Create Rivalry Between
Parties on Prohibition
Is Proposed by Bryan

Indianapolis. November 1S.-Wllliam J..
Bryan, former Secretary of State, at Il
conference with delegates to the conver-
ton of the National Womens Christian
Temperance association here late today
advised the women to do everything
possible to stimulate rivalry between the
democratic and republican parties in the
cause of prohibition
THE democrats have got to take the
cry side he said, land the republicans
will be forced to it,
He reiterated his former statements
that he intended to work for a constitu-
tional prohibition amendment. Speaking
of the recent election he declared the
democrats had won in a way to relieve
them from responsibility to the liquor
interests. Mr.. Bryan advised the women
to write to their senators and congress
men in favor of prohibition
The present fashions in women's dress
were condemned by Mrs. Lurenda r.
Smith of Ottawa, Kan. She said:
Cry aloud against the immodest dress
of women and girls. The time is here
that one cannot tell by the dress of wom-
en- the pure woman from the courtesan,
so flagrantly immodest has the fashion

WILSON DISCUSSES
MEXICAN DEADLOCK
Conference on Situation Is
Held at White House With
Cabinet Members

Washington. November 1S-The
deadlock reached by the Joint inter
national commission in session at At
lantic City to discuss Mexican border
problems was taken up tonight at a
White House conference between Presi-
dent Wilson, Secretary Lane chairman
of the United States commissioners;
Secretary Lansing and Secretary Baker.
Mr.. Lane arrived here from Atlantic
City today to report to the President
on the situation. On entering the White
House he would not discuss the out
look. He and Secretaries Lansing and
Baker are understood to have gone
over in detail the objections raised by
Luis Cabrera, chairman of the Next
can delegates, to the suggested plan of
border control.
Officials have made it plain that if
satisfactory arrangements for the pro-
lection of the border can be made, Gen
eral Pershngs American troops in
Mexico will be withdrawn
The three cabinet members remained
with the President for three hours.
Secretary Lane said afterward that he
was well satisfied" with the situation
and would return tomorrow to Atlantic
City where the conference with the
Mexican delegates will be resumed
Monday Asked whether there was any
prospect of a settlement at Atlantic
City. he replied:
1--WE are good settlers"
There are indications that definite
developments in the situation might
follow Secretary Lanes return to At
lantic City, and that a decision one way
or the other might be reached within
a few days

lack of action was evident from the
appearance of the two belligerent mem
bers of the board. Mr. Truss made a
significant statement.
1t is known that the commissioner of
public safety was about to introduce a
resolution prohibiting corporal punish
ment of prisoners worked by the city.
This resolution was scheduled to be in
troduced at last weeks meeting. 1t may
be introduced at next Tuesdays meet
ing. The board is split upon the ques-
ton involved.
THE time has come when there are
not enough white prisoners in Birming-
ham to justify employing foreman to
work them on the outside" said Mr..
Truss after the conference. 'On Monday
I shall issue an order that no more white
prisoners shall be worked on the streets.
This order will stand unless there is
a material change in the situation re-
garding white prisoners
Another order l shall issue Monday
will have to do with corporal punish
ment of prisoners. The suggestion has
been made by the president of the board
that good results have been obtained
in other cities without resorting to cor
poral punishment. L am willing to try 1t
out. 1t is upon the recommendation of
President Ward that | am taking this
step, and I hope the results will justify
the wisdom of the change.
Both of these matters will be brought

Montgomery, November -(Spe-

called upon to decide whether or not
sessions of the county boards of equal
ization can be extended beyond Au-
gust 1 by order Of the state board OF
equalization and great interest is be-
ing shown in the case as the effect
iveness of the new revenue law will
depend in large measure upon the
decision.
In four counties last year Jefferson
Mobile, Walker and Tuscaloosa the
county boards of equalization could
not complete their work by August
l and the state board of equalization
called special sessions after that date
The treasurer of Mobile county de-
clined to pay the per diem of mem
bers of the Mobile board on the ground
that the revenue law of 1915 did not
provide for sessions after August 1
The city court of Mobile supported the
contention of the Mobile treasurer and
the supreme court was called upon to
construe the law. A decision will be
rendered during the latter part of the
year
Several sections of the revenue law
say that sessions shall not extend be-
yond August /. but the state board
of equalization contends that the leg
islature did not intend to prevent the
calling of special sessions when the
business of the state warranted. The
provisions of the law are indefinite
and decision of the court is neces

The democratic vote in Jefferson
county in the recent election showed a
heavy increase over the election four
years ago, while the vote of the OPP

John &. Bethea, chairman of the coun-

In view of the strenuous campaign
which the republicans waged the gains
made by the democrats and the losses
of the reunited republicans were high
