RACES FOR CONGRESS-
ONLY THREE CONTESTS FoH
 NOMINATIONS.
Campaigns in the Second, sixth and Seventh Districts-Coionel A. A. wiley will Undoubted-
 lv Have Opposition.

T, only three of the Congressional Dis tricts of the State will there be contests for Congressional honors in the primary oo,rnaign which ends April Il. The Sec ond Congressional District in which Mont romery County Is located, is confidently exnected to furnish one Of the contests, although there is not yet announced any opposition to Colonel A. A. Wiley. the in- cumbent.
 Hn. Bibb Graves, Representative in the Legislature and ex-City Attorney of Montgomery, is expected to make the race against Congressman Wiley
 MT. Graves has not formally stated that he would be a candidate. To inquiries as to his intention he says he has not fully determined on his course and that he is not at this time ready to make public an- nouncement of his candidacy. Friends who are in his confidence say that in all probability Mir. Graves will make the race. It Is known that the sentiment of the voters of the. Second District, espe- cially in Montgomery County, have been we'll sounded as to the result of a con- test of Colonel Wiley's seat by MT. Graves.
 The other two fights are already. on. They are located in the Sixth District where Captain Richmond Pearson Hoo- son of naval fame. is opposing the renom-
  the Seventh District where Hon. John A. Tusk is fighting for the seat of Congress- man John l.. Burnett. Captain Hobson inaugurated his campaign several months ago. He has friends actively at work in his behalf and he is himself conducting an aggressive campaign. He is speaking in every County of the District and he has issued a challenge to Congressman Bank head to public discussion of governmental yad fccn k- head has served that District in Congress for eighteen years.
 The fight in the Seventh District is es- pecially lively. Mir. Lusk during the last Legislature. in which he represented Mar shall County. became known as an ag- gressive, almost vindictive. fighter. His principal campaign issue against Con- gressman Burnett is based on the charge that the latter rode 10 Washington on free passes, but collected mileage award ed by Congressional statute. MT. Burnett is himself a ready and effective speaker and a lively time is expected in the Sev- enth District which Is the stormiest of the State.
 The Seventh District is the only one in Alabama in which the opponents of the Democratic party have even the vestige Of hope. -...
 In the remaining six districts of the State all Is calm and serene. There is no opposition to the present Congressman. All will be elected by unanimous vote in the April primary
 This means the renomination and re- election of Congressman George w. Fay Tor in the First District, Congressman H. D. Clayton in the Third District. Con- gressman Syd Bowie in the Fourth Dis trict Congressman Charles W. Thompson in the Fifth District, Congressman Will liam Richardson in the Eighth District and Congressman Oscar Underwood in the Ninth District.

Montgomerians Preparing to Meet
 Birmingham Tam.


 Birmingham Tam.

 Mir. Fry has received the lineup of the Birmingham team whom the local boys are to play Wednesday at Birmingham. Tho two Jones boys, Perkins and Chair sell of last years team will probably ap- pear in the game with the fifth position to be 1illed from the following: Beddle, Ware, Johnson. Berry. Hood McCartin, Byrd and Hunt.
 The first and second teams played a practice game last night at the gym and the first team Is showing good form. Big Pat was not in the game. He Is not talk ing any risks with his arm but will be in the game at Birmingham. Tisdale was in his place at right forward last night and made eight nice goals. The team is play ing well together and the score of the game last night shows that the boys have their eyes on the baskets. By the time of the Howard game here next week the team should be in top form and make the collegians hustle to win. The score last night was as follows:
 Reds-Locke, Tisdale, Alley. Hood and Ivey. Goals from field, Tisdale. 8; Locke, {, Alley, 4 Ivey. Fouls made, 6.
 Blacks-Dahlberg. Clapp, Davis, Solo, mon and Fry. Goals from field, Fry 3; Davis, Clapp. Fouls made, 4.

 The dispatches from Ministers Hart and Beaupre from Bogota show that the meddling of representatives of Euro pean governments had much to do with the failure of the Colombian Congress to ratify the HayHerran canal treaty.
 Germany, especially, it is said, worked | secretly at Bogota to block the plans of the United States to secure the Pan anna canal.
 The correspondence also indicates that a representative went from Bogota to Berlin for the purpose of seeking to sell. either to the German government direct or to a syndicate of capitalists representing the government the shares of stock owned by Colombia in the new Panama Canal Company. and to encour- age the purchase of that company's con-

 Among the documents are cablegrams calculated to prove that Germany sought to acquire from Colombia an island in the harbor of Carthagena for coaling station, notwithstanding tine Monroe doctrine.
 This island would enable that power to virtually control the canal when con structed. Minister Hart promptly noti- fled the State Department of those nego- ! tiations. It is indicated that the assem- bling of a large American fleet in Carib- bean waters was first brought about by anticipated action from the French gov ernment in sending warships to Colon to protect the canal property, representa- tions having been made at Paris that 1t would be threatened by a revolution
