|HUNDLEY UP TREE
MAJORITY OF sUB-CoMMTTTEE
 AGAINST HIM.
General Pettus Gives Out Interview in Which He Declares One of Re-
 publican Members Opposes
 Oscars E0nSsrnataon.

Washington, Jan.' 14.--(Special.) )-- The Senate Judiciary subcommittee made no report today to the full Com mittee on the case of Oscar R. Hund- ley because of the absence of Senator Dillingham;.
 Senator Pettus is a member of this subcommittee. While he is generally reticent as to matters of this sort. the Senator has not concealed the fact that he is opposed to the confirmation of Hundley and it is also pretty well known here that some of the Republi' cans agree with the veteran Alabam- ian.
 E Senator Pettus was asked what was the status of the case and his reply was ''Hundley Is not well. There is one Republican against him and am. too. and no figuring will show that two cannot beat one."
 Hundley is still here and Is making a hard fight to overcome the obstacles placed against him bat prevailing opin- ion is he will have a tough time pull ing through.
 His only hope appears to be to re- ceive another appointment after the expiration of the present Congress. If he is rejected by this Senate most peo- pie believe the President will not ap- point him.

PREDICAMENT OF TELEPHONE
 LINEMAN AT DECATUR.
Caught Hold of Active Metal And En- tire Plant Was shut Down To
 Prevent His Electro euttou. sHEf

Decatur. aJn 14-(Special By Long Distance Telephone)--This afternoon Henry Parker. employed by the South ern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Con- pany, was forced to hold a live wire charged with 2,200 volts of electricity, escaping with his life.
 The only injruy sustained was a badly burned hand. Mr. Parker was sitting on the carriage attached to a telephone cable above the street. when his hand came in contact with the cleo tric wire, and he could not turn it loose.
 He called for help and John A. Tbom- ason. hearing him. telephoned the power station and got the current turned of after his hand had been in contact with the fire for five minutes.
 As soon as the current was turned of his hand fell to his side. and his body fell downwards. but his feet caught in the guy rope of the car riage, preventing him from falling to the street below. He went to work a short time after the accident occurred
 A number of reliable citizens of the two Decaturs say they witnessed a strange phenomena last night. About 6:30 o'clock they say they saw large meteor shoot from the east heavens VI it came within apparently some twenty five feet of the earth, 1t exploded with 8 tremendous noise. and at the same time lighted up the entire heavens for many miles. The explosion caused a number of houses in the city to shake and tremb1e as if from an earthquake. Local scientists say this is something unusual, and they are unable to ac- count for 1t.
 A telephone message from Moulton. Lawrence county, tonight stated that Abe Pool country merchant residing near Town Creek, In the same county, committed suicide tonight. No details are known.
