OPPOSES ADJOURNMENT

Representative Garrett of Tennessee, democrat, opposed the adjournment
 protesting it would delay passage of
 the bill. but he was voted down by the
 other 13 members present.
 Before resuming work on the agri- culture measure the House tomorrow
 will consider the bill returning more
 than s7,000,000 of unused war appro-
 prlations of the war and navy depart
 mentS to thet reaSury and cancellipg authorizations of a like amount. Rep
 resentative Sherley of Kentucky, chair
 man of the House appropriations com
 mlttee, also plans to present the confer
 ence report on the famine fund bill to-
 morrow and press it's adoption. With the disposal of these two mat ters, work will be resumed on the agri- cultural bill Discussion tonight was centered in the maintenance of the gov ernment guaranteed price for the 1919 wheat crop. No opposition to the gov ernment carrying out the guarantee was voiced but doubt was expressed as to the best means of accomplishing ernment probably would lose money in paying the guaranteed price of $2 20 a | buShel
 The administration programme for
 maintaining the price probably will be
 presented to Congress this week. Before taking up the agricultural bill | the House passed and sent to the Sen ate bill appropriating $10,500,000 for hospital facilities for treating disabled l soldiers and sailors.

Little Stories Of the
 DayFrom Washington
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, January 27.-Mrs, G. H Mathis. Alabamas agricultural expert will assist Secretary Lane of the inter for department, in converting the ma tion to the necessity of caring for dis charged soldiers. Mrs Mathis is now in Washington having been called by telegraph for consultation.
 The secretary stands for appropriation by Congress of enough money to give every soldier a farm bought from cut over lands. While the idea is regarded as entirely Utopian by many members of Congress, including Senator Bank head of Alaba ma, Mrs. Mathis agrees with the secretary that it is not only practicable but necessary.
 Mrs. Mathis will go tonight to New ork. where she will address the bankers of that city on the subject of caring for the soldiers under the legislation prepared by the secretary, Returning to Washington she will stop in Pennsyl- vania for the purpose of addressing the legislature in session there.
 It is not definitely established yet that Mrs. Mathis will be permanently retained in the campaign.

 DEPUTY SHERIFF Alleged Purse Snatcher Shot by Officer When Resist
 ing Arrest

An unknown negro was shot and la tally wounded by Deputy Sheriff Smith at g o'clock last night, dying near mid- night. The deputy sheriff had arrestet the negro on suspicion of being a purse snatcher, and it is stated that when the negro drew a knife, the officer shot him through the right temple.
 The police records show that Miss Cly- tell Ray of 2621 Twentieth avenue, north, was going home from work at about S:45 o'clock last night, when, at the corner of First avenue and Twenty third street, she was attacked by d | negro, who snatched her purse, contain ing a small amount of money, and fled. About the same time, Mrs. Florence By mum, of 2513 Sixth street, was attacked in a similar manner by a negro, who, however, did not secure her purse, be- ing frightened away by her screams.
 It was stated that the deputy sheriff heard woman scream, and a few mo- mentS later saw negro running down a side street. He gave chase and caught the negro at the mouth of an alley, where the shooting took place. The description of the negro shot does not fit with either description given by the parties at tackled.

THREE MEN KILLED
 BY ARMED MADMAN
Armed Religious Fanatic Runs Amuck Through
 Philadelphia Streets
By Associated Press


 Philadelphia, January 27.-With a loaded revolver in each hand a man. who gave his name as Omega, son nt Jesus Christ" ran amuck through the streets near the center of the city to- day, shooting in every direction as a big crowd tried to capture him.
 Before he was finally overtaken and cycle policeman, he had shot and killed three men and wounded five others, two of them seriously.
 The dead are: Thomas Holloran, an employe of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company, and John Knox and George Dingal, policemen.
 According to the police the man is a religious fanatic and had become ob- sessed with the idea that the spirit of his faher was being tortured in the power house of the trans it company, where he shot his first two victims. Rushing out of the power house before other employees realized what had happened, the crazed man fled through the streets with a crowd of civilians and policemen in pursuit. Two blocks away he came upon Policeman Dingall, who was standing in the center of the street, di- recting traffic. With wild cry he dashed at the policeman. firing as he ran. Dingall fell mortally wounded. All the time the pursuing crowd was growing in numbers and after a chase of about mile Motorcycle Policemen Knox and Heron overlook him. Find ing that he was trapped the man wheeled around and thrust the revolvers against the bodies of both po1iceme an and pulled the triggers. The one point ed at Knox went off and killed him instantly, but that directed against Heron missed fire and the officer shot the maniac in the leg, and beat him into unconsciousness. The crowd leaped upon him, but he was finally res- cued and taken to hospital.
 A notebook found in the mans cloth ing contains a list of all the power houses in Philadelphia and in his room were found quantities of religious and anarchistic literature printed in Italian and German. At his roomng house ne was known as George Lembo, but be- yond this no informa tion was obtain able. It was said he had been there only short time. He is about 30 years old.

DEMOb|L|ZATION
 OF U. 5. ARMY IN
 SIX MONTHS PLAN
Gen. March Tells Senate Committee All Troops in France Can BeReturned
 in Six Months
By Associated Press


 Washington, January T.-Return home and demobilization within six months of all the remaining 1,SOO,0o0 troops over seas is possible under plans worked by the war department and laid before the Senate military affairs committee today by General March, chief of staff.
 Should the President decide upon a force of approximately 10 divisions as an arm z of occupation, General March said, the task could be completed in less time.
 At the same time General March an- nounced that the plans of the war depart ment contemplate the demobilization within 90 days of everyone of the S75,0oo men in the home training camps except a small number for overhead duty"
 Return of the troops in France, involv- ing the transportation to this country of s0O,ooO men monthly, would be possible General March said, by the use in ad- dition to the Amercan tonnage of ships allotted by the allies and the German passenger tonnage to be placed in service soon under terms of the armistice ana later agreements
 General March indicated that the re- turn of number of the veteran divisions must not be expected soon. He told the committee General Pershing and the war department had agreed that the army of occupation should be composed or experienced divisions so they would mos duly excite the Germans" and would be Table to run over them if necessary
 The length of the period during which an army of occupation must be main {tained, war department officials have said, depends entirely on declsions reached by the associated governments at the peace conference and upon conditions in Germany.

 BRICK FREIGHT RATES

 That commodity at present under ire is brick from Birmingham. The pre-War rate from Birmingham to Selma, TOT instance was cents, the war rate 9 cents, and the proposed rate ' cents, an increase of 133 per cent. The 1iVe- cent rate was judged too heavy by Will liam Prouty of the interstate commerce commission some weeks ago. The Ala bama complainants contend that while the administration is correct in it's state ments that there will be no horizontal increase of 10 per cent, it's plans to dea' with many specific articles will nave the same effect. Morgon Richards or Selma, expresses agreement with CHI ford Thorn that instead of the govern ment controlling the railroads, the rail- roads are controlling the government.
