FRENCH INVENTION
 USED BY GERMANS

Paris. March 20.-French scientists are claiming that the intensely powerful search,ight now used on the German zeppelins is the invention of French man. Monsieur Dussaud, who described the new lighting system to the Academy of Sciences four years ago. but 1t ap- pears not to have been put into use by the French forces merely because of red tape delay. The invention is called ''cold light" and it Is said to realize an efrec- tive Illuminating power equa, to 90 per cent of the initial energy, whereas in the ordinary lighting systems 80 to 90 per cent of the energy is absorbed in heat.
 Monsieur Dussaud's invention was pat ented in all countries of the world. A Berlin concern bought the German rights in 1913. but France ignored 1t. After the outbreak of hostilities the inventor placed himself at the disposal of the French authorities, but red tape kept the inven- ton and the inventor travelling from one office to another until Monsieur Dussaud gave up in Encouragement.
 During the recent Zeppelin raids on Paris, eye-witnesses described the Ger man light as a piercing cloud that stopped the rays of the most powerful searchlights from the entrenched camp of Paris. The light consisted of perpen- dicular flashes whose rays were so in- tense as to make the streets on which 1t was focused almost as light as day.

BILLIARD EXPERT IS HERE FOR MATCHES c. w. Henry Returns for Week of Play With Local
 Champs

It Is estimated that 5000 people witnessed the exhibitions given in Birmingham week
 before last by c. W. Henry of Boston, the Brunswick-Balke -Collender com pany's billiard expert. The demonstra- tons were given twice daily at the Green wood Cave on Twentieth street and were demonstrations only.
 So great was the interest in the ex-
 hibitions, which were open to the public, and so many requests were made that Lee H. Holt, manager of the cave. pre- vailed on MT. Henry to return to Bir- ningham and play a series of match games. This series will be put on with well known local players all this week, beginning tomorrow afternoon at 2:3O o'clock.
 Local billiard fans admired MT. Henry s skill, but an exhibition is afetr all only an exhibition, and there was a very genuine desire to see him in match play. It Is probable that Bill Morgan. Tyler and a number of the local players will have matches.
 An added feature of MT. Henry's visit this week will be free lessons which he will give each morning from 10 until 12 O clock. He will answer all questions about any shots and will show any upon request.
 MT. Henry, as Is known. Is the cham pion fancy shot of the world, and has
 hung up a number of remarkable rec ords. His straight rail run is 1500; 1S2 halk line 400 points in 12 innings for an average of B 1-3; high run three-cushion 13: high run pocket billiards on five by 10 talle with 2 5-16 ivory balls was 75 within four of the worlds record.
 MT. Henry will meet all corners at straight rail, three-cushion or pocket bil- lizards.

BARNES CANDIDATE
 BEATEN BY TANNER
Action of New York Republican State Committee Regarded as Favoring
 Hughes and Whitman

New York, April S.-Responding to pleas that crisis confronts both the republi- can party and the country, and that the national situation ought to take prece- dence over the factonal disputes, the newly elected republican state committee at meeting here today to effect organi- zation, reelected as chairman Frederick c. Tanner of this city.
 The result was regarded by the ohair- mans friends as adding strength to the movement favoring Justice Hughes for tho presidency and towards a renomina- tion for Governor Whitman.
 MT. Tanners supporters placed this in- depreciation on his election because of the fact that State Senator Charles w. Wfcks of Utica, his defeated rival, waa put forward by William Barnes of AL bany, United States Senator wadsworth, State Senator Eton R. Brown and others who favored the nomination of Elihu Root at the Chicago convention. The Tanner faction supported the Hughes movement
 The vote today was 82 for Tanner to 6s for Wicks Five of the 160 members of the committee were absent. No candidate for President was men toned, either by speakers or in a reso- lution adopted after MT. Tanners re- election. This memorial urged the nomi- nation of a tried republican. in whose ecoro and character the nation can rely as a guarantee for wise statemanship in the management of foreign and do- nestle affairs.
 MT. Tanner later indicated that per- sonally he was opposed to Roosevelt. but he would not make known a preference between Justice Hughes and MT. Root. He must be a real republican, the chairman said. He must be a re- publican, enrolled as a republican. who has been in the party for a number of years. hope that only a republican will be nominated. Don't let any member of the committee misunderstood me-. It was said by the chairman's friends that he leaned toward Justice Hughes.

HEAVY CALL MADE ON
 MERCANTILE MARINE

Liverpool, March 20.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-Although six months ago from 40 to 50 steamers were lying in the Mersey at one time wait ing for chance to dock, today this congestion has almost entirely disap- peared and what delay does occur Is due to a shortage of labor. rather than a lack of berthing accommodations. The chief reason for the falling away in the amount of tonnage coming into Liver pool is the heavy call the government has made on the British mercantile ma rine.
 Official returns for Liverpool show that from January 1 to February of this year 267 vessels, aggregating 7030SO tons, were reported inward. as compared with 32S ships of S61,224 tons, for the corre- spending period of last year, while 2S5 ships of 754,502 tons cleared outward this year, as against 367 ships of 1,113,564 tons for last year for the same period.
 No reduction in freights appears in sight. owing to the shortage of bot toms. The government is exercising it's control of shipping by forcing the steam CTS to devote themselves mainly to food stuffs.

Women Workers Drink

London. March 20.-(Special. .)--An- nual reports from the minor courts of Lancashire show an increase of drink ing among women in the manufactur- ing districts. At Rochdale the justices' records show that during the year past 17s men and 122 women were arrested for drunkenness. against 22s men and only S7 women in the year previous, Rochdale's prosperity due to the fact that the women of the laboring classes have all the employment they want and in most cases separation allow ances from soldier husbands, is held responsible for the increased drinking. There is one liquor license in the town to every PIP persons. Nearly all of the manufacturing places show similar results. The chief constable of Vivian says within the past six months the number of women visiting bars has al- most doubled. A few exceptional pointo show an improvement.

 NO-Hit Game

Auburn, April S.--(Specia1. .)-Auburn won both ends of double header from the University of Georgia here today, to and to 1, making clean sweep of the series.
 The games were featured by the heavy hitting of the Auburn batters and the sensational fielding of both teams at critical moments and the ef- fectiveness of the Auburn pitchers, de- spite the chilly weather.
 With the thermometer hanging around point signifying poor base ball weather, Price pitched six innings without allowing a hit before easing up with tho game won; and Suggs. the young southpaw, came through the
 second game without hit being gleaned off his delivery. Individually, besides the pitchers, the honors for the day rested with Ducote, who annexed two hits in the first game and drove out two home runs in the second, and Griffin, who fie1ded in superb style and also clouted three safely. A sem sational catch by Steed and the con sistent worS of Rawson, the Georgia catcher, were the other features. Auburn's fierce, timely hitting won the first game, the team scoring three runs in the first inning, added three ir the third on an error. two singles and two doubles; two in the sixth on g couple of hits and an error, and brought the total to nine in the seventh by punching two hits with hit bats.
