ings of the United States court on the apeaIed case contesting the constitu- uonality of the State constitution as fl relates to the negro votes. It will be renemoered that the negroes of the State raised sufiicient funds to carry the case to the United States Supreme Court after which northern Sympathizers took a hand and contributed additional funds to push the case: It was filed with the court on the 24th Of last month and a decision time
 The negroes in the State claim that Judge Day will render the opinion of the court and they claim to be assured that 1t will be favorable to their con tentton for recognition. It Is understood Che negroes will proceed with their organization. select a State committee and formulate plans for a State conven- ton, probably in this city. Delegates to the national convention will be selected and white men will be pushed to the fore to give the movement prestige The dele gation to the national convention will be favorable to the re-nomination of Presi- dent Roosevelt.
 The claim was recently made through press dispatches, that Colonel Xoungblood, ". F. Aldrich. referee: P. D. Barker of Mobile and others were in Washington for the purpose of deposing other federal office-holders. Colonel Youngblood re- turned to the city this morning and stated that he had been In Washington. New but that politics did not figure at all in his trip. He denied having seen any of the politicians in Washington. the Presi- dent, Postmaster General or any cabinet officer. He stated that his trip was one Of a purely business nature and that MT. Barker of Mobile. was interested with him. He said he knew of nothing addi- tonal in the political situation.

At a well-attended meeting of the con- missioned officers of the End infantry. Ala bama National Guard, held Sunday in the armory of the Montgomery Blues, it was decided to work systematically for the equipment of the regiment under the pro- visions of the Dick bill; to organize n so- cial club of the officers of the regiment. and Mobile was voted to be the choice of the officers of the regiment as a place for encampment this summer.
 The meeting went on record as favoring an examination of commissioned officers.
 The meeting was called by Colonel E. H. Graves, who commands the regiment, primarily to take steps towards having the 2nd equipped with magazine rifles un- der the Dick bill. It was decided by the officers that one of their number should be sent to Washington as an agent of the regiment, if it was necessary.
 Those present at the meeting were Col. E. H. Graves, Major Charles F. Ander- of Selma, Captains w. T. Sheehan, Tyler Qoodwyn, Dudley c. Williamson. F. F. Baber of Montgomery, D. P. Wilson of Demopolis, J. A. Alexander of Prattville, D. B Mckenzie of Eufaula, H. H. Curt wright of Tuskegee. w. R. Archibald of Montevallo and E. P. Coulter of Phenix City, Lieutenants Taylor, Bayne, Weiss, Simpson of Montgomery, Ballowe of Phe- nix City, ,sGriffln and Abercrombie of Tus- kegee.
 Colonel Graves presided over the meet ing and Capt. D. c. Williamson acted as secretary.
 Colonel Graves reviewed briefly the pro- visions of the Dick military act which have gone into effect and called particular attertHn 'a the feature providing for the eQuipmeE, :''o National Guard. Ceor- gia, he said. had succeeded in securing the equipment of its troops. He thought that the End should take steps towards obtaining magazine rifles and such other equipments as 1t might need
 After some discussion, Capt. W. T. Sheehan offered a resolution declaring that 1t was the sense of the meeting that immediate efforts should be made to have fits of the Dick bill. The resolution pro- vided for the naming of an agent of the regiment who should confer with Adjutant General Brandon and Governor Jelks as to the best steps to be taken, and the res olution further provided that the agent should go to Washington, if necessary, the companies of the 2nd pledging them selves for the payment of his expenses. The resolution was adopted and a com mittee of three was appointed to carry out its provisions. The committee named Baber and Lieutenant Taylor.
 Colonel Graves said that 1t had been suggested to him that an officers club of the End be formed to promote social inter- course between the commissioned officers of the regiment. It was embodied in the club idea he said, that an annual banquet of the officers should be held in Mont gomery The club, he said, would also provide some extra entertainment for the

