ATHLETIC CLUB DEFEATS
 MISSOURI CENTRAL GA TO 6
By KENNETH RorHARMEL

The Birmingham Athletic club basket ball five had it all over the quintet from the Missouri Central College last night in an uninteresting game played on the floor of the Athletic club gym. The boys from the "show me" state failed to live up to their stately reputation or if they had any of the show me desire in them, they certainly had 1t satisfied by the end of the game. If the Missouri team was just representation of the class of teams that that state puts out perhaps it would be better if they stuck to raising army mules and put Dquietus on the basketball playing.
 The Birmingham team displayed an abundance of "pep" and tossed goals almost at will Their team was superb at times and they put up a champion ship article of basketball. The forwards were exceptionally fast with a good eye for throwing baskets. The work of the guards is shown by the fact that neither of the Missouri forwards registered field goal. Ritchie and Satterfield, changing off at the pivotal position, continually outtumped Captain Hargls of the visiting team. These two men were the chief point getters for the home team, regis tering up 25 points between them, while neither one of them played the whole game.
 Captain Hargis of the visitors was the

FORTY-E|GHT MEN
 KNOWN ID BE DEAD
In Germany as Result of Eating Poisoned Food
 Recently

Berlin, December 29.-Forty igh men are known to be dead, with the possibility of six or eight further deaths, in the various lodging houses here and elsewhere as result of some unknown poison. It was believed at first that the poisoning was due to ptomaines from putrid fish which the men are supposed to have eaten on the night of December 2S. About 40 men are still suffering from the ef- fects of the poison, of whom only two are thought to be out of danger
 One man has died at Potsdam and two in Abarn in a suburb, their symp- toms corresponding to those shown in the Berlin cases. While the majority of the men died Wednesday. about 30 be- came i'll on Thursday and the crisis may not yet have been reached
 Six autopsies which were performed leave the authorities in a puzzled state. They are as yet unable to assign a definite cause of death. Examination of the viscera and contents show signs of typical bacterial poison but these are so slight as to make it impossible to find basis for possible diagnosis The investigators, however, announce that there are no indicat tions of con- tagious disease. They still incline to the theory of bacterial smoked fish.

 Dr. Cunningham stated that he would not take up the time with his talk but would introduce the speaker of the day, Senator Johnston. He paid a glowing tribute to the senator, "who is a distinguished Confederate soldier, private citizen, governor and now sen ator."
 Senator Johnstons remarks were closely followed by the crowd, many of whom while they know him well as public man had not before seen him. He said that he was glad that the committee had invited him to Ems sonal pride in your postoffce in sev- eral ways aside from the reason that have taken an active part Tn helping you get it." he said. This is my first experience in laying a cornerstone, ex- cept as a Mason, but I'll do my best. When the appropriation bill, which eff fected this building, among others, reached the Senate it was referred to the Senate committee and that body did me the courtesy to invite me be- fore it, stating that the appropriations were too high and that they would like for me to assist them in revising the measure and asked me if l could tell them what to do.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The SpeculatOrs"

The Lyman Twins appeared at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night in a musical play called "The Speculators.' With the exception of one mildly humorous character in the person of a college professor who is imbroiled in the escapades of one of his students, the comedy of the piece is rather tiresome. However, there was a number of attractive song spe- cialties presented in a pleasing way. There are several fairly good voices in the company, which were heard ad- vantageously in songs that were tune ful. The Lyman Twins, Miss Patti Rosa, Miss Emma Abott. Clark Mounts and Wilbur Martin had the principal parts. Both Miss Rosa and Miss Ab- bolt sing well. Miss Abbott makes a winsome sweetheart and Miss Rosa q more vivacious type, possesses magne- tisn1. MT. Martin did very well as the college professor. Memories" "Geel It's Hard to Say Goodbye" and "Oh, You Slide Trombone" were the best song numbers

 T wish to say something to the ladies 1 have travelled a great deal in my day and have seen many beau tiful women and I have thought that any of them were good enough for any man, but when I come to our dear southland and look upon the fair wom- en of Dixie I am inclined to think that they are too good for any man.

