To Select Sites Fer Busts Of TaOOaeyelt

 Washington. Dec 1s.-Shortly after the holidays the Senate probably will decide where it will place marble busts of two of it's Vice Presidents, Roosevelt and Fairbanks Mir. Roose- velt's career in the Senate was ex- tremely brief and although 1t ended about seven years ago up to this time no bust of him hes been made.
 Mr. Roosevelt selected James Fra1- fer, a young artist of New York. who has been at work for some time carry ing out hts coEamigsion. It is under stood that this bust is now near com pIetion and will be delivered before March {.
 sixteen years ago the Senate adopt ed resolution giving continuing power to its committe on the library. to have made busta of Vice Presidents. There Is a wide range of selection in the matter of position as there is no restriction against the removal of busts that now occupy most important places within the chamber itself to make way for new ones By the re- moval of these marble effigies of a President of the Senate during the early days of the nation, a place was made for the late Vice President Ho- bart within the Senate chamber.
 MT. Fai1banks' bust is being mads by Franklin Simmons, the American artist residing in Rome, who has exc cuted many designs for Congress and whose work stands in many places throughout Washington.

 Keen Satire.

Blrmingham, Dec. s.-(Speciai. )--- The reply of Col. E. L. 7Higdon, sher- if of Jefrerson county. to the caustfc report of the minority of the grand jury which adjourned this week. was given out today
 Some sarcastic comments were made on the four men who signed the min , ority report of the grand jury which was turned into court and then the sheriff answers each of the charges against him. t
 The document is addressed to the law abiding citizens of Jefferson coun- fy, and begins as follows:
 Under the cloak of minority re- port of the grand jury, a vicious, malicious and false islander has been published of and concerning my ad- ministration as sheriff of Jefferson county by four members of the re- cent grand jury, known to be bitter personal enemies of mine. The venom and the malice of the authors of this islander went so far that they therein tmpugned the motives of the other members of the grand jury, who after hearing all the witnesses that these enemies of mine had diligently sought and brought before the grand jury, refused not only to lend their coun- 1enaice to any indictment, but even refused to lend their sanction to what they knew, and what Is base and false libel and slander.
 The grand jurors whose motives the minority In their venom and nfai- ice impugned, are among the best and most reputable. cftizens of the county; whereas the same cannot be said Of the four men whoSsigned the majority report, each of whom has some pri- wnte grievance or personal grpdge against me. some of which is due to the strict administration of the law, from which they have suffered.

ferson county? In the hundreds of indictments that have been found by this last grand jury will not every criminal so indicted be justified in asking to so free. because "a majority of the grand jury, or at least seven. are known to have violated their oaths as grand jurymen, and therefore. be- ing perjurers were, disqualihed to find a true bill against anybody77"
 The sheriff then at length answers the various charges that were made against him in the minority report, mincing no words.
 Contining sheriff Higdon says:
 Happy days. for Jefferson countyl Happy days indeed. when the men of the types of Tyson, a Dismukes, a Brophy. or a Mealey---all alike in their desire to islander ne--will dare to raise their voices in the temple of justice to point a moral to such men of standard reRute among the citizen ship of this county as F B Daniel, D.

 "The first charge is, in substance that I have been guilty of a felony since being sheriff in this; That 1 contracted to- allow the gamblers of this county to violate the law under the protection of my office, and that, but for undue influence in the grand jury room, would have been indict- ed.
