SMITH GOES TO
 QUALIFY AS MAJOR
Governor Has Not Yet Decided on Lieutenant for Regular
 Army.

J. c. Smith, at present captain of the Brandon Light artillery, and who recently, by defeating Major Wescott, made clear his path for appointment to the head of the artillery in the state of Alabama, will leave for Montgomery this week to qualify for his new honors.
 After MT. Smith qualities as major, the captaincy of the Brandon Light ar tillery will be vacant. It will be nec- essary then to call an election for the filling of this vacancy. First Lieuten- ant Leon Dorrence will, in all proba- bility, be elected to the captaincy. He has been a member of the battery for long number of years, and his pro motion has been gradual but regular. 1t is presumed that there will follow la general promotion along the line of lieutenants, and the appointment to lieutenancy of the first sergeant.
 In connection with military matters, there has been considerable interest as to whom Governor Conner will ap- point from the Alabama National Guard to Che lieutenancy in the regu- lar army. As is known, President Roosevelt has requested the governors of all the states to name man Tor lieutenant in the regular army, as there are some 40 vacancies. The governor stated last night that he had not taken action on this request. and was. there fore. not ready to make an announce ment of his nominee. There are no applicants in Birmingham, as far as known.

GOVERNOR SILENT
 ABOUT POLITICS
Thinks Everybody Is Satisfied With the General Primary Plan
 Adopted.

Governor Conner, who spent yesterday in the city. lodged all political discussions. When the breath of a statement concern ing his alleged candidacy for the United States senatorial nomination was uttered. the governor threw up his hands Say, now" cried he, 'do not quote me concern ing that matter, whatever you ao. Just let it drop.'
 1T presume you are satisfied with the primary plan for the election of dele gates, it being the understanding that this plan accords with your desires?" the re- porter asked
 "Yes,' replied the governor, "don't you think it well enough to leave all such questions to the people; isn't everybody satsfed?"
 "All except those who intend running, ,- was the answer and the governor laughed heartily.
 At the conclusion of the conversation the governor stated seriously that he was not candidate for delegate at large from Alabama.

 They were soon unearth ed, and Me Ghee's head and chest were found to be badly bruised. He was carried to his home and is resting easily. While Powe was shaken up pretty we'll, he was able to return to work.
 The fire started either from a defec- tive wire or furnace fue. The loss amounted to about $2000.

REPUBLICANS HAVE
 INNING THIS WEEK
THOMPSON COMMITTEE MEETS SATURDAY AND DAVIDSON COM MlTTEE MoNDAY-STATE MAY HAVE TWO DELEGATIONS.

while last week the demqcratic state ex- ecutive committee held its meetings, this week the republicans hold forth.
 The republican executive committee will meet in Birmingham next Saturday. the official call having been issued by Chair man.J o. Thompson, who is also one of the Presidents referees in this state.
 Unlike the democrats, however, the re- publicans are divided into factions. each faction claiming that it is the repre- sentative of the party in Alabama. The executive committee presided over by MT. Thompson represents that known as the administration faction. The anti-adminis- tration faction is headed by Julius W. Davidson, and it's executive committee Will meet next Monday.
 The administration faction is thoroughly Rooseveltian. Prior to the announcement by Mir Roosevelt that he would not under any circumstances accept the nomination for a third term, Chairman Thompson stated that there was no doubt but that Mir. Roosevelt would capture the delega- tion from Alabama. After MT. Roose velts statement, however. and after MT. Roosevelt had made known that his fa- vorte of all the candidates is Secretary W. H. Taft, MT. Thompson has stated that the Alabama delegation will be in- strueted for MT, Taft. It is considered certain that the executive committee of which MT. Thompson is chairman will, therefore, instruct the Alabama delega- tion for MT. Taft.
 The standardization faction, the ex- ecutive committee of which will hold it's meeting next Monday, is opposed to MT. Roosevelt and everyone of MT. Roosevelt s appointees in Alabama. It is a certainty that this faction will not indorse MT. Taft. Any man but Mr. Taft will be the choice of the antis. MT. Cannon, MT. Foraker and MT. Hughes are considered the prob abilities for the choice of the antis.
 As to which delegation will be seated in the national convention there is consid- erable doubt. The anti-administration fac tion has notified Mir Taft that if it's delegation is not seated, a contesting del- egation will be sent to Chicago and will rate there is a great deal of interest cen tered in the meetings of the two factions, and it is mot improbable that there will be developments in each as diametrically opposed as there were in the recent Flor ida republican convention.

MISSION CLOSES.
Eloquent Dominicans Close Their serv
 Ices Here--Large Congregations.

The Dominican mission, which began at the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows yesterday week, came to a close last night The two eloquent preachers. the Rev. Father Moran and the Rev. Father Ripple. were heard by large congrega- tions every morning and every night. There were two mission masses daily, and even the early service-5 a. m-was well attended.
 Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock the pastor, the Rev. John OKelly, was the celebrant at mass and the Rev. Father Ripple's theme was the Virgin Mary the honor which Catholics paid to the mother of Jesus Christ. Those who Iis- tened to the discourse spoke of 1t as one of exceptional power.
 Father Moran was the preacher at night, and his effort was at once stir ring and tender. The mission was for mally closed with the papal blessing. which the missioners are empowered to bestow in the name of the supreme pom tiff.

 step. If Kansas passes such a law. am advised that Nebraska will fololw It's example.
 Such legislation is form of social ism and am utterly opposed to it. It is occasionally stated that the guar antee of depositors would lead to un- sound banking. Does life insurance or fire insurance make a man neglectful of life or home? Will not bank directors believe that their losses must come out of their profits. out of their reserves. out of their capital, out of their reputa- tions? Boards of directors will be just as solicitious, anxious honest and Wise after they have guaranteed deposits as they were before; and banks. like other business institutions, will gain not by mere age, and responsibility, or by mere bulk of capital, but rather by ability to meet the requirements of their customers. Square dealing ana capacity will tell for just as much after deposits are guaranteed as be- fore."

Statements Are Untrue.

The statements in the editorial in ques- tion are, therefore, untrue in every par ticular
 As for your quotation from another newspaper, running as follows: Federal office holders may be commanded to use their influence and their authority in be- half of a candidate. Such a command has been issued and the President shoul0 know of it. Somebody has instructed postmasters that they must obtain from their subordinates. either their resigna- tions or their pledges of support for Taft delegates to the convention. Even in Massachusetts efforts of this kind have been recently made, but happily they have been stopped, partly because the postmasters on whom the attempts were made had the courage to resist, and partly from other causes.'
 There Is really nothing to say except that it does not contain the slightest par ticle of truth, and that the misstatement is so gross that 1t is difficult to believe it other than a deliberate invention. There is not the slightest foundation for 1t, and no successful effort can be made to show that there Is the slightest founda- tlon for it. As regards the Massachu- setts postoffices, in all except five cases, my appointments were reappointments; that Is, the incumbent was renominated, with the consent of the senators or con- gressmen at the expiration of the regular term.
 Of these five cases new men were put in. three because of deaths and twice be- cause of resignation of the incumbent. In each case. whether of appointment or reappontment. I followed the ordinary custom, accepting the suggestion either of the senators or of the congressman, or of both as in each case the men sug- gested were emnently fit. Not a par ticie of difference has been made fbetween those congressman who were for one pres
