STLH0UETTES OF STATE CAPITAL.
fsTATE CAPIrAL-RUREAUl

$ MONTGOMERY, Feb. 5.-Reports of tree tax being levied on satsuma groves are entirely erroneous, accord ing to Judge I. l.. Herzberg, chairman of the state tax commission. Judge Herzberg stated today that where sat suma groves are planted on land for merly improved the value of the land is naturally increased, but there is no tax of 50 much per tree, as has been claimed in some quarters.
 "We realize that the satsuma indus- try is an asset to Alabama, and be- lieve that it should be encouraged" Judge Herzberg stated. At the same time we cannot ignore the readily in- creased value of land which follows the planting of satsuma trees"
 Judge Herzberg stated that there have been cases of owners of satsuma groves attempting to have the land as- sessed at from $4 to $6 and $7 per acre.
 The honor of having the first Un- derwood W0man's club in Alabama is claimed by \ Limestone county. Sena- tor George Duncan, who was a viaitor to the capital today, stated that Lime stone county women effected their or ganization to boost Underwood for the presidency before the Montgomery county organization was formed. Mrs. Duncan was elected to head the Lime stone county club. &
 N Activities of labor agents seeking to entice workers away from Alabama has visibly diminished since the passage of the drastic law aimed avowedly to abol- lature, according to Walter K. Mo Adory, chief of the state law enforce ment department. A number of con- victions have been secured under the law and Chief McAdory stated that so far as he knows no agent has qualified under it's provisions to. legally do busi- ness in Alabama. Any labor agent business now carried on is in the ma ture of a bootleg traffic.

 Not to be outwitted, the yeggs en- deavored to drill into the thick wall of cement and place another charge, but were unsuccessful They next went to the home of Mir. J. s. Pruett, mer- chant, and stole a new Studebaker car, in which they left for HurtsbOro, To- cated in Russell county, about IS miles distant, where they completed their nights work by robbing a store of some clothing and small articles. The car was found wrecked several miles outside of Hurtsboro and at last reports there were no clues to the parties. The Midway bank was the scene of an attempted robbery some ten years ago, when charge of explosive blew the large safe over backwards against the wall, at such an angle, that it bounded back and fell forward on the face, where it was in a most effective burglar proof situation. H. l.. King, owner of the bank, declares he will place sign on the safe. informing '.inl terested parties" that it is no use to rob his safe. Judging from the history of the past, the bank is safely burglar proof. at least until the science of safe cracking. makes further progress. There is no clue to the burglars.
