Weather Conditions

Birmingham, March II. p' m.-An
area of high barometer has occupied the
central portion of the country since Mon
day night, moving from the middle plains
states to the Ohio valley, and the central
lake region. 1t has caused general
change from rain to fair weather, to-
gether with slight rise in temperature
over almost the entire Mississippi basin.
Over the Atlantic slope, however, rain
has continued from Florida TO Maine.
An area of low pressure overlies the
intermountain plateau on tonight's map,
causing rain over the southwestern states
and Texas and snow throughout North
Dakota and Minnesota. 1t has also
caused a general rise in temperatures
over the western half of the, country dur

NEGRO WOMEN TO
AID HOME FOR AGED
Club Composed of Negro
Teachers to Give Bazaar
This Week

'"rhe Climbers" a negro womens club.
composed of the negro teachers In the
public schools of the city, will give a
bazar Friday and Saturday on Seven
teenth street between Third and Fourth
avenues. the proceeds of which will go
to the lifting of the $4,000 mortgage on
the Home for Aged and Destitute Ne
grces, how being maintained in Gray
mont.
The mortgage on this institution is
about to be foreclosed and the Federation
of Colored Womens Clubs. composed of
some 40 clubs in all parts of Alabama,
has undertaken to pay it off and save
the property.
Mrs. ]. B. Reid, well known as head
of the woman's department of the Ala
bama state fair, and a philanthropic
worker of the city, has taken an in
terest in the cause of the negro women
and stated yesterday that she gave it her
unqualified Endorsement. Mrs. Reid, Mrs.
C. p. Orr and Mrs. Searight have vis-
tied the home for negroes in question and
she states it is very deserving insti-
tuition.
LIE utSfO WOIlleH WISH TO extend an
invitation to all the white women's clubs
OF the city or district to send represen-
tatives or delegates to this bazar and
to the home and see what the negroes
are doing.
This federation of negro women 8
clubs" said Mrs. Reid yesterday, .is the
organization that erected and maintained
the Negro Boys reformatory at Mt Meigs
until the worth and need Of the institu.
tion became SO apparent that it was taken
over by the state. That institution off
their hands, they have now taken in
charge the home out at Graymont, where
the aged and destitute members of their
race are cared for and they are irving
to pay off the large mortgage which is
threatening the place.
II have visited this place and it is a
very worthy and we'll managed institu.
tion. They have 16 rooms and some
thing that white people have not got vet
in Birmingham, that is q we'll equipped
and well managed hospital for imbecile
negro children. At this institution the
negroes take care of their destitute and
unfortunate just as we do at similar in
stitutions. They have never asked for
tpublic aims and are not doing so now.
THE bazar they are going to give will
be an industrial bazar and they will sell
household goods of all homemade kinds
home cooked food and such things. This
is being done under the auspices of The
Climbers, which Is composed of 10 negro
school teachers of the city. All the other
clubs of the federation in all parts of

CASE IN SPECIYL SESSION

auguration of President Wilson, and
has just returned to Alabama.
There has been much discussion rel
ative to the case against Judge Lane.
AS is known, it was rumored sometime
ago that the supreme court stood to
8 against him. 1t was also rumored
that ambitious citizens were already
prepared to precipitate themselves into
fight for the plum when Lane re-
tired. As matter of fact, certain
gentlemen have spoken to one of the
commissioners relative to acquiring the
job. Investigation, however, brought
out the fact that the opinion during the
time of the discussion, had not been
written.
Without arguing or considering the
legal points involved, many lawyers
advance the prediction that Judge
Lanes position will be sustained.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-03-12

The call issued for special session
of the supreme court for Monday caused
more interest in Birmingham than
would ordinarily have been caused sim
ply on account of the fact that petit
tions for new trials will be argued.
For it is considered barely possible that
the decision in the custer proceedings
against Judge A. o. Lane, commits
sioner of Birmingham, will be rendered.
This case, appealed from the city
court, went up some weeks ago, and
was given an advanced position on the
calendar Despite that fact, and the
fact that it Is considered to be mat
ter of grave Importance, the supreme
court has found it necessary to delay.
Judge deGraffenreid was assigned the
duty of writing the opinion, and it is
generally thought that he has COM

one to disturb the new pavement on Nine

similar to the action taken in reference
to Twentieth street and First avenue. 1t
is the plan of the city to have all work
necessary done before the wood BLOCKS

The action it is expected, will cause
many property owners to repair piping

them would be an added expense and
they would contest the right of the city
to do that. The commissioners asked
Captain Boyd. city attorney, about that,
and he was of the opinion that the mat
ter was purely one of benefits. The city
cannot keep the case from going to court,
it is said and it is expected that such
action will be taken soon.
The sidewalks are to be made two feet
