Modern Eve" 1t is quite evident that
"a Modern Eve" possesses a phenom-
email hold upon playgOers, and that il
will still be some time before Chica,
go is willing to permit the Mort II.

In these days it is considered a
proud distinction to be known as 300
hitter in one of the big leagues. Hence
Davy Jones of the Detroit Tigers may
well be called a distinguished man, for
he now has a batting average of .3Os.
This is some better than Jones did last
year. His record for the season of
1911 was .273.

THINK THE INJURED
 WILL ALL RECOVER
Fulenwider Says AutOmO- bile Was Taken Without
 His Knowledge

The condition of the two young women who were injured in the grade crossing collision of an automobile and an Ala bama Great Southern train Sunday night was favorable last night.
 At St. Vincents hospital. where Miss Ruth Bur1s was taken, 1t was stated that she was resting nicely and that every hope Is being entertained for her complete recovery.
 Miss Beatrice Graham, who was taken 10 the South Highlands infirmary, was reported last night to be recovering rap- idly and 1t was stated that she was not seriously injured. The report which gained credence that one rib was broken is said to be but a rumor and that beyond a few bad bruises she is all right.
 It developed yesterday that F. A. Varin. one Of the young men in the car. was the chauffeur of A. l.. Fulenwider, whose car they were in. The young men were not hurt enough to be taken to an in- irmary. but were allowed to go to their own homes.
 It is regarded as nothing short of a miracle that the entire party was not killed outright.
 Mir Fuenwider stated last night that his chauffeur, Varn, took the car from the garage without his knowledge or consent.

ALLEGED SWINDLER
 HEADED THIS WAY

F.. E. Evans commercial agent or the Clyde steamship lines. has notified the local police department to be on-the look out for A clever swindler. who has been wording in Augusta and Atlanta for some time past Mr Evans stated last night that the plan of the swindler was 10 so- licit subscriptions for publication put out by the Clyde lines and published In New York city. The man gets subscrip- tions for the paper, known as the A. c. w. I. News, on the basis of sl a year and gives a premium Of a rountain pen. which MT. Evans states is absolutely worthless.
 NIT. Evans thinks that the swindler might be headed toward Birmingham. He said that the man was about p years of age, would weigh about l25 pounds. dresses well and Is rather good looking. The man is in no way connected with the Clyde lines and the officials of that company are very anxious that the swim dler be apprehended before he succeeds in placing any more subscriptions for the paper

Aldrich Scores the Colonel

Truman II Aldrich, chairman of the republican executive committee of Jef- ferson county, and postmaster of Bir mingham: "I have been expecting Theo- dore Roosevelt to come out as a candl- date for the presidency of the United States for some time past, so 1t came as no surprise 10 me. He is a man of in ordinate ambition, conceit and tremen- dous force, but not sincere man. consider him good politician, but q poor statesman. He Is neither safe nor sane and has outradicaled the radicals in his latest action.
 There is no danger of his getting the nomination from the republican party and he will be repudiated by a great major ity of votes being cast at the national convention for President Taft, who will be chosen on the first ballot. The re- publican party is too big to be split by the ambitions of two men and I firmly believe if by any chance Colonel Roose- welt should get enough votes to endanger the party success II is quite possible that the delegates might drop either candidate now before the public eye and choose another man.
 In his recent Columbus speech MT. Roosevelt shows that he has evidently forgotten that the initiative. referendum and recall were invented by the Swiss government tor certain reasons. 1t was
 
 safety because there existed no court of final resort. He now proposes to. ignore the decisions of all courts and give the people the right to recall or reverse the decisions of these courts as well as the judges themselves.
 There are many who will remember his famous statement made relative 10 his third term on November g. 1904, and this one thing will be mighty factor in his defeat at tho convention The soIith h. ern people are naturally conservative, and while they admire the dash and orig nality of MT. Roosevelt, they draw 'he line at his outrageously radical opinions. l have the exact quotation made by him just after his election to the presidency in 1904 and it is: 'On the fourth of March next I shall have served three and one-half years as President of the United States and these years constitute my first term. The custom which limits the President to two terms regards The substance of this rather than the form and under no circumstances will l he a candidate for or accept another nomina- tiOn

