Burnett Calls Huddlest0n On InSinudtiOn Alabama
 Legislature Was Bought
Sharp Clash Between Southerners From Same State Follows Discussion on New York Water Power Measure and Excites HOuse-De-
 bate Becomes Very Warm
By HUGH ". RoBERrs

II am determined to use all the power
 that within me lies to rescue the peo.
 pie of the state of New York from any such exploitation"
 In reply MT. Burnett very aggres- sively said: T would not live in a state
 where t::se legislature could be cor- rupted as the gentleman from Alabama
 insinuated could be done in the state
 where he lives. The gentleman does nor represent Alabama or it's splendid peo- pie when he talks about controlling Legislatures in the state which gave me birth.'
 REVIEWED LEGISLATION Continuing his remarks. Mir Burnett reviewed the history of legislation out of which the Alabama Power company grew. and referred to the bill passed and vetoed some years ago which would have permitted the filtration of nitrogen in Alabama.
 At that time" he continued Mir Underwood, representing then the dis trict the gentleman from Alabama now represents, spoke in defense of the bill as did every other member of the delc- gation. MT. Underwood stood then as does every member now with the ex- ception of the gentleman, who sits hinl- self up as the censor and criterion by which all others should guide them- selves
 Shortly after the applause |subsided | Mir, Huddlestons efforts to rescue New Work were frustrated i'll an avalanche
 of opposing votes.

Washington, February 10.-tSpecialo Representative Huddleston ot the Ninth Alabama, in insinuating that the Alabama. Power company has controlled an Alabama legislature, drew the fre of Representative Burnett of the Sew enth Alabama. The clash between the two excited the House to an interesting demonstration, and the sharp retorts or Mr. Burnett were received With warm applause. The issue grew out or MT. Huddleston's utilitarian efforts to save the state of New York, against the de- sire of the majority of the members of the New York delegation, from the egrasp of a certain power company"
 In the heat of debate reference was made to conditions in Alabama, This caused MT. Huddleston to discuss the alleged manner of operation practiced bv the Alabama Power company, In this regard he said
 STATE MISTREATED
 q am not going to defend conditions in Alabama, and because Alabama has been so woefully mistreated because Alabama has been SO unjustly op- pressed, because I know what these power companies will do and the pow CT they have got, and how many leg isratures they can control, and how the people are unable 10 cope with them.

"As far as the American line is con cerned, said MT. Franklin. i've have done our best in every direction to secure the necessary guns and gun crews. but 1t does not seem possible that private corporations will be able properly to equip their ships with defensive armament. The American line steamers will not be able to sail at all unless the government de- cides either to provide conveys or put on each of our steamers the guns and trained gunners essential to the safety of the passengers and crew"
 The supply of guns made by private manufacturers in this country he pointed out, has been exhausted by the demand from European countries at war. He said the St. Louis would sail if only one gun could be obtained for her. but it seemed impossible to get even this from the gov ernment or private sources.
 French and British ships are sailing to and from this port" he continued. with indifference to any orders from
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-02-11

Germany. because they are armed. but the American line has not even one gun to protect itself in case of an emergency. We should have the guns of six-inch calibre and crews to man them. There are too many lives and too much prop erty at stake to send ships out without protection
 In the effort of the line to obtain arm ament. MT. Franklin declared that every gun factory in the. United States was canvassed, without success. Even had it been possible to get the guns. he pointed out, it would take a long time to get proper crews and equipment for them
 This is the situation that now con- fronts the American line. which does not desire to jeopardize It's ships or human lives in defiance of possible enemies on the high seas,' MT. Franklin continued.
 The sailing of the Swedish-American liners Stockholm from this port Monday, February 12, for Gothenburg has been postponed indefinitely by instructions re- ceived today from the liners home office.

