YOUNG MRS. ASTOR'S PLIGHT

Persons of prominence-some of
them women foremost in the advocacy
of equal rights for women-are con-
demning Col. John Jacob Aston be-
cause of the provision of his will that
gives to Mrs Astor the income of S.
000000 so long as she shall remain
single" If the beautiful young widow
marries she will lose this income. Thej
comment of Mrs Ida Hustled Harper
is characteristic of the meddling crit.
icisn of others.
The taking away of her income
and house from Mrs Aston says Mrs.
Harper ''in the event of her remar-
riage, seems to me most unfair
thing to do. 1t would be a very self
ish thing on the part of man or
woman who is old, but especially so in
this case, where girl is just stepping
into life. In doing SO man is depriv-
ing his widow Of the privileges of fam
lily which belong to the state. II view

GREETING BY ELKS

A royal reception was rendered Con-

at the meeting of the Birmingham Lodge

regular business was transacted a num-
Der of short talks were made under the
head of good of the order" and every
one paid some tribute of brotherly friend
ship to the distinguished guest.
The talks were non-politcal in their
nature, but were expressions in the high
est terms of the esteem in which Mr..
Underwood was held by his fraternal
brothers. Among those who spoke were:
Judge Oscar Hundley, Judge w. p. Nc
Crossin, Harry Jones, Senator Victor At
kins of Selma, Commissioner James
Weatherly, E. w. Barrett. r. E. Neil of
Selma, Oscar Turner, ]. e. Shelby, C. E.

Mr.. Underwood made a brief response
and thanked the members of the lodge
for the many courtesies that had been ex-
tended. AT the close of the meeting a
luncheon was spread in the dining room
which was greatly enjoyed. There were
about 200 members present including
quite a delegation from the Ensley and
Bessemer lodges.

New York, November 4.-Sweeping
gains were made by the republicans all
through the state today, following a cam
paign in which the issue OF 1Tammany

Number of Candidates for Various

BY HUGH w. RoBERTs

Governor O'Neal announcing that he
would not make the appointment of a
senator while in Birmingham, left yester-
day afternoon with the situation un-
changed 1t is, however, definitely known
that he will make an appointment.
While in Birmingham the governor was
repeatedly questioned by many people
concerning the probability of an extra
session, but he was able to throw no
light on this matter, either, Birming-
ham is anxious that the solons be called
together and the governor states that
he will issue the call as soon as he is
convinced that it is practical and expe-
dent to do so.
Tyler Goodwin of Montgomery, chair
men of the state democratic executive
Z committee, while in Birmingham yester-
day. was sphinx-lilSe. He had nothing
definite to say. He did express the opin-
ion that the committee would be called
together late in December rather than
early In January but could offer moth
ing in the way of an indication as to
the date of the primary, or the plan to
prevail at the primary.
The indications are however, that the
primary will be called for a date in May
or June, and that the plurality plan will
prevail.
Mr.. Goodwin, as is known, is an ap-
plicant for the position of attorney for
the middle district of Alabama. His op-
, ponent is T. D. Sanford of opelika. Mr.
Sanford was also in Birmingham

the interest of Goodwin, while the Presi-
dent is inclined to Sanford.
1t was thought some weeks ago that
the way was clear for Goodwin, and that
with victory on his banner in this respect,
Senator Bankhead would agree to the
confirmation of John d. McNeel, an ap-
plicant for collector Of internal revenue
for Alabama and Mississippi But some
thing happened to prevent the SLATE"
