SEVEN ALABAMIANS
VOT FOR DRY BILL

Washington, July 22.- The drastic
Volstead bill providing machinery for
the enforcement of the prohibition
amendment to the constitution was pass
ed today with only 101 votes registered
against it.
Alabama furnished votes for the bill
and 2 against it. Those voting against
its passage were Representatives Dent
of the second and Blackmon of the
fourth districts.
Representative McDuffie of the first
district voted for the Igoe motion that he
bill be recommited, but when the motion
was beaten, he fell in line. He announced
during his campaign that although he
was opposed to the amendment. that in
the event of it's ratification, he would
vote for legislation to make it effective.
The legislation was adopted in the hour
Washington's greatest crime wave. This
fact lent force to the argument of rep
resentative Kahn of California, and other
against the measure, that Washington
since prohibition became effective, was
more infested with criminals of all
varieties than ever before in it's history.

People Bought Bonds
and Kept Savings, Too

Those wishing to build homes within
the near future had better begin them
within the next 60 days, owing to the
fact that because of the present status
of the lumber market, there will be "a
shortage Of that commodity within that
time, said John d. Chichester, secretary
of the Real Estate exchange. THE large
amount of building that has been going
on in Atlanta has recently received an
obstacle in the way of II shortage of
lumber. People there are offering to buy
lumber from this city at Birmingham
retail prices"

One cause for the inability of police
authorities to reach an accurate con-
clusion is the fact that many negroes,
seen to fall dead or wounded after the
fire of whites were borne away by their
fellow gangsters. Others shot through
windows, were seen to fall back into
the enclosures and were permitted to
remain there undisturbed and uncounted.
The negroes were in the ascendency on
the second night, Monday night of the
war. The warning of the night previous
on which several were beaten but none
killed, caused them to prepare AS a re-
suit, they took the town, and although
the police force. augmented by soldiers
and marines fought gamely, they had
little chance to hold the blacks in check.
Arrogantly, they rode throughout the

tally those in uniform. Police officers

Washington, July 22-Municipal owner
shl \ of street railways today received for
the first time the approval of a wit
ness appearing before the Federal cleo
trio railways commission. Samuel r.
Bertron of New York, who said his bank
ing firm had financed about so street
railway properties, including those in
Buffalo, New Orleans, Memphis and Bir-
mngham. declared his belief that trac-
ton properties owned by municipality
would be operated efficiently and not
be subject to the political and other
evils ordinarily ascribed to that form
of government
Mr. Bertron agreed with Job E. Hedges,
receiver for the New York Railways
company, and Mix Newman, represent.
ing traction interests in New Orleans,
st. Louis and other cities, who also
were heard that unless something wat
done quickly, preferably increases in
rates for temporary relief. the plight of
the street railways throughout the coun.
try would be serious. Mr.. Hedges said
that the companies might "go out" en-
tirely and cease to be a part of COM
munity life
Homer l.. Ferguson, president of the
chamber of commerce of the United
States expressed an opinion that the
financial situation of the street railwayr
was the most acute internal problem now
facing the country. The present need
he said, was an increased fare. He de-
clned to suggest a permanent solution
until committee appointed by the
chamber at it's last convention has in
vestigated the situation and reported

ELEVENTH DEBATABLE

The eleventh circuit composed of Col
bert Franklin, Lauderdale and Wins
ton, will be debatable ground at least,
between the democrats and republic
cans. Lauderdale is largely democrat
ic but the usual democratic majority
there is more than overcome by Wins
ton where nearly every voter is an
adherent of the G.. o. p. Franklin is
close with leanings to the republicans
and Colbert is about a stand off.
The fourteenth circuit-Fayette, La
mar, Marion and Walker, is also likely
to see some very close and exciting
campaigns as the two parties are
about evenly divided in the four coun-
ties. Marion is the only one of the
four that is safely democratic by any
considerable majority. Walker now
has a republican in the house of re-
representatives., while Lamar is close
and Forsythe not always reliably de-
mocratic.
Among other recommendations of
the joint recess committee, not includ-
ing the Jefferson reduction provision,
most of which have been embodied IN
bills now pending are:

poles obstruct the sidewalks. These

can be secured to do the work. The
Democrat sign is the only one left
on the South Side of East Second

However it is not lack of desire
that has caused the offense but lack
of workmen to make the changes
necessary.
