By HIGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, July B.-(Special)-A rooster born in Pennsylvania in 1855 will be sold at auction in Demopolis August 14 He has been donated by Representa- tive Thomas s. Butler of Pennsylvania, chairman of the naval affairs committee of the House.
 The letter explaining his transportation from Pennsylvania to Alabama fololws: West Chester, Pa, July 25, 1919. . Hon William B. Oliver, House of Rep resentatives, Washington, D. C.
 My Dear Sir: At the request of the : chairman of the naval affairs commit tee of the House of Representative there is now in transit an old rooster whose name is Thomas S. Butler" He is of Fighting Quaker stock and his ances- try dates back to William Penn. He was born in Uwchland township, Ches- ter county, on November 4, 1855, and you can therefore well understand that he is a rooster of well-matured age. 'I sincerely trust that he may be as useful to the citizenship of Alabama in getting funds for the building of the Dixie highway as he has been to the cit izenship of Chester county.
 Trusting that he may reach you in prime condition, I am, very cordially yours, T. E. ELKE."

NOVEL FEATURE FOUND
 IN PROHIBITION LAW

Washington, July @.-(Special)- 1.-The bill making the prohibition amendment to the constitution effective, which has passed the House and bends before the . Senate, has section which will ipso facto make an officer of the law of any negro who might be in charge of a taxicab, or a hack or Pullman car.
 This negro may make arrests without warrant of law He will turn his prison oners over to the courts for punishment.
 The negro becomes an officer of the law and puts his authority into effect when ever he sees man or woman take a drink, whenever in his judgment a man or woman is intoxicated. Represen- tative Blackmon. in explaining today his vote against the bill, pointed out that section as one among others which sug- gested his opposition.
 There are several members of Congress who, having voted, express belief that they would have gone far enough had they supported the Igoe substitute. That substitute would have put the amendment in the constitution, on it's own authority

 Washington, July 2S.-(Speeial1 The mob spirit for the time is quelled in Washington. In order that it might not be again aroused. authorities are asking the people ito refrain from talking about it."
 There is a peculiar fact relating to the situation which perhaps has no precedent In more than one respect, the negro got the better of the bat ting
 If the list of wounded is eliminated, the blacks had decidly the advantage in casualties admitted by authorities Two-thirds of the dead were white men. The last fatal offensive action was that of the armed negro who Tuesday shot down two unarmed white officers killing one of them and se- riously wounding the other. Wednes- day night the negroes made the only attack. Riding in an automobile. a black party fired upon an automobile driven by Lieutenant Higgins of the police force. A report was made to headquarters. but no arrests followed That the negroes of the brutal va riety were not deterred either by the police or by the rioting was demonstrat- ed Monday night when the fighting was at it's greatest point of intensity, by an attempt at rape was perpetrated al Capitol Heights suburb. The cul. prit has not been taken.
 Congress is being urged by local au. thorities to enact legislation under which the procurement of arms vii be rendered more difficult, and to per init the payment of incitased salaries tc police officers. Such legislation will probably be enacted. At the same tune. Congress is being importuned te enact legislation tending to keep the races separated. There is apparent, little hope that such legislation though it is intended to strike at the very root of the evil, will ever overcome re- publican opposition.

BAKER AND DANIELS

BRYAN AS FACTOR
 IN NEXT CONVENTION

Washington, July 2S.-(Special ) The reports from the west that the friends of William Jennings Bryan, prohibition having been made nation wide, will insist on his nomination for the presidency, and that MT. Bryan is not endeavoring to check the tidal wave in his favor, has caused consider able interest in Washington
 Leaders of the democratic party do not anticipate that Bryan has power to muster enough strength to cause a serious ripple in the next convention But they are not unmindful apparently of the ability of Bryan so to conduct himself as to make the nomination of some men impossible, and the nomina- tion of others, possible.
 In discussion with one of the na- tional leaders of the party the Age Herald representative was inform ed this morning that practical politicians | who believe in winning consider w G. McAdoo more seriously than any
 other man. Of course the exception l is the President. It is everywhere ad-
 mitted that MT. Wilson can get tho
 nomination. It is generally said that il | the republicans reject the peace treaty
 the President must accept the nomina { tion whether he wants it or not Bu 1 when the President is eliminated. MT i McAdoo. according to the leader re | ferred to. generally has the advantag,
 over other probable nominees in pre- | convention gossip.
 MT. McAdoo is favored, according t this authority, because he has display | ed great ability in priv. d officia l life, because he has the approval O the business world, and has organized
 labor, the wages of which he raise whenever an opportunity afford. unde lasting obligations to him. And vel
 it will very probably happen, accord
 ing to the gentleman referred to, tha
 MT. Bryan will oppose MT. McAdoo
 The latter is said to be too practica
 to please the Nebra skan. And further
 more, MT. McAdoo has not followed tn
 Bryan-Hobson standard in the prohi bition matter.
