 "As soon as possible after he first came over here.'' he said, MT. Lynch obtained naturalization papers. When he returned to Ireland in 1907, it was as representative of the Gaelic league.

KNEW ABOUT RISING

London, May 1S.--From testimony adduced today at the hearing opened by the royal commission to inquire into the Irish rebellion, it appeared that the government had received informtion of preparations for an uprising with help from German sources. The tes- timony was given by Sir Matthew Nathan. who resigned as under secre- tary for Ireland after the rebellion broke out. Advices had been received, said Sir Matthew. that an attempt would be made to land arms in Ireland from German submarines: also that rifles had been purchased from Irish soldiers on home leave, while others had been taken into the country in passenger baggage.
 In long statement Sir Matthew out lined the formation of He national volunteers. of which he declared a small section only had been disloya1, the leaders having issued manifesto declaring that Ireland should provide for it's own defense and indicating an intention to establish a free national government. The leaders. he said, di- rected their efforts to securing more rifles and more ammunition and to storing as large an amount of mate rial as possible. This was where the real danger came from he added, as it was felt that an attempt at disarma ment might lead to bloodshed.

Understands 300 Names Have Already Been Signed
 Seeking to Recall" Him
WILLING TO CARRY
 ISSUE TO PEOPLE
Says Speeders Are Back of 1t, Be- cause They Do Not Like the Fines and Jail Sentences
 Imposed

Will Commissioner Arlie Barber De re- called?
 This is a question that is exciting much comment about the streets at the present time, as rumors persist in circulation that a petition for the recall of MT. Barber is now being passed among the voters for their signatures According to Commis- sioner Barber about 300 names have all ready been attached to the petition.
 T understand that there is petition on the streets for my recall,'' said Com missioner Barber, land if the necessary number of names can be gathered, why, I think that I will enjoy making another race. You know the best fun ever had in my life was visiting every homs in Birmingham soliciting support of the citi- zens and their wives and I can well re- peat the performance, as I am in excel- lent health and full of enthusiasm when it comes to political campaigning
 'Who is after your scalp at the pres ent time, Mr. Barber?" queried the re- porter.
 Why, I understand the 'speeders,' D was the prompt reply of the commissioner of public safety. Tt appears that the fines and jail sentences inflicted on a few prominent citizens in the recorders court has gained me a few enemies, and now my official head is demanded forth with.''
 'Is any progress being made with the recall petition?" was the next question.
 Reports coming in to me- replied MT. Barber, "are that about 300 voters have already signed
 well, something has been said to the effect that the recall feature of the com mission act is unconstitution," said the reporter, and in case the recall peti- ton is filed with you attack it in the courts?''
 q will not,' firmly replied Commis- sioner Barber. T have been told that the recall feature of the commission act would not stand up before the scrutiny of the supreme court, but it's constitution ality will never be questioned as far as am personally concerned. If a recall petition is fled with the commission in compliance with the legal demands, l will gladly settle the issue at the polls with my opponents. I have never avoided fight before and do not propose to avoid the recall by legal technicalities."
 At the city hall the recall petition for Commissioner Barber is taken seriously, as it is pointed out that coterie of very citizens is backing the move- ment However, MT. Barber merely laughs at the matter and says that the "speeders'' will have to dig up better issue than personal spleen before they can oust him out of office.

THOUGHT HE WOULD NEVER BE ABLE ID
 WORK ANY MORE
Had Given Up All Hope, But Takes Tanlac and Is Going
 Back to Farming

tI was so sick and played out l had to give up my wSrk on the farm and came to Birmingham three weeks ago to spend the rest of my days in the Confederate Veterans Home. I didn't think I'd ever be much good any longer, but when ! got here I got to taking Tanlac, and, sir you may believe me or not, but the medicine made me feel so much better and stronger that I am getting ready to go back to my old home in Shelby and go to farming again."
 The above remarkable statement was recently made by J. W. Tomlinson, age 73, of Westover, Shelby county. Alabama. Mir. Tomlinson is a well-bnown Confed- crate veteran, having served three years with Brigadier General Wright. He has lived in Shelby since the end of the war.
 TWO been a farmer all my life,'' con tinved MT. Tomlnson, and always en- joyed good health up until last summer, when bad attack of grippe and fever completely Knocked me out, and I haven't been well since. My strength left me and my health slipped away before I knew it. I couldn't eat or sleep to amount to anything; terribly nervous, couldn't take interest in anything and finally got to where I had to give up work on the farm. I took all kinds of medicine, but nothing helped me, and I was going down hill all the time.
 "A lady in Shelby county told me that Tanlac had helped her wonderfully, and I promised her when I left home that I would try the medicine when I got to Birmingham I carried out my promise and am mighty glad l did I bought a bottle and it helped me so much that when I finished taking it got another. I've taken three bottles in all and I tell you, it's wonderful what the medicine has done for me. I feel stronger and better than I have felt in years, eat and sleep a plenty, am full of life and energy and 1t does me good, to know that in a few days I'll be back on the old farm at work again.
 T know Pm getting up in years, but I believe this Tanlac medicine has put me on my feet and that I am good for a good many years longer. From what Tan lac had done for me Pm satisfied it's the best medicine in the world.'
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs Drug Store and Patton-Pope Drug Co.,. in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug O., and in Bessemer by PegramPatton Drug Co.-Adv.

WAS MAMMOTH PLAN

"Of course think it would have been best if the House committee had reported the five-year programme but l under stood that at no time was it possible to secure the votes of a majority of the committee for this larger proposition.
 "A very considerable nuZber of the na- val officers who testified before the com mittee showed that they favored build ing battle cruisers instead of battleshipS for aNtime, owing to the pressing need of this type of ship, which represents the Ehighest type of warship design The opin- ion of the general board, however, in which I concur, was that it was prob ably wiser to divide our new construc- tion of capital ships this year between dreadnaughts and battle cruisers.
 However, the need for these swift, Euge heavily gunned ships is so press ing when we consider the other great navies of the world, that I had far rather see the number I suggested increased than diminished As I said at the time, the programme I presented to Congress represented a minimum and not a max imum of each type.
 q am told that the actual amount of money appropriated for this year in the bill as reported by the committee, is more than the amount recommended in my report. The big difference is that the bill covers this year only instead of committing us to a definite increase for the four years to follow. So far as the other ships are concerned outside of the capital ships provided, there is no essential difference between those now in the bill and as recommended in my report for the first year.
 "I am sorry that the battleships were eliminated and J would be gratifed if they were restored before the bill came to the President One thing about the ia ayfr al ii flying and that is that members Of the committee who voted for only one bat tleship last yaar. this year voted for five battle cruisers
