WEEK’S EVENTS PUT NEW GINGER INTO POLITICS OF STATE Now Generally Acknowl edged That the Hobson Bubble Has Exploded CHESTNUTT’S ENTRY IS NEW FEATURE — I Race for Short Term Senator Is Destined to Prove Most In teresting of the Entire List By HUGH W. ROBERTS Developments In the political situation came thick and fast during the past week. The Incipiency of the campaign for the senatorial short term, the red hot con troversy in regard to the settlement of the railroad rate war, and the precipitate entrance into the field of Scott Chestnutt as a candidate for lieutenant governor, coupled with the generally recognized fact that the bubble of It. P. Hobson is ex ploded, caused the state to forget that a bitter contest is raging, a contest In which outside republicans have taken a hand, having for its object the retire ment of Alabama's greatest son, Oscar \Y\ Underwood. So patent lias it become as a matter of fact that Mr. Underwood will win hand somely over his opponent, that that strug gle has lost its art of attraction. It is anticipated that the entrance of another republican agency, desirous of embar rassing the administration of President Wilson by defeating bis ablest lieutenant, Mr. Underwood, will not have force suf ficient to arouse the corpse. One Problem Unsolved There are few informed men of Ala bama who hesitate to admit when pressed that the captain, in a political sense, has expired. Practically every individual has a well fixed opinion as to the outcome of the gubernatorial contest. There are few who deny that despite the entrance of Mr. Chesnutt, Thomas E. Kilby will be elected lieu tenant governor. It is generally under stood that Birmingham’s candidate for the raiTroad commission, B. H. Cooper, will be elected to one of the two seats. Few doubt bu£ that James J. Mayfield and Perry Thomas will be successful in their efforts to secure re-election to the benches of the supreme and appel late courts. But no man has been able, up to the present time, to select the winner of the short term senatorial campaign. This struggio is destined lo be one of the most interesting in the history of the state, (’apt. Frank S. White is well known throughout Alabama. He is recognized as a man of personal and political cleanliness, with a marked fjjility to win votes. Ray Rush!on of lontgomery is well and favorably known. He is talented and forceful and clean. Watt T. Brown of Ragland has long been engaged in the service of the people of the state and is generally popular. The struggle between the three will he of enthralling interest. One Decent Race This race is destined to furnish an instructive contrast to that for the long terra. In the latter. Captain Hobson opened in Wetumpka with a vicious attack against the character of Mr. Underwod. On every stump of the state he has characterized his able opponent as a “whisky man,” a friend of the interests, a henchman of Wall street, a reactionary, an enemy of the peoule, a trickster, a tool and many other tlungs equally as unpleasant. And he has proved non of these charges. In the race for the short term, the can didates will be aggressive on the stump without displaying a disposition to de prive an opponent of office and of char acter at the same time. As a result, the prejudice of the people will not lie aroused and they will be able to proced in a dig nified and patriotic manner to select the man considered by them best fitted tc discharge the duties of the office. And when it is all over they can rally to the nominee with enthusiasm and rest assured that the wisest man has been chosen. Mr. Underwood’s Dinner A feature of the lung term senator ial campaign will occur Monday even ing when the President of the Unit ed States serves a banquet in honor ol Mr. Underwood, Alabama’s contribu tion to the galaxy of national demo cratic stars. This dinner will he spread by thi President in appreciation of the val uable services rendered the errantry by Mi. Underwood and of his masterful leadership in the accomplishment ol progressive and statesman-like legisla t ion. This, following on the heels of the wild charges of the gallant captair to the end that Mr. Wilson and Mr Underwood were not in accord on pro gressive and remedial legislation, has been a solar plexus blow to the ambi tion of the Sixth district congressman. So palpable did the captain make this charge and so palpable has It been re futed that the followers of the great destroyer of the MerHmac have lost their bearing completely. * Your Musical Progress depends absolutely upon your knowledge of its fundamental . priciples.

