KNOX IS ELIGIBLE,
So HOUSE DECIDES
AFTER SECOND BALLOT UNDER
AMENDED RULES HOUSE RE-
MOVES BAN ON CABINET JOB
BY VOTE OF 173 To III.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-By a vote OF
lI75 10 III the house has passed the bill
removing the bar TO Senator Knox's ELI
Ribility for the office OF secretary Of
state.
This was the second vote on this meas
ure and the two were separated only by
about two hours time. The first vote was
taken on the bill under general order for
the suspension of the rules, and under
that order. according TO the standing
rules OF the house. a bill must receive
two-thirds majority to insure its pas
sage.
The first vote stood 179 to 12S. the ma
jority thus falling considerably below the
two-thirds requirement.
Immediately after this result was an
nounced, the house committee on rules
held a meeting, which resulted in Mr..
Dalzelrs bringing in a rule making IL In
order for the house to again take up the
bill and act upon Il, under conditions
which should require only majority vote
10 pass it.
Running Fight Made
The opponents of the measure did not
cease their antagonism. which, on the
previous consideration, had brought out
number OF sharp criticisms, but immedi-
ately demanded a roll call on the pre-
vious question on the adoption of the
rule. This call consumed twenty-five min
utes, and after the rule had been adopted,
the debate was resumed.
Mr.. Olmstead, OF Pennsylvania, con-
tan ded that the bill does not accomplish
an evasion OF the constitution. Among
several other precedents, Mr.. olmstead
cited the case of Senator Morrill,, Of YER
mont, who was appointed secretary OF the
treasury.
In the opinion OF Mr.. Williams, OF Mis-
sissippi. who opposed the bill. that was
the only reputable authority alluded to.
Senator Morrill,, he said had been con-
frmed through senatorial courtesy, which,
be said. "overrides all bars. constitutional
and otherwise
The bill. he declared, was clear
plain. palpable. obvious and manifest
case Of a direct and expressed constitu-
tional inhibition
Champ Clark Retorts
Mr.. Clark, of Missouri. for the second
time during the day. took the floor in
opposition to the bill, and said that con-
gress was making itself "the laughing
stock of every intelligent man on the face
of Gods green earth"
He referred to a famous expression by
the late Tim Campbell. of New York, who
had asked what's the constitution be-
tween friends?" and said that IL the bill
under discussion should pass, Mr.. Camp
bel would stand justified as a constitu-
tional lawyer.
In adding his voice against the bill,
Mr.. Caulield. of Missouri. declared that II
was a case Of constitutional jugglery, or
Legislative favoritism.
The debate was brought to close by
Mr.. DeArmond, OF Missouri, who argued
for the passage Of the bill.
On a yea and nay vote, the bill was
lpassed, l73 TO III.
The bin passed by the house is the
one which had been previously passed by
the senate. 1t was not amended, and it
will not. therefore. be necessary for II to
60 20 conference. The measure requires
only the signature Of the president to
make Il a law.

AMERICANS SAVED
FROM THEATREF|RE
DISPATCH RECEIVED FROM
AMERICAN CONSUL AT AGA
PUFCO, MEXICO, SAYS THAT
NO AMERICANS WERE BURNED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.--No Americans
lost their lives in the fire which destroyed
the Flores theatre at Acapulco, Mexico,
Sunday night according to dispatch receiv
ed at the state department today from
American Consul Maxwell X. Moorehead.
over two hundred people were burned
to death. according to Consul Moorehead.
Wires Burned Out
The news of the disaster only reached
Mexico City yesterday afternoon, tele-
graphic communication with Acapulco
having been destroyed owing to the fact
that the telegraph office adjoining the
theatre was burned and all the wires
put out OF commission.
The floor of the theatre was a wooden
affair, and last night over 1000 people
crowded into it to witness a special per-
formance given in honor OF Governor De-
milan Flores, of the state of Guerro, who
was visiting the port at the time.
One of the numbers of the program
consisted of a series of moving pictures.
While the operator was exhibiting them
a film caught fire and a blaze was quick
ly communicated to some bunting which
had been used for decorative purposes.
In an incredibly short time the flames
spread to all parts Of the structure.
There were but three narrow exits and
the panic-stricken audience rushed to
these, many falling and being crushed to
death, their bodies choking the way to
escape to others. f.

