for Ceosa.

washington. Feb. 1--(speciail- -
Copies OF an Alabama paper have
reached washington in which the
statement Is. made that most Of the
serious charges made against Judge
Hundley are by, Representative Rich
ardson, and that they are based on per-
sonal differences between him ana
Judge Hundley.
People who have any such idea as
this would have their eyes opened II
they could know how many Alabama
people. both Republicans and Demo
Gratis, have protested against Judge
Hundley's confirmation.
1t Is learned that a mighty letter
writing contest is going on, many OF
the. epistles urging the rejection OF
Hundiey and others asking that he be
confirmed.
Most of the Congressman who sign
ed the protest against Hundley's con-
firmatIon are receiving letters from
persons on both sides Of the contro-
Versy.
w. p. Lay. of Gadsden. President OF
the Coosa River Improvement Com
pany, Is here. He came to Washington
to consult with Representative Burnett
and others regarding future improve
msnt of the river.
Messrs. Burnett and Lay Will en-
deavor tn secure In the next river and
harbor bill 100000. That amount,
they think would complete lock and
dam NO 4. also construct dam No. 5.
and fender the coal fieldg accessible.

ISTIJNS REPUBI / CANS


washington. FEB. Flew Republic
ans will come out In the open and
condemn President Roosevelt's message
to Congress yesterday. although II Is
a WeIl-known fact that most prominent
Congressmen OF his political faith are
stunned by the position taken by the
occupant Of the White House.
q The more these Republicans study
that document, the more they are said
to believe that 1t was a premeditatd
EFFORT to help along the Taft boom, and
privately many express the opinion
that It will not be a difncult matter to
force another nomination upon Roose-
walt IN the event he cannot win on the
flrst ballot OF the Chicago convention.
Scores Of Democrats seem to think
that Roosevelt will be the nominee Of
the Chicago Convention in the event
Taft does not win on the first ballot.
Quite q number make the fiat-footed
statement that Roosevelt expects a
dead-Io at Chicago. and that a break
In the party will call on him to run
again and that he VIII accept with
apparent reluctance, but deep down
in his heart he will be greatly pleased
II things once more come his way.
Lively times are expected in Con-
grees before this session ends. The
President wants the legislation he has
recommended, and it Is common talk here
today that 81 II Is not forthcoming. he
will call an extra session of Congress
II 1t has to be held while the campaign
is going on.
The anti-Taft Republicans. It is
thought. WIN soon make up their minds
whether to hearken to the President
or refuse to do his bidding.

pointed out that South America was
q favorable ground for Japanese emf
grants and Q legation would be estab-

The government has been making
careful Investigations which show that
Chile and the Argentine Republic are
favorable to immigration and wher-

vent them going there.

In European countries where there
was not the slightest probability OF
