Quite a great deal of excitement was caused Saturday night about 10:30 o'clock in a local barber shop when Dick Tate. young white man about 25 years old, 1t Is alleged, at tempted to commit suicide by shoot ing himself with a pistol.
 According to the statement made by Tate at the Ensley police station, he, made up his mind to kill himself just as he sat down in the barber chair, and pulled out his gun, and just as he pulled the trigger the barber let the back of the chair down. which, according to his own statement, is what saved his life. With the exception of a few powder burns on his right side he was un- hurt.
 He was carried to the police sta tion immediately following the shoct- ing. and when asked the reason why he attempted to shoot himself his only explanation was that if anyone was in the trouble he was in they also would try to kill themselves. He was detained at the police static n for several hours and was later al- lowed to go home after he had been quieted down.

SAYS FORD WILL RUN

The new senator from Michigan, James Couzens, tells Washington correspondents that everybody in Detroit thinks Henry Ford will be Fl residential candidate in 1924" and then replying to rapid questions, con tinues. but nobody knows whether he will try to head the democratic or republican ticket, or whether he will fare forth independent of both big organizations"
 Washington had previously heard rlmors to the same effect
 The new senator is an exceedingly interesting man He is another lit tie bit of dynamite dropped into Washington, if reports be true.
 They call me a socialist" he said, but l am not. I am in favor of doing much for everybody but not at the expense of the other fellow. If that describes a socialist, I am one, but I don't think it does.
 T am a republican. I hope I am progressive republican. But I won't progress as far as some. And I won't sit as pat as others.
 The idea is that Couzens is inde- pendent. He was independent as mayor of Detroit. He is what is termed a self-made man. In 1903, he dueed S3.000 and backed Henry Ford. When he disposed of his interest in the Ford plants to Ford, the Detroit manufacturer wrote him check for ss3,000,000.

EXPECT PRESIDENT T0 RAP VIOLATION IF VOLSTEAD ACT
Congress Will Be Told of Alarming" Situation Pro- hibitionistS Want Only
 "Dry" Judges
WASHINGTON BUREAUl
 THE AGE-HERALD ! Washington. D. O.. Dec. 3

It is learned unofficiafly that President Harding, in addressing Con- gross this week, will dwell at length on an alarming" situation resulting from widespread violation" of the Volstead act
 It Is not regarded as probable, however, that the President will make recommendations, but will con- tent himself with repeating his statement of last week that the prohibition law. along with all others must be respected.
 With the probability of the exec utive taking up the liquor question. with the instruction of the Attor- ney General to all district attorneys that prosecutions must be acceler- ated. with the promised appointment of 23 additional United States judges to clear congested docket of 20.000 prohibition cases. and with doubt as to the action of another Congress regarding prohibition, John Barley corn is again to the fore.
 Judges Blamed
 For the situation that Is described as unfortunate, the worlds anti alcoholic convention, which met at Toronto, held federal judges and dis trict attorneys responsible. President Harding was urged to appoint only men who were originally prohiition- ists. The convention issued a for nal statement, which was subse- quently submitted to the President, in which 1t was charged that some of those applying for new federal judgeships were members of the as- sociation against the prohibition amendment.
 The Toronto convention also recom- mended putting enforcement agents under civil service, thus removing them from political influence. Many senators. it was declared, had in sisted upon the appointment of agents either inefficient or corrupt. The treasury department was crit icised for failing to uphold the pro hibition unit in revoking permits, and for construing the law and promul- gating regulations which have made it's enforcement more difficult, ac- cording to the allegations.
 Wayne B. Wheeler. before start ing his Journey south issued a state ment in which he said: The most hopeful thing connected with the present situation is that public of ficials and the people are at last aroused to the menace of lawless- ness"
 Back Laws in Force
 Capt W. H. Slaton executive head of the Association Against the Pro- hibition Amendment, In a formal statement declares the insistence of the President that the prohibition law be observed. is most commend able.
 There should be no cause for sur prise in our unqualified indorse- ment of his stand the statement says, flor it represents most defi- nitely the precise position our en- tire membership has taken-namely respect for and submission to all laws so long as they remain on the statute books"
 Slaton insists that the next Con- gress will make changes In the law so that wines and beer may be sold. According to most careful estimates. the vets will make gain in the new Congress of 79. These gains to- gether with the liberal membership which will hold over will make the so-called wet strength 2O4.55

A NEW FAMILY COMES
TO TOWN WITH EDGAR

A whole new family is coming to

Edgar is going to be one of the most
talked about boys in the United
States. Edgar appears in a series of
twelve Booth Harrington comedies,
THE Adventures and Emotions of
Edgar Pomeroy," which the Goldwyn
Pictures Corporation is now produc-
ing under the direction of E. Mason
Hopper.
The star who plays Edgar is John
ny Jones, selected from thousands of
applicants from all over the United
States. A great future is in store
for him since Booth Harrington is the
greater creator of live American boys
since Mark Twain.
In the first Harrington release, Ed
gar dreams that he is president of the
United States and you see him riding
through the great rooms of the White
House on Shetland pony and order
ing the senators to get him ice cream
cones.

Edgar's family consists of his
mother, a sweet. gentle woman-but
she does make Edgar wear too many
clothes; his father, who is lawyer,
his sister, Betty, who is pretty, { but
Edgar thinks she is a terrible firt)
and his brother, Charlie, who is a
regular demon. Then there is tie
colored cook, Iris; Edgar's teachers,
and the minister and whole town
