Montgomery, April 26.-(Special At torneys for Sheriff John Strength of El. more county today filed demurrers to the states specifications in the articles of inn peachment against Strength. which were submitted to the supreme court two weeks ago The pleading will be consid- cred by the court next Monday, after which date for the submission of tes- timony will be set if the state does no' lose on preliminary points.
 Sheriff Strength is charged with will full neglect of duty. corruption in office and the use of intoxicants in suca quantities as 10 unfit him for the duties of the office. The demurrers of his at- torneys insisted that the state had not succinctly and properly described the various alleged offenses in such a way as would permit an answer and that It had generalized so extensively the de- fendant had no information about tho real charges against him. It also wat alleged that the states specifications did not allege that any offenses constitute corruption in office or wilfu neglect Among the charges against the sheriff are the locking of men and women in the same cells, the collection of various amounts from persons under the agree ment that they would not be prosecuted for violation of the laws and the issuing of instructions to deputies not to enforce the prohibition laws.

 Total earnings for that period amounted to s32,2s6,722, as compared with s43,S77,S62, in the final quarter cf 1920. Net income of s2o.656,3S9 showed decrease of $11.046.477 and surplus 7f s2,816,y05. compared with 14,4S1, ,44c in the previous quarter.

NEW DEPARTMENT
 IS BEING OPPOSED
Public Welfare Department Will Cause President Con-
 siderable Worry
Ry Associnted Press

Washington, April 26.-Plans for erea- tion of new federal department of puh- lie welfare, though still in a formative stage, have already aroused enough oppo- sition to indicate that President Harding will have much work to do before whip ping the project into final shape.
 The matter was up today. both at the tween Samuel Gompers and other off cials of the American Federation of Labor and Secretary Davis and Brigadier General Sawyer, Mir. Hardings personal representative in welfare department pre- liminary studies The labor men voiced objections to transfer of the childrens and women's bureau of the department of labor to the proposed new department, and the cabinet meeting was said to have developed a difference of opinion as to what should be done with federal educational agencies.
 1t was indicated that no conclusion was reached by Mir Harding and his ad- yisors and that the President planned to confer with administration officials and
  out welfare department plans he first presented during his campaign and later formally confirmed in recommendations to the present Congress.
 Some administration officials are repre- sented as opposing any effort to consoli- date existing educational agencies like the bureau of education in the interior de- partment with the projected welfare de- partment. On the contrary, it was said, |. l.. IrxS n-4t., ant Nf arlaf tion should be created and the work be broadened in. this field separately, leav- ing questions of public health and re- lated subjects to the welfare department.
 Organized labor's objections, as voiced by Matthew Woll, vice president of the labor federation to removal of the wom- ens and children's bureau from the labor department rested on the contention that with them would go supervision over women and children in industry, matters in which labor IS held to have vital interest
