'UnderWood will be nomlHdleu'
 James Weatherly, commissioner of Bir- mingham and democratic committeeman from Alabama, returned to Birmingham with the above information. MT Weath- erly arrived in the city Friday night and put in his appearance bright and early Saturday morning at the city hall.
 He is "chock full" of Underwood en- thusiasm. stated that he had heard a great deal of Underwood talk and was satisfied that things would so work out that Underwood would be the nominee oi the party.
 "Mv reason for so thinking" said MT. Weatherly, lis that every man l talked with who was not for Underwood out and out. admitted that he was a splen- did statesman and would make good president. For this reason, I think that n majority of the delegates will go to the convention with Underwood virtual second choice. That would mean that Tn case of a deadlock between Wilson and somebody else, Underwood would go in.
 When asked if he did not think that much of the Underwood sentiment was really Harmon sentiment in dls- guise, MT. Weather1y replied that he thought so once, but was of a different opinion now.
 Sentiment Is Genuine
 "It is genuine" said MT Weatheriy.
 As for the election, MT. Weatheriy admitted that MT. Underwood would have trouble in swinging some Of the western states, but he believed that he would more than offset this by ms strength in the conservative eastern states. MT. Weatherly denied that MT. Underwood might suffer the same fate as Alton Parker.
 Harmon is on the order of Parker, but Underwood is not. Underwood makes an appeal to the conservatives without displeasing the radicals. He would be a progressive in every sense of the word-he always has been, and he has no connection with the inter- ests.
 q met MT. Wilson when I was in Washington" he continued, and found him a pleasant, smooth. yet forceful man. He's q live wire all right, and he is no radical, either. From all &C., counts, he was the most popular of all of them at the Jackston day banquet

No Prejudice Found

"As to his being from the south hay ing any effect on his nomination, this will have nc bearing on the situation, as at no time while I was in Washington, and when MT. Underwood and his op- portunities were discusserd, was there any mention made of his being from the south. People up there are beginning to believe that Underwood is the logical man and they make no reference what ever to his being a southern man.
 'Mr. Underwood's thoughtful mien and his attitude on all public matters with which he is connected has pressed him to the front
 q heard more favorable expressions of MT Underwood while in Washington than I heard of any other man whether his name has been mentioned as a probable democratic presidential candidate or not. Mr. Underwood s a big man and the na- ton is fast awakening to this fact. He will be the democratic nominee for the presidency beyond a doubt, according to my opinion"

Anent Jackson Banquet


 MT. Weatherly said that the idea that MT. Underwood remained away from the Jacksons banquet because MT. w. J. Bryan would be preesnt made very little impression on any of the thinking pub lie, and not ripple was caused in Wash ipgton by a false deduction of an honest statement.
 MT. Underwood, as we all know, has recently been confined to his room owing to illness, and while in a state of recuperation his physicians advised him to be very prudent, and not attend ban ouets and late dinners Acting under this advice, he didn't attend the dinner" says MT weatherly.
 1T saw much of MT. Underwood while in Washington, and he is looking very well and is fast recovering from his slight attack of indigestion.
 Baltimore Proper Place
 'The selection of Baltimore as the con- vention city was very pleasing to me, and I favored that city above all oth- CTS believe that holding the conven- ton in Baltimore will even augment MT. Underwood's bright chances of receiving the nomination."
 MT. Weatherly when asked concerning his tilt with W. J. Bryan, stated that MT. Bryan's attack was not made on him, but was merely at technical point raised by the prominent Nebraskan con corning the seating of members of the cemmmittee.
 MT. Weatherly enjoyed his visit to Washington very much, and on his return to the city hall immediately waded into the large amount of business that was awaiting his arrival.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-01-14
Underwood Is Happy

As soon as l reached Washington, went into consultation with MT. Un- derwood. He was still showing signs of his recent Illness, but was happy and naturally so as a result of the nation wide expression of satisfaction in him and his work
 "I referred to the account in the newspapers of his declination of the invitation to attend the Jackson Day dinner, and he smiled. He did not make an unnecessary denial of the in timation that he had declined on ac- count of the fact that Bryan was slated to speak last. but the facts in the case are that his physician had forbidden him to attend. And it Is well that he did not, as when the hour of 3 o'clock rolled around that night, the peerless Nebraskan was still on his feet.

