PUSH FORTH
 SMITH CLAIMS ]. w. Davidson In
 Washington. PLEASED WITH PROSPECTS Booker Washington Not Taking Part
 in Hundley Case. Emmet O'Neal Returns to Florence Be- lieving That No One But
 Republican Will Be
 Named as Judge.
WITH PROSPECTS

Washington, March 27.-(Special)- J. w. Davidson, of Birmingham, to- day had audiences with Secretary of State Knox. and Attorney General Wickersham. As previously mentioned Mir. Davidson Is here in the interest of W. H. Smith, of Birmingham whose friends and pushing his claims, for Judge as successor to Oscar R. Hund- ley.
 eral in the Roosevelt cabinet, he ap- pointed Mir. Davidson assistant to for mer District Attorney Vaughan. Ii was while holding that position that Mir. Davidson became very well ac- quainted with MT. Knox. so after they had talked matters over some time to- day the latter thought it advisable that Mfr. Davidson have an audience with Attorney General Wickersham. and kindly gave him a note of introduction to the head of the Department of Jus tice.
 MT. wickersham heard patiently all that Mir Davidson had to say. From all accounts. he appeared to be very much interested. and MT. Davidson feels much encouraged, and as things now stand. he cannot help thinking, he says. that his friend has the best chance of any whose names are now before the President and the Attorney General. Indeed. MT. Wickersham. through New York friends, has had most favorable reports of Mir. Smith.
 A friend of Booker T. Washington, is auth ority for the statement that the Tuskegee educator wishes 1t under stood that his recent visits to Presi- dent Taft have had no reference what ever to the Hundley case. Other mat ters have caused his White House vis- its. The talk here is that Washington does not think he should mix up In this fight, even if the President were to ask his advice.
 No Chance for Democrat
 Emmett o'Neal, of Florence. who came on in the interest of R. w. Walker, of Huntsville for Judge. Is re- ported to have started back home firm ly of the opinion that it Is not worth his while, to press a Democrat as Hundley's successor. Mr. ONeal Is said to realize that a Republican will be named.
 In spite of all the gloomy reports they hear the packers of Hundley have not quite abandoned hope. It is known here that they are pulling every string possible. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Capers has been appealed to- so 1t is stated. by Joe Thompson and others to help all he can in the Hund ley matter and Thompson's friends declare Postmaster General Hitchcock will assist him to the best of his abil- ity, no matter what various people say about their visits to the President and that he Is certainly going to drop Hundley and name somebody else in the near future.

FUTURE OF CUBA
FORMER GOVERNOR MAGOON GIVES
 HIS VIEWS.
He DecIars That Dangers Which Im- peril the Stability of the Gov ernment Arise From Racial
 CharacteristIcs.

Philadelphia. Pa. March 27-Cuba' s future was discussed tonight by the American Academy of Political and So- teal Science meeting here Former Governor Magoon. of Cuba. in his pa- per read by pr. L. S. Rowe. said the two questions most frequently heard about Cuba were:
 Will the present government con- tinue to be stable2 and should the United States annex Cuba"
 The dangers which imperil the sta bility of the government he said, arise from racial characteristics. and 1t is not to be presumed that these char acteristics have been changed by the American administering of government for two and half years. Therefore, the question cannot be answered ex- cept by the test of time.
 T look toward the future Of the Cuban Republic with confidence and servation during the existence of the provisional government. The over whelming majority of the Cuban people are sober. industrial, peace-loving peo- pie. inspired by love of family and country. desirous that Cuba should he indec endent."
 The former Governor has no hesita- ton in declaring that the Cubans are capable of self-government.
 On the question of annexation, the ad- dress says that the United States will not and cannot annex Cuba except with the full consent of the Cubans and the number of Cubans now 1avoring an nexation Is less than one Der cent.
 From the standpoint of the United States. annexation Is undesirable" the address says From what source would the United States recoup itself for the loss of enormous revenue now derived from sugar. tobacco and other products of Cuba. Another matter to be consid cred Is the need of public improve ments. the cost of which would not be less than $100.000. .000."
 The former Governor concluded:
 'I am glad to say that the thought of annexing the Island of Cuba is enter tained by but few Americans. It Is. and for a number of generations will continue to be. an irridescent dream"
 An address of Vice President Zayas of Cuba, was read.

As she walked along Montgomery Street. she espied vegetable stand piled in succulent splendor were onions not the virulent little American red on. ions. but the great, lnicy, yellowish; silver onions. grown in the dust laden plains of Lombardy.

ALABAMA JOBS ARE BARGAINED Barker and Thompson
 Trading. REPUB SCHEMES EXPOSED All Deals Depend on Success of
 Judge Hundley. Gordon Ashley to be Made Collector at Port of Mobile if Taft Does
 Not Break Slate.
UB SCHEMES EXPOSED
BY ALFRED J. sTOFER.

Washington, D. C., March 27-Jn its hotel column of today The Washington Herald publishes at some length an in- terview with Henry M. Bennett, of Birmingham, and 1t is sent The Ad- vertiser for what it is worth.
 After referring to the political in- trigues among republican politicians of the South MT. Bennett says:
 "It is stated that J. O. Thompson, has made an agreement with P. D. Barker. postmaster at Mobile. and member of the Republican National Committee for Alabama who are rivals for the con trol of the Federal patronage of the State, that. in exchange for his sup port of Judge Oscar Hundley, of the United States district judgeship, Thompson would agree that Barker should name the Collector of the port of Mobile.
 Barker named H. Gordon Ashley, a deputy marshal at Birmingham, now serving under United States Marshal sional District. in exchange for his support of himself as National Com mitteeman and other considerations. Ashley, realizing he has a hard fight to win out, 1t is stated. double trades with some of Judge Hundley's Repub- lican opponents for their support and indorsement. and also with some of Thompson's enemies for their support to down Thompson in the next State Republican convention.
 Democrat Figures, Too.
 Ashley goes still further and secures the services of Oscar Fulghrum, for merly Democratic sheriff of Madison county, who Is now baliff or court crier, sa at the different courts of his district held by Judge Hundley FuIgh- rum will be special deputy Collector.
 Tt Is understood that Ashley, with his friends, as the alignment now stands In the Seventh District, with the first congressional district and one other in the State is influential enough to control the next Republican State convention. Thompson, the present State chairman, 1t seems. is stalking everything on the success of Judge Hundley's re-appointment and the Re- publican party organization of Ala bama we'll, as the devil in the play says. There you are''.
