 Is Locked on Court Order

New York, March 21.-After the jury in the case of Rae Tanzer, charged with perjury, had delberated tonight for six hours without reaching a yer dict, Federal Judge Van Fleet at II o'clock ordered that it be locked up for the night. The indictment against Miss Tanzer resulted from a suit for breach of promise of marriage which she brought against James w. Osborne, former assistant district attorney
 The chief witness against Miss Tan ger was Charles H. Wax. who claimed that it was he and not James w Os- borne who courted her under the name of "Oliver Osborne.' Miss Tanzer. however, insisted that her wooer was the former assistant district attorney She was tried once before, but the jury disagreed.
 Franklin D. Stafford. who identified the lawyer as having accompanied Miss Tanzer on trip to Plainfield, N J., recently was convicted of perjury. In- dictments against several others are pending.

Boys of Fourth Regiment Glad to Be Home From Border, But Ready for
 COuntry's Call

Birminghams rain-soaked streets were gloomy, but the 900 Alabama na- tional guardsmen, who passed through the city yesterday en route to the state demobilization camp, avowed they "were glad to be back
 Company K of the Fourth Alabama infantry-the Birmingham company arrived at SIS o'clock last night ua- der the command of Capt. Mortimer Jordan, and paraded through the ave- nues of the city. With two other units the Birmingham guardsmen departed for Montgomery before midnight.
 The outstanding feature of the re- turn of the guardsmen was their in- quisitiveness.

 Next to war the attention of the Ameri- can government is upon one other object, the internal situation in Germany. With military censorship screening the his- tory making events franspiring within the German empire and equally screening from the German people the full mean ing of events in the world outside, the real condition of affairs in that country guardedly reflected in dispatches from abroad, commands close attention.

CAVALRY FEN ROUTE

Montgomery, March 2.-(Special.) 1.-The First cavalry regiment of Alabama is en route home with full consignment of horses and a new colonel. Information came simultaneously Wednesday that Bibb Graves, lieutenant colonel of the regiment and chairman of the state dem- ocratic executive committee, had been elected colonel as the successor of Rob- ert E. Steiner, who was promoted to the brigadier generalship of the Alabama troops and that horses sufficient to SUD- ply the various troops at the home sta tions had been shipped to Montgomery from San Antonio.
 Brfgadier General Steiner advised the military department in night letter that the horses had left and that the regi- melt was scheduled to depart from San Antonio during Wednesday. It is prob able the regiment will arrive Sunday or Monday. It is in command of Colonel Graves, who was elected at the command of the state military department Tuesday afternoon. Mai W. J. Walden of Union- town, senior major of the regiment was named lieutenant colonel as the success sor of Colonel Graves and Capt. F. c. McAlpine of Troop M of Talladega, was named major to succeed Walden. First Lieut.. l.. D. Coker of Sylacauga was elected captain of Troop M. Second Lieut.. Hugh Lester was promoted to the first lieutenancy, and Sergt. Maj. Har-
 wood c. Bowman was elected second lieu tenant.
 When the consignment of horses arrives in the state they will be distributed throughout the commonwealth in order that they may be used by the various troops in drill work and practice. Under the new national defense act, the horses will remain with the troops as long as the troops are part of the National Guard.

erly be sent to Belgium for instance, to help in the restoration of that Violated territory and to throw Americas influ- ence In a real and practicaI way on the side of international law and order
 The armed neutrality status at pres ent in force is held by the international law experts to present many points of weakness. Neither war nor peace, it involves the country in continual misun- derstending with both sides It is said to leave open the door for unlimited lit igation with Germany after the war.
 In that status the United States is still technically neutral and might be held responsible by Germany for any unneu- tral acts committed here. With an ac- tual recognition of a state of war, this difficulty would disappear.
 Moreover, Automatically the United States is in a most extraordinary situa. ton, semi-hostile to the central powers and yet not aligned with the allies. The government is not taken into the confi- dence of nations with which it formerly communicated most freely.
 Especially is this so as to the far east about which the governments informa- tion is alarmingly meagre.
 Hopes that this government will be able to take a leading part in ultimate peace conference as neutral have vanished and the belief is growing that only as an active participant will Amer ica be heard on the great questions guaranteeing the future peace.

DENSE FOG CRIPPLES
 TRAFFIC IN THE CITY
Heaviest Fog in Years Settles Over Birmingham About 10 O'Clock.
 No Accidents Reported

Birmingham developed fog last night which would rival that of London
 About 10 o'clock dense, heavy fog that made it impossible for automobilists to see 15 feet ahead of them, and de- layed materially the speed of the street cars, settled over the Birmingham val ley. On the highlands and places having a greater altitude than in the city proper the fog did not interfere with traffic, but it was one of the heaviest and worst that Birmingham has ever experienced.
 Traffic proceeded with utter caution. But had the cars shot about at a speed of 60 miles an hour, nothing could be done for once the car was 20 feet in front the pursuers would have been lost in the dense gray sheet that enveloped the city.