BLIND TIGERS HAVE
TROUBLE IN MACON

MACON, Ca, Feb. 15.-
The cops have pulled her claws,
Deputies have boxed her jaws
Till the Tiger is a very forlorn
Beast
oh, Her Majesty, the Law,
May be suffring with some flaws,
But she's on the job in Macon here
at least.
If you doubt it, ask the Man. He'll
tell you that peddling contraband goods
in the Central city these days is lot
harder than smuggling Chinks across
the Canadian line, or passing bogus
money upon an officer in q u. s. mint.
The last three days in Macon have
turned topsy-turvey the Illicit traffic in
fire-water, and places that may have
passed a few over a month ago are
now keeping low and well behind the
covers.
The latest edict from police head
quarters is that the window shades at
all the near-beer places must be kept
we'll up, so that a passerby may see
what's going on. The police have doped
it out this way: one is supposed to
get nothing stronger than near-beer in
a near-beer place. Near-beer isn't in
toxicating, so the drinker should have
no real reason to be ashamed to be
seen by a person passing along the
street.
That 10 ,ne logic that the department
has brought to bear, and it is already
having results.
Within the last few days an up
heavaI has been caused in parts OF the
city, and unless one knows the pass
word, how to shake hands with the
bartender and how to crook his finger
across the bar, it is impossible to get
anything stronger than a .O007 per
cent drink 1t may not be really that
bad, but it's coming to that. The
dealers are wondering why.
There has been no special crusade
planned in the open against the dealers
nor has the list of DRINKS at. police
station multiplied in such astounding
numbers to propel the department to
action The only way 1T can be sized
up is that it is a natural movement
and the authorities wish to break up
| the practice before Macon can get a
bad name,

LONDON. Jan. H.-Realizing that at his
age he cannot expect to carry the bur-
den of the Salvation Army on his Shout
ders for many years longer, Gen. Booth
has now made all arrangements that his
son, VIM. Bramwell Booth. shall be his
successor.
Little is heard of the "Chief of the
Staff''-to give Bramwell Booth his off,
cial title. With uncommon modesty and
self-effacement he has kept himself in the
background and left the limelight to his
father. As a matter of fact for many
years now he has been the man behind
the Salvation Army.
He has a wonderful combination of
gifts, seeming to have his fathers 'shrewd

ganization and the deep sympathy and
ability for reading character of his

MACON TO MAKE PAPER
FROM OKRA FIBER

MACON. Ga. Feb. Ian interesting meet
ing OF the chamber Of commerce was held
yesterday afternoon. at which time Mr.. John
T.. Moore presented samples Of the first Pc
per made from okra fiber. and steps were
taken to organize a COMPANY for the purposa
Of erecting a bag paper mill in Macon. Five
tons OF okra will make three tons Of the
very highest Grade paper. and one acre OF
ground will produce fully five tons OF Okra.
At that rate the possibilities OF the product
can be seen. and II means that the farmers
OF this section will be able TO make more from
okra than from cotton. The paper question
Is no doubt solved now. as a crop OF okra
can be grown every year. while Il would take
the trees planted years and years 20 reach a
maturity sufficient for them 70 be profitable
for paDer manufacture.
The people OF Macon are highly elated over
the outlook and Il Is thought that IL will
become one OF the leading industries Of this
section. The price now being paid for news
paper. for instance. can be reduced 10 pee
cent and the paper mill can. still be operated
at a big profit end the okra can be grown
at a profit in PROPORTION After the crop
Is planted there Is no further work about II
