ACTIVE PROTEST MADE
 AGAINST JUDGE HUNDLEY

James Weatherly. A. G. Smith, S. J. Bowie, J. F. Stallings, Walker Percy and E. H. Cabaniss. The brief contains an ac- count of the recent Birmingham meeting of lawyers to protest against Hundley's confirmation and sets forth his alleged unfitness for the judgeship. MT. Percy quotes the President as saying that he would give the request of the delegation his consdern tion. The delegation will, spend much of it's time here talking to in- dividual senators on the Hundley case in an effort to secure votes against him. Sen- ator Foster of Louisiana said today that he thought the Hundley case was mat ter properly for the senators from Ala bama to decide, and that in view of the fact that they are not opposing the judge he would not do so. This describes the general democratic attitude.

JOHN MITCHELL
 TALKS ON LABOR

New York. January 4.-John Mitchell, vice president of the American Fedora ton of Labor, made his first public ad- dress tonight since he was sentenced to prison by Judge Wright of the United States district court, Washington. In an address before the Women's Trade Union league, MT Mitchell said:
 Labor will not yield; it will fight to maintain it's rights at any cost. The only cost seems to be to put a few leaders to inconvenience by being sent to prison"
 He said the incarceration of a few leaders would not put an end to organ ized labor

Messina, January 4.-While King vic- tor Emmanuel was making a parting visit ashore, shortly before his de- parture, he witnessed a pitiful demon stration by crazed refugees. Soldiers were landing bedding and blankets for distribution among the survivors of the catastrophe when a group of refugees began clamoring wildly for the bed- ding. When forced back as gently as possible they shouted violent remon- strances against the officers whereupon the King, greatly moved, gave instruc- tions to make the distribution as quickly and as liberally as possible.

Vatican a Place of Refuoe.


 Rome, January 4.-Upon the arrival of 1500 wounded from Messina and Reggie this morning, Mayor Nathan telephoned the vatican, asking whether these unfor- tunates could be taken in there. The vatican replied in the affirmative and the wounded were received with open arms. To realize fully what this incident signi- fes, it must be explained that Signor Nathan is not a Catholic, and that he was at one time grand master of the Free Mason. an organization that has carried on a persistent struggle against the vatican.
 The first 120 of the wounded sent to the vatican this morning were received at the railroad station by Monsignor Mis- ciatelli, sent especially by the Pope. Some of them were taken to the vatican in public conveyances, but the more griev- ously injured were carried on stretchers by the Red Cross. They were received in the vatican precincts by the nursing sis ters.
 The Pope could not restrain his desire to bring them consolation, and sought them out. He passed through the basilica of St Peters over the arch connecting the basilica with the hospital. Although he did not actually set foot on Italian territory. he in reality went outside that area which, under the law, Is guaranteed and enjoys the right of extra territorial ity. The hospital, although belonging to the Pope, stands on Italian ground.

Rome, January fixing Victor Emman- uel has addressed an order of day to tho army and navy in which he says he has again had personal proof of the he- roism of the soldiers and sailors, and commends highly the inen of the foreign warshiIs in uniting their efforts to those of the valorous Itaian officers and sailors.
 The entire time of the officials in Rome is being given over to the work of gath ering supplies and provisions and med icines and organizing other relief for the earthquake sufferers.
 The reports of bombardng the ruins to prevent an epidemic are considered pre- mature. Even after five or six days the living have been taken out of the wreck age. Millions in money and valuables and important records which are buried deep must be removed. The American officials headed by Major Landis, the at tache at Rome. with the aid of 60 soldiers, are engaged in the task of clearing ups the ruins of the American consulate at Messna. in order to recover, if possible the bodies of Consul Cheney and his wife.
 British naval officers have discovered that the ped of the strait Of Messina has been raised many hundred feet and as high as 14O0 feet in places. Their estl- mate of the dead reaches 100000.
 Ambassador Griscom with a view to the quick transportation of American supplies to the earthquake zone has secured for this purpose the German Lloyd steamer Bayern. He had engaged the Oceania but 1t was found that the Bayern could be made ready more quick ly and 1t is expected she will sail from Naples on Wednesday.
 It Is suggested that all Americans not heard from who were supposed to be in the earthquake zone. should be consld- cred safe, as probably all Americans who have suffered have been reported

NEW VARIETIES OF TOMATOES
Ear snecjaI Table Use-Required by
Large Hotels - Greenhouse
Grown Fruit Most Desirable.

The forcing of tomatoes under glass
has assumed considerable proportions
in the middle and northern states,
and the demand for the green
homegrown crop is steadily IN
creasing This is due to the fact that
tomatoes when grown under glass are
superior to those that are grown IN
the extreme southern states and
which must necessarily be picked
partially green and shipped long dis
tances before reaching our markets.
For special table use, such as is de-
handed by large hotels, the green
homegrown fruit will always be in
demand. A number of varieties have
been put on the market for cultiva-
ton under glass. Some of these are
very good, but none has all the char
acteristics which would render it
ideal The ideal tomato is one with
the following characters combined
l. A fruit without a depression at
the stem end.
2. A round fruit without ridges.
3. A fruit with the interior well
formed and compact
4. A fruit OF medium size growing
in large clusters.

CELERY FOR HOME AND MARK
Vegetable Loves a Cool Climate and
Light, Fertile, Humus-laden,
Moist Soil.

Although requiring rather peculiar
cry can be grown both for home use
and market over a wider area than
most people think. Almost everybody
is fond of celery and it is a healthful
vegetable food. With little study
and experience in growing it, celery
might be on the table of ten times
the number Of homes that it now is,
and it might be grown for market by
twice the number of gardeners that
already grow it,
light, fertile, humus-laden, moist soil.
The ideal climatic conditions for the
production of celery are bright sun
shine, pure air, cool nights and
well distributed rainfall of about
eight inches during the growing Pc
Rod in the field or garden.
In the production of celery for do
nestle use, rich, mellow, sandy loan
will give the best results. The soil
Of the seed bed should contain plenty
of leaf mold and should be passed
through sieve having not less than
six meshes to the inch. The soil
OF the transplanting bed need not be
sifted so fine, and some we'll rotted
barnyard manure should replace a
part of the leaf mold: in other re-
spects it should be the same as the
seed bed
Any fertile, we'll drained soil will
grow celery, but rich, loose. sandy
loan is preferable. The soil cannot
well be made too rich, and the pres
ence OF large amount of humus or
vegetable mold is an essential for
large and rapid growth. In the re.
glons where peat boys or muck soil
abound the crop may be more easily
produced on these than on any other
soils. but the keeping qualities are not
SO good, and the flavor is never eoual
