HENDERSON THINKS INFRINGEMENT PLAN
 IS POLITICAL GAME
(Contiuued from Page Onep

governor this afternoon. Tn the very beginning, we differed on the question of statutory prohibition. When the legislature won its fight, l issued message in which l declared that 1 would do my utmost in an effort to enforce the law. And then we diff fered on the question of adjournment. The legislature desired to adjourn at some stated period. I took the posi- ton that the legislature should ad- journ when something had been ac- complished. As a matter of fact, l told certain leaders of the legislature that if they planned to adjourn with out accomplishing any result. they might as well adjourn that day as at the conclusion of the twentieth work ing day.
 "I do not believe that the leaders of the legislature are nettled because l recommended in message of yester- day that their salaries be held up until we had discharged other obliga-
 tions. The leaders are certainly pa- triots, and it was on the ground of
 patriotism that I made my appeal Therefore. my message could not have caused them to take their action in caucus today.
 At any rate, have endeavored to
 heal any wounds which may have been the result or original differences. l have met the members at least half
 way. In the beginning, I assumed
 conciliatory position. and m stating
 points of difference. have expressly
 conveyed the idea that 1t was quite
 natural that men and bodies might
 honestly disagree. From this time on
 the leaders may proceed. I am not at
 all perturbed.'
 Big Prohibition Stick"
 That there is a single point of ma terial difference between the gover nor and the legislature is creating gos sip in Montgomery. The impression seems to prevail that prohibition lead CTS are using the "big stick" becaus in the beginning when the organiza tion of the branches of the legislatur was under way Mir. Henderson declines to be "bullied" or to yield to threats As is recalled. prior to the organiza ton, a delegation of prohibition lead CTS visited MT. Henderson at his hom in Troy. There they told the governo that they had the bowed to do or un do and the governor was impresse, with an idea that threat was mad the unless he remained hands off h. would be- as governor, ignored. It i history that the governor smiled hi usual smile and bade the delegation good day. The question now is this:
 Are those leaders welding the 'bis stick in Alabama politics?'
 Irrespective of what the answe might be, it is fact that daily tn lobby which was on rarad during the fight for prohibition, is stil on parade, despite the truth that tn prohibition fight has been settled Ev cry day one sees either the Rev Brooks Lawrence. Bibb Graves, Bor den Burr, Fred Jackson, Walter Ses sions. Charles Rice-several of them or all of them. Why are they remain ing in command?
 Is it true that they are attenlptini to indicate to the legislature what tn legislature should do or should not d in the smooth political game which 1 under way? And if the answer ''yes," who is the ''big cheese of tn outfit?
 Who is destined to be known as tn Talleyrand of Alabama politics.

BROKE
COTTON MARKET
VERY GENERALLY

There was lack of interest and
vigor in the cotton market today, the
result of holiday and lock of mar
ket as a guide line on sales, and there
was little doing about the warehouses
here. Wagon receipts were good, but
in the absence of a market the buyers
were not inclined to take hold vigor
ously. The banks had a holiday as
well. No New York market reports
were received. Liverpool closed one to
two points above Saturdays closing
quotations. Nine cents remains the
top level price in Americas for the
finer grades.

"The Jewish New Years day, how
ever, is time for serious thought on
the meaning of life; it evokes pious
contemplation of the difficult and in

more genuinely, more truthfully, more
morally, the life God has entrusted
to us."s

QUEENSTOWN, Sept. 6.-Word has
been received here that the a len liner
Hesperian, which was torpedoed of
Fastnet last night, sank early today
while making her way back TO port.
Captain Main and members of the
crew who remained on board were TAX
en- off the ship before it foundered.
The Hesperian remained afioat vir-
tually thirty-six hours after being
struck, and it was hoped that she
could be towed into Queenstown.
Miss Carberri, aged 60, who was a
passenger, and another woman, are
reported dead from shock and expos
ure.
Twenty-four members of the crew
remained with the captain in vain eff.
fort to assist in bringing the vessel to
port. Gradually the port side of the
ship settled during the night, how
ever, and daylight found it awash.
The crew was taken in boats at the
last minute.
The sinking of the Hesperian in deen
water prevents an investigation to de-
termine whether the ship was hit by 4
torpedo Or a mine.
The passengers and crew positively
assert that the Hesperian was sunk
by torpedo, but no one has been
found who saw the submarine or the
wake of the torpedo.
So far as reported no warning was
given. The list of identified survivors
leaves many unaccounted for.
The Allen line officials are confidens
that the checking will show all hands
