 WAKE OF SUBMARINE .5. At first it was thought on board the flagship that the wake was that or torpedo, but from subsequent reports from other ships, and in the opinion of Lieutenant K, who was on the bridge. it was probably the wake of the sub marine boat itself. Two torpedoes passed close to the A. from port to star board, one about 30 yards ahead or the ship and the other under her stern, as the ship was turning to the nortnwara. Captain r. reports the incident thus; Steaming in formation on zigzag courses, with base course 70 degrees F. S. C., standard speed.

 The proposed constitutional amendment is the first initiated by Congress since that providing for popular election of United States senators. approved in 1911 It Is the first time that either branch of Congress has approved con stitutional amendment for prohibition A few years ago similar resolution in tke House received majority, but failed of the required two-tfirds. LEADERS ARE HOPEFUL Prohibition leaders of the House now claim enough votes to insure submission of an amendment to the states. and VIII seek early discussion in the House.
 The Senates action today came after three days of debate. All efforts to amend the resolution failed except for the addition of Senator Hardfng's amendment fixing the six years time limit within which three- -fourths of the states must ratify the amendment to make it effective. This was approved, 56 to 23.
 As adopted, the resolution, which was submitted by Senator Sheppard of Texas, democrat would add the following ar ticle to the federal constitutions:
 The manufacture sale or transporta- ton of intoxicating liquors, within, the importation thereof into, or the expor- tation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdic- ton thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.

ALABAMA SENATOR'S |PART COMPANY ON SUBMISSION VOTE Bankhead, for Resolution,
 Does Not Yield States Rights Sentiment FINAL ACTION MEANS
 PROHIBITION FIGHTS This Is Expected Result if Lower
 House Follows Lead of Senate in
 Placing Issue Before Vari- ous Legislatures
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, August 1.-(Special). on a vital issue parted company to- day. Senator Bankhead voted for the prohibition amendment to the consti- tuition. Senator Underwood voted against it. Tn voting to submit the amendment to the legislatures of the several states Senator Bankhead, it IS known, did not mentally yield his iilz herent belief in the right of states to govern themselves. It was his opinion that such action should be taken in order that in the future Congress might proceed in matters of legisla- ton solely on the merits of such leg islation
 It is his conviction that especially in time of war congress should not be driven to support or oppose any propo- sition in accordance with it's bearing on the apparently all absorbing liquor question.
 VIEW OF UNDERWOOD
 Senator Underwood opposed the sub mission of the amendment because of what he considers the acute danger reposing in the current tendency to supplant the government of states by the government of the United States.
 It is his opinion that in purely do- mestic affairs each state should De permitted to enact it's own laws; that no state or set of states should be permitted to force obnoxious legisla- ton on other unwilling states.
 BANKHEAD EXPRESSES REGRET
 Senator Bankhead expressed deep re- gret over what he considered the ne- cessity of parting company with the junior senator. Though outvoted, the junior senator is optimistic in the knowledge that he responded to the instruction of his corscience and in the conviction that the majority of the people of Alabama believe in mat ters involving state rights as he be- lieves. In this connection it is pointed out that during the Alabama campaiGn for the election of delegates to the

There has been quite hole dug in the coal pile, due in the main to the cold which so far is beating last winter hollow, and last winter was some cold itself There is also tendency reported to revert to the consumption of crude oil in heaters although the objection as to it's greasiness and dirt has not been very we'll overcome except in a few l houses.
