Polo for Women.

EnglishWomen were yer splendid
horseWomen, so II wonders why it
has been left to American women to
be first in the field with polo for
women. Many a hard match has been
played IN the United States during
the last twelve months by mixed
men captained by one woman, and by
women's teams. As one thinks of the
wonderful pluck of our women here
who ride to hounds, their dash and
enthusiasm, 1t naturally occurs to one
that they are born for polo If ever
women were.-London Daily Mail.

ENTIRELY A PRIVATE AFFAIR
Group Of Surveyors Really Had No
Right to "Peek" at Couple Far
Out on the Lake.

Far out on Lake Erie, nearly a mile
from E~dgewater park beach, there
was a speck Of black on the water.
Nearer shore there were other and
larger specks. Close in the specks be-
came boats, containing fishermen and
other people. There must have been
a hundred, all told.
On the hill that borders the park
beach a party OF city engineers were
at work.
Resting for a moment, an engineer
looked out over the lake. He saw the
farthest tiny speck.
II wonder what that boat Is doing
way out there he unused. And he re-
marked to the others about him.
So they brought one OF those things
surveyors look through to ascertain
distance and s%traighten a line. They
trained it OF the speck, and, taking
turns at looking, they saw as plainly
as il the boat rested only a few hun
dred feet away,
A man wearing a white shirt and q
girl wearing q white waist were In
that boat. They sat together on the
center seat. An arm Of each embraced
the other.
A stir. The girl used her other arm
to reach into the mans pocket. She
extracted a cigarette, lighted 1t, and
then blew smoke in the mans face.
"Oh, let's quit and be gentlemen"
said the surveyors. They wouldn't
enjoy it at all If they knew somebody
was looking."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Next Sunday

The citizens of Birmingham will i'm
mediately begin an active campaign to
secure approximately 81 ,00o. 900 for the
purpose of bringing TO this city the
university to be established by the
southern Methodist church.
Paschal G. Shook. president of the
Chamber of Commerce. was yesterday
named chairman of a central commits
tee. which Will have the direction OF
about 10 subcommittees In the work OF
securing the needed amount. II is prob
able that the city will be divided into
10 districts, a chairman appointed for
each district and workers named to
make "A house to house canvass for the
funds.
At the citizens mass meeting, held
at the Chamber of Commerce building
at $3.50 o'clock yesterday morning, Il
was pointed out that the securing for
Birmingham of the Methodist untver-
sity was not "a UNCONVENTIONAL ,irsatieF,
but matter of vital interest TO every
man, woman and child within the con-
fines of Birmingham and Jefferson
county.
Bessemer probably VIII be asked to
join with Birmingham in its effort to
secure the location of the university
here. 1t is planned to enlist the ac-
tive interest of every minister in the
county and of every lay member of all
churches. 1t was pointed out at the
meeting yesterday that the location
here of a great university would he
of -inestimable value to the farmers
well as to the citizens of the city and
II is hoped that the residents of the
rural districts will feel an interest in
securing 1t.
Will Not BE eneminational
Also at the meeting yesterday 1t WAS
emphasized that while the Methodist de-
nomination. would have control of the
university, IL would be nonsectarian In
its teachings, except, of course, in the
theological branches of the curriculum.
r. S. Munger again made the state
ment that in his opinion the launching OF
| the movement TO secure the university
would unite Methodism In Alabama and
| said that he believed those who had con-
tributed to the support of Birmingham
college gladly would increase the amounts
of their subscription IL the university
could be secured.
1t has been estimated that the Bir-
mingham college ownngs. which have
as a nucleus for the university, worth
something like $4,000. The estimated
sum to be secured TO help in locating the

MERCHANTS MAKE
VIGOROUS PROTEST
ON ASSESSMENTS
Notices Sent Out Telling
Them They Must Assess
Solvent Credits for
Taxation

