JONES CANNOT ACT
 ON CONSTITUTION Measure Will Never Reach New
 Federal Judge
MIR. LONDON EXPLAINS CASE
Critics Have Said That Former Gov ernor Was Appointed Because He Would Declare New Meas
 ure Unconstitutional.

"So many things have been said in re- gard to what was the motive for the ap- pointment of former Governor Thomas Goode Jones to the district jndgeship" said Alex T. London yesterday, that l think the public mind should be put straight. minimizing persons have been saying that one reason was that Judge Jones would beclare the new Alabama constitution unconstitutional when the question came before him.
 ITO those who know Judge Jones well, as I have the pleasure of knowing him, such statements seem outrageous. Judge Jones by birth, character instinct and association Is probably the last man in Alabama who. under any circumstances, would intimate what his decision would be on any question. where the matter was to be submitted to him judicially. and is a reflection on one of the highest toned gentlemen in the State for such a thing to be attributed to him.
 'But apart from all this, the question could never be presented to Judge Jones. nor could he declare the new Alabama constitution unconstitutional The whole question was decided in Green vs. Mills by the District Court of Appeals for the Fourth circuit, Chief Justice Fuller de- livering the opinion of the court Os Fed eral Reporter. S6s) on bill to sn1oin registration under the South Carolina constitution on the same grounds as are now urged against the new Alabama con- stitution This disposes of the question as far as an injunction is concerned.
 If mandarnus were sought the Fed eral Courts, Circuit and District. have no original Jurisdiction to award a manda- mus in a case of this character. So there is no way for the question to come before Judge Jones.
 But even if such a case should come before him. presenting as it would so grave a question. a Circuit Judge of jus tice would undoubtedly be called on to sit, and the opinion of the ranking judge would be the opinion of the court.
 Judge Jones Is confessedty one of the most learned lawyers in the state. a fear less. fair minded. inoorruptible and honest man, whose appointment has given al most universal satisfaction in this state; and 1t does seem to me that thas appoint ment having been made. our own people might at least accord to the judge orr dinary decent treatment. and trust him as we have heretofore trusted him with the assurance that he will aot, as he has always acted in the past. according to the dictates of his conscience.
 Tn reference to the appointment by the judge of Democrats to the clerkships and other places within his power, 1t seems to me that the judges position, as stated in the newspapers, is the only one gentle man could assume under the circum- stances. and am at loss to understand how any one could criticise or censure him for that"

Varsity Team Disappointed "A
 Dream of Fair Women"

Tuscaloosa, Oct ober 21.-(Special) )-Great regret was expressed in Tuscaloosa last night and today when it was learned that the game of football between the University of Alabama and the UnAver- clared of The Alabama boys were ex- tremely anxious to meet the Tennesseeans and are of the opinion that the Untver- sfty of Nashville team did ont treat them quite as oourteously as they might have done, and 1t is reported that some warm words passed between members of the two teams in Birmingham when it be- came known that the game would be called off. The first game of the season which the Aiabania boys will play will be with the University of Mississippi. So far 1t has been impossible for the varsity boys to make a date with Auburn.

his Holiness that in no country in the Christian world can be found hierarchy or clergy or people more loyal and de- voted to the sovereign Pontiff, more te- nacious In Faith once delivered to the Saints,' more zealous in extending the kingdom of Christ than the Bishops and priests and laity of the United States. ' Be assured, Most Eminent Father. that our prayers and best wishes will follow you; may you enjoy in the eternal city that peace and tranquility which Is the fruit of mission faithfully accom- plished.'
 Dons the Beretta.
 At its conclusion Cardinal Gibbons de- scended from his throne and advanced to the front of the altar. accompanied by his attendants bearing the beretta Martinelli rose and, escorted by the members of the Noble Guard and the Papal Chamber lains. walked toward Cardinal Gibbons, before whom he knelt and bowed his head. Slowly lifting the beretta from the silver salvor upon which it rested, Cardi- nal Gibbons unfolded it and held 1t high, in order that the congregation might see it. Then, stooping and with what seemed to be softly murmured prayer, he placed it upon the head of the Cardinal-elect, who arose, and, advancing to the front of the altar, spoke as follows:
 MartinelIi's Reply.
 Most Eminent and Most Reverend Sir: Having been by the kindness of the Su- preme Pontiff made a member of the sub lime college of Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church. nothing could have pleased me more than to receive from Your Eminence, surrounded by this crowd of Bishops and illustrious personages the insignia of this honor and high dignity. It rejoices me to receive these signs of Pontifcal favor in this Metropolitan See, in which the example of apostolic zeal and pastoral care have done so much for the promotion of Catholic interests as well as the furtherance of all things which aid humanity and the glory of the nation.
 But you will permit me to add another reason for my happiness. find it in your continuous and untiring kindness to- ward me from the moment in which the command of the supreme pontiff I was placed at the head of the apostolic dele gaton. This and other considerations awaken in me a sphere of grati- tude toward Your Eminence. I beg, you then to accept thanks when I cordially offer you and not only to you, but to all the iIlustrious prelates and others who have come to honor this occasion by their presence do I offer the expressions of my sincere gratitude. M
 Meanwhile most Eminent Sir. I pray the great and good God long to preserve and bless you"
 Having concluded the address. the new fly made cardinal, who up to, this time had worn the vestments of an archbishop, re- tired to the inner sanctuary and in few moments returned clad in his cardinalian robes. Almost immediately afterward he
