 Selma Times: Alabama's new child lapor laws are intended to safeguard the rights of every child to a good common school education. They also strive to lift some of the employment burdens off the shoul- ders of children, which make them old while they are yet young, and saps their physical powers while in the formative stage. Experts and social workers have pronounced Alabama's new laws regulat- ing child labor as being the most advanced and efficient for good to be found in any state in the union. It is to be hoped they will be rigidly enforced.

To Start Work On Federal Building

The fact that the urgent deficiency bill which passed the House of Repre- sentatives Monday includes an item of $100,000 for the federal building to be erected on Fifth avenue shows that the work of construction will soon begin probably within the next few months" said Charles M. Allen, the we'll known contractor
 Thus far Congress has appropriated $1,20O,O00 for the new edifce. Of this amount about $365,000 was made avail able promptly to pay for the site. Over $S00,000 is left for construction, and Congress will make this available from time to time as the work proceeds. As the building is to cover an area of $50 feet by 135 feet, this $lO0,0OO will just about pay for the foundation It will re- quire between nine months and a year to complete the foundation, and from three to four years to finsh the build ing.
 Uncle Sam is a great believer in inspection. Inspectors come along every 1eW weeks to pass on the progress of the work, and of course the officials on the job are inspecting daily. Every brick or piece of stone is inspected be- fore it is placed in the building. This is why more time must be allowed for government construction than for other classes of buildings.
 We contractors and others will be glad indeed to see work on the fed eral building started. It will give very decided impetus to the real estate market and the building trades.
 By the way, the building outlook here is exceedingly bright. I think early spring will witness great activ- ity in our line"

HOTEL LOBBIES
Theatres Come Back

Notwithstanding the popularity of the motion picture houses, and the prophecy so often expressed that they would close up the other theatres, there has been a decided come back in the regular the atre business this season." said M. l.. Semon, manager of the Lyric. For sev- eral months past our business has been on an upgrade, and capacity houses have been the rule.
 q understand that at the Jefferson every meritorious show has been well patronized, and with the big attractions seats have been at a premium. This in dicates that people have by no means lost their appreciation Of the spoken word, and while wonderful results are obtained on the films, I do not believe they will ever take the place of the legit- innate stage"

MUNITI0N SALES TO
ALLIES OPPOSED BY
BIG PARTY IN DIET

Especial Cable to Hawaii Shinpo.)
TOXIC. Japan, Jan. 27.-Because
Count Okuma and the cabinet favored
selling ammunition to Russia and Eng
land without the consent of the Diet,
the house of peers is attacking the
premier. They state that the action
is unconstitutional, and the majority
of the members of this body are now
opposing the premier on these
grounds.
Heretofore the attacks against the
premier have come from radical par
ties of the house of commons, but at
the present the upper house as well
as many of the people of Japan are
openly attacking Count Okuma for his
stand. His resignation is expected,
but Coant Okuma has announced that
he will fight it out with the members
Of the upper house, and expects his
opponents to resign from that body.

has officially recognized the Yunnan
government in China. Yesterday af-
ternocn, the German consul in Yum
nan Flu sent a formal notice of the
recognition of the provisional govern
ment by the German government.
The recognition of the Yunnan
party by Germany has caused much
discussion in this city, and many
statesmen in Japan are discussing the
advisability of Japan's giving recog-
milton to the new republic.
Politicians believe that this move
on the part of Germany in recogniz-
ing the republic means that Germany
will seek foothold in China Diplo-
mats state that the present situation
in China is a difficult one to solve,
and many agree that Germany will not
be the only country to recognize the
Yunnan republic.

M'CARN SAID TO BE AT
WORK AGAINST JUDGES
ROBERTSON AND WHITNEY

The rumored selection of the Iowa
man, Huber, as district attorney for
Hawaii comes as an entire surprise
TO local politicians. Il is now conjec.
tured that the Encouragement and
the president regard Senator Coke as
technically disqualified from serving,
as previous reports were almost un.
animous In saying that Coke was first
choice for the place held by Jeff Nc,
earn of Tennessee during two stormy
years and now temporarily held by
Horace w. Vaughan Of Texas.
Coke's disqualification arises from
the fact that his term as territorial
senator still continues. and under the
organic act he cannot take such an
appointiye position as the district at
t0rneyship.
Whether McCarn has been backing
Huber for the position is not known
here. His fight on Vaughan is GER
tainly being kept up. Furthermore, II
is reported on good authority that
Mccarn is organizing fight in the
u. s. Senate against the confirmation
OF two Hawaii judges given recess ap-
pointments by the president-Chief
Justice Robertson and Circuit Judge
Whitney. II is said that McCarn
hopes that he can line up enough Dem.
ocratic votes in the senate to defeat
their confirmation on the ground that
they are Republicans, and that he
claims further, they are under
the influence of the big interests"
here-a set of charges in this regard
somewhat similar to those by Circuit
Judge Stuart against Justices Robert.
son and Watson.
Justice Quarles before leaving for
the mainland not long ago was credit
ed with the remark that he would not
return to Hawaii II the chief justice
were confirmed, but his fellow mem
bers of the bench and bar do not
think he would relinquish his position
on this account.
Were il not for the fight which Nc
earn is known to be making on Dis
trict Attorney Vaughan, the reported
selection OF Huber for the IT, S. dis
trict attorneys position would be TAX
en- as heralding the appointment OF
Vaughan as federal Judge to succeed
the veteran S. B. Dole. But persist
ent rumors from Washington say that
McCarn's charges. first made by let
ter and cable and later taken on per-
sonally, are so explicit that not until
further information is secured will
the department of Justice recommend
action by the president.