There viii be held either this after
executive committee of the Board of
Trade and other interested parties to
discuss the notice sent out from the
tax collectors office in regard to back
taxes on solvent credits for the last
five years. 1t Is the intention of the
merchants vigorously to fight the pro-
posed levy for back taxes, said levy
being based upon law which the mer-
chants state is admittedly unconstitu-
tional.
President Robert w Ewing of the
Boad of Trade, when asked last night
when the Board of Trade would meet,
said that 1t was probable the execu-
tive committee of the board would meet
with others interested and form plans
for :ghting the matter. Attorney r. v.
Evans of the board has been instructed
by President Ewing to Investigate the
matter and the merchants in the Board
of Trade say they will resort to every
means to escape the unjust assess
ment."
The notice sent out from the tax col
itctoi . OlAitt 9tHltludS icahS aS lVi
lows:
Il find that you have not assessed
your solvent credits for the years 1909
10-11-12-13-14 Take notice that unless
the same Is assessed within 10 days
from date, l will proceed to make an
escape assessment against you on in
formation, with all penalties directed
by law. At the trial of which cause tho
state will demand the production of
your books in court. Very truly,
u. " ALLEN,
Tax Commissioner"
The merchants state that the notice
has the appearance of an effort to
place more taxes upon the merchants
and assert that 1t is very queer" that
the tax commissioner has overlook ed
these assessments for six years, and
is now so anxious to have them turned
in to his office. 1t Is claimed that the
law under which the back tax commits
sioner's notice was sent out is about 20
years old and that IT is admittedly un-
constitutional, on the grounds of dou-
BILE taxation. The merchants, however,
do not care to be drawn into expensive
and unnecessary litigation and the
meeting of the Board of Trade today
or tomorrow will try and arrive at a
satisfactory conclusion.

Both Agree as to Value of Pending
Legislation, But Differ Re-
garding Need for
ny HUGH w. ROBERTS

The date of the probable adjournment
of Congress is entirely speculative. Pres
ldent Wilson seems to be determined
to keep the lawmakers ION the job" un-
til the beginning of Indian summer The
lawmakers are very ANXIOUS to adjourn.
There is open grumblng though no open
rebellion.
Oscar W. Underwood, leader of the
party. conferred with the President last
Friday. He declared that in his opinion
Congress should be adjourned immedi-
ately following the passage of the APP
preparation bill. The President told Mr..
Underwood that in his opinion the en-
tire legislative programme should be CON
cluded before adjournment. And thus the
two. differing but in perfect good HUI
NOR. parted.
No conclusion was reached. When the
appropriation bill is enacted into law
Mr.. Underwood and the President by
agreement will confer again. 1t viii then
be definitely decided whether or not DEM
ocratic congressman win have an oppor-
tunity to prepare their fences against
the fall elections, or whether they will
be held in Washington until the trust
legislation is accomplished.
Congressman Are Uneasy
There is no difference of opinion re-
garding trust legislation between the
President and democratic congressman.
The latter are of the opinion that they
should be permitted TO go home and pre-
pare for the fights the results of which
will determine the length of their service
In the House. They hold that every pre-
caution should be taken lest history re-
peat itself. They point to the fact that
in the Fffty-third Congress democrarv'
House was wiped off the face of the
earth, and that in the beginning of the
Fifty-fourth Congress. there were only Si
democrats occupying seats.
Mr.. Underwood has no battle of his owl
to fight. He sympathiZes with otner con.
gressmen who have republican opposition
of a formidable character. His chic
reason, however, for desiring an early adj
| journment Is the admitted need Of bust
ness for rest from politics and legisla

Underwood on Conditions

Mr.. Underwood believes with the Presi-
dent that the hard times Try Is the
result of psychological impressions. But
the President and the leader disagree
as to the better method of treating the
psychological disease The former would
disregard or ignore it. The latter would
give II every attention.
Times are not hard. according to Mr.
Underwood. Business is simply at a
standstill According to the leader there
Is every reason to believe that pros
perity is ahead. He has faint idea that
the interstate commerce commission will
permit the railroads to Increase certain
freight rates with the result hat the rail-
roads will again enter the market. He
points to the bumper crops OF the south
and west. He points to the fact that the
treasury stands ready to turn loose its
millions to aid the farmer and the labor
should crisis come.
Nevertheless. he believes that Con-
gress should rest. lie would not take a
foolish and unnecessary chance.
