DANGER AT LOTHIAN

Dothan, July 9.-Threatened by rising waters of Merger creek, three miles west of Columbia, members of four families climbed into trees and were marooned until boats were built and sent to their rescue. Residents of Woods Mill com munity were forced to leave their homes on account of the onrush of water, and they gathered at the homes of people residing at highest points. They were driven from these between and o'clock Sunday morning, and safety was sought in treetops, where they clung until the improvised boats reached them.
 When news of conditions reached Co., lumba. no lumber being available, the people demolished the ice plant, and the blanks were used in building boats for the rescuing party. Nine men were taken from the top of one tree, and a one-armed man was found clinging alone to another tree. Three of the residents of Wood s Mill community are unaccounted for

 There have been no deaths in Mobile from the storm, which damaged the wa ter front and is believed to have caused much loss to small vessels, but tonight reports came that two bodies had been washed ashore at Fort Morgan, 40 miles from here. The bodies were believed to be those of sailors whose vessels might buried the bodies lRt kept some rings and other trinklets the dead men wore, hoping to identify them. There was noth- ing to indicate from what vessel the bodies came
 Sunday proved an almost perfect day here and thousands of persons thronged the water front, and crowds went to the ball game, the first played since the hurricane. Efforts were centered on re- storing conditions to. normal and by to- night nearly all the debris in the city streets had been removed while repair men worked on telephone and telegraph lines seeking to put them in order.
 Railroad schedules were being restored today and trains were being operated on delayed schedules. The Mobile and Ohio tracks are saId to be clear between Mobile and Meridian.

SUBMARINE CAPTAIN

Agents of the Submarine Claim That It Is a Merchantmen on a Peaceful Mercantile Errand-Will Carry on a Return Trip a Cargo of Nickel and Crude Rubber.

Baltimore, July 9. - The worlds first submarine mer- chantman, the German under water liner Deutschland, an- chored below Baltimore to- night after voyaging safely across the Atlantic, passing the allied blockading squadrons> and eluding enemy cruisers watching for her off the Ameri- can coast. She carried mail and a cargo of 750 tons of cost Iy chemicals and dyestuffs and is to carry back home a similar amount of nickel and crude rubber, sorely needed by the German army.
 
 Fifteen days out from Bremerhaven to Baltimore, the submarine reached safety between the Virginia capes at 1:45 o'clock this morning, passing in on the surface covered by a heavy pail of darkness which settled over the entrance of the bay with the set ting of the moon. Once inside the visitor threw caution aside and began shrieking his siren, signalling pilot and at the same time attracting the attention of the tug Thomas F. Tim mins, which had been waiting in the lower bay for nearly two weeks to greet the Deutschland and convoy her | into port.

DEMOCRATS UNITING ID FORCE ACTION 0N ARMY AND NAVY BILL
Approach of the National Campaigns Brings Out Amendments to the Cor
 rupt Practices Act

Washington, July 9.-Democrats in Con- gross are uniting their forces to compel early action on the army and navy ap- propriation bills. the revenue measure and the government shipping bill. the most important legislative measures remaining on the administration programme.
 The national defense appropriations, whose totals as they passed the House have been vastly increased by Senate com mittees, are certain to meet stubborn re- sstance in conference. It also is certain that the shipping bill will encounter re- publican opposition in the Senate These prospects have upset all adjournment pre- dictions. and administration leaders are resigned to the prospect of remaining here if necessary until fall.
 TO PRESS BILL
 When Senate democrats in caucus yes terday determined to press the shipping bill and amended it in order to satisfy members of their own party, they served notice on the republicans that their chal- lenge of filibuster had been accepted. Now that there are assurances of enough votes to pass the bill without republican help, however, the republican threat of a filibuster is not taken so seriously by democratic leaders.
 The Senate will begin work on the navy bill this week. as soon as the agricul- tural appropriation bill is passed
 The administrators revenue bill. de- signed to produce s197 900 next year. is to be passed by the House late tomor- row. Several amendments designed mainly to clarify. phraseology were agreed to a. meeting of the ways and means committee deomcrats today. With ths bill out of the way and the revenue fight shifted to the Senate, the House will try to clear the calendar of importan. measures, including probably the general dam bill, designed to regulate water rates and rights
 AMENDMENTS IN ORDER
 With the advance of the national polit- ical campaigns, amendments to the so- called corrupt practices law are in con temptation in both houses. Senator Owens bill, reported from the Senate elections cCmmittee, and the Ruckef pill, report ed from the House elections committee, proposes to restrict the aggregate ex- penditures of candidates for United States senator to S5C00 each and for represen- tative in Congress half that amount. They prescribe that presidential and vics presidential candidate shall expend not exceeding s50.00O and $25.0oo respectively
 The conference report on the rivers and harbors appropriation bill will be called up in the House early this week. and later in the Senate.

At Prattyille, Marion Junction and Old Cahaba, back waters inundated thousands of acres of land and caused great damage to crops, outbuildings and live stock. Numerous bridges in those vicinities were washed away. Along the Cahaba river during the night the rise was unexpected and rapid. The settlements flooded are mostly negro settlements, consisting of plantation laborers. These negroes were awakened Sunday morning by the water inside their homes, and it was with difficulty that many of them made their way to high ground.

BOTH PARTIES DELAY
 IN GAME OF POLITICS
 BEFORE CONGRESS
Democrats Will Push Forward on the Ship Purchase Bill-Child Labor Bill Is Opposed by Enlight-
 ened SOutherners
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Fly HUGH w. ROBEHES
 Nnshington July o. (Spceial) While the presidential campaign in the open field will not begin furiousIy to rage before the coming of fall, it is being fought out in Congress ot such a great extent that the date of prob able adjournment is postponed indefi- niteIy.
 The democrats believe that it will be good politics" to enact the ship purchase bill berore the election in No- vember. The republicans believe that it would be to their advantage to post pone the enactment of that measure until after the election
 As n matter of fact, the republi- cans served notice on the democrats that they would agree to name day on which the ship purchase bill would be voted on and passed next pecem- Der, with the threat that unless thnt offer be accepted. n republican filibus- ter would keep Congress in session throughout the summer. The democrats caucused, and agreed to proceed im- mediately to put the ship purchase measure into law.
 As a result, Congress instead of ad- journing August 1. will adjourn or some indefinite hour in September, ac. cording to present indications. The delay vii be due primarily to re- publican filibuster against the shir purchase and Immigration bills, ant a southern democratic filibustei against the child labor bill
 And thus both sides. playing poll. tics. will extend this expensive session of Congress to an indefinite length.
