HOOPER EXPLAINS
 CHANGE OF HEART
Thought Hearings in Massee Case in Georgia Were
 Unfair

Nashville, Tenn, July Ex-Governor Hooper issued statemen. tonight ex- blaming why he decided to let the requisi- ton for A. J. Massee stand after he had asked the governor of South Carolina to disregard the request for such a reauisi- tion
 The governors statement says he origin ally told attorneys who were prosecuting
 Massee that this was not proper case for him to take any action in outside of Georgia after that state had twice refuse, Tennessee. However. In the governor E
 absence from the city, his secretary is-
 sued the requisition for Massee and the governor learned of it upon his return to Nashville last week. He immediately re- volSed the requisition In accordance with his original statement to James B. Cox
 and other attorneys for Massee.
 Governor Hooper said he was told that
 the hearings in Georgia might have been biased While Governor Hooper says al- though he was not willing to accept the statements of attorneys for the prosecu- tion in full, he determined that it would be best for the courts and the executive of South Carolina to settle the matter Before Governor Hoopers telegram ask | ing for the restoration of the requisition reached South Carolina authorities. Mas l see had gone back into Georgia and con | sequently is free from further action as l long as he remains in his home state.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: Since the first report to the entomolog- cal department at Auburn of the occur renee of cotton worm moths at lights in Mobile early in June, we have been an- ticpating reports of worms In small numbers in various localities about the middle of July. Such reports have been received and verified as follows: Mobile county, June 6; Conecuh county, June 21 Autauga county July 12: Pike county, July IS: Geneva, Covington and Mont gomery counties. July 19; Butler, July 22
 These reports do not include the many unVerified statements that have come to are already scattered in small numbers throughout the southern half of Ala bema.
 The state entomologist of Mississippi has reported cotton worms in Lowndes Monroe. Oktibbea and Noxubee counties, Mississippi. Besides this, we know that the third generation of cotton worms Is already matured in south Texas and the spread northward from that point will be rapid
 This |, rmat',n given to the public at this time dat eton planters may
 2 on their guard and watch closely for the first stripping of cotton, which Is likely to take place in Alabama in dif- ferent localities at dates ranging between August and 15. W. F. HINDS. Entomologst Alabama Experiment Sta

 Reported

Kansas CitS July 2s,-With two bal looms not reported, 1t seems late tonight that the Kansas City IT, John Watts pilot, George Quissenberry, aide which landed at BeIevile, Mich. today, after g hours in the air. and covering about $40 miles, has won the elimination race, which start ed from here yesterday. to decide which three contestants will represent the Aero Club of America at the international race in Germany next fall.

 In the 1911 international race, it took pilot of the winner an entire day to reach a telegraph station from the spot where he landed. and it is thought here that such may be the case with the balloons not yet reporting. e-H

An Appreciation

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The Sunday Age-Herald Is an unusually interesting paper.
 think the ''short classics feature very obstructive to those whose early educa- tional opportunities were restricted. I my
 enjoyed reviewing. as it were. some of the romances that I enjoyed so much reading some years ago. I think the composite story of Robin Hood a very fine piece of work.
 John w DuBose's historical sketches are very entertaining and will prove val uable in the future in the work of cor rectly recording important incidents, facts and truths.
 Dr. Riley's "Men Who Made Alabama is good reading, especially for the young CT generations what slight errors he makes may be corrected as to exact facts and no doubt he will be pleased to be set right by those well informed on cer- tain personal matters as to individuals loci, etc
 Mir. Dooley was at his best and his Teutonic and Celtic characters do theii ing, philosophical humor and satirica quirps.
 Hugh Roberts Dope Fiend" story is 6 fine and true color picture for myself have seen the characters and the, den he depicts so well. Reuben Lewis Sketcn OF tiarencf Smith. the baseball 'phenomenon,' who rose so rapidly from peanuts to pitch. ing is smooth and interesting. The style is good and the phrasing is in excellent tone and taste-this all the more with modern baseball s'bushwa.' And all the special articles are very irterestin~. Frank G. Carpenter, witt whom have a pleasant personal ac- craintanre. who belongs to the fred heads" is always entertaining. PERCY CLARK. Birmingham. July 2s, 1912.

 Lawrence Mass.-"I gave him permis-
 sion to shoot me- wrote out Louis Dion, aged il. in a boyish scrawl on piece of paper today, then stood up before Henry
 Talbot, aged 12, who shot him deas through the heart. The shooting was the
 result of a boys pride in his new 22- calibre rifle and a dare frcm com paion who didn't believe it could kill anything" Dion wrote out the permission on a slip of paper, according to young Talbot Immediately there was a shot from the rifle and Dion fell dead. Winnipeg, Man.--News received tonight develops the fact that Saturday nights windstorm in southern Manitoba was the most severe and destructive that ever has visited that part of the province.

"Cambline Schools,
Q the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor or The Age-Herald.
 It gives me very great pleasure to read that the Christian Endeavorers are to be invited by, their committee on citizenship to take action against the slot machines now so numerous in Birmingham For many days large number of people have been indignant with the authorities who allow throngs of lads to assemble at these numerous schools for gambling, and watch with eager interest as older boys and men work the crank
 A certificate of license by the city adorns each machine. the apology for the city being that the device affords "a prize every time.'' so that 1t Is not prop erly gambling device at all. A little attention will show the hollow wickedness of this pretence; for not one in 10 of the players condescends to notice the chew ing gum bonus, hut goes straight on drop ping checks and running the wheel. In all essential respects the machines are like the clean-cut gambling device which

 SELLING LAND

Mexico City, July 2s-Manuel Calero, Mexican ambassador at Washington, in telegram to the Fl Imparcial today. emphatically denied that he had reached any agreement with the Secre- tary of State of the United States with regard to the Chamizal territory near Fl Paso.
