KING PETER IS IN TROUBLE

Is the bloody drama of 1903 about
to be repeated in Belgrade? That Is
a question that all Europe, including
Servian people themselves, are ask
ing. For weeks reports have emanat-
ed from Belgrade that a conspiracy
has been formed among the officers of
the army having for its purpose the
dethronement of King Peter, If nee
essary, by as violent means as those
of the terrible night nine years ago,
when King Alexander and Queen
Draga were murdered in the palace.
King Peter is paying for whatever
guilty knowledge he may have had Of
the regicide plot with uneasy days
and sleepless nights. Now in his
sixty-eighth year, he is wondering if
it was worth while after all, to trade
his peace of mind as private citizen
in Switzerland for tho bloody crown
of Servia. Through the palace still
stalks the restless ghost of Alexander
and the kings ears must still resound

That George H. Bodeker. chief of po- lice, was a competent official and had performed his whole duty was com pliment paid to the head of police last night by City Commissioner A. O. Lane ,of the department of justice. Judge Lane has known Chief Bodeker for 20 years and has been more or less intimate with him since Birmingham was village. The recent criticism by certain citizens pro voked Commissioner Lane to say last night:
 Chief Bodeker has performed his duty He has not been guilty of>sany infrac- tions or l would have recommended his dismissal without the slightest hesita- ton.
 q consider him an excellent chief and I do not have to say 1t for general in- formation but George Bodeker is one of the best detectives in this whole sec ton of the country. That is known and recognized by capable authorities. l shall not dismiss anyone on rumors or crit ieisms unless I am convinced that an employe does not perform his full duty

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Presentation of Flag
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor Of The Age-Herald.
 It is due to Miss Carson, past sponsor Tor the Fourth brigade to correct a false report, viz: that she presented to the Fourth brigade flag at Selma as her personal gift.
 This is not the case The money was contributed by friends of the Fourth bri- rade here and elsewhere, and the money was sent to the manufacturers through ihe Jefferson County bank. She did not present the flag as her personal gift, as her presentation speech will show, a copy If which is given herewith.
 J. T. GARRETSON. Birmingham, November 4, 1912.
 My association with you as sponsor for hs Fourth brigade, Alabama division, U. c. VI, I consider one of the happiest 6 my life, and today as I hold this em- blem of the cause for which you fought b gallantly on the battlefelds. and re- member how valiantly you rallied to the eall of duty and offered your life blood or the ideals which were dearer than life 10 you, my heart thrills with pride that [ am chosen for the privilege of present. hg to you these colors.
 ''The red of your flag represents your hearts blood so freely offered, and the white is emblematic of the purity of your motive in unfurling to the world the bat le flag of the Confectionery.
 To-day your flag represents little band of the bravest men who ever smiled Into the face of smiling nature-not so much the jubilant soldier of '61 as the man pf 1912, who has borne in his heart for 10 years the sacred memories and the lragic recollectons of the Lost Cause 1t is not the lost cause, for in song and h story and in the hearts of our people he southern Confederacy is found wherever is found that principle of right thinking, high ideals, and admiration for he truly brave.
 Yours was a glorious cause. and right gloriously did you of the Fourth brigade lcquit yourselves
 Tt was a sacred cause, and today is beld in sacred memory by the soldiers of 61 and by their descendants wherever lound.
 Members of the Fourth brigade, pre- lent your colors. May it quicken your pulse as in the days of 61. and may it's ,olors never grow dim to the men who followed where it led.''
