 President Eliot emphatically denies that he ever said that there was a suffrage problem in the north owing to the predom- nance of Catholics.

PRESIDENT ELIOT GIVES
 VIEWS ON RACE QUESTION

Montgomery, March S.-"There should be no admixture of racial stocks," de- clared retiring President Eliot of Harvard university tonight in an interview. T believe, for example, that the Irish should not intermarry with the Americans of English Descent; that the Germans should not marry the Italians; that the Jews should not marry the French. Each race should maintain its own individuality. The experience of civilization shows that racial stocks are never mixed with profit and that such unions do not bring forth the best and strongest children. There is no reason. however, why the races can not live together side by side, in perfect peace and amity.
 "In the case of the negroes and tho whites, the races should be kept apart

Chief Topic of Discussion.

Chief Topic of Discussion.
 The Hundley case continues to be the chief topic of eiscussion in Birmingham It is naturally of absorbing interest in legal circles.
 Whether or not Judge Hundley will serve on the bench beyond his recess appointment seems to be largely a mat ter of conjecture. No one here has any definite information beyond the fact that Judge Hundley has been appointed by President Taft and that he has taken the oath of office His friends here say they feel confident that the Presi- dent will do as President Roosevelt did send his name to the Senate and stick to him until the Senate takes final &C., ton.
 Capt. Frank P. O'Brfen, father-in-law or Judge Hundley, characterized the ru- nor that the judge would accept a for eign appointment as false and absurd. ;,
 J udge Hundley," said Captain O'Brien
 expects to be on the bench in the North ern district of Alabama the remainder of his lie. It is well known that he was rendered consul generalship at Mexico at one time but declined it. believing that ne would be appointed judge of this dis trict.
 The constant support which .Iudee Hundley Is receiving from disinterested friends throughout the Northern district is a tribute which is valued by him and myself, almost much as any poIitica1 preferment could be-"
 It having been said repeatedly that in the event President Taft did not noml- nate Judge Hundley to the Senate and went outside of the republican party for a judge, E. K. Campbell would stand the best chance of appointment, Mr. Camp bell last night made the following state ment:
 The reports and rumors in press mo- tices and publications in the papers con- cernlng me in connection with the fed eral judgeship have not been authorized by me. l have not been notified of any vacancy and am not trying to create one"
 Judge Jones Arrives Today.
 Judge Thomas G. Jones will arrive in Birmingham at noon today and will con vene the spring term of the United States circuit court at o'clock this afternoon. He will charge the grand jury and start the court machinery to running Judge Hundley will arrive tonight and take charge of the criminal docket tomorrow morning
 Judge Jones has a number of civil cases and motions to hear and will remain In Birmingham hearing the attorneys in his chambers for several days.
 Marshal Pope Long received tele- gram yesterday morning from Judge Hundley instructing him to convene court at 10 o'clock this morning and take re- cess until tomorrow, but the presence of Judge Jones in the city will change this order. There is however, no con- h1ct between the two judges.

American play" many critics have
termed it. The unquestioned power and
intense human appeal of this master
piece of dramatic literature, as well as
the intelligent and highly artistic
presentation and production, as direct
ed by the postmaster of the stage
craftsmanship, Henry Miller, easily
explains the phenomenal vogue this
piece has attained. During the two
seasons engagement at the Princess
and Days theatres, and later at the
Academy of Music, New York, 1t was
emily possible to secure seats by buy
ing them weeks in advance or procur-
ing them at advanced prices from
spectators. Over a half a million
people saw this great play in New
York City alone during the GOO per-
formances. "The great divide" will be
given here by a superb company with
all the wealth of scenic equipment and
the complete production precisely as
presented during the metropolitan en-
gagement.
