POLITICS LIVE AT
 THE UNIVERSITY
Underwood Club Growing-Students Form Club to Help Dr. Aber-
 crombie in His Race

University, January 14-tSpeciaD.-The coming elections are creating quite pit of political interest and activities among the students of the university. some tune aso an Underwood club was formed by the students in the law department, with the purpose of aiding as far as possipie the Aselection of Congressman Underwood as. the democratic nominee. Since It's formation the club has increased in mem bership a great deal and has been ac- lively engaged in i@ work
 Last night another club was formed. A large number of students, mostly rom the academic department, met in the Y. M. c. A. room and formed an Aber- crombie club. The purpose of thiS or ganization is to further the election Of pr. John w. Abercrombie to the place of congressman at large from the state of Alabama. Several speeches were made by different ones and much enthusiasm was shown. Although there was a good number at the meeting those present were not half representative of the num- Der of students who are behind Dr. Abercrombie. Some of the students did not know of the meeting and others who board out in town were unable to attend on account of the weather. Dr. Aber- crombie is the only university man in the race, and this Is one reason, but not the main one, why the students are behind him as they are
 The following officers for the club were elected: Fred Fyte of Hamilton, presi- dent; Ciem c. Countess, vice president; Charles Baker, secretary, and O. D. Dodson, treasurer. The club will begin it's work at once.

GORDON CHORON
 IS FATALLY SHOT
Shots Fired By Will Vince less Who Has Not Yet
 Been Captured

Gordon Choron, aged 9 years, was shot and perhaps fatally wounded yesterday morning about 2:30 o'clock by Will Vince less, aged 24 years. Both are white men.
 It is alleged that wheeless came in the Choron residence, 2090 Avenue E, and raised a disturbance in the presence of Choron's mother. Young Choron then, 1t is said. called Wireless to task about it, when Wireless drew a .SS calibre pistol
 Mrs. Choron, it is said, tried to catch hold of the pistol and Wheeless jerked it back and pointed it point blank at Choron and shot twice, both balls taking effect in the abdomen. He then dropped the pistol and ran. Choron got the pistol from the floor and snapped it couple of times. but 1t did not shoot because it contained no more cartridges.
 Shaws ambulance was called and Choron was taken to the Hillman hos pital, where he is expected to die. Chor- on is a student at the Birmingham Bar Der college.
 Laurence Miazza, who boards at the boarding house of Mrs. J. C. Johnson, 2101l North Twenty-second street, last night at police headquarters ,rehearsed some of the incidents of his acquaintance with Wheeless.
 Wheeless, up until a late hour last night, had not been captured. Detectives Jones and Gates are working on the case.

PEACEFUL ASPECT IN
 THE LABOR WORLD

London, January 14-All indications to- night point to peace In the labor world. Both sides in the cotton dispute in the Lancashire districts anxious for a settlement It is understood that the em- ployers will consent to consider the ques- tion of an advance in wages in conjunc- ton with the withdrawal of the opera tives' demand for recognition of only union labor. II an agreement is reached it is probable that the wages of the weavers will advance five per cent al the expiration of three months
 Further investigation of the difficulties. which has arisen in the coal mining re- gions and which has resulted in the talk ing of a ballot among the men to de- termine the question of strike shows that more than 80 per cent of the men are already receiving the equivalent of the suggested minimum wage. It Is prob able, therefore, that the introduction of minimum wage would really affect litti- more than ten per cent of the actual workers. Thus, it Is believed that a set tIement can be reached without great diff ficulty.

men of the church to sense of their duty as Catholic men, and for that pur- pose we have established the society of the Holy Name, the grandest of all so- cieties in the American church today, for this society stands for Catholicism pure and rndefiled. If is the crack reg iment of Christ's army. It is led by the Leader Himself, and it's watchword IS tho Name at the utterance of which every head should bow. Well and truly said Plus X, the great need of the day is Catholic laymen. and 10, the church in America is rallying to meet that need. We have thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands enrolled beneath the holy banner thousands and hun dreds of thousands who are not ashamed of their glorious faith, but who, modern crusaders against blasphemy and mater ialism and the spirit of worldliness and neo-paganism, are as loyal and leal as tho. crusaders of that earlier day who followed King Godfrey and Richard Lion Heart to Moslem battlefields, when knighthood was in flower.
 'In- the coming contest neo-paganism against the supernatural, the church of Christ, the Catholic church alone, eau prevail. and the Catholic church looks hopefully to this country where the faith is so vigorous and strong, and the church in the country relies on the latest ana best of its socities, the society of the Holy Name. Today we are celebrating the feast of the Holy Name, and in thou sands of churches in this country of ours, hundreds of thousands of Catholic lavmen. the hope of Plus x, have lSnelt before the altar, have received their God into their hearts in holy communion, have uttered with fervor and love that Holy Name of which the poet says: .e.rre, voice can sing, no heart can frame
 Nor can the memory find,
 A sweeter sound than Thy blest name
 O. Savior of mankind.
 ..There are still. alas, despite all our nleading, men, Catholic men in the par ish of St. Paurs, who are not within the ranks of the Holy Name. The en- vironment has affected many with vor,djness and indifference. They hear, hut heed not our pleading; nay, not o,,rs. but the pleading of Christ through us Dear Lord they do not mean to be against you in the coming conflict. h. srire them, then, so that even at the eleventh hour they may join Your holy army. that reveres Your Holy Name"

