H|GHWAYMEN ROB THEN SHOOT VICTIM Two Hold-ups Reported to Police Last Might But
 no Arrests Made

w. X. Vaughn, a white man residing at 1909 Tuscaloosa avenue was held up and shot in the leg by two unknown ne groes at an alley between Tenth and Eleventh avenues and Nineteenth street, about o'clock last night. The man stated to the officers that he was walk ing along the street when the negroes stepped from the alley and ordered him to throw up his mands. This he did, and after they had taken what money he had they ordered him to run and at the same time fired a pistol, the bullet taking ef feet in the lower part of his leg. He sus- tained only flesh wound. He gave a good description of the negroes, but as yet they have not been apprehended. He was carried to a drug store on the cor ner of Nineteenth street immediately after the shooting, where he received medical aid and was later removed to his home.
 Only few minutes after the shooting and hold-up of the young man, Mrs Josephine Odo, who runs fruit stand at the corner of Fifth avenue and Twen- ty-fourth street, was held up by an un- known negro man near the fruit stand and robbed of $S.5o. The man escaped.

 OFFICES IN STATE

 mittee

Montgomery, January 16.-(Special) Offices of county solicitors in the 67 Alabama counties will be abolished if a bill introduced Thursday in the house by Graham of Clarke, is finally adopt ed by the two houses. The bill came up for its first reading shortly after the roll was called in the house. The house was called to order at 10:10 o'clock, and J. W. Partridge, representative from Franklin county, and pastor of the Baptist church, led in prayer.

where he declares that he was treated kindly.
 ''One day a German officer came in and informed me casually that had been sentenced to face the firing squad next morning for spying (they regard propa- ganda work as such)," said the lieuten- ant "They put me on a Red Cross train, rode me a few hours and then showed me into an ambulance. All the while I had been wearing German uniform they had given me, as my clothes were rags after the fall. To make a long story short, I escaped from the ambulance, hid out until night and by travelling three nights under cover of darkness, managed to reach the front lines. During these three days I ate only twice After reach ing the German trenches 1t took me a and cross No Mans Land, but I was nightly relieved when I joined the French at Chateau Saliens."
 Lieutenant Watson brought back to the French command several maps and pa pers, of what value he didn't know, but he was cited in the orders for his bravery He was sent back to this country on a hospital ship and arrived at New York on January 8. He is little over q years of age
 Modest to an extreme degree, unusually conservative in his statements, it was with exceeding difficulty that the gallant aviator was finally persuaded to tell his story. Only after persistent requests of Mrs. Mortimer Jordan, whose dinner guest he was last night, would Lieuten- ant Watson unfold the thrilling tale of his adventures And he has the papers to back his statements.
 Lieutenant Watson will leave this morn- ing for Garden City, Long Island, where he will rejoin his aero squadron.

"For the benefit of the sufferers who have or may have severe cough as myself have had nearly all my life. I give this testimonial" said MT. J. E.. DuBose, who lives at 2o9 Sixthy-siXth street, north, Birmingham. Ala, (East Lake), in his statement.
 For nearly the whole period of my life l have suffered with a severe cough and have tried many things but failed to get relief.

SALARY BILL PASSED

Montgomery, January 16.-(SpeciaL) ) The governors increaSel salary bill passed the house and senate upon it's third reading Thursday at noon. Short ly after the bill came up there de- velvoped stronger opposition than spon- sors had anticipated, but this was quickly overcome, after Ellis of Elmore county had made a speech against the increasing of salaries of officials. The vote in the senate was 26 to 4. In the house the vote was GA to 30.
 Green of Dallas county, speaking for the bill said $5000, which was paid former governors, was more than the proposed $7500. Carnley of Coffee said that the legislature would do an in justice to the incoming governor by failing to increase the salary. It was pointed out that Governor Henderson has drawn $7500 during his four years. Carnley did not believe the bill would be a violation of the spirit of the constitution.
 The chief spokesman against the bill was Ellis of Elmore. He, elected upon retrenchment programme, entered a strenuous objection on the g1 ound tha, the legislature could not anticipate that there would be prosperous condi- tons in the future He believed that the gates would be lowered for other increased salary bills. T would be in- grate to my people if I failed to object in most strenuous way to all bills that increase salaries he said.
 Benners of Jefferson pleaded for the adoption of the bill. He said the salary should have never been decreased; that it was done during a time there was factional difficulties in the two houses He wants this strife done away with.
 FIRST BILL PASSED
 The salary increase bill was the first to be passed in the senate at the 1913 session. Because they feared this bill, if acted on favorably, would lead to the introduction of others Senators Baker of Pike and Morris of Dale opposed it The debates were short, however. Sena- tors Ellis of Dallas, Espy of Henry and Huddleston of Elmore spoke in favor of the senate bill
 Governor Henderson is said to have changed his mind about letting the bill dieN on his desk. Several weeks ago, when the bill was being discussed. the governor. who will go out of office next Monday, issued a statement in which he said he would be violating the spirit of the constitution by signing \bill to increase the salary of Governor sKilby. If the bill is permitted to die on the desk, Governor Kilby will work flor $2500 less than the present gov Pernor.

