Columbus, Ca. January H.-While search continusd today throughout Ala bama and Georgia border counties for four robbers who held up and looted the -2henix-G -Gi-ord Bank in Phenix. Ala opposite here, two men were arrested near liirard and brought to jail here
 Thomas Ford. owner of the automobile in whA9h the robbers escaped. and a negro employed by him were the men ar rested. Ford was held on a warrant charging robbery. police alleging that he was an accomplice of the robbers. The negro was held on suspicion.
 Ford entered the bank just before the robbery was committed and left his auto mooile outside with the engine running, police said, thus enabling the robbers. as they left, to get a flying start. It turned
 out they needed this as C. L. Multn,
 president of the bank, rushed out and fired i've shots at them as they disap- peared.
 Ford was arranging to open an account at the bank, of which he had not pre- viously been a customer. police said. and had just offered a deposit of 500 as ths robbers fired shot of warning and pr dered every one to throw up their hands The robbers took the s20o.

.DESCHANEL NAMED
 ! FRENCH PRESIDENT
Secures 734 Out of SS9 Votes Cast By Members of
 National Assembly
BslAsso,iatsd prss,

} Versailles, January 17.--Paul Descha- nel was elected president of the French republic today by 734 votes of the sSs mgmbers of the national assembly vot- ing. His majority was the largest since the election of Louis Adolphe Thiers, the first president after the fall of the empire. who was chosen unanimously
 The result was certain since the eau GUS of yesterday at which M. Deschanel was chosen the candidate of the senate and chamber of deputies comprising all the various parties. The election took on besides a holiday appearance the at mosphere of patriotic manifestation.
 The feeling among the senators and .deputies was that after the retirement or Premier Clemenceau from the contest, to whom the parliament was disposed to give evidence of the nations grati- tude, it was fitting the new president should come into power with vote that would give him the necessary au- thoritv to speak impressiveiy for France. The general sentiment is that while M. Deschanel has not won the presidency hv s,rch outstanding service as those rendered by Premier Clemenceau, he IS n man who is admirably adapted foT the nosition which requires careful tact and is about all a safe man.

ALLIED PREMIERS
 NOT IN ACCORD ON
 BLOCKADE LIFTING
By Associated Press

Paris. January 1.-The prime minis ters of the allies, it appears, were not in entire accord on the decisions yester- day regarding limited opening of trade with Russia.
 Premier Lloyd George proposed the measure seemingly to- conciliate the labor forces of England. Premier Nittl supported MT. Lloyd George, explaining that the decision would have good effect upon political opinion in Italy i where a good deal of bolshevik agita- | on is reported.
 v Premier Clemenceau opposed any dealings with bolshevik Russia but finally said wearily that he would agree to such measure of trade as that finally announced He insisted, how ever, upon writing the final paragraph affirming that the allies had. not changed their attitude toward the SO viets.

DECLARATION OF
 INDEPENDENCE TO
 BE SHOWN PEOPLE
Theatres Throughout Nation Will Ex- hibit Films oh Historic Document In Effort Nto Eradicate
 B0lshevism
By As.oaiatsd Pres.

Washington, January 11.--Recent ac- tivities of radical propag gandssts led Secretary Lansing this week to display for the first time in IS years the orig inal parchments of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.
 In <t6A presence of a group of oft ciafs the parchments were removed from the protecting walls of steel safe enclosing them and placed on view in the State Department for an hour while motion picture cameras re- corded their appearance for the benefit of the 110.000.0 900 persons living under the principles enunciated by them.
 Theatres from Maine to California and from the Gulf to Canada will ex- hibit the films in the coming weeks in an effort ito remove from the public mind in every city. town and village any possible effects of recent red ac- tivities."
 Owing to their age. exhibition of the parchments is rare event. Exposure to light. even though each sheet is protected carefully from air by her. medically sealed glass plates. causes additional fading of rne ink inscribing
 the immortal words which brought the [ republic into being.
 It was only the hysterical clamor of
 radical aeitators who obtained many
 loyal citizens as listeners because of
 the reaction after the war that n-
 duced Secretary Lansing to enlist the cooperation of the press and motion
 picture industry to remind the people of this country of their debt to the land in which they live. Fearing a great crush to see the precious sheets if the plan became known. with the possibility of serisnsr damage resulting. Announcement of what was done was not made until today
 Both the Declaration and the Con- stitution were found in excellent con dition. The former for many years has been very faded. due to the fact that letter press copy from which reproductions have come was made about 70 years ago, and in the wetting necessary much of the ink was lost The signatures are very indistinct, ex cept for the famous John Hancock. written extra large with nourishes and right in the most prominent place so chat his advocacy of the document s principles should be known to all the world

