CONGRESSMEN SURPRISED
 BY OPPOSITION CANDIDATES

Washington. March Especially )-- The Alabama members of the House of Representatives who have opposition declare their confidence that they will be returned for other terms. They in- clude Representative Dent of the Sec end district. opposed by Judge John R. Tyson Representative Steagall of the Third district, opposed by William T. Lee of Dothan: Representative Black ion of the Fourth district. opposed by Lamar Jeffers, ana Representative Bankhead of the Tenth district op- posed by Mason Douglass of Russell vile and A. U. Hollis of Sulligent.
 Opposition to MT. Bankhead de- veloped some weeks ago. Opposition to the remaining three came in the na- ture of surprise. That Judge Tyson should have become candidate was received at first in Washington with incredulity. He had served as chief justice of the supreme court. As dis trict counsel for the Atlantic Coast Line he had taken rank as one of the first railroad attornevs of the state. He was regarded as exceedingly friendly to MT. Dent. and had just been l quoted as having said that Mir. Dent l should be reelected and in all prob. ability would be,

COAL MEN TO TEST POWER OF COMMISSION

Washington. March Special l--
 The National Coal Association, of
 W hich all coal producing companies
 are members. announces in Washing
 ton today that a suit testing the power
 of the federal trade commission un-
 necessarily to interrogate it's members
 has been filed in Columbus. Ohio. An
 injunction is asked for.
 During the month of January the
 federal trade commission served upon
 coal mining companies an order re-
 quiring them to file monthly reports beginning with January. 1920. showing
 costs, income and tonnage. and an an-
 lsual report of financial condition. With the order the Smmission issued forms upon which ths reports were to he returned and also issued detailed instructions which irs effect prescribed a system of accounting for coal min ing operations differing substantially from the accounting systems commonly in use in the industrwy. The cost ac- counting methods now in use have been developed to meet the require nients of the revenue saw and treasury department regulations and to meet the necessities of ti.e coal industry. Compliance with the commissions in structions would require substantial changes in these accounting systems and the establishment of new account ing methods which would not be in ac- cordsaee with tas nrpsis'n-T of the revesps law And che rsa ticAs If ss1s interaas revaAre hargess

"WOMEN CAN DO
 WHAT MEN CAN DO"

Washington. March 13.-(spe- ciai.) man does, wo- man will do-whether she wants to or not.
 WhereupOn. having said, Miss Mary Winsor of Haverford. Pa, re- nOwned suffragette, proceeded to smoke cigarette In the Senate restaurant.
 The boldest of the walters begged her pardon before inform ing her that it was contrary to the rules governing the restaurant for women to smoke while eating therein.
 Miss Winsor immediately re- torted: "Why, note that men are smoking"
 "But they are permitted to smoke by the rules,' replied the servftor. SssAnd who makes inc ru1es." re- turned Miss Winsor.
 "Why. the rules committee, of which Senator Moses is chairman."
 ''rhen will see senator Moses,, rejoined Miss Winsor.
 Very calmly she continued smOk- ing.
 sIt is absurd.v said she. "Why. men are permitted to blow smoke in the faces of women. We are expected to suffer hut not to en- joy.''
 At this point she lighted n sec ond cigarette. She puffed it, threw bnck her head with mouth opened and suffered the smoke to flow in- ward to the depths of her being. Then she exhnled 1t In very at- tractive rings.
 She left soon afterwards, bear- ing the palms of her victory. It is not known whether she saw Sem ntor Moses or not.

flying trip to his distsfct. To the rep resentative of this bureau he declared his entire satisfaction with conditions as he found them. He expects to make as clean a sweep against Judge Tyson as he made against NJ. J. Screws two years ago. As soon as the army--re- organization is disposed of he will re- turn to Alabama and perfect his or- ganization.
 MT. Dent is ranking democratic mem- Der of the House committee on mili- .tary affairs. During the war he was chairman of that committee. AS chair man he was in position to do many things on big scale for his district, and in this respect he possibly achieved more than any other member Of the Alabama delegation.
 Representative Blackmon. opposed by Major Jeffers. is as confident of his strength as is MT. Dent. He has just returned from his c;strict. He ex- pressed satisfaction with conditions. He expects to go again to Alabama In the near future. 9sssksss
 Mir Blackmon. duting the war, in- duced the government to buy enough property near Anniston for the use of a large and permanent military estab- 1ishment. Camp Mcclellan was the re- suit It will Stand when the majority of other camps have disappeared And when Camp Gordon Is dismantled in 1921 Mcclellan will receive the troops stationed there. This will necessitate the construction of new barracks and will result in Mcclellan having per manent population of 10000 people.
 Because of Camp Mcclellan the en- tire Fourth district profited and pros pered. Telegrams reaching MT. Black mon today gave him assurance that his reople remembered him and would take care of him at the polls. He is one of the most popular members of the House and is ranked as one of its best lawyers
 Mir Steagall is now in Alabama. His opponent, MT. Lee. Is regarded as a strong man. He was born in Barbour county and for long number of years has practiced law in Houston.s It caused surprise when he announced. He and MT Steagall for many years have been friends. They were both students of the University of Alabama and were members of the same fra ternity. At the present time Mir. Lee has a son in Annapolis appointed by Mir. Steagall
 The race between the two will be well sustaine l. 1t Is promised. The odds. from this angle, apparently favor the incumbent.
 It is reported in Washington that Mason Douglass is the stronger of the two opponents of Representative Bank head. He is young soldier who made good record in the war. He is . graduate of the University of Alabama and is said to promise early develop ment into an orator. If Is believed here that he is playing plans for the future rather than nursing a hope of , victory this year.
 Mir. Bankhead's other opponent, Mir. Hollis is relative of the incumbent.

