.HOBSON'S CHARGES
 . RESENTED BY NAVY
Officials Declare His State ments Regarding Mexican
 Fracas Are Unfounded

Washington, June 4-Press reports of statements made by Representative Hob son in A prohibition speech at Newport News Va, last night, caused indignant comment today at the navy department. The Alabama congressman was quoted as declaring that Japanese and German steamers had landed arms in Mexico un- der convoy of warships of those nations. and that the United States government was afraid to protest and afraid to all low the press of the country to say any thing about it.
 It was officially stated at the depart- ment that the German merchantmen which carried war munitions to Puerto Mexico. were not conveyed by man-of- war, and there was no record of any arms landed in Mexico by Japanese ships since the occupation of Vera Cruz.
 Rear Admiral Howard reported, 1t said. that the one Japanese vessel sps- pected of having arms aboard had only a cargo of linseed oil and beer. It was declared. too that every dispatch from American naval officers on the east and west coast of Mexico had been given to the press.

A SPECIAL SESSION
 WILL NOT BE CALLED
 UNTIL FALL, F THEN
Governor Will Fill by Spe- cial Election Present Va cancies in the House
 and Senate
By l.. S. BETTY

Montgomery. June 4.-(Special)-Sho the governor of Alabama call special session of the legislature he will call 1t to meet prior to the November election and he will also fill by special election the present vacancies in the House and Senate This much was learned from the governor this afternoon, but whether or not he will call an extra session is still problematical.
 Tn governor, if he has made up hs mind. will not declare his intention, though it is safe to assume that he has not yet reached any determination in re- gard to the matter. The governor takes the position that the state does not ac- tually need a special session of the leGis- ature, though he admits that Jefferson county does feel such need. However, as he has previously announced, 1t is hardly probable that he will call an extra session unless he should be convinced that such a course would be of benefit to the entire state

MILITANT GAINS
 ACCESS ID KING;
 INTERRUPTS COURT
Your Majesty, for Gods Sake Do Not Use Force" Says Suffragette as She
 Drops to Her Knee

London, June 1.-The King and Queen held court at Buckingham palace tonight and despite all precautions militant suf- fragette gained access to their presence and interrupted the presentations
 As she was passing the King the suf fragette dropped on her knees and cried: Your majesty, for Gods sake do not use force.''
 The woman was attired in court dress and her action caused consternation. She continued to admonish the King, but the conductor of the band in the gallery signaed to the band to play louder and the woman's voice was drowned.
 Tie woman immediately was removed from the room and handed over to the police Her name was not learned and close inquiries are being made as to how she obtained card of admission.
 Americans Presented
 Among those presented to the King and Queen were Miss Esther Cleveland of Princeton, N J., daughter of the late Grover Cleveland; Ralph Page, son of the American ambassador; Mrs Ralph Page, Mrs. Edward Bell. wife of the second secretary of the American embassy: Mrs. Randolph Mordecai and Miss Margarita Pennington, both of Baltimore. Miss Dor othy Doubleday, New York, and Miss Mary Sanger of Sangerfield. N. Y.
 The scene was brief and the assemblage generally had little knowledge of what was transpiring.
 Whether the woman was an invited guest who sympathized with the suf- fragette movement or an intruder wno gained admission by forged card is not known. The police bad knowledge of a conspiracy to approach the royal pres ence and every guest and every carriage arriving at Buckingham palace tonight had been subjected to close inspec- tion by detectives-a unique precaution and one that caused considerable delay and not little indignation or irrita- ton in court circles
 ~ Tonights incident Is calculated to pro- Ouce a feeling of still greater exaspera- ton in the public mind and renewed de- mands for strong measures to suppress ba fq ag a

Need of New Constitution

The governor then talked Of the need of a new constitutional convention. He has been a strong advocate or a new constitution ever since he assumed of- flee as chief executive, and at one time considered the adyisability Of calling convention. He believes that the state will never realize the prosperity ana ad, yancement to which it is entitled until radical changes are made in the laws changes which will effect the Judiciary. the educational system and the taxation system.
 But in regard to an extra session of the lesrisla.ure. it is doubtful If the gov ernor will make up his mind for weeks. Should he call the lawmakers together. 1t will probably be in the early faii, ana if will not be then if he can avoid 1t.

Birmingham Wants Extra Session

The governor declared this afternoon that the only strong pressure brought to bear upon him for a special session was from Birmingham. where the sentiment in favor of an extra session is almost universal.
 "While | was in Tuscaloosa l was ad- vised by prominent people from all parts of the state not to call the legislature to- gether" said the governor. When l went to Birmingham l found an almost unani- nous demand for special session.
 .I have not yet determined what l shall do. But should call special session 1t will be of the old legislature, and that will make it necsessary for me to make the call before the November election should call the legislature together after the election, it would be composed Of the new members of the two houses. It IS also my Intention in the event l do call a special session, to have all the present vacancies filled.

THE SOCIAL MESS AT THE SOUTH
SHORE COUNTRY CLUB
There's lot of gossip going on in
Chicago club circles over the suspen-
sion of a member of the South Shore
Country Club by that swell organiza-
ton, and it all grows out of the prac-
tice of some of the Chicago clubs of
blackballing Jews for membership, no
matter how high their standing in the
community.
w. K. Cochrone. head of the w. K.
Cochrane Advertising Agency, and a
director of the Chicago Athletic
Assn, is. the member who was sus-
pended for three months by the di-
rectors of the South Shore Country
Club at a stormy meeting of the
board of directors Tuesday night of
last week.
Mr.. Cochrane writes for the Cherry
Circle, the monthly publication of the
Chicago Athletic Assn. Several
weeks ago there appeared in the
Cherry Circle, under Cochrane's sig
nature, a story headed 'The Cow
ards Weapon" in which "a certain
club" was criticized for blackballing
for membership a prominent Jewish
manufacturer of high standing in
Chicago business circles. 1t was the
blackban that was denounced as ''the
towards weapon" used in some
clubs to prevent men from becoming
members because of their race and
religion.
b No club was mentioned in the story,
but some directors of the South
Shore Country Club thought the shoe
fit them and proceeded to put it on.
Cochrane was cited to appear be-
fore the board of directors Tuesday
night of last week. He told them the
story was general, that no particular
club was mentioned and that he did
not recognize the right of the club to