DEMON DIES HARD

New York. January 17.-Demon rum die dhard in New York today. but he died and even hiS distant relative. near-beer. will be no more In thls state after January 31, according to an announcement today by Deputy Excise Commissioner s. Harry Ralston.
 MT. Ralston asserted no provision had been made for licensing alcoholic drinks of any kind after this month, and that unless the legislature rushes through a new measure saloon keepers who hope to sell near-beer and light wines will have to shut up shop.
 "The last legislature.' said MT. Rals- ton, passed a measure providing a liquor license for four months, instead of a year, which ends on January 51. When that ceases there is no way of licensing the sale of liquor in the state.
 "The state law defines liquor as in cluding all distilled and rectified spirits. fermented wine and malt de- coctions.
 Without license there can be no sale of near beer or anything else which carries the slightest percentage @ be for the legislature to pass a new law embracing the licensing Of these drinks"
 Col Daniel L. Porter, supervisor of internal \evenue agents for the New York district made it plain today New York was to be as dry IS the Sahara. He emphasized this point by lining up 150 applicants for appointment as federal agents tn run down liquor. SEIZED 800 CASES Having done this, he had 800 cases of whisky, which just missed" ex- port, seized and piled high in front of the custom house.
 He had 12 warrants issued in con nection with the seizure. hinting that he thought the liquor was never in- tended for a long voyage overseas and that it was taken from bonded ware houses for sale right here in the U. s. A.
 One tragedy marked the exit of demon rum. Despondent because he had been deprived of his liquor, Fritz K1oster committed suicide by inhaling
 gas.
 With the closing of saloons, pool room shave become the rendezvous for drug addicts and criminals who are leading the city's youth astray, ac- cording to Commissioner of Accounts Hirschfield, who tonight recommended to Mayor Hylan a "c1eanup" of these establishments.
 In addition to urging cleanup. MT Hirschfield said he intended to draw up for presentation to the board of aldermen a resolution providing for enactment of regulations forbidding 1 pool rooms above the ground floor ot |, any building, barring partitions and prohibitiong screening of the windows with shades.

DEPENDENT ON IMPORTS

The protracted disorganization of Russian industry has rendered millions of Ru.Aians dependent entirely on im- portatang of manufactured articles The counlry's most urgent needs are clotIling drugs. chemicals. agrlcul- turai implements and railway supplies. There are also pressing requirements for hardware. tools and machinery othe> than agricultural and household utensils. and for some food products, and it is pointed out the United States is in a position to supply all these needs.
 Apart from the disorganization of transport. the greatest difficulty fore seen in establishing trade relations with Russia has been the matter of financing shipments and effecting pay
 nents for them. It is declared there is plenty of money in the hands of the peasants but they are reluctant to mart with their produce as long they receive only paper money in return. On the other hand. feweforeign traders will agree to accept this paper money in payment for goods they deliver.
 The only way out of the deadlock thus created will be resort to the prin- eiple of barter. and in lieu of money accept payment in kind. in which hides butter. flax wool. cheese. bacon. grain furs. lumber. minerals and fish will be Russia,s main offerings It is be- lieved the difficulties attending the organization of Russia's industries will continue this plan of bartering as one of the most important factors in Russian export trade for some wears to come.
