SUFFRAGE BILL
 ID BE RETURNED Senator Hollis Says He Is Waiting for Instructions
 From the Ladies
ny HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery, February S.-(SpeciaD Senator Hollis, chairman of the senate committee on elections and privileges, stated this afternoon that he would return the bill providing for the submission of favorable report whenever the ladies in- structed him to do SO
 The ladies in question are. at the pres ent time, attending a pow-wow in Tusca- loosa. They are expected in Montgom- cry tomorrow or Friday, and then the bill will be presented in all it's fearful ness'' to the senate for formal and final disposition.
 There is no question but that the suf- fragettes have won their battle to have equal suffrage discussed on the floor of at least one house of the legislature Tn the other house, however, their bill is hopelessly buried. According to the ru- nor, the suffragettes will invoke cer- tain clause fin the criminal code of 1907. which provides that a measure embodyin proposed constitutional amendment need not be referred to committee. If this rumor Is correct, and the contention of the suffragettes sustained, they may be able to put the members of the house on record as evidence indicates that they will be able to do regarding the members of the senate.
 Even should the ladies secure vote on their proposed legislation, it is consid- cred very probable that the result would not be to their advantage. However. they are hopeful, it is said. that not only will the legislature grant them their re- quest, but that the people of Alabama, by direct vote, will do likewise.
 At any rate, members are trembling at the approach of the crucial moment as If 1t contained something of potent evil.

BRITAIN REQUESTS THE EXTRAD|T|ON OF
 WERNER VAN HORN
Charge German Who Dyna- mited Bridge With At tempted Destruction
 of Human Life

Washington, February 3.--The Brit ish ambassador today filed with the state department request for extradi- ton from Maine to Canada of Werner Van Horn on charge of attempted destruction of human life in eonnec- tion with the dynamiting of the St. CroiX international railway bridge. The ambassadors note stated thc re- quest was based on request from the Canadian minister of justice.
 If the application is found regular in form, Van Horn will be ordered be- fore a United States commissioner and Canadian authorities allowed to appear against him. Should the commissioner decide there is no case. the prisoner might be discharged without further proceedings. Should extradition be or dered, however, an appeal to the state department would be admissible. Van Horn already has indicated he would fight extradition.
 A telegram from the prisoner today asking the German ambassador to safe guard his interests here, as he was a German subject, declared he did not put foot on Canadian soil" That was taken here to mean that though he was on the bridge he did not actually stand on Canadian soil As the inter- national boundary follows the middle line of the river and the piers of the tridge rest on Canadian soil at the end where Van Horn is said to have placed his charge of dynamite, officials at tach no importance to this plea.
 The German embassy delayed passing upon Van Horns request pending a re- port on his citizenship from the Ger man consul general in New York.
 Officials Silent
 State department officials declined to express any opinion as to Van Horns contention that his offense was political" that it was an act of war directed against his country's enemy, and that it was his intention to pre- vent continued transportation across this bridge of troops and munitions of war going to Europe to be used against Germany. It was pointed out, however, that to prove that his act was an act of war, Van Horn must produce evil dence that he was acting under higher authority and by direct orders The act of an individual on his own respon- sibility usually is not accounted an act of war
 On the other hand, if the prisoner should produce evidence that he was acting under direction of the German government, it is said. violation of | the neutrality of the United States by Germany might be involved.
 The Canadian government in making its application referred to the man as an ordinary civil criminal. It was pointed out incidentally that this n- sures Van Horn, if eXtradited from be. l ing treated as a German spy or even | as a military prisoner.

MANY IN FAVOR
 0F 4ANT|-T|P" BILL Author of Measure on the House Calendar Explains
 Origin of Term
By l.. S. BETTY

Montgomery, February 3.-(Special) Representative Griffin of Marengo is re- ceiving many letters with reference to his anti-tip bill, which is on the house calendar for passage. Most of the cor respondence on the subject contains warm words of praise for the bill, and one of the letters explains the origin of the term tip.
 According to this correspondent, the word originated in ''ye old' tavern days, when each hostelry had at its door a box, over which was the inscription, ITO Insure Prompt Service"
 "1n those days they had wars, but they were not so dependant on the fleecy sta- pie as now, and strangers in those parts had money and no hard times, and with each service requested, to insure prompt ness, or to hasten the messenger, the guest would drop or give to the party do- ing such service a coin of some denomi- nation, hence the origin of T. l. P.,'' says this correspondent.
 In his own explanation of the term tip" MT. Griffin says:
 By gratuity or tip. as used in this act is meant any extra compensation of any kind which any hotel, restaurant, cafe, dining car, railroad company, or sleeping car company, or the manager, officer, or any agent thereof in charge of same, allows to be given an employe, or which any person gives to any employe, or which is received by any employe. and is not a part of the regular charge of the hotel, restaurant, cafe, dining car, railroad company or sleeping car com pany, which is not part of its regular charge for the thing bought or services rendered, or a part of the service which by contract it is under duty to render
 No hotel, restaurant, cafe. dining car railroad company or sleeping car com pany shall evade this act by adding tc the regular charge, directly or indirectly anything intended for, or to be used. or tC be given away as a gratuity or tip to tho employees.
 "All charges made by the hotel, res taurant, cafe, dining car. railroad com. pany or sleeping car company. must bt made by it and be in good faith charge for the service which 1t reders exclu sively of the service which 1t furnishes through it's employees"

Reports from New Orleans indicate that Wambsgands is taking the O'Brien match seriously and is in ac- tive training. Wambsgands, it is stat ed, will arrive in Birmingham prob ably on Saturday and will polish up at the B. A. c. gymnasium, while awaiting the big event Monday night.
 Both Wambsgands and O'Brien have fought i'll Birmingham before. O'Brien fought a draw with Sailor, Dixon at the B. A. c. last week and Wambs- gands earned a draw decision with Eddie Hanlon at the Athletic club about three weeks ago. The appear ance of both of these welterweights in a local ring made good impress sion with the boxing fans and they will be welcomed back next Monday night by a large crowd of enthusiasts
