Decatur. March 2S.-(Speeial)-For many years there has resided near Dan vile. this county, a poor family by the name of Huff The family consisted of MT and Mrs. Huff and several children.
 Mike Huff. one of the sons, like many eNother boy, was not fond of farmwork and disliked doing the numerous chores that are required of a boy on the farm.

SENATE STATEHOOD
 BILL IS |NDORSED
Senator Beveridge Makes His
 Report in Matter
HOT FIGHT PREDICTED
Reyeridge Proposes to Put in New Elec- ton Law Which the Democrats Will Oppose SOlidly in
 the House

Washington. March 2S.-Senator beNer- idee today presented to the Senate lhe report of the committee on territones' favoring the Senate bill in preference to that passed by the House for the adihls- sion of New Mexico and Arizona as sep arate states.
 The report defends the changes mace 5y the Senate committee in vigorous lah- guage. especial emphasis being given 10 the refusal of the Senate bill to recos- nize the election laws of Arizona
 The effect of the law, it is charged would be to disfranchise a large number of the.m most substantial residents of the territory. because of their inability to ln- terpret the constitution of the United States in English. The House bill would make the present Arizona law the test of qualification for citizens to vote. IL IS favored by democrats in both Houses ana probably will ongender the hottest hgh' of any of the provisions.
 Rerublicans in Arizona contend that its recognition would make the proposed new state O. Arizona certainly democratic, and would handicap those republicans in the territory to such an extent they would not feel inclined to make any fight at all for political control of the new state.
 Another decided difference between the Senate and House bill Is the requirement in ibe former that separate elctions must be held for the ratification of the con- stifutlons. and for the selection of state and other offices.
 +ho lates to polygamy and bigamy, of which Senator Beveridge says in his report:
 '"rhe House bill would permit the prac- tice of polygamy and bigamy notwith- standing the various prohibitions placed thereon.''
 The requirements of the Senate bill that the constitutions of the proposed states must be approved by the present Congress is defended by Senator Bever- idge as a measure of justice and safety. The same requirement was made in con- neetion with the admission to statehood of Louisiana, Alabama and Texas.
 Striking features of the Senate bill are the restrictions thrown about the dispo- siton of public lands and the appropria ton of 100000 acres to each territory for the payment of county railroad bonds that already have validated by an act of Congress. The House bill appropriates 100000 acres to each terri tory, and contemplates the payment of all bonds outstanding. The Senate bill would withdraw to the government of the saline lands of New Mexico.
 According to the Senate bill, the schools in the new states must be conducted in English. The provision of the House bill that this requirement should not prevent the teaching of Spanish was eliminated The intent of the Senate measure is to create an English-speaking population, so that there will be no need in future gen. erations for an English test as an eec- ton qualification. v

DEVELOPMENTS IN
 ST. CLAIR POLITICS

Pell City. March 2S.-(Special.)-A deu- bic sensation was sprung Saturday in political circles in St. Clair county at the joint meeting of the republican and populist parties held at Odenville. These two committees declined to go into nomi- nation cf fusion candidates and. acting With the many independents who were present, finally passed resolution call ing for 6 series of mass meetings to be held ct the voting place in each beat in the county on April 9 At these meet ings delegates will be chosen to a county mass meeting to be held at Odenville on May j4 This action now means that the fight is on in earnest from now till No- vembcr. .flasD
 Following immediately upon the an- nouncenent of the secretaries of the two committees, Sumter Cogswell of Pell City, one of the leading candidates for probate judge on the democratic primary, withdrew from the race for the demo- cratic nomination, and his friends have announced him as a candidate for the usiOn-independent nomination. In statement issued to the public, MT. Cogs- we'll says that his decision was made with the full knowledge that he had a splendid chance to win in the democratic primary, tuL that it was impossible for him to fight tie popular movement that has been started, as he recognizes that the men behind this movement, without regard to party, have the best interests of the county at heart. In concluding his state ment to the press, Mir Cogswell added that he would rather be disappointed in his ambition to be the fusion nominee than to be elected probate judge on the democratic ticket.
 MT. Cogswells withdrawal from the pri- mary ncw leaves only three contestants for this position-two from Ashville and one from Riverside. It is expected that what strength does not follow MT. Cogs- well into the mass meetings will line up soidly behind John G. Marbury of River side, which will practically make him the winner, as matters now stand.

Political Activity in steel City

The closing week of the campaign in Ensley gives promise of being exceed ingly lively. The friends and workers of the various candidates have cleared the decks for action and the battle royal is now on. While many extravagant claims are being made by partisan workers, the prevailing opinion seems to be that the vote will be much divided. The old say ing that politics makes strange bed fellows is being exampified in the Steel City, and whlom political enemies are to be seen hobnobbing together. It is as- serted that the Ensley box will poll the largest vote of any box in the county and consequently the candidates are straining every effort to capture the plum. Indications point to a most exciting finish, especially in the race for sheriff.
