MANNING SPEAKS HIS MIND.
Former Alabama Legislator Tolls
North Conditions South Are Bad.


The Hon. Joseph G. Manning, former
ly member of the Alabama legisla-
ture, in an address before the Economy
club of Cambridge, Mass, the latter
part of February spoke on the "Polit-
ical and Economic Conditions" in the
south as of interest to the whole ma
ton He referred to the south as be-
ing submerged and said, "If the peO-
pie of Massachusetts knew the actual
political conditions existing in the
south today they would be amazed"
He alleged that the leaders of the
Democratic party in the south manipu-
late the elections to please themselves
and that it is impossible to pass a
bill in the Alabama legislature today
to make a law prohibiting the illegal
control Of the votes and that the r,il
Ing party in the south perpetrates
power by brazen fraud. In the south
there are as many disfranchised
whites ms there are blacks. all through

who control things to suit their own
interests.
"There is no such thing as popula.
government down there" he said, land
there never will be unless the national
legislature takes up the matter. The
so called Negro question is used merely
as subversiOn OF constitutional gov
ernment. The solid Democratic south

white people patronize the house and
do not object to sitting next to colored

NAVY BANDSMAN IS
PASTOR in AMNESIA
Unknown to Self, He Goes
1900 Miles, Picked Up
Here, Receivers.

Walking out Of his home in Fair
mont. Mimi. while suffering from am
nesia. the Rev. Walter r. Burton found
mis- way to Key west, Fla, and there
enlisted in the navy as musician. In
the New York Hospital yesterday ne
regained his personality as minister
but could recall none Of the facts OF
his enlistment.
DR.. Burton's predicament is regarded
by physicians as one Of the most puz-
zling cases Of amnesia that they have
ever been called upon to. deal with.
Twelve days elapsed between his loss
Of memory in his home town and his
enlistment at Key West, fifteen hun
dred miles away. He enlisted under a
false name, but named his birthplace
correctly.
Burton was picked up unconscious
on Sunday AT Fifth ay. and i2d ST. He
was attired In citizens dress. He re-
turned to consciousness after two hours,
but seemed unable TO understand the
physicians when they tried to explain
where he was.
Papers in his pockets indicated that
he was Richard Hudd, of the receiving
ship Maine. The navy yard was COM
municated with, and William ). Torte-
Gus, yeoman of the Maine, visited the
hospital and identified the supposed
Hudd Torteous told the physicians that
when Hudd enlisted as a second class
musician on December 26 he gave his
birthplace as Milwaukee, his age as
twenty-nine, and his home as the Bal
timore Hotel, Kansas City, Mo.
Hudd, he said, was brought TO New
York on the monitor Ozark, arriving on
January 2. lie was then assigned to the
Maine The man had not been called on,
so far as TorteOus was aware, TO dem
onstrste his skill as a musician.
Yesterday afternoon Hudd astound-
ed those about him by suddenly declar-
ing he was Walter K. Burton. pastor
Of the First Christian Church. Fair

where he was, the minister was in turn
sstounded, explaining that his last rec
objections were of starting out to take
a walk in Fairmont on December H..
( He had never before been east of Chi
oago, he said.
Burton. as the minister. also said
that he was born in Milwaukee. but
gave his age as thirty-six instead Of
twenty-nine He had apparently no
recollection Of what happened between
December Il and January II. and un-
I'll he regains his strength the physi-
clans will not inform him that he en-
listed in the navy during the interim.
The minister said he was married
and had been pastor of the Fairmont
church for many years. He recalled
walking for three hours on December

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE governments
investigation into the possibility of a
bread famine threatened to turn tow

the representatives of two interests,
the millers and the bakers, had visit
ed the United States District Attor-

price OF wheat must eventually cause
an increase in the price Of bread.
The bakers asserted that they could
not make a loaf Of bread weighing
from twelve to fourteen ounces for
five cents with -four above 50 barrel.
Albert L. Hopkins, Assistant Dis

more Of wheat were exported than IN

MARRIAGE INVALID
Youthful Wife of Wealthy
Pittsburgher Seeks Sep

Papers in an action for separate
maintenance by Mrs. Efie Pope Hill Al
sop, the twenty-two-year-old wife Of
Edward B. Alsop, seventy-nine years
old, Of Pittsburgh, were fled IN the
Sherif's office, yesterday, but because
of the absence from the city Of the
husband they could not be served and
we're returned TO Harry y. Steinfeld,
lawyer for Mrs. Alsop.
In the papers Mrs. Alsop said she was
without means of support, which she
demanded, saying that her husband
had an income of at least S5O,OOO a
wear Counsel for the wife will prob
ably move il the Supreme Court to
serve Alsop by publication, when the
complaint will be filed.
Mrs. Alsop made clear IN her state
ment in the document, which has not
vet become court record, that she
thinks il unsafe TO live with her nus
band, TO whom she was married on
February 10, 1912, at Trinity Church::
She also casts doubt on the validity OF
the marriage. She said that she and
Alsop were married by the Rev. D. WI
son sutton, concerning whom she added
parenthetically, "aud having no author
ity TO perform such ceremonies
Mrs. Alsop told OF living with her
husband in his Washington residence,
at a summer home in Beverly, Mass,
and at the Waldorf She left him sew
eral times, she said, and each time he
urged her 10 return 10 him, which she
did several times Alsop even followed
her to Europe after she left him on
one occasion, said Mrs. Alsop.
The young wife said that she gave up
all her social relaxations aud friends
for Alsop, and upon their marriage he
gave her 100000 IN the bonds Of the
Transylvania Railroad, which pay per
cent year, but which, Mrs. Alsop said,
are not marketable now and are Of un-
certain value. Also. besides the neces-
sary household expenses and other dis
bursements, Alsop gave his wife s2.4OO.
AS late as last October, he gave Mrs.
Alsop 5000 Mrs Alsop left her hus-
band for the last time in November,

OXFORD-CAhBRIDCE
RACE OFF THIS YEAR
War Interrupts English Rowing
Classic for the First Time
In Sixty Years.
rBy Casl. 70 TIE Tribune. J

London, Jan. lit IS officially an
nounced here tonight that no uni
versity boat race will be rowed this
year. The race was hardly possible, for
all the leading oarsmen at both Oxford
and Cambridge have gone 10 the front
or are engaged with officers in training
army corps.
The oxford Cambridge boat race was
instituted in 1929, and has been held
annually without a break for sixty
years.
The last time il was abandoned was
In 1855 during the Crimean War. AS
soon, however, as the treaty OF PARIS
was signed the race was resumed, and
it has been rowed on the Thames ever
since.
When the present war started all
competitive sport ceased az Oxford and
Cambridge, and, like the boat race, other
inter-'varsity contests have been aban-
doned. A few scratch football matches
with public school teams have beer
played and some sculling has been
casually INDUCED in, but only as an
aid 20 military training.
