NotWar, But Reconstruction.
The war is over. But reconstruc-
tion presents greater problems than
the Hun ever did. The problems of J
peace are more; difficult of solution
than were those of war. But in at-

America has the advantage of pos-1
sessiae the world's highest type of I
womanhood, before whom the appeal I
may be placed. And now America is
calling to her women that they un -
dertake a great work for Women

can be accomplished only by women,

Mall.- It - is a dull wrfrfc fatTMut that
doesn't bring forth a new turn to the
I political conjecture in Mexico's presi.
loenaai race. Ana tne past week nas
net been a dull one. This is the ques
tion Mexico is asking herself today;
I "Does Venustumo Carranza intend
continue .
the presidential
Ichair?"
l Decidedly not, Carranza replies.
inally in El Democrata, a govern-
ment organ, was accompanied by the
tice ;$o the eiieet that a certain po-
I luteal group was conferring private-
Ity consider keeping the, President
power without violating the con-
stiiution." 1
I xetutmg this suggestion, car
1 ranza was quoted as saying that in
las much as reelection was prohibited
be would not violate the spirit of the
constitution by remaining in. office,
jeven though this could be done in k
I constitutional way. : He declared fur-
I ther, according to El Democrata, that
hi-' case' internal. ;Vent.' 'prevented the
jholdihg of the r election,; Congress
would designate the new executive.
But the President's . statement,
succeed himself. Basis oithis dis-
icussion generally . based on two
points:
The President may declare that
the pacification oi the nation is ftot
pet so complete 4s to permit the hoid
h8 of the elections, thereby extend
ing his term of office.
2. Controversy over, the election
may lead Congress to declare it il
legal, following this action by nam
ing a man to enter upon he-new
Jterm.
lf In the event of the second develop
ment, the newspaper Excelsior (in
jdependent) has pointed out, Carranza
undoubtedly would be designated ' as
the provisional president
The Excelsior asserts that the new
enlarsr-lconstitutwn provides:
' In ea.e of the absolute lack of
la President during the first two years
ai presidential term, Congress shall
immediately elect a President, the
same Congress to convoke new presi
dential elections, arranging for these
to take place as near as possible to
land senators. ,
I This means, according to the Ex
celsior, that should Congress declare
the elections Illegal, or should he
president-elect resign for the sake of
in-jpeaee,' Carranza would be named to
hold office for two years longer, or
until 1922, When the next congress
lional elections are- scheduled. f
Some' people, in facV declare that
i,j tu hest. for Mrtim if Car.
vwoid emain in nbwer:' that
he s-.the "stronir man" of the conn
try. that his continuance in office
Iwnuld twrmit Mexico to Continue .Its
inde-lsteadv imorovement uninterrupted
..fiut heritn lies a factor whkh led
Carranza's friends to -insist that he
win retire when his term ends. Car
ranz8j point out, is eager .to
before the world that Mexico
under his administration has achiev-
Jed democratic sUbility. There is no
better way of demonstrating .this,
th.., than bv the President's de-
Hverine his office to a man chosen
by people to succeed him. Very
few Me-ican mlgrs. it is declared,
jhav, peacefully stepped aside in favor
a successor any successor. So

M U C H OF PROPERTY
ALONG RIGHT-OF-WAY
AS IT. NEEDS. 1
' The contention of the Norfolk
Southern ttailroad in Regard to
its right of wayjthruagh JCinston
is sustained In a fctsion handed
down Friday by Judge Henry G. v
Connor of the Federal court
The case was instituted about three
years ago. . It involves property
rights along the lifae of the Norfolk
Southern in the eastern part of the
city. The railroad contended that its
right of way extended 100 . feet oh
either side of track. Abutting own-
fers denied the 'contention.
The opinion is quite lengthy and
sroes into the matter very thoroughly.
While it is favorable tor the railroad.
It Is not accompanied by an order for
the right of way to be vacated, but
instead Judge Connor authorizes the
appointment of" a. commission of
three; one to .represent the property
owners, one the railroad and one the
court, the Tatter to; be appointed by
him. This commission is to look into
the matter and report its findings to
him as to how much of the property
will how be required for necessary
tractage, incident to1 building the hew
I union station. The opinion reflects
consideration for. the. property Owners
and indicate that they will be dis
turbed as' little as possible th order to
give the -railroad the necessary room
for trackage.- .
Notice of the decision came to the
firm of . Rouse ARouse, attorneys

