DIR. HUGHES FOR
 POSTMAS
Gossip Has Connected His Name With Place and He Makes
 Statement.

The mention of the name of pr. J. w. Hughes, formerly Birmingham post master, for the office which has been under consideration so long is being dis cussed by local republicans. Some are inclined to discredit it, while others be- lieve that President Taft may be lock- ing for men who are adverse to Roose- welt for the fat offices.
 When seen last night Dr. Hughes said:
 q am not an applicant for the post mastership and have taken no steps look ing to my appointment. However. if 1t was offered to me by President Taft 1t served eight years as postmaster. I could not decline it, provided that it met with the approval of the republicans, the pat rons of the office, and with the business community especially, notwithstanding the fact that 1t would be quite a sacri- flee on my part from a financial stand point While my efforts as former post master of Birmingham were addressed especially toward giving efficient service to the business interests of this district and while I would so direct my efforts if appointed now, still I have rather de- republican convention there would be two delegates from this district voting for MT Tafts renomination on all roll calls. immaterial who the candidates might he

HIGH SCHOOL PLAYS
 AFTERNOON GAME
WILL TAKE MEASURE OF NEW oR- LEANS Y. M. C.. A. AND PROMISES TO GIVE BEST THEY HAVE IN STOCK.

The members of the High school bas ketban five consider themselves in fine shape for the engagement that is to take place this afternoon at the Athletic club gymnasium with the team of the New Orleans Young Mems Christian as- sociation, which is to meet the local Young Mems Christian association to- night.
 Much enthusiasm has been aroused of late in High school athletic circles over the popular winter sport and 1t is be- lived a crowd of reoters will be present this afternoon that will tax the capacity of the gymnasium gallery. All the men are in fine condition and ready for a battle royal, They expect to win. though the odds may be against them, and will die hard if die they must.
 The gathering will be something of a. social event with the younger set and a loyal and warm-hearted gang of root CTS is expected. The following sponsors and maids have been appointed to at tend, personally and officially:
 Sponsors, Miss Vivian Howard, Miss Al- berta Rogers, Miss sallie will Hulsey; escorts, MT. Randolph Thornton, Mr. Oaks Brown, MT. Archie Mcclure.
 As has been announced, two games will be played, the preliminary contest to be pulled off between the High school re- serves and the team representing the Powell school In order that all grammar school students may be given an oppor- tunity to attend, the price for their ad- mission will be reduced to 10 cents, while the regular admission will be 25 cents. The following will probably be the line up for the big game:
 Estes, left forward Hood right for ward; Luther Strange, center Hit, left guard Zielminski, right guard substi- tutes, Meadow, Odom, Everett, Strange, Harsh.
 for the second team the following will perform:
 Hancl1en. right forward Goldstein. left forward; Mathis, center; Wingo, left guard; P. Turney, right guard; sub stitutes Hodgs and Seawright
 Coach G. N Messer has been work ing with his bunch this season and has produced what is considered a more than snappy aggregation. His success in handling the scarce material for football last fall has given him among local amateur athletes the reputation of being crackerjack in his line and probably the best physical director that has yet struck the High school.

JOKE IS ON THE OFFICERS
Barrel Contained a Nice
Catch.
Officers Were Invited TO the Base
ment OF Coonrod and Ables Where
the Head of Barrel Was Knock-
ell Out.

A barrel of fish. two policemen,
six attorneys and fifty curious specta-
tors, were the principals in an inter-
esting little incident which occurred
at the Abel & Coonrod cafe, on east
Center street last night.
1t was about 8 O'Clock last night
when Chief KlneIfelter received a
telephone communication from
Jerome Hostetter, the night patrol
man of the West End. "a barrel Of
booze has just arrived: u il addressed
to Abel & Coonrod: better put some
of the uptown boys on the trail and
we'll make a cleaning" whispered the
watchful detective.
A little later the supposed barrel
of whiskey. was loaded on dray and
transferred to the Abel e Coonrod
cafe where 1t was deposited on the
sidewalk Patrolmen Shrock and
stevens were standing in the shadows
when the barrel was unloaded. They
were much surprised when they saw
that the barrel was allowed to set In
such a conspicuous place.
Several people who were standing
about the cafe noticed the officers
watching the barrei and notified
Charles Coonrod. The restaurant
proprietor Immediately approached
the officers and asked them IL they
wanted to know what was in the bar
rel
I'VE know our business" sarcas-
| tically replied one of the uniformed
| men.
About thirty minutes elapsed when
Attorney ID. r. Crissinger entered the
restaurant Lets divide those fish,
he remarked as he addressed Nelson
Abel. The big barrel was placed on
a truck and a strong man started TO
wheel 1t through the restaurant. the
barrel had scarcely catered the por-
tails of the cafe when Shrock ana
stevens darted I'm with vicious look
| in their eyes.

Patrolman Shrock as he boldly clutch

the barrel was lifted and the hnes'
lot of fish that pair of eyes ever
looked upon. We're disclosed, The
crowd looked about for the police
