 for Delegate to National Convention.

Former Governor Joseph F. Johnston mas given the following interview to B.r- rningham newspapers outlining his pres- ent political position:

take charge immediately after the ap- pointment.
 No statement as to the exact condition of the bank can be secured until the trustee takes charge. It Is the general opinion. however, that the depositors will receive large per centage of the amount due them. Some think that the depositors will be paid in full, while a conservative estimate Is that they will receive at least 75 per cent of the full amount. It will of course, be some time before the depos- itors can realize anything on their de- posits, but 1t is not likely that the fall ure of the bank will cause any failures in business here.
 The loss will fall heavily on the stock holders, most of whom are widows. It Is currenly reported that $42.000 of the Sb0.0OO capital stock is owned by widows, and to one or two the loss will mean their all.

CLUE TO ROBBERS.
Men Who Took Booths Clothes May
 Be Down River.


 The Montgomery police have a clue which they believe may lead to the ar rest of the three men. who on Satur- day night held up and robbed Robert Booth of Salt Lake City, of his money and effects and nearly all of his raj ment.
 A pair of worn trousers has been found dirk has been discovered. The pair of worn trousers and the dirk were found under a pile of wood in the Nixon lum- Der yard near the scene of the crime A boat belonging to the Nixon Lum- Der Company is missing.
 By these things a Montgomery sleuth deduces the conclusion that the three men who robbed Booth are floating down the Alabama river with Booths money and Booths clothes.
 Anyhow, Chief of Police Gerald has sent messages down the river to watcA out for three men in a boat wearing clothes.
 Booth is looking for work in Mont gomery.
