for the past two years in Washington,
where he is the representative of the

Yesterday in Birmingham, and returned
last night to the capital.
Mr.. James at the present time Is in

amounts only TO $500.
This bill will become law believe.
stated Mr.. James ut has already passed
the House. and is now awaiting its time
to 20 through the Senate. The new bill
will increase the pay OF those entering
the service from $500 to $500. and will af-
feet many thousand men throughout the
United States.
..All Alabamians in Washintoen, he
continued, are hopeful that Senator
Bankhead will accept the committee OF
postoffices and post roads He has the
option of this committee or the public
lands committee. The former is so much
the more important that all of us are
trying to persuade the senator to ac-

Mr.. James said that whereas everybody
was naturally deeply Interested in the
Inauguration, many were more interester
in equipping the Panama canal for service
IN time of war.
This will be an important natter h.
said. "and 1t is probable that immedi
ately following the Inauguration a com
mittee of congressman and senators vii
be sent to the canal. In all probability
one of the senators to go will be Senator

Owing to a strong demand from va
rious sources T. II. Motion announced
yesterday that the large apartment house
or roomine house which he had planned
to erect at the corner Of Fifth avenue
and Twentieth street had been abandoned
and in its place ON the same site would
be erected an eight story commercial
hotel to cost approximately s2oo,0Oo.,
The apartment house was to have been
six stories high and would have cost
about $4,000. The excavations for the
apartment house and the cement foun-
dation work, which have been under way
for month or two, will be used for
the hotel, with the exception that the
basement will be made to extend under
the entire length. For the apartment
house the basement was to have ex-
tended under only one half of the build
ing. The hotel will contain 147 rooms.
