SENATOR MORGAN
Says the Democrats Have Good Pres.
Dental Timber.

aShtial
Birmingham, Ala, July Ex-senator
John T. Morgan arrived here today and
is spending the night at the Morris hotel.
He was called upon by State Chairman
r. ]. Lowe, of the democratic party, and
number OF other prominent democrats,
who dropped in to pay their respects. So
far as is known, there was nothing like
a formal conference, but all talked pleas
antly When seen, Senator Morgan APP
peared in the best of spirits, and talked
freely upon his recent anti Bryan inter-
view, which was the result of a CONVERSE
ton he had with a Washington newspa-
per man, but said that it was substantially
correct. He declared that the thing for
the democrats to do was to get together,
and they can win easily There are many
things on which democrats agree and the
course for them to pursue, he asserted,
is TO unite on these things and victory is
sure. He thought that the battle could not
be won on a single issue, nor does he be-
lieve that the party is tied up to any one
man He laughed at the idea that he was
grooming German for the presidency say
ing that no doubt when German was 80
angry with him and his colleague for not
supporting the Spanish war treaty, -
never expected him (Morgan) to groom
him for president The senator added
that II had been suggested to him that he
was grooming Fitzhugh Lee. He said that
he had never seriously thought of Lee
before in this connection, but since his
name had been mentioned he had con.
cuded that Lee was one OF number or
available men whom the democrats had
Lee is a gold man, he added, but ne Is
loyal party man. and would do the bid
ding of a majority of thee party. He be-
lievei that he would make a strong candl-
date before the country. The senator also
asked what was the matter with Adlai
Stevenson He thought him available as
presidential material, a the same time
declaring that the democratic party had
plenty of presidential timber, but he did
net name Bryan. Regarding expansion,
the senator said that man who opposes
the war in the Philippines, where the best
blood of the country is being poured out
is simply fool. After the Filipinos have
shown that they are capable Of observing
law and order they can rely upon this
country treating them fairly, but mean
while they must be paciied. Regarding
the senatorship, he said that he was not
aware that he had any opposition IN MS
own party, but tina, II there was to be
fight he was ready for it, and would give
his opponent, whoever he might be, a
lively contest When his attention was
called to the fact that the Montgomery
Journal had read him out Of the senate
rial race, the senator laughingly remarked
that he was net aware of the location OF
the graveyard where Horace Hood editor
of the journal, buried his political dead,
The senator said he would be in the State
for some time. He will speak in Blrming-
ham on Board of Trade day. July 25, He
is in vigorous health and is full OF night,
He goes to Admission tomorrow.

INFORMATION FROM 4 RELIABLE SOURCE,
way Trninmcn Organised.
Judgment for Plaintiff.

Beaumont Texas, July 1.-THE Post
correspondent has 1t from reliable sources
that negotiations have been closed whereby
enc OF the largest and most completely
equipped educational institutions In the
South will be established on what is
known as the GLADYS City hill, about three
miles south OF the city. other than assur-
ing that this announcement could be made
as positive. and that the institution or
coliege. fer such 1t will be. Is to be es-
tahlshed by wealthy Northern syndi-
cate, the gentleman who disclosed the
information would say naught. He adj
mitted. however, that tho fact that the
college had been obtained was known to
several OF Beaumonts prominent citizens
who had for several weeks been quietly
working to secure the institution.
The Post correspondent questioned three
OF the citizens mentioned, but they refused
to divulge details They said. e>wever,
that information with reference to location
CT the college was correct and that the
building, ae VOL as the grounds would
be the pretiiest In the South, while the
educational facilities ard faculty would
be equal 10 any In the United States.
Tho site selected is an ideal location for
college. 1t Ia an elevated tract of land,
the only hill. In fact, In Jefferson county,
II is at present barren OF shade trees, but
on the south side there are three springs,
each one flowing a different kind OF min
enal water, the medicinal qualities of
which arc said to equal The water taken
from tho Sour Lake wells. On the side
OF the hill there Is also an iron pipe sunk
several feet In the ground from which
natural gas flows In quantities sufficient
TO make q flame three or four feet long,
and which burns continuously.
The hill lies between the Sabine and
East Texas and Kansas City. plttsburg
and Gulf railroads and is convenient To
either. But It Is also sufficiently close TO
Beaumont to make the college accessible
by electric cars. and in connection with
the school proposition II Is said company
has been organized to build and operate
an electric street railroad to the proposed
site.
