ALBERT ]. JEWELL |.
AVIATOR, MISSING

New York, October 13.-One of the
aviators who was to have taken part
in the aeroplane race around Manhat-
tan Island today is missing tonight He
is Albert J. Jewell. He left Hampstead
Plains, L. l., at 7;40 o'clock this morn
ing for Staten Island, driving a mono
plane in which he intended to fly in
the race. Since then nothing has been
heard from him.
Some of the avitors are of the opin-
ion that Jewell, caught in the gale that
was blowing, may have been carried
out to sea and lost, while others express
the belief that he landed at some out OF
the way point on Long Island and has
simply neglected to report his where
abouts.
Jewell Is q years old and has a wife
and family living on Staten Island. 1t
is said he came here from California.
He received his license from the Aero
club six months ago, taking the name,
Sidney Jordan. The longest flight he
ever took is said to have been some
thing over an hours duration. He had
never done any cross-country flying
nor made any trips across water. Wire
less messages have been sent to steam
ships at sea to watch for Jewell

Montgomery, October 13-tSpeclal)
Probate judges who have failed TO remit
collections for franchises and licenses
on the last day OF the month and have
ben penalized the amount of their COM
missions will appeal 10 the state board
of compromise. They say they cannot
make the report and mail them on the
evening Of the last day of the month
and that they should be given more
time.
J.. p. Stiles, probate Judge of Jefferson
county, has been charged with all col
iections received during his term and it
is probable that he viii be the first

mise. Judges Of the larger counties
maintain that the law is great hard
ship on them as more than day each
month is necessary in compiling and
writing the report
Other probate judges will take no ac-
ton until the board has passed on Judge
Stiles appeal.

THE SENATORIAL
SITUATION IN STATE.
AS ACUTE AS EVER
Alabama Still Minus Second
Representative in Senate.
Up to Governor O'Neal
to Solve the Question
BY l.. $. BETTY

Montgomery. October 13.-(Speclal)
The senatorial situation in Alabama is
as acute as it was prior to the APP
pointment of Representative Henry ID.
Clayton the successor of the late
Senator Joseph f. Johnston. When Mr..
CLAYTON withdrew his credentials for
the vacant senatorship he left the sit
uation just as it was before he was
named for the office. Alabama was
then and is now without second rep
resentative in the United States Sem
ate and it devolves upon Governor
O'Neal to solve the question.
When Governor o'Nea1 named Mr..
Clayton as Senator Johnston's sue
cessor he believed he had the power
to appoint. The governor still retains
his conviction though he will proba-
bly, wait some time before again TAX
Ing hand in the matter.
To the Montgomery Herald cor
respondent the governor stated this
afternoon that he has not made up his
mind. II still believe / have the power
to appoint" he said. but I shall take
my time. Had Mr.. Clayton's creden-
tails remained longer before the Sem
though the impression prevails that he
would not have been seated. Eminent
lawyers. however. have told me that
] was acting within my rights when
appointed a senator and i am firmly
liked in the. conviction. The situation
is the same as II was at the time Of
Senator Johnstons death. Alabama
needs another senator and there are
several courses to be pursued in fill
ing the vacant office. l have not yet
determined what course shall pur-
sue.
This was all the governor would
say. Mr.. Clayton has retired and it
behooves the governor either to fill the
unexpired term or to allow the office
to remain vacant until the next regular
term.
He has one certain eourse-a legis-
lative session. The legislature may
empower him to make an appointment
ad iterim, pending a special election. or
may authorize that special election
be held. A special session may COM
plicate the situation to a very material
extent and In the end accomplish little
good. Should the state lawma kers au-
thorize an election it would probably
mean that Mr.. Underwood would have
to come to Alabama. enter the race
for the unexpired term and the demo-
cratic leader of the House could i'll at
ford the time, II is said. to make two
campaigns in the state during the pres
ent Congress.
With the situation as it is at present
Governor O'Neal Is in "A dilemma He
was fully cognlzant of the plan to re-
tain Mr.. Claytons services in the
House and he speaks with high appro-
baton of the Presidents letter But
with reference to his future course the
governor has not yet made up his
mind and will not do so for several
days He appreciates the fact that the
matter needs much thought and DELHI
Grafton and he will bend his endeavors
during the next few days toward solv-
ing the delicate question.

the defense. The general belief tonight
seemed to be that all deliberations of the
court henceforth would be i'm secret and
that the public would only know the
result
erstitious persons who recalled it was
the 18th day of the month saw all sorts
of i'll omens in the judges beginning their
consideration of the evidence today.
Surge to Halls
Although 1t has been generally known
for days that only two or three hundred
would be able to crowd their way into
the galleries. this did not deter several
hundred persons from surging into the
capitol halls and attempting TO get in
side the court room after the galleries
were filed. Only those who wore badges
or were members of the court got in
side the court room and the first Corners
were let into the galleries Most Of
them were women Scores of spectators
remained around the court room until
body started a story that Governor Sui
ger was going to pay the court a call
and demand that he be heard and there
were those who kept their eyes on the
elevators expecting momentarily to see
the governor stride through the halls
and before the judges.
The hour of the reconyening of the i'm
parchment court tomorrow was set an
hour and half later than usual In or
der that the senatorial members of the
court might attend the session of the
legislature set for II o clock.

ORIGIN OF FIRE AT
LUCILLE A MYSTERY

Montgomery October H. Especial }
Officials have been unable to solve the
mystery about the origin Of the fire
which destroyed the prison at Lucille

of the state board of convict inspec-
tors, returned to Montgomery yester-
day and reported that no one knew

MAY CHANGE NAME
|. EPISCOPAL Church
Suggested That Corporate
Name Be American
Catholic Church

New York, October 1s.-The suggestion
that the corporate name of the Protestant
Episcopal church be changed to the Amer
lean Catholic. church preciptated a long
debate today at the general convention
of the church. At the instance of the
high church delegates 1t was voted by
the House of Deputies to appoint a COM
mission to revise the prayer book but
before this decision was reached the low
church delegates had succeeded in hav-
ing restricting amendments made to the
resolution that authorized appointment
of the commission.
1t was openly declared by low church
delegates that the resolution as intro
duced by the high church members left
the way clear for the commission to de-
eide for the whole House of Deputies
that the church name should be changed
The amendments made 1t impossible for
the commission to take such action if it
desired to do so.

The resolution to revise and enrich
the book of common prayer was offered
by the diocese of California and the mis-
sionary district of Arizona, which asked

far as contradictory evidence was con-
oerned and for that reason is said to
be considered by some of the members
of the court the strongest adduced in
proof of the governors alleged unritness
to hold office. In view of the fact that
each of the eight articles is to be voted
on separately, it was found that when
the members of court We're ready to
convene today that there was much
doubt as to under which article the
testimony should be considered.
1t was said furthermore that some of
tile members felt that i'm the event
that the court should grant the as yet
undecided motion to strike out articles
l. 2 and 6, the money articles" on the
constitutional ground that they dealt
with offenses committed before the gov
ernor took office, practically little
would be LETT of the case.
They Thought it was desirable, there
fore, it was said, either TO strengthen
article by including the Ryan Morgen-
thau-Peek charges or TO set them apart
as an additional article.
Opening Delayed
The opening of court was delayed more
than half an hour on account of con-
ference of the nine judges of the court
of appeals. 1t was said that the Ryan
