BUSY IS SESSION
OF COUNCIL
MANY THINGS OF IMPORTANCE
TRANSACTED BY THE
COMM SSlONERS.

The city commissioners cleared the
decks for action yesterday and de
livered it, too. They let contract
lor 4oo Norway naples for use on the
south side, they passed the budget for
the coming year, they settled little
row over the excavation Of Higgins
avenue, and they made final prepara-
tions for the coming city election.
The meeting was peaceful, notwith-
standing the amount Of business
transacted. The Committee of Ten
which has lowered like a war cloud
over the last two or three meetings
of the council, didn't appear yester-
day.
The budget prepared BY the city
council limits the expenditures for the
year to $S1,19O. This does not mean
that the city will spend that much
money; as a matter of fact. the COM
mssioners do not expect to use ANY,
thing like that much. The appropria-
ton is made to cover all possible
emergencies, few of which are in view
AS Mayor Rhoades told the commits
soners at a recent meeting, There
may be a flood which will necessitate
the. construction of a new bridge, or
there may be a riot which will call for
an increase in the disbursements Of
budget should be large enough to
cover these possible emergencies"
Even with these broad limits the ap-
preparation is smaller than that of last
year by some $4,000.

Contract for Trees.

The contract for the Norway naples
to be used in decoration of Eddy ave-

bate, but there was promise of future
trouble in the criticisms made by some
of the bidders after the meeting had
ended. Not all of the men who bid
for the contract We're satisfied with
the award. The specifications called
for bids on two sizes of naples. Half
of the trees are to be between eight

Montgomery, February 6.--(SpeciaL)- y
of thousands of dollars to the state of
Alabama was put out by the supreme
court Thursday in the case OF the state
against sudie Schmidt, growing out of an
effort on the part of the state to show
its title to certain sixteenth section school
lands. The case was originally tried in
the city court of Talladega and was de-
cided in favor of the defendant, the high
er tribunal affirming that Judgment.
The cause was in the nature of test
pose of ejecting Sudie Schmidt from GER
tain sixteenth section lands which had
been In possession of her family for more
than 20 years. The principal question
before the court was whether the several
statutes of limitations which have from
time to time been supposedly in force
in Alabama. under which ii was supposed
a title might be acquired by adverse
bolding of school lands conveyed by the
act of Congress, approved March 2, 1919.

bama, or the acts of Congress or the
federal constitution"
In writing the opinion of the court. AS
sociate Justice Mcclellan declared: The
constitution of 1919 and its several sue

GAMBLING HOUSES
/ IN NEW YORK RA|DED

New York, February 6.-"Higher up
circles of the gambling fraternity were
upset today by rails which were made
simultaneously last night upon eight
big alleged gambling establishments
in the Fifth avenue and theatrical dis
tricts.
For the first time in the history of
the police. firemen assisted in the raids.
As the police IN eight taxicab par
ties under command of Inspector John
F. Dwyer swooped down upon the sus-
pected places, firemen gained entrance
by either pretending to be inspecting
the buildings or by shouting fire" If
the firemen got in the police squads
the habitues followed them. But in all
of the eight places there was no one
to arrest. In some mysterious manner
the alleged proprietors had all been
tipped and the patrons mingled with
the authorities. Suave buffers met
them. Gambling paraphernalia in one
place was the finest the police ever
captured. The seven van loads carted
to station houses were valued at $25,-
600, some of which was from the place
formerly occupied by Richard A. Can
field. Relics of his de luxe parlors in
cluded art treasures and these were
found still to adorn the walls.

INVESTIGATE HIGH
PRICE OF CRUDE OIL

washington, February 6.-The soar
ing price of crude oil is being investi-
gated by the department of Justice in
connection with its inquiry to determ-
inc whether the decree dissolving the
Standard Oil company has been violated.
The government wants to know wheth-
er any of the former subsidiaries OF the
trust have created conditions respon-
sible for the enormous rise and whether
there has been any concerted action.
Information in possession of the de-
partment alleges that some of the big
companies have years supply OF
crude oil in their tanks, and the pres
ent high prices does not affect them,
but is a burden upon smaller concerns.
The entire oil investigation in all
probability will be completed before
the end of February, and a report sub
mitted to Attorney General Wicker
sham by Charles b. Morrison and Oliver
e. Pagan, attorness in immediate
charge OF the inquiry.
Mr. Morrison conferred with the At
torney General late today.

man act, are believed to have reached
New York by this time. The fact that

to Indicate that the Attorney General
has directed that they, like the original
warrants, be withheld until he is salts

President-Elect Has Not De-
cided Definitely Upon
Coming Legislation

Princeton, N J., February 6.-Presi-
dent5e1ect Wilson has mot. decided what
legislation he will recommend to the
extra session of Congress besides the
tariff This statement was made by
Mr.. Wilson when ne was asked tonight
concerning reports from Washington
to the effect that he would urge the
next Congress to take up currency re-
form.
1t is known that Mr. Wilson considers
the tariff, antitrust legislation and
currency reform as the three principal
subjects upon which the platform
pledges should be carried out as quick
ly as possible. Ho expects to learn
from party leaders In Congress just
what 1t would be practicable to take
up at the extra session. Mr.. Wilson
said he would mako no decisions until
after he was inaugurated and had an
opportunity to get closer to the legis-
lators
The governor spent the day here work
working his inaugural address. He took
a long walk in the chilly air and was
invigorated by 1t. His brother, Joseph
r.. Wilson. of the Nashville Banner
called on him tonight, leaving at late
hour for Washington.

It is understood that the state will con-

CREWOF ABANDONED

Missing Crew Of Remittent
May Be Aboard the
FimOrite

Newport News, February 1.-THE crew
of the Norwegian barque Remittent, found
sailing abandoned off the Azores by the
British tank steamer Roumanian on jan
uary 49, may be safe on the steamer
Fimorite, which sailed from Newport
News January 1 for Naples, Italy, and
other ports. 1t was declared today. While
the revenue cutter Onondaga was pre-
pairing today to put to sea in an effort
to solve a mystery which resembled that
of the unexplained disappearance of the
crew of the barque Marie Celeste in 1873.
it was reported that the Fimorite. passing
Gibraltar on January 10. had signaled she
had aboard the crew of the Remittent.
That was the same day the Roumanian

ship at this time of year with no re-
ported position to work out, revenue cut
ter officials declare, is almost a hopeless
task. for the currents during the last
few months have been up to tricks new
to the oldest seamen.
To solve the mystery the revenue cut
ter Onondaga today was ordered to sea.
Tricky ocean currents which have been
performing so as to confuse master mari
ners, however make the hope of finding
the baruue remote one. The Rouman-
ian lost the Remittent about 100 miles
off Cape Henry and reported on her ar
rival here that at sight the barque was
riding the storm without any keeling. The
other vessel put off for Port Arthur. She
had several lifeboats.
