BAN PLACED ON
 KAISER'S PICTURE
German School Authorities Regard It As Propaganda Against New
 Conditions in Ountry.

Berlin, March 3l, (Iclayed) All the Prussian district and provincial government school author have been notified by Herr Iaenisch, min ister of religion and education, that pictures of former Emperor William and the former crown prince no long CT may be hung in the school rooms.
 The order originates from an in cident in an East Prussian school
 where the teacher pur oX-Emperor
 Williams picture in an attic after the
 revolution, but was ordered by the
 authorities to hang t up agait
 whcreupon he entered a protest. The minister, in reply, sa1t, it was not
 permitted to restore the pictures. In his order. Herr Haenisch said that the government did not intend to be jconocl1slic, but must insist that the schools shall not be used direct ly or indirectly for propaganda. l against new state regulations. Such propa ganda, he added, is contained in the display of pictures and busts of the former emperor and his oldest son. He says that the new govern ment from the beginning repudiated the practice of persecHting officials l and teachers for their political beliefs, and declared that he would proceed l against every case of political haraSs- ment coming ot his attention.
 The socialist VorWaerts greets the order warmly and suggests that it be extended so that ali Iikenesses Of the former emperor bn removed, eS- peciaIly where no technical difficulties are involved. The paper says it is a good sign that teachers now have
 Inc right of direct complaint to the
 minister. and declares that countless teachers will again breathe more free
 ly.
 The school directors of Berlin arc
 up in arms against Minister Haen
 iSch over the incident.

Is the appointment of Henry =. Mer-
rift of Tuskegee as a member of the
court of appeals of Alabama in viola
sion Of the state constitution? This
question was asked by a number of
Birmingham lawyers yesterday, and
while they were not all agreed in the
matter, majority of those expressing
an opinion held that it was, and that
if it were tested in the courts the APP
pointment would not stick.
Section SO of the constitution of Ala
bama, adopted in 1901, reads:
mo senator or representative shall,
during the term for which he shall have
been elected, be appointed to any office
of profit under this state, which shall
have been created, or the emoluments
of which shall have been increased dur
ing such term, except such office as
may be filled by election by the people.
The constitution in effect prior to 1901
contained the same provision except the
word ''civil'' was used in connection
with office.
The late Joseph II. Montgomery was
a member of the legislature that created
the police court of Birmingham, the act
thereof should be elected by the egis-
lature Christian +. Ensley Instituted
custer proceedings against Montgomery
in the Jefferson circuit court and on APP
peal the supreme court held that the
police Judge was an officer under the
state and within the provisions of this
section Of the constitution. Judge Mont