OMEN HERE
 FOR AN INSPECTION
Confer With Nelson Regard ing Bryan Company
 Improvements

For the purpose of inspecting the prop critics of the Bryan Coal corporation and passing upon some contemplated exten- sive movements, some prominent Rlch- mond capitalists arrived in Birmingham yesterday. and while here will confer with Frank Nelson, Jr president of the Bry- an Coal corporation
 The directors who arrived here are Thomas B. Scott, Fred Scott, George Cole Scott of Richmond, and w. C. Adams Of Baltimore They held conference yes terday with Mr. Nelson, after which II was announced that an inspection of the properties would be made today by the party of developers. It was later an nounced that after the inspection trip to- day some definite statement would per haps be issued by President Nelson as to the extensive developments that are con templated in connection with those lands. If is stated in industrial circles upon un- confirmed authority that the Bryan com pany intends to spend about $500.cO0 i'll bettering the holdings recently purchased from the estate of the late Jonathon Bryan.
 The party of visitors will leave Bir- mingham this morning on special tram operated by the Southern Railway com pany and will return to the city late this afternoon The Bryan company's actlVi- ties here during the past few weeks has keenly excited the industrial world up to believing that some very heavy expendi- lures are to be made by that company in improving the enormously valuable coal lands recently acquired.
 Mr. Adams, who is a member of the party, is one of the best known mining experts in West Virginia, it is stated. and he will pass judgment upon some open ings that will perhaps be made upon the Bryan lands. He was induced to come here on account of his close relations with the Scott brothers for whom lie man ages some mines elsewhere.

Conservative Will Win

Robert Jemson: "Roosevelts signifi- cant speech at Columbus, followed by his open acknowledgement of his de- sire to be President of the United States again is not surprising as it is in keeping with his radicalism. He may or may not secure the nomination, I cannot say. but I do believe that Taft, would be more formidable 10 the democratic success than Roosevelt inasmuch as the former repre- sents the conservative portion of the party.
 ''The Roosevelt declaration has caused party split that will be very advan- tageous for the democrats and if Oscar M. Underwood is nominated at Balti- more, there is no doubt in my estimation but that he could defeat Roosevelt es~iy and with more exertion. win out over Taft. Underwood is the representative of the conservatives in American politics. Besides who would vote for Roosev~ft when there is a chance to cast a ballot for Underwood?"

]. 0. Thompson Confident

]. O. Thompson, collector of internal revenue for eight years under Roosevelt and Taft said: "The announcement of Colonel Roosevelt did not come as any surprise to me because l believed all along that he would answer the long ing desire of the masses of the people of America.
 His announcement means that he will be nominated without any trouble and will be elected the next President of the United States. It is worthy of attention that only II delegates have been elected for the Chicago conven- tion and upward of 000 will partici- pate. Of the delegates already selected it Is noticeable that Mir, Roosevelt re- ceived an instructed delegation and his candidacy was then unknown. In Ala bama it is noteworthy that none of the Roosevelt followers have participated in the Taft meetings and believe when the Roosevelt mass meeting Is helu March 16 at least 500 republicans will attend"

Their action is pleasant and mild. and their chocolate taste makes them easy to take. I am more than glad to recommend them"
 Clean up the bowels and keep them clean," is the advice of all physicians, because they realize the danger resulting from habitual con- stipation. Do not delay too long, but begin proper curative measures.

Taft Will Be Named

James Weatherly, secretary of the Underwood campaign committee in Ala bama national committeeman and city commissioner: Until Roosevelt said that his hat was fin the ring, l did not think that he would attempt to attain the presidency for third term. 1 thought him too big man 10 attempt to accomplish what Washington de- clined to attempt. However, l am cer- tain that the republicans will rebuke him by nominating Taft. Should by any means he achieve the nomination, almost any democrat could defeat him at the polls"

Is of Much Significance

!. H. Perkins of Ensley: "Roosevelts announcement in view of his wonderful knowledge of political affairs in this country is within itself of much sig nificanee and shows that he knows to considerable degree what he Is about His wonderful personality and magne- tism will be far reaching. The repub- lican waters are muddled by his entry and the party strength will be upset if Roosevelt is nominated, but if Taft gets the nomination the republicans will center upon him and it will then in my opinion take our Oscar to de- feat him."
