EIGHT PLUMS WILL
FALL TO ALABAMA
WITHIN SHORT TINE
Middle District Attorney
ship Attracts More At
tentiOn Than Others
LIST OF APPLICANTS
FOR VARIOUS PLACES
Announcements of Winners Are Ex-
pected to be Made Within the
Next Week or Two by
the President
RY C. e. STEWART.

Washington, November 25.-rhere are
eight federal plums to be plueked from
a seemingly reluctant administration tree
for Alabama, and some of them at least
will be handed out in the course of the
newt week or two, and all of them in due
course.
The district attorneysIip for the mid
die district has attracted more attention.
perhaps, than all the rest because of the
vigorous fight that has been waged for
this place. There are eight candidates
for Warren Reese's shoes, but the real
contest has been between Tyler Goodwin,
the state chairman of the democratic
party, who has been backed by Senator
Bankhead and Thomas d Sanford of
Opelika, who bears the Endorsement of
several congressman, ana enjoys the
friendship of the President. So deter
mined has been this contest that 1t is
possible now that a compromise candi-
date will be selected. Three times has
this appointment been practically settled
Twice in favor of Goodwin and once in
favor of Sanford. On each occasion
either someting in the way of new evil
dence' or some other good reason stopped
the appointment right at the last moment.
1t is said however, that there is no
doubt but what some kind of a decision
will be reached this week The other can
didates for the place are:iJ. A. Carnley,
Iclba Ala; c. r. Broken, LIlverne;
Henry Stegall, Ozark, now candidate for
Congress opposing Henry d. Clayton; w.
H. Stoddard, Luverne, and J. B. Rylance
Dadevile
In the northern district the contest has
not been so sharp, probably because the
: commission of Oliver d. Street does not
expire for some time to come The cam
didates for the northern district are
Robert n. Bell, of Birmingham; w. G..
PEBBLES, Jasper; r. r. Simpson, Florence;
Paul Hodges, Florence, and c. l.. Odel,
Bessemer.
There are quite a number trying for
the southern district, but for the same
reasons prevailing in the northern district
there has as yet been no real fight.
They are: Is. f. Mcmillan, Mobile; \. D..
Pitts, Selma; r. H. Smith, Mobile; James
A. Stallworth, Evergreen; Alex Z. How
ard, Mobile; Robert H. Mangum, Selma;
NORMAN D..Godbold Camden and John Z.
|ltchel, Mobile.

habitants of Alabama desire to serve I'm
Gle Sam as United States district marshal,
the northern district having seven can
didates as follows: T. L. Long, Jasper;

UNITED STATES
SEEKING ARREST
OF SANTOSzELAYA
Former President of Mica

abOuts Not Known

Washington, November 25.-Through the
department of justice the United States
government is bending every effort to
secure the arrest of former President J.
Santos Zelaya of Nicaragua, wanted by
the Nicaraguan government on a charge
of assassination and abuse of authority
in causing the death of two Nicaraguans.
Doingo Torbio and sixto Pineda, at
Masaya April 21, 1901.
Ordinarily a government seeking the ex-
tradition of an alleged criminal is ex-
pected to secure his arrest through its
own agencies, but there is an unusual
provision in the existing extradition treaty
between the United States and Mica
ragua. This makes it the duty
of the United States government to
''endeavor to procure the provisional ar
rest of such criminal upon being in
formed by telegraph or otherwise through
the diplomatic channel that a warrant
has been issued by competent authority
for his arrest and that this warrant with
a proper requisition for the surrender of
the criminal is about to be made

RAILROAD RATE
HEARING ENDS.
Adjournment Taken to Al
low Counsel to Analyze
Statements

Washington, November 25.-Preliminary
hearings before the Interstate commerce
commission on the application of the rail-
roads in eastern classification territory
for an advance of 5 per cent in all freight
rates We're concluded late today. An ad-
journment was taken until Wednesday,
December 10, in order to afford the COM
mission and opposing counsel time to
analyze the mass of statements, testi-
mony and statistics submitted by attor-
neys for the roads
The evidence submitted today was de-
signed to demonstrate in concrete and
analytical form the declared necessity
for the proposed increase in freight rates.
Accounting experts, statisticians. rate
makers and experienced traffic officers
submitted to the commission a wilderness
of tables, showing the financial opera
tions of the eastern ro;.ds, separately and
combined. Many months have been spent
in their preparation. They are to be made
the basis of the testimony subsequently
to be offered in support of the proposed
increase
Situation Serious
The figures offered today tended to
prove that while the roads, generally, are
enjoying an increased business the re-
turns from operations continuously are
decreasing until as Vice President w. c.
Maxwell of the Wabash declared:
''The situation is becoming daily more
serious. We are suffering from slow
starvation"
1T was stated that the demands OF the
travelling and the shipping public for i'm
provement and extension of railroad
facilities could be met by the roads only
as they We're enabled to obtain more
money. The margin of profit. it was as
serted, was so constantly narrowing that
it was becoming increasingly difficult to
obtain the necessary additional capital
with which adequately to maintain, equip
and operate the roads.
Elaborate explanations were. made of
the methods pursued in making the
per cent increase, which substantially,
it was developed, applies to all traffic ex-
cept eastbound anthracite coal. On an
thracite no increase was made because
of PENDING Investigations by the inter-
state commerce commission and the de-
partment of justice.

