Address Issued To Lawyers
 Of North Alabama District

To the Lawyers of the Northern District
 of Alabama:
 The latest information from Washing ton indicates. clearly that the appointment of Oscar R. Hundley as judge of the Northern district will not be confirmed by the United States Senate at this ses- sion of Congress.
 With the expiration of this session of Congress the office of additional judge of the Northern, district will be vacated. and upon Judge Tafts inauguration the re- sponsibility will devolve upon him to se- lect a lawyer for this important position No man can read Judge Taft's speeches in Augusta and Atlanta without being convinced that he has given to appoint ments in the south and to appointments upon the federal bench profound and pa- triotic thought.
 In his Augusta speech to tHe Bar as- sociation he said in part:
 If l cannot sit on the bench to gratify the earnest desire I have had, at least can make 1t as earnest an effort as the sacred duty obliges me to do, to select the best judges that I can for the discharge of the important duties that fall to fed eral judges.
 'We are all lawyers and every one eligible to appointment, and 1t makes it exceedingly difficult for the executive, es- peeially in the appointment of the local judges-and I regard them only less i'm portant than the supreme judges-to se- cure the men who have the standing at the bar, the experience and the ability that they ought to have to step upon the bench and administer justice in the community where they live.'
 In his Atlanta speech Judge Taft used the following language:
 "Al I can say with reference to the flu ture policy of the administration in the south on this subject is that I expect to spare no effort to find out the facts in respect to the character of the proposed appointees, and so far as in me lies to se- lect those whose character and reputation and standing in the community commend them to their fellow citizens as persons qualified and able to discharge their duties we'll and whose presence in important positions will remove, if any such thing exists the sense of alienism in the gov ernment which they represent"
 The thoughtful reader of these speeches must recognize Judge Tafts sincere de- termination, so far as in him lies, to ele vate the federal bench and to command the confidence of the people of the south ern states, not merely by words, but by the selection for federal positions in the

Deface New Hiqh School.

Not little indignation has been ex- pressed at the action of some persons yet unknown in defacing and mutila- ting parts of the new high school build ing, nearly completed. Some time be- tween Saturday evening and Monday morning yandals entered the building through the basement and with a sharp instrument of some kind, proceeded to damage and almost ruin the tiling and plumbing in the closets of the building. Not one escaped, it is reported by a member of the board of education who visited the building this morning and he was most severe in his denuncia- ton of the act. The police are investi- gating the matter, ,nand it will be no surprise if some arrests are made. The work was done for the purpose of ruin ing the building and certainly not for fun, as was shown by it's extent. The damage will amount to s150 to s2OO, which falls on the contractor, O. ". Vim, whose work has not been ac- cepted.

naval tugs the Mayfiower, gaily dressed herself in honor of the fleets return and the birthday of Washington, soon was seen making her way.
 The cheering ashore was begun again and swept in great wave up and down the crowded water front. The Mayfower passed close in shore and there was a tremendous craning of necks to catch a glimpse of the President and the other distinguished guests aboard. Passing Fortress Monroe the Presidents flag re- ceived the army's tribute of 21 guns. In accordance with prescribed etiquette and haughtily dsdainful the Mayfower steamed by without paying any more heed than she had to the double salute of the battleships.
 MayfioWer In Center.
 The Mayfiower came slowly to anchor in the center of the fleet. Swift little steam launches already had been low Aered with giant cranes from the divis- ional flagshps and were darting to the various ships to gather up the command ing officers for cal lon the President.
 Lastly the four admirals of the fleet entered the launches fin which their cap tains already were seated and the start for the Mayflower was made Admiral Sperry's launch was the first to reach the starboard gangway of the President s yacht and he was ushered aboard with a flare of trumpets, ruffle of drums and a few strains of a lively march played by the ships band.
 Officers Congratulated.
 President Roosevelt advanced from his station on the quarterback to cordially grasp Admiral Sperrys hand. Then came the captains of the first division and the succeeding admirals and cap tains of all the divisions and ships of the returning fleet.
 The commanding officers of the auxil- iaries, the Yankton, Culgoa and Panther also came aboard and their greeting was as cordial as that extended to the flag officers. FA
 President Roosevelt warmly consratu- lated each of the officers personally and then collectively he formally thanked them and all the officers and men under them for the part they played in mak- ing the cruise such a brilliant suc- cess.
 The flagship and commanding officers were on the Mayfiower less than half an hour Then the President, accompanied by Admiral Sperry and his aides, began { his round of visits to the divisional nag ships. He went first to the Connecticut Again the sides of the flagship were manned. The President was recelVeo aboard with the most elaborate cere- monies provided by the naval regulations. Again as he left the ship after having Sspoken briefly to the officers and men tho salute of 21 guns was fired. from the Connecticut the President went Tn turn to the Louisiana, the Georgia ana the Wisconsin Aboard each snip 1uii honors were paid and the rails or every vessel passed en route were manned with blue jackets at attention
 When the President returned to the Mayfiower late in the afternoon the not | able reception was at an end. Presidential flag was hoisted on each

