ALABAMA WILL
 NOT FARE WELL
 ON COM MITTEES
BY wATTERsoN sTEALEY

Washington. January 9.-(Special)- With even the method of naming House committees not positively agreed upon, signments of the members of the Ala bama delegation is purely conjectural at this time. It is greatly to be feared however, that the delegation will not fare as well as it would have under the old rule of seniority. which would have been followed absolutely had the speaker named the committees. r.t Five members of the delegation are mi- nority seniors on as many important com mittees. In addition MT. Taylor, by req son of long service, would ordinarily pc entitled to a major committee chairman ship. Mr Underwood will, of course, be chairman of ways and means and 1t is regarded as probable that Representative Clayton will head judiciary. MT. Burnett Is the senior member on immigration, MT. Richardson on pensions and MT Hef1ln on industrial arts and expositions. One guess is as good as another as to whether they will get what they deserve. MT. Hobson is on naval affairs and merchant marine, but is not the senior member in either case. MT. Dent is oi. military affairs, but not the rankins
  delegation is Representatiye-elect Black man, who succeeds Representative Craig. John Sharp Williams, senator-elect from Mississippi, spent the day on the floor of the House mingling with the democrats who for four years followed his leader ship. Tt was my ambition to become speaker and walk from that chair to the senate" remarked MT. Williams to one of his colleagues, but a condition arose that I had to meet, so for two years l have been a private citizen"
 MT. Williams did not go into details but those familiar with Mississippi pol tics explain that the brilliant Missssip- plan regarded the Vardaman menace as of more importance than his attaining the speakership and thus relinquished his seat in the House in order that Vardaman could be defeated.
 The new senator evinced a lively in- terest in the row in the House today. Mir Williams came to Washington with the New Orleans exposition boomers and his popularity in the House makes him a valuable acquisition to the ranks of the Crescent City.
 In the same party Is Col. James Cor don of Mississippi, who served a brief term as the appointed successor to the late Senator McLaurin. It was Colonel WHO lHdue SuCn nlt With HIS malice-to-none speech in the Senate.
 A statement given out by Bradford Knapp of the department of agriculture says:
 '"The severe weather in the south will help much in combating the boil weevil. Cold has never been known to accomp- fish an absolute elimination" he says. but it always kills and lessens the fight forD aF tt,1 of such cold weather as the south has had will mean more chance of victory over the weevil next season."

 The deterrent elect or punishment ds a never ending topic for discussion by prison workers IL is generally agreed that when a man reaches the point where he cares not who knows ,he is in prison, the punishment is to Ilat extent a failure. Another phase 'of the question is this: if Smith tommits a crime and is sent to pris- son. to what extent will this object qesson keep Jones from violating the law? In our efforts to reach con ,clusion as 10 the value of punishment dt may be well to consider:
 First That many states have eight 10 twelve thousand members of the commonwealth in prison the year around. each one Of whom has had r1e fear Of prison instilled in him all his life
 sSecond: Anyone who has been in pEson once is more apt to commit crime, than is one who has not been in prison.

REPUBLICANS ENGAGE
 NEW PRESS AGENT
Clements of Globe koi9riely Paid 10 Hand Out
 Official Dope

It became known in Bisbce yestcr- day that the republican territorial central committee had secured the seruces Of George IT, Clements as official press agent Clements was once bright eastern star of jour nalism, having been an editorial writer on the staff of the Chicago In- ter-Ocean, and later manager of the Milwaukee Sentinel Since his resi- dence in the southwest, he has been a sort of wandering Pleiad.
 It was around the editorial head of Clements. as editor of the Globe Silver Belt and later of the Demo crat, that the merry newspaper war at Globe rcyolved, with arrests and counter-arrests. 10 say nothing of the retort courteous and the lie direct. He opposed Hunt with all his might before the primaries, and when Hunt was nominated by a biz majority, Clements continued his opposition, bolting the dose.
 While Clements is a bright news paper man and an able writer, it is doubtful if the republicans have chosen wisely in selecting him as their press agent. His opposition Co Hunt is So bitter that it will be hard for him to write dope" not tinctured with bis personal animOsity. The re- publican leaders have not as yet des- cended 10 the plane Of personal abuse. and unless Clements substi- tGtes ink for vitriol in his able pen, he will not be able to help his em- ployers.
 Mir, Clements was formerly with the Fl Paso Times and later the Fl Paso Herald He is at Phoenix at present. and it is understood that he will make headquarters there. He has been in conference with republi- can leaders there.

GIRLS kept MORAL
BY DANCES IN
SETTLEMENTS
MISS ADA FREEMAN.
Juvenile Court Probation Officer
Makes Vigorous Reply To Criticism
of DR.. WA. Wilson, President of
Florence Crittenton Home.
Judge Hubert, Too, Approves of the
Dances, Though Admitting Evil
Occasionally Results.
MISS ADA FREEMAN.

Judge Henry s. Hubert, OF the
juvenile court, and Miss Ada Free
man, probation officer, approve OF
dances In settlement districts, In
spite of the fact that DR.. William a.
Wilson, president or the local branch
OF the Florence Crittenton home, Is
strongly against them, as he pointed
out in his address before the Baptist
Ministers conference in the Wood
ward-ave. Baptist church, Monday.
II believe, as Dr. Wilson says, that
the settlement dances may do some
HARM" said Judge Hubert TO The
Times, Tuesday. But II seems that
dancing Is necessary IN settlement
work. The girls want to dance and
see no harm in the dancing, provid-
ed 1t is properly conducted. II set
tlement workers do not provide dane
ing under good conditions, he girls
will simply go to places of bad On
vironment to get Ii.
ITO my mind, the great essential
in connection with dances in the set
tlement is control. II the dances are
conducted under strict supervision,
there surely cannot be bad results.
Dancing Is almost as old as the world
itself, and presume there will be
dancing as long as the world lasts.
Most parents permit their children to
dance, and the settlement workers
are not doing anything against the
wishes of the majority OF fathers and
mothers in giving dances in connec.
tion with their work. AS | said be-
fore, there may be some harm done
in certain instances, but the danger
would doubtless be much greater II
the girls were Obliged to find their
dancing pleasure and exercise in halls
where the moral surroundings are
bad. Therefore, think that the set
tlement dances should be continued"
Dancing is conducted In all the
settlement districts of the country"
said Miss Freeman. "It is reeognix-
ed as a necessity for the accomplish
ment of good work among the girls.
They need to dance for exercise.
They also get a lot OF pleasure out
Of it, If you shut a girl up and keep
her from dancing, she Is bound to
seek that pleasure when she gets
free. So why not let her dance while
she Is under the watchful eye OF the
settlement workers? We have Sat
urday night dances for girls and !
have yet to. learn of any harm which
has come from them. The dances
are well patronized bv the girls and
the order Is perfect. We feel that the
dances are doing much to keep the
girls pure and clean. II they didn't
have our dances to patronize, II Is
certain they would go to other places
where the environment would be bad
and the moral tone low.
I'VE are also providing exercise and
pleasure for the boys in the form OF
basketball. The girls play this game,
too, but they are separated from the
boys"
