These cards read as follows:
1.-THE enormous tax az cents pound:
81 80, eleven pounds) on our postal ex-
port produce has become an unbearable
burden. We pray you. cut it down to not
over cents a pound"
It is claimed that other countries are

HER COLLATERAL REFUNDED.
Motion in Arrest Of Judgment Grant.
ed Ethel Edwards.

Judge Latimer has granted the motion
in arrest of Judgment filed in the case
of Ethel Edwards. who was convicted of
vagrancy In the Juvenile Court recently
This ruling was made by the judge late
yesterday afternoon, and the young girl
was refunded the collateral on which she
has been at liberty.
Attorney John I. Sacks. who represents
the girl. had filed a motion i'm arrest OF
Judgment and motion for a new trial
both based on practically the same
grounds The motion in arrest alleged
that the information against the girl
who was arrested and charged with va
grancy by Bicycle Policeman Farquhar
was defective In that it was vague, in
definite, uncertain and alleged a con-
clusion in law. The attorney argued that
the information charged his client SIM
ply with being a vagrant, instead OF
charging any acts which go to make
up vagrancy.
The girl, under the recent ruling. can
not again be tried on the information
which was filed against her.

troit. at $4,000 per annum, has been

ment of Agriculture in connection with

Peculiar Situation.
Robinson's Contention.

Senator Robinson, at last nights meet
ing, pointed out that the new seventeenth
amendment provided in its closing words
This amendment shall not be so con-
strued as to affect the election of any
senator chosen before 1t becomes valid
as part of the Constitution" He said the
controversy in the Clayton case turned
upon the word term and that the
term of Senator Johnston would con-
tinue until 1915, no matter how many
other senators may occupy the Office.
so there is no way for a senator to
get rid of his term" inquired Senator
Kenyon.
NO. unless he resigns, and he sell
dom does that" replied Senator Rob-
inson.
IF Congress had intended to pro-
vide what you say it did, would it
not have used the words term for
which any senator is chosen'?" sug-
gested Senator Pomerene.
Senator Robinson quoted several
state decisions to support his posi-
ton.
Argument of Evans.
r. B. Evans. legal adviser to Gov.
O'Neal, argued that strict, indeed,
must be the construction of the law
which would deprive a sovereign state
Of that equal representation to which
the constitution entitled it.
He further argued that senators are
state officers, and under the Alabama
law the governor was authorized to
fill vacancies in state offices.

CLAYTON To GET
FURTHER HEARING
Alabama Senatorial Ap-
pointee's Arguments for Seat
Already Extended.
COMMITTEE is MOVING
WITH EXTREME CAUTION
Method of Filling Vacancies as Late
as 1921 Depends OH
Decision.

Permission has been obtained bv the
friends of Henry D. Clayton, appoint
ed senator from Alabama by the gov
ernor of that state, to make additional
arguments before the Senate privileges
and election committee, notwithstand-
ing the elaborate presentation in his
case to the committee last night nv
Senator Robinson Of Arkansas and r.
b. Evans, legal adviser Of Gov. O'Neal
The committee will take some time
Tor consideration of the question in
asmuch as the manner of filling eyery
vacancy in the Senate membership pos
sibly as late as 1921 depends upon the
outcome.
Supporters of Mr.. Clayton contend
that under the new direct election
amendment vacancies in the terms OF
Senators chosen at the time the amend
ment went into effect this year must
be filled by selections by the state
legislatures and not by the direct
elections at the polls.
Peculiar Situation.
In the case of the term of Senator
elect Broussard of Louisiana this
would call for the legislature to fin
vacancy in his terms of office, should
one occur before 1921, Notwithstanding
the people of the state will elect a
successor to Senator Ransdell of
Louisiana in 1918. They also contend
the Maryland legislature must elect a
senator to fill out the term of the late
Senator Rayner, now occupied by ap-
pOintment By Senator Jackson
1t is figured that five seats will fall va
cant before 1918 and will be filled ac-
cording to the decision Of the Senate,
acting upon the suggestion of the COM
mittee on privileges and elections in the
CLAYTON case
