Today

washington, July s-A series of confer

reaus. senators and representatives, In
Guiding possibly the heads of the two
military committees of Congress will be-
gin at the war department tomorrow with
view to getting together upon a general
measure of reorganization for the whole
military establishment. The expressed
object is to suggest legislation SO thor
oughly non-partisan as to obtain congress
sional consideration on broad lines, to
better army conditions modernize mill
tary methods and reconcile extreme
claims
Conceding that Congress is not likely to
consider at this session a complete re-
organization scheme, officials today ex-
pressed the hope that the conflicting ele-
ments in and out of Congress which
caused veto of the regular army ap-
preparation bill would consent TO post
pone renewal of the controversies, mean
time allowing the bill of last year tc
remain in force.

GUARDIANSHIP IS
STILL UNDECIDED
Sub Committee Adjourns
Until This Morning After
Discussion


Washington. July s.--Se1ection of a
chairman for the republican national
committee was tonight still In the air.
For four hours President Taft and
his secretary, Charles Hilles. and a sub
committee of the republican national
committee discussed the question of the
chairmanship. At 80 o'clock they adj
journed until $50 tomorrow morning,
no nearer to choice than they were
when they met here early today for
their first session.
More than a dozen names were con-
sidered during the long discussion held
in the White House The conference
was entirely amicable No feeling de-
veloped against any candidate. About
the only actual result of the meetin g
was the final elimination from con-
sideration of the name of Mr.. Hilles.
He told the committeeman that under
no circumstances would he take the
position but he would work with all
his ability for the Presidents re-elec-
ton.
Predictions were freely made tonight
| that the Craftsmanship might not be
settled for several days. All the men,
| bers of the committee were of the opin-
| ion after today's session that there
would be no hasty decision. President
Taft was said to be in a receptive mood
and entirely willing to take any man
who met with the approval of the sub
committee.
| The President was host tonight to
| the members of the subcommittee and
many of the leading republicans of the
country at an outdoor reception in the
White House grounds. Those who will
choose a chairman had another oppor-
| tunity to talk over the candidates with
members of the various state organi-
cations and with prominent republicans
| in the Senate and House.

the big fair which will be given here
this fall by the Central Alabam Fair
company. The printing matter for the
fair has been ordered and 1t will be

Alabama. The Selma fair will be held
prior to the fairs in both Birmingham

ance is assured for each day 1t is on.
The agricultural and live stock ex-
hibits this year will be much larger
than has ever been displayed at a fair
here before 1t Is also expected that
the staet exhibit will be secured The
Amusement features of the fair will be
made as attractive as possible The
amusement bookings will be independ-
ent and different from those which will
be seen at both the Birmingham and
Montgomery shows. Secretary Nor
gan Richards has already booked Sow
.eral free attractions which he terms
."thrillers," and which will be sure to
catch the large crowd of spectators.
Every indication points to the fact that
the fair to be given here this fall will
be attended by crowds daily and there
is no doubt but it will be a most sue
cessful event.
