The Trees
There is that harmony in trees
That I would fain possess:
The silken-soft caress
OF lyric lightness in the breeze
UNFOLDING homes embowered rooms
Among the blooms, where ncstlings
cry.
The truthful trunk that cones the sky,
Thick hung with boughs across,
Closc-pressed by ministering moss.
The fullness in the favored fruit;
The firmness of the grounded root.
Still purposeful to hold desire, tf,
When autumn comes, with life Of fire,
And / would have the heart of these
That brotherhood that is in trees
To heaven hold in sun and rain. A
Nor live thrall to winters chain.

HIGHWAY BOARD
 AGAIN ENJOnVED
(COntinued From Page One, )

highway if the road is built, and who owns thousands of acres of land few miles from the Eutaw- Livingston high way on this route, voted for the idetour, as did J. F. Suttle, while Commissioner J. H. Scruggs voted against it.
 Federal engineers had twice refused to approve the detOur, recommending the direct route by Boligee. Action by the commission in awarding the con- tracts for the detour was taken soon after it had adopted the entirely new policy of building roads with state funds alone independent of federal aid. This policy was adopted with the avowed purpose of speeding up the con struction of roads. Since then the high way commission has, used every effort to speed up at least this one road via Chairman Rogers home, which could pendent action of the state, in the ab- sepce of federal approval,
 Citizens of Boligee and vicinity ob- tained temporary injunction against the detour in Jefferson circuit court, which was dissolved by Judge McCord after hearing here on Friday, May g. On Tuesday, May 13, contracts for the project aggregating $409,0OO were awarded by the commission, without waiting for an appeal to the supreme court. Judge McCord's action today re- instate sthe injunction which he dis solved last week, and holds up the con struction of the detour until the su- preme court passes on the case.
 Constitutionality of the highway commission act is attacked in the case to be decided by the supreme court, as we'll as the right of the highway com mission to build road which does not connect county seats by the most direct or most feasible route, and charges of collusion to further their own personal interest were brought against COmmis- sioners Rogers and Suttle, in favor of the detour.

MANY DELEGATES UNRESTRICTED
 IN TENNESSEE
McAdoo, However, Wins Majority Of Instruct
 ed Counties

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 17.-Re- turns at midnight from 80 out of 95 counties in the state, according to the Nashville Tennessean's tabulation of the county conventions today, showed that McAdoo will have 722 instructed delegates in the state convention and Underwood 143.
 Out of the total of 2,O65 delegates to the convention 1,067 were uninstructed, according to the midnight tabulation. McAdoo apparently swept the First, Second, Third and Sixth congressional districts. The Fourth and Fifth dis. tricts will go mainly uninstructed.
 With his 722 delegates, McAdoo is still short 314 of majority in the state convention. McAdoo headquar- ters, however, claim to have instructed delegates from the Eighth and Ninth congressional districts.
 Underwood headquarters were as cer- tain that the entire delegation would be instructed for their candidate, or would be friendly to him fl sent nninstructed.

BRITISH AIR FANS
 DEMAND VARIETY
Simultaneous Broadcast ing Crowned Upon By
 Big Set Men

LONDON, May 17. Simultaneous broadcasting, now firmly on its feet in Great Britain, is meeting with mixed reception,
 The little flelow likes it--the crystal set men-and they are the ones the British Broadcasting company is try ing to please. But the men with the more expensive sets are, complaining that they aren't getting their moneys worth.
 It is argued that the man with the strong set is ufable to Stune in on other stations if all have the same programs.
 About all the complaints have got so far is laugh. There is no chance that simultaneous broadcasting will be stopped. There is no intention over here that all programs from the eight British stations shall be simultaneous.
 At present the news and weather is broadcasted simultaneously twice night ly. Usually there is one big feature night that is broadcasted from Lon don.

KAISER'S EARLY
 RULE RECALLED
Foolish Action Of Wilhelm
 PhOphesied By Minister

BERLIN, May IF. - Everybody hunts for a ray of the Imperial Sun. They compare the Kaiser to Frederick the Great. This is not Prussia, but an Asiatic court"
 That is the judgment passed on the first years of the ex-Kaiser's reign by the cleverest diplomat of the Bismarck ian era, Kurd von Schloezer, whose let ters were just published by his nephew, Leopold von SchlOezer.
 SchlOezer was German minister at the vatican, whence he was recalled in 1892 because he had shown signs of friendship to the son of the dethrOned 'iron chancellor"
 Wilhelm, when still prince and un- der the political membership of Count Waldersee, the indefatigable apostle of preventive wars, wrote the minister at the vatican: Your dispatches were of great interest to me As for the rest, my devise still remains, what I wrote under my portrait, namely 'oderint, dunn metuant' (may they hate, as long as they fear me.~
 Schloezer describes the first visit of the young emperor to Pope Leo XIII as follows: II have seen the Kaiser here for the first time in the role of a statesman, what he pretends to bel am sorry to confess that although he was extremely kind to me, could find very little qualification for a diplomat in him. One only remarked an affected self-cOnfidence and nasty manners"
 "The incense, his surroundings burn in profusion to the emperor" the ex- perienced observed adds melancholiously prevented the young man from recog- ni2ing his limitations. Without knowl- edge of mankind, but with boyish ex- aggerated self-confidence, he grew more and more to the conviction that he was destined to shake the world with his iron step"
 When the young Kaiser turned Bis. marck out of office, Schloezen's prophet tic comment was: This will not be his last foolish action"
 It was not the last, indeed.

