Revolution are making mountain
out of a molehill in their pursuit of
the official scalp of DR.. ClaXton. the
United states commissioner of educa-
ton, for something he said about the
American flag that is alleged to be an
unpatriotic utterance. AS matter OF
fact, DIR. Claxton is a patriot of the
first water because of the distinguish
ed and valuable service he is render
ing to the cause and upIift of public
education in this country. If ever
there was a man in the right place,
DR.. Claxton seems to fill that bill.

OFFICERS EXPLAIN
 | ARRESTSOF WOMEN
Necessitated On Account of Numerous RObberies
 Charged to Women
By ''Hop" 
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

That the raids on "Buzzard's $ Roost and Scratch Ankle" last Saturday night by. the police were rendered nee essary by the large number of rob berries and holdups charged up to ne- gro women, was stated by Detectives Goldstein and Brown yesterday after noon. According to them there has not " oman since the wholesale arrests Sat urday night.
 Detective Goldstein, who engineered the large number of arrests of the ne gro women, stated that for the past six weeks the prison camps have been releasing negro women convicts whose terms had ended. This large influx of the criminally inclined was soon evil dent at police headquarters by the large number of reports of robberies by negro women. It was then decided to arrest all the ex-convicts among the negro women and send back to prison all who could not show clean bill of conduct.
 The investigation into the robberies was made and last Saturday night the detectives submitted a list of names of ex-convict negro women who were supposed to be operating in "Buzzards Roost'' and Scratch Ankle" two of the most notorious police beats in the city. The wholesale arrests followed.
 Yesterday morning warrants charg- ing vagrancy were sworn out before Judge H. B. Abernethy by Detectives Goldstein and Brown for about 35 of the negro women arrested.
 We are cleaning up the alleys said Detective Goldstein last night, "and the work will not stop until all the vagranf negro women are in jail. It is not the negro men that have given the police department trouble the past winter, but the women as burglaries and holdups and other methods Of rob ping persons have been charged Up to them"

 Representative Green of Dallas is a locomotive engineer and a good one, it is said. He is prohibitionist and suf- fragist He Is member of the recess committee which will probe into the several scandals. real and imagfn fned which have occurred in the recent his tory of the state. MT. Green on the Saturday following the Friday on which the legislature adjourned, started his investigation when he visited the man sion of the governor and went after wards into the cell of Theodore Lacy
 MT Green fathered the bill of the sunragettes which was chloroformed by the house committee on elections and privileges. In arguing before that com mittee, every member of which is A prohfbitionist and of which IA of Is members are said to have promised Mrs Oscar R. Hund1ey of Birmingham, to report the suffrage bill favorably, MT Green declared that one of two types of men who oppose equal suffrage was the liquor politician.
 It was probably surprise to MT. Green that the prohibitionists, having re- ceived word from the lobby, it is said proceeded to apply the legislative an- esthetic.
 MT Green stated yesterday that the probe committee would go into the de- tails of several scandals and rumors and would be unusually busy in an eff fort to find out whether or not it was possible for the state to be conducted on more economical basis.
 Other we'll known Alabamians in Bir- mingham yesterday were Judge Ed de- Graffenreid. former member of the su- preme court, and w. M. Coleman, war den Of the state prison at Speigner.
