LOCAL OPTION BILL PASSED
ADOPTED BY ALABAMA LEGIS-
LATURE AMID EXCITEMENT.
Hundreds of kilograms Received by
Members in Their Seats. Women
Crowded the Galleries.


MONTGOMERY.-By a vote of
SO to A the house of representa-
tives this afternoon passed the Parks
local option bill after a debate last
ing five hours. AS the senate is
known to be overwhelmingly in ia
vor of local option bill it is be-
lieved the Parks bill will be rushed
through that body and become a law
before the end of next week. This
does not mean that the state will
be thrown open to the sale of liquor
Immediately, for the Parks bill was
so amended today as to make it in
operative until regulation measures
to accompany it are enacted.
During the discussion the CALLER
les of the house were crowded to suf-
location by local optionists and pro-
hibitionists, and the lobby between
the two halls of the Legislature was
filled with lobbyists and leading men
from all parts of the state. Many
women were in the throng. In the
gallery was the wife and daughter of
Governor O'Neil, both deeply inter-
ested in the measure, which repre-
sents the governors views on the
liquor question.
Throughout the long debate tele-
graph messengers followed each 9TH
er hurriedly to the floor of the house
bearing kilograms to the various
members to vote against the Parks
bill or for it. One member, Mr..
Griffin of Cullman, got 100 teIe-
grams at one time.
Speaker AlmOn opened the discus
sion for his dispensary bill on mo-
ton to substitute it for the Parks
bill. He argued against the re-es-
Enlistment of the open saloon, and
said his bill would promote sobriety,
peace and concord and carry out the
wishes of the democratic convention
which nominated Governor O'Neil.
The motion was lost lost by a vote of
sc to At.
There were a number of speeches
on both sides.
The Parks bill provides that As
per cent of the number that voted
for the governor can petition for an
election on the question of wet or
dry. II wet, then an election is
ordered on the question of saloon or
dispensary.
The county is the unit and no I'M
incorporated town or city and no
town not having a policeman or town
marshal can have a saloon or dis
pensary. The bill also provides for
distilleries and breweries.

HOBBLE SKIRT ISN'T IN TT.
Adaptation of Turkish Trousers Now
Creating Interest in London.

Adaptation of Turkish Trousers Now
Creating Interest in London.
We Americans thought the hobble
skirt, when it first made it's appear
ance; one of the most hideous crea-
tons under the sun, but that par
ticular article, dear to the hearts of
certain fashion-Ioving, sense-defying
women, isn't in it with the harem
skirt. which of late has been seen in
London. AS the name indicates il
is an adaptation of the Turkish wo-
mems trousers to the hobble skirt.
An artist wh0 is an adept on fem
mine fashions declares it is safe to
predict a short inglorious career for
the new skirt, as its lines defy every
known law of beauty.
Nevertheless a firm exhibiting the
harem skirts is attracting half of
FEMININE London to its show rooms.
Mere men inveigh against the in
noVation, hoping women will not
meekly submit to the tyranny of
fashion, for, quite apart from any
thing else, the derivation of this new
fashion, so clearly indicated by it's
name, should be enough to set wo-
men against it in these stirring times
OF struggle for woman's rights.
1t suggests the customs of a conn
try where the women go about with
Yelled faces and are valued accord
ing to their weight.

LOSS OF CONVICT HIRE
STATES RECEIPTS SHY S1SS.145
FROM THAT SOURCE.
Nigh Beer Makes Up Part of 1t

