PAVING AGITATED
 IN WEST DECATUR Council Considering Im- prOvements to Which Op-
 position Develops

Decatur. March 11.-(Special)-The city council of New Decatur is considering paving Fourth and Fifth avenues in West Decatur. There are petitions for and against the paving filed by the property owners and the matter is now in the hands of the street committee and will be passed on later.
 The report of Chief of Police Will V Davidson of New Decatur shows that during the month of February only six arrests were made in New Decatur. This is a record unheard of before.
 Company E, Alabama National Guards was inspected last night in it's armory hall in New Decatur by General Scully on the part of the state, and by Cap tain Screws on the part of the United States government. This is one of the best companies in the state militia.
 Many new business houses and resi- dences are being built in the Decaturs at this time.
 It is expected that work will soon com mence on the $60,0O0 government build, ing to be built in Decatur

rules made public officially fits decision
 not to recommend to the House the
 establishment of a standing committee
 on woman suffrage.
 February ?, 19i4-A cause of the dem
 ccrats of the House, called by suffrag ge
 sympathzers, refused by vote of 127 to
 5S to compel the committee on rules to re-
 port the resolution calling for the estab-
 lishment of the proposed standing com mlttee.
 February 4, Representative Un- derwood, the democratic floor leader, served notice in a speech the floor of the House that the democratic party takes the position that woman suffrage is a state and not a federal question. Woman suffrage was defeated at the primaries or in the legisla lures of Michi- gan, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Flor ida. Maine. Iowa. Maryland and Virginia. This list of states, representing nearly every section of the country. is an elo- quent indication of what the public senti- ment really is toward woman suffrage. Active organization of the anti-suf- frage forces has been started in South Carolina, Kentucky, Nebraska, Wiscon- sin and Minnesota all new additions to the great organized anti-suffrage teiri- tory.

CRUSHING DEFEATS
 FOR SUFFRAG|STS
Miss Bronson Issues State. ment to Show Recent
 Work By Opposition

Washington, March u.-(Special) Crushing defeats of the woman suffra-
 gists at the White House. before Con gross and in eight individual states. all within the past year. are the salient fea-
 lures of a ''record of achievement is-
 sued here today by Miss Minnie Bronson, secretary of the National Association Op- posed to Woman Suffrage. as evidence that the equal franchise movement in this country has not only come to a
 standstill but has received terrific set- backs in the time mentioned.
 Miss Bronson, who was in Washing
 ton for a few hours this afternoon on her return trip to New York from a big anti suffrage meeting in Cincinnati ex- pressed the opinion that the country should know what her organization has accomplished within the past F months
 because the record may be taken as an indication of coming anti-suffrase vic tories in the states of New York. New Jersey. South Dakota, North Dakota,
 Montana, Nevada and ska. all of
 which will decide the suffrage question within the next year or IS months. The following is Miss Bronson's record of anti-suffrage achievements during the 1 year just ended

TENSION INCREASES IN MEXICAN MATTERS AND
 LEADERS ARE WORRIED
Developments Indicate That President Must Change
 Policy and Many Congressmen Regard Intervention as Imminent and Absolutely Inevitable
By C. E. STEWART

ica have changed their minds. There Is no question about that. The repeated denands of the state department for the protection of various foreign residents of Mexico, both in the revolutionary zone and In the region controlled by Huerta, have been ignored or treated with such fiippancy as to lead many close observers to expect that before long the admin stration's policy must be changed. In fact 1t has aroused a feeling of ndigna-
 ton in Congress- when Congress once gets that feeling good and strong there can be but one answer, and that is dra stic and forceful action In Mexico. In the meantime the pressure from the foreign powers. for the protection of their citizens. for eXpla na tions of the Kill ing of those that have already. been mnr- dered. and for inquiry into this case and that case Is becoming greater and more insistent all the time. The action of uov- ernor Colquitt and his rangers in mak- ing raid into Mexico and recovering the body of Nergara. whether 1t Is denied or not, is bound to bring on complications, is the belief of congressman and senators.
 This act by the rangers will lead to another of a similar nature, and perhaps to retaliation by the Mexicans. and when that comes there will be fight and fur ther delay of an invasion of Mexico is out of the question

FARM DEMONSTRATORS
 MAY BE INSTALLED

Meridian. Miss. March 11.-tSpecisl) notwithstanding the fact that the county board of supervisors turned down the proposition to put on a farm demonstra- tor, although they had submitted the matter to a vote of the people. and the majority had voted for 1t, there is still a chance that the matter will be carried through as the Board of Trade has in structed it's committee on agriculture to take up a subscription among the busi- ness men of the city and try to raise 5000. which, added to the $500 allowed by the government, would make $l500, sufff- cient to employ a demonstration. The committee has already met with good success

that there is an intimate relation be- tween the Mexican situation and the canal tolls controversy, but. of course. everyone suspects that there ls Anyway Congress feels that intervention in Mex leo is imminent and inevitable, for they believe that 1t is going to be forced upon us. Congress also believes that Eng
 land s support in such event is dependent upon favorable action in canal tolls. and even with his feeling uppermost in the minds of all there will nevertheless be q struggle in the Senate over the repeal worthy of note. The House will pass canal tolls by good majority, at least that is the opinion now.
 Just now. in the judgment of members of the Senate committee on foreign rela
 tions, there are two clouds upon the Aor- zon which seem to contain a menace to the Monroe doctrine. The powers at this juncture somewhat under suspicion in this connection are Japan and Germany. Some members of the committee read with uu- disguised concern the declaration of Cer- tain German newspapers a few days ago that Germany would take upon herself the responsibility of protecting her citi- zens in Mexico in case one or more of them were to meet the fate of Benton. This announcement in the German press is regarded here as having been inspired by the German foreign office.
 The state department, however, throws
 cold water on this by declaring that ''our 1 relations with Germany are most cordial, and, further that Germany has shown
 every disposition to support our Mex | ican policy"
 There has been resolution after resolu- ] tlon introduced in the Congress calling on the state department and even the Pres ] ident for a full report on the MeNican ? 1 situation. So far none has passed but l if one should, and the real inside informa 1 ton Is furnished a leader in the party said today nothing could prevent war. The tension is becoming greater every hour Something must happen one way or the other and that very soon. Either the situtlon will clear up by a miracle. or there will be an outbreak that will lead to the joining of the issue by the force of arms.

