AMENDMENT TENDS
 TO AID MOBILE PORT
Underwood Wants This Port Put on Same Basis as Galveston in
 Handling Cotton

Washington, February 4.-Special.) Senator Underwoods amendment to the agricultural bill provides for the admis- sion at Mobile and Gulfport of tick in- fected cattle.
 The object of the amendment was not primarily to secure the admission of tick infected or any other kind of cattle The senator desired that Mobile be put on commercial equality with Galveston Tex
 As previously reported in The Age- Herald. Congress, some years ago, en- acted law which permits tick infected cattle from Mexico to enter Texas. Un- der the friendly nation clause.' if Mex ico is given a right. other nations are also entitled to that right. As result, for eign vessels, on which incidentally cattle might be carried, are excluded from Mo- bile whereas they can enter Galveston. Trade has been deflected, in consequence to the Galveston port.
 Senator Underwood contends that the provision in favor of Galveston is un- constitutional The agricultural depart ment, speaking through Secreatry Hous- ton, does not take issue regarding that statement The department, however contends that it cannot make movement in favor of Mobile within an additional act of Congress. Therefore, Senator Un- derwood offered his amendment.
 If it prevails. Mobile will be materially aided in increasing it's trade with other cities and nations of the world, 1t Is said

ATTORNEY GENERAL ISSUES STATEMENT
 ON OFF|CE STATUS
Says Intolerable Conditions of Law Violations Exist, But Has No Money
 to Work

Montgomery, February 4.-(Special.] Asserting that intolerable conditions exist in Mobile, Montgomery and Russell coun- ties and that drastic and persistent ef- forts must be begun if the sovereignty of the law is upheld. William L. Martin, attorney general in an official statement Saturday afternoon, declared that he was ready to do the work if either Governor Henderson or private individuals fur nished the money to be used in the cam paign. He mentioned the fact that the supreme court had held that his accounts must receive the approval of the gov ernor and declared that he has the as- sistants and is willing to begin the work at once, but must have expense funds
 Attorney General Martin went into de- tails in explaining the need for cam- paign against law violators in Mobile, Montgomery and Russell counties. lie said in Mobile ''the open, notorious and unhindered violation of the prohibition law has led to a wave of crime" that the ,lawless element has returned to Russell county since adequate funds were with held from his office and that "in Mont gomery an open and notorious violation of the prohibition law exists
 Attorney General Martin declared that local officers "are either unable or un- willing to do effective work and that if necessary, judges and solicitors should be supplanted by those who are capable and willing and special deupties substi- tuted for sheriffs''
 Referring to plans for the elimination of law violations, the attorney general said My office has the power and au- thority and a force of capable prosecut- ing officers at its command But funds are required for their expenses on spe- cial duty and for the expenses and com pensation of such special deputies as may be necessary. If the governor is willing to lend his cooperation and au- thorize the mourning of necessary ex- penses the work in these counties will be begun. If the governor is unwilling for this expense to be incurred, I am still able to proceed but only with private finan- cial assistance. If the people of the state who believe in law enforcement are will ing to supply funds to be drawn on when needed, this work will be begun"

German consuls in this country are ex- pected by this government to be with drawn and to leave the country imme- diately. Germany will be given oppor- tunity to arrange this.
 Americans in Germany and Germans in America will be granted absolute free dom to depart and every effort will be made to remove all Americans possible from that country. While unofficial re- ports indicate there are 5000 Americans in Germany, the latest figures at the state department show a smaller number, perhaps a thousand less.
