May 7.-William Thompson, negro, alleged to have shot and fatally wounded City Policeman George Burroughs last night. was cap tured by posse of officers and citi- ens about o'clock tonight about three miles east of the city, after an ex- change of shots in which one of the pursuers was slightly wounded. &The negro was brought to jail here. .Qfi- cer Burroughs died about 4 o'clock this morning.

TWO ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS ID
 TARIFF OFFERED
Harrison Attacks Measure as "Cure-AII" and Says Congress Pursuing
 Wrong Course
By Associated Press

| Washington, May 7.-rFurther consider ation of the emergency tariff bill today by the Senate was marked by the intro- duction of two additional amendments and an attack on the measure by Senator Harrison, democrat of Mississippi
 Senator Ashhurst, democrat, of Arizona, proposed that the duty of ' cents a pound on long-staple cotton be increased to 70 cents, while Senator Jones, democrat, of New Mexico, moved for a tariff of b per cent advalorem on all importations of hides. The amendments will be taken up later. R
 In his attack on the bill Senator liar rison told the Senate Congress was pur- suing the wrong course in seeking to remedy the country's economic ills by use of a scure-all,' tariff. He declared that the average farmer desires to make 'the more available" such agencies for his aid as he now has rather than to waste further time on such questions as the tariff
 The Mississippi senator asserted that
 
 idly behind the bill and read speech, delivered by Senator Moses, republican, of New Hampshire at the last session attacking the measure as being afflicted with congenital economic rlckets" MT. Moses remarked that ne assumed the speaker was seeking to wiring recanta- tions' from him and added
 POSITION UNCHANGED
 But my position this bill has not changed I hope at the proper time to address a few poignant remarks to the Senate on the subject and I intend par ticularly to discuss the last section (re- strictions on importation of dyestufD of the bilL" s-
 MT. Harrison then turned to what he described as constructive programme for relief of the farmers. He argued that railroad legislation which would make it possible for the American speo- pie again to use the transportation sys- tems was urgent, and that the farm loan duty by changes that would make loans easier to the farmers
 Whatever happens to this tariff, he said, these othey subjects should be con sidered first. The senators on the other Republican, side must go at this in different way; they must follow e. diff ferent course if they are not to .betray their party principles and break all of the pledges they made to the people last fall"
 Chairman, Fordney of thesliouse ways and means committee announced today that subcommittees of his committee were practically through with their work on the permanent tariff bill, and that the whole committee probably would begin consideration of the permanent scned- ules within week.
 MT. Fordney indicated that the repup~ lican members of the committee were agreed on the adoption of the American valuation plan as the basis for levyins duties. He said that by passing the rates or the American wholesale value of commodity rather than on it's value Tn foreign land it would be possible to eliminate undervaluation.

SELMA BOND ISSUE ! MAIN TOPIC 0F CLUB

Selma, May 7.-(S Special. )-lntelligen attention to the proposed bond issue of S250000, by which the city council proposes to apply the 2mill tax, now used for retiring the old city debt, to improvements in sewerage, schools and a park for Selma, was given by Elk change club mempers ! today at their luncheon, when the matter was clear ly presented to them by E, F. Russell and Leo Leva. city attorney.
 MT Russell, sponsoring the pro- posed measure, pointed to the forward end progressive nature of the bond issue, in giving aid to the schools, which are badly crowded, in providing for east Selma, where at present sew craze is entirely inadequate or nom existent, and in establishing a park for the citizens. Sentiment of the club members was thoroughly in accord with Mir. Russell's ideas. v
 Leo Leva, treating the bond issue from strictly business standpoint, ex- rlained the modus operandi of the g. mill tax, showing that the bond issue would not increase taxes, if the 2-mill tax is applied to the retirement of the londs, and explaining other points in a clear and logical manner.
 Mir. Leva stated that the park project would cost s2,Oo0 to $3.000 year to the city for upkeep of grounds and build ings, should the citizens vote to es- tablish a park, and he expressed doubt

TRAVELLERS ID AID
 SCHOOL OF TRADES
I. P. A. Pledges Dollar Con- tribution for Every Member
 to RagIand School

The Travellers Protective association, at it's state convention at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday. unanimously pledged the support of that organization to the Alabama School of Trades and Industries and authorized the secretary to call on all posts in the state to have their members contribute S1 each toward securing the $SO,0OO necessary to release the conditional appropriation made by the state.
 The resolutions, which were introduced by L. c. Cardinal commercial agent Of the Mobile and Ohio railroad, aroused much enthusiasm among the members and brought forth several speeches on the need for 8 school in this state where boys not able to enter other institutions, because of lack of the required educa- tien, might be taught to become skilled workmen.
 REOLUTIONS
 Following are the resolutions which were adopted by the state traveiing men:
 Whereas, the state of Alabama has appropriated money for the establishment and maintenance of the Alabama School of Trades and Industry at Ragland; and,
 Whereas, suitable Hand for site has been donated by the people of the com munity, and the state has appropriated S30,000 toward the construction of a building, provided the people of Alabama will make donations of the same amount; and,
 Whereas, there is no school in Ala bama which provides vocational educa- tion for the white boys of the state who I,n nrlt, anf e enter the University of Alabama, and since no institution in the state Is now teaching, or is prepared to teach, voca- tional training which will fit our poor white boys to become highly skilled work CTS and enable them to become scientific farmers;
 INDORSE BROWNS PLAN
 Therefore, be it resolved, That the Travellers Protective association of Ala bama, in convention assembled at Bir- mngham May :, does hereby heartily indorse the plans adopted by Senator Watt Brown chairman of the board of strustees of the Alabama School ot Trades and Industries, to raise the $So,0w needed to make the state appropriation available; and,
 Be it further resolved That we com mand his plan of raising this sum by small subscriptions, principally of one dollar and that we pledge the hearty support of the Travellers Protective as sociation of Alabama to the work, ana that the secretary be and hereby is in structed to take up this matter with each post in Alabama and to solicit their contributions to the extent of one dollar for eacn member, and that this money be forwarded to the proper au- thorities to be used in starting this school in the fall, and,
 Be it further resolved, That we agree to use our best personal efforts toward acuuainting the people of Alabama with the importance of this institution ana it's need in this state, and that we as individuals aid in every way possible the collection of the necessary money to secure the state appropriation in time for the opening of the school this fall.
