 LATIN AMERICA FILMS

The motion pictures being shown at the Y. M. c. A. by the Spanish -Ameri- can Club attracted a capacity audi ence last night. An extra film fur nished by the Y. M. c. A., "The Wild Goose Chase" Ford production, was enjoyed also.

 Tonight Is the last night In which these pictures of Mexico and South America will be shown, as the pro- gramme for Latin America week is concluded with this evenings perform ance. It is the hope of those responsi- ble for the celebration that many more will take advantage of this last op- portunity to see these really very fine views from our sister republics.

PROPOSED BONUS
 ID BE CHIEF TOPIC
State Convention American Legion to Take Up Im-
 pOrtant Matters

Just what is the wish of service men of Alabama regarding the proposed bo- nus for soldiers?
 This question, about which so much has been published in the state and concern ing which so many different views have been expressed, will be one of the im- portant topics at the state convention of the American Legion, to be held next Tuesday and Wednesday in Anniston, &C., ccrding to a pre-convention statement is- sued last night by Matt II. Murphy, state commander.
 The bonus discussion, which has been up before the American Legion in Ala bama for several months, and which has resulted in action by many different posts, will be, perhaps, the paramount subject for discussion before the conSen- tion, MT. Murphy believes. It is the de- termination of the state officers of the American Legion to thresh the matter out, and settle, once and for all time, the matter of whether or not Alabama serv- ice men desire bonus and in what form that bonus would be most acceptable.
 Other important matters will also come before the great state gatherings accord ing to the commander. 1t is believed that
  question of negro posts will come up for discussion again, inasmuch as several re- quests for membership have come in from colored service men.
 According to the information being re- ceived daily at the office of the state commander, the convention will be a gala event. with large attendance and with great spirit and enthusiasm in evidence
 '0The American Legion in Alabama is coming into it's right along now, said State Commander Murphy. From ten posts year ago to more than sixty five today has been excellent progress. This, however, will be eclipsed during ths next year, I believe, because with per- feet working organization such as ex- ists today, it will be little trouble to double the membership readily.
 q believe that by the time the 1921 convention meets, very great majority of the ex-service men of the state will be enrolled as members of the American Legion.'

French Discuss Paying
 U. $. Debt With Colonies
By Associated Press

Paris. June IA serious discussion of a proposal that France wipe out her debt to the United States by turning over to that country certain colonial possessions has been aroused through the advocacy of such course by Charles Glide, professor of political economy in the University of Paris and one of the country's most emi- nent economists.
 Professor Glide says he regards such a course not only desirable because 1t would relieve France from the neces- sity of straining her resources to de- velop burdensome possessions. but be- cause the day might come when France would not be in a position to defend some of her distant colonies Frances colonial aspirations, Prof Glide declares, should be confined to Africa.
 Algeria Morocco and Tunis, prop erlv exploited should amply suffice to keep us supplied with what we need, Prof. Glide said today.F

TRAPSHOOTING IS
 HAVING BEST YEAR
By PETER F. CARNEY,
ditor National Sports Syndicate

Trapshooting is having its best year.
 There seems to be more interest in the sport this year than since prior to the war and with new clubs organ izing in all parts of the United States and Canada it looks like now as if the figures of 1916 would be wiped from the books.
 The peculiar part of the season thus far-or for the first forty-six shoots held-is that the very first shoot of the season. that at Pinehurst, was the biggest in point of numbers and tar gets thrown There were 22S shooters at Pinehurst and l7T.zo0 targets were thrown. By the time the next batch of reports come in Clarksdale and Lakewood will both have passed Pine hurst in attendance figures but in the first forty-six shoots reported Pine hurst was the leading club.
 In the tournaments reported, twen- ty-two amateur shooters shot twenty eight straight scores over 100 and nine professionals shot fourteen scores over 100 straight. and not one of the scores reached 200 straight.

The Ty Cobb admirers who are sad- dened because of the miserable 1920 "get away of the Southern Typhoon" may find consolation in the 1918 statistics.
 Cobb started off like the veriest busher this year-just as he did in 191S-and could not get into stride in the first month. During the last few weeks, the greatest batsman of all time, has been connecting in regular fashion and is climbing upward slowly, yet surely. to- ward the heights that he dominated for so long,
 Many of the Cobb enthusiasts are fear ful lest his slow start this year might handicap him in his efforts to annex again the clouting championship of the universe. They have the idea that Cobo is strictly a front runner, man who gets away at top speed and holds the pace. They fail to recall to mind that two years ago Cobb staged the most spectacular spurt in baseball history.
 When the 1918 season was pried loose, Cobb was not in good physical condition. He had been sick during the winter, al- though not as seriously i'll as during the off season of 1919. Yet he reported in none too good shape, and it was nearly two months before he could hammer his way above the 300 mark. But when he once started-well, look at the following figures. which cover Ty Cobb's work for aLc of

