REPUBS IN A FIGHT.
!. O. THOMPSON AND W. Y. ALDRICH
 COME TO BLOWS.
Administration Faction is AssembIinE fn Birmfnwham to Arrenge .
 Taft Delegation to Chicago
 ---Wfll Meet Today.

Birmingham, Feb IT, Special )--J. O. Thompson. Chairman of the State Republican Executive Committee. to- night used his fist on w. F. Aldrich, former Congressman from the Fourth Alabama District and member of the committee. { United States Marshal Dean, of the First District. separated the two men.
 Thompson walked up to Aldrioh in the lobby of the Hillman Hotel. and without saying anything dealt a stinging blow on the former Congress- mans face.
 While no statement is given out. 1t appears that this was the first time Thompson met Aldrich since the pub lication in The Times, the latter's paper, of the mortgage given by Thompson and wife to O. R. Hundiey. apointed Federal judge. The. mortgage was in consideration of several thousand dol- lars loan.
 This matter was recently brought out in the Senatorial investigation against Judge Hrlndley's confirmation
 A number of Republicans were in the immediate vicinity when the hlow was struck. but no pistols were drawn Thompson was not arrested.
 Republicans from various parts of the State are gathering here to attend the Executive Committee of the party headed by Thompson, which will be called to order at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning in the rooms of the Commer. cial Club. .jt
 Among the early arrivals is p, D. Barker. postmaster at Mobile who has just returned from a trip to Wash ington. In an interview he intimated that everything almost in the East, or rather around Washington, was for Secretary Taft for the Presidency.
 It is believed that all of the thirty two members of the Executive Commit tee will be here for the meeting. It Is understood that among the first busi- ness to be taken up will be a consid- eration of bodily expelling such mem bers as affiliated with the faction head ed by Julius Davidson, which met last week.
 The committee will call State Con- vention for the election or delegates to the National Convention and the tram saction of such business as may come before it. 58s
 There is no doubt that the majority of the committee to meet here tonor- row favors Secretary Taft for the Pres- idency. J. O. Thompson, the chair man, is an openly expressed advocate of Secretary Taft.
 While the meeting Tuesday win be an executive one, newspaper represent atives are to be admitted to the ses- sions.
 A mass meeting of negro Repuh- licans was held here today at which resolutions directed to both factions of the Republican party demanded that the negroes be given representation in the committee or they would call a con- vention of their own and send a sep. arate delegation to Chicago.

An Incident In A Record-Breakias Day At Boston Headquarters of yo.ng copper--Pubiie Has
 Confidence.

Boston, 17.-There seems to be no Iet-up in the tremendous interest that has been aroused in this city and vicinity by L. T. Cooper, the young philanthropfst, who is introducing nis preparations to Boston people. The remarkable results accomplished oy him in the last two weeks are daily becoming more manifest. some ol those. who purchased his medicines in the early part of his visit are now call ing at his headquarters, the Jaynes Drug store. 5S Washington Street, 10 report results.
 Yesterday was cord-breakinB day, and many present were anxious to tell what Cooper's preparations had done for them. One of these was Mrs. w. Weller. living at 3567 Washington street. .Iamacia Plain. Mrs. Weller had previously been treated for deaf ness. which, according to her story had affiicted her for twelve years. She can now hear any ordinary con- versation Tn relating her experience Mrs. Weller said:
 "For twelve years I have been af- fficted with catarrhal deafness, ana heard no word during that time l have seen many physicians and taken much medicine, but for all the good it did me 1t might have been so much water. l read a great deal about these Cooper medicines. but paid little at tention to it until read of man in Cambridge who had been relieved Of catarrhal deafness after twenty years I then came here and bought the med icine, both for local application and to be taken internally.
 .At the end of week heard the clock in the dining room tick. had never heard it before. as we bought 1t since became deaf. I also heard street noises, and some conversation. Now I can hear so much better that I am absolutely astonished. I no long, CT have head noises. and the dropping in my throat has altogether ceased.
 "The New Discovery has also cured my husband of constipation. although he has been taking medicine all his life for 1t without relief He has no trouble of that kind at all since taking the medicine. We both con slider these medicines to- be perfectly wonderful in what they accomplish
 Statements such as this from sources of unquestioned integrity have firmly established public confidence in Cooper's ability, and although some members of the medical profession econ when the subject Is brought ur in their presence. the faith of the peo- pie generally remains unshaken-

CONFIRMS NOMINATION.
Lteutenant Colonel Weatherapoon to Be q Brigadier General.


 Lieutenant Colonel WeatherspOOn to Be q Brigadier General.
 Washington. Feb. 1.-The Senate af- ter nearly five hours debate on the nomination of Lieutenant Colonel W. W. Weatherspoon to be brigadfer gen. eral. today voted to confirm.
 There were only seven votes in op- position. The contest was led by Sem ator Bulkely who spoke against the practice of promoting officers except by seniority unless an officer has had such service as would cause the whole country to demand it. He was partic- ularly bitter against what he called the promotion of officers for. some one act of heroism when they had not been es- pecially trained for an advanced grade. Tn the case of Lieutenant Colonel Weatherspoon. however, there was not a word directed against his record which was conceded to be such as en- titled him to specia& recognition.
