NO APPOINTMENTS
Henderson to Keep Promise
Relative to Patronage.
Has Not Yet Consid
ered Applications ,
Montgomery, January 54.— imperial.)
Governor Henderson will keep Ills
promise relative to deferring all ap
pointments until after the session of
the legislature. The chief executive
told The Age-Herald correspondent
yesterday that ho had been too busj
•inee assuming the office of governor
to give any consideration to the vari
ous applications for state offices snd,
moreover, that he had had no inclina
tion to take up the question of appoint
ments.
This was in line with his statement
to a group of newspaper men on the
following the Inauguration, at
time he declared that he thought
Id be unwise to make any ap
ments until after the present leg
ve session.
But however fixed In his determina
tion not to make any appointments at
this time, it is certain the governor is
having such matters brought to his at
tention every day. Hundreds of ap
plications for office have been sub
mitted to the executive, and scores of
applications for office have been sub
mitted to the executive, and scores of
persons have called on him either in
the interest of themselves or in be
half of friends. But through it all the
governor has not swerved from his
sarly determination.
Some Probable Appointments
When the governor has time to take
up the question of appointments he
will probably name G. O. Waites or
Covington county, a. former business
partner and a prominent lumberman In
south Alabama, to the office of presi
dent of the board of convict inspect
ors, to succeed Hartwell Douglass. Mr.
K Waites’ appointment Is practically as
Afured.
M Another probable appointee is Alex
f E. Walker, to succeed himself as hank
superintendent. Mr. Walker Is likely to
be retained in offlee because of the
large demand on the part of his friends
and the various banks of the state,
over which he has supervision. His
indorsement has been of a most flat
tering nature.
To the office of adjutant general,
Governor Henderson is expected to ap
point Col. Graf Hubbard of Troy, com
mander of the First regiment, Alabama
National Guai-d. It is believed that Col
onel Hubbard can get the place if he
wants it.
However, it is likely that Colonel
Hubbard will have opposition for the
office In the person of Col. E. U. Jack
son of Montgomery, a. member of the
former governor's staff. While Colonel
Jackson ha.s not. made application tor
the offlee. it is known that his friends
Ilontgomery will urge his appolnt
I. Colonel Jackson is one of -ho
t experienced military men in Ala
a. and is one of the most popular,

his appointment.
it it is too early to discuss the
irnor’s appointments. The term of

the creating of a convict commission,

According to reports.
On the whole, therefore, the legisla
ture is not so much bent on cutting oft
state departments as was at first re
ported. When the legislature con
vened the lawmakers, certainly the ma
jority of them, were inspired by twe
motives. The first was statewide pro
hibition and the ser-ond was retrench

