HOBSON ALREADY IN RACE Amendment Providing for Direct Election Causes Doubt as How to Fill Vacancy. BIRMINGHAM, An*. 9—Alabama to-day face* a political problem which Ip exciting: the keenest Interest ell over the country. With the death of Joseph Forney Johneton, ^senior United States Senator from Alabama, aropslp 1p rife concerning his succes sor. Conjecture has been complicat ed as a result of the recent amend ment to the Federal Constitution pro viding for the popular election of United States Senators. Despite differences of opinion ns to the legality of the proposed ejection to choose a successor to Senator Johnston, Governor O’Neal has not receded from the position assumed by him In this statement Friday after noon. He Is still of the belief that he is possessed of authority to call such nn election, though he has not defi nitely announced that he will take such action. Conference With Leaders. Since there Is such marked uncer tainty among party leaders as to the legality or expediency of a special election, the Governor will defer Is suance of the proclamation pending a conference with members of the Ala bama delegation in Congress and oth er leaders of the party In the State. This conference will he held In Blr- rr.ingham following the funeral of Sen ator Joseph Johnston, which will take place here Sunday. Governor O’Neal arrived In Bir mingham to-night. In addition to Senator Bankhead and members of Congress from Alabama, Democratic members of the Senatorial escort ac companying the body of Senator John ston from Washington will be consult ed by the Governor in his effort to arrive at a satisfactory solution of the present complex problem. In the event that the Legislature Is called together in special session there will be. further complications. There are about fifteen vacancies in the two branches of the General- Assembly which would have to be filled before the election of a new Senator could be legal, according to opinions ex pressed by State officials. There Is much more at stake than that, however The death of Senator Johnston has created an acute situation In the Na tional Senate, where the tariff pro moters have but a bare Democratic working majority with which to pass the Underwood-Slmmons tariff bill. It has become Imperative that every Democratic seat be filled. O’Neal Asks Advice. A vacancy exists. Political leaders in the State realize the gravity of the situation and it is for this rea son alone that Governor O’Neal tele graphed to Attorney General Me- Reynolds to ascertain the proper pro cedure In naming a successor. A sealed reply has been received, but its contents are being withheld by Attorney General Brickell until the dead Senator has been burled. Oscar Underwood, the tloor leader SHAMPOO YOURSELF CUTICURA SOAP Mayor’s Private Secretary Buys New Car; Xearly Loses His Life and Does Lose ()ld Friend. Should you open the subject with Frank Hammond, Mayor Woodward's Napoleonic young secretary, you will come to find out that bridge whist is about the only game that Is played according to the rules. In poker, pol itics. in running an automobile and in most of the other* the book of rule? doesn’t count, Mr. Hammond will as sure you. Particularly, you will be informed, Is there no Hoyle or Marquis of Queensberry In the motoring game. And then Mr. Hammond will pro ceed to tell you of his own exploit, of how he started out on a deed of high emprise, armed with only a book of rules and a knightly heart, to subju gate an untamed automobile. Anl he will tell you how he came near to being subjugated himself, and how lie lost a very good friend After the manner of nil rising young men, Mr. Hammond decided upon the purchase of an automobile The first installment paid, the ma chine duly wan delivered. Smiles on Ownership. Like a young father or a debutante. Mr. Hammond smiled proudly in th« Joy of ownership, and called upon his nearest and dearest friends to Invite them for a ride. He neglected to mention that all he knew about auto mobiles was that they had , fojr wheels and were very pretty when new. Besides, he forgot that he didn’t know. A very comprehensive book of rules had come with the car, and, ns all the world knows, Frank Hammond Is nothing If not confident. The automobile came, In charge of a greasy garage man. It was firsd up, gasoline stocked and ready for action. The garage man said “good- morning" very politely to the new owner, without warning as to what was coming, and then went back 'o his greasy shop. Frank Hammond and a trusting friend were alone with the untamed automobile, hut unafraid. Mr. Hammond had seen others do it. and so he spun the crank in front. The engine started. Then, with a surreptitious glance at page 10, book of rules, he