BIRMINGHAM, An*. S—Alabama
to-day fa.ce* a jv.hiK al problem which
is exciting the keenest interest all
over tti i ountry. \V h the death of
Joseph Forney Johnston. senior
Unite,} Slates Senator from Alabama, I
gossip is ife concerning hi« succes
sor. Conjecture has been complicat
ed a.- a result of the recent amend
ment ’■» the Federal Constitution pro-
viding for the popular t lection of
Unite,1 States Senators.
Despite differences of opinion as to
the J. guilty of the proposed election
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
an election, though he has not defi
nitely announced that ho 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 th« proclamation pending a
conference with members of th»* Ala
bama delegation in Congress and oth
er leaders of the party in the State.
This conference will he h< Id in Uir-
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
Gongrevs from Alabama. Democratic
members of the Senatorial escort ac
companying the body of Senator John
ston from Washington will be consult

present comph x rroblein.
In tlie event that the Legislature Is

will hi- further complications. There
a.tv about fifteen vacancies in the two
brunches of the General Assembly
whii h would have to be filled before
the election of a new Senator could
be I- gal, according to opinions ex
press <! by State officials.
There is much more at stake than
that, however.
T' ■ death of Senator Johnston has
creatiri an acute situation in t m Na
tional Senate, where the tariff pro
moters ihave hut u bare Democratic
working majority with which to paps
the Underwood-Slmmons tariff bill
It has become imp* rative that every

the most approved fashion.

in reply.
As a matter of fact, his knowledge
of the carbureter hardly extended f:»rj trust.:

' that he must slow up. The machine
refused to slow un It was as obsti

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, he
thought, with a throb of relief.

But she saw the automobile in tim*

And on the questing automobilisrs

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 Buckhead car bearing
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 hud found for itself. On

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 automo die turned sharp

The Buckhead car had stopped, too,

Hammond remained to mourn.

Mr. Hammond smiled proudly In the

Besides, he forgot that he didn’t

The automobile came, in charge if

• verdng that consideration of the
steel schedule was reached for the
tir.st time since the adjournment
Thursday evening.
Senator Kenyon addressed the Sen
ate to-day on his amendment to put
the metals controlled by trusts and
monopolies on the free list. Ho paid
particular attention to the aluminum
trust, and read extracts from its con
tracts and briefs in suits that have been
brought against it. He showed that
the agreement between the American
nd Kuropean brunettes «.f 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 arm- 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 b< n exploited before
the House committee, and in the face
of such a showing the committees
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 ornmisslon 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 hill was
taken up and one or two minor para j
graphs of tho steel schedule dis
posed of.
Mezt 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 spell of pneumonia two months
ago. The occasion for the prayer was
Ids marriage to Miss Pearl Goude-
loch, a capable young woman who
nursed him through his period of ill
ness hack to health and to a Happi
ness that he hadn't known before.
They were married by Ur. h. tt.
Belk, pastor of the Park Avenue
Methodist Church, and left
day for Gainesville, the home of the
bride, whence they will go to Los An-
gf*lcS.
Miss 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 his friends, Mr. and Mrs. Mil-
ton I). Mitchell, in West End.
The attending physician, not liking
the turn the pneumonia was taking,
(ailed 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
his glance:
“We'll pull him through, doctor,
she ‘aid. confidently.
West End is beautiful in the
springtime. There are little parks
and shaded streets through which a
convalescent young m m can 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
an ,y.
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.

MEN AND RELIGION No. 73
“AND THEY ALL WITH
ONE CONSENT
BEGAN TO MAKE EXCUSE.”
Luke 14:18.
They were at dinner.
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.
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.”
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?
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:
“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—
“But our beasts we must protect whatever the cost."
t
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 in 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.
For they know the worth of a girl-child of ten to fourteen.
And they can appraise a cow or hog.