ABOUT J. WIFE HUNTER

ing aggrayating snatches of what the other was saying. it soon became evil dent that one would have to give way. The fair maiden. who described herself as weighing 1s5 pounds and Junoesque in stature, emphatically but firmly declared her intention of becoming Mrs. J. Davis and the smaller weight retorted that she would give her the freedom of the wires while she called at a certain newspaper office to obtain some correct information concerning this man
 Sure enough the dark haired would be- welded phoned to a newspaper man. who told her that if she would make an en- gagement with J. Davis that would cul- minate in a marriage ceremony, he would divide the slo0 bonus that this mascu- line person had offered to the first press agent who secured him bona fde life mate. This decided the seeker after knowledge, for it was too sudden, even for Leap Year, and such a. sordid call eulation was utterly lacking in the TO- nance of true love that she hoped had inspired J. Davis to wish to take bride to his oregon fireside. So she immediate ly called up the hotel again and, finding J. Davis stil in the tolls of the blonde. politely and gently told them both that she would not ask for the hand of the oregenian at any price.
 The winner in this round hastily made an engagement to meet J. Davis in per- son the next day, that he might improve the acquaintance so victoriously begun. But alas, alack, J. Davis, like unto the Arab. silently folded his tent and stole away during the nightly interim.
 Why did he leave?
 And certain man about town. John Smith, who heard those famous telephon- ies. refuses to give answer exvept with the history of the wire crossing.

ARREST FORTY-NINE
 AT COOKING MAIN

Newark, O., January l4-Forty-nine persons, representing many Ohio towns, only one being from Newark, were arrest ed today by local police and co-deputies, who raided basement where cocking main was in progress. About 40 birds were getting down to the preliminaries when the officers made their descent and ere ated a panic among the spectators and promoters. Only one patrol wagon was available and when a dozen prisoners had been loaded into it the others were marched overland a. distance of two miles in near zero weather to the city prison. That institution being already filled with prisoners, police court was convened lm- mediately and the entire number of de- fendants confessed to fines and costs az gregating $17.50 each.

MINISTER APPROVES
 DEATH SENTENCE

Albany, N. Y, January 14.-"Whomso- ever sheddeth mans blood by man shall his blood be shed.' This was the answer of the Right Rev. William Croswell, Bishop of the Episcopal diocese of AL bany. when asked whether he believed in the abolition of capital punishment, the question having been suggested by the attitude of Governor Dix and Col Jo- seph F. Scott, state superintendent of prisoners, who have announced their be- lief that the death penalty should be abandoned in this state.
 Capital punishment is right" said the bishop, "the objection to it is purely sen timental. Those who have been declar- ing themseTves in favor of the removal of the death penalty overlook the one great significant instruction-God's own word, which I have quoted.'

PAY TRIBUTE TO NEW
 YORK FIRE LADDIES

New York, January H.-(SpeciaD The leading banking houses and institutions in the financial district are in a movement to pay high tribute to the general effi- ciency of the fire and police departments.

An incident connected with the visit of the Man from Oregon. ]. Davis. who published so widely that he desired a few days ago, is now being told with a great deal of gusto as an echo of his besiegement from the fair sex during his encampment here. 4 certain man about town. John Smith, is relating the story which he heard while being accidentally connected with the telephone wire that connected J. Davis with the outside world from his room in the hotel
 When J. Smith rang up the hotel to find out if a travelling friend of his had reached town, he could hear two femi- nine voices assailing the attentions of J. Davis, and he listened with bated breath for the calling of time. The telephone wires played tricks with the two maidens which is presumably so, as neither would tell her age over such a treaeherous agen- ey as the telephone-for one would no sooner tell the wife hunter that her hair was of golden brown tint and inclined In with the statement that she was the champion cook in seven states. with speciality in the chicken line. and that she weighed 125 pounds had black hair and wore q No. shoe.e J. Davis would start to tell the girl with the auburn hair of the disadvantages of residing 3 miles from a postoffiee and she would just get matters going smoothly again by saying that she would really prefer that as she received far too many letters to answer now, when the dark rival would be put on the line to fire list of questions into J. Davis as to how he hauled his pro duce to market, if he was 106 miles from a railroad. After an assorted conversa- tion that afforded each of the matri- monial aspirants an opportunity of hear