Allegations After expressing an opinion that “there was a nigger in the wood-pile” or words to that effect, Judge W. I. Grubb with held his decision In the case of Max Wink ler, charged with having committed a contempt of court in reference to the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, and will announce his decision tomorrow. It was alleged that the defendant was re sponsible fer the filing of a “moot” peti tion in bankruptcy for a negro named Davis Harris in order to throw the bank ruptcy case of tii© Colorado Loan com pany Into the court of Judge Alex C. Birch, referee. This charge was gen erally and specifically denied by the de fendant. The case went to trial yesterday morn ing at 10 o'clock in cue United States court before Judge Grubb. Robert N. Cell, district attorney, and his assistant, C. H. Kennemer, represented the gov ernment. The deft ndnnt’s counsel was Walker Percy* Judge C. C. Nesmith and A. G. Smith. Among the witnesses who testiiied were Victor Smith, R. Dupont Thompson. W. W. Crawford, Roy McCul lough W. J. Fleming, jfi. G. Chandler, W. R. Dillard. Charles Allison, .1. H. Barker, Dave Harris aid Pat Cade. At tire conclusion of the testimony for the government, Mr. Percy made a mo tion that the defendant be completely ex onerated by the court, declaring that the government had failed to produce an iota of testimony that connected the* defend ant with any Illegal dealings in the case. Judge Grubb stated in reply that he w’as convinced that tlie petition said to have been filed by the negro Harris w’as not filed voluniarlly by him and that it was instigated by someone else. If*' also stated that he had not made up his mind as to whether Mr. "'inkier had any illegal connection with it. After the noon adjournment Mr. Wink ler took the stand in his own behalf. He denied that he was in any way guilty of illegal practices in the filing of the suit and state] the case was taken in the regular order of business. He explained the circumstances leading up to the find ing of the petition and specifically denied every- allegation of the bill of complaint. At the close of the opening? argument by District Attorney Robert N. Bell, Mr. Percy stated that in his 30 years of prac tice he had never heard counsel for the prosecution ask a conviction on such a flimsy showing. Ho insisted that the government had failed to make out a case and said he should he discharged. He was interrupted during his argument by Judge Grubb, who repeated that he was still of ti e opinion that a fake petition or suit had been filed and that someone was guilty. Following Mr. Percy, Judge Ne. snnth read portions cf the defendant's answers and cited a number of authori ties bearing on the case In reply Judge P.ell stated that while actual proof had not been shown in some of the instances vet the reasons for filing ihe petition had been shown and*that an inference • ould be easily dm*vn ar, to its purpose. Judge Grubb again stared that there was something wrong a uit th. filing of the suit, but arncuno. d that ho would reserve his decision to be given at a later date. NEW REVOLUTION IN HAITI FEARED Washington, March 7.—Orders to the battleship South Carolina, now at Guan tanamo, to proceed immediately to Port Au Prince, gave rise today to fear that fresh revolutionary disturbances had oc curred in Haiti. The South Carolina had just reached Guantanamo from Port Au Prince when she was ordered to return. It was ex plained, however, that the orders were simply precautionary and that the state department had decided it would be un wise. in view of tile newness of the present Zanaor government, to leave the Haitien capital without an American war ship. The Nashville, now at Port Au Prince, lias been ordered lo Guantanamo for supplies.

Comer that the governor of Alabama may have shared in the division of the spoils of the Lacy steal ’’behind the capitol;” that ho betrayed the people of the state in the recent settlement of the railroad rate liti gation and all other accusations of the former governor will be answered by the <•1110! executive in « public speech at the Grand theatre here on Monday night, 1 March 16. The governor tonight declared that he had engaged the theatre for the purpose of replying to Mr. Comer's charges and intimated that his address would have no political significance. For several months past Mr. Comer has made reference to the governor in many of his public addresses, charging the chief executive with being allied with the whisky interests, and with various other corporate influences detrimental to the people of the state. Recently, Mr. Comer made reference to the Lacy steal, declaring that no defal cation of that nature had occurred during his administration, and that the princi pals had not gone “behind the capitol ' to divide the spoils. This latter statement, as well as many others, will be answered by the gover nor in his speech on March 16. Indications point to one of the largest crowds that has ever assembled at the opera house. SOCIOLOGY TOPICS HEARD YESTERDAY The following programme on practical sociology was carrietl out at the Birming ham High school yesterday morning: “Social Settlement Work."

The attention of the audience was marked by the highest interest throughout the discussion. Dr. J. H. Phillips requested the co-operation of the teachers of the public schools with the various agencies of social settlement work and charity organizations of the city. C. B. Glenn closed the meeting with the assignment of pay rolls to the prin cipals of the school and the meeting ad journed to assemble again April 4. when the following subjects will be discussed by assigned speakers: “The Influence of Women’s Organizations Upon the Home and “School Life of the Child,” "The In fluence of Discoveries and Inventions During the Uast Century.” -‘The Family and Social Progress."

Ed Crawford was Carlyle Courtney, the play's hero, and Miss Mary Mun ger portrayed the character of Eloisc Blackman, whom Courtney finally marries, after a stormy courtship. A. H. Ford was Mr. Blackman in the play and Mrs. Sid Bowie played opposite him as Mrs. Blackman. The principals wer, yesterday aft ernoon congratulated by more than 106 of their friends, who gathered at the Majestic theatre to witness the showing of the film. At no time during the play does the action drag. Those who had come with critical eyes found no flaw, either in the photography or the acting. Perhaps the most beautiful scene is that in the Venetian garden, taken at the Massey home, when Courtney de clares his love for Miss Blackman. The elopement scene which follows the re fusal of Mr. Blackman to give his con sent to the marriage was filled with thrilling dips, turns nnd drives. This j paj-t of I he film was taken under the most hazardous circumstances from the camera man’s point of view, as he was standing on tile hood of Courtney’s automobile in which the lovers were 1 scaping parental wrath and was ev ery mo me nt in danger of going over board.
