tariff bill the Democrats would have
but one majority.
In view of the close vote in the Sem
ate II will be urged that Senator
Johnstons successor be named as early
as practicable.
The situation Ii complicated by the
operations Of the new constitutional
amendment providing for the election Of
Senators. Ordinarily Gov. ONeal could
at once make an appointment. but
under the Seventeenth Amendment he
must first call the Legislature together
and be empowered by IL to temporarily
I'LL the vacancy. This O'Neal is ex-
pected to do at an early date
He probably will name John B. Knox.
Of Admission. Ala Knox has a country
wide reputation as a lawyer. and Is a
man of great ability. He was president
Of the convention which framed the
present Alabama constitution. He is
not a politician. and was defeated sew
eral years ago by Senator Bankhead
for the seat now held by the Senator
For the long term Representatives
Clayton. Hobson. and Hefiin probably
will contest.
The use Of Representative Underwood's
name is not given much credence. As
House leader the Alabama member Is
said to consider his position of more
Importance than one in the Senate. II
generally is recognized that Mr.. Un-
derwood aspires to the Presidency, and
his friends believe the House is a
better vantage ground.
There was a great deal of discussion
here yesterday regarding the powers Of
Gov. O'Neal. OF Alabama, in connec-
tion with the Senatorial vacancy.
Senator Bacon of Georgia and other
leading lawyers of the Senate. after ex-
amining carefully the Seventeenth
Amendment to the Constitution. con-
tend that Gov. O'Neal cannot fill the
vacancy at present for the reason that
the State legislature has not author
lied him to do so. They also hold that
the vacancy cannot be filled by popu-
lar election at this timee because the
Legislature has not directed such a
course. The Governor. these lawyers
say, could solve the difficulty by CALL
ing the Legislature together.
But they are Of the opinion that Gov.
Goldsborough. OF Maryland. in ordering
. special election to fill the vacancy
caused by the death Of Senator Rayner
acted without the authority of the Leg
islature. and that the Seventeenth
Amendment to the Constitution did not
Of itself give him that authority.

ANACOSTIA CITIZENS
PLAN FERRY LINE
Short Cut Over Eastern Branch May
Demonstrate to Congress Necessity
Of Authorizing New Bsidse.

Plans for the establishment Of a ferry
boat service across the Eastern Branch
OF the Potomac River from the foot of
South Capitol Street to the opposite
shore near the Government Hospital for
the Insane were discussed last night at
a meeting Of the citizens Of the South
eastern section Of Washington, Anacos-
tia, and Congress Heights. held in Dom
ohoe's Hall. sl4 Pennsylvania Avenue
Southeast.
Application has been made to the War
Department for permission to operate
such a service The War Department
has unofhcially given its approval to
the project Because OF the regulations
the promoters of the project must file
with the War Department maps showing
the exact location OF all landings and
the air line Of the ferry service. before
the project officially can be approved.
j. II. Adriaans. who is directing the
movement. stated that the real reason
for wanting to establish a ferry-service
was to demonstrata to Congress the need
OF suitable bridge near the proposed
ferry route. He stated that the ferry
service would be discontinued upon the
construction OF a bridge.
Representative Smith OF Maryland has
introduced in the House a bill providing
for the construction Of a bridge. No
action can be secure on the bill until
the regular session Of Congress. Those
interested In the building Of the bridge
propose in the meantime to convince
Congress Of its necessity.
A bridge will save the residents of
Anacostia and Congress Heights who
work in Washington about twenty-five
minutes in getting to and from their
work
II is proposed to organize . stock
company to operate the ferry service.
The project is not a money-making
scheme. 1t simply Is to convince Con-
gress Of the necessity Of a bridge across
the Anacostia River and to afford the
residents Of the interested section a more
dirct way OF reaching the center Of the
city.

Jackson VS.. Union City.

Outplaying Union City High in a
sharp, decisive contest, High School
lowered the colors Of the Nightrider
eleven and sent their West Tennessee
championship hopes glimmering at
Highland Park Friday afternoon.
The score of Union City's first defeat
in two years was 26 to 0.
Several hundred local football enthu-
siasts witnessed High School sweep tri-
umphantly through the defense Of the
rival championship claimants and four
times place the oval behind their goal
line, while her own goal remained un-
crossed and never in danger.
After the first ten minutes OF play
during which the teams see-sawed in
midfeld in fierce struggle, Union City
weakened, and from then the result was
never in doubt. In the last half the
visitors were unable to make first down
a single time. The game ended with
the ball in High Schools possession on
the visitors ten yard line. Sun.

In justice TO Governor Patterson

asked him il he was willing to say pub

to do all within his power at any time
or place to destroy the liquor traffic. He
has never directly or indirectly pushed
himself forward in this new work. The
people without regard to party lines or
past alignments are calling for him 10
make anti-liquor speeches and he is ac-
cepting as many Of their invitations as
he can.
Good men will at least be charitable

opinion as to the genaineness Of Gov

Notice to the Public.

On Saturday next, Nov. s, 2:30 p. M,
there will doubtless be the biggest and
best football game ever played in Union
City, when Huntingdon and the Train
ing School match their colors and test
their ability and strength on the Train
ing School gridiron.
This game will be watched with anx-
ious eyes, as huntington has won, by
a decisive score, every game but one
they have played this year-four out Of
five. The Training School has played
four, winning three and tied Clinton
Il TO u, whom Huntingdon defeated
Saturday last, 13 to 6. When the Train
ing School played Clinton their only
star man was McAlister, one of the
very best prep players in the country.
Huntington defeated Clinton without
this star, so you may count on this be-
ing snappy game from beginning To-
the end. You can't afford to miss this
game. II you are interested in clean
athletics, come out and get more so,
and spend an hour Of real recreation
and excitement. II you are not inter-
ested. come to this game and we will
assure you that you win be glad and
win come again.
Union City doesn't realize what clean
and manly boys are representing her
away At other towns. Why not come
to all the athletic games Of the schools
