Harding would decline to surrender the presidency of the First National bank for the purpose of entering the political game. those who are close to him aver that should the demand for his announce ment come strongly from all sections of the state, he would yield from a sense of duty.
 MT. Harding does not discuss the boom save to state that he is fiattered. On ac- count of his recognized business ability and his expertness in the matter of taxa tion-which Is destined to be one tissue" in the ensuing campaign--it is believed that should MT Harding ask for the gu- bernatorial nomination, he would prove to be a most formidable candidate. In this connection It Is interesting to note that whereas MT. Conner, should he run for governor, will be able to say that because of his interest in the people he yielded his ambition to enter the Sem ate of the United States, that MT. Hard ing, in case of his candidacy, would be supported by the self evident fact that he had entered through none other than pa triotic motives.
 The fact that friends of MT. Harding are strenuously urging him to run has in cited the interest of all the people throughout the state. They are talking. The newspapers are talking. And there is general speculation as to what would be the result should the president of the First National bank surrender one of the most lucrative positions in the south for the purpose of making an effort to restore the treasury and the credit of his state. From what has been said and published the indications are that the possibility of the entrance of MT. Harding has encoun- tered general satisfaction.
 There is desire for a business adminis- tratlon, for governor who will control though not persecute the railroads, for peace and harmony and plenty and pros perity It is claimed that MT. Harding is the man to bring about that era so ar dently desired

The renewal of the efforts of those who are anxious that business be not disturbed through the election of a governor obsessed with an issue resulted dur ing the week just closed in a resurrection of the W. P. c. Harding boom.

While it is generally believed by many people throughout the state that MT.

Mere Coincidence Causes Arrest of Frank Hayes He Tries to Forge Check in First National Bank While His Victim Wm E. Haskns, Unknowingly is
 Standing Right Beside Him

man admitted to the charges and told of the method which he used in his work Friday night he was locked up in the Brown Mark building, and dur ing the night he entered 19 offices there with skeleton keys or by climb | ing over the transoms He had in his possession when arrested a bunch of 20 skeleton desk keys, which he used to enter the desks in the private of | fees, and there were several finely nodded steel files for the altering of keys and locks, and as complete a set of seeond-story mans tools as the de- tectives had ever seen.
 Hayes would pick out private of flee sumptuously furnished which would indicate that its owner was rich. enter the desk with his keys. and then go through cancelled checks which he found there. He would compare these with the balances in the bank book, and thereby would find out whether his unsuspecting victim was dead one or had enough money in the bank to make 1t worth while. If this was so, he would make a copy of the signature on a blank check and take it with him.
 He admitted that rom one to an l other of 19 offices in this building he went using these same, shrewd methods, and when he left the build Ing early yesterday morning he had dozens of blank checks in his pocket signed with forged signatures of some of Birminghams most wealthy men,"
 Nesbitt a Victim
 C. D. Nesbitt of the Birmingham Coal | and aIron company, whose office was entered, went to the police station yes terday afternoon and found several of his checks in the prisoners valise. He said that lie could have hardly told I the writing from his own. In every case the wonderful ability of the crim inal to forge another's name brought forth expressions of surprise and won lderment
 l Chief Bodeker concluded: 'I want to compliment my men for their good catch. I am of the opinion that when other cities hear of his capture we will find that he is wanted elsewhere
 MT Nesbitt stated: When the police arrested Hayes he tried to slip note to some one at his hotel giving instruc- tions to remove his valise. It was In this valise that checks with my sigma ture attached were found and many other blank checks with signatures leaving only the amount of money to be inserted before the forgery was complete. Hayes talked very freely of his methods.
 l He said that he looked over the books in every office he entered in order to ascertain the victims bank balance and know how large check I to write He is the cleverest propo- sition I have ever met up with.'

of october, and in other ways making an active. aggressive campaign. It is gen. orally recognized that should the effort of this fall fail of it's purpose, the fee ,sys- tenn. as presently entnroned in Jefferson. would be perpetuated for possibly an in definite period.
 There is no question but that the fight will be more difficult than the present outlook tends to indicate.
 Victory depends it is believed, on the observance of the agreement entered into l.y Senator Hugh Morrow and the sher- ifs association of the state As IS re- membered, when the senate in the last session of the legislature agreed to per init the continuance of the turnkey ice, the sheriffs of the state agreed in turn to aid Jefferson In it's fight to destroy the fee system. If the sheriffs get actively into the fight against the system, victory is certain.
 But unless the idea IS dispeled that the abolition of the system in Jefferson VIII prove to be a precedent which other counties might follow, the outcome or the battle, according to well posted poll- ticians, is exceedingly doubtful.
 At the present time. very few individ- uals who do not live in Jefferson know that the fight Is brewing, and those who do know, are very uncertain as to the exact purpose of that fight.
 The leaders, as stated above, intend to 20 throughout the state with a full ex- planation, and with a statement to the eff feet that the sheriffs and other officials of less popuious counties are so poorly paid that any effort to destroy the fee system in their communities would be too absurd for a moments consideration.
 It is generally admitted that there will be no formidable or organized opposition a this county. although. even at the present time. quiet movements in con trary direction are said to be afoot.

 The candidate thereupon related to his hearers the fact that whereas the average wage earner of the United States produces s2700 per annum. he received but $500 He then made a plea for governmental ownership of the railroads, the telegraph and telephone systems, and other public utility fran chises
 In reference to the capitalists the speaker said we do not want them to support us. They are the people we are after. And we serve notice on them right now that the time will come when we will sweep them from power and thereafter refrain from feeding them at our own expense"
