Washington, May 11.-With a legis-
lative record that will be assailed in
the campaign as non-productive of
important accomplishments, Republi-
can leaders in Congress are planning
TO throw that body into a long re-
cess in about one month
Present plans of the G. o. p. lead
ers call for a recess of congress the
first week in June, and unless public
sentiment brings an earlier reconven-
ing it is the hope Of the republican
legislators to extend the recess until
approximately near the middle of
September. 1t is understood that
actual adjournment is not contemplat-
ed because of the fear that the pres
ldent might call congress back into
extra session to take up some OF
the reconstruction legislation which
has been sidetracked during the
present session. With congress in re-
cess, IL is argued, it will be impos'
sble for the president to call the
members back.
Nevertheless, there is also the fear
that even in using the expendient
of a recess the members may run
some risk because the president might
issue q statement directing attention
TO the derelictions of the legislative
branch of the government and its fail
ures TO take up the many reconstruc.
ton problems he urged several months
ago. However. so great is the anxiety
Of the republican leaders to get into
their campaigns and to avoid the
heat of Washington during the sum-
mer months that they are preparing
TO run the risk of popular displeas.
| ure.
That more legislation has not been
accomplished is due primarily TO two
things. according to democratic crit
| les OF the record. FIRST, the senate
wasted many months in debate on
the peace treaty and millions Of words
were printed in the record OF the
partisan fight on the past with Ger.
many. After all this talk, the senate
| finally rejected the treaty and devoted
q few days to such matters as ap-
preparation bills and army reorga-
nization. This period OF comparative
regular activity is to be followed
now by another extended debate on
the so-called peace resolution. which
bears the name of Senator Knox, put
forward by the majority members
of the foreign relations committee as
/ q ci,hstituta for paara hy ratification
of the treaty.
Second, in the house time has
largely been consumed by fruitless in
vestigations of the successful con-
duct of the war and by internecine
strife among the republicans them
selves. The republican organization in
the house has not worked in harmony

NEW UPTURNS CAUSED BY BULLISH ESTIMATES OF WINTER w H B A T
Both Corn and Oats Strengthen, While Provisions Varied, Five Cents Off to Fifty Cents
 Advance
By Associated Press

Chicago, April 1.-Bullish estimates regarding winter wheat did good deal today to bring about sharp new upturns in the price of corn. The mar ket was strong. 2A@2Ac net higher, with May $161ss @1.61A and July $f.54B @1.54A. Oats gained .A Q2hc In provisions, the outcome varied from Sc decline to soc advance.
 Fresh strength in the corn market developed simultaneously with an- nouncement that leading expert had figured the winter wheat crop condi- ton as the lowest at this date in more than ten years, barring single ex- ception. Besides, his report suggested that the consequent abandonment of winter wheat fields in 1920 would reach the immense total of 5,000,000 acres. Heavy buying on the part of houses with eastern connections took place and soaring prices continued apparent ly unchecked, July and September de- liveries touching the highest point yet this season. Likelihood that Congress would declare the war with Germany at an end persisted as a factor on the bull side.
 Oats followed corn upward. May and July oats reached new high level for the season.
 Provisions averaged higher, mainly owing to the stock yard strike, the set clement of which did not become known until after the provision market closed.

SEARCH WARRANTS
 CANNOT BE SERVED. BY AUSTIN, RULING.
Only Sheriffs, Deputies or Police Can Search Prem ises, Attorney General

 Montgomery Bureau The Age Herald 22l-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, April 1.-(special0-C. w. Austin. chief of the state law enforce ment department. and his deputies have no authority to serve search warrants in Alabama. according to an opinion given to Governor Kilby Thursday by J. e. Smith, attorney general, who ruled that the power of entering premises with search warrants and searching for con traband goods or other illicit traffic was confined solely to sherffs. their deputies and police. under Alabama laws.
 Under this ruling the state law en- forcement department, created in 1919 for the purpose of making investigations and arrests in all counties and in assist ing regular peace officers in the enforce ment of the laws, will have no power to enter upon premises in search of liquor or other goods prohibited by law, because they will be unable to procure search warrants
 The opinion came as a great surprise. It had been thought officers of the law enforcement department had all author ity conferred by law upon sheriffs, dep- uty sheriffs and policemen
 Governor I<ilby called for the opinion orally and the attorney generals state rnent to him was dated March 31. It is not thought this will prevent the raid ing of illicit distilleries, a work which has received the greatest attention of the department since it was created. It will also be possible for the department to accompany regularly commissioned off, ficers on searching trips when such of ficers have obtained search warrants.

HEAVY RAINF ALL STOPSSTREET CARS [ Outgoing Cars to Suburban Sections of the City
 Water-B0und

Owing to the heavy rainfall of yes terday and last night practically every suburban line of the Birmingham Rail- way Light and Power Company was water-bound and in many instances the service was entirely suspended during the late hours last night,
 The Owenton-Ensley and the Tide water cars were unable to run beyond Tuxedo Junction, as that section of the city was flooded, the street lines in places being several feet under water.
 The Tidewater cars were water bound at Avondale and East Lake and the Boyies cars were unable to run, owing to overflow a short distance from the city proper. A derailed car on the Highlands route also delayed traffic and scarcely line in the en- tire B. R. L. x P. Co.'S system was not affected by the h -avy rains.
 Officials of thes pmpany stated last night that the best service possible under the existing conditions would be given, but that a delayed service was inevitable on many of the lines.

