Commissioners Will Send Sep
arate Bills Providing Changes
Urged in Estimates.
PROPOSALS DEEMED
HIGHLY IMPORTANT
Besides Other Things, Establish.
ment of Separate License Bureau
May Be Advocated.

Impressed with the necessity
for the new legislation recon-
mended in their estimates. the
District Commissioners will send
to Congress separate bills provid-
ing for the proposed reforms, the
most important of which are
abolishment of the board of edu-
cation and board of charities and
vesting of the powers held bv
these bodies iii the Commis-
sioners.
Other legislative changes which the
estimates recommend in the interest of
economy and good government and
which are to be sought in separate
measures are the consolidation of the
water department under District con-
troll; establishment of annual in place
of triennial assessments. and appoint
ment of the register of wills by the
Supreme Court and recorder of deeds by
the Commissioners instead of by the
President.
Will Act as Safeguard.
While these reforms may be accom-
plished through the appropriation act
separate bills will be introduced as a
safeguard, for the Commissioners are
determined to spare no efforts to bring
about legislation which they deem of
the greatest Importance to the Dis
trict.
Another big legislative change under
contemplation which is not mentioned
in the estimates, but will likely be
sought in a separate bin. is the estab-
lishment of a license bureau as a sep
arate and distinct branch of the local
government. At present, licenses are
handled under the direction and control
of the assessors Office. With the es-
tablishment of the bureau it also is
proposed to make a change in licensing
methods and license fees. The changes
will be directed toward bringing about
an equalization of fees.
AS regards the Great Falls proposal,
the Commissioners have not decided
upon a course of action, but they will
either send to Congress n bill recon-
mendine this improvement or submit a
report Incorporating their views upon
some other bill to be introduced in rela-
ton to this subject

Plans to Increase Revenue.

Coincident with the national defense
plans. the President laid down his pro-
posals for meeting the added millions
OF expense. and suggested taxes on in
comes, gasoline, naphrha. automobiles,
fabricated iron and steel and ON bank
checks. He opposed the sale of bonds.
The task of building a merchant ma
rlne, he said, must soon be undertaken
privately. In the meantime he urged
the government control of merchant
ships. saying that when trade had thus
been esta blished the government would
withdraw.
In 1ashing foreign born intriguers
President Wilson said:
There are citizens of the United
States. l blush to admit, born under
other flags. but welcomed under our
generous naturalization laws to the
full freedom and opportunity of Amer
ica, who have poured the poison. of
disioyalty into the very arteries of our
national life; who have sought to bring
the authority and good name of our
government into contempt, to destroy
our industries wherever they thought
1t effective for their vindictive pur-
poses, to strike at them and to debase
our politics to the uses of foreign in
trigue."

Special Laws Are Needed.


No federal laws exist to meet this sit
uation. said Mr. Wilson, because such a
thing would have seemed incredible in
the past. Such creatures of passion,
disioyalty and anarchy. he added
must be crushed out They are not
many, but they are infinitely maIign-
nant, and the hand of our power should
close over them at once"
On the subject of pan an-Americanism he
said: THE states of America are not
hostile rivals. but cooperating friends
and their growing sense of community
interest, alike in matters political and
them new significance as factors in
international affairs and in the political
history of the world"
War Is Disciplined Might"
Speaking of the proposed increase in
fighting strength. he said:
But war has sever been Il mere mat
ter of men and arms. 1t is thing OF
disciplined might. If our citizens are
ever to fight effectively upon sud
den summons, they must know how
modern fghting is done. and what to
do when the summons comes to render
themselves Immediately available and
Immediately effective. And the gov
ernment must be their servant in this
matter. must supply them with the
training they need to take care OF
themselves and of it,
! The military arm of their govern
ment, which they viii not allow to di :
rect them. they may properly use to
serve them and make their independ-
ence secure-and not their own indie
pendence merely, but the rights also OF
those with whom they have made com
mon cause, should they also be put in
jeopardy"
Galleries Are Packed.
The House galleries were packed
three hours before the time for Presi-
dent Wilson to deliver his address and
hundreds of disappointed ones who had
failed to get the coveted tickets of adj

as he placed the ledger back on the

genius of Monsieur LIE Coco to the
extreme, and, even then it is doubt
full whether he could fathom such a
mystery. However, l will pay my
respects to Madame and make a

There are two places in this world
of ours where Monsieur Rue has
admired the sunset. One of the
places was Quebec, and it was the
suns reflection on the maple trees,
which is sight degrandeur. The
other place is Wynburg &C., with
it's elongated leaf which is called
the silver leaf, it is the masterpiece
of foliage and beauty. Especially
when the sun is setting.