Under Sentence of Death Lieut.. Watson Makes Daring
 Escape From German Lines
Young Tennessean Visiting in City Has Thrilling Expe- rience in Hun Land-Crosses "No Mans Land' to Safety in French Dugout-Cited in
 Orders for Bravery

To be shot down by enemy aircraft guns while flying several thousand feet in the air, to fall 25 miles behind German lines with a nasty bullet wound in the head, to spend 10 days in a German hos pital, and then be given a death sen- tence for dropping propaganda.- to escape from an ambulance while 150 miles inside Germany, and to travel on foot and on freight trains three days and three nights dressed in a German private's uniform, finally to get through the German lines, wiggle across No Mans Land, and reach the French dugouts in safety, is no tame experience even in these days, when the heroism and fearlessnss of Amrican troops is heard on every side but that's what happened to Lieut.. D. D. Watson, Tennessee boy. who is visiting in Bir- mingham today.
 Lieutenant Watson, whose home is in Dickson, Tenn, went overseas with an artillery regiment last April and was as- lery range used by Napoleon. Shortly after arriving in France he was given three weeks active service with the French artillery. and later was trans ferred to the Eighth aero squadron as an aerial observer
 Last October he and his pilot Lieut. J. Robinson of Boston, made a flight over the German lines for the purpose of dropping propaganda. and while about 25 miles north of Metz their plane was wrecked by the fire of Hun anti-aircraft guns, and they crashed to earth, Watson sustaining painful injuries. He was sent to German hospital at Saarbruken,

COURT NEEDED

Then there should be established a court that could deside whether there had been a violation of the compact that had been entered into by all the nations That would not bind us if we went into it. to accept anything ex- ceptl that which was brought back, and which we approved of
 First, then, a council which would declare what the rules of the game were. and we do not know what the rules are now second. the court that could enforce those rules; that is not unreasonable: that is not visionary; that is not a dream.
 And how are they to be enforced? They are to be enforced, first, by the pressure of the nations of the world and don't belittle that. In these days of newspapers and telegraphs. of mer- sand organiza tions-and there are S6f.- coo different organizations in the United States today-in these days of organizations. when opinion can be quickly crystalized, opinion is not to be flouted as a matter of coercion
 Then as a body the inquiry could be made and the facts ascertained upon which that opinion could act then if ar bitration was brought about the parties to that arbitration would be bound to submit, in the first instance, all of their questions to arbitration which did not in volye national independence, did not in volve their integrity. They would be bound to submit those questions to the public of the world, and before that public they would be judged.

MUST CHAMPION IDEA

In stating that the integrity of the Monroe doctrine was in no way jeopard- ized by the league of nations plan, MT. Lane said:
 "I do not know what may come out or Paris, I have no knowledge of the prop ositions that are made in Paris. But I do know that we are bound to cham pion the idea of a league of nations, Of an association the President put 1t, "a general association of nations must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guar antees of political independence and ter ritorial integrity to great and small na- tions alike.
 'I have heard it said that under any such league or any such council of na- tions, any such effort at international CO., operation. the Monroe doctrine would be scattered to the winds l want to ask you to read that line of the Presi- dents. and see if it is not the very in carnation of the Monroe doctrine itself.
 Touching on the utility of "co-opera- tion" in solving world problems, MT. Lane pointed to associations, cities. states and the nation itself "as cooperative effort

let me picture what might happen to it. We could put circle around that coun- try, cut off every postal combination so that no letters could go in or out, cut off every bill of exchange, cut off every export, if you please; cut off every ship, cut the railroad lines at the border, cut off all diplomatic communica tion isolate that nation, and there is not a nation that ever has made war that know of that could stand such a circle of iron brought around it by the com bined effort of the nations of the world; |; and if that nation in violation of it's pact does not attack one of the nations within this league or this council, this association, then we must adopt the motto of the three musketeers, One for all and all for one.'
 But there is not one case in a mil lion in which that resort would be forced upon us. We have had 200 arbitration cases since the year 1915 and not one of them has brought about war. This thing is not a dream, gentlemen; it is thing that is possible. but it is thing that is possible if we do not shut our eyes to it saying the thing cannot be done Why, that is not our spirit. The great body of men in our army who do distinguished service and who get little credit, the engineers, have adopted as their motto these words: It can't be done. Here it is And you gentle men, if you doubt that that motto Is adopted by the representatives of the United States, may find the thing you say can't be done laid upon your table. I hope that that may be the result We must feel our way through this thing. We can't develop it at once Nothing that has been successful that I know Of has been matured in single mind
