 MT. Edward A. Hurley, chairman of the shipping board,' said Mrs. Parsons,
 has requested every club in every city of the United States to appoint live merchant marine committee, saying: It would be of little use to build the ships if we could not line up every American behind them.' Will the women of Bir- mingham who have worked so Loyalty for every patriotic cause help us to or ganiZe here for the National Marine league of the United States? l sincerely hope so, for it is quite necessary that it should be started by those who, in their various localities, are looked upon by their fellow citizens as hard-headed, clear sighted and thoroughly sane men and women of business who have sue ceeded in the various enterprises they have undertaken. This is necessary to assure the average citizen that the work of the league is not mere vision ary anticipation of something like the millennium, which would be very delight full if it ever came to pass, but really great and wise plan, on a broad national basis, that is eminently practical of the greatest possible economic value to the country at large and something that is certain of permanent success once 1t IS universally adopted and carried on by the population. Therefore, since the work of the league based upon the economic ne- cessity of Americans disposing of their products about as quickly as they can

Washington, February 3-Speciai) While the legislative, judicial and ex- ecutive appropriation bill was about to pass the Senate, Senator LaFolette clashed with Senator Underwood, who was in charge of the bill.
 It all came about when Senator Under wood. having agreed to an increase Of s2O per month in the pay of all govern nent employees, made the point of order against sn attempt to grant an increase of s30 ger month.
 Senator LaFollette then charged that senators, who had permitted an increase in their own salaries, in 1905, from $5OOc to S75oo, had always opposed increasing the pay of thise who draw very little from the public till.
 Senator Underwood stated that while member of the House, in 1905, he had voted against the increase in the pay of members of Congress. MT. LeFollette fntinated that there had been no record vote in the House. Senator HardWlck, who, at that time, was a member of the House declared that there was record vote. Senator Sheppard, flushed with re- cent prohibition victories, stated that In 1905 he was member Of the House and that there was no record vote-
 It was then necessary for senator Underwood to refer to the official rec ord. He found that a formal vote hao

SENATORS TO DINE WITH
 PRESIDENT WILSON

Washington, February 23-(SpeciaL) This week will be big week as far as big news is concerned
 The President will land in Boston. and despite the efforts of Senator Sherman and others who have tried for months to hamstring him, will discuss the constitution of the league of na- tions before the people.
 He will come to Washington immedi- ately thereafter, and will entertain the members of the foreign relations com mittees of the House and Senate. With them he will discuss the constitution of the league of nations and will en- deavor to persuade them to his way of thinking. All members of the two com mittees with exception of Senator Borah, who has declined to dine with the President, and Senator Fall, who will be out of Washington, will sit with the President.
 On the 27th of the month, Washing ton will celebrate the home coming of its heroes who aided in crushing the Hun. The arrangements for the parade place 5000 soldiers in line, and 1000 civilians and civilian employees of the government From the peace monument to the White House, the President, afoot twill lead the parade.
 It is judged probable that the Presi dent, during the week, or at the begin ming of next week, will address a joint session of the Houses of Congress on the league of nations. He intends to return to Paris as early after March as possible. March 5 may be the date of his return. He has given up the idea If touring the states in an effort to arouse public sentiment in favor ot his great international undertaking.

CONGRESS CANNOT
 DEFINE INTOXICANTS

Washington, February 2.-(SpeciaL) Hannis Taylor, great constitutional law yer, former minister to Spain, and na- tive Alabamian, says that Congress can not legally enact bill defining intoxi- eating liquor.
 Were Congress to take such action, according to Taylor. it would invade the functions of the judiciary. According to this authority, every jury, trying case, must decide whether man before the bar produced liquor of an intoxicat ting nature, or sold liquor, of an intoxicat- ing nature. It is his belief that juries reflecting the sentiments of the people, will, in the long run, nullify the prohi- bition amendment.
 On the other hand, Morris Sheppard declares that he will introduce a bill. and Congress will enact bill declaring any beverage containing any percentage of alcohol intoxicating. hTe Texas sem ator admits the ability of the constitu- tional lawyer, but declares that the su- preme court will sustain the constitutions. ality of such bill
 l. is believed, generally. that the courts will sustain any anti-liquor bill enacted by Congress. Nevertheless, there are many who hold with Taylor that it will be the function of the judiciary rather than of Congress to define that liquor which is intoxicating.

is of the people, she said, and believed all men constituted as equals. This was
 astounding to the senators. but they did not dismiss her. They put her
 through a cross-examination. She de. nied that in a speech in Washington she
 had advocated the substitution of the soviet form of government for that which exists in this country. She did state that she thought the bolshevik all right,
 but that she had never advocated social revolution in America. She was intel ligent and got away with it. She was
 beautiful. That might have had some- thing to do with her success. At any
 rate, she floored the senators. They even asked her about the effort of the Trotskies to make women national prop erty. She declared that effort was made by the "advanced revolutionists," and that all of them had been shot.
 Bloodshed did not disturb her. She talked of death and murder and other
 things. But the senators stood for it all.
 Her hair was bobbed-a sort of red hair. Her cheeks were of the most alluring hue. Her eyes were luminous blue. Her coat was what they call 'sport coat" Her fingers were long and taper ing and bore only one decoration, blackstone, big, startling, significant. Her husband. MT. Reed. was present. But after examining the wife, the com
 mittee thought that it had heard enough from one family. and called another wit. ness

She was called to testify before the Senate committee investigat- ing German propaganda in the United States.
 When she appeared, a vision of delight. before the senators, the senators moved upeasily in their seats just as jurors do when attempting to fix a murder charge on a beautiful defendant. They were delighted with the difficult job confronting them.
 Senator Overman asked the woman ii she believed in the sanctity of an oath and the existence of. God. She spoke we'll of the oath, but declared that she could never become reconciled to the idea that there is supreme being. She

Atlanta, February 23-Mrs. Stella Ao- bolt was convicted by a jury here today of voluntary nanslaughter for the killing of her husband, city fireman. The yer dict carries a sentence of from one to ~ years. Sentence will be passed tomorrow. Court officials said it was one of the few cases where woman had been con victed in Georgia for killing her bus band.

 Five days after the killing, Mrs. Lois Gilbert, 26 wife of an automobile re- pair man. went out and killed herself on Abbott's grave. Her name had not been publicly mentioned up to that time in connection with the case. but 1t devel- oped later detectives had found her pie ture in Abbott's locker at fire headquar- ters.

The Age-Herald has reported that Acting Judge Advocate General Ansell ran coun- ter to Secretary Baker, General Persh- ing, General Crowder and other digni- ta aries in declaring to Congress that court martials had inflicted inhuman treatment on soldiers brought before the bar, and that his efforts to remedy the situation had been frustrated by those 'higher up."
 At that time General Ansell was using one of the many, many automobiles which the government is devoting to ''official business Following his testimony he was notified that his automobile must be restored at once to the motor trans port corps
