PATTERSON MAY BE
 TRIED IN ALABAMA
GEORGIA OFFICIALS WILL BE ASKED TO RELEASE A PRISON FER WANTED IN BIRMINGHAM FOR HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

Detective 8. A. Hamilton will go to At lanta this morning for the purpose or securing, if possible, John Patterson from the Georgia officials. He is wanted here for highway robbery in connection with Jim Latham and the Blackstock broth- CTS, Jim and John. who are now in the county jail awaiting trial.
 At the time these arrests were made several months ago Patterson, who was arrested in Atlanta, was wanted there for a small offense and was held for trial by the officials of that city.
 His case comes up in the Georgia court today and MT. Hamilton goes over to make an attempt to have the prisoner released to the Alabama courts. He hopes to be successful, and if he is will bring the prisoner back with him.
 It is thought that as the charge against Patterson in Atlanta is nominal the of ficials will nolle pros the case and turn him over to the Birmingham officials, as the crime for which he is wanted here is of a serious nature.
 The cases against Jim Latham and the Blackstock brothers have been set for trial early in May.

 The Rev. Father Kitrick was the cele- brant at high mass, and the Rev. Father coyle read in English the passion of the Lord Jesus according to St. Matthew. Father Coyle also read letter from the Right Rev. Bishop Allen. Owing to the fact that Passion Sunday services con sume more time than is ordinarily allotted to the last mass, there was no sermon.
 After high mass the board of trustees, Oliver Chalifoux, chairman, met at St. Pauls hall and transacted considerable business. The following members of the church were elected ushers and plate col lectors, the month after each name indi- eating that during that month the usher will be in charge as chief of the ushers and plate collectors:

Lieut. Col Hughes B. Kennedy, who has been in command of the Third regl- ment, Alabama National Guard since his election several months ago, has stated most positively that he was not candi- date for colonel Of the regiment to sue ceed Col. E. l.. Higdon, who was relieved of command for over two years.
 "So far as I know, W. H. McElroy of Anniston has no opposition for the place of colonel, and I am certain that he has my heartiest support. In fact. l was the first man who suggested Mir. MeKleroy for the place, and I had a long talk with him, urging him to allow his name to be presented.
 .'The election comes off this week, and he will be elected beyond doubt. I be- lieve that he is the best man we could secure for the place, and l would not think of opposing him. With IS election the entire regiment should be on the best basis 1t has had for years, and it should be rapidly built up. All the officers will work with the new colonel for the good of the service"

CHIEF OF POLICE
 WEIR ON GAMBLING
SECRETARY c. c. MlTCHNER OF NEW YORK ALSO TALKS ON THE GREAT EVIL OF THE TIMES.

Chief of Police w. E. Wier addressed the Young Mems Christian Association at S;sO o'clock yesterday afternoon on the subject of gambling.
 It was the last of series of three talks on the vices of Birmingham which the chief has given the association, and the gymnasium hall was crowded to overflow ing.
 C. c. Mitchner of New York city, inter- national secrtary of the association in the industrial department, was present and made a very interesting talk follow ing Chief Wier.
 Chief Wier spoke at length on the evil eeffcts of gambling, and among other things said that of the three evils he had been asked to discuss before the asso- citation, gambling was, in his opinion, the worst of all and constituted the quickest and surest road to ruin.
 He condemned, in strong terms, the social game m the homes where the first love for the phantom of chance Is bred, and painted an impressive word picture oI the widening road to ruin and often suicide that too often begins In the quiet home circle.
 He stated that hundreds of young men every year lost positions of responsibility, their character and respect through the evil influences and the blasting conse- ouences of this damning habit and many young men, even in Birmingham had, he said, been led to suicide, if not suicide, irreparable disgrace.
 Chief Wier advised strongly against the social game of chance asserting that the vice was so fascinating that it was hard for a young man to resist the temptation to extend his operations and become a professional gambler.
 c. c. Mitchner, International secretary of New York, was introduced and strong ly indorsed every word that Mir Wier had spoken, adding that 1t was almost inn possible for the young man who gambles to hold positions of responsibility. Sooner or later the vice is found out and the young man is lucky if he merely loses his position without public disgrace.
 c. H. Boorman tri-state secretary of the Young Mems Christian Association for Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana and Secretary Mitchner are touring the three states organizing associations in indus trial centres.

REPUBLICAN, POLITICS
Washington Correspondent Intimates Something Will Drop In Alabama

The Washington correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune says:
 There Is going to be mighty snuff ling of republican cards in Alabama and a new deal all around. Not today or to- morrow nor the next day, but before long, snd President Roosevelt will probably see that a square deal Is had Things have not been going to suit the President in that state and something is going to happen before his return to Washington. It Is no longer a secret that the reason federal patronage in Alabama has been delayed is due to the desire of the dom inant faction leaders that the Alabama situation be thoroughly understood by the President before slicing the pie. For example, no presidential postoffice ap- pointments, save at Birmingham. have been made this year. and the reason is that President Roosevelt wants to look further into things before his awards. AL though the black and tan wing of the re- publican party in Alabama is practically in control of federal offices, the lily whites comprise the bone and sinew of the party's fighting strength.
 Colonel Moseley, secretary of the Inter- state Commerce Commission, vast sent down to Alabama some time ago to study the situation and report to the President, but it develops that the Coloners appaise- ment of political values was misleading, snd to that extent unsatisfactory. Hence there must be another sizing up of things
 "It is said here that Postmaster Buckley at Montgomery will probably be reappointed. and that Postmaster Barker at Mobile stands in the way of the light ming. Since the order of the President compelling all federal office-hoders to re- sign from political committees. MT. Bar ker has severed his connection with the republican organizations. Other post masters in Alabama have pursued sim liar course.

After il lustrating with the example of the farm CTS. one of whom complained of the one crop that failed, while the other re- joiced in the three successful ones, Dr. Curry displayed the utter folly of com plainlng when something always exists for which we can praise God.