County ; Officer on
Hunt : for Still
'Scared' by Bad Man
Still chasers here today told of a
ludicrous incident in connection with
a search for a contraband plant in
woods some distance from the city.
As they neared the reported site of
the still two intoxicated men blocked
the way for their car.- One was
white, the other colored. They were
practically helpless, grovelling like
babies on their "all fours." As a pre
caution one of -the , officers stayed
with the "drunks" while the others
went on to try to locate ' the , plant,
which was not found. ;
The white man regaled his guard
with an interesting story about 'a sick
relative who would need his attention
as soon as the officer Would be so
kind as to release him. The colored
stricken one - adopted a combatant
manner. "Go away," he said. ,- The
officer occupied himself with the
landscape. ' After a-, lapse of some
minutes the prostrate negro raised his
head to look at his" companion.
rWhere's that man did he run?"-
The plant was probably inthe vi
cinity but skilfully hidden: . - It owed
none of its security to the sentries on
outpost duty, however. ',.,

of Accused Prosecutor.
. J. L. Hamme Friday informed
The Free Press he would request
the Mayor to call a special meet
ing of .the City Council .to hear
a statement by him regarding tho .
charges brought against him.
Friday . morning the council
met and decided it considered it
beat for Mr. Hamme not to pur
sue the duties of solicitor pend
ing clearing up of the matter.
Attorney Pbineas Croom Is act
ing prosecutor.
The trial pf J. L. Hamme, city
prosecutor, charged with aiding and
abetting in prostitution , as ': a result
of a raid on the house of MaDie
Holmes in South Kinstoh early .Wed'
Aesday' m'orhmg, has been : : set fir
Monday afternoon. ; The casi is ex
pectcd ; to be ; a. hard fought : one.
"Citizens" are said to have furnished
a fund for the prosecution of Hamme,
and attorneys have been retained, on
the 'Wub plan. The city solicitor's
lack .of popularity in some circles is
manifest even . to him. The . name by
which he. has been familiarly known
in the vicinity of South and Shine
streets is "that little sawed-off
according to Mr. Hamme.
No further revelations have - been
made by the. police. There are signs
that officers have been camping, on
Hamme's trail for months. That this
was. evident to him was remarked by
the "solicitor in a' statement W ,The
Free Press Thursday, in whkh he al
leged he had been doublecrossed and
that Miss Holmes, he believed, had
been trying for. months to compro
mise him..:; When hewasaughtuiiuz
hahille in her room early Wednesday
by policemen who did not have to use
skeleton keys or batter their way in,
the two doors Jeading to the prose
cutor's ' presence being unlocked, it
was part of a, plot swhich - he had
made with the officers to get, evi
dence, he contends, The officers
turned him up, nd declared in an
swer o to his- contention that they
were in oh no such plan.
Miss Holmes will probably be call
ed upon again to prove good char
acter. When she with many other
women was arraigned some weeks
afro she was acquitted. Mr. Hamme
prosecuted her, and according to an
attorney who was present appeared
to strive to convict her. - Three .'at
torneys have declined to i prosecute
Hamme on the charge by the police
of. "aiding, and abetting" the War
rant giving certain details of his al
leged wrongdoing, two on the ground
that feeling existed Vbetween ; them
and Hamme and one because he did
not want to be "mixed Up in the af
fair." The latter has been, in court
tilts with Hamme. ' There are nu
merous , possibilities In the affair
which according to gossip threaten to
involve other persons, the whole story
from the most authoritative sources
furnishing such a narration of in
trigue and scandal as would do cred
it to a far larger and. more wicked
burg and when Improved upon by
idle talkers making a sensation which
would "stir up" a monks' reading
room.
There are some sympathizers who
wish to give Mr. Hamme the benefit
of every doubt "The man is up
against it for friends," according to
one. Persons in high official cir
cles, including those who have been
closest CO him in a business way,' de
clare he is "an embarrassing dilemma
for an official and reputed moralist,
and must prove' his innocence." i ,
USING MUCH FERTILIZER.

DOZEN NEW : CABINET PLACES
OPOSED; AOPUfjSPORT
By RAYMOND CLAPPER ;
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, Mar. 1 19. Suggesting
creation of new. cabinet posts is one
of Washington's indoor sports which
is now flourishing as promoters of
the many ; presidential booms now
rolling along discover that there are
so few of these plums to distribute
among so many heavyweight con
tributors. , " ' ,V':v-ic
. But in view of the fact that Con
gress has added only six cabinet jobs
to the four originally established, it
is not likely, that all of the dozen or
so ; suggested portfolios will be cre
ated in the near future, though it is
possible that one or two may be ad
ded. ';;:;.-' "vv r-'.: :.v-;
Aviation, Etc , '
The new cabinet jobs more fre
quently suggested are those of Sec
retary of Aviation, Secretary' of For
eign Trade and Merchant Marine and
Secretary of Education. The latter
post is being widely favored by club
women and school teachers through
out the country as offering a chance
for a woman of national reputation
to enter the' presidential cabinet. And
in view of the tremendous political
power Of women voters from now on,
many Congressmen and senators
have already decided that as soon as
this demand grows loud enough, they
will have to bow to it, reluctant as
they are to see a woman -invade the
sacred circle. . . .
The following cabinet positions
have been proposed officially or
unofficially or at least discussed in
the cloak rooms of Congress or over
teacups ' in the Washington "draw
ing rooms," to which Franklin K.
Lane referred when he retired from
the cabinet recently: ( . .
Secretary of Education: to promote
public instruction, wipe out illiteracy,
educate aliens, and 'aid states hi Vo

Secretary . of Transportation: to

administer steamship regulations and
assemble activities pertaining to oc-
ean traffic now In charge -of the

Washington, Mar. 19. With all in

The Lodge amendment .was passed
with practically no debate. ' It pro
