Judge Amends Welch Bill and Limits Money at the Disposal of County Solicitor
WEIGH THEN STARTS WAR ON JUCTICE OF
 PEACE MEASURES
Split in Ranks Is Finally Healed and Points of Diff ference Have Now Been Settled
ny HUGH W. ROBERTS

Montgomery, February 16.-(Spe-
 cial.) )-The lion and the unicorn of
 the Jefferson delegation, after en- gazing in spectacular tilt this morn ing, settled their differences this aft
 ernoon and tonight are lying down together in anity.
 The net result of the so o-caled split. therefore, was more or less ami
 mated moment in which the house and senate pricked up their ears and inn
 mediatcly afterwards resumed the consumption of their mutton.
 The trouble originated fin the action Of Senator Judge in amending bin of MT.
 Welch so that instead of the entire fund of Jefferson county being at the disposal Of the solicitor only 5000 Is subject to. his Jurisdiction. Senator Judge considered
 tho bill passed by the house as a remarS-
 able bill in that lt provided that the so- licitor could draw on the general fund for the amount which he considered nee
 essary. When he proposed his amend ment the senate accepted it heartily. But MT. Weleh from appearances did not. Welch Resolution
 Mr. Welch. as a matter of fact. intro- duced q resolution recalling from the senate tho bill of MT. Shapiro. in which Senator Judge is deeply interested, that
 which would abolish offices Of justices of the peace in Birmingham and create another judgeship for the municipal court
 The house permitted Mir Welch to re call the bill but only after MT. shapiro ! had expressed atnself very oandidiy t;'- s.,rding what he termed the log rolling and political frolicing' of his fellow member.
 Mr. Shapiro as a matter of fact iuti- ] mated that the action of Mr. Nvelch was the outgrowth of his spite resulting from the action Of Senator Judge in amending | the solicitors bill. He ragged for se>- oral minutes but although Mir. John Of
 Dallas came to his assistance he was in- effective. The house recalled the bill from the care of the senate.
 Peace Restored At that moment tho indications were that a serious split had developed in the Jefferson delegation, which, as Is remem-
 bered, promised to settle its differences among itself and not on the floor of the
 house. But later peace was restored. Just what it was that created the little puff of wind which blew the cloud away no one knows. At any rate late in the afternoon Mir Shapiro declared that the points of difference had been settled and his motion that the house reconsider its action recalling his bill from the senate prevailed.
 And the lion and the unicorn. after fighting for the crown. laid down together
 in peace and there obtains now, on the surface at any rate, rich and calm con tap

President and His Cabinet Express Satisfaction Over Attitude of Germany and Great Britain.

WASHINGTON Feb. 26.- Encour- .aging reports from both Ambassadors Page and Gerard were received by the president and his cabinet concern ing the attitude of Great Britain and Germany toward the latest American proposals for the safeguarding Of neutral commerce from danger of submarines and mines. and the un- restricted shipment Of foodstuns to the civilian population of the belliger- ent countries. complete reply is not expected for several days. be cause the subject is still under con sidoration by England and her allies
 Germanys willingness to make con- sessions and to negotiate for an un- derstanding on veNatious questions have already been made known, in formally, to the United States 4 formal acquiesc1nce is expected in day or two All eyes are now turned to London. where the opinion is un- derstood yet to be divided on the merits of the suggestion Some lead ing men of the British cabinet are said to favor. in principle, the Amer ican proposals as a means of solving the problem with as little inconven- fence Co neutral countries as possible
 Another element, however, is said to be impressed by the military value of further restriction Of supplies to Germany and more reprisals. There was some indication that when the final resolution on the American pro posals is to be made. the military faction will present strong opposition

Whether this will come at date sufficiently near to permit the wind ing up of necessary legislation SO that an extra session win not be needed, cannot now be slated.
 The school Nand Iessors of Mari copa county have clamorously sought fro mtheir representatives legislation which will make it possible for their acquiring title to the lands they uc- cupy They have told their represen- tatives Give us the land law We seek and you can vote any method Of assessment of mines you may chose :"
 The cattlemen want the consttu- tiOnal amendment and land Legislation which win give them unlimited use of the grazing lands in the state and they too are with such laws passed, slightly concerned as to how the mine tax bill shall read. The mine taXers, in turn, are in control in the senate and their answer has been to pass the mine tax bill through the house and the legislation you want with it and it will be enacted by the senate Indications tonight are that the scheme will work out.
