GADSDEN WOULD INSPECT ITS MEAT
Agitation to Establish City AbattOir-NegrO Killed
 in Craps Game

Gadsden, April 6.-(Special.) )-There has long been more or less agitation in the city for meat and milk inspection and part of the plan was to give an abattoir as the property of tho city where all anil mals for consumption in the city would have to be killed and inspected The matter was carried so far two years ago that site was selected, but thls was abandoned when a number of adjacent property owners raised objections and threatened to take the matter to the courts. With the moving of the water station and the vacating of the old site the question is again being discussed and it may be that the city will use the old pumping station site. which is some dis tance down the river from the new water plant. for the proposed abattoir and thus provide way of getting meat and milk inspection started in the city.

TWO FACTIONS RESTING
 ON THEIR ARMS TONIGHT
CONTINUED FROM PAGE D


 Nixon, Hepburn, Bristow, Crawford Mclean, Lippitt.
 When the caucus met about fifty sen- ators were present, all of the progressives being on hand except Senator Craw- ford. Senator Cummins put the issue squarely without any preliminaries. He urged the appointment of LaFollette to the interstate commerce committee be- cause of his fitness and seniority and the naming of Bristow to the committee on finance because of his "capacity for hard work and deep interest" in the subject
 Senator Gallinger replied that the com mittees already were filled and that it was inexpedient to enlarge them. He added that the progressives had been shown all due consideration and given all the committee assignments to which they were entitled.
 Gallinger Objects Senator Cummins asked for separate vote on the two propositions. The mo. ton to place LaFollette on interstate comerce was voted down, 33 to H. Those voting for the motion were Borah Bourne, Bristow, Brown, Clapp, Cum mins, Nixon, Gronna, Kenyon. Poindex- ter and Works. Neither Senator LaF'ol- lette nor his colleague, MT. Stephenson, voted In the case of Mr. Bristow that motion too was lost, 31 to 12, Senator Curtis deserting the regular camp for a moment and voting with the progressives out of compliment to his colleagues. Mir. Cummins immediately gave notice that he reserved the right to carry the question of reconsideration of the votes to the floor of the Senate. MT. LaFolette went further, however. He declared that he proposed to decide for himself whether he would take in the open Senate not only the question of votes, but also the broaTer question of the committee ap- pointments.
 Immediately after adjournment of the caucus the progressive group held a se- cret conference to decide on their future action. Although they were in session nearly two hours no decision was reached and the entire matter went over until tomorrow morning, when another con ference will be held.
 It was reported that the progressives are not in accord as to the extent to which they should go as a group in show ing their resentment of what they term the high-handed methods of the regulars in making the committee assignments Most of them expressed satisfaction with their assignments and appeared to be- All of them seemed to feel, however | that there had been a studied effort to minimize their representation on the two | important committees of interstate com merce and finance, which deal with leg | slative questions in which the progress sive group has it's liveliest interests.

As a result of a quarrel following a craps game and carousal in the furnace quarters of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company, Walter Boswell, a negro, is dead from a gunshot. His assailant, John Coins, made his escape and is still at large. There were no eye witnesses to the tragedy but the victim of the shouting was seen before he died and the name of the murderer secured. Bloodhounds were put on the trail of Coins and this was followed for some dis- tance but he entered a negro settlement and there the scent was lost to the dogs.

SCARF HAS GROWN TO
A SMALL SIZED WRAP
Some Have Armholes and Are
Worn Like a Coat-Edged
With Rosebuds.

A year or more 81 a scarf was a
straight bit of chiffon hemmed at eithA,
end. with a floral design upon it. There
were, OF course. some of crepe de chine
and a few of lace. but there was never
an idea in those days conceived OF
what the scarfs for the summer Of
1911 were to be.
The newest and loveliest OF ~"scarfs.
are in reality not scarfs at all, but
quaint fichu-like wraps OF chiffon with
long ends, which fit snuyly about the
shoulders, clinging in graceful folds.
I'm black or colors the scarf wraps
are the latest things from Paris, while
rivaling them in popularity are the
double scarfs of chiffon In two shades
with their deep fringed ends, and
scarfs of satin, some of which now
have armholes, cut In their wide folds
and slip on like a o a over the lingerie
frocks.
Beads and Silver Fringe.
Nor does the variety end here. There
are chantilly draped scarfs edged all
about with wee satin rosebuds. and
beaded scarfs shot with silver, with
heavy silver fringe at the ends, some
caught at the back to form a sort OF
hood, also edged with the silver, which
makes them set more comfortably
about the shoulders, m i'm reality
forms a little wrap for the warm
nights.
The scarfs to wear over the head are
of softest net this year. and have rib
bons run through part of their borders
which, drawn in, form a snug LITTLE
hood that stays on wen in a spring
wind. :
