PECULIAR HENS AND EGGS IN HARTSELLE

Hartsele, February 11.-(Special )-Quite a little comment and speculation was aroused here today over an egg laid by a hen belonging to Mrs. J. T. Gibson, whose little boy, hearing the hen cackle, ran to the nest and brought the egg to his mother, saying it looked strange. It appeared as any other egg except al close range, when an inscription in em- bossed letters reads thus:
 Watch work,
 Pray-pray
 Dark Clouds
 Remember"
 The egg is on display at one of the stores and it requires only to hold it ir ones hand and see for oneself there is nothing to suggest human agency in thu inscription, the letters looking quite tho same as embossed lettering on paper Mrs Gibson considers it strange. but say: she entertains no superstition in regard to it.

GARTER IS CALLED
 DOWN BY NAGE[
Objects to His Manner in Questioning Witness Be-
 fore Arbitration Board

Chicago, February 10.-Charles F. Ma gel. former Secretary of Commerce, and one of the arbitrators considering wage demands of western railroad engineers and firemen, today took exception to the manner in which w. S. Carter, president of the Firemen's Brotherhood, undertook to get into the record evidence that bod carriers wages were preferable to those demanded by the enginemen.
 Carter had been pressing ]. W. Hig- gins. general manager of the Missouri Pacific. for an opinion as to the rail- roads willingness to exchange the en- tire wage and working conditions propo- sition of the men sfor the hod carrier contract of an eight-hour day with time and half for overtime. The witness was wary and finally Carter said:
 "If you committed yourself to the pro- position your firemen would be knocking at your door asking for the exchange and you couldn't afford to give it to them.''
 Are you authorized to speak for the firemen and make this offer?" Mir. Nagel asked.
 "No,' Carter replied.
 You are not on the stand, Mr. Carter, and it doesn't seem to me quite fair for you to press this witness to an answer which you correspondingly can't make, MT. Nagel said
 If you are authorized to say that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen would accept the wages of bod carriers, I, for one, would be inter- ested to know it. If not, mere state- ment can hardly be persuasive

undoubtedly precipitated the downfall of the ruler.
 CasO We'll Known in Washington
 Angel de Caso is very well known in Washington He has personally con suited with officials here regarding con ditions in Mexico, upon which he was re- garded as an authority. It is known that he has been acting as confidential agent for the Spanish minister in his communications with General fila, so that his relations correspond to those existing between George B. Carothers and the state department here
 Secretary Daniels tonight instructed the commander of the battlcship Dea- ware. now in Vera Cruz harbor to take the Spanish minister aboard his vessel
 Secretary Bryan cabled to Consul Can ada at Vera Cruz tonight to render all aid possible to the Spanish minister MT. Bryan declined to comment on the incident It was understood in official circles, however, that the matter was regarded as one to. be settled between Spain and the Carranza government. The United States it was said, had employed every means at its disposal to prevent friction between the diplomatic corps at Mexico City and the constitutionalis | offices.
 | Juan Rano, the Spanish ambassador here. said tonight he had received nc official information through officia
 sources concerning Carranza's' action and
 until that was available he could no | forecast what action, if any, would b' taken by his government.

ALL LEGISLATION TO BE SUBORDINATED TO SUCCESS OF THE NEW
 PROHIBITION LAWS
(Continued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One) elections and privileges of woman suf- frage. As a matter of fact it is un- derstOod that certain prohibition leader before the "anaesthetic" was applied, told the other members of the committee that woman suffrage .'would not do at this time because we have already sufficiently burdened ourselves for the next four years"
 The Lobby's Censorship
 As has been noted before in The Age Herald the powerful lobby, in whole or in part, has been on the scene since the beginning of tho ses- sion. Save the enactment of statewide prohibition, the legislature has accom- plished nothing unless the laying of predicates for future activity be con sdered something" As to whether or not the lobby is responsible IS un- known. It is believed however. that up to the present time nothing has been put across" or through both houses with the exception of those matters for which the lobby stood. or to which it was entirely indifferent.
 The attitude of the lobby. 1t is be- lieved, is due to it's desire that legis- lation it considers unpopular be "killed' in order that such "unpopu- lar' measures might not detract iron, the "glory" of prohibition. If this be not the cause, only one other remains -pique in that MT. Henderson defeat cd MT. Conner.
 At any rate the bond issue is in grave danger.

 ADVERTISING LAW
Understood Several News papers Will Continue to
 Publish Liquor Ads

Montgomery, February 11.-tSpecial.)-It is understood here today that several newspapers of Alabama will continue to publish liquor advertising, in spite of the law which became effective Wednesday, It is said this is to be done in order to make test of the law.
 This afternoon, there is being pre- pared in the office of the attorney gen. eral an injunction proceedings. In other words, the state is preparing to uphold the majesty of it's newly created statute.
 Inasmuch as the attorney general de- clined when requested for a statement to be quoted, the exact method which he will pursue is unknown. It Is thought, however that the papers will be enjoined from carrying other liquor advertising.

WILHELMINA CARGO
 SEIZED BY BRITISH
tcontinued from Page one,


 council concerning the conservation of grain and flour" he continued.
 This regulation of the German fed eral council specifically states; The foregoing regulations do not apply to grain and flour imported after Jan uary 31, 1915' It is thus clear that the rromulgation of this regulation die not affect the cargo of the Wilhelmina in any particular.
 Only Small Part Grain Under the most forced construction from the British point of view 1t could only have affected that small portion of the cargo consisting of grain and flour. The bulk of its cargo, however. consists of meat, vegetables and fruit, which are in nowise covered by said regulations.
 "In addition, the German government has officially guaranteed to the Uni ted States government that the food stuffs in this cargo will not reach the German government or any of it's agents, contractors. or military or na- val forces and in proof of it's good faich has consented that the distribution of the foodstuffs be made under the su- pervision of the American diplomatic and consular representatives. "In short, the British position Is that the issuance of a regulation concern
 
 specifically excepts imported grain and flour, affects a cargo of foodstrffs ol varied nature. shipped before the is suance of this regulation and In face of a government guarantee to be coE- trol1ed under the supervision of tn, representatives of the United States government. The mere statement oi such a position demonstrates it's uE- tenability.'
 Mr. Lindheim tonight supplemented his statement with an estimate of the proportion of the grain and flour tho Wilhelmina carried.
 "rhe value of the grain and fou' 1 in the cargo was only S2GO0O' he said 1 ''The rest of the cargo, valued al | $170,000, consisted of foodstuffs no, | mentioned in the German federal coun- l cirs regulation. Thus the British act oi | seizure of an entire cargo worth s200, l eco is based on the British protes against only about 15 per cent of that | cargo.'
