NEGRO TREASURE
 SEEKER ARRESTD

". P. Smith, a very large yellow ne- gro. was arrested yesterday and con- fined in the county jail on q charge of false pretense. The warrants against Smith were sworn out by a number of Woodlawn negroes who claimed that Smith swinded them out of quite large amount of their worldly goods. The meth od of Smiths procedure is almost beyond belief, if the alleged laziness of the negro race is taken into consideration.
 The negroes who swore out the war rants for the arrest claim that Smith would go around at night and dig holes in the ground, presumably hunting for buried treasure. When telling about his work to the other negroes, Smith would say that he met with fine success and dug up whole bucket full of money He would carry suitcase with him in his nocturnal visits and would return with money in it. The other negroes became interested in his manner of mak- ing a living and financed his scheme. A, a result they claim that Smith has money in his suitcase which rightfully belongs to them. The case against Smith will come up in the police court some time this week.

SWEET POTATO ROT
Investigation Into Subject Is Made
 in Baldwin County

Bay Minette, December 26.-(Special0 investigation in the matter of the rot reported to be injuring the sweet po- tatoes of this county, has proven that in every case where they have rotted it has been the direct result of their being bruised or of improper handling on the part of the farmer after they had been taken from the ground. IL has been found that during the sweat ing period of the potato, after it's re- moval from the ground, many of the farmers permitted them to remain In great piles where they became heated to such an extent that rot was eer- tain to follow. Some have been found to have smothered them in bedding and caused them to rot. It has also been ascertained that instead of being a soft rot, as first reported it was a matter of fermentation which looked like q mould caused from the smotherng of the tuber.

SUGGESTION MEETS
 WITH OPPOSITION
Proposed To Move -Head- quarters of Clearing House
 for Bills of Lading Abroad

New York, December 26. = Suggestions recently made by European cotton buyers and their bankers that headquarters of the so-called international clearing house for cotton bills of lading be moved from this city to Liverpool is meeting with opposition. Most of the cotton carriers and at least two big banking houses ob- ject to such a procedure.
 American bankers profess to see in the possible change an attempt by foreigners to bring Americans to the point where they last year baked, that is, opposing absolutism of acceptance. It is also pointed out the transfer would mean a large expense in cable tolls, which prob ably would be borne at this end of the line.
 The whole thing is said to be another way of asking us to pull their chestnuts out of the fire a leading banker said.
 "They seem to be suspicious of us, these folks abroad, because are hand ling this business at practically no cost to them" he said, "and the fact is that they cannot remedy the situation by sim ply agreeing to buy of disreputable ship perS ana the cheapest clldlllelS Wieic chances have to be taken. The proposi- tion advanced by Liverpool would give greater advantage to the dishonest ship pers without, the slightest extra advan- tage to the man whose business is being done in open and honest fashion,"
 Two of the bankers here have pointed out that they have nothing to gain. The president of the National City bank, who was an active member of the committee which caused the establishment of the central office in this city, was recently in Liverpool.
 It is understood that he informed the officials of the Cotton Exchange at that center of his banks opposition to the transfer
 The Guaranty Trust company. which IS most active in the support of the leading houses here seems to have adopted a neutral attitude in the matter, it is said, while certain money centers, whose bust- ness might be increased by the contem- plated, change. it is averred, are in favor of removal to Liverpool

LOCKOUT TODAY
 IN LANCASHIRE 16O,OOO Cotton Workers Will
 Be Affected
 SINNERS TO MEET
Dispute May Be Referred To Indus trial Council for Settlement-Both Sides Maintain An UncomprO-
 mising Attitude

Manchester, England, December 26.- Nothing has happened to warrant the hope that the lockout of 1eo0o0 cotton workers in Lancashire can be averted. The lockout is scheduled for tomorrow, and officially both sides maintain an un- compromising attitude. The weavers in the Halene mill at Accrington went on strike December 20 because of the em- ployment of nonunion labor. Two days later the committee of the Lancashire Cotton Spinners' and Manufacturers as- sociation decided to lock out the workers in all the mills belonging to the federation as protest against the attempts of trade unionists to force weavers to join their ranks.
 Today was a general holiday, and few cotton men remained in Manchester, therefore it was not possible to ascer- tain the views of the majority, but among some there is a disposition to re- fer the dispute to the industrial coun- cil, of which Sir George Askwith, the noted strike settler, is president.
 Meanwhile, the original cause of the dispute, the refusal of man and his wife to join the union at Accrington-is likely to be removed. It is said that the man has agreed to join, and that his wife will leave town.
 The federation of master cotton spin ners will meet here tomorrow, and it is expected, in event of a general shut down of the weaving sheds, that they will propose the early closing of the mills In Lancashire, as it is pointed out that II would he ruinous to continue spinning yarn while the looms are idle. This would cause a general suspension of labor in the cotton districts.

COLD WEATHER
 IN CALIFORNIA

Los Angeles, December 26.-In many or ange districts of southern California last nights weather was the coldest registered in many years. In one section the mer- cury fell to IS above zero, while in San Bernardlno the thermometer registered 9, and in Riverside 20 degrees above.
 Persistent smudging probably has saved the growing crop from injury, but in some districts tonight's temperature is awaited with anxiety. What damage has been done is not considered sufficient to bring the crop below the average.
 There was rise in temperature today that encouraged growers to believe tha, tonishts frost would not be severe.
