DEATH MAY DELAY
 TEACHERS WAGES
Mrs. Oden Before Demise Made Out Pay Roll for
 Morgan Teachers

Montgomery, December 20.-(Special0- News has been received by the state de- pai tment of education of the death of Mrs P. A. Oden of Morgan county, the wife of the late superintendent of edu- cation of that county, who died on last Saturday. Mrs. Oden's death was the re- sulr of an attack of pneumonia, of which disease her husband died. Both were i'll at the same time, but it was thought that Mrs. Oden would recover. How eNer she suffered a relapse few days ago and died Thursday night.
 The unfortunate death of Mrs Oden will probably prevent the teachers of Morgan county from receiving their salary before the Christmas holidays. Mrs. Oden was her. husbands assistant in the office of superintendent of education of that county, and she was familiar wit. the details of making out the regular monthly pay roll.
 With the death of Mrs. Oden it is un- derstood that there is no one in A1or- gan county able to make out the pay roil which will probably necessitate some delay before the teachers of that county receive their salary.
 Mrs. Odens brother is an applicant for the office of county superintendent of education. The vacancy will be filled early next week by appointment, the un- expired term to end on September 30 next.

SEALS BECOMING
 TOO NUMEROUS Necessary to Amend the Seal Act to Thin
 Out Herd

Washington, December 20,-Unless the agreement reported with Japan and Great Britain for the protection of the seal herds in the north Pacific is to fail of realization and the seal treaty perhaps itself be lost, it will be nee essary for Congress during the present session to amend the seal act so as to remove the five year restriction upon the killing of male seals on the Pribilof Islands
 This is the view of the administra- tion based upon several urgent com munications to the United States. the latest received today from the Japanese government This communication pointed out that the existing Legislation amounts to a practical repudiation of that part of the treaty which guaran- teed to the Japanese and the British governments a fair return from the seals that might safely be killed upon the American seal islands in. lieu of those taken by Pelagie sealers.
 The seal herd has almost doubled in number under one years suspension of killing and it is the opinion of the state department experts that some thinning out is absolutely necessary to prevent its deterioration. Therefore it is expected that the President will make an effort to induce Congress to amend the existing seal act so. as to insure fair treatment for the Japanese and British governments.

STODDARD MADE DEFENDANT IN SUIT
State Seeks Money for Arms Not Returned When Com
 pany Was Mustered Out

Montgomery December 20-(Spe- cial that Capt William H. Stoddard of Company l. Luverne, and. the United States Fidelity and Guaranty company failed to carry out the conditions of a bond by not re- turning military equipment to the state, the state of Alabama through Attorney General Robert c. Brickell entered suit in the civil division of the city court Friday morning against Stoddard and the bond company. One thousand dol l lars is claimed
 Stoddard was captain and chief com manding officer of the company when it was located at Luverne and the bill of complaint alleges that he has failed to return certain arms, ammunition and equipment to the state. The suit claims damages for breach of the con- dition of bond made by the defend ants on the 17th day of July, 1907, payable to the plaintiff with the con dition that William H. Stoddard as captain and commanding officer of company l. Second regiment, Alabama state troops, should safely keep and whenever ordered by competent au- thority return all arms, ammunition and other military equipments issued to him as such commanding officer and plaintiff says the condition of said bond has been broken by the defendants in that the said William II. Stoddard has failed to return such arms ammuni- tion and other military equipments so issued 10 him as such commanding of fcer, although ordered by competent authority so to do."
 It is understood this is the first of q series of suits that will be entered to collect money for arms, ammunition and equipment not returned to the state when several companies were mustered from the service early in the year.
 The case will probably be tried dur ing the January term of the civil divi- sion. The bill of complaint will be sent to the sheriff of Crenshaw county for service on Stoddard who lives at Luverne.

From the meaEer returns that are at

republicans carried Hammond No bull

figures do not include the thirteenth
precinct.
The republicans who carried Ham

the candidates in Hammond.
John r. Patterson carried Hammond
by only 259 votes. which is remarkable

against Crumpacker and the fact that
Crumpacker ala not speak in the city
The popularity of Barney Carter in
Hammond is shown by tire fine ma
iorlty the city gave him. He got a
majority In Hammond of 7a9 votes,
which puts him up close to simon.
Carter got the union labor vote, and
he also got the vote of the business
man and property owner who like
the kind of union man Carter is. No
one fears what Carter would do as the
representative of this county in the
legislature.
Alva Young was given fine compli-
nentary majority in Hammond. He
secured 667 votes more than his Gary
opponent This viii help him in the
rest or the county.
In the race against August Johnson
Of East Chicago, Jacob Friedman beat
his opponent by 25 majority in all but
the one precinct that has not been
heard from. This indicates that Fried

ticket splitter As the rest.
