In Memorable Senatorial Election Underwood Major ity Over Musgrove May Have Been Aided by

Alabamians who live in Washing ton and get their names frequently in Alabama newspapers are relative ly small section of the Washington Alabama colony. This statement is instantly verified by the fact that Alabamians in Washington of voting age number 2,000, upward.
 In the last senatorial election in Alabama, Washington, taking advan- tage of the opportunity the law per- mits of long distance voting, dropped approximately 1000 ballots into the boxes provided in the various cen- ters.
 increa sing as Alabamians here, es- rpscially, the women. are taking ad- vnntage of whatever opportunity presents itself to register and other wise qualify.
 The Alabama law has revived local interest in Alabama politics.. And it has already happened that the Washington vote has proved effec- tive. It may happen in some future close result that the Washington vote will tell the story.
 In the last senatorial contest, there was organized here club having for it's purpose the reelection of Senator Oscar W. Underwood, who was op- posed by the late Judge $. D. Weak Icy and Col. l.. B. Musgrove. Nearly all local Alabamians of voting age were rounded up and initiated, and II was estimated that the vote cast by these members approXimated 1.000.
 Senator Underwood defeated Col onel Musgrove by about 10000 votes, and his majority over both Colonel Musgrove and Judge weakley was about 1000 votes.. It is possible that that majority over both competitors resulted from the long distance vot- Majority Hold Positions.
 The number of so-called Listin- suished Alabamians in Washington is limited to those who hold offices of importance. They are senators and representatives, judges and commis- siopers. The great bulk of the col oEy, however, are "ordinary" people. government in the various depart ,nents.
 Some of these people are well known at home. There is Col. A. R. Erindley. who formerly practiced law in Gadsden. At the beginning of the war he entered an officer training camp. was graduated with the rank of lieutenant, was soon promoted to a lieutenant colonelcy, and served as a judge advocate general in various parts of the United States and in France.

 Represented Scandinavia.
 Maj. John Elmore, who came to Washington from Montgomery at the beginning of the war and served afterward in France, is now practic- ing law here. Some time ago. he represented an organization in Scan dinavia which sued for the recovery of a certain church propery located
 in the United States which had been seized by the alien property custo- dian.
 Major Fillmore raised the point that no government had a right to pro- ceed against a church as church was not the property of 1Aan, but Of God. The point was so pat that the government not only recognized its immediate application and gave a verdict in behalf of Major Elmore's clients, but Harry M. Daugherty, at- torney general, appropriated 1t for his own. In a statement issued to the press at the time, he declared that he had agreed that verdict be given in favor of the Scandinavian organization because Q church was Gods property and not mans. He made no mention of Major Elmore.
 The former resident of Montgom- cry, about IS months ago, surprised his friends by leading to the altar a very beautiful girl who then was scarcely 20 years Of age. He has an heir now to pluck at his gray hair.
 This bureau some days ago re- ported the plan of the local chapter of Confederate veterans to visit Ala bama while en route to and returning from New Orleans, where the 1923 convention of veterans will be held in April.
 Some years ago, at the suggestion of Frank Conway. who formerly lived in Mobile, the local chapter of Sons of Veterans (of which organization Conway is now commander agreed to escort and pay the expenses of the Washington veterans who desired to attend subsequent reunions. The party this year will be escorted by Commander Conway in person. They will stop in Montgomery and Gov. W. w. Brandon. standing on the star which marks the spot where Jeffer- son Davis stood when he took the oath as President of the Confeder- aey, will greet the visitors and no doubt thrill them by that oratory which is his fame-that oratory which acquires even greater power when treating the glory of the south on the battlefield.
 FollLwing the reunion, Commander Conway will lead his party to Fort Morgan. near Mobile and on the gulf Will spend several days.

PROPOSES ! CREATION
 SUPER-SENATE OF 25
Vanderlip Would Have Body
 Handle Foreign Affairs

'. PASADENA, Cal, March 24. The creation of 8 "supersenate" to be composed of 241 members, elected at large, for terms of at least ten years to handle Americas foreign relations problems, was advocated by Frank A. Vanderlip. noted financier and trav- eler before the Cauldron club here
 "I would suggest" Vanderlip said that the state department be under this commission and the treaty mak ing powers delegated to it by con stitutional amendment. We need a fundamental change of government.
 Europe needs our counsel, she needs our experience, she needs our moral help and I believe the best way to give Europe help is through the door of the league of nations.
 Tn the creation of such comms- cion, with five members elected at large every two years. we would soon have a body of experts who could handle these problems intelligently instead of leaving them to men who know little or nothing of foreign af- fairs.
 "There is great danger in accept ing her responsibilities but greater ones in not accepting them. We have become 8 stacker nation in the affairs of the world and we are not proud of anyone that stays home and says that we haven't any moral influence to spare. The greatest group of op- portunities that ever lay at the feet of nation is awaiting us, but we have failed to grasp them because we are without adequate leadership

Vast Plans For Improvement Of Paris VIII Be Reuiued
 After Lying Hidden Years

PARIS, March 24.-(By Associated Press.)-Execution of the vast plan for the improvement and beautifica- ton of Paris which was drawn up and partly put into effect by Baron Haussmann under the second empire has Just been resumed after sus- pension of 66 years. The work now taken up is the extension to the grand Boulevards of the Boulevard haussmann, which now brings up short in front of the American Chamber of Commerce in the Rue Taithout and just behind the Amer ican consulate.
 Demolition of several hundred mill lion francs worth of buildings in the very center of Paris is involved and it will require number of years to eo omplete the work.
 FEAR FLOODS.
 Since the inundation of 1910, which nearly floated Paris off the map each spell of moderately damp weather has caused floods of print CTS ink in volume almost as great as that of the Seine. Indeed the plans and reports on plans for making Paris safe from the waters fill 90 ouarto pages.
 One of the latest schemes is to create lakes in the valleys of the Seine and Marne above Paris with a a.d total capacity of more than 800, 000,000.0 gallons. These would hold the bulk of the flood water and keep down the level of the stream passing through Paris. The water thus stored would be turned into the Seine during the low summer months and in addition furnish hy draulic power and supplement the rcty's water supply The cost is esti- mated at 1.700,000.000 francs.
 MCCORMICK TRIUMPHS.
 John Mccormick, American tenor, scored what he considers his great est success in the first production at Monte Carlo of the new opera "A Gogol Tale" The opera, which was left unfinished by the Russian com poser Moussorgsky, was finished and or orchestrated by Tcherepnine, who conducted the premiere. It is based on a story by Nickolai Vassilevich (GogoD entitled the Fair at soro- clinsk." The liberetto was written by Moussorgsky.
 The premiere is described as being the most select of the Monte Carlo season, with the prince and princess of Monaco among the audience. Mr. role.
