He seemed to look down through a

She had key in her hand, and even
from that distance he could see that
she was pale and careworn.

She opened a small pocketbook

GAVE PURSE TO MEN
 WHO PRONOUNCED HIS DEATH SENTENCE
Polish Civilian Shot to Death for Shooting German Aviator-Strange Action of Doomed Man
 Unexplained

Lodz. Russian Poland, December 2s (Correspondence of the Associated Press,) Major von H. had an important ap- pointment at 11-a courtmartial-and a visit to one of the I-odz battlefields had to be cut short for rapid run back to Lodz. After the courtmartial. the as- sistant judge advocate said in response ito question:
 'sDeath sentence. He confessed
 He was Polish civilian, clerk in the Russian postal service, and ht had shot at German aviator fort. night earlier. At the courtmartial, he admitted firing the shots, stating that he had been ordered to do 1t by someone higher in authority. He heard his death sentence with characteristic Siav stol idity.
 At o'clock that afternoon the con. demned man was led out into the yard oi the municipal prison, where a squad oi nine landsturm men awaited him. He seated himself in chair against the wall and passively allowed hts eyes te be bound. Only at the last moment did he exhibit any emotion. when lie sud. denly tore the handkerchief from his eyes, thrust his hand into his pocket pulled from 1t his pocketbock and handed the 60 copecks 1t contained to the as. sistant judge advocate. Why he did ii no one knows. for he said nothing. The handkerchief was readjusted and a volley rattled through the stons walled courtyard.

ALABAMA SENATOR'S SPLIT ON VOTE ON PROHIBITION RIDER
Motion to Attacl Anti Liquor Plans to Appropri- ation Bill Loses in
 the Senate

Washington, January 1S.-(Special) ) Just as the Alabama delegation in the House divided on the prohibition reso- lution so the two senators today split on motion to suspend the rules. 50 that prohibition rider" might be attached to the District of Columbia appropria- tion bill. Senator White voted for such suspension and Senator Bankhead against 1t. the motion being lost B to 70. while two-thirds affirmative would have been necessary to adopt it.
 This vote. however. must not be taken as an indication that Senator Banktead is opposed to prohibition. On the con- trary. it was learned at his office to- day that he favors prohibition. and 50 do several other senators who voted against this suspension of the rules.
 As a matter of fact. while prohibi- tion appeared, on the surface to be the issue. the main question in point was whether the rule against tacking new legisIation'' on to an appropriation bill should be suspended in this particular instance. Such a course is regarded by many senators as improper and even dangerous and the principle of such sus- pension was at stake. rather than pro- hibition as principle. ss.

Negro Arrested for PrOmis- cu0us Shooting Is Taken from Officers and
 Killed

HuntsvllIe. January 1s.-(SpeciaI.) } A mob of half donen white men over- powered Deputy Sheri6 siIas Hunt at Hobbs Island this afternoon and took from him his prisoner. Herman Nicely, . negro, rode oR into the woods with the negro and shot him to death.
 Nicely had been arrested short time before on charge of indiscriminate fir ing near Taylorsville, during which he shot Arthur Craft. a prominent planter, through the knee. and wounded mule He had engaged in fight with Harry Lee Russell and was shooting at Rus sell when Craft was struck. He is said to have attempted to shoot Deputy Hunt when the latter went to arrest him. but was covered with shotgun and com pelled to give up.
 Deputy Hunt took his prisoner to the railroad depot to await the train for Huntsville. and while he. was unprepared to resist any such proceedings the small mob of half dozen men, rode np and forcibly seized the negro prisoner.
 As they left they warned the deputy not to follow or he would certainly be killed. Later the negros body was. found in the woods riddled with bullets.
 Deputy Hunt declares that he knows all the members Of the mob. and war rants for murder will be sworn out against them.

 TACTICS, IS CLAIM
Charge Faction Has Been ; Unfaithful to the Party Pledges - Rainer Says
 People Are Aroused
ny HUGH W. ROBERTS

Montgomery. January 1S.--tSpecial.) People who attended the inauguration of Governor Henderson were so boisterous in acclaiming their satisfaction that had they not spoks, the inference would have been drawn that the state is indignant over the tactics of prohibition leaders in the legislature
 Representative Shapiro %of Jefferson. when he returned Sunday afternoon from a visit to Birmingham, candidly admitted that his friends were not glad to sec him, their attitude not being due to the fact that he had proved unfaithfnl to local opticn, which he supported, but simply to the fact that he had voted for Represen- speaker. Former Senator N. b. Godbold of Wilcox county informed his successor. Senator Bonner, today, that the people fin his home were indignantly ''eussing'' nrn for his so-called radical course in the in- terest of prohibition. While Senator Bon ner replied that "a little 'cussing' would do them good" and added that he had received no letter of protest from his people. his rpedecessor's statement of iiuisHdtioi III NUtON WU5 IoI ulSDuIeu.
 There are several other reasons why the belief prevails here that tho state Is in- dignant and is preparing to rebel. Word has been received that the petition of the people asking for a referendum on prohi- bition will bear the names of 50,0oO voters But perhaps the strongest statement of all comes from s. P. Ralner. prominent nlQ ar n m ,f rt,t, Springs. Mr. Rainer says that many peo- pie have suggested that the prohibition ists be read out of the party and into a party of their own.
 Mir Rainer. who is chairman of the Bullock county democratic executive com mittee and congressional district executive committee, made this statement today:
 The people are aroused The prohi :. bitionists have not followed the dictates expressed will of the people. And now the people are indignant.
 AS chairman of the committees of my county and district, l will make q fight to the end that prohibitionists who refuse .c follow the precepts of the party, be denied the right to participate in democratic primaries. They have no more right to mingle with us than have republicans. For they do not consider binding any action of the party. Now if they elected their candidates for seats in the legislature, we would have no kick when they treated us with con tempt. But for the people whom wo elected to consider us as corrupt chattel, Is too much. Some positive stand should be taken We are going to take that stand in south Alabama"

The plan has not as yet been uhfolded. but newspaper men In tho confidence of the governor know that he is considering tri-weekIv conferences in which matters of state will be discussed with the men who deal exclusively with the people, and know them better than any others. In these conferences. every reporter will be per mitted to ask questions or pass criticism. What the governor will say is not to be quoted. save through special direction. However, the reporters will be permitted to draw of their own power of con ception. differences, and thus write semi authoritatively on developments and the trend of events.