Locker Club Licenses, Automobile
Registration and Increase in the
Fertilizer Fees Also Help to Part
ly Make Up the Shortage.
ATLANTA.-In a statement COM
piled by Assistant State Treasurer
Ben Perry some interesting facts
are shown regarding the states re-
ceipts for 1909 and 1910.
For instance, the report shows that
the receipts for 1909 were $685.
1852 more than for 1910. The
loss Of convict hire accounts for prac-
cally all of this decrease, the state
receiving $184.891.O5 from that
source in 1909, and nothing what
ever in 1910. The general taxes last
year fell off $3,572.42; poll taxes
$33,453.27; railroad taxes $63 =
5000, and sales from the reports
of the supreme court. $2,S56.62.
On the other hand 1910 shows
some interesting increases over
1909. The growth of the automo-
bile business is indicated by an in
crease of S., 660.96 in auto dealers
taxes. That the sale of the deadly
cigarette is also on the increase is
indicated by an increase of $3,315
in taxes collected from dealers.
The popularity of the moving pic
ture shows is shown by an increase
of 81, 260 from this source. Fees
from fertilizer, food and oil inspec-
ton increased $12,355.70.
The near beer and locker club
/ business is growing, too. Near beer
brought in $16,315.91 more last
year than in 1909, while lockers and
liquor taxes increased $500. Soft
drink makers paid $1,263.3O more.
Fees from the office of the secretary
of state increased $3.339.85, due
mainly from the automobile bust
ness. Circuses paid $3,O47.50 more
into the state treasury. Dogs and
| tobacco tags furnished a new source
: of revenue. From CANNES came
$35, 1880, and tobacco tags $3.50.
The state treasury brought over
January 1, 1909, $486,157.S9, and
January 1, 1910, $61S.923.85. So
it will be seen that the heaviest loss
to the state came through wiping
out the convict lease system, but in
creases from other sources almost
wipe out this loss.

CHINA YIELDS TO
RUSSIA'S DEMAND
Will Garry Out Provisions of Treaty
of 1881, Long Denied By
Picking,

Picking, March 21.-China is not pre-
pared to antagonize Russia completely,
and as Il result of prolonger conferences
the China foreign office Monday assur-
ed the Russian minister, NJ. Korostovetz,
that China would acquesce unreserved-
y to the demands made in the Russian
ultimatum concerning the provisions of
the treaty of 1881. Russia insisted up.
on answer before Tuesday.
1t is generally considered that there
was no alternative course, in view of
China S utter unpreparedness for war
Intense interest is being manifested
in the attitude of Japan, which is oh.
more powerful than ever at Picking.
While the issues between China and
Russia have been almost obliterated by
the recent series of ultimatums, and,
theoretically, insufficient cause for oc-
cupation exists, Russia apparently fears
that she could obtain only paper prom
Uses which the Chinese would not OBJ
serve until intimidated Russians here
point out that they have less now in
the way of concessions from China
than when the treaty was signed.
Some sections of the legislation quar-
ter ridicule Russia for not following in
the first instance the recent example
set by Great Britain in occupying ter
ritory awaiting Chinese readiness to
discuss the contested points. But it
is recognized that Russia, by failing to
do this, has shown that she does not
possess aggressive designs.
The Chinese newspaper, which are
utterly ignorant of the foreign affairs,
are hostile to Great Britain, which they
accuse of beginning the present land
grab, and they prophesy that both Jap
an and France will not be long in fol
lowing suit.

IDAHO.

Idaho has more than doubled its pop
ulation during the past decade, accord
ing to the last census report. The in
crease is 1913 per cent, a larger gain
than is credited to any other state of
the Union, with two exceptions, Okla
homa and Washington.
The report shows the greatest popula-
tion gains to have been made in the
new irrigated sections of the extreme
south and southwest and in the mining
sections of the north, The greatest
numerical increase i'll population is in
the northern part, but the south-central
section of the state leads in percentage
increase, with a growth of 207 per cent
The southwestern division of the state
has increased 100 per cent; the north

IS SILAGE GOOD FOR SWINE?
Testimony on Its Value Conflicting,
Both Favorable and Unfavorable
Reports Made.

The testimony concerning the value
of silage as food for swine is con-
ficting. both favorable and unfavor-
able reports being at hand. Many
farmers have tried feeding it to their
hogs, but without success.
On the other hand, a number Of
hograisers have had good success
with silage. and feed it regularly to
their swine. 1t Is possible that the
difference in the quality of the silage
and of the methods of feeding prac-
tised explain the diversity of opinions
formed concerning silage as hog food.
Col F. D. Curtiss, the great Amer
lean authority on the swine industry,
states that silage Is valuable to add to
the winter rations of swine. j. w.
Pierce of Indiana writes in regard to
silage for hogs:
I'VE have fed our sows, about TWEEN
ty-five in number, for four winters
equal parts of ensilage and corn meal
put into cooker and brought up to a
steaming state. 1t has proved to be
very beneficial to them. It keeps ur
the flow of milk Of the sows that are
nursing the young, equal to when they
are running on clover. We find, too
when the pigs are narrowed, they be
come more robust and take to nursing
more sooner and better than they did
in winters when fed on an exclusively
dry diet. We also feed it to our sheep
To sixty head we put out about ST,
