In spite of three pistol wounds in
her head, the girl today began to i'm
prove and tonight it was said that the
physicians now believe her recovery
quite likely. Today for the first time
since she was secretly brought to the
hospital last Thursday, she consented
to take food For the first time also
she manifested interest i'm her prob

declared that she wanted to die and
have buried with her a mans hand
kerchief and bunch of withered vic
lets which she brought with her to
Virginia Beach.
The Police Department, after all
the publicity the affair has received,
has not received a single inquiry
from the outside world woman
who was today sent to her bedside to
question the girl could learn nothing
from her Apparently the only clue
to her identity is the laudanum vial
found with the girl marked willow

HUNDLEY JUDGESHIP IS
 NOW IN CRYPTIC STATE

Washington, April 5.-(Speolal. 1.-The Alabama senators today gave out the fol- lowing cryptic statement.
 Senators Bankhead and Johnston have had an interview with the President in regard to to the judgeship, extending over nearly an hour and a half and in which the President showed that he was quite familiar with every detail of the case. He intimated plainly that he desired to ap- point republican fit, capable and accept able.
 ''The conversation covered a discussion of all the republicans whose names have been presented and was perfectly frank and with the Presidents information per fectly fair
 He asked the senators to regard the interview as confidential and they do not feel at liberty to give out any details whatever. All that they can say is that the President has not reached definite conclusion. He authorized them, how ever, to state that there was no haste about the matter; that Judge Hundley was In Alabarra discharging the duties of the office and the business of the courts was going on as usual and that

LIVELY CONTEST
 FOR MAYORALTY

Springfield. H., April 5.-Springfield fin- ished lively mayoralty fight tonight. The closing of saloons on Sundays is the paramount issue. Former Lieutenant Governor Lawrence Sherman heads the republican ticket on a platform that fla vors Sunday saloon closing.
 Attorney John S. Schnepp, democratic candidate, promises reform, but is silent on the Sunday saloon issue
 Consternation was caused today by Judge Shirley's decision in the circuit court holding that the township ticket headed by Fred Yazell for assessor and opposed to Sherman, was the only legal township ticket of the republicans.
 The Sherman ticket against which the court decided, will appear on the reg ular ballots tomorrow, however. The rival township tickets were nominated by rival factions of the republican com mittee Legal technicalities were due to the new primary law. The election com- mission has appealed the decision of Judge Shirley to The appellate court.

Havana, April 5.-Congress convened this afternoon, the sessions of both houses being devoted to the reading of the pres ident's message. This was a very long document, largely taken up with an ex- haustiye consideration of the details of internal affairs.
 Vice President Alfredo Zayas returned from the United States in time to preside at the opening of the senate.
 The general tone of President Gomezs 8 message was hopeful and encouraging, but a warning note was sounded in the fol- lowing paragraph:
 ''The political problems of our country. as in the case of some others of similar origin and education, contain one evil fests itself in tendency to create and maintain a third party, even other fac tions arising from the vice of social dis- integration, which unfortunately seems characteristic of the southern race. The same conditiov is manifest in the ten- dency toward rebellion, against every thing wearing the badge of discipline, order, method and subordination to the will of social collectivity In this we have one fact, which, small as 1t may be. is not encouraging"
 The reference to third party is con- sidered of significance as indicating the possible imperfection of the fusion be- tween the Zayistas and Miguelistas. The message says the condition of the national treasury is fai1ly satisfactory. There was
