Healey, anglers of considerable experience, added new fish story to their tales of rod and reel Wednesday morning, when the for mer claims that he waded boldly out into the waters, of the T. C. l. Oxmoor lake and brought back a six or seven pound bass after a rather strenuous chase in the water.
 The two fishermen had been angling for some time on the banks of the little lake, when said bass swan boldly into the shallow waters adjacent to the shore. Under directions from MT. Healy, Ben Siegel put out from shore, and drove the big fish farther into the shallow water where he was able to grab the bass by his gills.
 At the same time other fishermen on the lake succeeded in catching another bass weighing slightly over four pounds The smaller fish played with the rod Tor some time before he finally swallowed a big minnow and at the same time caught the hook in his jaw.

 a right to be heard as any other man
 in this convention."
 Gross proceeded to read his report
 with interruptions of hisses cat calls
 and occasionally cries of ''Go home.' He managed to get along, however,

mainstay of the institution, those lives, characters and achievement have made it what it is and augurs so well for a brilliant future and a very sin cere conviction on my own part inn pelled me to lay aside personal consid- erations and act and speak fearlessly as their chosen leader. The unex- plained action of the board in sum marily severing my connection with Auburn is impelling these men to won der if the trustees are attempting to discipline them and voice resentment against their recent activities by mak ing me a vicarious sufferer. This idea. whether correct or not, obtains lodg ment in their minds. Friction will be engendered, l am afraid, by the alumni of Auburn that will initiate against the future of the institution, which, am persuaded, is as dear to the mem bers of the board as l know it to be to the thousands of local alumni who are now ready and eager to rally to the support of the able and efficient new president. For this reason, and this alone, l sincerely regret that the board did not more carefully consider the resolution mad, if such was it's purpose. and make it clear that it was aimed at some supposed shortcomings on my part In passing I may say that if the board has any charges to make against me it. should certainly give me the opportunity to know what they are and chance to answer them and not subject me to star chamber con clusion of guilt.
 My relations with the board for so many years, and my high regard for it's devotion to the best interests of Auburn, robs me of any feeling of ami mostly, but my greater love for what conceive to be the greatest institu ton of it's kind in the country urges me to make thls statement and to deprecate any efforts the part of the alumni and other frieds of Au- burn who may be my friends, and who are perplexed and nettled by this action. to make it the occasion of dis cord and strife.
 Tt is my earnest purpose to forget in the injustice greater service in an individual capacity and to be, as have always been. for Auburn first last and all the time."

OWEN TO CONTINUE
 TO HOLD OFFICE

Montgomery, June .-(Special)-M A. Owen will continue to hold the office of deputy solicitor of Coffee county The
 supreme court Thursday affirmed the de- cision of the Coffee circuit court, which held that Owens office was not abol- ished by the local act of 1919 which re- pealed the statute creating the county court for Coffe. This decision was rem dered because the law under which Owen holds office provide other duties than those in the county court.
 s. N Rowe, propate judge of Coffee county, declined to approve Owens sal-
 ary voucher, contending that he was
 legislated out of office, and this created
 the issue for the courts.

 A s PRESIDENT OF
 SUFFRAGE ALLIANCE

Geneva, Switzerland, June 10.-Mrs.
 Carrie Chapman Catt resigned the presi-
 dency of the International Woman Suf-
 frage Alliance at the session of that
 body held this afternoon. She delivered a sympathetic speech, saying that,
 though she felt like a mother to all after sixteen years as president of the alliance, her age and her diminished energies compelled her to relinqush the
 task, which, in her opinion. required a younger woman.
 The delegates, proposal of a Brit
 ish delegate, protested against Mrs. Catts withdrawal, and begged her to reconsider her judgment. Her decision, however, appears to be final, but will be made absolute tomorrow.
 London was chosen as the permanent seat of the International Woman Suf- frage Alliance.

