Onicers Chosen for Law Class and Ath-
 letic Association.
 University, Sept. 23.-(Special.) )-At a meeting of the senior law class, the following officers were elected: Presi- dent, E. c. Burke of Montgomery; Vice President, S. c. Pruitt of Ashland Secretary and Treasurer. J. c. Davis of Birmingham; Orator, H. B. Groom of Mobile; Poet, W. T. Dozier of Birming- ham; Historian, B. F. Smith of Alexan- der City. The meeting was very har- monious. the officers being elected unanimously.
 An important meeting of the Athletic Association was held in Clark Hall, al which the most important business was the adoption of a new constitution and the election of officers for the ensuing year.
 The old constitution had proved sat. isfactory in most respects. but there were some hitches in the working of the Executive Committee. Conse- quently the most important changes were made in regard to the organsza- tion and duty of this body. The new constitution provides that this com mittee shall be made up of three mem- bers of the University faculty. one of whom is to be the physical director; five members of the alumni body, two of whom must be residents of Tusca- loosa; and four representatives from the student body, two of whom are to be fraternity men and two non-frater- nitv men. The alumni are the new members of the committee which, in the past has been composed exclusively of members of the faculty and of the student body.
 When the new constitution had been adopted, the association proceeded to the election of officers. The result was as follows: President. B. B. Edwards of Union Springs; Vice-President, O. c. Gresham of Prattville; Secretary and Treasurer ex oficio, Dr. J. W. H. Pol lard. athletic director: student mern- bers of the Executive Committee, Mer- Till Pratt of Prattville. and J. B. Noo- fin of Gadsden from the fraternity men, and H. W. Arant of Notasulga and c. c. Countess of DuncanvIlle from the non raternity men.
 Professor Gustav Wittig. recently appointed to the chair of physics and electrical engineering in the Univer- sity faculty. arrived here last Monday and immediately assumed the duties of his position. He came here from the University of Maine. where he hold the position of assistant professor of elec- trical engineering.

 The cardinal principle which this day emphasizes is that the individual may approach his Aaker, confess his error and try to mend his ways.

An Irish King of Portugal.

An Irishman was once king of Por-
tugal. or at least he once ruled in the
kings stead over that country. In No
vember 1910. there was a revolution in
Portugal. brought about by the tyran-
meal exactions of Miguel Vasconcellos,
the secretary Of state. The hated min
lister was shot and the vice queen, Mar
garet of Savoy, abdicated. The crown
was offered to the Duke of BraganZa,
who was living at Villavicosia. Mean
while. until the duke should accept the
crown. the people Of Lisbon elected a
popular and influential Irish merchant,
named John Darcy. who resided in the
city. as their nominal king. Darcy ac-
copied the honor conferred upon him
and bore the title of king Of Portugal
from Dec. 1 to Dec 6. 164O.

NOW IN FLORENCE, ITALY

ST Petersburg. Feb. 1.-THE police
are again bounding Maxim Gorky,
the great novelist Of Russia. A war
rant was issued for his arrest today.
In it the Russian is described as a
house painter of Mizhni Novgorod.
Gorky is at present in Italy and his
friends here say that it is probable
that he will take up permanent resi-
dence in Florence If the Cars po-
lice could send him to Siberia they
would be only too glad to please the
government by doing so. The charge
against him is of a political nature.
He has been active in aiding the rev.

feared that the Russian spies have
secured some strong evidence
against him.
