first people on
earth have been found in that section
of the country.

NO ELEPHANTS OR
DONKEY IN PARADE

Washington, Feb. 21.-There are
to be no democratic donkeys in the
inaugural parade on March 4. This
was decided at meeting of the in
augural committee when it was asked
to pass upon the request of a Wash
ington man, who desired to lead a
donkey garnished with the horns of
bull moose and the tusks of an ele-
phant
Further, the committee decided
there should be no other animals in
the parade aside from horses. This
order was occasioned by the request
of an organization that proposed to
bring a one-eyed elephant dressed in
ridiculous fashion. The committee
felt that it would be beneath the dig
nifty of the occasion to permit bur-
lesques Of this character.

Watson. The case was ordered dis
missed.
Isaac y. Watson commenced the
suit more than year ago, alleging in
fidelity, cruelty and incompatibility,
and stating in plain English that he
had reached the age of 80 years and
desired to sever every legal tie that
bound him to the woman who had
caused him so much misery and pain
in life
Mrs. Watson came back with re-
quest for suit money, and that brought
reply from the plaintiff that he
had given her all his property ex-
cept $72 in money when he came
west and left her in North Dakota,
where she still lives She also filed
a cross suit, asking that she be grant
ed a decree of divorce. In dismissing
the case from the docket, Judge Gal
loway stated that both of them were
too old and they had lived together
and apart as man and wife for so
many years that neither of them was
entitled to a divorce.
