JUDGE JONES IS ID
 HAVE CONFERENCE Understood That He Will Dine
 With the President TOsDISCUSS THE SITUATION Something Definite May Be Done About New Decatur Depot-Birmingham
 Fir: May Build the De-
 pot at Mobile.
TO DISCUSS THE SITUATION
BY HERvtY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery. December 31.-(Special.)- 1t is fully reported in Montgomery, and fully established as fact, that Hon. Thomas G. Jones, judge of the United States court will be one of party to dine and spend the evening with Presl- dent Roosevelt one day next week. When asked about the report Judge Jones said he could not discuss it; neither would he intimate whether or not there was any thing to the story. It is known. however, that the judge has made his arrange ments to take d trip about January 3. but he would net say where he expected to go. It is also generally accepted here that if Judge Jones were to give his in- dorsement to any application 1t would be almost Hike a democratic nomination in Alabama He has, however, positively refused to do anything of this kind, and will not indicate by word or writing his preference one way or the other on con- tests that are without the legitimate management of his court.
 Second Invitation.
 The report that Judge Jones has ac- cepted this invitation of the President came out through 8 gentleman from Washington who was in the city recently, and who indicated further that this is the second such bid within the past month, the first coming at time when the courts of the state demanded all the Judges time. He is said to have told the President that he would not be able to do so because of this occupancy of his time. :
 The truth seems to be that this little H.nner party of which Judge Jones Is to be part, will be composed of some of the leading men of the nation. close personal friends of the President, whose advice he values and often seeks. It is not known what will be discussed, but the impress sion is that the President desires to fa- maliarize himself with the interests of all the country, and has called his special friends from the four corners of the na- ltion to advise him.
 President Anxious.
 / Mir. Thomas H. Clark, superintendent Of the Jaw library of congress. who is in the city. says that there can be no doubt but President Roosevelt desires to do everything possible to see that the south receives the fairest of treatment at the hands of the national government. He has been seeking the advice of southern lgentlemen and has expressed his earnest Interest in every man in this section. The same thing was said a few days ago by hnother prominent Alabamian, who has Ibeen much in Washington lately. This gentleman said he had some business with

Not a Candidate.

What about the rumor that your name Is mentioned as a possible successor to Dr. Hughes, should a vacancy exist?''
 Tn the first place Dr. Hughes is going to be reappointed You may say, how ever that so far as my name being men toned in connection with the office 1t is idle talk, for even if Dr. Hughes, who is a personal friend of mine should decline to serve as postmaster, and the office was rendered me, I should emphaticaly decline it. In a few days I shall take the active management of the Citizens Savings Bank and Trust company and shall devote my entire time. thought and energy to the upbuilding of the institu- ton. So you will please deny all ru- mors, for they are nothing more than idle talk
 "In the event that the bondsmen should take charge, who would be named by them as a suitable man to serve as post master until an appointment is nader"
 T have never given this matter consid- eraton. If we were called upon to name someone I would be governed by the wishes of the majority of the bondsmen, and if they should select. or agree upon any one, I should then insist that J. O. Thompson and Charles H. Scott, the ref erees approve or endorse the man named.
 "Yes there are a good many very able and competent men both in the republi- can and the democratic party, and I have no doubt that very good man collld he selected" !"
