 Conservatives Lead
By Associated Press

London, November 16-The conser- vative party has returned more mem bers to Parliament than all the other parties combined. so far as returns completed Wednesday night show. The laborites come next and the labor party Is considered due for congratu- lations as It already has a gain of 2s seats. These are all In the congested industrial areas, notably in Glasgow, where the predictions that labor would triumph have been fulfilled and the results of the last election overturned by a flood of laborite votes. the conservatives and George ite liberals being busted in several divisions.
 This was the most striking feature of the returns, but may be balanced by counts to be made today.
 The Asquithian liberals gained sew eral seats, the conservatives six, the Georgites three and the independ- ents two. Two members of the gov ernment were defeated, Col. Leslie Wilson, chief conservative whip, and Colonel Stanley, under-secretary for home affairs.
 Of all the women candidates Lady Astor Is the only one returned thus far.
 The Prime Minister. Andrew Bonar Law, carried the central division of Glasgow by a comfortable margin. while former Premier Asquith had a narrow escape in his Paisley constit- uency, where he just nosed out the lahorite.

' MRS. MACSWINEY AND EIGHT OTHER WOMEN
 ARE FREED BY COURT
By Associated Press

Washington. November ,5.-Tl e cases against Mrs. .ourial l.ac- swiney and eishs other women, members of the Anne -ican Association for Recognition of the Irish 7epub- lie, arrested for picketir ' the British embassy yesterday, were dismissed after a hearing today by United States Commissioner George H. Mc- Donald. because the proof did not measure D. to the intent of the law"
 When arraigned, Mrs. Macswiney, who is the widow of Terrence Mo Swiney, the late lord mayor of Cork. who died in prison in IS 2, after a hunge, strike, and the others, lcaded not guilty to the charge of Violating a federal statute designed to protect foreign representatives in this country from assault or violence. The charges resulted frcm their marching around the British embassy with banners decrying the Engli h Free State" in Ireland, and demand ing the rel ase from an Iri-h Free State prison of Miss Mary MacSwin- ney, sister of t.- late lord mayor, who is now herself on a hunger strike in a Dublin prison.
 The case for the government was based on the contention that the statute was aimed to prevent the "shaming and insulting of foreign representatives home, office, or servants" as tantamount to the "shaming or insulting of the repre- sentative in person." It was also argued that the banners carried by the women before the embassy were insulting to Sir Aukland t1eddes, the British ambass ado even though le may have been absent from the em- bassy at the time.

 Three big scouting planes equip ped with radio instruments shot into the air and circled southward, group ing for contact with the enemy. Low visibility hampered their work, but finally the enemy machines were spotted down the Potomac river be- low Alexander and the word was flashed by radio to Boiling field, while the scouts maneuvered to keep the hostile craft in sight.
 Enemy Is At Hand

They had scarcely disappeared from sight overhead before three heavier fight craft fol- lowed them into the lofty ambush that was being laid for the enemy.

TURKS WILL RESPECT MUDANIA AGREEMENTS, WAR CLOUDS VANISH
Rx A, .c1afed rress

constantinoyle, November 15.--Any immediate danger of rupture be- tween the allies and the Kemalist authorities seems to have been dis sipsted today by the receipt by the allies of a note from the Angora gov ernment declaring that the terms of the Mudana compact will be re- spected by the nationalists and that there will be no inslstence on the withdrawal of allied troops from the zones laid down in the Mudania con- vention.
 The note brought relief to the al- lied authorities and the population of the capital who had seriously doubted the good intentions of the Angora government. It is felt here that the unfavorable reception of the Kemalist demands caused them to adopt a more conciliatory attitude.
 Paris November 15.--Ismet Pasha, head of the Turkish delegation to the Lausanne peace conference, discussed the Near East situation today with Premier Poincare and at the conclu- sion of the interview declared: My three-quarters of an hour conference with NJ. Poincare was most satisfac- tory.
 After a sleepless night and busy day, Ismet received 50 or more cor respondents at his hotel. Tt is not certain that l will go to London" he said; "so far have received no of ficlal invitation to do so. It is eight years since I have been in Paris and l am surprised at the changes after the years in the wilderness with the armies.
 '.If there are any fresh incidents at Constantinople. it won't be our fault. We want peace also. You may be sure that whatever we sign we will not violate"

