REPRESENTATION ON
 ROOSEVELT VOTE
Marshal Long Says Wrong Impression Is Created of Administration
 Faction's Intentions.

United States Marshal Pope Long wishes to correct the impression that the administration faction of the Ala bama republican party is opposed to making the vote cast for Roosevelt as a basis of representation in the state con- vention It has been rumored that the administration faction was in favor or apportioning the representation according to a population basis, and that the ex- ecutive committee, which is to hold d meeting in Birmingham on February 1S' would go on record as being in favor of this.
 In talking of the matter MT. Long said:
 Tn the light of the position taken by the administration faction during the past it is an injustice to say they are opposed to a republican vote basis. Only recently two district executive committees have declared themselves in favor of this. Last May the Seventh district commit- tee mapped out a plan, which was unan- imously adopted, that allows one delegate in the county representation for every 100 votes cast for Roosevelt in the last election, and two votes from the county at large. My own district, the Sixth, has recently adopted the same plan.
 q believe the state executive commit tee will at the meeting MT. Thompson has called for next month, fix the repre- sentation in the state convention on the number of votes boiled in the last presi- dential election"

FARMERS' UNION MEETING.
The Matter of Fertilizers Will Be Dis.
 cussed This Morning.

The Farmers union executive com mittee will hold meeting at the union headquarters in the Thompson build ing this morning. A number of mat ters will come before the committee, among them being the charging of the cotton exchange which was estab- lished here a sh ort while ago. The ex- change is located at the headquarters and has proven very successful.
 The question of fertilizers will also be up for consideration. On account of the heavy increase in the price or fertilizers last year, the union de- cided to purchase these products in large quantities and distribute to the members through the warrant ware houses throughout the state. The com mittee will look into the prices and amount needed for this year.
 The officials of the union are still confident that cotton will reach the 15- cent mark within short while. The members are sticking to their pledge not to sell for less than this figure, only in few instances having sold their cotton at a lower price. In these in stances it was where the farmer abso- lutely needed the money, and he only sold enough to tide him over.

NO DECISION FOR
 SEVERAL WEEKS
THE STATES COUNSEL BELIEVES JUDGE JONES WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RENDER AN OPINION FOR SOME TIME.

Members of the states counsel in Bir- mingham, Judge Weakley and H. c. Sel- heimer, do not expect decision from Judge Jones of the federal court in -ef"''- ence to the case of the Louisville and Nashville against the state for several weeks.
 It was pointed out that many affidavits are yet to be filed with the judge before he can make up his decision. No one makes a prediction relative to the out come Still there is the most intense interest centered in the decision, which, it is considered by the lawyers, will be far-reaching in it's effect.
 It is common gossip that the decision of Judge Jones will not mean the end of the controversy. It is confidently expected that the supreme court of the United States will have the final adjudication of the matter. f! ll2,

RIGHT
Tell If You Know a Good Thing.


 When a man finds the true food value of a preparation like Grape-Nuts, it is no more than neighborly to tell it to others.
 '1 should feel responsible to a degree" writes an Ohio man, flor much human suffering were l to withhold from others the Knowledge of the benefits I have per- sonally derived from the use of Grape Nuts as an article of food
 Two years ago I began to feel a gen. eral tendency to collapse-had frequent bilious attacks. was troubled with con stipation and vertigo, also rush of blood to the head causing temporary blind ness.
 "Liver and stomach fin bad condition, appetite and sleep became very irregular. memory began to slip away, legs became shakey and I found 1t necessary to use both hands in drinking from a cup.
 Previous to this time I was in the habit of eating all wanted of whatever was set before me. When the trouble came, I tried medicine without help, but I gradually grew so weak I had to give up lucrative government position.
 'sWhatever I ate disagred with me, un- til my wife began feeding me on Grape Nuts food. At first I ate it sparingly un- til I found it did not hurt me, then gradually increased the amount as my appetite demanded. For many months have virtually lived on Grape Nuts, fruits and Postum.
 "The result is gratifying in the ex- treme. None of my former difficulties trouble me now. In eating, sleeping, ac- tion of bowels and kidneys. everything goes like clock work-no dizzy spells. no congestion of brain, no lack of mem- ory. no trembling of limbs. q weigh more than for years q am 62), and enjoy long walks which were formerly impossible.

HUNDLEY CHARGES
 COVER WIDE RANGE
HE WILL LEAVE FOR WASHING TON TUESDAY TO BE PRESENT AT HEARING BEFORE THE SEM ATE SUBCOMMITTEE.

 Something of the charges that will be filed. and the answers to be made, have leaked out, and there are clements of the serious, Imaginable and sensational. Ii is learned that the charges have to do with Judge Hundeys private. business and of ficiai life, that they will touch on affairs of his youth, of his life as private at- torney, on his career in the legislature and on the federal bench
 As far as could be learned yesterday, but four Alabamians will leave Brming- ham for Washington next week These will be Judge Hundley, Capt. Frank P. O'Brien, Asa Stratton, who was the re- publican candidate for governor against Governor Conner, and w. P. Cashin. the negro lawyer of North Alabama.
 AS is generally known, six of the nine Alabama congressman have petitioned that the Presidents nomination of Judge Hundley be held up in the Senate until the charges could be gathered together, and witnesses to substantiate them be called. Friends of Judge Hundley are confident that the charges will not amount to anything, and that he will be the confirmed judge when he returns. They contend that the charges are made by Congressman Richardson, and are based on personal differences between him and Judge Hundley.

ling is a luxury that cannot often be afforded on counry roads. When prop erly applied water not only lessens the dust nuisance, but preserves the road asNwell.
 No one having had experience in such matters will contend that a ma cadam road may generally be main. tained at less cost than a gravel or an earth road. Sometimes under cer- tain conditions the macadam main tenance costs may be less, but this does not occur usually.

FALLS THROUGH THISTLE. Arthur Wiggins Has Narrow Escape
 From Death Near Helena.

While walking across a trestle near Helena yesterday afternoon, Arthur Wig gins, a bumper in the employ of Furt- wangler & Smith, contractors. fell be- tween the ties to the ground, some 65 or 70 feet below. In falling Wiggins landed on rather large box, smashing it all to pieces. This broke his fall, and it is believed was the means of saving his life. A badly wrenched back is apparsntly the only injury sustained from the fall, al- though it is possible that there are in- ternal injuries.
 Wiggins was brought to Birmingham on the train and was carried to St. Vincent's hospital in Shaw & Sons ambulance. His condition is not serious.

a decrease in some of the charges and an increase in others.
 The state of Tennessee has requested the railroads doing business in that state to put on the rate of 21z cents, and all save the Louisville and Nashville have agreed to do so President Smith of the Louisville and Nashville agreed to do so in case the suit, which he proposes filing in way of protest, goes against him.
 According to the information learned yesterday from an authoritative source there is no doubt but that all standard railroads in the south will sell tickets at PIE cents in case the state of Alabama wins out in it's contention with the Louis- vile and Nashville. It Is argued that in selling tickets the uniform rate of 2Is cents will be the means of saving much time and expense on the part of the rall- roads.
