SERIOUS BLOW TO MUSCLE SHOALS IS
 DEALT BY HOUF }
Provision Providing For Surve' ~S. Soundings Stricken from and HarbOrs Billie
 Leads AssauIts

Washington, January oecal) The House in committee on .e whole late this afternoon struck serious blow to the Muscle Shoals development project by eliminating from the pending rivers and harbors bill the provision therein pro- viding for the surveys and soundings pre- liminary to the undertaking.
 Assault was made upon the project by Representative Lenroot, and another "conservationist," and In spite of an im- passionec plea by Representative Taylor and the efforts of MT. Underwood and other friends of the development, it was stricken from the bill. g
 It Is regarded by the supporters of this great development as an irritating but only temporry setback.
 As the Muscle Shoals appropriation was stricken from the bill on an amendment eliminating the entire paragraph. the House. under the rules, when the bill is reported to that body, may demand a sep arate vote on the amendment and restore the appropriation. This may be done if its friends believe they can muster suf- f1cient votes.

QUART WINS OUT
 OVER PINT IN THE
 PROHIBITION FIGHT
Momentous Question on Legal Total of Alcoholic Fractional Currency Debated in the State Senate
 Yesterday


 Montgomery, January 1s-(Special) ) The momentous question was debated in the senate Tuesday afternoon as to whether citizen of Alabama shall be allowed to have in his home or on his person one quart of spirituous liquor in pints, half pints. or other fractions of a quart, or only one pint in frae uonal containers.
 When the Bonner bill. the purpose of which Is to make the life of the blind tiger as unhappy and precarious as pos sible. was on it's third reading in the senate the author of the bill sought to amend it so that quart instead of a pint should be the legal measure of fractional ownership. Senator Hartweil of Mobile objected to this measure, not because it was too great but because he said the prohibitionists were not con- sistent that if they are going to dc away with the use of liquor, as they propose, there should not be any half measures.
 Senator Miners answer to this was that the provision under discussion was for you fellows" MT. Hartwell replied that no part of the entire bill was ab- solutely required for him, and that there wore many "other fellows who could get along very well without it.
 But the bill passed 24 to ' with the quart instead of the pint as the legal total of alcoholic fractional currency The vote on the bill prohiting the ad- vertisement of vinous, malt and spiritu- knxx ta.r1, the senate, also, with the full weight of the roller 24 to T.

By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Montgomery. Janaury 10.-(Special.) In his hrst conference with newspaPes men. Governor Henderson this afternoon made it plain that he would not attempt to dictate to members of the legisla- ture.
 Unlike governors who have preceded he holds that the legislature must be given the right freely to act in accord ance with its Judgment. He will not only refrain from an effort to dictate. but he will not attempt to persuade or drive. He will advise. of course. with mem bers. He will let his views be known But during the next four years there will be no boss in the state house.
 In carrying out his programme in the above regard. the governor will make nc reached conclusion as to what offices or departments should be abolished, or consolidated. He believes that were he to fill offices at the present time the leg islators. through wiles and petitions of appointees. might be swerved from their course of retrenchnent. The governor very frankly made statement to the above effect and applicants for office may be governed accordingly

 In the letter of the reverend gentleman there Is a protest against submitting the question of prohibition to the people Like Speaker Carmichael. this gentleman from Ohio evidently holds that the people of Alabama are not to be trusted, for in giving reason for his request he says: "On account of the corruption possible under our present election laws"
 The letter in full follows
