By FRED H. GoRMIEY

Montgomery, January 2.-(SpeciaL) William ". Brandon of Tuscaloosa, can- didate for governor as statewide pro- hibitionist and a states rights man, knocked two times at the door of public opinion this week, giving two raps, which have been heard throughout the state and which have caused as much comment among all factions as any others which have been sounded since the campaign began.
 His first rap appealed to those opposed to the federal prohibition amendment His second attracted the attention of those favoring the amendment. The first

New Admiralty Board Named

London, January 12.-The new admir- alty board is announced officially. There is nothing sensational or dramatic about the list of names and only one naval member of the board was not serving at the admiralty when Admiral Sir John P. Jellicoe was the head. He is Rear Admiral Sidney R. Fremantle, who be- comes deputy chief of staff to Vice Ad- miral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, the new first sea lord. Archibald S. Hurd, the naval critic, says it is apparent that no revo- lutionary disturbance of the main lines of naval policy is indicated. He adds that behind the new board is the reorganized war staff, for which some of the most brilliant young officers have been chosen.

rap was inte ded to inform the voters that MT. Brandon was opposed to the ratification of the amendment The sec ond was to tell them that his campaign manager, Judge Henry B. Foster, believed the amendment should be adopted
 POLITICAL ANOMOLY
 The two declarations have furnished Alabama political anomaly. For so long that the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, it has been the practice in Alabama for candidate and campaign manager to have views alike on impor- tant issues of the campaign. This cam paign centers about the adoption of the amendment and on this question Judge Brandon and his manager have split. Judge Brandon sees nothing but states rights. Judge Foster says the federal amendment should be adopted and with proper effort success in Ala bama is assured.'
 Friends of the Tuscaloosa candidate can see nothing but a master political stroke. They contend that Judge Foster is strong enough among the amendists to carry his chief many votes and that ONuEG . poSAllOlA III OPJOSItlci lO the amendment will mean a big follow ing of those opposed to the amendment.
 COMMENT OF OPPOSITION
 The comments of friends of candidates opposed to Judge Brandon furnish the greater interest than those of his friends. It is contended by those who do not favor Judge Brandon that the plan has been carefully worked out by Judge Brandon and his campaign manager, where he may get the votes comn' and gwine;" that Judge Foster can handle those opposed and Judge Foster those favoring the amendment.
 Supporters of Thomas F. Kilby, na- tion-wide prohibition candidate; Charles E. Teasley, state-wider but nonamendist, and John H. Wallace. Jr., local optionist from the word go, contend that the mo- tive is so plain that any person can see it and that it cannot carry Judge Bran don to the goal. They say his organiza- ton must be for the amendment or against it.
 FORTER'S POSITION UNIQUE Judge Fosters position in this cam paign is unusual if not unique. He is a

member of the board of trustees of the Alabama Anti-Saloon league. This or ganization, through it's central committed, has indorsedd Thomas E. Kilby. Judge Foster is for the prohibition amendment. MT. kilby is the representative of the campaign of those favoring the amend ment, while the man whose campaign Judge Foster is managing is opposed to the amendment. Judge Foster believes in the work of the Anti-Saloon league and believes 1t is right in fighting for the adoption of the amendment. Gle says with proper effort success in Alabama is assured)." but he insist that the man opposed to the amendment should be made governor. One candidate this week read Judge Fosters telegram to the Anti-Saloon league and replied with this maxim: Consistency, thou art a jewel . EVOLUTION OF LOCAL OPTION
 Man. in evolving from monkey, never made the rapid strides that the defini- tion of local option has made in Ala bama in recent years. Persons now in public life now remember when local option" meant nothing more than agita- ton for the settlement of the liquor ques- tion by small political units such as townships. A local option law later rec ognized the county as the political unit. This went wei until the Conner legisla-
 
 political unit. The evolution was so fast many could not accept it and the state in 1911 returned to the county unit.
 In 1915 the legislature recognized the state unit again by passing a station pro- hibition law. Now all persons even rabid local optionsists, are agreed that the state prohibition laws may well be main- tained-but opponents of the liquor traf- fic seek to make the nation the unit by the adoption of the prohibition amend ment. Few persons in public life in Ala ba1na believe liquor will ever be sold across the bar again.
 PURIFOY STILL SILENT
 The announcement of Judge John Puri- foy, Secretary of State for another state office may be expected during the next few days. One report is that he will be candidate for governor. Insofar as is public known, he has been his own coun- sellor and few persons know whether he will seek to be governor or to hold a minor state position.
 Judge, what will be your platform?' he was asked this week. and he replied My record while in office" This would indicate that he will be a candidate for state position other than governor.

DRY DOCK CONSTRUCTION

The directors Of the Alabama Dry Dock and Shipbuildng company have ratified the action of President David R. Dunlap in his arrangement with the federal government for the construc- tion of 10,000-ton dry dock to cost $600,000 This will give Mobile an- other big advantage over some of it's rival gulf ports. All vessels of 5000 tons and over will have to be repaired here or else go to Newport News or some Atlantic port farther north.
 Next month the city commissioners will probably let contract for the construction of the $600,O00 Arlingt ton dock project. Many inquiries have been received from large contracting firms who are expected to bid on the work. It had been anticipated that difficulty in getting any large number of bids might cause the building of the Arlington docks to be delayed.

