stump Against Amendment.
The Hm which Provides for Election
to Submit Amendment to the
Constitution to Come
Up To-day.

II was comparatively easy sailing for
the constitutional prohibition amend
ment in the committee chambers yes
terady morning, when, after a session
of less than an hour, the bill providing
for Q popular election for the amend
ment was returned with favorable
report to the House, together with the
proposed club law Of Representative
Tarrant. of Birmingham.
In the chamber of the Temperance
Committee yesterday morning, only
one outsider appeared to protest. Leon
McCord, leader Of the Safe and Sane"
movement. protested against the favor
able report.
He declared that II the measure went
to the people, he would be out on the
stump fighting IT. before 1t went to
issue.
One OF the Committee members, Rep
resentative Perry Edwards of WASH
ington County, spoke against the con-
stitutional amendment, and cast his
vote against the favorable report.
The two foremost ADVOCATES in the
Committee chamber were Representa-
tive Fuller. Of Bibb. and Representa-
tive Pitts. of Perry.
Several of the members were absent.
one, at least, of whom, Representative
Stollenwerck. of Montgomery, having
announced his intention beforehand
that he would vote against the favor
able report. Even with the absence,
the poll of the Committee was not
unanimous for lending its endorsement
to the bill. Three members of the
Committee voted against the favorable
report.
The bill providing for the election to
submit the amendment to the constitu-
ton, was reported favorably to the
nj the calendar for
a third reading, to come up probably
today.
Anticipate Fight.
The fight that will accompany the
constitutional amendment proposition
In the House will be far more heated
than that which marked the passage of
the Carmichael bill yesterday. Fore
cast of its passage in the House Is
made, however, despite the prospect of
a hght, though many there are who
declare defeat for the measure pending
in the Senate.
The second bill reported favorably
by the Temperance Committee follow
ing It's session yesterday morning was
that OF Representative Tarrsnt, of Bir-
mingham. which provides that no social

This is Carrolls second descent

Despite the reports to the con-

An Eaton Woman Steals
$I34 Kept in Can

CAUGHT IN GREELEY
Saws She Wanted Money
to Furnish New
Eaton Home

Tempted by the sight of gold
which she needed to furnish her home
and finding a way made apparently
easy for her to acquire 1924, Mrs.
Hilma Yeagy, bride of four months
and wife of Irvine Yeagy, well
respected young man of Eaton, en-
tered the residence of Harvey Sum-
merville about two weeks ago by
cutting her way through a screen
and secured the money. This was
discovered yesterday following an in
vestigation made by City Marshal
Williams, during which time he has
had Mrs. Yeagy under close surveil-
lance. Mrs. Yeagy was taken into
custody in Greeley yesterday and af-
ter some close questioning she broke
down and confessed her guilt.
Mrs. Yeagy was close friend of
the Summerville family and few
weeks ago was at the Summerville
home wi en- Mr.. Summerville brought
cut a canvas sack containing the
gold, to show his little son some of
the gold pieces. Only Mrs. Yeagy
and Mrs. Summerville knew of the
sack s hiding place and when 1t dis
appeared the woman was immediate
ly suspected. Marshal Williams re-
covered one of the gold pieces about
two days after the robbery, but kept
quiet until yesterday when some
more turned up in the city. A de-
scription of the woman was obtained
and Mrs. Yeagy. who is handsome
blonde, was arrested short time
afterwards.
When taken to the police station
Mrs. Yeagy had $3.50 in her posses
sion and this she agreed to turn
over to Mr.. Summerville. On this
agreement and the agreement to re-
turn the rest of the money that had

quired that they be rolled and he
had to pay 5 cents per hundred for
this. He adds to this that he re-
ceived 32.25 per hundred from DR..
Philips for the oats.
This same dealer is purchasing
alfalfa hay baled at from $40 to $12

of the hay he is maintaining deliv-

district and has many other minor
expenses. He estimates that 12 per
cent is fair idea of the profit he is
making.
Various grocers bring figures to
show that their profits on much of
their goods does not exceed two or
three per cent and that after gen.
eral average is struck it could not
possibly exceed 10 per cent. This fs
born out by figures brought by one
grocer, who shows an actual profit
