Mrs. Elizabeth Gale Poindexter, wife
OF Senator Poindexter. stirred I'D a
| sensation through a letter written to
| the Spokesman-Review some months
ago. II is doubtful if the lady had any
such object in view when she turned
her pen TO depicting some of the
inside life OF the national capital. but
she suddenly awoke to fame. for it
appears that she touched some of the
politicians and society people on the
raw. the eastern press, always keen
eyed for sensation, reprinted the
story and tempest ragged for time at
washington. By the simple act of
COSBY news letter Mrs. Poindexter
has come into the lime light and a
heretofore unknown contributor IN
the press at once was besieged for
more" and in response the lady is
now writing series of syndicated let
tiers, the first appearing in the Spokes
man-Review of Sunday. Strange what
freaks OF fortune turns water on ones
wheel, for through her initial commu-
nication. to all appearances innocent
enough to the casual reader. Mrs
PolndeXter has become a prominep;
hight among the literatti and COM
mands big money for the services of
her pen.

At the close of congress on the 4th
or March Uncle Joe Cannon left
Washington for his home at Danville,
Ills, with the avowed purpose of re-
firing from politics after having serv-
ed in congress for 80 years. Joe Can
non is one of the outstanding figures
in American political life. While
speaker of the house that body raised
in revolt against his rulings and made
war on "Cannonism," shearing the
speakership of much of its old power
Yet during his long service never has
there been breathed a word against
the honor and integrity of Joe Can
non, and he retires to private life
with the love and respect of every
man who ever sat in congress with
aim. His has been a life of public
service, and although old. very old,
In years he bears his age bravely and
seems good for some years to come.

SUBSIDIZED" PRESS IS AGAIN TARGET FOR
 ALABAMIAN'S ATTACK

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Seaator Heflin, democrat. Alabama, made an other attack in the Senate today on the Subsidized portion of the Ameri- can press" and promised to read into the record in the near future "the names of newspapers in the United States which are influenced by foreign power.
 T am not critieizing that part of the press that is American whole heartedly." said the Alabama sena- tor, who was speaking on the British debt bill. T am crlticizing that part of the press which is rotten. which you can buy as you can buy sheep in the market place. The subsidized portion of the press that infests this capital today is a constant danger and menace to the republic.
 Senator Heflin declared he wanted the American people to know who would get the benefit from any all deviation of the British debt and added;
 q do not propose that the bond sharks shall get it. l do not pro- pose that the subsidized newspapers who have sold out and belong soul and body to the corrupt and crooked interests shall get it. I have no doubt they will. If this settlement goes through several of them will get theirs. They will get a nice lit tie hand out on the side"

SACRAMENTO. Cal.

 He declared the world could be organized to effect permanent peace.
 Instead of directing criticism to- ward what has or what has not been done, is it not about time for men to throw aside this spirit of hate, of bitterness and of partisanship, and for Gods sake do somethng?" he asked
 They say that world peace s im- possible because il has never cen" he continued "T say 1t is possible to organize the world---I don't care now and I'm not offering any spe- ciffc method-apd by the proper kind of gco- operation to effect lasting peace"

DISTRACTIONS TO MUSCLE SHOALS
 BID VOTE INFECTED


 In summoning committee chair men to conference with the rules committee Monday, Chairman Campbell was understood to have advised them to present only such Legislative matters rom their com nittees as would be the least con troyersial in character.
 Acting Chairman Mckenzie of the military committee, which re- ported out the Muscle Shoals bill, declared today he still was insis- tent on rule to give the meas ure a privileged status.
 Chairman Campbell of the rules committee said today that Muscle Shoals was not included in the pro gram because it was not in parli- amentary situation to be consid- cred. He added that in any event House action would be a loss of time because there was no pros pect of Senate vote on the legis- lation.

BRANDON PLANS TOHSH|P AID MEASURE INSPECT STUDENT VI |NS SKIRM|SH ARMY AT AUBURN ON SENATE FLOOR
Bill Restored to Former Place of Unfinished Business. Test Vote May Come
 Today


 WASHINGTON, Feb. l6.-The ad- ministration shipping bill was re- stored tonight to it's former place as the unfinished business of the Sem ate, after having been laid aside since early in the week to allow con sideration of the British debt set tlement legislation.
 The restoration of the bill to it's place of advantage was on motion of Senator Jones, republican, Washing ton, after champions of the measure had demonstrated their superior strength by voting down, $ to 30. a motion by Senator Robinson. dem ocrat Arkansas, to adjourn.
 The vote on the adjournment ques- ten was not regarded as an ac- curate test of the strength of the forces supporting and opposing the ship bill inasmuch as number Of senators on both sides were absent.
 Senator Jones. immediately after the British settlement bill was passed. moved that the shipping bill be made the unfinished business the place it occupied from December II, until Monday when its support CTS were forced to lay it aside for the British debt bill Senator Robin son inquired if it was the disposition of Senator Jones to obtain action on his motion and when the Washing ton senator replied in the affirmative, Senator Robinson countered with d move to adjourn. After this motion had been defeated and after Senator Jones had explained he did not intend to proceed tonight with consideration nf DAhf ..l1o doned his fight and the Jones mo- ton was adopted without opposition.
 Test to Come Today
 Opponents of the shipping measure are expected when the Senate meets tomorrow to counter with d proposal to lay it aside again in farvor of the Capper truth -in- fabrics bill and it was considered possible that a test vote on the merchant marine legis- latlon might result.
 Although the future of the bill in the Senate has not been clearly in- dicated it was said at the White House today that President Harding would not call special session tf Congress to consider the national merchant marine situation in the event the shipping bill would fail ot passage,
 MT. Harding was said to feel that the necessity for action looking to a solution of the shipping problem lad been clearly demonstrat ted and to have decided that if the shipping bill is not enacted the government will proceed al once to take such steps as will diminish in a very great degree the present losses of the govern ment's fleet.
 Detailed reports on the operation of shipping board vessels showing nei losses on individual voyages running as high as sl00,000 have been studied by the President and his advisers. 1t was said. and the consensus of opin- ion was that the losses would not be wiped out until the necessary eco monies which would follow the re- turn of the shipping to private own e-ship.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 16. A legislative program for the re- mainder of this session of Con gress, which does not contemplate action on Henry Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals, is being worked out by republican leaders of the House.
 In line with the majority pro- gram, House consideration of the Cape Cod canal bill, scheduled for today, was put over to permit the leaders to confer as to what bills are to be brought out between now and March 4.
 The change in the order of House procedure was made after it had been indicated that advocates of early action on the Ford offer were planning to attempt to amend the rule giving the Cape Cod bill right of way on the floor so as to give similar status 70 the Mus cle Shoals bill.