By Associated Press

Raleigh, N. C., June 4.-Democrats of North Carolina will hold a state wide primary tomorrow to nominate candidates for United States senator. governor. congressman, members of the legislature and other state offices.
 The republican candidates for office, recommended in the state convention, have already been certified as nomi- mated without opposition, except in the case of two congressional races and the presidency. A preferential vote will be cast between Hiram Johnson and Major General Wood for the re- publican presidential nomination, but it's effect will be only moral, since the republican national convention will be In session long before the state board of elections canvasses the returns.

President Must Decide Who Is Boss ofAien Dep ortation
Attorney General Palmer and Assistant Secretary of Labor Post Differ Question of Deportation of Alien Enemies = Enmty Becomes Highly
 Developed and Presidents Aid Invoked

which it was made to appear that MT. Palmer; in order to worK up a fake alarm,' resorted, through his agents, to the most interruptions methods of per secution, legal and otherwise, to make out his case to the effect that American institutions were endangered
 Examples were cited of arrests with out warrants, trials without recourse 10 conventional methods of practice, brutal ity on the part of wardens in beating and applying the third degree to 'politicai offenders. This statement was prepared by dozen lawyers representing various sections of the country, none of whom' according to their admission, held mem bership in red societies.
 Another point of the attack against the Attorney General was the general charge that in obtaining cooked" up evidence, MT. Palmer employed provocateurs whose duty it was to affiliate with agitators, organize them, set them aflame with i'm aginary evils, and move them against the government-and then expose them to the arrest of the department.
 MADE NO REPLY
 This circular did not attract attention in Washington, and was not printed Tn local papers. The department made no reply, although when later appearing be- fore a committee of Congress, MT. fal- mer, by indirection, referred to 1t in de- nying that the department had every em- ployed a provocateur. He took occasion' furthermore, to intimate that the work was that of MT. Post, and to reiterate his previous charge that Mir. Post was in sympathy with the reds" and there- fore, would not do his duty by proceed- ing against them.
 The National Popular Government Leagues effort was a miscarriage, be- cause:
 1. The league is political. and on the face of things radical.
 ?. It's activity was a feature of a pos litical year in which the Attorney General is a candidate for the presidency.
 3. After it's very careful investigation, extending throughout an entire year, It cited half dozen cases in several thou sand with which the Attorney General has been forced to deal.
 4. The lawyers who made the investI- gation, are, while not members of red societies-the truth of which they felt called upon to state-radicals, and pro- testants against the existing order of things.

nexing two, three and four safetieS per day. On June 27 the averages showed him hitting .323 On June 30 his mark was .33S. On July he pushed himself into second place with .342, and four days later tied George Sisler for the lead, with .354
 On the following day, July 8. Cobb made four hits in five times at bat against Philadelphia twirling. which gave him an leverage of .362-and the league leadership, which he never afterward relinquished He ended the season with rating of .SS2.
 No one familiar with Cobb's condition expected very much from him in bat ting way during the first month of 192o. For the Georgian was attacked with luin- bago during the winter and still suffers from it. On top of that he was stricken with influenza just before the season be- gan and when he got into the lineup he was weak and unable to do himself jus tice Any physician will frankly tell you that a man who suffers from lumbago and is just out of an influenza sick bed few weeks is only about 40 per cent ef- ficient.
 Because of this dual handicap Cobb showed nothing of greatness during the first month of 1920. His first week of play netted him flat average of 300. In the next week of play he made only two hits in eighteen times at bat, reduc- ing him to PIP. The following week he gained two points. Bus in the fourth week Ty Cobb added twenty-nine markers to his total, finishing the first month of play with .243
 But Cobb has been coming along since then not with an amazing rush that chara cterized 1918, but in way that makes it almost moral certainty that he will hit we'll beyond 300 before very long. If the lumbago gets out of Ty Cobb s system and the influenza germs bid him adieu, it is fairly reasona ble wager that when the October flag falls one of the ex- pressions will be:
 Well. see that Ty Cobb is the bat ting leader again."

Lost-One Bullfrog

Lost. one extra large green bull frog. Has green back and very long green legs. If found, please place him under good bond and notify Capt. D. c. Simmons"
 The above is the copy of a notice given to all policemen and placed on file. It seems that Captain Simmons of the police force had adopted big bullfrog as his pet and had given it a home in his automobile.
 But Mister Frog began to long for the blue streams and moss banks. As result he used his pedal extremities to advantage by leaping from the car. Now the captain misses his pet and that is the reason for the notice to the police force.
