OIL PROPERTY BOUGHT
 BEFORE MAY l, 1917,I C A N N or BE SEIZED
By Associated Press

Mexico City. September 27.-Prop- erty acquired by oil corporations prior to May 1, 1917, cannot be construed as coming within the provisions ot article 2I of the Mexican constitu- tion which nationalizes petroleum de- posits. This is the view of several legal authorities who last night ex- amined the formal decision in the Texas company Amparo case, which was handed down last night by the Mexican supreme court. Members of the court admitted that paragraph of article 27 contained "perplexing problems" but they concurred in the decision that this article could not impair titles to property perfected be- fore the constitution went into eff feet.
 George T. Summerln, American charge daffaires in this city, ob- tained copy of the decision last night. He will forward it insme- diately to the state department in Washington, but refused during the evening to comment on the courts ac- tion.
 The document was very lengthy, containing more than 5000 words.

Laurence Sends Adult Students
 to Six Schools

Moulton, September 27.-tSpecial) Lawrence county has sent some of her adult citizens to six adult schools in the summer just closing, held for approximately three and one-hat weeks during August with daily ses- sions of an average of two and one half hours each at six points, at Col lege Grove, Midway, Caddo and Oak Grove near Caddo, Lindsay Hall and Roden Seven teachers did the work. In all 112 men and boys enrolled, and 55 women, a total of 167. There was an average attendance of 92. The oldest person enrolled was "A; the youngest IS. The oldest illiterate was 6t years-of age.
 The requirements for certificates of attendance in the schools were an attendance in actual class work or 27 hours The students were divided into three classes, beginners, that is those who were entirely illiterate; intermediate those who could read and write some but poorly; and, ad- vanced, those who had really attend ed school enough to make several grades but were interested in doing more studying. To the beginners "A certificates were awarded, to the in termediate 23, and to the advanced class, 27. total of 74. Thirty illit- crates were taught to read and write.
 A 30-dollar library was promised to the school showing the best en- rollment, per centage of attendance of those enrolled, persons reached, daily attendance. number of Hitter ates taught, certificates awarded, etc. It appears that in some points the greatest good was accomplished at Lindsay Hall. the mountain school but so close to 1t in every respect is Oak Grove near the Caddo school that 1t has been decided if possible, to give to each school a library.
 These schools were made possible through the interest of Miss Sarah F. Luther, director of exceptional ed ucation who secured from the Alaba- ma Federation of Women's clubs a donation of s200, and from the fund set aside by the state for that pur- pose $347.5O on condition that rne county board of education give S100, in all total of s647.50 for the work. To those who are acquainted with the work done it is evident that the county board has not expended more wisely any S100 of its funds this year. Already numerous calls have been made for adult schools in va rious points in the summer of 1922 and it is to be hoped that the board will feel justified in thus using a small Amount

LEWIS LEADS IN
 MINE WORK VOTE Majority Favors Resumption of Work In Kansas Mines.
 Complete Poll Today
By Associated Press

Indianapolis, September 27-Final decision whether striking coal min CTS at two Kansas mines should be ordered back to work was postponed until tomorrow by the convention of the United Mine Workers of America ad1ourning late today with approxi- mately three-fourths of the vote complete. The incomplete unofficial figures gave a majority of 230 in favor of ordering the resumption of work.
 The roll call vote which began work today, marked showdown be- tween the administration forces led by Alexander Howat, president of the Kansas district and the sup porters of the administration policy of President John L. Lewis and other officials. The officers had asked the convention to direct Howat to oroer the strikers back to work and the vote was on this question
 When the voting was stopped the administration recommendation for resumption of work was favored, l. 747 to 1,517 and offifers of the union seemed confident that the 300 more votes necessary for & majority would be obtained easily before com pletion of the roll call. Both West Virginia districts numbers IT and az, which in caucus earlier in the week had voted to support the ad- ministration. did not vote today and their combined strength was i25 votes. Anti administration leaders declined to forecast the outcome.
 Howats strongholds came to his support today, failing to overcome the big early lead piled up for the administration. In the forenoon dele gates from the Pennsylvania dis tricts gave a two to one lead in favor of the resumption of work order, and this advantage was in- creased to four to one in the early afternoon after two-fifths of the vote had been boiled.
 Washington was the first state to swing to Howat giving IS, to 27 votes in opposition to the back-to- work order. Its vote was followed by that of the Indiana district, ex- elusively of the Brazil block field returning a surprise by voting 11S to S4 for Howat. The anti admins votes behind when the big Illinois delegation began voting It's stand by Howat, however, cut down the lead to 40 votes, with little more than two thirds of the vote complete. The Illinois vote was S7o against the or der and 55 in favor of it. After Iowa delegates had increased the admins tration's lead by 70 votes the Kan sas delegation, representing Howat's district, split but the majority, 72 to 24, stood by Howat in opposition to the work order. Voting stopped for the night after Colorado and Mary land delegations voted almost solidly for the work order.
