GET AT THE CAUSE
 OF AWFUL TRAGEDY
Another Eyewitness Says Those Who Saw Lightning Simply Labored
 Under Strong Emotion

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 Liberated in ones consciousness by all trd gedies is a pancy, emotional tempera- ment which mothers fanciful and hys- teric mag gnation.
 read in todays Age-Herald various statements to the effect that the excit- ing cause of the dea th-fall of the Steele Smith wall was lightning This belief in one instance was even based on d queer SCI sation which mysteriously overcame it's subject-a sensation experienced once be- fore when lightning struck close by. This is the half-rpe. tumultuous conclusion of hysteria. l believe that had this unspeak- able cala mity occurred under cover of darkness there would have been ina gina Q ton acutely developed to have de- scribed the moving light of fairy-like air. craft, and the hostile discharge of d bomb.
 I witnessed this sickening event from a window in the Woodward euilding, and the wall was not struck by lightning There stood blaze-weakened and weather-eaten wall awaiting slight pressure increase of the wind to send it on murderous missioni And walls have stood before in Birmingham, tense with potential death, long after ravishing flame had torn from their veins the tissue of life and strength.
 The science of architecture and con struction may announce these depleted walls harmless. but the proof of the pud- ding is in the eating, and today we have this proof-grim death and sad heart broken relatives and friends.
 What is the cause of such black disas- ter? Who is responsible? Is it the in- ability to settle claims? Is 1t collective or individual inefficiency? Is 1t politics Is it the greed for gold? Whatever the cause. such human sacrifice is an indel- iblc and unpardonable stain on the records or civilized people.
 And surely, the power that guards this municipality, organized primarily to pro tect and conserve human life and prop erty will not continue to insist, through its short-sighted inactivity. or indiffer- ence, or procrastination that the citizens allow their respect for it's virtues to wane. I am. yours very truly,

CHANGES MADE IN
 THE WOODWARD CO.
Were Announced Informal ly Sometime Ago-Ef-
 fected in New York

The changes in the organization of were unofficially announced some weeks ago only to be denied by the local offices, were effected in New York yesterday. according to an an houncement made there. The position of chairman of the board was created and A. H. (RiclS) Woodward was elect ed chairman from the position of vice president and general manager. The unofficial announcements were that Mr. Woodward would be president and his father, J. H. Woodward would be chairman. However. J. IL Woodward retains the position as president while the younger official takes the chair manship R. H. Bannster was made vice president to succeed A H. Wood ward from the position of secretary D. E. Wilson was elected treasurer and Herbert Smith elected assistant secretary. The office of secretary is thrilled. The changes, it Is assumed, are effective at once.
 A. H. Woodward, who takes the po- sition as chairman, has been the oper- eting head of the Woodward interest for several years. He is perhaps the youngest operator in this district of such important properties. He has ef- fected many extensive improvements at Woodward and is accredited with being one of the most democratic and ap- lroachable big men in the Birmingham district. He has caused the construc- tion of the by-product ovens, nego- tiated the purchases of the Birming ham Coal and Iron company coal prop critics and has effected many trades and improvements of advantage to his company. In this district Rick" Woodward is accredited with being one of the best informed and most eompe- tent ironmakers ever produced by this section. It is believed that in his new 1y created position Mir Woodward will have much better opportunity to e4- feet further improvements
 MT. Bannister is a fine example of the promotions and successes that are to be had by well informed men in this district He came here in 1896 and started his career in young Biz" mingham as a collector for an iron company. Later on he was made a clerk for the Woodward company at $60 per month. From that meager salary ht has risen to the five-figure kind ana has won the respect of the industrial world as a capable and efficient oft cer. He has been secretary of the Woodward company for many years and is greatly esteemed by the owners and directors. MT. Bannister is a mem Der of the Country and Southern clubs and popular socially.

 Owing to the prominence of the deceased in the section of the county in which he resided, much interest was manifested in the trial and in addition to the 40 wit resses summoned to testify a large num- Der of relatives and friends were in at tendance at court

'bULGER IN FAVOR
 !. OF SENATE CLOTURE
Dadeville Senator Thinks Wrong for One Man to
 Prevent Majority Action

Thomas L. Bulger of Dadevile. who represents the Tenth district in the state senate and who is president pro tenn pore Of that body, believes with Wil- liam Jennings Bryan that a parliament tafy rule of cloture should be adopted not only in the national but in all state senates.
 Senator Bulger while in Birmingham last night declared that when the leg islature convenes again in July he would introduce a resolution amending the rules so that eloture will prevail.
 Tt Is palpably wrong he said flor one man to talk measure to death. or for minority, by privileges of per- petual speech, to defeat a majority. With the rule of cloture in effect 1t will be possible in the senate as it is in the house, to move the previous question ard thus put an end to debater
 The senator, it is generally understood, determined to change the rules of the senate following the Lusk filibust4r ln' February which prevented the majority of the members of the senate from sub hitting an amendment to the people pro- viding for the issuance of bonds in tto sum of s2eooooo, plan. as is generally known, favored and strongly supported by Governor Henderson
 In July" said Senator Bulger. we. will vote to submit that amendment with out material trouble. And let us hope that we will be able to change the rules that in the future one man or even minority of several men will not be able by long talk to deny the major ity the right to vote any question:
