RECRUITS COMING
 TO BODEKER'S AID

Recruits are beginning to join Chief Bodeker's ranks for his campaign to bring the convention of the International Association of Chiefs of Police of the United States and Canada to Birming- ham this year. Yesterday Chief Bodeker received a letter from Chief w. P. Chand- Ter of Knoxville, Tenn, in which the Tennessee chief pledges his support of Birmingham as the next meeting place of the association. Chief Chandler states that he will use his influence among his friends and do all he can for Birming ham.
 Enclosed in Chief Chandler's letter was the following letter written to Major Sylvester of Washington who is president of the chiefs association:
 Maj Richard Sylvester, Superintendent of Police, Washington, D. c.
 Dear Sir-I have just learned our friend Kern >is no longer chief of police of the city of Los Angeles, Cal, so I suppose this will mean that our convention IS not to be held there as announced
 While l do not wish to be previous on making suggestions to you, it is my opin- ion that we should go to Birmingham. That city, as you remember, had some strong invitations and very gracefully withdrew in favor of Los Angeles.
 I hope you will agree with me that Bir- mingham should have it. I am sure that city would give us a royal welcome, and I am sure the south is entitled to 1t once again.
 Kindly let me know how you feel on the question, as I am going to confer with some of my friends on the matter and do not want to go contrary to your wishes. Yours truly. w. P. CHANDLER,
 Chief of Police.

 Many Citizens.

Sylacauga February 2.-(Special.) .)-Wil- liam J. Bryan addressed the pupils ofsthe Fourth District Agricultural school from the rear platform of the southbound Louisville and Nashville passenger train here this afternoon.

Indianapolis February 2.-The coun- ty local option question: which has divided the democrats of the Indiana house of representatives. will if pres ent plans do not fail. be brought squarely before that body tomorrow, when the majority report of the com mittee on public morals will recommend the passage of the Kleckner bill.

TAFT MUST HAVE
 BIG AUTOMOBILE
Senate Cuts Out Auto Provision
 But House Restores It
TOO HEAVY TO RIDE HORSE
House lnduIees In Humor at Expense of Taft's Round Figure, But the Members Vote Money for
 Automobiles.

Washington. February 2.-The desirabil- ity of purchasing automobiles for the White House was the bone of contention in the House of Representatives today when MT. Tawney of Minnesota called up the urgent deficiency appropriation bill and moved that the Senate amendments be disagreed to, and a conference asked. In deference to the wishes of President elect Taft the bill as 1t passed the House, carried an appropriation of $12,000 for au- tomobiles, but the Senate struck ont that provision. MT. Bartlett of Georgia wanted that amendent voted on separately, re- marking that he was in favor of it. MT. Clark of Missouri, the minority leader, and MT. Sims of Tennessee supported his contention with the result that the op- portunity they desired was offered.
 The incoming President" said MT. Tawney with a significant smile de sires to abandon the use oe horses for reasons which you can all understand"
 While declaring that he was not op- posed to granting the President automo- piles, MT. Clark said he did not favor appropriating money for both horses and automobiles.
 Tt is an extraordinary sum to spend" said he. He thought MT. Taft would not need horses, .as much as the celebrated equestrian who now occupies the White House." He said there was not the slightest danger that President Taft would ever ride
 The debate spread al a rapid pace and MT. Tawney was made the target for a volley of questions, as to what would become of the White House horses if the automobiles were authorized.
 Sold, 1 presume," responded Mr. Taw- ney
 A wave of laughter swept over the house when MT Clark inquired if the present White House stables were to be transformed into a "garridge or a "ga- rage"?
 In a vigorous speech in support of the Senate amendment MT. Sims of Tennessee said he did not favor the automobiles as a means of travelling in a great city. Mr. Taft. he declared, was demanding the adoption of dangerous method of travel not only to himself but to citizens. Let us be bold,' he exclaimed, and vote down this thing"
 He asserted that Mir Taft while a man of large build could ride horse and could get Into a carriage. If the carriage was not big enough, he said, it could be made so
 'we already have built him such a platform" commented A-r. Mann of Illi- nois amid laughter.
 But you are trying to get him off that platform responded MT. Sims.
 The amendment by the Senate, strik- ing out the automobile provision, was disagreed to 27 to 1855, and the bill, after all other amendments had been rejected, was sent to conference, Messrs. Tawney of Minnesota, lVreeland of New York and Livingston of Georgia being appointed messengers on the part of the House.

BOLD ROBBERY
 IN A., B. & A. CAMP

Negroes broke into the house of one of the paymasters of the Atlanta, Bir- mingham and Atlantic railroad construc- tion camp near Bessemer yesterday and proceeded to rifle it of its valuables. The paymaster came up while they were there and ran them away, taking few shots at them as they ran. They made away in such haste that they dropped every thing but a suit of clothes.
 It was reported to the sheriff's office that the paymaster had been held up and robbed in lonely spot, the robbers securing a large sum of money and blood hounds were sent to the scene. The ne- groes made good their escape.

THE COOPER TRIAL
 IS WEARISOME
Judge Hart EnliVens Proceed
 ings By a Little HumOr
ONE MAN GETS MARRIED
Talesman Comes Up With Prospective Bride and Asked to Be Excused, as He Had a Hard Time Get
 ting Her Consent.

Nashville, February 2.-The second week of the trial of Col Duncan B. Cooper. Robin J. Cooper and John D. Sharp was completed today and the jury box remains unified. The days proceedings were wearisome and fruit less. Not one of the vacant seats in the box was filled. Altogether 162 talesmen were examined. The very few who attempted to qualify were chal- lenged peremptorily by the state or defense. It is not improbable that the fourth venire of 500 men will be ex- haused tomorrow in which event the fifth will be drawn and summoned and the hearing of the charges against Juror J. NJ. whitworth will be re- stunned.
 Judge Anderson of the defense arose to a question of personal privilege as soon as the sheriff declared the court in session.
 T object to a headline in a morning paper. the Tennessean, which says that Defense attacks character of Juror Whitworth and claims he perjured him. self
 Now, this is false. We did not ex- anime Mir. Whitworth at all, and if we had he might have said that he had expressed, an opinion. The story it. self written is correct, but the head line is cruel and misleading and we ask for redress"
 The court made no comment on the statement of counsel but said. Tt seems to me that We have large Venire-500 men-and that many of them have come many miles to be ex- amined. I suggest therefore that we postpone further inquiry into the Whit worth matter until we examine this venire. I presume you gentlemen want a few hours to scrutinize the panel, so we will take a recess"
 John w. Holt one of the talesmen, accompanied by a buxom woman, ap- preached the bench Holt said: "Jedge, got an engagement to get married at 10 o'clock and a jury summons for 10. What am I going to do?''
 Serve on the jury" said the court.
 Well, jedge. I sure am embarrassed. have been trying to get this girl to marry me for long time. and I feel I ought to og through with it now. It's dangerous to put it off"
 The court teased the prospective juror a while and then excused him. Tn six months he may wish I had kept him on that jury" commented the court.
 The first talesman called, A. E. Greer, said he could not read but his wife could, that he lived two miles from his brother, but had no seen him in three years. Asked if his wife was not pretty talka- tive. he replied:
 You jest come out and listen to her"
 Greer was sure there was a killing, but he-was not sure who was killed or who did the killing.
 The afternoon session dragged along as did the morning session and when court adjourned for the day, no additions had been made to the jury.

The seat sale for "rhe Clansman" at the Jefferson theatre Friday and Satur- day nights and Saturday matinee opens at the box office at o'clock this morning, and judging by the talk around town the entire house is likely to be sold out for all three performances before Friday night.