manned the wheel, cov er*/ as many pedals with his feet as possible, and pulled the lever. The car jumped ahead. The trust ing friend lost his hat. Mr. Ham mond almost lost his head, but was sufficiently alert to push the lever far hack In the other direction. As the automobile had Jumped ahead, now it leaped hack war* Car Starts Turkey Trot. With one finger between page 1ft and pagt* 11, praying for an opportu nity to read, Mr. Hammond Jabbed his lever back and forth, experi mentally. The car turkey-trotted In the most approved fashion. "’Smaiter?" gasped the friend, his confidence waning “Carbureter," gasped Mr. Hammond In reply. As a matter of fact, his knowledge of the carbureter hardly extended fur enough to give him confidence In his spelling of It. The car stopped of itself. Maybe It was surprised at the startling ac cusation its owner had Just made. The trusting friend had a brilliant Idea. He decided to get out. But Mr. Hammond, still confident, more confident than ever, perhaps, now that he. could look at pagp 11, held him in The machine was started in a ration al manner. “Fine,” remarked Mr. Hammond. In his path loomed a young woman The automobile was close upon her, and Mr. Hammond saw with alarm that he must slow up. The machine refused to slow up. It was as obsti nate when Mr. Hnmrhond begged It .o stop altogether. He closed his eyes and prayed that the young woman would not leave a house full of motherless children. Maybe she wasn’t married at all, be thought, with a throb of relief. Youn" Woman Escape- But she saw the automobile in time, and Jumped. Just in Jime she saw it and Jumped. And on the questing automobillst* sped, out Peachtree road. Angels would not have dared their feat. No where did they stop or slacken speed, because they couldn’t. They found themselves In the cen ter of the street car track after a while, with a Ruckhoad car hearing down upon them from the rear, and rapidly coming nearer. The automo bile had another stubborn fit, and re fused to turn from the strait and nar- row path It had found for Itself. On came the car. Mr Hammond nerved himself for a desperate effort. He rose In his seat and threw all his strength into the strangle hold he had on the steering wheel. The automobile turned sharp ly and sped to the side of the road. An embankment was there, but this automobile, being a brave little thing, feared embankments no more than it did the threats of the man who owned it and head on into the bank of clay It went, there to stop. The Buckhead car had stopped, too, and the trusting friend, escaping Mr. Hammond’s clutches, boarded It. Mr. Hammond remained to mourn. But that was some time ago. Now Mr. Hammond knows that it wasn't really the carbureter that was the trouble on the first day. BILLTO SENATE Democratic Leaders Despair of Accomplishing Work—Legisla tion Delayed by Speeches. WHAT CONGRESS DID TO-DAY. WASHINGTON, Aug. The Sen- ate met at noon. President sent special message urg ing Immediate legislation to make effective agreement of The Hague opium conference. Smith, of Michigan, renewed charges that Mexican lobby Is at work here and has Influenced the State Department. Williams, of Mississippi, asserted an organized effort was being made to bring about war between the United Htate* and Mexico. Kenyon discussed the tariff, de claring it more Important to control trusts than revise tariff. Foreign Relations Committee au thorized President to accept bust of William Pitt from British donors and approved nomination of James M Sullivan to be Minister to Dominican Republic. The House was not in session. Meets Tuesday. WASHINGTON. Aug 9.—Demo cratic leaders despair of making headway on the pending tariff bill. It was not until after 5 o'clock this evening that consideration of the steel schedule was reached for the first time since the adjournment Thursday evening. Senator Kenyon addressed the Sen ate to-day on Ills amendment to put the metals controlled by trusts and monopolies on the free list. He paid particular attention to the aluminum trust, and read extracts from its don- traota and briefs In suits that have been brought against it. He showed that the agreement between the American and Kuropean branches of this Inter national trust prohibited the sale of aluminum products by European manufacturers even to the Govern ment of the United States. Mr. Kenyon showed in detail the character of such supplies used by the army and navy and pointed out that In time of war this Government, through the operation of the contract between the trusts, would be at the mercy of the American corporation. He also disclosed that this whole question had been exploited before the House committee, and In the face of such a showing the committee* In the