BOY BURGLARS. The store of the Swan q
Sibley Co. was entered Sunday evening, April
Both, and a box of plug tobacco, some loose
plugs, two fountain pens and package of
needles taken. Two boys who had been seen
about the building Sunday were suspected and
were arrested and had hearing before Judge
Rogers in the police court last Thursday A
day or two before two boys were on the street
selling, or trying to sell, me cut tobacco put
up IN tin boxes. Among other places they
called at the store of Capt. John w. Jones.
asked where they got it. and they said they
sent away for it.. This coming to the atten-
ton of the authorities City Marshal Knowlton
telephoned Capt. Jones and asked if he would
be able to identify the boys and he said he
would. When summoned to the police court
he was asked if the boys under arrest were
those who wanted to sell him tobacco and
promptly said that they were not. Mr. C. S.
Bickford of the Swan & Sibley Co. said that
the tobacco taken from their storehouse was
plug tobacco. The boys before the court were
Albert Hall, 9 years old. and Ralph A. McCabe,
8 years old. When asked, individually, if they
were in the store of Swan & Sibley Co. on the
night in question each denied, saying that they
stood outside while the other went in. There
is no doubt, however. but that both were in the
store, and one of them is reported to have said
that had they not been frightened away by a
passer-by they intended to attack the safe
with hammer and chisel they had with them
for that purpose. and if they got the money
they expected they were to start for Texas.
Judge Rogers found probable cause and bound
the boys over for the September term of the
S. J. court under bonds of 500 each. Mrs.
Nellie A. Hall and Fred A. Robbins gave bonds
for Hall. and Mrs. Seth Merchant and Mrs.
Matte P. McCabe for McCabe. The stolen
goods had been hidden in lumber pile and
were recovered.

OSCAR UNDERWOOD
 FOR THE PRESIDENCY
New York Sun Discusses Him as Desirable Man to
 Head Democratic Ticket

New York, July 26.-(Special. )-Follow- ing The Age-Heralds suggestion that Oscar w. Underwood was the practical man for the democratic party's candidate for President, the New York Sun says in an editorial under the caption, srhe I'm derwood Boom:'
 'Is the south forever to be treated as closed territory, it's people kept under political ban, it's leaders barred from the highest ambition in which men of every other community may indulge?
 If the solid south be forgotten for 6 moment, what reason can be urged for not regarding MT. Underwood of Ale hama as a desirable candidate for the democratic nomination for President? He has experience, knowledge. tact and skill In q situation packed with oppor- tunities for error he has shown ability Of the highest order. He has accomplishe l with care the hard task set for him, t.;e creation of legislative machine out 2f raw, inexperienced and not overmodest or too harmonious members. Ills conduct on the floor, in committee and in the more intimate associations of his office has been marked by restraint and good temper He has shown. not only with the theories of his party but with the necessities of the government, an ints- mate acquaintance that his opponents Loped and his partisan followers outside his immediate circle feared he might not possess. He has imposed a rule of reI- son on the majority in the House withouv friction or i'll feeling. He has not been compelled to retract, explain or disown any of his statements. And he has cour- age. He is not afraid of the volunteer guardians of the party creed. no matter how loud their bray or how effective tleir methods of achieving publicity.
 MT. Underwood seems to have tn qualifications that reasonable persons look for in a candidate for Presiden, He is handicapped by hailing from un- debatable ground. Outside of this. nc impediment to his candidacy is appar- ent, unless the democratic party still retains it's aversion to going before the electors with 8 sane man as it's leader. U

NO MORE OBSTACLE FOR WARRIOR BILL UnderwOOd's Action Gives
 It Good Chance DELEGATION TO TAFT The President Is Formally Invited to Selma in October-Will Give His Answer at Later
 Date
DELEGATION TO TAFT
By WALTER HARPER

Washington. July 26.-(Speclal.)- The last obstacle was removed from the way of the passage of the Johnston Black Warrior river improvement bill by the adoption of Oscar Under wood's s resolution in the democratic caucus al- lowing consideration of local emer- gensy legislation at the present ses- sion.
 Under the rules of the former caucus of the party the Johnston bill was doomed to remain in committee until the meeting of the regular session which practically meant its permanent death for the reason that delay means such advancement on the work al Lock II that the plans could not be changed The bill which will now be reported into the House provides for the rais- ing of Lock 17 from 21 to 63 feet. The work of construction has already been begun under contract for 21 feet, but is not so far advanced that the plans cannot be changed to 6S feet. But . delay in the passage of the bill would mean that the present contract would be so far advanced that the change could not be made.
 Mir. Underwood Is interested in the proposed improvement on the Warrior river and had this Legislation in mind no doubt when he worked his resoiu- tion through the caucus.
 It Is believed now that the bill will secure final passage before adjourn ment of the present session. This is the bill that provides for the developments of water power in cooperation with a corporation headed by T. II. Frel of North Birmingham. MT. Friel is in Washington and is delighted with the prospects for the measure.

 MT. Keeley insisted that juxtaposition Of the Lorimer bank item and the White story were accidental | MT. Hancey. asked If the Tribune cn gagged Alfred Austrian for it's counsel In the White-Lorimer matter because of any
 close relation of Austrian's firm to the
 states attorneys office in Chicago MT
 Eeeley responded that Mir. Austrian was
 employed by the Tribune as its counsel
 long before the White confession or the
 Lorimer election came up. 1 Mir. Hanecy produced copy of the | Tribune of May 8, 1910. This date was | a few days subsequent to the publica-
