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.

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 Democratic seat be filled.

As a matter of fact, his knowledge of the carbureter hardly extended f:»rj trust.: enough to give him confidence in his spelling of It.

The machine refused to slow un It was as obsti nate .when Mr. Hammond 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, he thought, with a throb of relief.

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 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 automo die turned sharp ly and sped to the side of the road.

He neglected to mention that all he knew about autn. mobiles was that they had four wheels and were very pretty when new. Besides, he forgot that he didn’t know. A very comprehensive book of rule? had come with the car, and, s s all the world knows. Frank Hammond is nothing if not confident. The automobile came, in charge if n greasy garage man.

It was not *until after 5 o'clock this • 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.

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. THE EXECUTIVE GOMMITTEE OF THE MEN AND RELI3I0N FORWARD MOVEMENT
