APPOINTED MIR. SPEAKE
HUNTSVILLE LAWYER TO PRE- SIDE OVER SIXTEENTH | CIRCUIT.
Governor Jelks Settled Contest By Telephoning His Selection From
 New York-Messers Beths
 and Ballantine Applicant.

Paul W. SpealSe. prominent young lawyer of Huntsville, is Judge of the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit.
 The appointment of Judge Speake was announced last night by Private secre- tary J. Kirkman Jackson, who had just received telegram from Governor Jelks authorizing the appointment.
 The Sixteenth Judicial Circuit is com- posed of Limestone and Madison Coun. ties. It was created by the last Legisla- ture. and Governor Jelks named Hon. Erie Pettus of Athens as Solicitor of the circuit.
 Since the act was signed by the Gov ernor, there has been a spirited contest between Paul w. Speake, James H. Bal lantine and Tancred Betts, well-known lawyers of Huntsville. for the judgeship.
 Numerous delegations from the two counties forming the circuit have visited the Capitol in the interest of one or the other applicants and the contest became matter of great interest inr political cir. cles.
 MT. Betts is Solicitor of Madison Coun- ty.Neither Judge Speake nor MT. Ballan- tine has ever held public office, but both have figured more or less prominently in North Alabama politics.
 When Governor Jelks went away to New York last Sunday 1t was expected that his announcement of the appoint- ment would be withheld until his return next week. The Governor however. re- alizing, perhaps. the great interest in his selection. telegraphed Private Secretary Jackson to announce that he had settled upon Judge Speake.

SHOULD COMMAND TROOPS.
Canada Now Under Control of the
 War Office.

Montreal, Oct. 23.-At a banquet ten- dered in his honor by the military of Montreal, Sir Frederick Borden, Minister of Militia, has made the following state ment regarding Canada's contributing tc the defense of the Empire:
 We owe a duty to Great Britain and have discharged that duty in the past by being prepared to take care of our own territory. I insist upon this and l have no hesitancy in saying it. that if the people of this country should see fit to expend money for military purposes or for purposes of defense, they shall have control of that money themselves and shall not hand the money over to anybody, whether 1t be the London Wa Office or the First Lord of the Admiralty to speak for them. That is the principle which lay down as consideration, and I believe 1t a sound principle. If we are able to defend our own country, We will contribute better than in any other way to the safety, maintenance and lntegrit! of the Empire
 Under the present system Canada's mil itary forces are under command of a British officer. The statement is regarded as most significant in view of the Alaskan boundary decision. Sir Frederick also an- nounced that the Government would es- tablish training department for 200 men in Montreal next year.

 The selection of a secretary and treasu- Ter was left to the Board of Directors, as he will doubtless be the executive of- ficer of the club.

Venezuelan Award May Be Based on
 Marif

Paris, Oct. 2.-United States Minister Bowen Is here consulting with the French representatives, relative to the prepara- tion of their cases against Venezuela be- fore The Hague arbitration court. The reported irritation of the members of the court towards the American agents is understood to have disappeared and the courts decision Is expected to be based on the merits of the case and not to be affected by personal feelings.
 Mir. Bowen expressed qualification at the adoption of the use of the English language in the arguments before the court which was in accordance with the claim of the American counsel The pro- tocols. MT. Bowen said, could not be modified by the court. t.,a
 If contrary view was taken no pro- tocol would be safe and the parties to an arbitration agreement. after signing 1t. would not be sure the agreement would be respected and the popularity of arr bitration would thus diminish.

FOR TINE KIDNEYS.

Brights Disease. Diabetes and Dropsy are admittedly and notoriously incurable either by the old allopathic, homeopathic or eclectic methods, or by the new osteo- pathic, vacuum, or electric treatment, yet they readily yield to Radam's Microbe Killer, the natural bacillicide remedy, simply because it neutralizes and de- stroys the consuming and infiaming ami nal germs to which they are due.
 It kills them off and makes them part of the fnanimate refuse of the system.
 E. Richardson. S5 Wrenham Street, Ja- maica Plain. Mass, writes Seven or eight years ago l suffered with what the physicians decided was Brght's dis ase of the Kidneys. My condition was so bad that I was obliged to spend much time in bed and tried various remedies without much benefit At last my condition be- came so bad that the physicians thought I might not live three months. It was at that time that my attention was called to the Microbe Killer and l decided l would take it until was killed or cured. Seven tugs did the business l never teit better in my life, and am now insured m one of the best life insurance companies In America.