FOUR APPLICANTS FOR SUPREME BENCH Harlan's Successor May Be
 Named Tuesday AGE AGAINST NAGEL President Will Make Selection From Hook, Nagel, Kellogg or Suther-
 land-Borah Continues in
 Race--Many Candidates

Washington, December 2S.-President Taft probably will decide next Tuesday upon the man to succeed the late Jus tice Harlan on the supreme court bench The field of possible appointees has been narrowed to four men, and tonight it was said that selection may be looked for at the next meeting of the cabinet January 9 The nomination probably will be sent to the Senate next week.
 The four from whom the President will make the selection were said tonight to be United States Circuit Judge Hook, Kansas >City; Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel. Senator Sutherland of Utah and Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota, trust buster for the government, and it's prosecutor in the Standard Oil suit Sem ator Borah of Idaho, 1t was said, has not been entirely eliminated from con sideration, but the choice rests appar- ertly between the other four men. Of these men Judge Hook and Senator Suth- erland stand foremost, although both Secretary Nagel and Mr. Kellogg are still 'in the running
 Judge Hook was under consideration by the President last year when he made his supreme court appointments, and his packers have been active this winter.
 One fact said to initiate against Sec retary Nage is that he is 63 years old. and President Taft declared several times that no man should go on the bench after he reached the age of 60. MT. Kellogg's candidacy has been vigor- ously pushed by his friends.
 As at present constituted, the third, fourth and seventh circuits are unrep- resented on the supreme court. and the fifth and sixth each have two, Chief Justice White and Justice Lamar and Justices Day and Lurton. and specula- lively all four of the leading candidates come from the eighth circuit, already represented by Justice Van Devdener, appointed last year, but candidates suS- sestcd from the vacant circuits, while considered by the President, have been eliminated one by one.

VARDAMAN WINS
 INJUNCTION FIGHT
Chancellor Declines to Dissolve It and
 Case Goes to the Supreme a Court

Jackson, Miss, December 2S.-Chan- cellor Garland Lyell has declined to dissolve the injunction he granted last week restraining Special Commissioner Frank Peyton from taking dispositions in the Vardaman case instituted by At torney General Hudson and Judge Brame to secure an accounting on the contingent and other trust funds that passed through his hands while gov ernor.
 . The hearing covered the greater part of two days several of the most prom inent attorneys of the. Jackson bar be- ing engaged. Those representing the state were Judge Brame and w. Calvin Wells, Jr. Those who spoke in be- half of Major Vardaman were w. II. Watkins, C. M. Williamson, V. J. stick CT and Clayton Potter.
 The attorneys for Vardaman declared today that they were perfectly willing for the bank books about which so much has been said should be shown when the proper time comes for a hearing at the regular term of court but they objected to any such haste as the state is endeavoring to make by taking dispositions in advance of the court.
 Judge Brame denied the proposition that the king can do no wrong" and declared that he had not instituted the suit to harraSs or mortify Gov ernor Vardaman politically or other wise-all he wanted was the account ing demanded and which could be had only by an examination of the bank books.
 The case will be appealed promptly to the supreme court.

this is very untrue and that in that great august body 99 per cent of them are good men. I am the only man in the Senate who wears a Confederate flag in my coat lapel and shortly after I reached the capitol I met a G. A. R. man who asked me what kind of but ton that was I was wearing. l asked him if he had fought in many battles in the war and he said he had, and then I told him he must not have staid there long if he didn't get acquaint ed with the Confederate flag"
 Senator Johnston paid a high trib- ute to oscar w. Underwood. My friends, he is pure, clean, upright, hon able, courteous and capable and if nominated and elected we would not have to put him in cold storage to keep him from talking too much. He is in every way fit and worthy of the office of President and in my opin- ion the south is more fearful of his chances in the convention than the north, east or west. I see no reason why a southern man should not be sue cessful.
 He is getting stronger every day,