south of men who command the esteem and respect of those who know them. If the President-elect of the United States is anxious to place upon the federal bench in the south men eminently quail fled to adorn that bench, certainly the lawyers of the south should lay aside per sonal preferences and partisan consider ations and, so far as they can, assist the President in making the best appoint ments- Beyond any desire to pick win ner, above any consideration of personal or party preference, the lawyers of the Northern district of Alabama are su- premely interested in aiding Judge Taft in the selection of a judge of the North ern district whose character is above re- proach and whose ability, temperament and professional attainments will make him acceptable to the lawyers and citi- zens of the Northern district of Alabama. We urge upon the lawyers of the district that there should be no unseemly scram- ble for this position and no nasty in- dorsements of possible winners, but that, as one bar we defer action until after the inauguration, and that we endeavor to hold ourselves, in position to give Judge Taft our honest opinions and best ad- vice as to the man or men best qualified : for this position, without regard to per sonal or political considerations. This request for concerted action in the effort to obtain an able, high-minded law yer for this position. as is evidenced by the signatures below. is participated in regardless of past differences by lawyers who have favored as well by those who have opposed Judge Hundleys con- firmation.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL DEFACED
By j. B. HOUSTON.

Bcssemer February 22.=(Special.)- The Greater Bessemer committee ap- pointed by the board of trade at it's last meeting met at the council cham Der tonight and discussed at some length the advisability of consolida- ton of the three towns.
 The committee was composed of May or Martin and Aldermen Houston and Saunders of Jonesboro; Mayor Lanier and Alderman Farr of Brighton, and Mayor Rush and Alderman Edmund son of Bessemer. It was the concensus of opinion of the committee that the view of the people should be heard and that they were willing to abide by the wishes of the people of their respective towns. Those present spoke rather faEoring. the consolidation, realizing the advantages to be derived out of such a union, but were democratic to the ex- tent that the people should be heard It was argued that the board of trade feel the pulse of the citizens of Jones' boro and Brighton and test the senti- ment at those places.
 None of the members spoke in any decided tone for the consolida tion. but spoke in rather conservation terms looking at the matter strictly from a business standpoint. Mayor Lanier said that if the people were satisfied he was, but that they would have to be convinced. The following resolution was offered by Alderman Houston and seconded by Alderman Farr:
 Resolved, That it be the sense of this meeting that the board of trade commence campaign to test the senti- ment of the people in the proposed Greater Bessemer territory with a view of getting an expression of the people as to whether or not they favor the consolidation.
 The meeting adjourned subject to call from the chairman.

Rain and Hail.

Bessemer has had severe storms, but the one of yesterday evening and early this morning was probably the worst ex- perienced here in years. Lightning struck the sun tower on the home of Jeff Clay, doing considerable. damage, and a bolt gave the city hall lick as it passed, while another smashed a dish on the din- ing table at the home of Dr. J. A B. Loyett. Curious to state, though, at none of the places did any fire result. Heavy rain and hail followed the electric dis play.
 The heavy rains have swollen Valley creek fuller than for months, all of the bottoms near the creek being covered with water from a few inches to several feet in depth. The great volume of water soon passed down, and this afternoon the stream Is almost normal.

National Salute.

That first gun of the Connecticut's na- tional salute to the President found every ship in line with saluting cannon ready, and the second powder puff from the flagship had not sounded when the guns of all the other ships had been. fired to speak in unison the honors due the chief executive The fleet was almost lost to view as the saluting was at its height, but the clearing veil of smoke flashed the ships into view in a far more brilliant picture than had been the first glance far out on the horizon.
 The President made hie way to the bridge of the Mayflower while the salut- ing was in progress. He had not long to wait before the imposing line was bear ing right down upon the reviewing boat. The scene, like that at the departure Of the fleet, was one which, the President probably never will forget. Mt set nerves tingling with patriotic pride. for there Is no more inspiring sight than long column of well-drilled fighting ships. On
