ViandS in Hawaiian
Alright Guests at
Dinner Given Prince

To judge by the menu, the Congress
sional party which entertained Prince
and Princess Kalanianaole at dinner
last night. a hercuIean task in the d.
gestIon line was performed. Those of
the diners who were not entirely famil-
far with the Hawaiian language were
alarmed when they were confronted
with a dish called "HumuhumunUkun-
ukUaakapuaa." The name itself was
so formidable that fears were enter
tanned that the food itself would be
equally so. but when the dish was
served it was found that the Wand was
merely a tiny fish.
Equally as startling was that which
appeared on the card under the name
or Observation-Disclosures The
diners were relieved to find that they
were to be served with a small cup Of
black coffee.
The dinner was rendered to the prince
and princess by the Congressman and
their wives who visited the islands last
spring and who were entertained there
by the Congressional delegate from
Hawaii

GOVERNOR WILL NOT
 RETURN UNTIL MONDAY
Has EvIneed But Little Concern in Railroad Hearing During
 This Week.

Governor Conner and the other mem bers of the State High School Board did not return to the Capitol yester- day afternoon. Auditor Brandon and Superintendent of EdMcation Harry C.. Gunnells will arrive from Birmingham this morning and Governor Cofner will remain in Birmingham until Monday. The Governor has evidenced but lit- tie concern in the outcome or conduct of the railroad cases now in progress fin the Federal Court. The office of the chief executive has been represented in the court. however. in the person of Hon. William E. Fort, privateI sec retary to the Governor. Mir. Fort has been an interested spectator, not only because he is interested in the outcome of the contests as a State officer, but also as a young attorney who is ann bitious to the extent of familiarizing himself with as much of the law as possible.
 So far as is known at the Capitol at present Governor Conner will be in his ofice all of next week. The appoint rnent of registrars will be one of the duties devolving upon him soon.

Provides that No Unsted states Court Shall Have Power to Issue Tem- pornry Injunction Against
 Rate Statutes.

waabtneton Ian. i7.--A bill designed to nreyent federal interference witn state rate statutes during the pendency Sn triaIs was introduced In the House today by Mfr. Hackney of Missouri.
 Tt provides that no Circuit or Dis trict Court of the United States snail have power to issue any temporary writ or oder restraining any state officials, boards or. commissions Irom enforcing any statute of the State pend ing Federal litigation to determine the validity or constitutionality of that statute or shall have the power to is- sue any order restraining such oti- ciaIs or boards from enforcing their tudahnents or decisions rendered by State authority pending Federal hti- Ration, The bill also aims to facili. tate Federal hearings in cases involv- ing State laws and provides for the right of appeal from Federal decisions without requirement of bcpd.
 The House Cofnmittee On Patents. through Mf. Hinshaw of Nebraska, to- day reported favorably the Dalzsll biii. which bestows on the United States Court of Claims the power to consider claims by inventors for compensation on account of patents appropriated by the Government without trecompense tot the patentees in cases where con trActs were not entered into. The court If claims has held that a claim thus arising is tort and that 1t has no ju- risdiction over torts. A bill similar was passed by the Senate at the last session and was favorably reported to the House. but on account of the inc clusion of a retroactive clause as an amendment the measure failed of pass age by the House.

Paris Jan. f7---1n the face of the growing fanaticism of the Moors in favor of Mulai Hand, the position of France in Morocco is increasingly diff fcult. Appreh hensions are cropping out that perhaps France may have been backing the wrong horse and that ft would be peter to accept Mulai Hand if he does not repudiate the Algeciras act. At any rate the government Is now marking time. awatining develop ments. Active French support Of Ab- del-Aziz, which under present condi- tions only inJure his cause with the Moors in the interior. will not De with drawr and a position of nominal neutrality win be assumed.
 As an evidence of this shift of poll icy. the foreign office has taken pains to point out today that the attack at SettaI Jan. IS upon a Moorish column commanded by Muiai Rachid was in re- aiity not directed against Mulaf Hafid. but only R step fin the general policy of building the zone of pacification around Casa Blanca. Mulai Rachid is one of Hafd's confidants. and in this engagement the French under General D'Amade gained 8 splendid victory. To- day the general telegraphs that the Moors lost 150 killed and had 300 wounded in this enga agement and that the disposal of Mulai iRachid's force has cut of Mulai Hafid's route to Fez. Should Mulai Hafd execute his threat to go to Casa Blanca to light the French. General p'Amade would take the defensive; but if attacked France might be compelled net only to de- fend herself. but. as the mandatory of Europe. to attack the Moors. Sucn a course might force the French gov ernment to appeal to the signatories Of the Algeciras pact for an extension of her power
 Spain will fulfill her share of the du- ties in the matter of policing the port of Morocco, but she will not go fur ther.
 In view of> the severe ighting at settaI two days ago. M. Jaures, the So- ciaIist der, attempted to renew his interpolation in the Cbsmber of Dep uties today. He insisted that the coun- try should be informed if the attack upon what he called Mulai Hafid's ad- vance guard meant that France was siding with Abdel-Aziz.
 Foreign Minister Pichon in reply ex- plaihe0 that General D'Amade's in- structions like those given to Gen erai Drude his predecessor, were to restore order in the region about Easa Blanca. to protect Europeans and to punish the tribes that had participat- ed in the pillage of Casa Blanca.
 The Chaouia tribesmen were found and punished regardless of whose par tisans they were. Our policy. which has been approved by the powerss re- mains unchanged" M. Pichon declared in conclusion.
 The foreign minister's motion to nostpone M Jaures' interpolation to Jan. 24 was then passed by S67 votes to 1s7. N

 Mrs. Force was seen tonight ana stated that there <Gas not the slight- est truth IT, the Iepcrt<and that sne had not even considered resigning the cfaee nor had she contemplated ooing ss ik the future.

 Mrs. Force has been post master m Selma for twehty-tgo years. Sne saio during that time she had tried hard to please the people. One of the req sons which would keep her from re- signing, she said. was the urgent need of the salary which was attached to the oflice.
