",'he little fellow would gather the
buckeyes, sometimes by pocketfuls and
sometimes by hasketfuls, and would
bring them In and play with them. One
day he took sick. The next day he
was better, SO he went out as usual
and brought IN Just one large. fine
buckeye and played with 1t. The next
day he died"
After little pause he continued;

TO BE MOUTHPIECE
Newest Man In Senate Will Be Closest
 President

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Regard- less of who is chosen as the majority leader in the senate to succeed Lodge, the administration mouthpiece on the floor will be William NJ. Butler, who has been named to fill the seat left by the late Massachusetts senator.
 Though he will be the newest man in the senate, Butler, by virtue of his close association with President Coolidge as campaign manager, will be the Presi- dents spokesman in the senate.
 Had Lodge not died, this function would nave been exercised by Gillett, who had just been elected to the senate after long service in the house. Buffers closer relations with the President, how ever, make him, instead of Gillett, the logical spokesman of the White House. Had Lodge lived, Butler would have gone into the cabinet and it was with that understanding that he withdrew from the senatorial race in Massachusetts last spring.
 The new senator, appointed Thursday by Governor Cox, is new in national politics, though he has been influential in Massachusetts affairs for, years. He is almost as uncommunicative as Cool idge, and goes at political business with the same driving seriousness that en- abled him to build up a tremendous milling business in New England. He is a new type of politician in national af- fairs, having little respect for the tradi- tional, back-slapping, yarn-spinning bunkum with which the old school poll tician cushions his activity.
 Lodge, the last of the old scholarly men of leisure, wlio took up politics as a profession, is succeeded by a perfect specimen of the new type, the man of big affairs who goes into politics as a business. Butler is a product of the industrial age.
 The new senator's influence on re- publican policies will be great. He is a strict conservative, who has a strong con- tempt for the La Toilette school. His personal inclination would be to rule all extreme progressives. out of the party.

MAY TEST LAW BY HOT FIGHT IN HIGGINS CASE Police Officer Gets 30 !. Days And $100 Fine On
 Liquor Charge CAUSE IS APPEALED
 TO HIGHER COURT Officer Stands Pat-Cites Ruling In Congress-
 mans Case

The case of Police Sergeant c. M. Higgins, who was ar rested Wednesday night by Chief Fred H. MeDuff on a liquor charge and sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $10O and $10 costs in record CTS court Thursday by Judge Henry Martin, threatens to be- come a test case, as Higgins has appealed to the higher courts.
 Higgins pleaded not guilty to the charge of violating the liquor law through his attorney, Clarence Mullins, declaring that the liquor seized was fruit juices or cider and that he was in his constitutional rights in the manufacture of it for his own use. Chief McDuff, who conducted the raid and placed the officer under arrest, said he believed the liquors to be corn whisky.
 Higgins contends that the liquid was made from peach juice, sugar and mo- lasses and that he had put no alcohol in it. As test ill the court room Thursday afternoon, some of the liquid was poured on the floor and burned a bright blue flame.
 Cites Hill Case
 The officer referred to the Congress- man Hill case decision Wednesday, which declared that it was not uncon- stitutional to make beverages of fruit juices for ones own consumption. Through his attorney, Higgins indicated that he had no statement to make, but was standing pat, like the Maryland con- gressman, on his rights to make home brew.
 Chief McDuff conducted the raid Wednesday afternoon after receiving in- that there was liquor activi- ties around the home. Higgins was not in at the time, McDuff said, but mem bers of his family led him to the bever- age when the search warrant was pre- scented. There was nothing to indicate the sale of liquor about the premises, McDuff said.
 Higgins was arrested at Il o'clock by Chief McDuff, when he reported at police headquarters for duty and placed under a $2OO bond. Following his ap- peal Thursday afternoon his bond was fixed at $500.
 The keg containing the liquid was brought to police headquarters and is being held for evidence.
 The officer is now under suspension and in case the charges against him are sustained his case will be presented to the civil service board and his resigna- tion asked,

SAYS SOLUTION IDEAL
Segregation Of Sexes To Be Tried First
 With Freshmen

Dr. J. c. Dawson, president of How ard college, Thursday declared that the plan of coordinated college for men and women decided upon Thursday morning by the Alabama Baptist con yention, in Anniston for Howard col lege to be the ideal solution of the CO., educational problem.
 ''The coordinated plan of a college solves all the difficulties of cO-education said Dr. Dawson" and yet retains all the good features of that system. It allows young men to exploit their own personality in class of young men and gives girls chance to do the same. The good advantage is having all col lege activities together. It is the only solution to the co-educational question"
 The new plan will begin first with the freshmen at mid semester, accord ing to Dr. Dawson, and the separation will take place every year, so that within five years, with a building for women, the plan will be completed.
 Crawford Johnson, Peyton Eubanks of Ensley and W. l. Pittman, elected to board of trustees of Howard col lege at the convention will meet with the board at the next meeting, accord ing to Dr.. Dawson.
