SEVERE ON HUNDLEY
LATE JUDGE Is SUBJECT OF DE-
BATE IN HOUSE.
Alabama Members Think Salary
Ought to he Paid--say state Is
Glad TO BE Rid
of Him

Washington, July Especial y
In the House this afternoon, when the
paragraph was reached to compensate
Oscar r. Hundley for the time he
served as acting Judge of the Northern
District of Alabama, Representative
Macon (Ark. objected, claiming there
was no authority under existing laws
to pay him the money.
At first, the chairman of the Com
mittee of the Whole overruled the
point OF order, but Mr.. Macon argued
the matter further. Just then Repre-
sentative Burnett, one OF the six Ala
bama members of the House. who OPP
posed bitterly the Hundley nomination
while 1t was before the Senate. arose
and said he hoped the point would be
withdrawn. He explained that while
he and his associates had done every
thing in their power to defeat Hundley
and were glad of what they had ac-
complished. they thought that as he
had been acting Judge. with 'all the
powers OF a Judge, II was only right
that he should be paid for the time he
discharged the duties.
Chairman Tawney OF the appTopria-
tions committee, put In some ticks for
Hundley, and asked to have inserted
In the record statements from the At
torney-GeneraI bearing on the matter.
floor and advocated the payment of
the money to Hundley. but he went
for the former acting Judge in lively
fashion. He gave history of the
long and successful fight. which re-
suited in the withdrawal of the name
of HundIey by President Taft and the
appointment of his successor. Inter-
estingly, he related how the six DEM
ccratlc Representatives had fought
Hundley from start to finish. He made
the pointed statement also that as far
as he knew. this was all the opposi-
ton Eundley had from the Alabama
delegation in Congress.
He told the House that Hundley had
made a very poor Judge while on the
bench, and had been found to be an I'M
fit man and that was why the Senate
was not for confirming him.
In concluding his remarks. MT
Clayton declared that as much as he
was opposed to Hundley's confirmation,
and delighted as he was at his defeat,
he thought he should be paid for the
time he served as acting Judge.
1--WE are glad to get rid of him In
Alabama" he said. even at the price
of more than $4,000.
Mr.. Macon did some more explaining,
and suddenly the chairman reversed
himself and announced that the point
OF order against the appropriation.
made by the Arkansas man, was sus-
tanned. 1t Is understood that an ef-
fort will be made to have the Item
restored when the urgent denciency
bin reaches the Senate.
Representative Burnett was today
elected member of the Democratic Con-
gressional Committee for Alabama.

A full meeting of the Board consist
ing of Chairman Charles Henderson

cite, and other points nearby. that an
exorbitant rate was charged by the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad for

Disclaiming any powers of the clair
voyant or of the spirit medium. Ruth
Grey, Monday night, charmed many
Montgomerians in the open tent on
Dexter avenue in front of the Capitol
with her mental magic" Miss Grey
is possessed of strong and pleasing
personality. and her answers to ques-
lions last night were, characterized by
a clear enunciation and charm of man
manner.
Miss Grey's performance is of the
character which appeals to an audience
of high intelligence. Lacking the dis
tor~ed facial expressions of the ordin-
AIRY hypnotic subject. Miss Grey's ex-
hibition of mind reading and fortune
telling" has charm that appeals to
those seeking amusement. without en-
failing a nervous strain.
On her first appearance last night.
Miss Grey answered about twenty queR-
lions. Some OF the answers were of a
serious vein. while others were simply
amusing; all were entertaining. Her
manager requests that the audience
write some question upon a card. place
the card inside an envelope. and seal
the envelope. These envelopes are then
taken up and PLACID in the hands of
the manager Miss Grey is blindfold-
ed. and upon the word of the mana
ger begins calling the initials and
sometimes the names of those who
have asked questions. She then makes
her answer.
Miss Grey claims that she Is pos
sessed of no higher powers than the
average person, but does claim that she
has developed a sense that the aver
age person usually overlooks--that of
mental telepathy mixed with an unpre-
tudlced judgment
Joe Blake Is sandwiched in between
Miss Grey's performances, and enter
tains the audience with a well executed
cabinet trick, and few slight of hand
manipulations He was we'll received.
Miss Grey will appear at the tent
theatre all week at night, and on
Thursday afternoon will give q spe-
cial matinee for women only at 4:1E
o'clock.
