DEMAND PROBE OF
 SKIPPING BOARD
Democrats Believed To Be Aim ing At Lasker's Administration

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-Demo- cratic leaders in the house today an- nounced they would attempt to have special committee appointed to in vestigate the affairs of the shipping board.
 Representative Garrett, the demo- cratic leader, said it was planned to have Representative Davis, Tennessee, democratic member of the Merchant Marine committee, introduce a resolu- ton calling for the investigation.
 Representative Longworth, republi- can leader, has been informed of the minority plan and has taken the posi- tiOn that if an inquiry is ordered the committee should have wide powers and authority to go back as far as it may desire into the Wilson administration in its investigation.
 A resolution calling for an inquiry will be offered within the next few days, said Mir. Davis, who declared that assurance must be given by the republicans that a majority of the committee members will approach the proposition ''in earnest and not be in- clined. to whitewash" present and past officials.
 It was indicated that if the demo- crats have their way, the investiga- tion will be directed particularly into the administration of A. D. Lasker, former chairman of the shipping board.

OFFER IS DEBATED
FoNa Advocates Are To Stick To
 Mckenzie Bill

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Heated discussion of Henry Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals. which today marked the executive session of the House military committee, is expected to be resumed tomorrow when the committee recon venes.
 With rejection of an amendment on the Mckenzie bill. which authorizes ac- ceptance of Ford's offer, advocates of the Detroit manufacturers bid declare they will continue to oppose any changes in the measure. Mir. Fora, they contended, has said that he stands ny his offer, and any amendments probably will not be acceptable to him.
 The Madden bill, which would re- place the Gorgas plant sold to the Ala oama Power company with another steam plant, it is understood has not been discussed. Replacement of the plant is one of Mir. Ford's demands.
 The committee then adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Mem- bers predicted. the discussion would continue at least another day with vote possibly late tomorrow or some time Friday.

 NEW YORK. Jan. 30.-Congress was urged to recognize the seriousness of the boll weeyil menace and to take prompt action to combat it, in . state ment issued tonight by Edward F. Bartlett, Jr., president of the New York Cotton exchange.

Judge Charles P. Almond fin- ished his charge at 8 80 o'clock this afternoon and the jury retired at :15 o'clock. Lata tonight no verdict had been rendered. | Features of the trial today were the lcroxs-Axamination of Key and the tes' ftifnony' of Robert J. Lancaster for the defense.

The trial of Roy Patton opens Thursday morning.

ALABAMA'S0LD BLUE SKY LAW
 HELD INVALID
Fort Rules It Unconstitu- tional And Throws Out
 Preston Motors Cases
STATE WILL APPEAL
 FOR FINAL DECISION
burt Also Finds Indictments Defective Because Not Spe-
 cific In Defining Profits

Trial of Preston Orr. Ross, A. Skin, ner and James T. Driver, officials of the Preston Motors eorporation, has hsnn indefinitely postponed and the three men released, following the opinion announced Wednesday after noon by Judge William E. Fort that the sfand jury indictments against them were defective and the Alabama blue sky law, under which they were indicted, was unconstitutional.
 < Solicitor Jim Davia. who has handled the case for the state since the affairs of the Preston Motors corporstion first came under the scrutiny of the Jeffer- con county grand jury, anpounced i'm msdiately that the ruling would be ap- pealed to the Alabama supreme court. If. Judge Forts decision is sustained, the state will be obliged to drop its charges against the officials, court officials pointed out.
 Violates Constitution
 p Tho ruling, which was announced about { o'clock Wednesday afternoon, were based on Section 6 of the Alabama constitution and the sixth amendment to the constitution of the United States, which provides that the defendant Is entitled to know the nature and cause |of the accusation against him. A similar provision is contained In the state con stituti0r. The law is said also to vio- late Section 46 of the state constitution, which provides that legislative act
 must be clear and specific in all its terms. Judge Fort pointed out that it does not define the offense at which it is aimed and makes 1t impossible to de termine when q person is guilty under its provisions.
 .'The Alabama blue sky law comes in the same legal class as the Lever law against profiteering, which was de clared unconstitutiona by the supreme court" Judge Fort said. @The Lever law provided penalties for persons con victed of buying goods and selling then, again at more than n reasonable profit The question as to what constituted a reasonable profit was left with no fixed standard. A jury in one case might de. eide that certain. profit was permis. sible under the law, while the same jury in another case, or another jury in the same case, might decide diff ferently.
 "The same thing is true of the blu, sky law in Alabama." he continued Penalties are provided for its viola ton, but 1t eoes not state specifieaiI, when it is violated. Its terms are no suffigiently dsfinite It does not aaak, clear what person must do to .b' guilty under It's terms, which are st vague that the average citizen does no, know what they mean"

 AGAINST GAS TAY
Judge Bouldin Also Out To
 Montgomery Distributors

MONTGOMERY. Ala. Jan. 80.- (By Associated Press. )-EQuity court of Montgomery has not jurisdiction in the controversy between city and gaso- line distributors and therefore unable to grant a petition for temporary in junction against the new city gas tax, Judge Walter E. Jones found in de- cision handed down late yesterday.
 Managers of the Wofford Oil com pany and the Interstate Oil company here today said they would refuse to pay the additional city gas tax despite the declination of Judge Walter B. Jones of the court of equity in grant ing temportary petition of injunction. It is pointed out that such action will necessarily force the city to carry the case before the circuit court.