 We hope to arrive at a definite con- ciusion tomorrow" said pr. N. A. Bar Iett when the commissioners left the cffice, but nothing was settled during The discussion."
 Under the law 1t is necessary to ad- vertise an election like that of the proposed five-mill tax for thirty days lefore the vote is taken. It is the ex- pressed desire of the board to have the five-mill tax problem settled before the commissioners handle the license schedule in May,
 Imperative public improvements face the city. To finance the work the commissioners have two sources to look to, the five-mill tax or the reg ular lisenses.
 Members of the commission express the hope that the necessary decisions concerning inc apportionment of the f1ve-mill tax may be made today, so the date for the election may be set.

NAME MRS. OWEN ID SUCCEED HUSBAND

By FRED IT. GORMLEY
 Montgomery Bureau The Ase- Herald

22l-2 First National Bank Building
 Montgomery, April 1.-(Special. Mrs. Marie Bankhead Owen, widow of pr. Thomas M Owen, will succeed her hus- band as director of the state depart ment of archives and history, effective at once. She was elected for Dr. Owen 3 unexpired term by the unanimous vote of the board of trustees at a special session with Governor Kilby Thursday.
 Mrs. owen will serve until 1925, Dr, owen having been elected for six-year term last year. In addition to becoming director of the department, Mrs. Owen will be ex-oficio compensation commits s;oner of Alabama under the workmen $ compensation law enacted in 1919. Gov ernor Kilby has announced that sufficient assistants will be provided for this work, in order that Mrs. Owen may be permit ted to give her undivided attention to the department of archives and history.
 It is improbable that the organization perfected by Dr. Owen will be disturbed in Mrs Owen's administration. It took the board of trustees only few minutes to decide that she was the proper per- son, and no other name was considered. Mrs. owen will be the second woman to become a state official or head of state department. Mrs. L. B. Bush has been director of the child welfare depart ment since it was created late last year.

WORK, STUDY, PLAY SEEN BY TEACHERS South Highlands School Keeps Open House for
 Benefit of Visitors

The South Highlands public school kept "open house" yesterday for the visiting teachers and they were in all rarts of the building throughout the day. The teachers who are attending the sessions of the Alabama Educa- tional Association were interested in the work, study, play system which has recently been inaugurated at South Highlands and all showed the greatest interest in the way the sys- tenn was conducted. The teachers of the school explained the new method to the visitors.
 The play feature was seen at con- siderable disadvantage yesterday, how7 ever, because of the rain, which made an indoor recess necessary.
 The ladies of the South Highlands School Improvement Association served refreshments to the visitors through cut the day.

NOVEL ATTRACTIONS
 AT LOEW'S BIJOU

Headed by The Volunteers" a quar- tet of splendid vocalists, the bill for the
 weekend at Loew's Bijou is among the
 best of the season and was given a cor dial reception by the large audiences at all the performances yesterday The Volunteers" opened their act by the apparent selection of three of the numbers from the audience. which is novel and amusing, but they relegate their undoubted vocal ability to second place in their song numbers by the introduc- ton of some very weak comedy Comedy and ''The Rosary" constitute the very es- sence of incongruousness. M Bob Cook and Dot Oatman are sA real vaudeville team with good material and the ability to put it over. Cook rendered
 his song numbers in good voice and Miss Oatman is an able assistant in the comedy features.
 Following a somewhat similar act is
 always a hard spot on vaudeville bill, yet Hal and Francis met the occasion and scored hit with their clever comedy skit, Town and Country Arthur Lloyd is certainly an expert in producing cards. He does a few tricks with playing cards then at the sugges- | ton of the audience producing docu-
 ments of all kinds from a marriage license to a dog tag.
 A hand-balancing act neatly executed | is the offering of the two Florenis, which | is a very acceptable opener. There are thrills and punch and ro- mantle charm and delightful love story in "The Adventurer," the picture feature starring William Farnum.
 A feature of interest in the news pie lures is a section showing Steele Andrews and a seven-foot giant parading street l in Birmingham.
 An added attraction is a 2,000-foot film showing MT Marcus Ioew and his party of movie stars, consisting of June Ca price, Lillian Walker, Ann Luther, Mill dred Reardon. Helen Mover, Ruby De-
 Remer, Claire Whitney, Taylor Holmes Jack Clifford and Dora Dina, visiting Nashville, Tenn, at the opening of Loew' $ Vendome theatre.

exception to the rue. Some of their feats are really astounding, and per- formed with an ease and grace that added much to the act. They came in
 for liberal share of applause.
 Mae Aubrey and Estelle Richie, with
 little music and a little dancing and a
 little singing, present an act that is
 really worth while.
 Let the Wedding Bells Ring Out is
 the title of an amusing skit of married life. A bit of acrobatic dancing tops off
 a good act, making it doubly interesting. Hank Brown keeps the audience in an uproar by his talking and dancing while
 the other member of the company, a young lady of pleasing appearance, does some excellent singing.
 "Duds," the Goldwyn feature starring Tom Moore, is both timely and interest ing. It deals with German after-war artivities in such a manner that the
 moral sought to be conveyed is absorbed unconsciously Tom Moore has a role particularly suited for his virile person ality, ana in this picture is seen at his very best. While some parts of the picture are highly dramatic, there is a delightful comedy vein running through
 1t which relieves the tense situations.

 Headline honors were shared by Loietta and her Hawaiian serenaders and the Kicamus brothers, Japanese equiibrists, both acts being generously applauded. The Hawaiian music was excellently rem dered and, with the elaborate stage set tings and other features, made the act entirely pleasing.
 The Japanese are noted for the high $ class character of their offerings, ani that of the two Kicamus brothers is nc
