HOUSE PASSES TWO.
FIF1HS JURY BILL
Confined from first pass.>

tition. II the legislature fails to pass
the act represented, an additional
three per cent of the voters may by
petition have this act as presented, or
as amended by the legislature, pre-
scented at the next special or general
election. . ....<. a.. r
If the legislature should pass the
act in an amended form, 1t shall be
subject to the referendum. Should
the legislature pass the bill as amend
ed, and the people also pass version
of the law, the law passed by the
people shall become the law Of the
state to the exclusion Of the legisla-
tive act. -
Acts adopted by referendum, or ap-
proved by referendum, shall not be
subject to veto by the governor nor
to appeal or amendment except by
two thirds vote OF all the members OF
each branch OF the legislature. r."
1t will require ten per cent Of the
voters to present a constitutional
amendment. It does not go to the
legislature, but directly before the
people. Sixty per cent of the electors
voting: thereon are required to adopt
it. In the case of laws, only ma
jority is required.
All measures except laws providing
for tax levies and appropriations for
current expenses are SUBJECT to refer
endum on petition of six per cent OF
the voters. Emergency measures, de-
clared SO in a preamble approved by
three ourths of the members of each
house, may go into effect at once but
they would be repealed by referen-
dunn and an adverse vote by the peo-
pie. Other legislative measures are
not permitted to go into effect until
ninety days after the adjournment OF
the legislature.
Where a referendum is called for
and the measure approved, it goes
into effect thirty days after approval.
Percentages are based on the vote for
governor.
Women Voice Protest.
Members of the legislature are be-
ing bombarded by letters from women
protesting against woman suffrage,
and arguing the case. In some cases
Identical letters are signed by diff
ferent women and mailed separately.
In other cases women join in signing
the same letter.
The burden of the argument is
that the women do not want the bal
lot and that it would be placing dut-
les and burdens upon them.
The house yesterday, by unanim-
Gus vote, acceded to the request of
the senate that the Moonan resolu-
ton, asking for joint committee to
work out a plan of reorganization of
state departments, be recalled from
committee and returned.

By JONATHAN WINFIELD

Washington, May 17.-Visitors to Washington-and Washington these days means the White House for that is one point of interest that no tour jst ever overlooks during the early doys of a new administration-hav noted that a number of spruce looking men, slightly worried in appearance but withal very jaunty and full of that which is known a ''pep," collect in the anteroom of the Executive Or fees every Monday morning and Thursday afternoon. At ten o'clock on the former day and at three o'clock on the latter the men disappear with l in the inner sanctums of the White l House, to reappear about fifteen or l twenty minutes later and hurry off. 1 apparently have completed their i business.
 Did they but know it these men are 1 the members of President Wilson's newspaper cabinet" with whom he is wont to confer twice q week for mu- tual benefit.
 The newspaper men are anxious. most anxious to obtain news of what is going on in the White House and partcularly what the President in tends to do and to get some line on the state of mind of the Chief Execu- tive. Also the President is anxious to discover, through the representatives of the press what the attitude of the country is on certain subjects and to determine, through the words dropp- ed by the correspondents, what he ought to do with respect to many of the thounsands- rules of eti- quette in Washington with which he is still ignorant.

MAY PASS, SHIP THROUGH
PANAMA CANAL THIS YEAR

THE opening of the Panama canal
for the passage of vessels has always
been predicted on the question of slides
and the completion of the lock gates
The present schedule contemplates ad-
mitting the water into Culebra cut
early in October and the completion OF
one flight of locks at either end Of
tie canal by that same date The
passage of boats then depends upon The
condition of the slides. 1t is hoped that
we will be able to pass a ship before
the close of the year and, if this can
be accomplished, the Fran will have
no difficulty in making the transit OF
the canal and every facility will be Of
fered for its doing so. No assurance
however, can be given in the matter
at this time
is harped ON day in and day out. Not
enough is ever said in this community
OF criminal carelessness on the part of
the employers, mine operators, mine
superintendents. sub contractors and
mine foremen-those who are primarily
responsible for such defects in ways
ana works as often result in whole
sale slaughter of miners"
Miss Armes pointed out that the first
beginning of the first aid movement
was by the miners themselves. She
sketched the formation of the first
corps at Pratt No. 2 division of the
Tennessee company and told of how
the work had been spread She also
1ecounted the terrible sufferings tha.
men injured in the mines had once un-
dergone ON account of the lack of prop
er hospital and medical facilities.
In conclusion Miss Armes spoke high
ly In praise of the equipment that en-
ables man to fight the fires, the
poisons, all the savage elements of the
subterranean world and grapple with
death itself and be victorious.
Morning Session
The congress will reconvene this
morning at 10 o'clock for the discus
sion of Health and Recreation" with

Sharp criticism by DIR. Wilbur l.. Cressy,
chief statistician of the bureau of census.
Of the methods used in gathering vital
statistics of the state featured the open
ing session of the Alabama Sociological
congress, which convened last night at s
OF clock at the city hall armory.
DR.. Cressy declared that the laws of
the state covering this department was
unwieldy and not properly enforced; that
even if properly enforced would not give
satisfactory results.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-04-23
Recommendations Submitted


DIR. Wilbur then gave some death
ates as reported by the census of 1910
for Alabama counties and showed that
only the counties which contained the
cities of Birmingham, Montgomery and
Mobile were anywhere near correct
He closed his paper with the following
recommendations for the betterment of
present conditions in Alabama:
II. By the adoption and enforcement
in Alabama as 1t does in Virginia, Ken
lucky and Mississippi
80 BY amendment of the present
state law so that it will comply with
the essential requirements of effective
registration including the compulsory
burial permits.
"3. BY providing for burial permits
in municipalities of 500 population
with view to the extension of this
requirement to the entire state
Hearty applause marked the conclu-
sion of DR.. Cressys address and Mr.
Harding, who presided at the night
session, introduced Miss Ethel Armes
who talked on mine rescue work in
Alabama.
Miss Armes' Address
"If the mineral wealth of Alabama
has proven to be the glory of our
state" said Miss Armes, ''it has also
been the source of countless tragedies..
Criminal carelessness, negligence and
ignorance on the part of the employees
