CHICAGO MEN IN DECATUR.
Express Themselves as We'll Pleased
 With the south.

Decatur, Nov. 2S.-(special) )-The Chicago Commercial Association dele gates on a trip through the South. arr rived in Decatur over the Louisville and Nashville Railway in special ears at 3:95 D. m. and were met at the Union Station. A delegation from tho Business Mems League, headed by Sec- retary W. J. Nesbit. who has arranged with the Southern Railroad for spe- cial observation fiat car. and engine to take them over the belt line of the Southern Railroad and show to the vis- itors the manufactory and various in- dustries located on the river front.
 E. R. Craiger, travelling freight agent, was present with the party and did everything to make the trip pleas ant.
 After returning to the city from the belt line, the party was taken over the city on the North Alabama Traction Company and shown the residence part of the city.
 Then the party visited and met per sonally the leading business men of the city.
 We are astonished to see such a great town" said one of the visitors. "and say this will be one of the great manufacturing towns of the South. The location and the natural advantages will make 1t so. We have been told of the South. but we didn't believe 1t so great. Now we want to say to you that half has never been told us."
 The party left at 11:45 D. m. for Nashville with three cheers for Deca- tur. the Southern Railway and the Business Mems League for the hospi- tality extended.

NO ACTION IS TAKEN
CASE OF MIR. sTERNFELD HAS NOT
 BEEN DECIDED.
Referee Charles H. Scott Vigorously Pressing the Name of K. J.
 Parsons for United States District Attorney.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-tSpecial. )- Attorney General Moody said this evening that he had not yet reached a decision in the case of Assistant United States Attorney Sternfeld Of Montgom- cry. He added that not until tomor- row, or possibly the next day. would he be ready to state what would be done.
 MT. Sternfeld and District Attorney Reese are still here. Most of the Ala bama Representatives now in the city not only think that the assistant short ly will be out of office, but they are also of the opinion that successor to the District Attorney will soon be named, and his name will not be Reese. Charles H. Scott. who had been in Washington for the past week. says that he is .unqualihedly for Erastus j.. Parsons of Coosa County for District Attorney. He admits. however. that he has grapevine telephone sugges- tion fhat5s instead of being appointed United states Marshal in place of L. J. Bryan, James H. Judkins may be named for District Attorney. Another name under consideration for the Marshall ship is that Of Joseph Burton of Mont gomcry.
 Mir. Scott contends that Mr. Parsons has done work for the Government pTdcIlCdlty Wituoub pay thos AsAsAAE titles him to appointment. He also says that Mir Parsons is highly sat isfactory to the lawyers of Alabama and others interested in having strong man appointed.
 Minority Leader Williams is anxious to transfer Representative Underwood of Alabama from the House Appropria- tions Committee to the Ways and Means, in the event Speaker Cannon allows the Democrats six members of the committee, as in the last House.
 MT Underwood, who has returned to the city after stay of six weeks in the West. is in the best of health. He says that whatever is done will be satisfactory to him. He is entirely satisfied with his present committee. but admits that 1t would be pleasant to go back on the Ways and Means, where he served some years ago. and which was then given to him in addi- tion to being on the all-important Rules Committee.
 If MT. Underwood is transferred to the Ways and Means Committee, it will probably be the only significant change so far as the Alabama delega- tion is concerned.
 Representative Bowie has entirely recovered from his spell of sickness. He was threatened with the grip, and was confined for nearly a week to his apartments.
 George H. Dent, Jr., and family left tonight for Montgomery to visit rela- tives. Alfred J. Stofer.
