CLAYTON TO ISSUE
CALL FOR CAUCUS

Washington, November 1O-(Special.)
Representative Clayton of Alabama, chair
man of the democratic. caucus of the
House, will issue a call for caucus
within few days. The meeting will be
held probably the Saturday afternoon
before Congress convenes. The object of
the caucus is to accept the resignation
of Representative Williams of Mississippi
from the minority leadership Shortly
after Congress adjourned Mr.. Williams,
having been elected to the Senate and
not being member of the next House,
rendered his resignation to Mr.. Clayton
in order that his successor could be
named at the beginning of this session
and have three months practice before
the next Congress meets. So far as can
be learned Representative Clark of Mis-
souri, will have no opposition for the
minority leadership. He is now serving
his fourteenth year in the House.
There is no better democrat than Mr..
Clark, especially on the question of the
tariff. which subject will be uppermost
in the next SIX months. Mr.. Clark is
a native of Kentucky, having been born
In Anderson county, and a graduate of
Kentucky university.

The alleged Irregularities which are
said to exist in certain companies of
the Third regiment, Alabama National
Guard, directly involving one or two of
the commissioned officers and which
were brought out in an interview quot
ing Mai. W. H. Long, Jr., of Decatur
appear now to be the subject of general
discussion in military circles.
Major Long in his first interview
charged that Major Ledbetter of Bir-
mingham had threatened to see that
certain officers In Company K of this
city were not given their commissions.
After Major Ledbetter had denied the
charge, Major Long, in a second inter
view, insisted that the charges were
absolutely correct.
Now comes Colonel McKleroy of An
niston who criticlses Major Long Sc
verely for airing the alleged regiment
al troubles in the press. Colonel Nc
Kleroy intimates that a continuance
of the scrap" may result in a general
by the Kyle Higdon affair some years
ago.
Relative to matter the following was
sent out from Admission yesterday:
When asked about the statements of
Maj. W. II. Long. Jr of Decatur
charging corruption and discord in the
Third regiment, Alabama National
Guard, Col. w. H. McKleroy of An
niston last night referred to Major

Long For Airing GriebAnceS

Long as "a disappointed office-seeker"
and stated that when the time came to
muster out the Third regiment as
Major Long would seem to wish, the
initial act will emanate from a source
much higher than Major Long, the
Junior major of the entire regiment"
Colonel McKleroy criticised Major
Long very severely for airing alleged
regimental troubles In the press, stat
ing that Major Long has never pre-
ferred a single charge against any of
ficer of the regiment through the prop
err regimental channels. Colonel Nc
Kleroy stated that the case of commits
sions for officers of Company K was
discussed at length by him and Cover
nor Conner during the days of the
strike in the Birmingham district, and
that the situation of that company Isl
well understood within the regiment.
Mai D. Houston Smith, who is an ar
dent supporter of Major Ledbetter, as
the successor of Lieut. Col. Hughes b.
kennedy. says that Major Longs
charges can be attributed to the fact
that he has realized his defeat In the
race for that office. Some years ago
there was a prolonged scrap in this
regiment, involving Col. e. L. Higdon,
now sheriff of Jefferson county, Lieu
tenant Colonel Kyle and number OF
other officers, which resulted in the
SUSPENSION of Colonel Higdon, the res
ignation of Lieutenant Colonel Kyle
and a shakeup generally