Alleging that there were members of both the county and city authori- ties who were Standing in" with the bootleggers, and emphatically mak- ing the declaration that if the citi- zens of Birmingham desire to have a God-fearing and law-abiding city and community, they must themselves adhere to the law, Col. T. O. Smith heading the law and order league delivered stirring address to mem bers of the Exchange club at their weekly meeting Wednesday afternoon at the Tutwiler. The league received the unanimous indorsement of the Exchangeites.
 Colonel Smith opened his address by saying that Birmingham cannot have law and order unless the cit izens of the city back to the utmost extent all safety measures on the statutes. Colonel Smith then in a forceful manner brought out few of the achievements of the law and order league since its organization among them being that an extra judge has been procured to aid ir clearing up the congested court dockets and that Solicitor Joseph R Tate had been prevailed upon to ap- point an additional assistant for tho prosecution of criminal cases. These moves will greatly aid in clearing the docket of the 1,s00 criminal cases now on the criminal court dockets and which have never been tried. the speaker declared.
 Turns Up Many Tigers
 Colonel Smith said that since the Law and Order League was organ ized, it had been instrumental in turning up many blind tigers, houses of evil and other similar places that are the hangouts of criminals and where much of the crime committed in the city S planned. At this juno ttl..t the speaker declared that mem bers of his league with United SfstSO- marshals had recently raided approximately 40 houses where liquor was said to be for sale and that the pi oceeds from all the raids had amounted to only one solitary halt pint of whisky. Colonel Smith de- clafed that some one, who was evil a6ently in close touch with those prominent in the enforcement of the law had tipped off" the bootleggers so that when the officers arrived, the

 Is Theory
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD


 Roy Dickerson. Alabama's noted convict. was still at liberty wednes- day and the state convict department was making an invest gation of every theory in the hope that the methods used by Diekerson in effecting his escape Tuesday might be established. William F. Feagin. state warden general, personally Is in charge of the inquiry which was renewed early Wednesday morning. Julius Wolf, chief clerk of the convict department, was working on the case with the warden general.
 State officials do not believe Dick erson could have escaped froms Kilby prison without the help of some one. The general belief here is that he or road cart which was being used in transporting material into the place
 The fact has been we'll established that the convict was employed in handling Of steel for the prison cot ton mill at f0:16 o'clock Tuesday morning. Another fact also has been established that his escape did not become known until the prisoners checked one short during the coun. at lunch time When the check did not tally with the number on the job, an investigation developed that Dick kerson was the missing convict.
 Resistance Expected.
 The movement to find Dickerson will be resisted by countless persons who are known by law enforcement officers to be in collusion. The con vict department believes that many of his former ccnfederates are living in Montgomery and other points in Alabama. 1t was boast of Dicker- son that he had warned his confeder- ates within 30 minutes after he was surprised and captured In Birming- ham early this year and that this warning enabled them to escape. Dickerson also told officers at the state prison that his escape from the jail at Los Angeles, Cal, when he was arrested on charge of plan ming the robbery of the Phoenix Girard bank cost him $1o,o0o. Governor Kilby will take no action regarding the escape until the war den general has completed the report of the investigation. The governor is anxious to know how Dickerson ob- tained his liberty from under the very eyes of guards who stood at each opening, guards who stood on the walls of the prison and guards who were charged with the respon- sibility of watching the squad to which Dickerson was assigned. Description Given notice describing Dickerson went from the convict department to prisons, sheriffs and police officers throughout the nation today. His description follows:

Utilities Leader in Detroit Warns Against Possible Control of Property by
 Wall Street

Detroit. November 15.-tSpecial,)- )--- That the disposal of Muscle Shoals at the great war-built hydro-eIectric power development of the Tennessee river, In northern Alabama to Henry Ford Is but matter of time, and not long time either, was the an- nouncement made today by A. c. Patterson, president of the Alabama public service commi sson. before the national convention of railway and utilities commissioners here to- day.
 Whenever Muscle Shoals is com pleted, some of the vast amount of power developed there will be used for public utilities and in that way will come under the direct regula ton of the commission which Mir. Patterson heads.
 VIII Lease shoals Never before have we been SC certain that Congress will lease Muscle Shoals 10 Mir. Ford as we are today said Mir. Patterson
 Throughout the months that Con- gress has been in recess, the work of awakening the west, middle west and north to the importance of Muscle Shoals to the country has been going on steadily. The dis posa of Muscle Shoals is not local matter, it's a matter of supreme na- tlonal import, and the thousands of letters that are now daily pouring in on representatives and senators ie proof that the country is alive to that fact.
 Muscle Shoals will go to MT. Ford because no other party in the coun . try has made. nor can make, an offer that even compares with MT Ford's. His nearest competitor is the Ala bama Power company. The Alabama Power company is controlled by east ern capitalists, commonly known as Wall street Whoever gets Muscle Shoals wilt to an almost absolute de- gree, control industries of the future over great part of the south.
 south Trusts Ford
 "The south will never consent to have the destiny of It's industries handed over to Wall street control. The south trusts MT. Ford because, while 1t recognizes that he is not in business for his health, he does busi- ness on a constructive basis; it will trust it's future and Muscle Shoals in his hands.
 Just to give you an idea of what Mir. Ford at Muscle Shoals will mean to the south. our commission already has had intimations that if MT. Ford completes and operates Muscle Shoals. the Louisville and Nashville railroad. getting it's power from the shoals, will electrify it's line from Birmine . ham to Montgomery-one of the most important trunk lines of the south.'
