BIRMINGHAM MAN DROPS DEAD AFTER
 MAKING 4 MILLION
Interment of Emory M. Novel; May Take Place Here-Dead Man Has
 Relatives Here

Emory M. Novel;, millionaire, formerly of Birmingham, dropped dead, stricken with apoplexy, in the Hotel Sinton, Cin- cinnat, Tuesday, according to messages receved by his brother, Edgar Novel;, of Macon, Ga, who is now on his way to Cincinnati
 A transaction in which MT. Novel; made $1500,000 through the sale of oil properties in Kentucky had just been consummated when his unexpected death occurred
 Mrs. s. L. Wade of Hanover circle Birmingham, who was the mother of Mir Nowelps first wife, received a message yesterday from business associates of Mir. Howell in Cincinnati advising that an h. vestigation, including an autopsy, be made.
 Mrs. Wade also receved another mes- sage which simply announced the death and that apoplexy was the cause.
 Relatives and intimate friends of MT Nowell here say that when last they saw him he appeared in excellent health. The news of his sudden end was entirely un- expected.
 MT. Nowell worked his way up in Bir- mingham, becoming some years ago an influential factor in the real estate busi- ness. Having made sufficent working capital in this field. he left the city about four years ago and became interested in the development of the oil properties in

it is possible for alien members of the socialist party to control socialists elected 10 public office through a clause in the party constitution re- auiring nominated candidates to give the executive committee signed resig- nations from office, brought out that Mayor Lunn had signed such resig- nation in 1911 but had refused to do SO after that
 Mir. Lunn, a former member of Con gress, also testified that he had point ed out at the socialist state conVen- ton in Rochester in 1914 that. with aliens admitted to full membership, it might be possible for them at the meeting of a local, to issue a party in- struction.
 q did not believe any elected of- ficial should be instructed in his ot- ficiaf acts by those who are not en- titled to vote" said Mir. Lunn. Such a method I consider undemocratlc ana un Americap."
 MT. Lunn took the stand after MT. Stedman, in renewing his motion TOT the striking out of a letter to Mar tens from what purported to be the socialist organization in the Eighth assembly district, had declared this pledge of support to aid in establish ment here of a soviet system of gov ernment, had been made not by social ists, but by a group excluded because it held such ideas.
 In making this motion, Mir. Stedman laid the cornerstone of defense that several splits had occurred recently in the socialist party, when the left Villagers and communists had broken away, and that many of their acts were being worngfully charged to the socialists.

YOU A TARGET FOR
 INFLUENZA? It Hits Listless, Rundown Peo- pie First = Their
 Blood Is Thin GERMS EVERYWHERE IN
 EPIDEMIC Be Prepared-Strengthen and Build Up Your Blood With
 pto-Mangan

If it Is true that you are not feeling your best---if you have that always s-tired" feel ing and no interest or enthusiAsm---then you should be careful of the influenza
 It is thin -blooded anemc people that dis case strikes first. The fact that you have had very few serious illnesses has noth- ing to do with it. Everyone gets rundown occasionally. and when they do, the blood is in no condition to fight off disease germs. because it has not enough red corpuscles It is the red corpuscles of the blood that fight disease and save you from sickness.
 You simply can't afford to take chances when influenza is striking down thousands everywhere. Fortify your blood---build it up with the pleasant tonic, pto~Mangan.
 And should you be just recovering from influenza, you need Pepto- Mangan because your blood has exhausted it's strength. Pepto- Mangan will help build you up.
 Pepto-Mangan Is widely and heartily en- dorsed by physicians. It is effective and easy to take. Comes in either liquid or tablet form. No difference in medicinal properties
 Sold at any drug store. But be sure you get the genuine Pepto- , Ask for it by the name and be sure the full name is on the package.---Adv.

BRANLY sKEPTICAL

Paris, January 2S.-Prof. Edouard Bran ly. inventor of the coherer, which made the practical application of wireless teleg- raphy possible, is skeptical about wire less messages from Mars. An expres- sion of his opinion was sought in con- netction with the disclosure by Slgnor Maroon that mysterous signals, evidently from a great distance, were being re- ceived at times by the Marconi instru- ments.
 "If the strange signals are caused by solar disturbances how can you explain the fact that they correspond to letters of the Morse alphabet?" said Professor Brandy.
 If they are messages from planets, as- suming that planets are habttable, 1t must follow that the species peoplng them has reached a degree of civiliza- ton comparable with ours, that these people possess the gift of speech and that the progress of their science has resulted in the construction of an appa ratus in some way akin to ours--ft would be a series of improbable coincidences.
 Solar disturbances might cause strokes at more or less long intervals--but no letters"
 General Ferris, chief of the French army wireless service, in statement in the Petit Parisien says:
 'I can assure you that nothing abnof- nal has been received at Eiffel Tower. We constantly have disturbances Of the Parisan currents, as they are called, which impede communication They are attributable to atmospheric disturb ance, or the sun, whose powerful mag netic wield has a formidable influence on our planet"
 Asked if it would be possible to send a wireless message to Mars, General Fer rie replied:
 Although the wireless is highly per fected on earth, 1t would be impossible to accomplish this prodigy, for the waves would have great difficulty in travers- ing the upper strata of the air. which are made conductors by the sun. Certain ex- perts maintain that the waves not only cannot cross in daytime, but are even reflected back to the earth.
 "One cannot deny offhand to the Mar tians' Qf such exist ability to do what we cannot attempt. Tn any case, to De sure that there Is such emission, all posts on the globe ought to receive waves of the same length at the same hour"
 .eYou may be sure when that is dem onstrated to us we will get to work im- mediately to elucidate so absorbing a uuAstionn

congressional action was one of those however. remaining intact
 The sticking point on the Monroe doctrine reservation came when the democrats proposed to strike out provision that the doctrine should be interpreted by the United States alone while the Article 10 imnasse was reached on a democratic nroposal to make the exemption from the articles obligations apply only to use of the na- tions armed forces. It was when the whole negotiations had been sifted down to these two proDositions that the republicans served their notice that they would not agree to any compro- mise on the two reservations affected
 Should the bipartisan negotiations collapse at tomorrow's meeting, demo- cratic leaders expect to trv to bring the treaty into the open Senate for de- bate.
