SENATORS UNDERWOOD AND
HITCHCOCK TIED ON VOTE.
SMITH DIDN'T VOTE.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Senate
democrats today deadlocked over the
choice of a floor leader to succeed
the late Senator Martin.
With the vote between Senators
Hitchcock and Underwood a tie, the
democratic caucus broke up shortly
after noon with no date set for an
other attempt to elect a leader. The
caucus adjourned subject to call by
Senators Hitchcock and Underwood,
who, in the meantime, will try to
break the deadlock.
Refusal of Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, to vote for either candidate
caused the deadlock. Senator Harris
voted for Underwood.
There weré forty-three senators
present, With Senator Smith refus
ing to vote the Hitchcock and Un
derwood factions each has twenty
one votes. Senators Swanson, John
son, of South Dakota, and Smith, of
Arizona, were absent.
The caucus at first voted to per
mit Carter Glass, the new senator
from Virginia, to vote but later this
action was reversed.
Had Mr. Glass been permitted to
vote Senator Underwood would have
won by one vote. Senator Glass has
not yet taken his seat in the senate
although his credentials have been
presented.
The Underwood forces cited prece
dents for letting Mr. Glass vote, but
in the end the caucus refused to al
low this.
The caucus lasted two hours and
from the first developed into a bit
ter fight with Mr. Glass and his vote
the storm center.
There were many speeches. Sena
tor Reed described it as one of the
bitterest fights he ever saw.
Another caucus will be held on
Thursday, and it is believed Mr.
Smith will then vote for Senator Un
derwood.

| HIGH SCHOOL NOTES |
Girls’ Team Starts Schedule.
The girls’ basket ball team has im
proved much during the last few
weeks, A basket ball game is sched
uled for Monday afternoon at three
o’clock against the Albany high
school team. As the Dawson girls’
team is slightly “green,” and as this
is their first game against an oppos
ing town, great results are anticipat
ed. Dawson's forwards are excep
tionally good, and with Louella Nas
worthy and Vera Kendrick as guards
and Martha Bell and Hilda Brim as
centers we are expecting to put Al
bany “in the shade.” Miss Louise Mec-
Nulty makes the girls a splendid
coach, patiently practicing with
them every afternoon. Several towns
have urged the Dawson girls to play
them, but heretofore they have been
unwilling to undertake any games.
“The Forum’ Elects Officers.
New officers were elected at the|
meeting of the Boys’ Literary Society
Friday afternoon. The results of the
balloting were: Virgil McDowell,
president; Julian Jordan, secretary;
Wade Hass, vice president; Croswell‘
Brim, censor. |
The program consisted of a debatei
—resolved: “That the Ford is better
than the Packard.” Marvin Clay andl
Rogers Locke argued for the flivver,'
while Langston Bolton and John |
Grille defended the negative. The
judges rendered their decision in fa
vor of the affirmative. Another good
number was a song by Reid Buch
anan and Andrew Leverette. Mr.
Cheves in his criticisms of the pro
gram commented on the way the
speeches were delivered, in that they
were read and not spoken. The mem
bers of the society have the aim in
view to correct this fault and thus
take a long step toward good oratory.
Girls’ Literary Society Meets.
The Girls’ Literary Society met
Friday, January 16th. A short busi
ness session was held first. It was
decided that a program committee
be appointed every two weeks. Fol
lowing the business meeting this very
interesting program was rendered:
Current events, Emily Wilkes; The
Life of Joel Chandler Harris, Martha
Bell; story, “Br’er Rabbit Goes
Courting,” Mollie Stewart; piano so
lo, Alleene Brown; song, “The Nerv
ous Chap,” Mary Sherman; trio, “The
Music Box,” Gladys Lewis, Autrey
Lewis, Mable Buchanan. The last
number on the program was ‘“Dixie,”
sung by the society.
D. H. S. Wallops Columbus.
D. H. S. hopes were raised con
siderably Saturday, when they beat
Columbus high 34 to 16. The passing
and shooting of the Dawson team
was excellent. Columbus played a
good guarding game, but was unable
to locate the basket. The game was
the roughest of the year. This vic
tory is quite a feather in our caps,
for Columbus always has one of the
strongest fives in the state. Albany is
the next on the list. Let’s go, boys.
Remember last year. We must have
revenge. This game takes place Fri
day night at the high school gymna
sium.
Parrott Takes Count for Third Time.
In a fast basket ball game here
Wednesday night Parrott was defeat
ed for the third time by the high
school five. Both teams showed
marked improvement over the last
game Parrott played here. The game
was more hotly contested than any
game played up until that time, with
the exception of the Fort Valley con
tests. Wade. Parrctt forward, was
laid out with a broken arm. The
final score was 37 to 16.
Important Program for Friday. Pub
lic Urged to Be Present.
All the public is invited to attend
the Lee and Jackson program that is
to be given at the school auditorium
Friday, January 23rd. There will be
several new features that will inter
est every one. This will be the pub
lic’s opportunity to hear the high
school’s orchestra. The public is not
only invited but urged to come.

