 Initiation of the 100 novices occupied about five hours. The day->Was brought to a close with a grand bali at the Dallas club.

Emmett ONeal of Birming- nam, who delivered the annual address at the second days session of the State Bar association, in convention here, made masterly exposition of the sui frage question, his subject being, '"The Anthony Amendment" in which he re- moved all uncertainty as to his position by vigorously condemning the proposed
 
 declared to be an able exposition of the suffrage issue from constitutional standpoint.
 He declared the passage of the Anthony amendment would place the states in the same constitutional position regard- Ing the qualification of "sex'' as the pas- sage of the Fifteenth amendment had placed them regarding the qualificat tion Of color" He said the right to vote | comes cf a tau h1rt deal with the prohibition of the vote comes from the United States The right to vote, he argued, was not conferred on anyone by the adoption of the Fifteenth amendment; that amendment only re- moved the discriminatory word white" from all state constitutions. Similarly he said, the Nineteenth amendment would only remove the word male" from all state constitutions. The qualifications of suffrage would remain unaltered and un- l alterable, in all the states after the passage of the Anthony amendment | The speaker protested eloquently against the tendency to surrender to Congress the powers that were reserved to the states. He contended the whole issue should have been delegated to the states for final determination.

Parrsboro, N. &, July 5.-Badiy damaged while making a forced lanI- ing early this morning, the Handley- Page biplane which started from Hal bor Grace, N F., for Mineola, N. r., yesterday under command of Vice Ad- miral Mark Kerr, stood on her nose at the edge of the Parrsboro race track tonight, incapable of resuming her flight. The huge bomber cruised back and forth over the town from a. m. until daybreak before coming down for the purpose of making necessary repairs to her engine. Her pilot tried to effect a landing on the race track, but the machine overran the track, struck a wire fence, puncturing tire, and crashed into a tree. The impact with the tree stood the machine on end, wrenching off a wheel, wrecking the pilot house and slightly damaging her right wing.
 Admiral Kerr and his crew of three were shaken up. but none was serious ly injured.

MORE POWER NEEDED

Other arrests are expected before the grand jury convenes on Monday. All persons who lent their aid in the way of guns. ammunition and advice in favor of the lynching, are yet to be taken into custody. There are other sensational details to be worked out by the officers.

They got several miles in automobiles, two of which broke down, and the trip was postponed.
 In the automobile leading was a rope 1t then being the intention of the mob to hang Foukal. In the dark ness of the night the men stopped their

cars and took a vote to ascertain whether Foukal would be hanged or shot The latter method obtained the majority of the 21 votes. It was agreed .hat the latter method was more hu- mane; that the job would be com pleted quicker, thus eliminating some of the danger of being arrested
 On the second trip no rope was car lied. Only 12 of the original 21 be- ,ame members of the second party. They carried out their agreement and iired several bullets into the body of fcoukal as he lay on his bunk in the jail. In a confession on Friday, Louis shot, after Sim Andrews, former deputy sheriff of Baldwin county, had taken the keys from Sheriff Richerson, who since has resigned.

McNeel, chair man of the Alabama ratification com mittee, told of the importance of the legislature enacting the suffrage amendment Just as soon as possible after the reconvening of the law makers. Local suffragists following the recepit of the telegram, said they had scored another big victory by ob- taining the indorsement of such a high government official.
 MT. Daniels believes that Alabama should follow the example set by Texas. one of the southern states to first enact the measure which will assist the women of the country in getting the ballot. He thinks that Ala bama should lead-not follow-this part of the country in the most inn portant legislation in the country's s history.
