DO YOU KNOW
MRS. WETTIN?

princes of Wales in the days to
come, and royal lines are matters
of human stock breeding.
About third of a century ago,
down in Richmond, the eyes of
| this mob of solicitors fell on Mary.
Her father and mother, the duke
and duchess of Teck, were poor;
the family fortunes had almost
set. But Mary was sunshine
itself and she had health enough
for three girls.
And SO she was selected to
marry the future prince of Wales,
whose name was Albert and who
was three years older than she.
They called him collars and
Cuffs" While she was waiting
to be old enough for marriage. he
was running his life in London,
and in 1892 he died.
Then the present king, being
the next oldest son Of the king,
became the future prince OF
Wales. The busy solicitors didn't
make any search for a wife for
him.
"If Mary was good enough for
Albert, she's good enough for
George" they declared.
They were married in July,
1898. Eleven months later a son
was born. They named him Ed
ward and today he is the prince
of Wales and undoubtedly the
five hundred or one thousand Sc
lectors are now looking for
wife for him.
After that babies came regu-
larly, six, altogether, in IL years,
land Mary Victim took them to
her heart and sheltered them
from the royal whirl of life just
as if she had married through a
love match and had lived in a
cottage. With every new baby
she became more and more a
mother. Society saw less and
less of her; her calls upon the
fashionable modistes became less
frequent. There was always a
corner in one of the huge royal
palaces which she set aside as
home, with all that home means
When the other royal ladies
called they found Mary Victim
sewing clothes for the children
and acting just as If Mrs. Mary
Victim was her only name. These
royal ladies might smoke other,
where's, If that was the fashion
but they didn't smoke in the
Victim home.
They might leave their children
with the nurses and take theil
royal encourages on long, roya
trips, but the children always
went with her when Mrs. Mary
Victim travelled.
When her husband became king
of England, and she the queen,
the children romped in their car
rage on the way home from the
pompous scenes in Westminster
abbey, because they hadn't been
able to stop laughing ever since
they had seen Albert, their Oldest
brother, a few minutes before
walk down the aisle of the crowd
ed abbey in funny clothes and
bow very low before papa and
mamma, who sat on strange, high
seats, dressed in white fur.

NESM|TH'S FRIENDS
 ARE STILL ACTIVE
Think Governor Has Not Definitely Decided on the
 Appointment of Knox

Although Governor O'Neal was exceed ing reticent while In Birmingham in his discussion of the probable successor of the late Justice Simpson, the belief is gen- eral that the appointment of one of sev- eral gentlemen to the vacancy on the bench of the supreme court will be made in the very near future, probably this week.
 While the governor dropped inadver- tently the intimation that he would prob ably select John B. Knox, the well known lawyer of Anniston, Birmingham people close to the governor still adhere to the belief that Judge C. C. Nesmith will land.
 In behalf of the judge of the city court of Birmingham. delegation left Birming- nam yesterday afternoon for Montgomery. There the members of the delegation will sec the governor today. and put forth the argument that Birmingham. around which third of the suits which reach the su- preme court originate. deserves member of the supreme court, especially as 1t has not been so 4lonored since the time that Judge Sharpe was a member of that tribunal. They win point out the fact that Judge Nesmlth, in addition to his ability, has the advantage fin never having been affiliated with corporate interests.
 There seems to prevail the certain opin- ion that the governors choice will be one Of three men, John B. Knox of -Anniston. C. C. Nesmltsl of Birmingham or F.. Perry Thomas of Clayton.

SPECIAL ATTORNEYS NO LONGER USED O'Neal Discusses Handling
 of Rate Cases VERY HEAVY EXPENSE If He Deems It Necessary the Sery- ices of Weakley and Selheimer
 Will Be Secured Again
 in November
VERY HEAVY EXPENSE

Governor O'Neal, while in Birmingham. confirmed the report that Samuel D. Weakley and H. C. Selheimer, Birming-
 nam attorneys, were no longer in the service of the state in connection with the prosecution of the railroad rate cases.
 The governor stated, however, that when the passenger rate argument comes up for hearing before the railroad com mission in November. he would again en-
 gage the Birmingham attorneys if he deemed their services necessary. From what the governor said in con nection with this matter, Judge Weal<ley and MT Selheimer were paid for their services to the state the sum of 5000 each per month and that their contract with the state had dated from the incumbency of Governor Conner
 "I was very anxious stated the gov ernor that the passenger rate case against the Louisville and Nashville be
 heard in June, the original date set for the hearing. However, when the attor- neys asked that the hearing be postponed
 until November, l did not feel that 1t
 was just to the statee to continue their
 