l tion, but is a 'aaw and order" declara- 1 tion for impartial enforcement of all laws.
 In a mix-up from confusion of plat form work, the plank was left from the great pile taken to the Coliseum and read by Chairman Watson of the resolutions committee. It was not read to the convention and was not in the platform as officially adopted. but Chairman Watson. Senator Shoot and others in charge of the document de- clared it was adopted by the resolu- tions committee and is a part of the platform.
 "DRYS" TREASURED
 "Dry" leaders were assured. before the commjttee headed at breakneck speed for the Coliseum. that the Flaw 'and order" plank was in the platform under Senator Watson's arm. No re- port of it's absence was had tonight until Senator Watsons attention was called to the omission. Prohibition leaders also were under the impress sion that the platform listed the Vol stead enforcement act among republic an congressional achievements, but as read it contained no such indorse- ment.
 The Flaw and order" plank, mem bers of the committee explained. was designed to fill the gap caused by overwhelming rejection by the .reso- lutions committee of the proposal of William Allen White of Kansas for plank specifically pledging enforce ment of the Volstead law. Mir. Whites plank got only six or eight votes Some prohibition workers were dis posed to make a fight. for the White plank :n the convention, but it got no where, the move being opposed by Wayne B. Wheeler. general counsel for the Anti Saloon League of Amer ica.
 When informed that the platform pointed with pride to the Volstead law and also contained the' general law enlargement plank, MT. Wheeler said that it would prove satisfactory. all though not entirely meeting dry" wishes. He also expressed satisfac- tion over keeping any wet or moist declaration from the platform. As originally drafted for the reso- lutons subcommittee's work, the law and order plank contained the follow ing clause, which was dropped out later:
 With regard to the sale and manufac- ture of intoxicating bevera Ses, the re-
 publican party will stand for the en- | fCrcement of the constitution of the [ yntied States as it shall be declared by
 the supreme court.''
 i This clause, leaders explained was written before the courts decision last Monday.

NEW LIST APPROVED

Utah presented Ernest Bamberger to succeed Senator Reed Shoot With the exception of the states having dis putea the convention approved the new list.
 Charles D. Hilles of New York of fered a resolution to limit the speeches to two seconding speeches of five min utes each. Two seconds were required and several were given The conven- tion adopted it with a few scattering noes.
 The convention next turned to the matter of deciding who is the new na- tional committeeman from Georgia The secretary called the roll of the delegation.
 c. F. Goree. the state chairman, cast his vote for the negro. There were demands for a roll call,
 Chairman Lodge told the convention the vote of the state delegation set tied the question.
 Then the convention settled down for another period of inactivity and waiting, in which band selections and conversation and wiping of fevered brows predominated. The word came up from downtown that the resolutions committee would be on hand with the platform in the next half hour or less
 WATSON PRESENTS REPORT
 At seven minutes after Senator Watson, chairman of the resolutions committee, arrived on the platform with Senator Shoot and others who had been working on the document The crowd realized. that the period of waiting was over and also recog- nized Jim" Watson. who proceeded to present the report They gave him a reception of cheers
 The convention got it's first real thrill when Senator Watson struck the plank which declared for free speech and free assembly. but added that no advocacy of violent overthrow of the govern nent or resistance to the law was to be tolerated There were cheers when he struck that and the convention rose and waved flags.
 His mention of the name of Theodore Roosevelt in connection with conserva- ncn laws brought out another demon- Stration.
 The foreign relations plank was the one the convention was waiting for. With its references to the peace treaty Attention frightened as Senator Watson reported that part of the platform. It cfeered the Mexican plank loudly with it's attack on President Wilson's con- duet of relations south of the Rio Grande. and let out a cheer when Sem atoi Watson started the portion refer ring to the League of Nations.
 DENUNCIATION CHEERED
 The delegates followed him closely as he read the denunciation of the League of Nations as brought home from Paris by President Wilson, and the cheers broke out before he could finish the phrases on which the con flicting elements of the party had been at odds for the last three days
 Senator Watson finished the reading of the resolutions to the accompani- nent of a burst of cheering.
 Edwin J. Gross of Milwaukee, one of the Wisconsin delegates at large, ap- peared to offer a minority report on the peace plank. Evidently some of the delegates did not want to hear him. There were shouts and some scattering hisses as Senator Lodge asked the con veftion to listen to what Gross had to say.
 I'll get the best order I can for ycu." said Senator Lodge, in an aside to Gross. but I'm afraid it won't be much"
 The convention seemed still in no

Then he turned to toast to the con- Yention and drank down the water
 Il don't know who's going to be nominated" Uncle Joe confided to the crowd. But l trust and believe that he will be great success l haven't seen the resolutions you will be called upon to approve. but I feel sure they will deserve your approval.

 At that point Uncle Joe turned and asked the convention managers; Say isn't there something else ready?' Apparently nothing else was ready, and MT. Cannon went on for another moment and then gave his audience God bless you and a good afternoon"
 Then there were calls for Teddy. The crowd wanted to look at Lieut. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who was on the platform.