upon securing legislation looking ;<* re

GERMAN CHANCELLOR
EXPLAINS STATEMENT
AS TO BELGIAN TREATY
‘‘I Am Surprised to Learn My Phrase, ‘A Scrap of Paper,’ Has
Caused So Much Unfavorable Comment,” He Says.
Meant That England Had Violated Treaty.
Why Germany Thinks England Entered
the War
_«_
General Field Headquarters of the Ger-1
man Armies, Tn France, Via Berlin and•
London, January 24.—(4:20 p. m.)—"I am
surprised to learn that my phrase, 'a
scrap of paper,’ which l used in my last
conversation with the British ambassador
in reference to the Belgian neutrality
treaty, should have caused such an un
favorable impression in the United States.
The expression was used in quite an- i
other connection and the meaning implied
in Sir Edward Goschen’s report and the
turn given it in the biased comment of
our enemies undoubtedly are responsible
for this impression.”
Dr. Theobold Von Bethmann-Hollweg,
German imperial chancellor, made this
statement to a representative of the Asso
ciated Press in a villa at the German
field headquarters in northern France, -
serving as the office and dwelling of
the chancellor, the foreign minister, Goot
lieb Von Jagow, and the diplomatic suite
accompanying Emperor William afield.
The chancellor explained that he had
spoken of the treaty, not as a scrap of
paper for Germany, but as an instru
ment which had become obsolete through
Belgium’s forfeiture of neutrality; and
that Great Britain had quite other rea
sons for entering the war, compared with
which the neutrality treaty appeared to
have only the value of a scrap of paper.
“My conversation with Sir William
Goschen,” said the chancellor, "occurred
August 4. I had just declared in the
Reichstag that only dire necessity and
only the struggle for existence compelled
Germany to march through Belgium, but
that Germany was ready to make com
pensation for the wrong committed.
Had Abandoned Neutrality
"When I spoke I already had certain
indications, but no absolute proof that
Belgium long before had abandoned its
neutrality in its relations with England.
Nevertheless, T took Germany's respon
sibilities toward the neutral states so
seriously that l spoke frankly of the
wrong committed by Germany.
"What was the British attitude on the
same question? The day before my con
versation with Ambassador Goschen, Bir
Edward Grey had delivered his well
known speech in Parliament in which,1
while lie had not stated expressly that
England would take part in the war,
he had left the matter in little doubt.
"One needs only to read this speech
through carefully to learn the reason for
England’s intervention. Amid *H Ms
beautiful phrases about England's honor
and obligations we find it over and over
again expressed that England’s interest—
its own interest—call for participation in
tin* war, for it is not in England’s in
terests that a victorious and, therefore,
stronger Germany should emerge from,
the wfar.
"This old principle of English policy—
to take as the sole criterion of its ac
tions its private interests regardless of
right, reason or consideration of hu
manity—is expressed in that speech of
Gladstone’s in 1870 on Belgian neutrality,
from which Sir Edw’ard quoted.
"Mr. Gladstone then declared he was
unable to subscribe to the doctrine that
the simple fact of the existence of a
guarantee is binding on every party there
to, irrespective altogether of the par
ticular nosition In which It may find It
l self at a time w hen the occasion ;for
l action on' the guarantee arrives; and lie
referred to such English statesmen as
Aberdeen and Palmerston as supporters
of his view's.
Interest Demanded War
"England drew the sword only because
It believed its own interests demanded
it. Just for Belgian neutrality it would
never have entered the war. That is
what I meant when I told Sir William
Goschen that among the reasons which
had Impelled England to go into the
war the Belgian neutrality treaty had
i
for her only the value of a scrap o
saper.
“I may have been a bit excited anc
iroimed; who would not have been a
seeing the hopes and the work of tin
whole period of my chancellorship go
ng for naught? 1 recalled to the am
mssador my efforts for years to bring
ibout an understanding between Eng
and and Germany which would make t
ireneral European war impossible. Sue!
in understanding would have formed th*
>asia on w hich we could have approached
he United States as a third partner. Bu
England had not taken up this plan, anc
h rough Its entry into the war destroyec
'orever the hope of Its fulfillment.
“In comparison with such momentou
consequences was the treaty not a sera]
>f paper? England ought really to oeas*
larping on this theme of Belgian neu
:rality. As you know. w*e found in th*
irehives of the Belgian foreign offic*
locuments showing that England in 101
va« determined to throw troops into Bel
jflum without the assent of the Bclgiai
government if war had then broken out
r. other words, to do exactly the sam
thing for which with all the pathos o
virtuous indignation it now reproache
Germany.
“In some later dispatch Sir Ed wan
3rey, I believe, informed Belgium he di<
lot believe England would take such ;
step because he did not think Englisl
nubile opinion would justify the action
\nd still people in the United States won
3er that I characterized as a scrap o
3aper tho treaty whose observance, ac
wording to responsible British statesmen
should be dependent upon the pleasur*
>f public, opinion—a treaty which Eng
land itself had long since undermine*
with its military agreements with Bel
Slum.
“Remember, too, that Sir Edward Gre;
expressly refused tp assure us of Eng
land’s neutrality, eveh in the event tha
Jermany respected Belgian neutrality.
?an understand, therefore, the Englisl
displeasure at my characterization of th
treaty as a scrap of paper, for this sera
of paper was for England extremely val
uable. furnishing an excuse for embark
Ing In the war.
• T hope, however, that in the Unite*
States you see clearly enough that Eng
land acted solely on the principle o
‘right or wrong— my interest.’ *’

FOOD ARRANGEMENTS
IN BELGIUM COMPLETE
New York, January 24.—The commis
sion for relief in Belgium was noti
fied today by H. C. Hoover, chairman
at London, that the food distribution
arrangements had been entirely com
pleted, and that the commission now
was able to reach virtually every cor
ner of that part of Belgium known as
the “occupation zone.’’ As occasion
offers, attempts are being made io pen
etrate the territory occupied by the
German active fighting army.
“We already have an office at Maas
tricht, from which wo distribute south
ward towards Liege and Namur and
westward into the province of Lim
burg." said Mr. Hoover. “At Husselt,
provincial capital of Limburg, we have
an office whore the commission for
relief, jointly with the committee national
officials, controls distribution through
out Limburg. We have opened ware
houses at four points In Limburg, from
which issues of food are made to the
communes.
“The northern half of Limburg is
short of food but the southern half
still has more or less to go on with
and it. has not been necessary for us
to do much there. This province is
well taken care of and is one of the
easiest for us to handle because the
canals are navigable practically all
over the province.”