MAY ROUTE TRAINS

I
'THROUGH TRAINS OF CENTRAL
WILL PROBABLY BE GIVEN
NEW ROUTING MARCH IST.
| MACON, Ga.—Now that the South
ern Railway has practically taken
over the Geprgia, Southern and Flori
da, and after March 1 proposes to
merge it with the Southern Railway
system, it is reported in railroad cir
cles that as soon as the government
relinquishes control over the various
lines the Central of Georgia plans to
negotiate a deal with the A. B. and
A. railway, by which the through
trains now operated by the Central
in connection with the G. S. and F.
can be routed from Montezuma to
Waycross over the A. B, and A.
The Dixie Flyer and the Southland
are now handled out of Atlanta bg
the Central of Georgia and turne
over to the Georgia Southern at Ma
con, the Dixie Flyer using the G. S.
and F. tracks as far as Tifton, where
it is taken up by the Atlantic Coast
Line into Jacksonville, The Southland
is operated from Macon to Jackson
ville by the Georgia Southern.
It is understood that the Central
proposes to handle these trains from
Atlanta through Macon to Montezu
ma or Oglethorpe, turn them over to
the A. B. and A., which line will han
dle them to Waycross, where they
will be picked up by the Atlantic
Coast Line to Jacksonville. This route
is said to be practically the same in
mileage as the Tifton or Valdosta
route.
Turned Over to Central.
Through train service between
Jacksonville, Macon, Atlanta over
the Georgia Southern and the South
ern Railway will, it is said, cut into
the Central’s South Georgia business
considerably, as heretofore a majori
ty of the business from South Geor
gia, coming into Macon over the G.
S. and F., has been turned over to the
Central here. With the other ar
rangement, however, and through
train service, the Central officials
realize that the bulk of this business
will be gone and for that reason they
are planning to get an additional
haul out of the through trains from
the north instead of surrendering
them at Macon.
If the arrangement with the A. B.
and A. falls through then the Cen
tral intends, so it is stated, to handle
the through service by the way of Al
bany, using its own tracks to that
point and turning the trains over to
the Atlantic Coast Line there. The
mileage on this line is very little
}more, if any, than the ones now in
use. In fact a number of years ago
!when the famous Dixie Limited was
‘ifirst inaugurated it was handled by
the way of Albany over the Central,
and railroad officials state that bet
ter time was made that way than on
any other line.
! The Central is also planning a
‘through service between Atlanta and
Jacksonville and Macon and Jackson
ville over these same routes. This ser
vice will be in addition to the through
trains from the north.
No definite announcement has been
made as yet, and hardly will be until
March 1, but railroad men state it as
a fact that the Central will leave no
stone unturned to get its share of the
{business originating in South Geor
-Igia for North Georgia and in North
{ Georgia for South Georgia.
Chicago Merchants Form Vigilante
Committee to Repel Horde That
Has Been Terrorizing District.
Automobile bandits who visit stores
or residences in Chicago run the
chance of being greeted by a rain of
buckshot. Merchants and residents of
the city, becoming desperate at the
continued depredations of gangs of
motor bandits, have formed a vigi
lante association and armed them
selves with shotguns, loaded with
buckshot.
Push-button alarms, with buttons
in the floor and walls, where they can
he touched by foot or hand have been
installed to call every association
member into action when a bandit
