BIRMINGHAM PLAN
 TO GET REVENGE:
 LOOKS GOOD HERE
Loss of Liquor License Over come by Tax on Ship
 lnentS Of Booze.

Little Rock, May 3.-Little Rock and other Arkansas cities that are in- ferested in the raising of revenue for the necessary expenses of the city government are deeply concerned 2bcnt the Birmingham plan.
 Alabama is a lso a dry state and the cities have been deprived of the sa- loon license they have been receiving. But that does not mean there is no 'ntcxicants sold and consumed in Birmingham Far be it from so The railroads and express companies are
 doing thriving business, and the Pirming gham council conceived the plan of securing revenue from the liquor shipped into the city. So an ordinance was passed providing for
 an inspection of liquor shipments, with fee of 90 cents per package. l. is working admirably so far, although it will of course have to run the
 gauntlet of constitutional lawyers through the state courts. It is esti- mated that if will produce about $150-
 00O per year.
 All of which calls attention to the fact that while Arkansas is nominaliy
 a dry state. there is great quantity
 of liquor consumed in the state. It has been estimated that there is an average of 300 packages daily receiv- ed through the express offices nere, besides the large amount that comes by freight. especially beer. A nomi~ nal tax on these shipments, for ill., spection. would quickly solve the rev
 enue problem of the city, and would
 provide an effectual check on liquor
 so that blind tigers" could be stop

ding that the visit had been a pleas

STRINGENT PROHIBITION
UNDER THE GEORGIA LAW
Locker Clubs Closed and Dispensing
of Liquor by Other 0rganiza.
lions Forbidden.

ATLANTA. Ga. April 2?.-Georgia's
new prohibition law. one of the most
stringent passed by any state. prac-
tically went into effect this midnight.
The anti-shipping provision serves to
close the locker clubs and beer saloons
and stops dispensing of liquor by the
more influential social organizations
after May /.
Virtually all the clubs had purchased
stocks in the past few months with
the proviso that any left over could be
shipped back when the law went into
effect. Much of this was shipped out
of the state today and tonight
Difficulties in Way of Buyer.
Many difficulties are placed in the way
of the person who wishes to have
shipped the small amount allowed by
the law. Transportation companies are
held responsible for the consgnee sign
ing a receipt, attested by a notary
public and the delivery of the receipt
to county ordinaries. Attorney General
Walker yesterday decided that the
transportation companies could not
charge the usual notary fee for wit
Messing such receipts and that every
agent of the companies could act as
notary to the extent of witnessing
liquor shipment receipts.
One express company has announced
that it will not denver liquor. but a
Atlanta has leased spacious store
room. where all liquor shipments Will
be handled and where special accommo-
dations have been provided for con-
signees to get their packages and go
through the legal form with as little
annoyance possible.
The law prohibiting advertising OF
liquor will make 1t necessary for such
advertisements in newspapers and
periodicals to be eliminated before they
can be sold in Georgia.
Conditions Prescribed.
Statutes which govern the new con-
ditions are composed of three laws
passed at a special session of the legis-
lature, which met last December. Brief
~ they provide that no beverage con-
tanning more than one-half of one per
cent alcohol may be sold, that one per-
son may not receive more than two
quarts of liquor or forty-eight pints OF
beer or one gallon of wine In any thirty
days, and that no liquor advertising
may appear in any publication dis
tributed in the state.
Under the old law. operative for
number of years, the alcoholic percent
age above ed made beer saloons possible.
and in the absence of shipping regu-
lations, locker clubs could operate.

'In the region of Verdun the enemy

FOR BETTER BREED OF HORSES
Senator Pittman Introduces Bill Call.
ing for $500. 600 Appropriation

For the purchase by the govern
ment of pure bred stations to be loan
ed for breeding purposes. Senator Pitt
man of Nevada yesterday introduced a
bill calling for an appropriation of
100000. 1t is believed that in this
way the stock of medium and light
weight horses for military, agricul-
tural and commercial purposes may
be improved.
There are 100000 horses in the
United States. OF these less than $780,
900 are fit for military use. according
to a census recently made under the
direction of the quartermaster general
of the army. Army officers contend
that there are enough suitable horses
to mount or equip one army; that
within few months after the outbreak
OF hostilities with a first class power
the United States would be Obliged to
use inferior horses for remounts.

Strong Influence of obregon.

Reports from the border continue
20 indicate that Gen. Obregon has IN
fused new life into the Mexican troops
in the region where Villa was last
reported and where American cavalry
last encountered his adherents. 1t was
suggested that the return of CarranZa
troops to the Guerrero region might pc
for the purpose of pressing the advan-
tage over the bandits gained by the
American forces in their rapid drive.
SO far as known there are few Ameri-
can patrols now in that section.
Another indication of the spirit IN
which Gen. Obregon came to the con-
ference is found in adviceS that when
he passed through Chihuahua he Or
dered released all supplies shipped from
the border for the American troops
and detained by CarranZa commanders.
Gen. Scott unquestionably would have
asked that this be done had not the
war minister already taken the neces-
sary step. 1t is understood the ship
ments now are going forward.
State Department advices reported
Mexico. although about seventy Ameri-
cans are gathered at MaZatlan and
Manzanillo. on the west coast. await
ing transportation to the United States.
The department had nothing to con-
firm rumors that the continued pres
ence of American troops in Mexico was
creating a crisis for the de facto gov
eminent at the capital

CONFEREES DISAGREE
ON PENDING ARMY BILL
In Deadlock Over Important Fea-
lures and Likely to Ask
Instructions.

After three days of deliberation on
the army bill the conferees of the
Senate and House found themselves
last night deadlocked over some Of the
important features at issue between
the two houses. There was strong in
tfmation that a disagreement would be
reported, and the Senate and House
asked for further instructions as to
how the conferees should proceed.
The size of the regular army. the
proposals of the Senate for volun :
teer army and for a government MI
trate plant, according to one of the
conferees, have caused the deadlock.
At Odds Over Size of Army.
The Senate conferees are insisting
upon the provision in the
Senate bill for a regular army of $50
0f0 men, and Representative Kahn, the
republican House conferee. is standing
with them. Representatives Hay and
Dent. however. are insistent upon the
House provision for 100000 men.
Representative Kahn pointed out to
the conferees that his amendment for
an army of 100000 had been defeated
by only a small majority. when the
House had the bill under considera-
tlOn. SlQCe tnaL Ilmt, DkS dFmV ucH
contend, international developments
have caused a change of feeling on
the part of many representatives.
Views of Administration Men.
Some administration leaders think
the House might now be brought to
accept the 100000 Senate proposal
should the conferees fail TO agree I,
was said last night that should a dis
agreement be reported the Senate
might consent to give UP it's volunteer
army plan and accept instead the Ma
tional Guard reserve provision of the
House bill, and might also abandon
the government nitrate plant provision.
which, 1t is conceded generally, never
will be accepted by the House.
