HUNDLEY MAY GET IT
APPOINTMENT OF FEDERAL JUDGE
 NEXT WEEK.
Booker WashlngtOn Has Endorsed Huntsville Man ana Friendship Of Secretary Loeb an. Regarded
 As Significant. M

washington, D. c. March 22-- -(Spe- cial. .)-The appointment of the new judge for the Northern District of Alabama is expected to be made next week
 From information had from Alabama Republicans opposed | Oscar R. Hundley, the nominee for District Att torney, and yet Inconfirmed, and can didate for the judgeship, the President is seriously considering if he may ap- point Hundley. It is said that Hund- ley's anti-negro education record in the Legislature is what the President is Just now looking into.
 Hundley has been making a stout de- fense of himself on this score.
 The same source of information has it that the President has admitted within the past two days that Booker Washington, who knows -iundIey's re- cord in the Legislature, still endorses him for judge.
 Undoubtedly the a. Hundley Re- publicana are uneasy. One of them said today: We notice this thing; the President may change his mind at any time, but Secretary Loeb does not change until he gets orders. The President may change before Loeb learns what to do Now, Loeb. up to dat> has been resenting any criticism of Hundley. That is an infaIlible sign that if the President -as changed his friendly attitude toward Hundley, Loeb don't know of it"

Is said to be used only in Argentina, Peru. Belgium and Turkey, and the Schmidt gun has only three lands in- stead of four. which the new Spring field rife has, and se bullets conse- quentiy would be differently marked. Secretary Taft notified the committee that should 1t desire further expert ev- idence on this subject. General Crozier and his assistants in the bureau of ord nance are at the disposition of the committee.
 When the committee convened today Senator Foraker called to the stand Lieutenant Hawkins and began an ex- animation of the witness concerning the reports of tests made at the Spring field arsenal of the cartridge shells found in the streets of Brownsville.
 During the sitting of ths committee a request wes received from the Sec retary of War for the return of the three bullets taken fvom walls of houses in Brownsville and submitted to the committee as an exhibit of the report of Assistant Attorney General Purdy.
 The War Department desired to have these bullets analysed in order to de- termine if possible whether army guns were used in discharging them and if so the numbers of such guns. In view of this request the committee decided to postpone the examination of expert witness and to adjourn until Monday as 1t is expected officers of the 18th Regiment will have arrived here from Fort Sam Houston by that time.

 Washington. March 22.-SecretA Taft todav transmitted to the Senate S,arnmittee on Military Affairs a report ef RriRadier General Crozier, chief or 1r65ance with reference to the num- hsr- af the, guns assigned to the negro soidiera of Companies B, C and D of the 2sfh Infantry. on the night of Aug. lS last, when, Brownsville. Texas was shot up."
 arai C,rozier that on the face of the iist of guns as forwarded by the conn handlers of the companies there were cArtain errors, arising probably rom mistakes in transcriblnR from the property books of the companies.
 The effect of this Is to raise doubt whether two of the guns held by ex- nert examination at the Springfield arsenal of shells picked up in the streets ot Brownsville. to have been used in the aftray, were in arms-chest of Company B, under lock and key and not issued to soldiers. as was indt- cated by the former report sent to the committee by the ordnance depart ment of the army4 In his letter transmitting General Crozier's supple mentary report, Secretary Taft says:
 sTt will be observed that this does not affect In the slightest the conclu- sions of Lieutenant Hawkins. the ex- pert who examined the shells and made further tests at the Springfield arse nal as to the numbers of the guns from which the cartridge shells found on the streets of Brownsville were dis charged. The lists of the guns num- bers as assigned to the men were not sent to Lieutenant Hawkins and were never in his possession. This matter only affects the question as to the GUS tody of those guns and the names of the enlisted men of the company to whom they were assigned, if to any of them"
 In order to remove the possibility of error Secretary Taft has ordered the property books of all three companies sent to the war department and he has notified the Senate committee that the book will arrive in a day or two He says 1t will probably be possible from them to correct the errors ap- parent on the lists as pointed out in the supplementary report of General Crozier.
 General Crozier's report gives in de- tall the numerous errors that were made in telegraphing the numbers of guns to Washington and explains the manner in which such mistakes could be made.
 Another report from the ordnance bureau of the army was sent to the committee by Secretary Taft, which shows that the ammunition for the new sprin Kfleld rife cannot be used in any other guns except the Mauser and Schmidt, either, the caliber or the fact that the Springfield ammunition uses hanged case. excluding all other arms. The type of Mauser which is adapted to the Springfield ammunition