Five Germans and One
 Deserter Go Into Mexico

Fl Paso, March 21.-Five Germans and one deserter from the United States army crossed the international bridge to Mexico early today, according to a report in Juarez. The deserter was a member of a National Guard regiment. One of the Germans was accompanied by his family. American inspectors sta toned on the international bridge have been instructed to investigate the na- uonality of every stranger passing over the bridge into Juarez.

mained in the Birmingham college vi cinity all of Tuesday night, and up until a late hour Wednesday morning They searched all the freight cars in that vi- cinity, according to MT. White, and all freight trains going in and out were searched. But no clue was found which would lead to the recovery of the missing men,
 F. c. Winters, who is thought to have separated from the others immediately after they escaped, is still at large, and his whereabouts is thought to be more closely concealed than that of any of the other escaped prisoners, as he may have gotten out of town while the other men were being pursued last night. CAPTURE OF MESSINA ~
 Deputies are more interested in the cap ture of Sam Messna than of any of the other prisoners, and they believe that after they have found him, it will not be a hard matter to locate Anderson and Smith, who were with him when he was last seen by Deputies White and McDuff Tuesday night.
 All of the automobiles sent out Tues day morning when the escape occurred have returned to Birmingham. Officers in other cities are diligently watching for the four prisoners who have not been captured, according to officials in the sheriffs office.
 Latham, who died at the Hillman yes terday morning, was wanted in half a dozen different states on charges of for gery and was under sentence for five years for forgery committed in Birming- ham. He travelled under about dozen aliases according to officials, and his real name was J, Wyatt Mason.
 He was arrested in New orleans several weeks ago. and brought back to Bir- mingham where he plead guilty to the charge against him.
 The bullet, fired by White lodged in Latham's right shoulder. At first it was thought that the wound was not serious, but he began sinking early yesterday morning and died at 3:30 o'clock.

MAY BE KEPT IN SERVICE

At the present time there seems to be slight hope that the guardsmen will be mustered from the service. The orders that are now held by the com manding officers are to hold the men in the demobilization camp at Mont gomery awaiting developments.
 The members of the Fourth Alabama infantry are well trained for any serv- ice they admit, for during the long stay on the border they were trained in every angle of the fighting, even to digging trenches. Theirs was an ac- tive life, for the camp at Nogales was on the border and the MeXicans were active.
 Regarding the health conditions, the returning mem bers said that while pneumonia claimed good number It was largely through their ignorance of the climate. The extreme heat in the middle of the day and the cold nights was responsible for their being gripped with the malady, it was gen erally stated
 Mortimer Jordan the captain of the Birmingham company, was regarded as perhaps the most popular and eff cient captain in the camp, according to members of Company K. He ex- pressed his joy at being back in Bir mingham last night and stated that the troops were ready for any orders.

planned. By then another democrat would have been elected in the strong Tammany district formerly represented by the late Representative Conry and the democrats would have needed only three independent votes to elect a speaker.
 CAN EITHER SIDE WIN Whether either side can attract four in- dependent voters to itself is problemati- cal. The democrats base their hope of doing this largely on the recent state- ment of Representative Schall, progress sive of Minnesota, that he would retain his right to act independently and under no circumstances permit lack of his vote to delay organization of the House, and their belief that Speaker Clark is certain to poll the votes of three other independ- ents, Representative London, socialist of New York, Representative Randall pro- hibitionist of California, and Representa- tive Martin, progressive -protectionist of Louisiana.
 The republicans also claim 21S votes, classifying Representatives. -elect Fuller of Massachusetts, an independent, and Rep resentatives Schall and Martin as sup porters of Representative Mann for speaker and counting also upon Repre- sentative-elect Kelly of Pennsylvania, former progressive, elected last fall as ocrat-progressive.
 MARTINS CASE
 The case of Representative Martin is causing the political forecasters of both parties much study. Each side advances insstent arguments calculated to con vince that under no circumstances could he be expected to vote with anyone but them,
 Should neither side be able in the early voting to win four independents 1t Is con- sidered extremely likely that an effort will be made to reach an agreement to elect a speaker by 8 majority of those present This plan probably will be more readily agreed to if the five independents vote present during the early balloting voting for both candidates both demo- crats and republicans it Is thought will be willing to take a sporting chance" on the independents.
 A suggestion by Representative Towner. republican, of Iowa. that the present House organization be maintained for 8 short period in order to expedite public. business. received a cool reception in congressional circles The problems fac. ing the country are not likely to grow smaller, it was declared, and it would be best to have the organization work out of the way as quickly as possible Illness, it is now thought, will not in terfere seriously with the organization Representative Lee, democrat of Georgia and Representative Hill, republican of Connecticut aresill, but are expected to be present on the openifig day.
