REPUBLICANS READY
ALABAMA FACTIONS SPLIT INTO
 THREE FACTIONS.
Foraker, Cortelyou. Taft and Roosevelt Be- Ing Favored-National Party Lead
 CTS Sounding Here

Birmingham. Dec. 15.--(speciai)- The first gun looking to sercuring delegates to the National Republican Convention to be held fin Chicago next year. will be fired in Alabama during this week. it Is stated, and if rumors are founded on anything like facts. the scramble will be hard one.
 Several prospective candidates are said to be wiring or sending representatives to Alabama to work up interest in the matter and incidentally secure delegates. All sorts of combinations are intimated and the lead CTS of the two factions are said to be re- ceiving a number of letters and teiegrams asking as to the situation. The adminis- tration at Washington has been recognizing Charles H. Scott. national Committeeman. and J. O. Thompson, chairman of one fact ion of the party. these two men being desig- mated as referees of the state.
 Recently. however. there appears to have been parting of the ways between Scott and Thompson and all has not been well. The other f4ction is headed by Jule David son and 1t is understood that he has been receiving the support of W. F. Aldrich, former congressman and also referee at one time of the president in this state.
 The Davidson faction appears to be in favor of Senator Foraker of Ohio. Scott and his following. 1t is said,, favor Secretary Cortelyou, while thompson and his fol- lowing are said to be favoring Roosevelt again and if the president will not desire the nomination or naming of the candidate then they are for Secretary Taft or Speak CT Cannon
 There appears to be an undercurrent feel ing among the administration republicans in this section of the state that President Roosevelt would not object to the nomina- tion being forced on him. Secretary Cor tslyou is due in the South in the near future and he has been invited to come to Birmingham and deliver an address for the Commercial Club and the Birmingham Clearing House Association. It is not ini- probable that tho visit will be extended to other portions of the South and to other parts of Alabama. Inasmuch as Alabama is the first state in the roll call, the dele- gates to the national convention from Ala baam are worth having It might start stampede.
 Jules Davidson. chairman of one faction. will get his executive committee together shortly. Thompson is expected to call a meeting of his committee also in the near future. The scramble for the delegates will then be on in earnest

ON SERIOUS CHARGE.
Young Man Arrested on Charge O
 Horse Sterling.

Horse SteTItmE.
 Columbus. Ga.. Dec. 15.-(SpeciaI. J. young man of good appearance giv- ing the name of John Lee, went to Gilbert's stables in this city and rent ed horse and buggy for the day. Night came but the young man did not. and the next morning the towns in this section were notified by telephone to look out for him. He was arrested yesterday at Opelika. Ala, by Sheriff John L. Moon of Lee County. and it was found that he had sold the horse to a man in that city for $75. During the morning the purchaser swapped the horse for another animal and $50 In money. In the meantime the young man who had carried the horse to Ope- lika spent a portion of the $75 he had received for a suit of clothing. It was thus a rather complicated state of af- fairs that Mir. Gilbert had to untan- gle when he went to Opelika. but the net result of it all was that the horse swap was cancelled the $50 was re- turned, the suit of clothing was given hack to the merchant and he refunded s15. the $75 was given to the first pur- chaser of the horse and Mfr. Gilbert was given his property and the young man was placed in jail on the charge of bringing stolen property into the county. He gave the name of John Allen at Opelika, but it seems that his real name is Charlie Chappell and that he is an Alabamian.
