 4 GRAND SOCIAL SESSION By Birmingham's Best People
 On Earth. HUN DREDs OF GUESTS Royalty Entertained By Benevolent Protective Order of Elks In Their Sumptuous 2 Quarters Last Night.

They are the Best People On Earth. Who? The Benevolent Protective Order of Elks.
 c This was demonstrated last night by the magnificent reception accorded the hundreds of friends of Birmingham lodge in their sumptuous quarters.
 Much interest had been manifested in last night social session, and much pleasure had been anticipated by the hundreds of friends of the members.
 Their expectations were fully realized as last nights social session was by far the most enjoyable in the history of the local organization. a
 Judge w. P. McCrossin was grand master of ceremoHfes and all passed off in delightful order under his direction.
 Grambs' celebrated orchestra was pres ent and ths finest selections were rem dered under his direction in style worthy the great Soussa or Gilmore.
 There were vocal and instrumental solos by local celebrities, recitations etc, and refre shments were served with a lavishness prcWerbial with the Elks.
 Mine Host Louis Schillinger had fully fortified the larder for a sudden and tre- mendous onslaught, and was amply pre- pared to resist the charge.
 One of the most pleasing and agreed ble events of the evening was the pre- sentation by Grand Master of Ceremonies McCrossin to Prof. and Bro. Fred L. Grambs of a magnificent baton, gltt of Love and Respect." from the Elks. Judge McCrossin's words were sublimely beautiful and the presentation was most happy surprise to the recipient.
 Prof Grambs is one of the oldest mem bers of Birmingham lodge and has al ways been ready to respond at the bld- ding of the lodge whenever his efficient services were required. He was taken completely by surprise and was utterly unable to respond.
 The baton is of beautiful ebony, and as a head piece has an elegant silver Elk s head the antlers representing the let ters, ''B. P. o. E." A silver band has the inscription. Prof Grambs was justly prcTd of the baton and says he will prize it as one of the most valued of his pos sessions next to his wife and little ones.
 The grand lodge Knights of Pythias officers were guests of the Elks and en- jofed the evening with the many others present.
 Long live the Elks, and may their ant lers increase in the land.

AFTER A CENTURY
Of Wrangling Venezuela and Great Britain Again Join Hands-The Ar
 bitration Treaty Signed By
 Pauncefote and Andrade. -G

Washington, Feb. 2.-The Anglo-Ven- ezuelan arbitration treaty was signed by Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British arn- bassador, and Senor Jose Andrade, the Venezuelan minister, in the office of Sec retary Olney at the state department at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon, signalizing the amicable termination of controversy that has lasted nearly century as well as the resumption of diplomatic negotia- tions between two countries which had been suspended for ten years. ~
 The British ambassador, accompanied by MT. Henry Outram, Bax-Ironside, att tache of the embassy. reached the depart ment just before 2 o'clock and few mo- ments later the Venezuelan minister ap- peared with MT. Manuel M. Ponte, Jr., secretary of the legation, and MT. James J. Storrow, the counsel of Venezuela be- fore the commission and the arbitral tribunal. Senor Andrade brought with him a magnificent pen, with which the important document was subsequently signed. It was sent to him by his brother, who it is universally conceded will be the next president of the Vene- zuelan republic, and to whom It will be returned as a souvenir. It consisted of a gold pen fastened in a holder made from an eagles bill, bearing midway from it's tip gold heart thickly ornamented with diamonds.
 While the two plenipotentiaries were formally exchanging their credentials the copies of the treaty, which was printed, were carefully prepared by MT. Bax-1ron- side and MT. Cridler, chief of the diplo- matic bureau of the state department, who had made all the drafts of the docu- ment and printed the copies. These were in the English language, Spanish not be- ing used, although the tongue of vene- zuela. the only difference being that in the Venezuelan copy, that country is mentioned always first and the British vice versa. The British ambassador signed Julian Pauncefote' to both copies Senor Andrade following. affixed his signature and MT. Cridler affixed their respective seals. The formalities having been quickly completed, there was a general exchange of congratulations which were pressed upon Secretary Olney with particular cordiallty. and before o'clock the negotiators had returned to their official residences. = a-rf rsa

 IN THE SENATE.
 The senate, too, manifested keen inter est in the bill this morning, after the dis 'posal of grlst of routine matters, mostly local in, their nature. The consideration was undertaken section by section, and a number of amendments which were in- tefrupted by adjournment yesterday af- ternoon, consumed much time and caused many ballots.
 E But the author of the bill evidently had a working majority in sympathy with 1t and experienced little serious opposition \ in perfecting his measure.
 One test vote was taken upon the mo- tion of MT. Deans, of Shelby, that each political party be represented in the per sonnel of the railroad commission, which resulted ayes, B. noes, IT.
 Senator Case, of DeKalb. offered an amendment that after two years the com missioners shall be elected by the people.
 Senator Boykin accepted this amend ment and urged and urged its adoption. Senator Moody opposed the amendment in speech in which he said the bill, if passed, would destroy competition and paralyze the development of the state. At 1920 this afternoon the secretary finished the third reading of the bill, as amended, whereupon President Sayre announced that under the rules. the sem ate stood adjourned until 3:30 o'clock; so a vote was unintentionally prevented on final passage at the morning session.
 The senate spent the entire afternoon session in the consideration, seria tum, of Senator Abercrombie's bill proposing new code of public school laws for Ala bama. The bill is voluminous and is be- ing given very careful consideration by the senate,

 Gambling in it's legal as we'll as popular signification, includes bets and wagers such as the act refers to. Whether or not such gambling" Is punishable as a criminal offense of couse depends upon the phraseology of the gaming statutes. The act is none the less gambling" in the eyes of the law, because the statute does not make it criminal offense. The leglsla ture in the exercise of It's wide dis cretion, may punish some species or gaming or gambling by penal enactment because of It's injury to morals. etc.. and yet not make such provisions for the other acts which are fewer in number and less detrimental; but the act of gam bling" which is not punished crimnally amenble only to the civil law. One of the most pernicious forms of gambling is "speculating in futures" on margins, and settling differences only. It has been the source of great injury 10 moralS ana been the theme of widespread phihppics against gambling" both in the press, pulpit, courts and legislative halls-but 1t is not criminal offense. Would any one say that such practice was not included in the word gambling because It has not heretofore been made the subject of a penal statute? Would any one be sur prised to find provision against It. un- der the title of an act for the better sup pression of gan1bling?" Clearly it would be included in the spirit, terms and title of such an act. So, too, of the offenses now punished criminally by the present act.
 It will be noted that the word gam bling" is not found at all in our criminal code. That code uses the term "gam- bler'' only once, and that in section 4047. Wherever it makes provision for such acts of gambling" as it deems worthy of criminal punishment. 1t uses the word game or gaming. The civil code, how ever, speaks of gambling and wagering contracts" sections 1742-1743. The acts made offenses by the present statute are already made "gambling contracts'' un- der the code; and the act in question sim ply extends the criminal law over them. It was urged In the court below that be- cause our law-makers had not used the word gambling in its penal statutes heretofore. but only the word gaming"