House and Senate had given the products of the aluminum trust a duty that amounted to considerable protection. Senator Fletcher, who was to have been chairman of the commission that went to Europe to Investigate the subject of rural credits, but who was kept here on account of the tariff, spoke at length on that subject. When he had concluded the tariff bill was taken up and one or two minor para graphs of the steel schedule dis posed of. ^est End Merchant Now Blesses Pneumonia Germs Which Brought Him a Bride. Benjamin C. Harris, a young West End merchant, fervently called for blessings Saturday upon the kind germs that sent him to his bed with a severe “pell of pneumonia two months ago The occasion for the prayer was his marriage to Miss Pearl Goude- loch, a capable young woman who nursed him through hts period of ill ness back, to health and to a happi ness that he hadn’t known before. They were married by Dr. B. R Belk, pastor of the Park Avenue Methodist Church, and left Satur day for Gainesville, the home of the bride, whence they will go to Los An- Goudeloch Is a trained nurse of the Wesley Memorial Hospital and the daughter of a prominent family of Gainesville. She first met Mr. Har ris as he lay near to death in the home of hia friends, Mr. and Mrs. Mil- ton D. Mitchell, in West End. The attending physician, not liking the turn the pneumonia was taking, called for an efficient nurse. Miss Goudeloch was retained. Mr. Harris looked up at his nurse with something in his eyes that was more than the awe a trained nurse inspires. Miss Goudeloch returned hts glance: “We'll pull him through, doctor, she said, confidently. West End Is beautiful In the springtime. There are little parks and shaded streets through which a convalescent young man -an walk by the side of the trained nurse whom he doesn't really need in a professional capacity any longer, and can talk to her of many things. And what Mr. Harris said didn’t make her a bit angry. 9 The courtship was brief. With the aid of the Mitchells, In whose home they met, the marriage was arranged and together the little party went to the Methodist parsonage for a quiet ceremony. TRAIN KILLS TRACK HAND.

There are still others also. Frank P.

Of course Hobson will continue his race —he will not receive the appointment from Governor O'Neal, for they are bitter political enemies. Senator’s Funeral Train Is Derailed.

Jesus said: “When thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind, ; “And thou shalt be blessed.” One at the table pretended to be in sympathy. He began smugly: “Happy is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.” The hypocrisy of the man and all others like him was unmasked in the answer made by Jesus. He said: ' / ' • » £.* “A certain man made a great supper and bade many— “And they all with one consent began to make excuse.” One said one thing, another another. ? V With one it was a field; with another it was new oxen. [ In the end, the Lord said: > “None of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.” c And from the highways and the hedges called He His guests. Are you a maker of hypocritcal phrases as was the man at the Phari see’s dinner table—pretending a love for that which is just and right? f Or, to-day, are you trying to do the will, not of man or men, but of Him who died for you? Let us have done with excuses! While spending thousands on fields, hogs and cattle, say not: f * “We are unable— ‘ * “We can not give proper care to these girls— “These children must go down in shame because of our lack of money— ■' v . * t “But our beasts we must protect whatever the cost.” If animals are more valuable than girls, let us say frankly: but you know that this is untrue. You know what Georgia would do. Consider, then! The Bill in the House providing a Reformatory for Girls is No. 4— ahead of any other measure appropriating money. The Penitentiary Committee has approved it. Unanimously the Appropriations Committee has recommended that it pass. Why, then, should beasts and fields be provided for by later bills and nothing done for Georgia’s wayward and delinquent girls? BURWELL of Hancock, the Speaker of the House, the Chairman and the vice-chairman, BLACKBURN of Fulton, HARDEMAN of Jef ferson, MILLER of Bibb, NUNNALLY of Floyd, PAULK of Berrien, RAGLAND of Talbot, REDWINE of Fayette, RHODES of Clarke, SHUPTRINE of Chatham and SLADE of Muscogee constitute the Rules Committee of the House. The Bill is Li their hands. Monday is the final day in which the measure can be heard and en acted into law at this session of the Legislature. These eleven men, THE RULES COMMITTEE, will not prevent a hearing, say their friends. We believe that they will do more, that they will help to pass the Bill.