difficulty in finding same when he
stepped off the Cape and Pretoria

carriage drive, is careened artistic
landscape work, which denotes that
well skilled workmen are kept on

paths simuate in a very picturesque
manner towards a miniature lake,
which scintiliates with the glare of
the African sun in very becoming
manner.
But this apparently had no effect
upon the tuner, for as the Kaffir
bounded along with his fare, Jean
began to feel more fidgety, hypo-
chondria in an acute emotional ef-
fusion. And as the Kaffir deposit
ed him at the front-door, he gave a
boisterous whoop: L Kona umba-

DISTRIBUTION
 0F DRESSES Many Hearts Gladdened Through Benevolence of
 l.. T. Cooper

The first distribution of dresses to the poor women of the Birmingham district, which was made possible through the benevolence of MT. l.. T. Cooper, manu- facturer of the celebrated preparation. Tanlac, occurred at Jacobs Drug store between the hours of 8 and p. m. yes terday. For three days a young woman had been kept busy cutting and wrap ping the patterns into bundles, ready for those who called for them and at 5 o'clock, there was a tremendous crowd in waiting.
 Through the courtesy of Samuels & Co.,, handsome oak table, with felt cov- ering, had been placed in the front of Jacobs store and this was piled high with bundles and bolts of cloth, ready for those in need. Three people worked as fast as they could to accommodate the waiting throng, but at 6:15 o'clock, at which time the crush was so great that 1t was neces- sary to close the distribution, scores of women were still in line.
 Mrs. Searight of the city welfare de- partment was on hand, and rendered valuable assistance in identifying the worthy and those in greatest need.
 Another distribution win be made in the near future, due notice of which will be published.-Adv.

T want to say a few words in be- half of this medicine. Tanlac," said Mir B. H. Brantley of Rural Route No [, Box 76, Birmingham, in talking to MT. Leonard Wise of Jacobs drug store Sat urday morning. T told my wife" con tinued MT. Brantley, that I though I owed 1t to suffering humanity to come here and publicly declare what Tanlac has done in my case
 For several years my stomach has been in a bad shape; I could not digest what I ate and suffered untold misery after eating. I could get no rest at night and my condition had become se- rious. As I got no nourishment from my food, I lost considerable weight and strength until I was almost a nervous wreck
 Finally, after failing to get relief from the many different remedies I tried, a feeling of depression came over me and didn't seem to have much life left in me. l would get up in the mornings feeling like I had no interest in any thing and didn't care much what hap pened next. Up to a few years ago. I had been a healthy, robust man, able to eat what I wanted, and do as much work anybody, so this rundown con dition was a great hardship on me.
 ITO tell you the truth,' continued MT. Brantley T had about lost faith in medicines, but reading so much of the new remedy Tanlac, and noticing that so many people. suffering from about the same complaints as myself. declared they had been relieved through It's use, I decided once more to try to get well.
 "I had hardly taken half a bottle of Tanlac before l began to see signs of improvement and you may know I be- gan to feel encouraged. My wife mo- ticed 1t, too and urged me to keep up the treatment This bottle I have just bought makes the third and the relief I have received. is simply marvellous. I now have a splendid appetite and thor oughly enjoy my meals. For a week I have slept better than for a long time and I am gaining weight steadily My strength. is rapidly coming back to me and l just feel like a different man.
 'I heartily recommend Tanlac because I sincerely believe 1t does all that Is claimed for it. and 1t certainly has been blessing to me-"

Detroit July Si.-William. B showed his superiority over all other pacing champions this afternoon by outlasting and outgaming his field and winnin g the $5o0o free or-all, two heats out Of three. This event. which brought together the most famous pacers in the world. was the race of greatest interest for the final day of the Grand Circuit week. only a little less spec tacular was the 2;03 pace which went four heats, while the PIP trot with five also was splendid performance.
 Flower Direct and Anna Bradford were lucky to escape the flag.
 Marvin, in the second mile, allowed Murphy to do the leading. The fast clip of the first heat had tired Di- rtctum I and when the dash for the wire began he faltered. William passed him in the las teighth, then Flower Di- him in the last eighth. then Flower Di- place.
 In the final heat Anna Bradford paced out in front with Flower Direct second. William third and Directum I In the rear. In this order they raced until the three-quarter pole was passed. Then Marvin gave William his head and 1t was all over.