 The dispatch further quotes< the travellers as saying: When the neU of the rupture was received there was no panic among the Americans but intense activity at the embassy. All admired Ambassador Gerard's shirt sleeves manner of attending to busi- ness and it must be recorded that the embassy took the situation with un- qualified calm and good humor. The Germans did not exhibit anger or hatred. probably because they are rather bored by such incidents. They are not angry at the American peo- ole but extremely angry at President Wilson, whom they accuse of all sorts of wicked things. Not 10 people in Germany believe that the President Is sincere and some fools believe that he has been bought by Great Britain.
 Nobody thinks that American in-

tervention in the war would alter the military position. but it is admitted that America's sea power would natl urally help England and make Moewe raids difficult. The Germans unani- mously praise Count Bernstorff and expect that he will get an important post in the foreign office There is q corresponding ill-will against Ambas- sador Gerard who is accused of being Wilson's man or Lloyd Georges ser-3 want It is declared that he fooled Germany and that when he made his speech at the banquet given him by
 the American Association of Com- merce aad Trade he knew America
 was going to break relations with Germany. Ambassador Gerard natural- ly shrugs his shoulders at this nom sense. His last meeting with Foreign Secretary Zimmerman was most cor dial and Herr Zimmerman expressed the hope that war would be avoided.'

Atlanta Is Dry

Atlanta, February 10.-The local express office, through which liquor shipments come into Atlanta, was closed today un- der the public nuisance clause or the state prohibition law, through tempor- ary injunction granted by Superior Judge Ben H. Hill, on petition of John A. Boy kin, solicitor general of Fulton county. Hearing of petition for permanent in junction was set for Tuesday next. In his injunction petition, directed against the Southern Express company. the only express company entering Atlanta, Solicit tor Boykin charged numerous violations of the prohibition law. City and county authorities for several weeks have been seeking to force the express company to move it's liquor depot from it's present semi residential location into the busi- ness district.

It was disclosed at the department that an inquiry regarding the delay had been addressed to MT. Gerard through the Spanish ambassador at Berlin. Officials have indicated, how ever, that once Mir. Gerard and his party are safely out of Germany, the United States probably will consider the incident closed.
 Officials are confident that Germany has had in it's possession from the start the fullest information as to the courtesies granted former German of- ficials and the rights admitted to Ger man property in this country. This information has been sent daily both

Tt is a time" he said, "of anxiety for us all, time of heavy responsibility for some of us. We are looking forward into the uncertainties of the future. and we are striving to read what it holds In store for us and for our country. We can hardly close our eyes to the fact that we are standing near to the verge of the war, which has for two and a half years wasted the great empires Of Europe and brought untold woes to man kind Ominous though the situation may seem, there is always the hope that our country may be spared the terrible calam- ity of being forced into the conflict. It is now, as it has been from the beginning. the wish and endeavor of this govern ment to remain at peace with all the world if it can do so with honor.
 TIME TO THINK
 1T canont discuss here the supreme sub ject of American thought today. either to review the past or to prophecy for the future. It is not a time to speak. it is time to think, to think earnestly and deliberately. It is time for, coolness and self-restraint, rather than for sur render to the natural impulses which are aroused by great events affecting the na- tional honor, the national duty and the national welfare of our country.
 'T can only say this. that with the same patience. the same forebearance, the same deliberation and care, with which he has met the previous difficulties

in our foreign affairs, the President will meet the present crisis. The nation can trust him to act justly and honorably and fearlessly whatever may lie before us. In his hands the destiny of the United States is sure; the national honor is safe"
 The secretary took for his subject "col- lege spirit" the loyalty of college man for his alma mater. he said is sentiment making for patriatism because it is one of the elements of national life not based on material interest or selfish motive.
 SHOULD BE SENTIMENTAL
 I've should rejoice" he continued. that in some things at least we can be senti- mental in an age when the general dis position of men is to reduce everything to terms of utility and when the stand ard of excellence Is sought in answering the question-to what material use can it be put that question embodies to my mind the general tendency of modern though to the various phases of the re- lationship of man to man and of man to society
 '' LOSING IDEALS
 The American people-and think they are no different from other peoples. have been growing more and more utili- tarian in these later years; their thoughts and acts more and more influenced by what is called the practical and less by what is called the ideal. Immediate and tangible benefit is the apparent goal of American efforts.
