BUSINESS MAN Is CHOICE Birmingham's Postmaster
 Must Be First Class GOSSIP ABOUT RACE Several Names Are Mentioned But Carpenter Seems to Be Re-
 ceiving Strong Support
 From All Sides

.I want republican for postmaster. who is recognized by the community as a frst-class business man. And such type of man is the only kind that I would con- sider supporting"
 The foregoing was the interesting con- tribution of Joseph o. Thompson, eollec- tor of internal revenue and one of the l men who is to exercise influence in nam ing the next postmaster of this city. He returned yesterday from his plantation in South Alabama, where he went several days ago. Further than this statement he has refrained from commenting. MT. Thompson said that he was not commit ted to any man in the race but that he especially desired that the postoffice be filled with a recognized business man for the good of the community.
 The developments in the postoffice ap- pointment yesterday consisted chiefly Of the return to the city of MT. Thompson and his comment and several conferences which were held by A. H. Carpen- ter, who has the recognized lead in the race. It is expected that he will make some formal announcement in connection with his application soon, al- though yesterday MT Carpenter had noth- ing to add to the statement made Sunday that he was not ready to talk.
 The race for postmaster here will no doubt involve some very active work. It Is said to be the intention of some of the republicans here to recommend to the administration, that a business man be given the place.
 The appointment of a postmaster, ac- cording to the general opinion, will be made very soon. No exact date can be named.
 The local members of the Barker fac tion were busy yesterday getting ready for the state convention and the county convention. The latter precedes the state convention and is to be held in Birming- ham. The candidates suggested from the Barker camp are Alex Birch, T. J. kenne- mar, deputy marshall; G. c. Willis of the United States marshals office and others Their candidacy is said to bear the approval of Pope M. Long, who will succeed J. O. Thompson as state chair man and Maj. P D. Barker of Mobile. However. no formal statement has been issued
 In addition to Mir Carpenters making strong, persistent fight for the postmas- tership, George Clarke is arranging a pe- tition, and as he is widely known here he will probably prove to be formidable opponent.

LUCKETT STUMPED

The ticket agents here and at various other cities are frequently called upon to render unique services. However, the limit was reached yesterday when R w.. Luckett, terminal ticket agent was asked from Tuscaloosa to remove from a lady passenger on the Alabama Great Southern fast train, "a black top skirt, made on latest style, panel back and front" Mr. Luckett is @ rather modest, retiring citizen and the re- quest was left unnoticed. The telegram read:
 Tuscaloosa, Ala. August 6, 1911. Ticket Agent, Terminal Station, Bir-
 mingham, Ala:
 "Stope one Mrs Black, who left Tus- caloOsa, Ala, this a. m. on 9:3O train. She's 66 years of age, She has got my black top skirt. Made. on latest style panel back and front. Get the skirt for me and let her go"

ATTEND MEETING
 AT TRUSSVlLLE
Chairman Moore Comments On Ac-
 tions of Newly Appointed Ex- else Commissioners

{ Jones G. Moore, chairman of the local option campaign committee, and a num- fer of members of the committee went to Trussyile last night to attend a rally end mass meeting at that point. MT. Moore has appointments to speak every might this week. He states that he is much opposed to holding political gather angs on Sunday, and that so far as his campaign committee is concerned none will be held.
 lie is much pleased at the outlook and ri;erated his former statement that the in dcations grew better each day for a sweeping victory for local option, and that many converts from the ranks of the dis rensary advocates were being made.
 In speaking of the excise commission he said that the fears of the opposition forces were all visionary, being based entirely on suppositions and presumptions. He referred to the action of the excise com emissions of Montgomery and Sheffield. which have both placed severe restrictions as to where saloons shall be located.
 He said he was informed that the people of Montgomery were delighted with the actions of the excise commission of that tov n iu excluding saloons from Dexter avenue, and said it was a. sure proof that the peoples wishes and not those of any interest or ring were being con- siGel ed He also referred to the fact that the excise commission of Montgomery hal refused to consider an application of a small hotel keeper who had attempted to evade the law by dividing the rooms of his hotel to come within the 3O-room provision. He was absolutely turned down. MT. Moore stated that any fair light of the excise appointments of the governor in the counties that have voted wet, and their subsequent acts ,the alarm of the oppositionists was poorly grounded.

TEAR DIMMEO EYES
 AT SCHENK TRIAL
The Jury Manifested Sympathy With
 Accused Woman

Wheeling w Va, Jan. 24.-Appar- entIy unmoved by the bitter invec- tive from Assistant Prosecutor Fred l.. Maury in his opening argument yesterday. Laura Farnsworth Schenk, broke down today and sobbed almost continually while her own attorneys presented their side to the jury. The first emotion came when OBrien in his opening speech. mentioned the two children. of whose company she has been deprived since her arrest. It was while Chief Attorney O'Brien was making his plea. that she showed most marked emotion and the jury men. too, shed tears while there were many tear -dimmed eyes fin the crowd ed courtroom.
 O'Brien drew a vivid picture of the lonely incarceration of the prisoner on the three real holidays of the year. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years-she was not even permitted to send her two children the little presents she had worked and made for them. the work of her own hands, he declared.
 In the morning session, Mir. Maury. resumed his argument in behalf of the state: He again touched upon the principal points brought out in rela- ton to the poison found in the medi- cine taken by Schenk and the fact that defendant had bought it.
 O'Briens address was largely one which attacked the witnesses offered by the state and he pleaded for sym pathy with the accused woman.
 $. O. Bovce. the third attorney for the defense, paid his respects to Dan iel z Phillips. who offered damaging testimony against Mrs Schenk, char acterizing Phillips as 'writhing worm. who sGuirmed himself into the affections of Laura Schenk, only to accept her presents and damn her character"
