Glawson Not Talking
For Public, He Asserts

When a man is figuring on get
ting into politics he had better not
talk to a newspaper man. I am not
saying anything"
This was the enigmatic and sage
comment yesterday of James L. Claw
son in reply to direct question as
to whether he had made up his mind
to make the race for sheriff of Sum
ter county or not to make it.
While reports absolutely conflict
ing regarding Mr.. Glawson's inten-
tions have been going the rounds
daily Mr.. Glawson initiates the well
known clam, as far as public state
ment is concerned. He is talking con-
fidentially with his friends here and
there, and some say that he is making
quiet canvass of the situation to get
an accurate estimate on his chances
of winning should he enter the race.
One interesting report of the last
day or two was that Mr.. Glawson had
selected John Monohan, secretary of
the Elks club, to be his deputy, but
this report met with a chuckle and
declined either to confirm or deny.
'I'll let you know if I decide to
enter the race" he said.

LEON BURCEOIS
MADE CHAIRMAN.
DRUMMONDSEC'Y.
Commission Named To
Trace Sarre Basin
Boundaries

PARIS, Jan. 16.-Representa- =
tives of France, Great Britain,
Italy, Greece, Belgium, Spain, Japan,
Portugal and Brazil, members of the
council of the league of nations, met
in the "clock room" of the French
foreign office at 1000 o'clock this
morning, for the first meeting of the
League.
The council organized at 1890
o'clock, electing Leon Burgeois. of
France, chairman, and confirming
the choice of Sir Eric Drummond, of
Great Britain, general secretary.
The first official act of the council
was the appointment of a commits
sion to trace upon the spot the front
iers of the territory of the Sarre
basin.
The council received it's first for
NAL protest during the session. 1t
came from the "envoys of the elected
government of the Irish Republic"
against the unreal English simula-
ton of an international league of
peace" No mention of the protest
was made during the council meeting,
but copies were handed to newspaper

u. S. Labor Agents
Are Called Off Here

Mayor Sheppard informed the city
council last night that he had receiv-
ed word by letter and telegram from
Georgia senators and representative
in congress and from Labor Commits
sioner Stanley at Atlanta that govern
ment labor agents chad been ordered
to work no hardships on any COM
munity," and that likely none would
come here looking for recruits for the
Wilson dam project in Alabama or
other projects, as was planned and
announced at the previous meeting.
Because of the continual drain on la
Dor here for government purposes at
Souther Field since its ablishment,
and the visits of labor agents 70 re-
cruit help for work elsewhere, it was
felt that this community had already
contributed more than its share to
carrying on government work.

Americas.
You don't believe it? Well, the
records are in the clerks office at
the city hall.
This fact was brought to public
attention at the meeting of the
city council last night when Alder
man J. E. Poole, chairman of the
finance committee, ok. ing the cur
rent bills for approval by council,
noted the fact that one statement
called for the payment of $9.7O to
Marion Warren for serving 81
meals to city prisoners held in the
guard house.
81 wonder what he feeds 'em?
was Mr.. Poole's curious query as
he took second squint at the
statement.
about as many peas as you
could hold ON half your hand and
slice of corn bread" spoke up
Engineer Ansley But he feeds
those that work on the streets bet
ter Mr.. Ansley explained. "These
men need considerably more be-
cause they have manual labor to
perform, and he is paid 25 cents
per meal for feeding them.
Warren is a negro and the meals
he furnishes at these prices are
to negro prisoners, it was said.
Warren lives on Heads alley and
had been feeding the city prison
ers for many years-at the same
price for a long time. The rising
cost of provisions has not caused
him to raise his price, it is said,
but has caused him to reduce the
portions considerably. But he
proves that it can be done-that
there is a way to beat the high cost
of living, and that is, eat less.

Col. Lanes Baying
and Poole's Agility
Deadly to Possum

Alderman J. E. Poole says he
doesn't know whether it was City
Attorney Tom Lanes ferocious
possum-hound voice that scared Mr..
Postum into stopping dead still, or
whether it was his own agility in
leaping fence and heading Mr..
Possum off, causing the animal to
realize it was useless to go any
farther. But, whichever it was Mr..

Messrs. Lane and Poole were on
their way home from council meet
ing about o'clock last night rid
in Alderman Mashburn's car. They
had just let Mayor Sheppard out
at his College street home and
were proceeding eastward on Col
lege, just ready to cross Lee street,
when they spied the possum start
ing diagonally across Lee street
from DR.. Prather's corner to the
Mayo home, under the glare of the
street light. With a whoop Mr..
Lane, who is a renowned possum
trailer, caught the scent and leap
ed out on one side and Mr.. Poole
on the other as the car came to a
sudden stop. The possum hesitat-
ed, then started to run. Both Off
cials were after him Sin high" The
possum leaped upon the coping
about the Prather front yard,
where, possibly frightened by the
baying of Col. Lane to Mr.. Poole
to "stop him" as the latter vault
ed the coping and leaped into the
yard, the possum halted dead still.
AS they approached him he climbed
a short pole.
Mr.. Poole wanted Mr. Lane to
grab the possum. Mr.. Lane sug-
gested that Mr.. Poole do it, so the
latter picked up a brick and at

STRIKERS ASK
 LIVING WAGE Place Formal Demands Before Labor
 Board.

Washington, April 2O-Formal written demands that the railroad labor board give assurances of the award of living wage'' to railroad men and that the employees now on strike would be returned to work without loss of seniority or prejudice were filed with the board today by Edward McHugh, representing the strikers in the Metropolitan district of New York, and James Eubanks of the St. Louis Yardmen's ASSocia- ton.
 Spokesmen for the railroad broth erhoods objected to the filing of the demands but chairman Barton said any body of men had the right to file complaints with the board, but it was for the board to decide whether they were such as the board was au- thorized to hear.
 The St. Louis Yardmen's Associa- ton asked a separate recognition be- fore the board as distinct organiza- tion claiming that it's members were not properly represented by their re- cognized unions.
 MT F1ulbanlzs said that if the board would assure him that the mems de mands would be acted upon speedily he would put a message on the wire which would send the men in the St Louis district back to work in three hours. MT. NfcHugh reiterated that the men of the New York district would not return to work until word was received from him that the board would act on their complaints.
 The board permitted the filing oi the complaints after it had held a short session.

QUIET PREVAILS

 The prevalence of peaceful condi- tions was brought about an arrange ment between the authorities and Roman Catholic priests by which the police were removed from the neigh porhood of the recent rioting. two priests taking the places of the off cers and remaining on patrol all night, the clergy using their inffu- ence with the people and urging them to go nome and to bed. The plan worked admirably, the priests having the streets virtually to them. selves all night long,
