LOCAL OPTION MOVEMENT.
Lynchburg, Roanoke, Petersburg and
Newport News to Vote.

Richmond, Sept. 25.- According %
reports, which are in circulation
around the Capitol, there is to befa
call for local option elections in Pet
ersburg, Lynchburg, Roanoke and
Newport News at an, early date.
In order Gwordsg according TO the
repo1,tJ the drys of the State are to
Observation-Disclosures they have
at this time, and are to undertake TO
execute 4 flank movement and to en-
gage. the factions in a contest to
SUPPRESS the saloons at once-long
before the date set for the operations
of the prohibition law.
This action, if taken, is possibly
the outcome Of the conference Of the
Anti-Saloon League executive COM
mittee here Wednesday, when that
organization held session behind
closed doors, with no one on the
floor save the members of the COM
mittee.
Telephones were unanswered, and
even kilograms were not delivered to
the members while they were in see-
sion.
If the fight is precipitated the sa-
looms will have to fight for their very
existence right on the heels of the
recent election, when the cities voted
dry and while the forces Of the pro-
hibitionists are intact.
All Of the cities mentioned gave
majorities for the drys, and they
have majority at this time which
would make it easy to carry them
dry.
The Anti Saloon League officially
deny all this today.

Judge Bartlett, Nervous Over
impending Session, Attacks
Man Who Demanded Ticket.

Indicating the strain under which leg
islators labored today. Congressman
Charles l.. Bartlett of Georgia, lambast-
ed an assistant doorkeeper of the House
owing to a misunderstanding regarding
admission to the galleries. Congress
man Bartlett later apologized and the
incident was smoothed over with the
explanation that the doorkaeper didn't
know Mr.. Bartlett was n member or
the House. and in return the Georgia
member was unaware of the strict rules
regarding admission to the galleries
upon this occasion.
According to the story, Judge Rartiett
conducted Mrs. Bartlett to the galleries.
where he was asked for a ticket for her.
He said he had none, but would get
one If necessary. Thereupon, Mrs. Bart
lett was permitted to enter. When Mr..
Bartlett again appeared at the gallery
entrance there stood by his side man
who seemed intent upon entering the
chamber. The doorkeeper, believing the
man to be in company with the Geor-
gian. asked for his ticket.
I'll teach you how to insult mem
Der of Congress-" said Judge Bartlett,
while the doorkeeper expressed ms
doubt that the judge was a member.
where's the ticket for the lady you
put in?" asked the doorkeeper.
About this time Judge Bartlett landed
u right swing on the doorkeeper VINO
did not return the salute.
Mutual explanations showed that
Judge Bartlett had not heard OF the
admission by -ticket-only'' rule: that he
was really a member of the House. hav-
ing served some twenty years, and that
the man who stood by the side of the
Georgia representative was a STRANGER

Prolonged debate may result over
the form of the resolution authorizing
the President to make use Of the land
and naval forces.
Some important questions will arise.
Many Senators think the resolution
should make it plain that the Tampico
flag incident is but one of a long
series OF outrages and insults and
call for the protection of lives and
property of Americans in Mexico.
Slaughter Of Americans and foreign
ers and the destruction of their prop
erty have aroused the feeling in the

'WATCHFUL WAITING

Ell PASO. Tex, April 9.-Though FL
Paso is on the Mexican border and
contains 5000 Mexicans, including the
federal prisoners informed at Fort Bliss,
there was no excitement today because
of the imminence of war between the
United States and Mexico.
The tranquility is due 10 a wide
spread belief that the war" will be
confined on the part OF the United
States to blockading of the ports now
held by Huerta, and that General Car
rama and the constitutionalists will not
be interfered with.
Robert b. Pesquiera, diplomatic agent
of the constitutionalists, said:
The constitutionaIists nave assumed
a policy of 'watchful waiting"
Rebel officials at Juarez refused to
talk, but have kept in constant tele-
graph communication with Carranza at
Chihuahua. He probably will issue a
statement some time today.
United States troops are under orders
to be ready for service at 4 moments

admitted the situation was grave in

the appropriation of $4,000. coo which the
President will be allowed to use I'M