 Mfr. Haygod was named for Alderman at Large at the city election two years ago by Ea large and very hattering vote. He has been Tone of the most punctual members of the hCouncil
 The race for Alderman at Large is dividing ednterest with the mayoralty contest It is sec- kond in interest to the fight for the more im- Hportant place of Mayor. Three Aldermen are hto be elected from the city-at-large. Voters Efn each ward will ballot for three Aldermen a6ron the city-at-large

 The city registration office is located at II7 North Perry Street. The office yesterday re- sembled nothing much a polling place on election day. The scenes about the place Swere as interesting if not as exciting, as those about polling place on election day Zach Of the candidates for Mayor and many oi tthe aldernanic candidates spent a part of the vkday at the registration office. The mayoralty arandidates had. moreover. stationed challeng ters at the registration office and the right oi every applicant to register was closely scruti ynized. A number of applicants chal '1enged and had to go home after their poll taa Teceipts and life registration certificates.
 The books of the city registrars will be oper two weeks In that time every voter must regis Ger to be able to participate in the municipal election.
 The possession of lie certificate of regis tratIon from the county registrars does not oi itself entitle the holder to a vote in the rnu- ncipal election.

OFFICERS OF SECOND INFANTRY
 PLAN FOR NATIONAL EQUIP MENT
Al Meeting in Montgomery Sunday They Organized Social Club and Suggested Mobile
 as Place for Camp.

officers while in the annual practice
 The club idea met with instant favor. and 1t was adopted by unanimous vote. the officers of the club while the officers were assembled. The following officers were elected without opposition: Presi- dent Tyler Goodwin, Montgomery; D. F. retary, and D. P. Wilson of Demopolis, Treasurer.
 A resolution raising committee of three to complete the organization of the club was adopted. On that committee Cap tains Goodwin and aSheehan and Lieu tenant Taylor were named.
 The question of having officers of the National Guard of Alabama to stand an examination as to efficiency was brought up for discussion.
 Colonel Graves said that he desired to secure the sentiment of the officers as to a proposed law requiring all officers elect ed in the future to stand examination showing their qualifications for com mission. The proposition was discussed at some length, but 1t was finally endorsed by a unanimous vote. A bill will prob ably be introduced at the next meeting of the Legislature providing for an exam ination of commissioned officers after their election.
 By an overwhelming vote, the officers declared Mobile their preference as a place for the summer camp of the regi- ment. By an equally one-sided vote, the officers went on record as favoring a regimental camp in preference to brig ade camp. The question of a brigade camp or a regimental camp will be de- cided finally by a conference between the Governor, the AdJutant-General and the regimantal commanders, which will also decide where the various regiments will camp this summer.
 Colonel Groves announced the appoint ment of Major Charles R: Bricken as the Summary Court for breakers of military discipline for the 2nd during the summer camp.
 He also announced his intention of awarding special honors to the company evidencing the highest state of efficiency in camp. The company, he explained. would be given the post of honor on all State occasions.
 Captain Mckenzie suggested that flag be obtained to be drilled for at each sum- mer camp. He thought that tho ladies ot some city in which there was a com pany of the End would donate such a flag. This flag, he said, should be awarded to the best company in a competitive drill. and 1t should remain in the possession of the winning company until the next . camp. He put his suggestion into reso- lution, and 1t was adopted.
 A committee consisting of Captains Williamson. Alexander and Lieutenant At the conclusion of the meeting the officsfs, upon invitation of Captain Good wyn. visited the ElkS Club. The officers were later escorted to the Glenmore Ho- tel. where they were the guests of the Montgomery offers a. dlightful dinner. Most of the officers returned to their homes Sunday evening.

At a largely attended meeting of the association here yesterday George Tunkle of Augusta, Ga, delivered an ad- dress favoring the establishment of head quarters in the South. The Zionists have hopes of purchasing a large tract of land in the Palestine and there coloniz- ing downtrodden and poor Jews from all parts of the world. It is stated that very few Jews in the South will take advan- taRe of the colony when 1t is established. The meeting here yesterday was. how ever, very significant. Effort will be made to locate the headquarters in Birming- ham if it should be decided to have head quarters South.
