FAMOUS BALLADS
Rendered At Close Of Session
Of Congress
Cry Of BE Neutral" Shuts
Off Singing Of Tipperary'

Washington, u. c. March 5-The
strains of Its Long Way to Tip
perary," sung in clear, melodious
voice, rang through the House of
Representatives yesterday. The House
had adjourned sine die, and, as usual
on such occasions, singing was in or
der.
The singer, Mrs. Lenora Sherwood,
the gifted daughter of Congressman
Isaac Sherwood of Ohio stood in the
gallery. Led by her, the solons and
assembled guests on the floor below
sang many other familiar songs in a
grand, swelling chorus.
When Mrs. Sherwood raised her
voice in the first line of "Tipperary,"
members didn't know whether to fol-
low her or not. Some Of them baked.
Representative Tom Heflin, of Ala
bama, who is one of the chief war
blers on these adjournment occasions,
edged his way toward the gallery rail,
and, attracting her attention, said in
husky voice:
Were neutral"
But there was one spunky little wo-
man on the floor Of the House, who
evidently was not partial, to say the
least, to the "allies," for she yelled
impetuously:
stop singing that song or you'll
get us in Dutch"
When her rebuke appeared to have
no effect, she shouted:
you've stayed out your time, any
way"
Quite number of politicians who
had been helping with the singing
"ducked" when it came to "Tipper-
ary," and Mrs. Sherwood spared them
further agony by changing to another
song that had no suggestions of for
elgn complications in it.
Then from America. the singing
changed to "Suwanee River" "The
Old Oaken Bucket" "Old Black joe"
Seeing Nellie Home" Aud Lang
Syne," and finally "Silver Threads
Among the Cold" before members Of
the House, now thoroughly enjoying
the singing, lifted former Mayor Fitz'
ergald of Boston, and at one time a
member of the house, to table where
he carried the dir of that favorite OF
oil singers, Sweet Adeline."
AS he sang, "Honey Fitz' addressed
the words of the ballad to Mrs. Sher'
wood, who replied, arms outstretched
in what might have been a burlesque
rendition of Romeo and Juliet
balcony scene, while the big audience
applauded.

in Which One Man Was
Killed And -Four Injured
Davis Is Now About Ready
To Leave The Hospital

Mrs. Frances Lafever Of South Yer
non received q letter Friday morning
from her nephew, Mr.. Jason Davis,
narrating the details of the automo.
bile accident In which he figured at

Mr. Davis, who was temporarily EN-.
ployed as press agent for the X. G.
Barkoot Carnival Co., was returning
to Montgomery in an automobile
from the show grounds. With him
we're Mr.. Barkoot and four other men,
including the chauffeur.
1t was necessary to descend hill
before entering Montgomery. This
latter was about four squares long
and the chauffeur started his car
down at slow gait. When the ma
chine had almost reached the bottom
the chauffeur noticed a buggy immed'
lately in front. He instantly switch
ed the machine aside so as to pass
the vehicle, but ran head-on into a
moving street car.
All in the party we're thrown from
the car. One man was killed instant
ly, another had his leg SO badly man
gIed by the street car that amputa
tion was necessary, the arm of an
other was broken, fourth had three
ribs broken, one escaped unhurt
while Mr.. Davis received number
of ugly bruises ON the left side OF
his head and body and never recov
!, cred consciousness until the followini
morning.
Mr.. Davis stated in the letter tina
he had practically recovered fron
the effects of the terrible acciden
and desired to leave the st. Marguer
lite hospital, where he was confined
His physician advised several NOR
days OF quiet. however, 80 that h
might recover from the shock to hi
nerves.
Mr.. Davis escape from possibly
mortal injuries was little short o
miraculous.

Meeting of City Fathers To- morrow Night Promises to
 Be of Wide Interest.
TO AMEND STREET
 TAX ORDINANCE
Another Matter of Vital Interest to All That Will Come Before Council If Health Board Is Represented, Is
 the Milk Inspection Measure.

Matters of more than ordinary lm- portance will come before the city | council at the regular meeting Mon doy night, and the indications are the session will be rather long Public health and safety will be subjects that will cause discussion, and upon which action of definite nature is expected. The arrangement to pay for lime purchased by Mayor Bloom, to be used as a disinfectant in the sections flooded during the high water stage, will be one of the questions brought up, and which is expected to be settled by the allow ance of the bill, and the order for warrant to be drawn with which to pay it.
 There being no funds available with which to make this purchase SC, the mayor personally took the re- sponsibility of the indebtedness, and the council will now have to make an appropriation in settlement Of the account. The need for the lime was great, and it was needed at once. There was no time to wait for action by the council, in order to protect the public health, ond the mayor did not. wait.
 The Milk Ordinance.
 The milk inspection ordinance will come before the council again, if members of the cfsj board of health are in attendance. The ordinance would have been passed in satisfac- tory shape, more than likely, at the 1o~ CIs of ai1 weeks ago, had there been in attend ance a representative of the health board to inform the council that the proposed amendments were satlsfac- tory to the board.
 Just what the council will do with the milk ordinance is difficult to forecast. There appears no very great opposition to the ordinance, especial ly since the leading dairymen have gone on record as desiring only a few amendments which are comparo- lively minor in their nature. The one big objection by the dairymen, is ot the section levying a tax on the dairymen. The dairymen make the statement that the city should be willing and able to pay the salary of the inspector, to protect the public health, and in this they appear te have won the support of quite . number of citizens, as we'll as o1 some of the aldermen. That ont point alone appears to remain fol settlement, before the ordinance vii be passed.
