Chalmers had told! IF her mother

The Awakening.
The sun had passed the meridian

sleep as deep as Abou ben Adhern's.
yet one crowded with flying tptoe
dreams. The one great fact of Shir-
ley's love had lain at the core Of an
these honied images, and his mind
was full Of it as his eyes opened, wide
all at once, to the new day.
He looked at his watch and rolled
from the bed with a laugh. Past
twelve!" he exclaimed. Good heav-
ems! What about an the work l had
laid out for tcday7"
Presently he was Epfashfng in the
lake, shooting under his curved hand

danced about the rim barking, now
venturing to wet a v~aloruus paw, now
scrambltng up the bank to escape the
watery javelins.
Valiant came up the terraces with
| his blood bounding to a new rapture.
Crossing the garden, he ran quickly
to the little close which held the sun
dial and pulled a single great passion
flower. He stood a moment holding
it to his face, his nostrils catching It's
faint elusive perfume. Only last night.
under the moon, he had stood there
with Shirley in his arms. A gush of
the unbelievable sweetness of that mo-
ment poured over him. His face
softened.
Standing with his sandaled feet
deep in the white blossoms. the sun
on his damp hair and the loose robe
clinging to his moist limbs, he gave
himself to a sudden day-dream. A
wonderful waking dream of Joy over
flooding years of ambitionless ease;
of the Damory Court that should be
in days to come.
When he came from the little close
there was a new mystery in the sun
shine, a fresh and joyous meaning in
the intense blue ~overarching of the
imponderable sky. Every bird-note
held Its own love-secret. A wood
thrush sang it from a silver birch be-
side the summerhouse, and a bob
white whistled it in the little valley
beyond. Even the long t~rip-hammer
of q PARKWAY w%oodpecker beat a ra-
diant tattoo.

Hang your purple-and-gold pessimism!
You only make the birds sound

He tried to work, but work was not
for that marvellous afternoon. He
wandered about the gardens, planning
this OF that addition: a little longer
sweep to the pansy-bed-a clump of
bullrushes at the farther end of the
lake. He peered into the stable: a

Governor Telegraphs Glass

Montgomery, February 4.-(Special.) }
After being Informed of the action of
the United States Senate in refusing
TO seat Frank p. Glass as United States
senator from Alabama, the governor
sent Mr.. Glass the following telegram
this evening:
"I congratulate you on the splendid
fight you made to vindicate the rights
OF the state of Alabama. The vote
while disappointing, confirms the wis
dom of my choice and fully fortifies
my exercise of power to appoint. Those
who have so unjustly denounced me
as guilty of gross disregard of law in
making the appointment must now at
least admit. in view of the vote cast
that their criticisms We're inspired more
by political hostility than by knowl-
edge of the law.
while the decision of the Senate is
final l am still earnestly convinced
that I had the power to appoint and
that the construction given the seven
teenth amendment denies to our state
for many months the constitutional
right to equal representation in the
Senate. Express to Senator Bankhead
my sincere congratulations upon his
magnificent fight for Alabamas con-
stitutional rights"

STAND BY ACTION
IN AIDING HObSON
Anti-Saloon League Organ
Publishes Results of Con-
ference Held Saturday

The Alabama Citizen, the publication of
the Alabama Anti Saloon League, declared
yesterday that the league would continue
In its support of r. p Hobson for the SEN
ate, despite the protests of members of
the league who are leaders in the fight
for Oscar w Underwood.
A statement was published In connec-
ton with the foregoing to the end that
in referring to the Underwood campaign
book as a book of lies" the Citizen mad
not intended TO reflect on the integrity of
the members of the league who had al
tached their signatures to the campaign
book.
1t was known last Saturday afternoon
that the Citizen would carry the above
statement yesterday. The statement was
the verdict of the headquarters commit
tee OF the league to which the Under
wood leaders referred their case. They
contended that the activity of the league
was misplaced in that prohibition was not
an issue in the senatorial fight, and that
the defeat of Hobson, which they CON
sidered certain, would revert to the in
jury of the league and to the cause of
temeprance.
Inasmuch as the committee decided
against the protestants it might be of
interest to denote the membership of
the committee; Or. w. b. Crumpton,

The Underwood leaders. earnest workers
in the ranks OF the Alabama Anti-Saloon
League, and earnest advocates of tenn
perance. who protested against the activ-
ity of the league and the charge that
their book was n book of lies, were Judge
N. d. benson of Opelika formerly MEM
ber of the supreme court Senator James
d. Norman of Lovett, C. w. Ashcraft of
Florence, r. J. WoCten and J. Carter
Wright of Roanoke.
1t is rumored that these members will
issue statement in regard to their pro-
test and their defeat at the hands of the
headquarters committee. They will take
this course, 1t is understood in order
to put their proposition before the people
of the state is u wEcle.

FIRE ON NORTHSIDE
Considerable Damage Caused to Plant
of Huffman Paint and Roofing Co.

Sparks on the roof nearly caused a
disastrous fire at 1909 Ninth avenue,
north, In a building occupied by the
Huffman Paint and Roofing company.
at 2:55 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Before the blaze was extinguished
damage to the extent of $500 had been
caused to the plant.
According to the firemen the blaze
was a particularly hard one to battle
With. There was practically no good
blaze and as the burning paint caused
a heavy dense smoke to arise filled
with fumes the fiEemen were badly
handicapped. They however with chem
icals and hose managed to protect sur
rounding buildings and to keep down
the fire loss to a nominal figure
The ffremen who answered the
alarm were from stations /, 6, and II.

SUPREME COURT MAY TAKE
UP LAWLER CASE TODAY

Montgomery, February 4-(Special)-At-
torneys for w. I. Lawler, probate judge
of Madison county, against whom inn
peachment proceedings have been brought
by Attorney General Brickell, have filed
lengthy demurrer to the information
furnished by the states attorney, and
the supreme court will probably take the
case under advisement tomorrow.
Indications are that the court will name
commission to go to Huntsville and
take evidence in the case. 1t is said that
there will be more than 100 witnesses to
be examined, and that the litigation could
be Inuch facilitated by examining these
witnesses in Huntsville. Another reason
for supposing that the court will appoint
a commission to take evidence is the fact
that the expense of summoning 100 wit
nesses from Huntsville to Montgomery
would cost a large amount of money,
consiGer& bly, over $1,000
impeachment proceedings were brought
against Judge Lawier at the instigation
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-02-05

of the Madison county grand jury, which
recommended that Judge Lawler and
Other county officials be ousted FROM
office. Before the proceedings wer
brought, however, Judge Lawler applied
to the supreme court for a writ of mani
damus to have the grand jury's recom-|
mendations stricken from the court reel
ords.
The court decided against Judge Law
Ter, whereupon the attorney general i'm
mediately filed information with the SD
preme court asking for Judge Lawler 81
impeachment. The attorney general S
charges against Judge Lawler were will
full neglect of duty, incompetency and cor
ruption in office.
The court fixed February as the date|
for the fling of Judge LAWYERS answer to|
the attorney generals charges, and the|
demurrer has already been presented toI
the court. Judge Lawler is represented
by Judge D. w. Speak and R. E. Sprag-|