The capacity of the elevator will be 250.000 bushels. Grain will be car ried on rubber belt with a.. capacity of 15.000 bushels per hour.

I knew Mobile would be friendly to the Steel Cor poration's enterprise" Mir. Crawford acknowledged his appreciation of the assistance given him by the Chamber of Commerce in matters preliminary to the purchase of the site.
 This week was memorable in other ways. For instance, Mas A. c. Harper in command of the federal military depot at Mobile, said that Mobile will become the third largest port of em- barkation in the United States. His duties include inspection of men, ani- mals, materials and. in fact, every thing shipped by the federal govern ment.

MAKING STEADY PROGRESS


 pany is making steady progress with it's construction work at Chickasa- bogue. This concern in keen;ng with it's usual custom is not heralding its doings with trumpet sounding But when a contract for 40,000,000 feet of lumber is completed within 30 minutes time it indicates how little time is being lost here by the corporation. Matt Mahorner, Jr., toastmaster at the Chamber of Commerce banquet. made the statement Wednesday that such contract had been made in Mobile in that time.
 Mobile. at least in one industry, is solving it's labor shortage. Some saw mills have been handicapped by lack of labor Negroes have found em- ployment with better compensation at local shipyards. consequently the mills lost many laborers. Now negro women are being employed at these mills. While it is a little early to make pre- dictions, experiments with these ne- gresses have been satisfactory and more of them are being employed. They carry lumber, work in blaming mills, kilns and at other occupations formerly held by the men. It Is said, also. that these women. who receive s150 per day and over, are we'll satis- fled with their new lot.
 Mobile is a very different city from that of six months ago. It is getting thoroughly imhued with real busi- ness spirit. There have been many Improvements. There is an unprece- dented demand for houses-habitable houses-and everybody realizes that this demand is in it's incipiency. Mer. chants are getting cash money for ther wares and the business pulse beats with remark able energy.

 For the first time President Craw- ford made public revelation of the reasons prompting the Steel Corpora tion to establish it's mammoth ship yard here He said that the Mobile site was chosen because of it's natural advantages for shipbuilding. Its ad- vantages to provide housing quarters for workmen was one of the major considerations, he said, and Mir Craw- ford mentioned handicaps of large eastern shipbuilding plants in obtain ing workmen because of their in- ha,va orr,

Traced by Laundry Mark.

Perhaps the most striking instance
on record in England of how laundry
marks assist the police was that Of
the Yarmouth beach mystery, when
the mutilated body of woman was
discovered on the western shore of
that, previous to the war, popular sea-
side resort. Over 400 laundries were
visited by the police to discover the
ownership of the linen found on the
body. 1t was traced at last to a small
hand laundry at Woolwich, whittier it
had been, sent by a Mrs. Bennett.
Twelve hours later the dead woman
had been identified, and her husband,
Herbert John Bennett, was in custody
charged with her murder.
He had, as he thought, obliteFafed
every clew. He had persuaded the
woman to stay at Yarmouth under an
assumed name. He had also, byosuspf<
cious pretenses, got her to hide her
identity in every possible way; and
he had decoyed her to the beach, ait
dead of night and there strangled her
silently, swiftly, secretly-whilespr
tending to caress her. But he FOYER
looked the existence, of that one litEis
telltale laundry maFk--which brought
him to the scaffQld.

AScRlBED TO FALLING STAR
Mystery Crater in Plain of Arizona Is
Thus Explained by Biologists
of Prominence.

About forty miles from Flagstaff.
Ariz., in the midst of a great plain.
there is a saucer-Shaped hollow or
crater about three-quarters, of a mile
across and 600 feet deep. The rim
of the crater rises between $50 and
200 feet above the surrounding plain.
Rocky fragments are scattered about
for several miles around the crater.
Among these rocks many fragments of
meteoric iron, some containing black
diamonds, have been found. The in
ner walls show that the crust of the
earth was broken when the crater was
formed, yet no volcanic rocks exist
there.
Biologists have offered theories to
account for this phenomenon. One is
that an immense meteorite made the
hole, and that the meteoric fragments
mentioned are remnants of the falling
star. Another theory ascribes the
origin of the crater to, tremendous
explosion of steam in the rocks be-
meath, and a third combines the first
two by suggesting that the blow of a
falling meteor, striking the earth'S
crust at a point where subterranean
water had accumulated in the neigh
borhood Of heated rocks'was the cause
of the explosion.

When can we send Christmas
packages abroad? How large may
they be? Can we send food?" These
and similar questions have been
asked constantly at Red Cross head
quarters in the last few weeks by
anxious relatives of soldiers overseas.
The war department through the
American Red Cross has issued def
mite instructions covering the sending
of these packages in the following bull
letin given out by officials of the local
chapter yesterday:
Christmas Parcels for Men Abroad
1. The families of men in service
abroad have been longing for some
means of making Christmas overseas
as merry one as the conditions per-
NIT. Sensing this desire the war de-
partment has decided that each man
may receive from his family Christ
mas package of standard size and ap-
proximately standard contents.
2. An arrangement has been COM
pleted between the war department,
postofice departmnt and the Ameri-
can Red Cross, whereby the latter has
undertaken to cooperate in the prep
aration for mailing of these Christmas
parcels. To simplify the execution of
this plan large number of specially
manufactured cardboard cartoons have
