WASHINGTON, July 22rvThe Alabama
delegation in congress has taken seri-
GUS notice of recent press Expressions in
their state Mandatory OF the distinguished
party services Of Representative Under
wood. carrying with them in several in
stances the question:, why not ohcar
Underwood for the head of the Demo-
cratic presidential tlckkt e.: "a
Within the past few Days 1t transpires
that every member Of xher Allegation, with
one exception. and including both sena-
tors, has declared himself IN favor OF
giving the Alabama delegation to Mr..
Underwood IN the next national Demo-
cratic convention Tira exception Is Rep
resentative Richardson. who has been
absent from the city. NO doubt Is felt
about Judge Richardson's position, as he
is we'll known to be close friend and
admirer of Mr.. Underwood.
Members OF the Alabama delegation
pertinent to the suggestion in the way OF
southern apprehension that Underwood
is geographically too far south to be avail
able, say that he is a Kentuckian BY
birth, the descendant ola staunch and
distinguished Wing, James r. Under
wood, who was the colleague of Henry
Clay for many years, and whose blood
kindred was represented on both sides In
the great controversy between the
states.

that Alabama, when the roll is called

UNCLE SANS NAVY NEEDS
MORE SUBMARINE ships
Under Water Craft Poved
Their Efficiency in Recent
Near War Game
tHy Associated rress.l

WASHINGTON. July 21.-One certain
result of the naval war game in prog
ress off the eastern entrance of Long
Island sound WIN be recommendations
to congress for a considerable increase
of the number of submarine boats.
Even the commander of the attacking
feet. Admiral Osterhaus. had to admit
in his official report to the navy de-
partment that the submarines attached
to the defensive fleet had succeeded in
approaching his big battleships without
detection until they suddenly rose at the
short distance of 500 yards from the
anchorage.
Equipped with torpedoes that easily
travel five times that distance at great
speed, it would have been an easy mat
ter for the submarine commanders to
have sent some of the big ships clear out
of. the water if the war had been an
actuality. sN4N.t
The obvious lesson is. that in war time
a hostile fleet will never dare anchor off
the coast If there is reason to suspect
the presence within Is miles Of any OF
the underwater craft, or If they do so,
they must have recourse to a strong
chain Of torpedo nets hung far out from
the hull's bottom

o the two candidates for governor in
augurated the riot by leading an attack
upon mercantile establishments Of Diaz
Brothers. relatives of Gen. Felix Diaz,
the opposition candidate for governor.
Armed resistance of the present oc-
cupants of the store increased the fury
of the mob which ran amuck through
the principal streets OF the little town,
breaking windows of private residences
and Of other business houses.
In a short time the partisans of Diaz
rallied and their leaders led them in a
counter mob. Few of. other factions
were armed with anything better than
revolvers, clubs, stones and knives be-
ing weapons most frequently welded.
Merchants. owners of stores attacked,
posted themselves in many cases on rop
of their buildings and shot into the at

ascribed to them.

TEACHERS URGED TO WORK
TO FIGHT MATER|AusM
Mrs. Emmons Blaine of Chlca-
90 Delivers Strong Adj
dress to the Educators

SAN FRANCISCO, July 13.-Mrs. EN-
mons Blaine. of Chicago. in an address
before the National Educational assoc
citation last night called upon the teach
ers to turn to higher ideals to combat
the influence of q growing materialistic
age and to teach a higher citizenship.
Mrs. Blaine struck boldly at present
educational evils. including the bread
and butter attitude" with which she de-
clared, too many teachers viewed their
profession and urged the community TO
give to the great army of teachers COM
pensation commensurate with the value
Of their services In training the future
citizenship Of the country.
Not only did Mrs. Blaine plead for
the inception of higher ideals In educa-
ton but to their decline she attributed
much of the growing abuse of present
power and the failing off from the ac-
cepted ideals Of political liberty and
equality.
'~rhere are two sides to the money
question in teaching said Mrs. Blaine
"You cannot serve God and nlammon.
II the uplifting OF the child Is the aim
of the teacher, the money cannot be.
Therefore money must not be-cannot. pe
the aim Of teaching" So
Speaking of the accumulation Of wealth
in this country the speaker said:
1--WE are appalled, by the utter Thought
lessness and carelessness for others by
so many Of our money makers in their
mad rush for wealth. This means deep
lack of any true sense OF the meaning
OF citizenship. 1t bodies Ill for the mar