Currency Measure Deprives Metropolis of Supreme
 Eminence
NEW YORK IS AIDED
 BY FOREIGN TRADE
Her Supremacy As Trade and Manu- factures Is Assured for Many Years to Come Because of
 Commanding Position
By HOLLAND

New York, March 11-(Speoiall- l-Pre- sumably Chicago will gain, under the new banking law no small part of the -eminence which New York city has maintained since the national banking law was enacted in 1882. That is the com. |. mon opinion of bankers They report that there was no attempt to conceal the purpose entertained by those who drafted and perfected the present national bank ing act. They hoped to enact measure into law whereby the inevitable tendency of banking credit and money accumula- tions in New York city would be ended. They hoped to scatter throughout the country what seemed to be a monopoly possessed by New York city
 Reasonable men who shared in the preparation of the new banking and cur rency law were not disposed to criticize New York, for they knew that the con- centration here of vast money power and the control of vast banking credit were in great measure consequent upon the op- eration of the old banking law That measure practically drove funds in large amounts to New York city. There were seasons of the year when banks in other parts of the country forwarded to New York money in great currents, since they were able to deposit funds in New York and have these funds reckoned as part of their reserves while at the same time New York banks were allowing them in. terest, usually at the rate of per cent upon these deposits. The law in the first instance, and not the selfish greed of New York bankers, was responsible for this condition.

Huntsville Commissioners Receive Complaints Concerning Sunday "Moviesy-Many New Indus
 tries in Prospect

Huntsville, March 11.-(Special Ga pt. Reuben F. Kolb. candidate for governor. spoke here last night and was met by many of his old-time supporters. Captain Kolb charged that the Conner adminstra- ton diverted about s90,oo0 a year of the sum realized from the fertilizer tag tax from the rural schools to Auburn, the rnes agricultural schools and the experi- ment station at Uniontown. placing this money where 1t is of no benefit to tha farmers who pay the tax.
 Kob said if he is elected no children under 15 years will be allowed to work in the cotton mills of Alabama. He claimed that the farming interests are bearing more than a fair share of the burden of state government and that of the si.1oo. oooo0o taxable property more than half is exempt from taxation under the present Alabama laws.
 kob stands for an aggressive agricul- tural policy and will use all efforts to have the farmers raise everything they need in Alabama. He showed by sta tistics that Alabama is buying sl0o,00 GOO worth of hay products, corn. meat and dairy products every year and this money should be kept at home.
 The city commissioners have received protest against moving pictures on Sun day and a set of resolutions adopted at a meeting of the stewards of five of the church which was called by the minis ters to make a protest against Sab bath dissertation" Quite a fight is being made here around the Sunday picture idea. At the Sunday mass meeting J. l. Johnson of the First Baptist church was elected chairman and A. NJ. Booth was secretary. The commissioners took the protest under advisement.
 William Fowler, young business man of Huntsville, and Miss Grace Mason of Fayetteville were married at Fayetteville Tuesday afternoon.
 The officers of the Chamber of Com merce Of Huntsville state that there are more new industries in prospect at this time than ever before and they have strong hopes of a busy season of build ing ahead Several important industries are seeking locations here and some of them are practical certainties. Even with no additions to the present list an un- usually busy building season is antici- pated this year.

Importance of Railroad Purchase


 that the inability of the railroads to make purchases in great measure ac : counts for the depression in certain lines of manufacture One of the large corporations whose product is almost exclusively bought by the railroad com panies was compelled drought its president, a few days ago to announce that owing to the heavy falling ofr | in buying by the railroads the busi- ness of the company last year had been very unsatisfactory. This pres ident said that the success of the com pany depended to a great extent upon the well being of the railroads ana when the revenues of the railroads would again permit them to purchase ! the necessary requirements the cor l poration would be able to carry on it's lplant to it's capacity
 1 Some of the railroad companies feel compelled to deprive stockholders of dividends in order that needed funds may be obtained for making impera- tive improvements The Chesapeake and 1 Ohio Railroad company proposes to take from it's net earnings $17,00O, 900. and presumably these stockholders must find their purses empty so far ! as their income from the stock is con- cerned for the next five years. IT; the long run, the stockholders will be benefited. But the emergency which
 
 management of this railroad is not con ; fined tos the Chesapeake and Ohio, Money amounting to many millions must be obtained within the next two or three years if the railroads are ade- quately to meet the demands made upon them by the United States, and pre- sumably in many case the stockhold : CTS will be compelled to undergo a suspension of dividends to furnish the l railroads with the credit which will enable them to get some part of the money needed.
 1 Financing transactions of this kind will undoubtedly be perfected in New York city But there seems to be no doubt that under the operations of the | new banking and currency law Chi cago is gaining a prestige which New York will lose.
