|MPROVEMENTSBY
PORTER CO.
Will Expend $4,000 in Re-
arranging Interior of
the Store

In order to provide facilities to handle a
line of women and girls footwear, the
Porter Clothing company will expend s2v,-
600 remodeling the company's store on
First avenue. This announcement was
made yesterday by H. j. Porter, president
of the company.
Among the improvements announced by
the Porter company are some that will add
to the already well understood position of
that store as being one of the best and
most serviceabe in this country.
| In order to utilize all space possible 1t
is announced that the present light shafts
in the center of the building will be COW
cred with glass, giving the same amount
of light downstairs and providing there
by additional area for the second floor.
The second floor will be devoted exclusive
Iy to the shoe department, boys clothing
and automobile toggery. Mr.. Porter said
Yesterday that he was determined to
make his store unequalled in this section
for elegance and appointment.
The improvements include the lowering
of the present display windows opening
on First avenue, so that one walking by
the store can see without distractions the
entire first floor. That will call for the
| removal of the elevator shaft from it's
present location to the side. The improve
rents will be in oak. and it was asserted
| Yesterday that no shop in the south will
be better arranged when the work is CON-
peted.
| The Porter Clothing company recently
| Installed very costly fixtures which gave
the store the sobriquet of THE Palace OF
Mirrors"
Mr.. Porter sold his establishment in Au-
gusta some time ago to devote his entire
attention to the Birmingham store.
The improvements contemplated will be
handled by William Leslie Welton. thu
well known architect.

that Mississippi would be given the

that as a result an Alabamian might

The owners of a famous line of depart
Earle building, to be erected on First ave-
nue., now the site of a two-story build
ing, according to rumors heard yester-
day
That the department store owners had
practically determined to open a branch
here and participate in the rapid growth
of this community is generally believed
Whether it will be the Claflin line of
stores the Wanamaker other firms,
could not be ascertained yesterday. 1t is
fact. however. that the tenant for the
new building is an outside store rank
ing with the Clafiin, Wanamaker and Mar
shall Field type of concerns.
The rumor as to the occupancy of the
building by well known department
house was heard two weeks ago. How
ever members of the firm of Earle Bros,
will not make any statement. 1t is de
clared that Earle Bros, will not occupy
the building. 1t is asserted that they
will. upon abandoning their retail line
devote all attention to the wholesale busi-
ness at First avenue and Eighteenth
street.
They propose to erect a most hand
some and commodious structure on the
present retail site. 1t will have mez-
canine floors. The basement will be large
roomy, light and 10 feet deep or more
over head will be the patented street
walk lighters used now at all the sky
scraper corners for basement illumina-
ton. The store will have two passen-
ger elevators. 1t will have modern fire
protection. The new building will be five
stories high, 80 feet by 140 feet opening
onto an alley.
1t was asserted yesterday by wei
known merchant that Earle Bros, are fan
too cautious to start such a venture un.

Samuel Earle. representing the Earle es
tate, which will build the building, is ir

building. His brother, Paul Earle, junio]
member of the firm, had nothing yester.
day to say except that there was ne
announcement yet to be made in connec.
tion with the tenant for the unusually
handsome structure to go up on First
avenue.
Representatives it is asserted of a wei
known firm operating department stores
in many southern cities were here a few
days ago comforting with Earle Bros.

In this city an attempt was made to
organize street car union some four or
five years ago which was frowned upon
by the street railway management and
the strike was broken by imported work
men.
No confirmation or denial of the ex-
istence of the proposed plan to strike was
obtainable last night from street railway
employees.
Reports were also IN circulation in Blr-

not be traced to their source nor verified
in any way. over the long distance tele-

bANKHEAD SAYS he
HAS NOT MET THE
|NS|D|OUS LOBBY
Says He Is So Strong for
the Underwood Bill That
Nothing Could Change
Him Anyway

That there is nothing in President
lobby, and that it is a political move
to prevent attacks on the tariff bill,
was the gist of n statement made in
Birmingham yesterday afternoon by
Senator John H. Bankhead.
While he did not say as much, II
is evident from remarks of the SEN
ator that he thinks Wilson'S move an
unnecessary reflection against the hon.
esty of members of the Senate.
Il do not believe" he said, that
there is an fnsidious lobby at work in
Washington. I knew nothing of the
existence of one. Inasmuch, however,
as l announced in the very beginning
that / stood flatfooted in favor of the
Underwood bill and that there was
not chance of my changing my mind,
the insidious' lobby has not deemed
it wise to tackle me.
II think the probe of the President
is In measure a reflection against the
senators. Many people believe at the
present time that every man in office
is crook. The probe will tend to
accentuate that belief"
The senator is en- route to Wash
ington. He stated that he has wired
that he would be ready to take the
stand Monday and give testimony con-
cerning the alleged existence of a lob
BY His testimony will be to the eff
fect that he is not aware of any lobby
of an fnsidious' character.
Senator Bankhead repeated the state
ment published in The Age Herald
some days ago to the effect that the
Senate would pass the Underwood bill.
Il expect the committee to report the
Dill by June Is. If we vote on the
measure by August 1 l will be de-