Apparition Visits Elks’ Home According to Ed O’Hagar and
Causes Two Vacancies 111 the Porterial Staff
Br CHAHlili H. MAKbY
Humor has 11 that the iiaKs nome i
on the corner of Eighth avenue* and ]
Nineteenth street is haunted. The Elks’ i
club is the last place in the world I
that one would expect to be haunted i
by a spook, for it is the home of good t
cheer and fellowship and happiness and
charity, while ghosts are usually con
nected with dark and dreary and de- i
serted places.
There is no doubt about the ghost <
at the club house, however, for no less <
authority than Edward O'Hagan, the
Turk from Boston, and assistant sec- t
retary of the lodge avers that he has 1
seen it on several occasions.
The story came out the other night ,
while a party of Elks were seated In t
the cafe swapping '‘yarns." The night
was ideal for ghost stories. it was
dark and stormy. The rain was falling
in torrents and gusts of wind from Mine
to time shook every window In the
building. It was also nearing the. mid
night hour.
Someone mentioned ghosts, which im
mediately brought the statement from
George Rattermann that while living
in Cincinnati, he was "out just such a
night as this," and that on his way
home he encountered a ghost, lie de
scribed it minutely, staling it wore
horns and a beard.
"1 heard about that incident." said
John McCarty, "and my information is.
that on investigating the matter the
next morning, a Bock beer sign was—
George interrupted and denied the
correctness of Mac’s statement posi
tively and emphatically In the choicest
Cincinnati Dutch.
Then up spoke Ed O'Hagan, "You fel*
lows may not know it, but this *lub
is haunted."
"What’s that," came in startled tones
from half of the party.
"It is a positive fact," answered Ed,
“this place is haunted. On several oc
casions, just about 12 o’clock. I have
seen a spook cross the billiard hall,
(hero several of the fellows glanced
at the door, then at their watches. It
was 11:15.1 It has the form of a beau
tiful young lady dressed in a flowing
gown of some forgotten style. It in
variably crosses the billiard hall, pass
ing through the tables, chairs and all
and seats itself on the nearest table
to the cafe. With hands clasped across
its knees, it glances around the room
as though looking for someone and
gtadually disappears."
Ed was told to go chase himself.
nai it was not true, mat ne was si in
dy dreaming, and comments of a like
character, but the ones nearest the bil
liard hall moved on the other side oC
he table, just the same. Ed xnaln
ainod that his story was true, and still
nslste it is. 'I
During the recital of the story, the
wo negro porters on duty were seen
o draw near the cafe door. As Eel
[escribed the apparition, their eye*
•pi ned wid<* and unmistakeable anx*
ety was depicted on their ebony coun
enances. They glanced fearfully in.
he direction of the billiard hall and
vere evidently much ill at ease.
The story concluded, Ed ordered on a
>f the negroes to go downstairs and
>rings some provisions from tho
•an try.
“Axin’ yo' pawdon, sah.“ said tho
larkey, “bnt yo’ shore ain’t talkin’ tpr
ne ’bout goin' down stairs, yo' shore
lin’t.” -
“You do as 1 tell you, or you ar^
’ired,” replied Ed. !
“Yassah, boss, but hit are not nec’
lary, ’cause I done fired mahself \vhe|
•’o’ tole 'bout dat hant. Mali resigna

“Why. you crazy nigger, nothing tfl
going to hurt you,”
“Hit shore ain’t if 1 gets, er c-hunct

Jim was the other negro porter. Ho
lad disappeared, however, and tho
dea is that he sneaked out on the baN
’ony and dropped on the lawn and do*
tarted.
The remaining porter stayed close t<*
;he crowd until the club was closed.
FTe fairly flew when he got outside and
neither of the darkeys have been seen