Whereabouts Unknown

So when the state department was re-
quested by the Nicaraguan legation here
to arrest Zelaya the department of JUS
tice was promptly called upon to secure
his apprehension. No one here knows
the whereabouts of Zelaya this time,
though he recently came to Washington
and unsuecessfully sought an interview
with Secretary Bryan.
The only other country which has a.
treaty with the United States including
provision regarding the arrest of fugi-
tives from justice similar to the one in
the Nicaraguan pact is Mexico, which
not long ago successfully called upon the
state department to cause the arrest of
former Governor Brito of the Mexican
state of Campeche, who then was a
fugitive from his own country in New
Orleans.

!. Trading in the market continues
active. 1t would be far brisker could
the urgency for binder leaf be fully
gratifed. The scarcity and necessity
of that type has caused speculative in
vestments again in the new just matur-
ing crop in spite of the stringent Wis
consin law against docking. The big
manufacturing corporations must prov
identity provide themselves with binder
leaf and the large packing concerns
have likewise to look out for their Gus
toners and so all precautions against
gambling in futures" go for naught.
TRANSACTIONS in all kinds Of filler leaf
continue to be seasonable, while the
somewhat slackening demand for wrap
per leaf does not seem to cause any
worry to either the holders of foreign
or domestic leaf. To the latter, be-
cause the market is pretty well cleared
of it, and to the former because the
reductions in the importations of Su-
matra is likely to foster a larger de-
mand for it later on. In the Havana
market steady business is going on.
Factory vegas are largely sought for
and livelier movement is also notice
able in Remedies. j ournal.

OFhlNGFlEIAD, mAOO.; OCG. 20, 1910.
Warehouses are beginning to open in
the Connecticut valley. Sizing is we'll
under way in several establishments
and packers will soon have pretty
definite idea concerning the possibilities
of the new crop. Labor is unusually
abundant in the tobacco belt.
The weight of opinion seems to be
that the 1913 Havana Seed crop will not
be more than 60 or IS per cent of a
normal yield. Moreover, there are
broad intimations that the proportion
of the crop which will have to be grad
ed as filters will be surprise in many
instances. Manufacturers need have
no hope of relief from New England as
regards the binder situation. The Val
ley is bare of old binder stock and the
new binders will be shipped to waiting
manufacturers and dealers at the earli-
est moment.
The 1913 Connecticut shaded tobacco
will be we'll up to the average and, IN
fact, will be better than some shaded
crops which manufacturers bought
greedily. This does not mean that the
crop will run uniformly good or that
shaded growers experienced no i'll eff
fects from the drouth. The first, and
on some plantations, the second prim-
ing as a rule was not of the best quail
ity, but showers fell in the nick of time
and the later pickings in most cases
were about all that could be desired.

have retired from the field and the ag-
gregate sales of the week have declin-
ed materially from the previous one.
Prices however, have been we'll main
tanned and figures close to the top are
yet being paid. The aim so far, of
course, is to secure the choice selec-
tions of the crop. The following are a
few of the larger transactions closed:

The local leaf market is fair. That
much, at least, may be said for trade,
and everything now points to improve
ments in business. The packers re-
port steady demand for old goods,
but cigar manufacturers, as rule,
want to buy at a figure that leaves no
margin for the packer. The latter,
when be has desirable goods, evinces
no hurry to get rid of his tobacco at
sacrifice prices, being convinced that
the tendency on figures is upwsrd.
Many of the factories have enough
orders on hand to keep them running
steady until the end of the year, and
those that are not in this catalogue are
receiving enough from time to time to
assure good business. Under such con-
ditions it will require a great deal of
tobacco to fill orders, and it is predict
ed that before long there will be a
scramble for the old goods in the local
warehouses, including the 1909 tobacco.
In a very quiet way considerable
amount of 1909 goods are being sold.
The local packers are now extremely
sorry that they did not buy more of
the 1912 crop for it begins to look gilt
edged Some has been sold, and it was
at above fifteen cents, too, but just
how much the packers who sold refuse
