NATIONAL GAME Of POLITICS
CHANCES OF THE big SIX"
TAFT KNOX, CANNON HUGHES FAIRBANKS AND LA TOILETTE
ARE ACTIVELY PLAYING THE GAME-IT is PRACTICALLY
THE FIELD AGAINST TAFT, WITH PREDICTION THAT KNOX
HAS BEST CHANCE AS THE DARK HORSE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The
great national game of presidential
politics is being played in Washing
ton for all that it is worth. Taft,
Hughes, Foraker, Fairbanks, Cam
non and Knox have their supporters
and earnest partisans scattered all
the way from the White house to the
humblest negro janitors at the iapi-
toll The democrats, too, are trying
to play at the game, but il is a sorry
spectacle when compared to the
great leaders of the republicans in
their struggle for supremacy.
1t is conceded even by most Of the
democrats in both houses of congress
that the man nominated by the Chi
cago republican convention will be
the next president Of the United
States, so that there isn't a great
amount of interest in the democratic
scrap just now 1t is also conceded
by republicans and democrats alike
that no matter which of the great
republican leaders is nominated, he
will make a great president. The
big Six" as it is called, are all able
men, and the country would be safe
in the hands of either At this time
Taft is undoubtedly the strongest
man, but there is a great combina-
ton arrayed against him. 1t is con-
coded that Cannon will have Illinois
and some scattering votes from other
state, Fairbanks will have Indiana
and Knox will have Pennsylvania
and a great many scattering votes
from New England states and posi-
bly, some from West Virginia.

JOHN |. WAS

SULLIVAN, IN HIS PRIME, COULD
HAVE PUT JEFFRIIES DOWN
FOR THE COUNT-ESTIMATE
OF BILLY MADDEN.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-What
would have ben the result had John
l.. Sullivan, in his prime, met in
the ring James ]. Jeffries, in his
prime? This is purely an academic
question, for, of course, the two
men never can, in fact, never could
have met under the conditions nam
ed, says jeff Thompson
The question is prompted by two
articles which recently have appear
ed in local sporting papers. One
sporting writer, in speaking of Sui
Ivan says: John l.. Sullivan was a
heavy hitter, but was in the same
class as Maher in the matter of
cleverness. Sullivan never landed
his blows on clever boxer. He re-
tanned the championship of America
for 10 years simply for the reason
that he refused to fight any of the
real good men of his time-Peter
Jackson, Frank Slavin and Joe Cod
dard, any one of whom could have
sent the Boston boy to grass in short
order" That is one side of the
question.
Now comes an interview with Bill
ly Madden, who ought to be about
as good a judge of the fighting man
as any one that could be picked off.
hand. He says: Jim Jeffries
would not have had a chance in the
world with John l.. Sullivan when
heard a lot of talk about what jeff
the Boston boy was in his prime. I've
heard lot of talk about what jeff
and his mountain of strength would
have done against the Old Roman,
but let me tell you that I've seen
them all, and John was the king"
While l am not so cock sure as
Madden seems to be that Sullivan
would have been able to have taken
Jeffries' measure with ease at any
time in his career. on We other

SAN MARCO CHURCH
 IS DESIGNATED
Robbers Enter Edifice at East Thomas and Steal Various Articles
 of Value.

It was discovered yesterday morning that during the night before San Marco s Catholic church at East Thomas had been. broken into and robbed. This church was erected and attended solely by Italians. It seems that the robbers were not content with depriving the church of Its valuable fixtures and sleal- ing several pieces from a silver sacra- mental service, for before they left they desecrated the interior of the church and even tore up the carpets and cut the vest ments of the priest and acolytes to pieces. Movable things that were not carried off were broken to pieces. This is the second time that this church has been entered curing the night. When the crime was discovered the interior of the church looked as if horde of vandals had sud- denly swept down upon it. The police of the neghboring towns have ben notified, but as yet no clue has been found.
 The Rev. Father Canepa, a native of Italy, but resident of Birmingham for several years, Is pastor of San Marcos. He is one of the best known and mos. popular clergyman in the district. When he built the church at East Thomas. President J. c. Maben of the Sloss-Shef- field company, 8 personal friend of the priest presented him with set of costly candlesticks for the altar and made liberal cash donation.

PAPER MAKING
 FROM SUGAR CANE

The claim of sugar planter on the Island of Trinidad that he has discovere9 a practical method of making paper from the stalks of sugar cane, after the juice ton. The claims of the inventor are set forth in a report to this government by Consul General Richard Guenther of Frankfort Germany.
 The increasing scarcity of spruce, which is the wood most used for paper making, Is well known. Active research is being made in many parts of the world for materials to take the place of pupwood. Enormous quantities of ground sugar cane goes to waste at the sugar factories. Somo of it is used for fuel under the boilers, but very large part is left to rot.
 From time to time experiments have been made to convert the bagasse, or cane refuse, into paper, but with limited success, commercially, unless the Trinl- dad planters claim is well founded. He is confident that he has made valuable discovery and has built an $S5, 900 paper mill an adjunct to his sugar factory. He has turned out paper worth SPA ton, according to Consul General Guenther. About a ton and a quarter of cane makes ton of pulp. It is reported that the process of manufacture is comparatively inexpensive. The planter claims that it will pay to grow cane for paper alone, leaving the sugar as clear profit.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Reunion Appointment.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In yesterday mornings Age-Herald you published the statement that Com. J. A. by Gen. Stephen D. Lee his chief junior aide in charge of all social affairs, but after the organization of Camp Morgan Pettus this order was rescinded." Now, in justice to me- I desire that you correct this statement from the fact that your informant is mistaken. and did not state the fact. The position of chief junior aide with the rank of captain was ten dered to me by General Lee but was de- clined on the grounds that I was assistant adjutant general with rank of general on the staff of Gen. J. w. Apperson of the United, Sons of Confederate Veterans. and under the constitution of the Sons I could not hold two commissions at the reunion, and I had already accepted the latter honor
 I not only declined the honor of Gen eral Lees chief junior aide, but also de- clined for the same reason the commis- sion of secretary of the veterans sponsor committee, which was rendered me by Gen. Fred L. Robertson of Tallahassee, Fla. who is chairman of the same and has charge of all social entertainments rendered to the sponsors of the reunion.
 have all official communications and letters to bear out the above statements. Very truly, J. A. ROUNTREE.