manding the point of order, called on

DEFENSE IN OARROW CASE
IS PRESENTING ARGUMENT

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13.-Horace
Appel opened the defense argument in
the Darrow trial this morning. He de-
clared the defendant had been hailed
into court only through suspicion, and
attempted to convince the jury that
the state only offered the unsupported
words of Bert Franklin of Darrow's
alleged connection with the bribery.
He delivered a long emotional argu-
ment
Growing more bitter as he pro-
gressed, Apple exclaimed: Yesterday
you heard Ford say that this case
reeks with perjury and corruption.
That was the most contemplate false
hood ever uttered in a court of law.
1t was uttered, gentlemen of the jury,
to prejudice you against me and other
honest men, and to send Darrow to
prison
Wheeling on Ford, Appel shouted.
THAT was the most dirty, contempti-
BILE and malicious of anything uttered
by you"
Ford gazed at Appel, apparently un-
moved.
Appel devoted almost the entire
morning 10 an attack on Franklin and
John R. Harrington, referring to them
as ''perjured scoundrels." AS he spoke
of the bribery of Lockwood, Appel
waved $4,000 in currency under the
jurors noses. 1t was money taken
from Lockwood and Captain White,
alleged stakeholder, when arrested.
DarrOw watched the jury closely dur
ing the argument, frequently whisper
ing to his wife.
Appels voice was frequently broken
during the argument. On these oc-
casions Darrow closely watched the
effect on the jury, and leaned forward
in his chair when Appel declared:
Judas Iscariot was a better man than
Franklin or Harrington. He was a
gentleman. He hanged himself after
betraying his master"

TALK OF THE CANAL

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONSI
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The pros
poets are good for an early agreement
of the house and senate on the Pana-
ma canal bill and the immediate sigma
ture by the President. 1t is further
predicted that if this is fulfilled Great
Britain will offer no protest. Burton
of Ohio, in the senate today, continued
his attack on the bill, saying 'the
Hay-Paunceforte treaty. am familiar
measure is a palpable violation of the
with the circumstances under which
the treaty was framed. Hay demand
ed the open-door for China and Russia
and the other nations acquiesced. Our
policy for years has been the absolute
equality of all nations in navigable
channels. 1t could not now be con
sistent with this treaty without grant
ing all equal privileges"

II begins to look now as though the
day was near at hand when the inter-
national problems connected with the
use of the water of the Colorado river
would find their final solution.
Several months since when Presi
dent Madero of Mexico sent new am
bassador to Washington he was par
ticularly charged with the desirability
of appointing a joint commission to
solve the problems in question, while
cur own government had several years
since caused a report to be prepared
on the lower Colorado which looked to
a similar solution.
Affairs were thus working to a def
mite end when the Imperial irrigation
district sent its secretary, George l..
Melton, to Washington to work along
the same line.
The presence here during the last
few days of Senor r. l.. Hernandez,
secretario de fomento of the Mexican
republic, who came to study the irri-
cation problems in person, shows that
Mexico has taken this question up in
all seriousness, and the return of Mr..
Melton this morning from Washington
indicates that he considers the work
at the national capital well in hand.
Mr.. Melton brings word that Ameri-
can Ambassador H. w. Wilson, at the
City of Mexico, is now negotiating
with the Mexican department of state
for treaty which will give to the
United States government jurisdiction
over that portion of the irrigation sys-
tenn in Mexico, and that congress
stands ready to make an appropriation
at the next session to cover the cost
OF permanent control works along the
river.
The situation as a whole is highly
satisfactory to the valley and looks as

SOLVING INTERNATIONAL PROBLEMS
IN THE PRACTICE OF IRRIGATION

though the last obstacle to the COM
plete control of the irrigation system
by the people OF the valley soon would
be removed
Temporary Solution
Mr.. Melton this morning stated that
a conference was held in Los Ange-
les yesterday. which was attended by
Secretario Hernandez and representa-
tives of the irrigation district, the Cal
ifornia Development company and the
Mexican company, with view to ar
irving at temporary understanding
between the various interests, and
while nothing was accomplished at
the conference, adjournment was
taken until Thursday morning, when it
is hoped an agreement will be reached
which will bring more harmony into
the interests below the international
line.
Directors in Session
The directors OF the irrigation dis
trict held a meeting this morning be-
hind closed doors. at which Mr.. Melton
presented the following written re
port:
To the Honorable Board of Directors
Imperial Irrigation District:
Gentlemen: In accordance with
your instructions of March %, 1912,

purpose of securing federal assistance

1t has been brought to our attention
by actual observation that a great
many people purchase a large ma
jOrity of their jewelry of mail order
houses.
One reason for this is because they
have not had the privilege of buying
of the Crescent Jeweiry Co. This may
sound egotistical on our part, but if
you have the interests of Imperial val
ley at heart and want to keep your
money in circulation at home, we ask
you to consider the following PROPOSE
ton:
We will discount all mail order cata-
logue prices 10 per cent and furnish
the same goods at their prices, less
the 10 per cent discount, and save you
the express. On contract goods we
duplicate at catalogue price, no dis
count We require cash in advance
and ten days for delivery, the same as
you give the mail order house. No
item is too small for us to handle and
we will deliver the goods without
question or delay.
We are from Missouri Gods coun-
try, and ask you to come in and en-
joy our hospitality. We are here for
business, for the money, but we are
going to give you your moneys worth.
We have been in homes where the
mail order catalogue occupied as
prominent a place as the Bible. If
you honor it in your home because you
can save money, bring it in and let us
discount the prices and help you in
your struggle to keep down the cost
of high living.
We furnish anything in the jewelry
line, including clocks, silverware, cut
glass and novelties.