[ Hell Bent" Prize Mystery
 Is Cleared By Prof. Phelps
Pulitzer Committee Set Aside Majority Vote
 Cast For The Show Off

ferred to as ''fhe third nember,' is q Columbia man.
 So is Hatcher Hughes, who wrote i Hell Bent Fer Heaven.1
 William Lyon Phelps of Yale uni versity and Owen Johnson, the author, were the two members of the jury whose majority votes flor "The Show Off, were set aside. Professor Phelps recog- nized the right of the committee to do this, but he commented on the extra ordinary fact that he was not advised of the reversal until he saw the news in the papers that Hell Bent Fer Heaven" was a better play than The Show Off.
 Not Even Mentioned
 The professor added that Hell Bent Fer Heaven, so far from meriting the prize in his expert judgment, was not even mentioned for 1t by either of the majority voters.
 The votes, Professor Phelps said, were as follows.
 Phelps: First prize, "The Change lings"; second prize, AThe Show Off ?
 Johnson: First prize, "The Show Off,
 Hamilton, the third member: First prize, Hell Bent Fer Heavenv ; second prize, "The Show Off.
 There is nothing that Mir. Kelly can do about it. He was voted a prize of $1 600 and didn't get it.

|BAPTISTS MOVE.
 TOITAKE CONTROL. OF UNIVERSITY.
$2,OOO,OOO Offered To De nominationalize Wash
 ington Institution

; ATLANTA, Ga, May 17.-An offer of $2,000,000 by the Southern Baptist convention for the return of George Washington University, Washington, D O., to Baptist ownership and con trol and it's subsequent rejection by the trustees of the university was revealed today when a committee appointed last year to conduct the negotiations made its report to the annual meeting of the convention here.
 Notwithstanding the summary re- jection of the proposal by the trustees the committee recommended that efforts to regain control of the university, which was lost in 1904, be continued. The convention unanimously adopted the committee report and approved its recommendations. M
 The terms under which the $2,00O,- GOO would be paid to the university in- cluded payments at the rate of $300,000 per annum into trust fund, the in- come of which would become available immediately for the needs of the insti- tuition. When the $2,0O0,00 had been paid in full, the university would pass totally under Southern Baptist control.
 In resume of the situation which prompted the attempt by the conven- tion to reclaim the control of the uni Yersity, the committee said that "a sur vey in 1919 of the education field in the capital city of the nation" revealed "among other things that the cause of higher education had been practically surrendered to Catholicism, that no university was functioning under Protestant auspices and that George Washington University, founded by the Baptists in 1921 and fostered by them until 1904.
 One reason given by the trustees of, the university for it's rejection of the proposal. according to the report, was that a $1,OO0,000 fund now is being raised on the ground that the universi- ty is undenominational and that to turn the university over the convention under these circumstances would be to break faith with the people of Wash ington who had subscribed to the fund.
 The committee tonight would not discuss the possibility of bringing le- gal action should financial and .diplo- matic overtures fail. It was stressed however, that the $2,00O,O00 offered is in no sense to be regarded as a pur- chase price. but simply fund to be added to the assets of the university.
 Dr. c. P. Stealy of Oklahoma City, introduced another resolution today which was designed to put the conven- ton on record as defining it's stand on the modernism-fundamentaiist question. Mir. Stealy moved suspension of the rules for immediate consideration by the floor, which was refused. The resolutions committee again adversed the resolu- tion and it's judgment was upheld by the convention. This is the third time the convention has refused to make any doctrinal statement, a privilege, which it is said, rests solely with the indi- vidual churches.
 Fred E. Britten, of Lake Worth, Fla, presented a resolution this after noon which would have the convention approve the World Court. The pro- posal went to the resolutions commit tee

