COMMISSION WILL ASKFURTHER TIME Not Yet Ready to Reply On WaterwOrks COmpany's
 Proposals

Eeither today or tomorrow the pub- lie may expect some announcement from the city commission in regard to it's position on the proposition of the Birmingham Waterworks company to give cheaper water rates and sell it's plant to the city.
 It seems that owing to the absence of one or other of the three members of the commission last week attend- ing to legislation in Montgomery af- fecting Birmingham that the commis- sioners will not now have time to con- fer and give to the waterworks com pany definite answer one way or the other in regard to the proposition
 This, however, Is possible and may be done, but it is believed in the ab- sence of direct information from the members of the commission themselves that a communication to the water works company only tentatively set ting out the position of the commis- sioners on their offer will be drafted now and more time asked in which the members of the commission can confer between themselves and with the waterworks officials.
 It is understood that the water conn pany officials will agree to more time offer providing that there is a pos sibility in their belief of an amieable adjustment in the end.

FATHER O'GRADY
 DIES SUDDENLY
Was Dean of North Alabama District-Body To Be Sent
 To Rochester, N. Y.

The sudden death of the Very Rev. Henry E. o'Grady. dean of the north Ala
 bama district, and late pastor of St. Catherine's church, Pratt City, came as a shock to his many friends.
 Father O'Grady has been a sufferer from Bright's disease for the past two years and while little hope of his recov- cry was held out, still it was not ex- pected that his taking away would be so sudden.
 The deceased clergyman was 59 years old. He was native of Rochester. N. Y. In his early years he was a law student. and for short period a re- porter on the New York World. Later on he studied for the church and was or dained by Cardinal Gibbons in the year 1887. His first charge was the missions attached to the Mobile cathedral. After ward he was located at Huntsville After a few years in that city he resigned his charge and became a missionary to the n-Catholics. Tn that capacity he trav- eled all over the states of Alabama and
 Florida. preaching in theatres, public churches and meeting houses. He was a magnetic speaker and through his char ! itable presentation of the Catholic faith removed it is said much prejudice. About eight years ago Father O'Grady | was appointed pastor of the church at | Pratt City in succession to the late Father Galland. About two years ago ! his health broke down, and he resigned | the pastorate and travelled north in a ! vain effort to restore his strength. About | D days ago he returned and took a room
 at the Motion hotel. His intention was
 to locate in little cottage at Fairfield
 and there spend quietly the remainder of
 his days. He had more than usually
 severe spell Saturday night, and the Rev,
 Father Coyie was summoned at o'clock yesterday morning, but Father O'Grady died before his arrival. Father Coyle at
 once notified the bishop, the clergy of the diocese and the only brother James M.
 L. O'Grady, formerly republican senator
 in the New York legislature.
 1 Lige Loy was given charge of the body
 and he prepared it for burial. The body, vested in priestly robes was brought to | St Paul's church at 7:30 p. m. Many of his friends and a large contingent from Pratt City, headed by the Rev. Father | Dus, present pastor at Pratt City, were
 in the church. The rosary for depart
 ed soul and the vespers of the dead were | said by the priests who had already ar- | rived for the funeral.
 l This morning the Right Rev. Bishop AL len will arrive from Mobile. and a solemn
 requiem mass will be celebrated at ! o'clock. Afterward, in accordance with | instructions. the body will be kept at the
 Lige Loy undertaking establishment till | MT. OGrady arrives. He will take the
 body to Rochester, where 1t will be in- l tered in the family vault.
 1 The deceased was regarded as an ex- 1 ceptionally able preacher and discourse I he delivered in St. Paul's church a few | years ago Is recalled as one of rare power.

Seeking To Save Gigantic
 Oak KnOpn As Council Tree

years old to have had size sufficient to have been distinguished as a council tree among the Indians.
 Apart from all of this. however. it Is one of the most splendid specimens of the native oak tree in any part of Alabama. Sometime ago Dr. Thomas NJ. owen, di- rector of the Alabama state department of archives and history, had his attention called to the apparent decay of this tree. and anxious that steps should be taken, if possible, to save 1t for many years to come. he wrote to Dr. Charles c. Thach, president of the Polytechnic institute at Auburn, asking that the state horticul- turist make an examination, and to take such steps as might be considered by him advisable to arrest any decay.
 Earnest Walker. state horticulturist. made an examination of the tree and reported little that could not be remedied easily, and it is for funds to do this work that friends of the tree are seeking as- sistance

To Probe Killings

Anniston, February 7.-tSpecial) Just why it is that there have been eight policemen murdered In the city of Anniston in about three years. when in the entire county of Calhoun there have been only three murders or civilians two of them negroes, in l6 months, is a question that the grand jury of the city court will try to solve when 1t is impaneled two weeks from today.
 Attorney F.. D. Willett, who presided at a citizens meeting at the 'ourt- house on Friday evening, was aushor- ized to appoint committee to inves- tigate the problem and make recom- mendations to the city council, but in view of the fact that the grand Jury will meet two weeks hence 1t Is prob able that the proposed citizens tnyes- tigation will be abandoned and the matter left to the legal body.

Birmingham friends of residents of Mill stead. fin Macon county, and Tallassee, in Fillmore county, have received appeals for assistance in saving a magnificent oak tree on the Sistrunk plantation. This old tree is popularly known as "The Coun- ell Oak
 This old tree is popularly known as the Council Oak" and is supposed to have been the meeting place of the chiefs ands leaders of the old Indian town of Tuckabatchie, long time capital of the Upper Creeks But those well informed in tree lore hardly believe that the tree is old enough to have been so used in Indian times.
 After the Creek Indian war of 1S13-14, the Indian towns lost much of their inn portanoe and the rapid settlement of the country by the white people led to the abandonment in part of many of their early customs. The Creek Indians left this section of the state about 1S36 The tree would, therefore, be more than 100

the ground hog is contra-indieated, as the doctors would say. There have been only two years within the last 10 when the sun did not shine at all on February ? at the Birmingham station. vlz.: 1910 and 1913. The temperature in February. 1910, was degrees below the normal while the first half of March passed with an average degrees above normal. making the entire six weeks very near an average condition. February and the first half of March, 1918. were both about 2 de- grees below the normal
 The ground hogs judgment in return ing to his hole for eight years will be seen to have been little better than it was the two years he stayed out. Of the six weeks period four were ? to I de- grees colder and four were l to de- grees warmer than the average.
 Here we have it. Of the 10 years, four backed the judgment of the ground hog. five went against him and one was a tie. Here's hoping he will split 50-50 in 1915.

GROUNDHOG NO PROPHET.
 SAYS THE WEATHER MAN

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 A great number of people are banking heavily on the good judgment of the ground hog in remaining out on Febru- ary 2. and the weather man has been as sured by more than one person that they have always observed that the ground hogs behavior is a sure indication of what tho weather will be.
 The weather man having only passive faith in ground hog forecasting. decided to consult the records to see if the ground hog had been vindicated during the last 10 years, 1905 to 1914. inclusive.
 Of course, in making this investiga- ton. it was necessary to put aside such small details as the possibility of the sun shining for time in Birmingham and not shining at all in the ground hog haunts around Bessemer, and thereby giving Bessemer an early spring and poor Birmingham six weeks more of wintry weather.
 So far as the weather bureaus records are to be considered, good judgment by
