Wanted Wilson

Norman Gum of Jasper: "The impress sion that l got at the Baltimore con- vention by talking to delegates from various parts of the United States was that they were all very friendly towards Oscar Underwood. It was a very com mon expression for them to tell me that, personally, they preferred MT. Under wood to any one else. but that Woodrow Wilson would carry more votes than any other candidate. It is my opinion that the democrats of the United States want ed Woodrow Wilson nominated for Pres- dent, and believe that he will be elected I base this upon what the delegates and visitors from various parts of the coun- try told me. l think 1t is a very strong ticket, and a strong platform. Of course would have preferred Oscar Underwood but as we couldn't get him I am well pleased with the results.
 "The impression that MT. Bryan made on me was that while he dominated the convention to such a degree as to gel his ideas>into the platform and nomi- nate his man, yet think he weakened himself individually in the estimation oi the people. But there is no doubt but that he is a great power in American politics today. I am very proud of the manly fight that MT. Underwoods friends made; and they made it by keeping clear of any trade or alliance with the other candidates, and he is today stronger man in America than he was before the convention was held"

CRUBb CONSIDERING
 EXPRESS RATE CASE
Arguments Concluded Yes terday-Fighting Reduc-
 ton of Rates

The arguments in the Southern Ex- press rate case were closed before Judge W. l. Grubb of the federal court yes terday and taken under advisement by him. The completion of the case comes after three days of arguments and the introduction of several affidavits by the Southern Express company.
 The company seeks to enJoin the en- forcement of the reduced rates by the state, having sued before Judbe Jones in Montgomery following the decision of the Montgomery jurist in the celebrated rate cases involving the Louisville and Nashville and other railroad lines. The express company affirms that the rates do not permit the earning of proper rev. enues and that the state should not be permitted to enforce them.
 Judge Alston of Atlanta, counsel for the Southern Express company, rep resented the company before Judge Grubb. while II. c. Selheimer and w. L. Martin, assistant attorney general. rep resented the state. The case was before Judge Grubb all day yesterday. even though it was July 1. In the afternoon if was completed. The court announced that it had been taken under advise ment and that an opinion would not be given for several days perhaps.
 great deal of interest is being evil denced in the case and the opinion which will be rendered by Judge Grubb will be awaited with eagerness.

South's Best Asset

D. II. Riddle of qoodwater: "The lhing that struck me most favorablely In the convention was the bold, fear less and courageous way in which MT. Bryan undertook to, and actually did, lngraft his ideas Into the convention, its platform, and It's nominees. was also impressed with the fact that Mir. Underwood is considered by the dele gates from all sections of the country as being decidedly the strongest man, personally, before the convention; and at two or three different times during the convention there is no doubt that he would have been nominated if the southern states, generally had shown a strong inclination to support him and had gone to him nt the right time.
 VI heard the sentiment expressed everywhere that in all probability Mir Underwood would be the nominee four years hence. I am unable to give the reason, nevertheless 1t Is fact, that the great mass of people in every walk of life demanded the nomination of Will son. l will be surprised if Mir. Wilson Is not elected by an overwhelming ma tority. The convention concluded In the most friendly spirit existing among all factions, and Mir. Bryan's valedictory In the form of declining to run for vice president was classic. It impressed him favorably on his enemies as well as his friends It was the greatest ora tion I have ever heard under the cir cumstances and further confirms my opinion that he Is personally the strong est orator living today.
 Tt Is necessary for us to stay be- hind MT Underwood until he Is made President. He Is the south's best as- set"

ANNOUNCE PLANS FOR NEW CONVENT Be Erected by Sisters of Perpetual Alteration COST WILL BE $75,000I Four Story Building to Be Located at Tate Station in West End. | School Will Accommodate
 300 Pupils
 
COST WILL BE $75,OOO/

Detailed plans of the convent to be erected by the Sisters of the Perpetual Alteration at Tate station on the Pow derly car line, Birmingham, were given out yesterday by A. o. von Herbulis, the noted church architect of Washington. and the Rev. Father Turner. who Is in charge of the Blessed Sacrament parish, where the institution will be located.
 The building will be four stories high and will cost when finished about $75,- 900. It will be of brick and concrete.f with stone finish. and will have ac- ommodations for school of 800 pupils. The parochial school will be for boys and girls. while the academy attached to the convent will be for girls only in the higher grades. The building will have seven class rooms, hospital and accommodations for about s2 boarders. MT. von Herbulls announced yesterday that tho building would have every late device for pure air and light and would have every modern arrangement for heating and illumination. The hos ptal will be especially modern. The provision for ventilation will be arr ranged to supply an excessive amount of pure air per consumption by each pupil.
 The mother house of the sisters Is at New orleans The building here will be the first one erected by that order in the state of Alabama. The order has IT school buildings in various parts of the United States. When the build Ing is completed it Is announced that about 20 of the sisters will be stationed here at the beginning They will come | from New Orleans. The number will be added to as the work increases.
 The order, or sisterhood. derives its name from the custom of perpetual prayer maintained by the sisters. At the chapel to be attached to the build ing there will be two sisters in prayer every hour of the day and night. By this method of adoratlon there Is con stnntly someone in prayer at the con- vent.
 It was given out that the bids for tho work would be asked for within short time and that work would be started as soon as possible. It will require about sight months to complete thes true ture.
 Father Turner was in conference with Mir von Herbulis at the Hotel HillQan yesterday He announced that perhaps n temporary parochial school would be opened on September l.
 The convent building will be situated on d lot of about seven acres at Tate station where a temporary church Is now used. A new church Is to be built eventually by Father Turner and h'' flock.

