HEFLIN WILL PROBABLY
REMAIN AT HIS POST

1t is not generally believed that Con-
gresham Heflin will enter. There have
been calls for IIeflin. for the people have
desired to witness a struggle between
him and Hobson in regard to the woman
suffrage propaganda of the latter candi-
date. Inasmuch, however, as Mr.. Clay
ton has been appointed and has am
nounced his candidacy for another term
it is thought very probable that Mr.
Heflin will not announce against him.
John w. Abercrombie representing the
state at large in the Congress, is quoted
as having reiterated his former express
sion-that he will not run for the Senate
unless his job is done away with follow
ing the redistricting of the state. He has
already published his senatorial platforms
incidentally.
No candidate against Mr.. Abercrombie
for congressman at large has been mem

FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL
AND THE SUPREME COURT

There promises to be an interesting
struggle for the honorable office of attor-
ney general, graced at the present time
by Robert c. Briekell. Col Gardner
Greene Of Pell City was the first to an
nounce. Other candidates will proba bly,
be Logan Martin, assistant attorney gem
eral; George Pegram, member of the
legislature from Marengo; D. Henry Rid
die of Talladega and possibly Fred Wall
of Birmingham.
There will be two contests. In all prob
ability, for positions on the bench of the
supreme court. The terms of Justices
Mayfield and Degrafffenreid will have ex-
pired next year, and it is understood
that each will be a candidate to succeed
himself. No formal opposition has de-
veloped, but it is currently reported that
Judge Armestead Brown and Judge w.
\, Thomas of Montgomery win be candi-
dates. 1t is considered probable that Bir-
mingham and Jefferson county, where
originate possibly third of supreme court
litigation, will present a candidate for
the consideration of the people.
Hereinafter in today's Age-IIerald it
will be seen that would-be congressman
are also unusually active.

THOUGHT THAT ALLEN
ENTERED TOO LATE

1t appears that Mr.. Allen, who is an es-
Unable citizen and very popular through
out the city, got into the field too late,
and at a time when the demand for Mr..
Ward was rampant. The fact that there
are already two lawyers members of the
commission has also initiated against
him, for the impression is general that
along with two legal minds there should
be one, at least, trained in the lines OF
practical business.
C. r. Wood, the socialist candidate, Is
contining his campaign principally to
speech making, and in his speeches he
handles his opponents and those who
stand against him without gloves. But
for occasional references to him In the
newspapers it would scarcely be known
that he was in the field.

KILBY SEEMS TO
HAVE REAL CINCH

While there is doubt as to the outcome
of the governors race. the indications
grow stronger and stronger that the on
ly candidate for the office of Lieutenant
governor will win in a walk. The chances
are that Thomas e. kilby, the candidate,
will have no opposition, and should op.
position develop, so thoroughly has the
Admission senator canvassed the field, 1t
is practically certain that it could avail
nothing.
Several names have been mentioned as
probable opponents of Mr.. Kilby, but as
stated, it is not believed that either of
those who have been discussed will enter.
Last week, in political circles, Nathan
l.. Miller OF Birmingham was mentioned,
but Mr.. Miller has not authorized state
ment in this regard. 1t has been under
stood also that George NJ. Howle has
contemplated making the race. Col. w
l.. Pitts of Uniontown is another who
has been discussed

Test for Newlyweds

Berlin. August 16.-tSpecial.) )-Many OF
the small towns in Eudope have dis
tinctive wedding customs which must
be observed, and of these the old noun
tain town of Wildemann, in Germany,
claims one that is particularly interest
ing and quaint.
On the day before the wedding the
young men interested in the couple place
saw horse on the top of the house
where the bride is lodging, usually upon
chimney, and the bridegroom has to
take it down before the wedding.
On the wedding day the couple find
a rope barring their way after they leave
the church, and they are not allowed
to pass until they have sawed in two
the lSnotty log lying upon the horse.
The inhabitants of the town gather
around to watch the saving, which is
supposed to show whether or not the
couple will pull well together

Land Ownership in Ianan

| In regard to the right of land owner
ship in Japan by foreigners, the Toxic
Asahi eve avail ourselves of the trans
lation by the Japan Maid quotes an ex-
pert as stating that the assertion of the
California authorities that Japan has nc
right to raise any opposition to the Cali
fornia alien land ownership bill while she
herself denies the right of land owner
ship to foreigners. requires some modif-
cation. for the right of land ownership
by foreigners in Japan is recognized by
the law passed in April, 1910, says the
Kolu Herald. 1t is true that the date
for the enforcement of the law has not
yet been fixed, hut this is because the
regulations are not very perfect and also
because the investigations necessary for
the issue of an imperial ordinance re-
garding the enforcement of the law are
not yet completed. As regards the inn
perfect points of the law, it may be
pointed out that the right of land own
ership is restricted to foreigners residing
in the country and also that foreign iu-
dicial persons are not entitled to own
land without the permission of the min
lister of home affairs. The authorities are
no wengaged in investigation as to these
unsatisfactory points with a view to a
revision prior to fixing a date for the
enforcement of the law
Apart from the defective nature of the
law itself there are a great many things
requiring investigation before the law
comes into force. For instance there IS
the question of what countries are entitled
to participate in the law, which Is appli-
cable only to the nations of countries
granting the same rights TO Japanese.
Thus there is a necessity of investigating
the land laws of the different countries.
Again, the law provides that no for
eigners are entitled to the right of land
ownership In districts of strategical inn
portance, but what places are to be re-
garded as such must be determined by an
imperial ordinance. 1t is on account of
these preliminary investigations that the
laws passed a few years ago has not yet
been proclaimed

