MAIL REFERENDUM 0N COMMITTEES
 ACTION PLANNED
Chairman Webb Desires An other Vote on Provision Separating Positions on
 High Courts
By FRED H. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau The Age-Herald, 221-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, January 24. (Spe- cial.)-Because of the uncertainty of the validity of the action of the state democratic executive committee in separating the positions on the su- preme court, court of appeals and pu )- lie service commission, James H. Webb, chairman of the committee, has submitted the question again to the committeeman by referendum.
 Chairman Webb, on long distance telephone late Tuesday, advised Ira Champion, secretary, that the letter was mailed to members of the com mittee during the day. The resolu- tions of the committee required each candidate for the supreme court, coure of appeals and public service com mission to designate the position he desires. Many attorneys are of the opinion that this provision is in con flict with the primary election law of 1915.
 Several attorneys who are members of the committee have expressed the opinion that the action was legal, but the opinion of other attorneys and laymen against the validity of the action is so general Chairman Webb desired to obtain another vote of the committee

STATE CLOSES IN SECOND TRIAL OF
 FATTY ARBUCKLE
Reserves Right to Examine Witnesses in Impeachment of Testimony Given by
 Fey Provost
By Associated Press

San Francisco, January 24.-The prosecution closed today in the second trial of manslaughter charge against Roscoe c. Arbuckle, reserv- ing the right to examine witnesses in impeachment of one of its prin- cpal witnesses. Fey Provost, show girl
 The prosecution charges that Miss Provost made statements in her tes- timony which conflicted with testi- mony previously taken from -ner un- der oath.
 Adolph Juel, finger print expert o! the San Francisco police department, and Milton Carlson, Los Angeles fin ger print expert, were called by the defense in an attempt to refute evil dence offered by E. O. Heinrich, d similar expert of Berkeley, Cal.
 Heinrich testified that finger prints found on a door of Arbuckle's room in the Hotel St. Francis were those whose death was made the basis oi
 
 Can Be Forged
 Calson testified that finger prints can be forged beyond the possibility of detection by a layman.
 He said that the prints on the door did not compare with those of Ar buckle and Miss Rappe.
 Juel testified that he could find no points of positive comparison between the police finger prints of Arbuckle and Miss Rappe and those on a door,"
 The prosecution contends that Jthe finger prints were made by Arbuckle and Miss Rappe while she was try ing to escape from tn room on thu occasion of party during which he is alleged to have fatally injured her.
 Under cross examination, Juel said:
 T will not say that the prints on the door are not those of Arbuckle and Miss Rappe." He said also that the prints appeared to be those of a man and a woman.

"MIsS LULU BETIv' AT GALAX
 IS slJPER-PHOTO-D

What is there about a fwretcheu home condition and a meek and timid soul caught in the tolls of the com monplace as was Miss Lulu Bett in the picture of that name at the Galax, that holds people to spellbound at tention. Let all picture fans feel grateful to the Galax for one of the most arresting picture dramas yet thrown across the silver sheet, grat-' itude that is being evinced by the big crowds who are Hooking to that house to see this masterpiece among domestic or home situation plays, this compelling Miss Lulu Bett."
 This is the story of an extraordi- nary girl. Extraordinary people take extraordinary happenings sometimes to get them out of routine, and so not until extraordinary things happen does Miss Lulu Bett get out of her hum drum, drudging condition. The story makes t evident that only this thing that happened brought on the rest of the story which mi -,ht easily never have been if-well. If Lulu had not been disgraced In the hard little town, which, strange to say, was never as hard after Lulu became dis graced.
 Milton sims plays the school teach CT with wonderful sympathy and emil tion for poor, oppressed Lulu. Lois Wilson has never been more born to q role. She is just what the public is going to expect Lulu to be, with

NEW BARGE LINE
 RATES RECEIVED
Give Mobile Advantage Over New Orleans in Shipments
 to Southeast

Mobile, January 24.-(special.)- The new barge line rates betweeen Mobile and Mississippi, Georgia and Tennessee points, carrying differ ential under the charges from New Orleans. have been received in Mo- bile from New orleans. where they were issued by the Mississippi War rior system. The rates were puU- lished after many complaints on the part of Mobile shippers, who charged that this city was being discrimi- rated against in favor of New Or leans. The Crescent City has had the barge line rates for several months. and has been able to ship commodities past Mobiles doors to the southeast cheaper than from Mo- bile to those points.
 The rates just published wipe out this disadvantage to Mobile and give this city lower rates than New Or leans, to which she is entitled on ac- count of being nearer the southeast, The rates on shipments within the state via the barge line will become effective February 3 and the inter state rates February 22.
