KNOXVILLE THREATENED

Knoxville, Tenn, September 23.- Chief Haynes received an anonymous letter today warning that Knoxville's red days will be between September 23 and 25.
 Reference is made to the recent Wall street explosion. The letter was mailed at a nearby town and purports to come as warning to avoid trouble at Knox vile similar to that experienced on Wall street in New York.
 The letter advises that ''extras." meaning extra officers. should be placed on duty at the more important buildings.
 The communication reads as follows: 'Chief of Police Haynes:
 Between September 23 and 25 will be Knoxville's red days. Rem emper Wall street!
 Chief. tip to the wise they say. is sufficient.
 Better put a few extras at some of the more important places. Remember Wan street."
 The letter was turned over to the commissioner of public safety and the federal authorities will be advised. The letter is interpreted by police detec- tives as a threat that violence will be attempted here by anarchists.
 Because of the warning received by CAief of Police Haynes, the city hall and other rublic buildings are tonight heavily guarded.

SENATE DOUBLES
 FUND FOR STATE
 LAW ENF FORCEMENT
ReverSes Former Action on MeaSure-Both Houses Are Working Hard For Ad-
 journment Next Week
By FRED IT. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau The Aso-HeraId
 22l.2 Eirsi National Bank RuiIdina

Montgomery, September 23.-(Spe-
 cial)-Determined to enact emergency
 legislation in time to adjourn sine die
 the latter part of next week if such
 be within the power of human kind,
 both houses of the abama legisla-
 ture got down to business Thursday
 and before the end of the. day the
 senate had reconsidered its vote where
 by it killed the bill giving the law en-
 torcement department $50.000 a year and had passed it by majority of seventeen to twelve and had passed two of the three measures for the legaliza- ton of votes cast by women, while the house passed eight bills of state im- portance, chief among them being the enc which increases the appropriation i, of the state child welfare departm to s30,000 year and the one which
 permits banks of Alabama to charge
 exchange of Is of l per cent for the
 handling of checks.
 The action of the senate in recon siderlng the vote of the law enforce
 ment appropriation bill caused as much surprise as did it's defeat Wednesday. President Pro Tem T. J. Bedsole made the motion to reconsider, announcing that he voted against 1t under the wrong impression about the work which had been done. Since the house
 passed a similar bill Wednesday the increased appropriation is certain to be granted.
 Greatest interest in the work of tho house during the day probably was in the bill by Representative Dansby of Choctaw which legaliZes the action of various small banks in charging ex-
 change on checks. For several months controversy has existed between the
 small banks and the federal reserve system, the latter insisting that all checks shall be handled without ex- change; in other words be paid at par. The small banks have charged ex-
 change as long as they have been in existence and in their fight with the federal reserve banks have the assist- ance of the state banking departme nt which drew the bill. The measure was passed by vote of 66 to 0.

 He did not state specifically what his policy would be if elected President,
 but he suggested that this nation all

 There are two phases of the so- called Irish question in America. In. cividual sentiment is one thing and it
 is recognized that there is widespread sympathy here for the cause of Irish autonomy. We voted an expression of LupdtHy III the otndte at the tune the

 q favor going in to put an end to war for all time" said the governor. This is my position. l am determined to secure the earliest possible entrance into the League of Nations with the least possible delay and with the least possible reservations needed to accom- |plish that result. The platform adopt- led by the convention at which was nominated permits reservations which will clarify and reassure our people and is opposed only to reservations which would nullify and destroy
 q have no doubt that republican and democratic senators alike will loyalty fulfill the peoples mandate, which my election will signify I shall endeavor to meet all reasonable desires for prop CT rest rvations which are offered in sincerity and not merely presented as itrumped up for political purposes. My heart is in this fight and l will put forth all effort and make any reasona- ble concessions to win it that we may secure membership in the League of Nations.'
 The governors statement was made lin response to questions in local rep ] b. lican newspapers which he said he was informed were inspired by two advance agents of Chairman Hays of the repIb- lican national committee. These men, named Headly and Smith, the candi- date said were Hays scouts and en- deavoring to embarrass and minimize his western campaign by traveling a few days ahead of the governors !tin- |erary.

Men of Automobile Industry Are Cautious and When Questioned Seem to

By CLINTON W. GILBERT

Detroit, September 23.-(SpeciRI.)- This city is good place to find out what is the attitude of American busi- ness in this campaign. Detroit is one of the great manufacturing cities of the country and it's big industry, the manufacture and sale of automobiles, has been keenIy aware for some time of the readjustment that is nt hand, of the necessity of waiting until credit is improved, of even lower prices, than perhaps of lower wages.
 Henry Ford has started the fun ly going back to pre-war prices for his automobiles There have been signs right along that he intended to do his Where other automobile manufacturers have been laying off men, Ford has placing them with others. His force has probably not been reduced He has merely replaced less efficient men with more efficient men. A crowd of be seen all the time about the Ford plant and at another plant, too.

 When prices begin to be cut and there is talk of wage reductions, it is a time for some business anxiety. Man ufacturers are prudent and take their politics rather seriously.