WOMAN LOSES $4,000 IN A
RIDE IN A CHICKEN CAR

Chicago, August 16.-(Special. )-Dressed
IN oyeral1s and cap, Mrs. Lulu Ingham, an
attractive young widow of Mulberry
Grove. ILL.,, was taken from a chicken
ca in the Baltimore and Ohio freight
yards here by the police. Her arrest was
the result of $1,000 wager with friends
that she could make the trip from East
St Louis to New York undetected in a
freight car, accompanied by Harry K
Ingllam, her brother-in-law, commission
merchant, of East st. Louis.
Mrs. Ingham had two suitcases filed
with women's clothing, a large sum of
money and wore diamond rings and a.
thirty-second degree Masonic ring, which
belong to her husband.
While examining the train Railroad Po-
liceman Smith found her in a compart-
ment containing 1000 live chickens en-
route to the New York market. Smith
discovered her sex at once. Her brother
in-law had gone from the car to get ice
when the officer took the fair masque-
raider into custody.
While leaving the freight car passen-
ger train approached on another track at
high speed, and Mrs. Ingham had a mar
row escape. She was saved by the officer
pushing her from the track.
She was brought to this city by the
railroad officers, her identity made known
and was then taken to a hotel, where she
bathed and donned women's clothes and
had dinner. The woman in mans clothes
created a sensation while riding on a
street car to the hotel. She laughed and
jokeo with the Officers and railroad Of
ficials about her Jolly trip"
Later she bought a ticket for Newark.
and left on a passenger train for the
east. The railroad company advised her

tract to haul live chickens. 1t called for
only one attendant in the car. He saw
Ingham with ice and found the supposed
other man sitting on sacks of chicken
feed. When asked if she was not woin-
an, she laughingly answered: "Yes, but
1 lose my bet"

PROHIBITIONISTS AFTER
DENT AND BLACKMON

While Mr.. Blackmon and Mr.. Dent voted
against the Webb bill because they be-
lieved, as did President Taft, that 1t was
unconstitutional, the ra-prohibitionists'
1t is said, are seeking vengeance.
Up to the present time no probable op-
ponent has been mentioned in the case OF
either 1t would be difficult matter Tor
a prohibitionst to win either in the Fourth
or the Second. Should Blackmon nave
opposition 1t will be forthcoming, it is
thought, from Talladega, the strongest
prohibition county of the Fourth.
Temple Seibles, solicitor of Montgomery
county, has often been discussed as a
future candidate for Congress. but 1t Is
generally believed that he would not op-
pose Mr.. Dent And he would be only
slightly preferable to Mr.. Dent, 1t is
thought. in the regard of the prohibition
lists.

MOST PROLIFIC CROP
OF ANXIOUS CANDIDATES.

1t is probably needless to state that
the candidate crop is quite prolific. There
are two avowed candidates for the United
States Senate, Congressman Clayton and
congressman dobson. Congressman
Hefin ana Congressman Abercrombie may
take a fling for the latter job For
governor there are five candidates, Mr..
Henderson, Mr.. Wallace, Mr.. Kolb, Mr..
Seed and Mr.. Conner. But for the fact
that 7. e. Kilby got an early start and
sewed up the race for lieutenant gov
ernor, there would probably be half a
dozen entrants for that job characterized
by the fact that it carries no salary
The candidates for minor state offices
are rapidly lining up For secretary of
state there are several entrants, among
the number being Jim Nunnellee of Tus-
caloosa, Judge John Purifoy, present state
treasurer, and William p. Cobb of Tai
ladega. w. II. Wilkinson, an examiner of
public accounts, will run for auditor, and
he will be opposed by Nj. c. Allgood of
Oneonta. DIR. A. A. Person, superin-
tendent of the public schools of Bessemer.
and L. r. Greer, Inspector for the state
convict bureau, are rivals in the contest
for the position of commissioner of agri-
culture. Judge r. l.. Bradley of Vernon,
NJ. A. Graham of Autaugaville and W. L..
Lancaster of Wetumpka will fight the
good fight for the berth of treasurer. W.
j.. Feagin, chief clerk to the superin-
tendent of education, as a candidate for
the latter position, has a clear field, and
will continue to hold his advantage, 1t is
thought highly probable.

Candidates for Senate and
House From Jefferson Are
Slow in Making Their
Announcements

That the prohiibtionists are laying plans
to carry out their threat to gain control
of the next regular session of the legisla-
ture begins to be evident in Jefferson
county, At the present time the field
seems to be clear for b. Asbury Tomp-
son, prohiibtionist, as far as the senate
is concerned. Charles E. Rice and Bor-
den Burr, prohibitionists, who have been
mentioned as probable candidates for the
senate, are mentioned no more. and in
all probability will not be unless they
should determine TO run for the house.
There is one announced candidate for
the house, John T. Rives. He is local
optionist. John Is. Weakley, a strong
man, will probably run for the house. He
is prohiibtlonist. and will receive the
solid vote of the prohibitlonists.
