 Representative R. L. Glenn of Lau- derdale offered a resolution similar to Senator Duncan'sfi in the house of representatives Friday and 1t was referred to the committee on rules. An effort will be made to have the resolution reported favorably by the committee and adopted by the house in order that 1t may pc sent to the senate with a statement regarding the significance of the move in so far as Muscle Shoals is concerned.
 Alabama democrats who are in- terested in the resolution argue that it would be better to have southern republican in the cabinet than re- publican of another state who may not have such an acute understand ing of the situation In the south, especially with regard to the develop ment of Muscle Shoals.

 Whispers indicating that the Ala bama legislature may have forgotten Muscle Shoals when the senate de- feated the resolution urging Pres ident Harding to name former Gov. Alfred M. Taylor of Tennessee Sec retary of the Interior as the success sor of A. B Fall, resigned, evolved into outspoken words today.
 Senator George W. Duncan of Lime stone offered a resolution Thursday urging the republican President to name the Tennessee republican as MT. Falls successor. Other mem bers promptly objected to the resolu- tion, declaring that a democratic leg islature in Alabama should not call upon republican President to name a republican of. Tennessee to 8 posi- tion in his cabinet. The result was the defeat of the resolution by a great majority.
 Now the story is out that those who suggested the resolution had in mind the good which could come to Muscle Shoals with a sympathetic friend in the Presidents cabinet. Fo1 ner Governor Taylor has been outspoken in favor of the acceptance of Henry Fords offer for Muscle

WOMEN APPEAL TO SENATE TO STOP CONVICT LEASING
Letter Sent to Each Senator Asking for Defeat of Bill Extending
 System
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD M0ntComery. Ala. Jan. 20

In letters mailed to all members of the state senate late Saturday the legislative committee of Alabama women appealed to the senate to de- feat the bill extending the convict lease system which was passed by the house by vote of 74 to 20 Fri day. The letters were signed by Mrs. J. B. Jones. president of the council. and Mrs. Bibb Graves. chair man of the steering committee.
 The committee expressed the opin- ion that the state can obtadn greater revenue from state conviets by the abandonment of the convict lease system than it is now receiving through the maintenance of the sys- tenn and declared that revenue now going into the hands of the cor porations as profit can be placed Tn the state treasury. It suggested that the piece price system" be es- abolished whereby the state would mine the coal with convict labor at a certain stipulated amount ton and said that this system should give the state about $145 month for each convict.
 Letter In Full
 The letter sent to each member of the state senate follows;
 "The legislative council Of Ala bama women, representing thousands of women in the state, respectfully urge that the senate defeat house bill No 5, which would make pos bile the continuation of the convict lease system to 1927.
 T"Alabamians thinking the matter settled by the legislative acton or 1919 did not make 1t an issue in the campaign of 1929. The unexpected and precipitate action of the house has given the opponents of the convict lease system no time to perfect line of action. In support of our petition, however, we beg to eaAl vour attention to the following:
 National experts on prison labor condemn the convict lease system.
 .,Everv state except Alabama has abandoned the system. Alabama after months of consideration and inves- tigation voted to abolish the system in 1923.
 Humanitarian reasons demand the discontinuance of the lease system, which permits private interests to work the convict with no concern for his physical or moral welfare or the welfare of society but soley to gain the dollars he can produce.
 Suggests State Operation
 ssFinancial interests of the state do not demand the continuation of the lease system. While we have used the convict lease system as a means Of producing revenue by the labor Of convicts, there are men and women who believe that other methods of usIne their labor would produce larger revenue. The present law would produce a larger revenue. The present law would permit the work

ing of convicts under state control and the piece price system and would permit the continuance of that system after 1924.
 I've believe that the piece price system would put into the state treasury many hundreds of thou sands of dollars yearly that are now going into the treasury of the lessees of convicts. Taking for example the revenue from the prisoners leased as coal miners, we believe that you will find that the state is getting from $50 to s65 for it's convicts now min ing coal under the lease system; that the maintenance and proportionate overhead is approximately $25 per month, leaving the state about s25 as net income from each convict per month. Under the piece work sys- tenn, if the state receives the same amount paid to free labor (about SLIP per ton) and the convict digs as much coal as he now digs, which averages about five tons per digger, the gross income would be around s145 per convict per month. The maintenance would be slightly increased, but this would leave the state possibly four times as much revenue, all going to the state treasury instead of en- riehing the treasury of the lessee of the convicts.
 Want Investigation
 If it is your wish we will suggest lines of investigation. We feel sure, however, that your own sound judg- ment may be relied on to investigate thoroughly before allowing a back ward step to be taken. It is our be- lief that state control piece work would not only increase the revenue of the state, but would also provide a thorough supervision of the con victs looking to his own physical and moral welfare and toward the better interest of society"

WASHINGTON BUREAU I
 THE AGE-HERALD Washington, D. C., Jan. 20 !

NJ Coue has convinced Washing ton of one thing, and that is that he is charming individual of most fascinating manners. Arriving here he promptly declared that he was no marvel, that he did not know it all and that he was not attempting to put anybody else out of business. This immediately pleased a large CO., terie of Washington's most fashion able physicians who, in the begin ming, were openly antagonistic, and in the end, were delighted
 Especially were they delighted when Coue declared that in spite of his scheme for the relief of pain and elimination of disease there were still reasons for the physician with his pill and the surgeon with his knife. At the same time, he enthu- slastically espoused and expounded his doctrine that as most trouble was mental 1t could be readily elim- mind to work. And he demonstrated 
 Coue Is Charming.
 As result everybody in Washing ton, on retiring and preparing to get up, says (with the assistance of a string of 20 knots), Every day in every way I am getting better and better" score of times. When some one asked the famous French man if 1t would be efficacious to re- peat that phrase at other times dur ing the day, he replied in the af- firmative but warned against mak- ing 1t an obsession.
 It is Coues manner-most charm ing-and his countenance-most frank, honest-that first attract at- tention. He has wonderful snap ping brown eyes, which he dses most effectively. At times, he gazes di- rect with impelling force; aagin, as if for emphasis, he closes his eyes, tightly. His mustache, well waxed, curls on the right side, while on the left 1t droops as If disappointed.
 The man is below average height and is inclined to stoutness. In talking he uses his hands constantly and with remarkable celerity in movement. He is enthusiastic about everything, his science, American people, Washington.

= SHERIFFS' FEEDING BILL NOT INTRODUCED IN LEGISLATURE YET
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU |
 THE AGE-HERALD
 Montgomery. Ala. Jan. 20


 Sheriffs of Alabama have not yet introduced their bill proposing a re- turn to the old system of feeding prisoners whereby they would be paid stipulated amounts for the feed ing and would be allowed to obtain for themselves any portion of the amount not actually expended for food.
 The bill was almost introduced Friday. Some one sent 1t to c. F. Tanning, representative of Walker county, with the request that it be introduced in the house. Members of the legislature desire to accommodate their constituents and often in that which they can't support. MT. Fan hing sent the bill to the clerks desk but the moment the title was read he asked unanimous consent to with draw it. Consent was granted and MT. Tanning returned the bill to the per- son who. delivered it to him.
 T am in favor of the retention of the system which will require sher- ifs to cxpend the state appropriation in the feeding of prisoners and am opposed to the sheriffs receiving profit from the feeding of prisoners other than the profit paid them for the act of feeding" said MT. Fan ming.
