VISITS SENATOR PEPPER

Tho thirty three United States sen =
.,oriol elections this fall will result in
Mo defeat of ut least ten Democratic
candidates for reelection, and the ma :
,Or,tv in the Upper House of Congress
.;,l he increased by that number. This
,rediction was made today Of Senator
Wodill Mccormick. of Illinois. at the
home of Senator Pepper. near Devon.
The National Republican Senatorial
rommittee. Of which Senator McCor-
niek is chairman, would be in the full
swing of the campaign, which will as
mine a national aspect, in another
month, the Senator said.
Senator McCormick's visit was not
oacial, and much of the time was spent
IN a lively discussion with Senator
prpper on the relative merits of Jersey
and Holstcin cattle. Senator Pepper
has fine herd of Jerseys. and Senator
Mccormick has n herd of Holsteins., q,
which he believes to be equally fine.
Return to Washington Today
Senator Mccormick will return to
Washington today with Senator Pen
per. He came to Senator Peppers home
Saturday night.
"The Senatorial Committee is pre-
paring to take to the field" he said.
1.-THE Maine election on September II
will be its first effort, and we are conf
dent of the return of Senator Hale. the
Republican incumbent.
From that time forward until the
November elections, Immediately after
The primaries and conventions, some of
which do not take place for several
weeks yet. the committee will be at
work in all parts of the country.
"Thc campaign that is under way Is
IN reality national in it's aspect, thus
sHOrdng an unusual political spectacle

"Sincc Warren Harding took Office
the Republicans have written a SUBJ

"Thc country has hardly understood
the magnitude of the task that was be-

WORK OF POLICE MATRON
Ma Cooper Says More Intoxicated Girls Are Brought Into
Central Station Than in OldTin,e "Wet" Days

Silver. haired. and with eyes that
shine with kindness and sympathy,
Mrs. Margaret Cooper, for twenty FIVE
years the matron at Central Station,
City Hall. is known to all around the
hall as "Ma" Cooper.
Hundreds, yes. even thousands, Of
girls and women have poured forth their
troubles to her, and despite her long
years of service. "Ma" Cooper has not
become hardened" and she has a fresh
interest for each girl who is sent to her.
Il do not have nearly so many girls
sent to me now as I once did," she
says: From 225 to 25O a month the
number has gone down to less than n
hundred. The majority of my cases now
are. larceny, particularly shoplifting.
Girls want to primp and look pretty
because men like prettily- dressed girls
and with not enough money to buy the
thing, they, want, they will take to
shoplifting."
Mrs. Cooper was asked IL the girls
showed remorse when they were caught.
''Somc Of the girls do. of course,
and In some cases it Is genuine, but in
otnerS they ngurc that IT they weep
and wall they will be used less harshly.
Some women have their children with
them. thinking. perhaps. they will get
of easier.
"The hardest thing have TO do is
to take children away from their
mothers. Last week I had woman
with a little boy and girl, and, oh,
how she did cling to them! No matter
how down and out woman may be, she
almost always has the true mother love
for her children.
81 had a girl in here last week for
shoplifting. She had been searched at
the store. and I searched her, but got
thinking it over and had an idea
should search her again. She's been
sent here several times before. OF
course. she told me was silly to bother,
but Just the same / noticed she held her

she was holding a little package Of
drugs. Her husband had given her
money for clothes, but she bought drugs
and tried shoplifting to hide the fact
that she had misuscd the money.
"I get n lot of drunken girls" con-
tinued the matron. "far more than we
used to have. Some won't eat if they
are kept here for any length of time.
They pace the floor, sit down on the
chair, get up again. walk around some
more. and keep that up until exhausted.
"Some girls give as an excuse for
their wrongdoings the homes in which
they live, but lots of times l do not
believe it, because they come from good
homes. Again, it's force Of circum
stances. but in a good many cases I'm
inclined to believe it is just pure
deviltry.'

Cunningham has been positively
identified by Miss Turner as the black
who weylaid her in a strip of
woods near her residence and at
tempted the attack on her.
Realizing the urgency of lodging
the negro In safe quarters. the ar
resting officers rushed Cunningham
to Birmingham, in the face of gang
of about six men, who had hurriedly
armed themselves, prepatory, it is be-
lieved, to taking the negro away from
mis- captors and dealing him violence.
The officers stated that they made
the trip to Birmingham in few
minutes, the journey being made in
safety. and without their being fol-
lowed.
Cunningham was first taken in
charge by ]. w. Stephenson. superin-
tendent of Lovett's Brick yard, on
a charge of having a pistol in his
possession. Cunningham was bro ught
to Irondale by Stephenson, and was
there turned over to Hulgan. Hulgan
said that the description given by the
girl fitted his captive TO such an ex-
tent that he took the prisoner be-
fore the girl, where he was positively
identified as her would-be assailant.
Miss Turner alleges that she was
returning tG her residence from
grocery store in Irondale, when she
was met by the negro. She declared,
officers said, that the negro reached
out and grabbed her by the hand
as she passed him and asked her
to kiss him. She said that the black
drew her towards him, but she
fought herself free from his grasp
and ran away. He did not follow
her, she said.
Cunningham denies the allegation,
claiming that he was at work in the
brick yard throughout Thursday
This statement has not been corrobo-
rated, officers said last night. He
is charged with carrying weapon
and an attempted criminal assault.

cial 1.-The Muscle Shoals, Birming-
ham and Pensacola railroad will
make a reduction of 10 per cent in

tween all stations on its line and Mo-
bile. This information was conveyed

cola.