SAYS TAX RAISES
 BEING SETTLED
Allen States He Is Anxious to Correct Errors When
 Proven

Settlements are being reached in tho increases made by the county back tax commissioner, according to statements made yesterday by J. V. Allen. back tax commissioner. His increases involving s25,0Oo,O0o and affecting 25oo payers, have been much discussed lately.
 '1 am making many settlements" said Captain Allen. Tn fact so many came Wednesday I was closed July Ithat had hardly enough office help to walt upon them. I do not intend to get into any further controversy with the citi- zens, committee, but it does appear rather unusual that I am the only back tax com missioner that has been subjected to so much criticism for his tax increases. I am not half as bad as the citizens' com mittee says. and while am engaged in the work I shall give every taxpayer every possible chance to prove any error in Nur assessments. If they are wrong we win correct them. If they are cor- rect dare saysthe proper authorities will say as much. I am very much pleased with the situation so far"
 In the meantime the committee from the real estate exchange and the com mittee from tho Chamber of Commerce. say they intend to keep working and appeal as many cases as possible. Tho state assessments have called for the ap- peal of about 100 cases. it Is said, out of IF filed. It is said that the county in creases will call for host of appeals. The former goes before jury of F men in the circuit court. The latter will Do before the board of revenue. beginning next Monday. when docket of about 6 cases will be taken up each day. Each case will be handled separately.

A. W. B. Johnson. q am like the ob- stinate juror, and notwithstanding the action of the convention I still believe our man was the man for the place. I believe larger proportion of our popu- latien Is made up of people of censerva- tive Ideas, majority of which are by no means in sympathy with the steam roller methods of the Chicago convention which nominated Taft, and yet are afraid of what they feel arc the too-progressivs ideas Of Wilson and Roosevelt

Stronger Than Ever

". B, BanlShead of Jasper: 'In leaving the Baltimore convention after having heard statements made not only by the advocates of MT. Underwood's nomina- tion but by those who were opposed to him in the convention. 1t appears to me to be the sentiment that he stands to- day before the country stronger than ever before It was deeply gratifying to all Alabamians attending the convention to hear the cordial incomiums paid tn Mr. Underwood from representatives from all sections of the country.
 "He has certainly achieved for the south the distinction of being a candi- date who has demonstrated that 1t is now no longer impossible to secure serious consideration of a southern can- didate for the presidency. While we lost fhc nomination, we succeeded in elevat- ing MT. Underwood to higher position

Underwood Next Time

M. B. Wellborn, AnRston "The con- vention was a very strong body of men. They were men who were firm in what they said.
 '.It was impossible to nominate anybody at any time because Wilson was the sec- ond choice of so many delegates, and when they left anybody they always went to Wilson. l believe the nominations of Wilson will break up the Roosevelt party. and that we will carry those states in the middle west that have heretofore gone re- publican.
 T believe in four years Underwood will get the nominations"
 Borden Burr: 'It would have been very interesting if the bridle had been taken off the instructed delegates and poll taken of the individual delegates. Wilson would have probably been first, but Un- derwood would have run him close see- ond. Practically all the delegates with whom I talked, and talked with a great many, preferred Underwood as second choice The sentiment for Wilson, how ever, was too strong Ssd his nomination was inevitable.
 "I'he withdrawal of MT. Underwood by Senator Bankhead came at the psycholog- ical time. and in manner was a master piece By this the impression that he has made upon the party has been strong. and the country will hear more of him four years from now. The newspapers from home indicate that there was some dcfection in our delegation. If there was any effecting Mir. Underwood's candidacy it was not made manifest Everyone worked for him with loyalty and en- thusiasm."

No Regrets

E. K Campbell: Tt appeared in the early stages of the convention to be a convention fight with no pronounced favor As the balloting proceeded. and especially when MT. Clark's strength had been demonstrated 1t appeared the Wilson sentiment was growing, and Wilson was nominated because he was the choice of the convention. There should no regrets that we stood Loyalty by Underwood, and that ne was kept in the race until 1t became apparent to Senator Bankhead that by keeping him longer before the convention there might result q tie-up that would have been disastrous. In other words Sen ator Bankhead's management was wise and consistent; and while he insisted that the Underwood strength should have had Ytry-out," he held his position until keeping it longer might have pre- vented a nomination. He put at rest by this one stroke the charge that Un- derwood was a stalking horse' and made it possible to accomplish the re- suit which was accomplished.
 Underwood comes out of the conven- tion stronger than he went into 1t, and the fight of his friends was clean and c1ear-cut"
