KING OF M|SRULE WILL LAND TODAY
 IN NEW ORLEANS
By Associated Press

New Orleans, February With all the downtown section of the city gaily dec orated with flags and carnival colors, the throngs of elaborately costumed merry-makers in the city tonight are ready for the arrival tomorrow of Rex, King of Misrule," who is scheduled to land from hydroplane in the "city care forgot" at Il o'clock.
 While this years Mardi Gras is not being celebrated with the same care free abandon that marked carnivals in ante-prohibition days, yet many cele- orators demonstrated tonight that at least some joy can be wrung out of the occasion without the aid of bottled en- thusiasm by marching through the streets to the music of impromptu jazz bands
 Many of the carnival costumes on- served on the streets tonight compare favorab1y with those worn in years gone by, the present-day style aiding ma terially in the fashioning of striking get ups for those who seek for the unusual
 Following the arrival of King Rex to- morrow morning, an elaborate parade will pass through the main streets or the city, past reviewing stand Tn Irons of the city hall. where it will be Wit messed by city officials, officers of the Jeanne d Arc, the French navys training ship sent here for the carnival, visitins army and navy officers and other mo- tables.
 In an effort to make the city safe TOT visitors, Superintendent of Police Moiohy this morning at l o'clock called every po- liceman in the city on duty with oroers. to lock up every man who gould not give a good account of himself. As q result of this crusade about 120 men were rounded up throughout the day and are being held as suspicious and dangerous characters until the carnival is over.
 Fair weather is predicted for Tuesday and the day will be given over to the enjoyment of the carnival spirit: Masks will be the order of the day and intro auctions will be unnecessary.

NEW STORAGE TANK AT
 MOBILE FOR FUEL or,

The United States shipping board today adopted resolution directing the chairman to proceed immediately to construct on Blakeley Island, Mo- bile harbor, two 55,000 barrel capacity fuel oil storage steel tanks for receipt, storage and redelivery of fuel oil.
 These tanks by virtue of permission of the Secretary of War will occupy a portion of the site donated to the fed eral government by citizens of Ala bama for the establishment of an overseas cargo coal and bunkering station.
 Announcement to the above effect was made tonight by Commissioner Frederick I. Thompson.
 The construction of the great tanks will result in making Mobile of addi- tional value as point of import and export. At the present time, ships With cargoes for Pensacola and Mobile are compelled after delivery to divert their course to New Orleans for oil supplies. Because Mobile lacks oil supplies, it is estimated that many ships which would otherwise touch at that point, are directed to New Or leans
 Alabamians in Congress appraised of the action of the board expressed great satisfaction.

 Bethany was sent up from Dallas county in 1911 to serve a life term for murder following a free-for-all ar gument in which shooting played a prominent part, and which, after the smoke of battle had cleared, revealed that an innocent by-stander had fall en victim to, it was alleged, Henrys cross-eyed firing. The negro has been attached to the capitol force of trus- ties for number of months, and was a favorite with the officials, who were almost as happy as Henry at the news that he had been given a parole,

M 'ADOO BEHIND
 EFFORT ID SECURE
 PARTY MEETING
Democratic Leaders Doubt the Wisdom of Calling Meeting of National Executive
 Committee
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-HeraId
 500 Davidson Building

Washington, February 21.-(Spe- cial Enthusiastic friends of W. G. McAdoo, led by Thomas Love of Texas, are behind the effort to se- cure a meeting of the national com mittee of the democratic party, in the opinion of leading democrats of Congress.
 In the opinion of a few of the more conservative, the demand for the meeting was issued without Knowledge and that were it held, division in the ranks of the party would be inevitable. Those accustomed to speak their real conclusions declared belief that MT. Love and associates are so determin cd to wrest control from men regarded as friendly to Governor Cox, that they would willingly risk permanent disruption in the ranks.
 In the opinion of everyone who ex- pressed himself, it would be unwise were the meeting held. Senator Har- rison of Mississippi unreservedly ex- pressed himself to that effect. It was his opinion that many members had given favorable reply to the request of Love that he be joined in asking for