 From the governors statement, 1t is in- dicated that the state will be represented in that hearing by Attorney General Brickell and any other counsel whom the ftate judges to be necessary. When the report was first published from Mont gomery that the attorneys who had served the state in the railroad rate fights for several years had been relieved of their duties, there was certain apprehension, inasmuch as it was known that they were
 more closely in touch with the situation than any others could be. However, the governor made 1t plain that he was determined to continue the fight.
 ''I will not issue a statement as to the
 plan l will pursue.' he said, but it Is true, nevertheless, that l am making a study of the case and will strike in the near future"
 Frank N. Julian. member of the rail road commission, was in Birmingham yes terday, but refraned from discussing the passenger rate case which will be heard Tn November In the hearing, the Louis vile and Nashville will be asked to state
 cause why that railroad increased its passenger rate from 2ta cents to cents per mile.

FINED FOR FAILING ANSWER SUMMONS 50 Cases on Judge Greene's
 Docket Yesterday DUTY TO THE COURTS Judge McCrossin States Next to Duty to God, a Man Owes Respect
 and Obedience to Courts
 of Justice

One of the largest dockets ever set in the first division of the criminal court was that of yesterday, when Judge Greene faced a list of Go cases. But few cases were tried. although many cases were disposed of.
 In the second division Judge McCrossin fined A l.. Puckett S10 and taxed him with the cost of an attachment for falling to answer a summons from the court.
 Mr Puckett was formerly ''spotter in the employ of Sheriff McAdory in pro- hibition days and at his instance many warrants were issued. These cases are being tired in the criminal court and Mr. Puckett is a material witness In the cases Yesterday he failed to show up and Judge McCrossin ordered an attach ment issued and late yesterday evening he was brought into court J. R. Tate, circuit solicitor, who is prosecuting in the second division, in his argument be- fore ths judge, scored the defendant se- wilfully ignored the mandates of the court MT. Tate stated that he was a frequent offender: that In numerous cases in which he was witness he had failed to obey tho summons, the returns show ing that he had been legally served. The solicitor said an example should be made and asked the court to inhiet the severest penalty.
 The defendant stated that he was 'up against it' and that he was trying to earn living for his family. He stated he did attend the courts when first sum- moned but that the frequent eontinuanees worked hardship on him and that he lost much time from his work
 In imposing the fine Judge McCrossin said
 'The respect for law and courts in this county is on the wane. Next to the duty you owe your God, you owe to your state obedience to the mandate of the courts Not the mandates of individuals but the mandates of the courts, and unless these are obeyed our judicial proceedings be- come farce. The evidence shows that you have deliberately ignored the sum mons to appear not only before this court but others. and that you have willfully absentet yourself from the sessions oi the court. I will fine you s10 and charge you with the cost of the attachment The growing practice of ignoring court orders must be stopped"

ROOSEVELT VISIT PROBABLY DELAYED
Bull Moose May Decide on Making Tour of Texas
 in October

1 While nothing has been received by indicate that the strenuous" ex-Presi- dent has changed his mind. and will not reach Birmingham until date later than September 2s. and while the Louis ville and Nashville railroad has not been apprised of any premeditated change oi the exPresidents plans. the belief is that announcement to such effect will be received in the immediate future.
 For it happens that the progressive chance of carrying Texas-although to the minds of democrats, Roosevelt has no more chance of gaining a foothold | in the Lone Star state than he has in Alabama. However, there seems to be no doubt but that if the opportunity to tour that state Is presented, Roose- welt will change his plans. In case he does tour Texas, he will reach Bir- mingham in October instead of Septem- Der 2S, as originally planned.
 Bull moose leaders are preparing a programme by means of which to en- certain MT. Roosevelt, although no an nouncement of the details of the ar- engagements will be made until 1t is deH- nitely settled on what day he will reach Birmingham. 1t is probable that dele- gation composed of progressives in Blr- mingham and Montgomery will meet Roosevelt in Mobile and remain at his side until he reaches the Tennessee line on his Journey back east.
 1 MT Roosevelt will deliver an address | at Montgomery. From the rear of his train. he will probably deliver a short speech In Clanton. He will make one speech in Birmingham, for certain, and if he will not disappoint his friends, he will yield to their persuasion that he make two.
