senior Barcel6 "-dijo ell sefior Coll--y
esa es toda la causa de la guerra que
Sc me sha hecho''
''Yo afirmo rotundamente-decia el
senior Col1-que ell senior Barcel6, con
su politica, ha planteado ell problema
del gobernador Reilly, en- condolences
tales, que la Administrator Nacional
no puede retirar del pals al Gobefna-
dor, sin que este implique una derro-
ia inferida por Barcel6 al Presidente
de la Nacion, y primero Sc hunden los
Estados Unidos que consentir en- que
tai cosa acontezca. Con mi politica, 81
Sc siguiese, a los ounce dias quedaria
fracasada la pohtica del Gobernador y
volveria el partido umionista resca-
tar las posiciones perdidas''.
Entire las cosas curiosas que lie OF

que 6l estaba extremadamente docu-
mentado para pSobar que Ell no habia

Ell sehor Lastra, antes de abandonar

a fin de que este busque itn perito com
petente que pueda realizar dicha labor.
Ell Sr. Lastra propuso que Sc invita-
ra un periodista Dor cada diario de
San Juan, para que asistiera la ci-
tada reunion.
FL Sr. Alfonso Sc opuso, por entender
que las sesiones de la Comision Eco
monica no eran hearings publicos.
La moci6n del sr. Lastra no fue con-
siderada.
Sc faculto al Presidente de la Co.
mission para que dotara al citado or
ganismo de un ASSESSOR legal, a fin Ge
que este revise todos los proyectos de

MISS D0BBS EXPLAINS WOMEN AND LEADERSHIP TO AXIS CLUB MEMBERS

What you are speaks so loudly cannot hear what you say" said MISS Zoe Dobbs, head of the depart ment of social service at the Ala bama Polytechnic institute at Au- burn, Tuesday afternoon when she lectured to the members of the Axis club on Women and Leadership" at their club house on Eighth avenue.
 Miss Dobbs explained in a most concise manner the essential quali- ties of good leadership, those of great intellectual sincerity, moral earnest ness and an energy of will to regis ter ourselves in others. Men of vis- ion are also great leaders. said Miss Dobbs. Usually when the queen leader passes out the work begins to wane until it gradually passes away.
 Miss Elizabeth LeForge, director of the bureau of child hygiene and public health nursing for the city Of Birmingham, was next introduced and discussed the Sheppard -Towner Dill. Alabama was among the first states to accept this bill, said the speaker and she urged the club mem bers to use their influence in secur- ing the passage of the bill when it comes up In theN state legislature. Miss LeForge's report on infant mor- tality in the city during the years of 1920 to January, 1928, showed a decrease of from 125 per cent to S1.9 per cent. The decrease was the aft ermath of the Baby Week cam paign" staged by the club during 1922. The report, 1t is said, com pares favorably with those of other cities throughout the country. The further report showed that while HOO defective children had been registered in 1920. there was a de- crease of 800 in 1922.
 The Tuesday afternoon meeting was presided over by Mrs. Angus Taylor, while Miss Dobbs was pre- sented under the auspices of the educational department of which Mrs. Leo Oberdorfer is chairman and Miss LeForge, under the auspices of the social welfare department, with Mrs. Coleman Blach, chairman.

DEWS LEAVES SATURDAY TO BEGIN HIS SENTENCE FOR TIDMORE SHOOTING

Thomas C. Dews, former federal prohibition enforcement agent, who was convicted of manslaughter for the killing of Curtis Tidmore, farmer of Oneonta, will leave Saturday to serve a sentence of three years in prison, following the dismissal of his appeal to the supreme court. Au- thority to dismiss the appeal was granted Dews February 3 and his sentence will date from that time.
 The killing of Tidmore, which re- suited in the conviction of Dews in federal court. was the outcome of alleged over-zealous action on the part of prohibition enforcement agents. Tidmore was shot more than a year ago on his way to Bir.ning- accosted by Dews, W. F. Eubanks and W. M Dews, federal officers, and J. E. Thompson, city police of- ficer. According to evidence, the of ficers fired upon Tidmore when the mule team, driven by him, became frightened and attempted to run away. No liquor was found in the wagon driven by the two men.
 Indictments were returned against the four men by the Jefferson coun- ty grand jury and the cases trans ferred to United States district court for trial. Eubanks was acquitted. Thompson and w. M. Dews are awaiting trial.
 Following his conviction Dews ap- pealed his case but later determined to dismiss the appeal and begin his sentence. Authority to do this was granted February 5.