 50O Davidson Bulidiua

500 Davidson Building
 Washington, March 1S.-(Special )-This bureaus dispatch or some weeks ago re- garding the then embronic struggle in Nebraska between Senator Hitchcock and William Jennings Bryan materializes. There is no longer even a pretended friendship between the two leaders. Sem ator Hitchcock is bending his every. sf- fort to prevent Bryan representing Ne- braska in the San Francisco convention. and MT Bryan is bending every effort to defeat delegates sponsored by TIitch- cock.
 The senator has made no public state- ment. Mir. Bryan has contented himself with statement that If he is elected a delegate he will not under any circum- stances vote for Hitchcock-even if the vote is complimentary-for President
 The situation is more than one of local interest It is of national interest For if MT. Bryan does not win credentials as a delegate, and has no opportunity to se- cure the recognition of the chair, he wifi have no opportunity of taking charge Of the situation, and throwing his strength against that man, or those men. whom he desires to defeat.
 If Bryan is not delegate, the wish of ex-Speaker Champ Clark will probably be satisfied. In declining to enter the presidential primary in Georgia, MT Clark declared a wish that the delegates be minstructed. mad that the convention be- come a consulting convention. With MT. Clark stand W. c. McAdoo and many other notables In democratic circles. If the convention is not bound, and is Bryan's hands are tied as result of, the Nebraska primary, the dark horses will have an excellent opportunity to win the nomination.
 Practically all the candidates are dark horses" And there are dark horses who are not candidates. In this category is Senator Underwod of Alabama. Poli- ticians in Washington regard 1t as more than possible that situation might be deNelnned which will make the Alabam-

 Prior to his connection with the local police department Mir. Weatherby was deputy sheriff of Colbert county, and also had served on the Tuscumbia police force. His record in Sheffield, perhaps, is the best ever attained by an officer of the de- partment here
 He was chief here during the boom days of 1918, and due to his excellent work as an officer, but very little disorder was noted. In running down criminals he established an incomparable record.
 In addition to his good record as an officer, MT. Weatherby was affable and pleasing in manner. and these attributes gained him many friends, and these re- gret his departure for another field. ai- though their best wishes go with him.
 His successor has not been named as yet.

Essentially a Dark Horse Year For Both Parties

 In the republican camp, the situation is different. The candidates are avowed candidates and are running, at the pres ent time, in every field where running is possible There is just one dark horse .'' He is General Pershing. The country, by friends of General Pershing, is per- initted to regard the general as in a re- ceptive mood, with an open mind If the convention should reach deadlock-why not Pershing? And Pershing's friends re- ply. ''The general is the man.
 Senator Fernald of Maine, republican, and a politician who keeps his ear very close to the ground, quietly stated tonight that no man now mentioned as candi- date for President under the auspices of either party would receive the nomina- tion. He holds that this year Is essential ly dark horse'' year. And there is something fin the air, something intan- gible but able to make itself felt, that the Maine senator is correct in his anafy- sis.
 As suggestive of the inaptitude of dem ocrats to enter pre-convention contests, the Georgia situation is regarded as a case in point. In that state a presidential primary will be held. Numerous candi- dates were nominated as entrants by their friends Senator Underwod, W. c. Mo- Adoo and Champ Clark asked to be ex- cused. Just one democrat has accepted, the Attorney General As only one other, in all probability will accept, Senator Reed of Missouri, tffe race promises to be a. side issue. destined to have little bearing on the convention, in which the friernis of the democratic administration and the enemies of the democratic administrat7cn, the latter led by ex-Senator Hardwick and Tom Watson, will struggle for mas tery.
 Tn all other states the democrats gre talking and preparing but do little else It seems to be the general desire that delegates to San Francisco be permitted without undue influence or bias of pss- tisanship. to devise a platform of great appeal to the country, and nominate the most upstanding American to bear the flag of democracy.

 Tuscumbia, Sheffield and Florence
By H. FONTAINE LITTLE

Sheffield. March 13.-(special.)-T movement that was launcned here by the sheffield-Muscle Shoals Club late last year, following conception of the project by J. o. Harris, locally well known bust- ness man, to build a concrete highway between Tuscumbia, Sheffield and Flor ence, has been revived by the Sheffield Muscle Shoals Chamber of Commerce, and definite plans are being worked out for the building of the projected houle- ward.

In a preliminary canvass by committees representing Sheffield and Tuscumbia it was indicated that the sum to be raised by popular subscription would soon be pledged. Application will be made at once for state and federal aid, and before many weeks it is ex- pected that construction work will bs actually under way. It is proposed to have the road completed and opened for traf- fic by the end of the present year
