The Hundiey Case.

It is thought here that If the bar associations in the northern judicial district of Alabama recommend the appointment of any Democratic law yer in the place of Hundley they will make a mistake.
 It is generally conceded that Presi- dent Taft is going to select as the successor of Hundley a Republican n. and 1t has been represented to him that there are half dozen or more able and upright Republicans, in that district who would not be objec- tionable to those who have opposed so vigorously the retention of Hundley.
 The Democratic representatives in the House here who have fought Hundley from the start have carefully refrained from recommending any one. Their sole objection has been to de- feat Hundley. and they appear to be quite sanguine that they have done that.
 Collector Joe Thompson. 1t will be recalled. charged several times last year that the game of the Democrats In opposing Hundley was to force the of a man of their own party and of their own election

SEATSOF THE MIGHTY
LICK OF ALABAMA CONGREsSMEN
 IN DRAWING.
Hefiin Got First Call and Clayton Pared POOrly-Dent Is Just Bc-
 hind Judge RichardsOn.

Washington. D. C., March 1s.-
 The drawing of seats in the House to- day was unusually interesting. Early in the game . Representative
 Heffin wAs called. he being the first
 Alabamian. whose name came out of Eha box. Ifeahadsfa fegular picnic in choosing, and. quickly selected most desirable location on an aisle about the centre of the Democratic side.
 The next one In the delegation to bA reached was MT. Underwood, and he too secured a fine aisle seat.
 In a few moments the name or MT. Taylor was heard, and this was pleas ing to everybody. for the member from the Mobile district in times gone by has had some mighty poor luck In this respect. But today he was. for tunate. and he was located in the seat next to the member from Birmingham.
 Soon after MT. Burnett came smiling down and located In seat not far from Messrs. Underwood and Taylor. He also was pleased with his prize.
 For quite while it looked as if the other Alabamians were going to fare very badly. Judge Richardson was next reached. and he landed in the tier next to the one in which he had desk in the last Congress. but cou- pie of rows further back than his old seat.
 MT Dent was then reached. and he picked a desk just behind that of Judge Richardson.
 All this time Representatives Clay ton, Hobson and Craig were standing behind the rows of desks wondering whose names would come last on the list. These three in the drawing fared worse than any of the other Alabam fans. MT. ClaytonI who is chairman of the Democraticf caucus. had to be content with back row seat but a new member who had drawn one well to the front, and a' most desirable one, magnanimously insisted upon the eau GUS chairman exchanging with him, which was done with thanks.
 Representative Fitzgerald. of Brook lyn. who deserted his party yesterday in the first against the Republican or ganization. was almost the last ma called and the Democrats generally | chuckled because he fared so hadiy.
 They have been savagely denouncing | him and the others who flew the track | and the talk today around the Capitol | Is that Murphy of Tammany Hill and | McCarren. the Brooklyn boss. issued | orders by wire to these bolters to aid | the Republican machine here. It Is also openly charged that Cannon, DaI zell. Payne and the others who rule the House. in consideration for this timely help. have promised that If they can help 1t there shall be no in- crease in the beer tax.
