WHOLESALE ARRESTS |0F NEGRO WOMEN
Over 50 Put in Jail on Charge
 of Vagrancy-N0 Explana- tiOn as to Sudden Raids

Over 50 negro women were arrested last night in raids by the police in Bug zards Roost'' and Scratch Ankle" and placed in the city jail on charges of vagrancy The arrests. it is understood were made on instructions from Judge H. B. Abernethy. Bond in each case was set at $500, which was rather difficult to make by the negro women. owing to the lateness of the hour when the arrests were made.
 At police headquarters no details would be given out concerning the wholesale arrests. By several officials it was stat ed that the orders for the arrest were due to the large number of robbeiies re- ported recently and that placing all the vagrant negro women in jail. the robbins would, be 'curbed.' esetsT
 That some orders had been given out to the detectives to make arrests on the charge of vagrancy was made apparent by the fact that 96 prisoners entered the city jail yesterday and last night and about 90 of them were doclSed on misde- meanor charges, among which vagrancy predominated. The majority of the ar rests were made by Officers Riley and Haffey and Detectives Watson. Ellard, T. R. Williams, Alexander. Christian and McGill On the vagrancy arrests it was written on the police docket that Detec- tives Goldstein and Brown would attend to the swearing out of the warrants be- fore Judge Abernethy tomorrow morn ing.
 The large number of arrests among the negro women in "Buzzard's Roost" and Scratch Ankle'' could not pass without notice and late last night all telephones at police headQuarteres were kept busy answering the calls of various matrons on the South Highlands demanding the summary dismissal of their cooks and maids from the city bastile.. The ser- geant fin charge being powerless to re- lease anyone was in a dilemma and an- swered all calls by saying:
 She was arrested on a charge of vagrancy. I know nothing else about it. ''

CHILD LABOR AND
 OYSTER COMMISSION
 MEASURES SIGNED
Governor Henderson Seeks to Avoid Any Complication Relative to Legality of Two
 Measures

Montgomery February 27.--(Special.) Ir order that there might be no compli- cations relative to the legality of the. child lator bill and the bill abo1ishing the state oyster commission, Governor Henderson Thursday afternoon signed these two bills at his home in Troy.
 The bills were taken to Troy as a result of the report in official circles here that the bills might not be legal if signed after the sixth day. They were brought back to Montgomery that night. and tho following day they were in the hands of the secretary of state.
 Later developments have shown, how ever, that the taking of these bills to Troy was needless trouble. inasmuch as les ding legal authorities contend that the governor may sign a bill at any time during the recess. All veto rnea sures, of course, will have to be returned to the house in which they originated