just ahead. On top of that, he must get off in a corner several times daily and repeat the oration on which he will base his chances for the national cham pi0nship next month.
 Next September Jack plans to enter the University of Alabama and will study law. Tucked away in his locker at home is a scholarship which The Age-Herald awarded him when he ran away with the state. championship late in April.
 Jack" said his father, John D. Tur- ner, lis an unusual boy, He goes into his work with his whole heart and works as hard as any youngster ever saw. He has a literary leaning, and has never cared great deal for athlet- ics. He is going to be great lawyer some of these days, in my judgment" !"
 Jacks mother was too happy Satnr- day to do much talking. She said simply that Jack had brought her great happiness, that he was a mighty good boy" and that she and his father ex- pected great things of him. si
 His teachers at school and his school mates. are expecting just as much of Jack. He has taken a lead in all the school activities, having edited the school annual, the school paper, and having served as president of the Alpha Sigma Delta fraternity.
 The whole south, and particularly his thousands of friends and admirers in Birmingham, will be pulling for Jack on June 6.
 And Jack" his dad promises, "wilI be giving the best that, is in him to win new laurels for his home state of Alabama"

RAIL MEASURE FAILS AS RIDER
 TO ARMY BILL
Short Haul Proposal In- troduced As Unfinished
 Senate Business

WASHINGTON, May 17.-After all efforts to add the long and short haul railroad rider to the army appropria- tion bill had failed today in the Sen ate, Senator Goodin, republican, Idaho, called the bill upon it's merits and had it made the unfinished business of the Senate for Monday.
 The army appropriation bill carry ing total of $330, 100000 was passed after three unsuccessful attempts had been made to have the Senate declare it the policy of Congress that the In- terstate commerce commission should discontinue the practice, except in emergencies, of permitting rail carriers to charge a less tariff for freight on a long haul than on a short haul over the same line or travelling in the same direction.
 The first proposal, by Senator Pitt man, democrat, Nevada, was to add as an amendment to the army bill the Gooding measure proposing amendment of the Interstate commerce act. Sen ator Wadsworth. republican, New York. in charge of the army bill, made point of order against the plan and the Senate sustained, 49 to, 25, the ruling of President Cummins in throw ing out the Pittman provision.
 Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana, then proposed an amendment which would have made unavailable any of the $37 100000 appropriation for rivers and harbors until Congress had dis posed of the long and short haul ques- tion. This amendment was rejected without a record vote.
 4 new amendment later was offered ncne of the appropriations carried in the army bill for the power plant at the Milafores Lock, Panama Canal, could be available as long as the long and short haul principle remained in effect in domestic commerce. This met the same fate as the Walsh amend ment.
 Although Senator Gooding had his measure made the unfinished business of the Senate, it probably will not be considered Monday because of the expected debate on the bonus bill.

NEW YORK, May 17.-Those who wondered how it happened thata rather inferior drama about a backwoods re- ligious fanatic, s play called Hell Bent Fer Heaven" won the Pulitzer prize as the best on the boards in New York this year-and they were many-have learned all about it.
 Two members of the advisory board of the Pulitzer prize committee said they voted for another play called ssThe Show Off" comedy of life in Philai delphia, written by George Kelly, who also wrote last years success, The Torch Bearers" The third member, who is a member of, the faculty of Columbia university, said nothing. There was very little to be said in view. of the fact that the jury's award in favor of Kelly's play was everruled without any notice to the jury, and that Hell Bent Fer Heaven,' written by Colum- bia professor, was arbitrarily elected. Comment was, made in the usual cir cumstances of the award to Hell Bent Fer Heaven" These circumstances are as follows:

 Under cross-examination Government Attorney Black, Crawford denied he knew anything about campaign fund that was said to have been raised for him from local bootleggers. He said he did not know that John E. McEvoy collected $100 from Corso for his cam paign for reelection and that McEvoy spent the money for posters to be placed in barber shops and for hiring men to work for him in the campaing. Me Evoy testified that he used the money for this purpose.
 Crawford denied several days ago that any campaign fund was raised for him.

PARIS DUELLING
 LOSES OLD FEST
Saving Ones Skin New \ Attitude On Field
 Of Honor

PARIS. May 17.-Although there has been . recrudescence of the old time sport of duelling in France it has lost its flavor. It is no longer ques- tion of honor, but of saving one's skin, as witness this little episode.
 Two newspaper critics having had falling out over their reports of a play decided to settle the matter on the field of honor. "S
 But when everything was staged for the sword play the offended one said he didR't care to go on with it. His opponent agreed, whereupon they start ed for their automobiles. On the way someone remarked that it looked as if all concerned were going to be laughed at by all the newspapers of Paris.
 That's easy" exclaimed one of the alleged duellists. We were supposed to fight with swords. Let's say we fought with pistols instead and then nobody can be surprised that neither of us was wounded"
 "What!" cried his partner in the mystifcation. Then you had pistol with you?"
 "Of course!' came the retort "When I fight with swords always carry a pistol, If my opponent is wounded all's we'll. But if'he gets me then pull the gun and get him.'
