GOVERNORS MANSION
 BEING OVERHAULED
Birmingham Man Is Now Doing Work Found Necessary by Recent
 Legislative Committee

Much needed repairs are being made to the executive mansion at Montgomery. The rooms are being redecorated and re- draped, new lighting fixtures are being installed where necessary and the whole building is undergoing thorough over- hauling.
 Mrs. Henderson expects that the build- ing will be ready for occupancy by her in about 10 days.
 An article in The Age-Herald some days ago called attention to the bad state of repairs in which the committee ap- pointed by the legislature found the man. sion, and the repairs are being made in accordance with the report of that con- mttee
 Carroll D. Colby. the decorator, has the contract for furnishing the new drap- cries, etc, for the entire mansion. Mir Colby has recently completed the drapery work in the handsome new colonial resi- dence of Lieutenant Governor Kilby at Anniston, and is now engaged in decorat- ing and furnishing what is said to be the handsomest residence built in Tusca- loosa since ante-bellum times, the new home of w.

Will Again Be Rendered Position of Umpire on

Another conference in all probability will be held between the board of city commissioners and Jelks Cabaniss in regard to his refusal to act as umpire of the pending disputed water bills oi the Birmingham Waterworks company
 It was stated yesterday that while MT. Cabaniss had declined to accept the position as offered by the confnission- CTS and the officials of the waterworks company, there was Likelihood that the commissioners would ask him Co re- consider the matter. Several persons made application at the city hall yes terday for the job
 No conference has been arranged, but it is probable that the water company officials and the commissioners vii arrange meeting the first part of this week and determine upon another um. pire providing MT, Cabaniss again de clines the position. zf

FEAST LOTS ID BE
 OBSERVED TODAY
Jewish People Will Cele- brate Purim in Memory
 of Esther

Purim, the Feast Of Lots. one Of the Jewish festivals. will be celebrated to- day by the Jewish people throughout, of Esther. At the Temple Emanu- Fl the children of the Sunday school were to present the playlet, Queen Esther in the vestry rooms of the temple but owing to the death of a member of the congregation 1t has been postponed for a week.
 Purim, the Feast of Lots is half holiday in the Jewish calendar. The synagogal service for this festival is limited to the reading of the Book of Esther, upon the story of which the celebration Is based
 Purim celebrates the victory of Mor- decai. the faithful Jew. over Haman the grand vizier fthe King Ahasuerns who plotted to destroy the Jews. Queen Esther, it will be remembered, had been elevated to the throne to succeed Vashti who had displeased the King tuous maiden, and it was through her intervention with the King that the heroism of Mordecai and the villainy of Haman were disclosed to him. The story of the Book of Esther reads like novel, and may or may not have real historical value. Purim means Tots" and the festival is so called be- cause the day on which the destruction of the Jews was decreed was chosen by lots.
 Purim is a time of general festivity among the Jews, and like most festivals of the Jewish calendar it is a time fof the giving of gifts to the poor.

TUBB WILL FIGHT FOR RETURN OFPASS
Will Push Bill Permitting News. papers to Exchange Advertising for Transportation

Chester Tubb of Haleyville, the only re- publican who is entitled to a seat in the legislature, while visiting Birmingham yesterday on legal business, declared that when the general assembly reconvened. he would insist on the passage of his bill permitting newspapers to exchanae ad- |vertising for passes
 T know" he said. s't1at the big daiI,es of the state care very little concerning the movement to restore to the press Railroad passes but the editors of weekly papers do. It is for them that I am preparing to make my fight. I believe that the bill will go through the house. but am certain that it will be buffeted about in the senate. For sometime ago. as is remembered. Senator Lusk yigor- ously opposed the passage of a bill en- titlins old soldiers to passes to and from
 reunions. There Is some consolation
 however, in the knowledge that his was the only vote cast against that bill"
 MT. Tubb has introduced but one bill, ttat providing for the exchange of cour- tesies between the papers and the rail- roads. He is the only man in either branch who has introduced one bill and no more. However. one representative J. Fall Roberson of St Clair, has intro- duced none.
