AT the city jail the young man be-

Otto Marx, Upon Returns,
Thinks Location Ideal for

Mark-Many Acceptances Coming
in Before Initiation Fee Is
Increased November |

Otto Marx. who has Travelled a great
deal. and who recently returned home
from Europe, and who has assisted in the
construction OF several skyscrapers, says
that the jefferson County Savings Bank
building is one of the greatest ui1dings
ever erected in this country, and has few
equals anywhere. Mr.. Marx was shown
over the building yesterday by William C..
Weston. architect, and the former came
from the Press club quarters delighted
with the whole building and enthusiastic
over the quarters leased by the Newspaper
club.
In accepting his invitation to become an
associate member of the press club, Mr.
Marx said:
Il am delighted to become an associate
member of the Newspaper club The To-
cation is easily the best that can be found
in this country. The quarters are in one
of the most beautiful buildings ever erect
ed in America. l have never seen such
an elegant skyscraper Every possible
convenience has been made a part of the
building, while as for the club quarters
on the top, they are indescrbably ideal
There is no reason in the world why that
club should not be leading feature of
the city, and one equalled by few such
organizations in the United. States
with the personnel of members already
secured with the limited membership and
the other attractions in store for the mem
bers there is sure to be an, unusually
warm spot for that club in the hearts of
Birmingham people"
From day to day prominent members Of
the press club are being shown over the
quarters in the jefferson County Bank
building, and every one has been enthus-
iastic. The opinion expressed by Mr..
Marx seems to be the general conclusion
OF everyone shown the top of that build

ers by the latter part of next month. 1t is
stated that the decorators will desirs
plenty of time to complete their work be-
fore the club can be furnished. 1t is as
stirred that the formal opening will take
place before Christmas.
The fact that the list will be closed No.
vember / at the present initiation fee has
caused great many well known citizens
who have neglected to reply to send in
their acceptances. The fact that the fee
will be increased to $50 caused one promi-
nent citizen in New York to wire here
yesterday having his secretary cover the
initiation fee. In addition to the increased
fee in force November 1, it is to be borne
in mind that all invitations issued now
are cancelled on and after that date, and
new invitations will have to be secured
before any name is acted upon.
The aeeeptances received yesterday
passed the 20 mark, making the grand
total of associate members in excess of

STATEMENT ISSUED
BY MRS. HUNDLEY
Says Letter Regarding Part
in Underwood Parade Has
Been Misconstrued

That the Equal Suffrage association
of Birmingham is non-partisan and that
they are taking no position whatever
in the senatorial race. is the statement
of Mrs. Oscar IIundley. president of
the local association. sbe also stated
that the letter sent to the Board OF
Trade from the Equal Suffrage asso.
citation in reference to the Underwood
parade had been wilfully misconstrued.
Speaking upon this subject last evening
after the adjournment of the executive
board, Mrs. Hundley said:
u tried in the letter sent to the
Board of Trade to make plain the fact
that the Equal Suffrage association,
being non-partisan, is taking no part
in the remotest way in the senatorial
contest and desired to take no ac-
tion which might be so construed At
the same time | attempted to EXPRESS
in few words our pride in Mr.. I'm
derwood for his great service to our
state and country"
''Have you ever had an expression
from Mr.. Underwood relative to his
views on Womans suffrage?" was
asked Mrs. Hundley.
Yes replied Mrs. Hundley I'm a
recent letter to a member of the state
executive board he stated L am not
averse to woman's suffrage The state
meht IN the Birmingham Ledger this
evening in speaking of our action that
they are not politically opposed to
Captain Hobson' seems in spite of the
frank and positive statement of our
non-partisan position in the matter. to
place us in the attitude of being the
polltical adherents of Captain Hobson
and is entirely gratuitous and is not
justified either by the context or spirit
of my letter"
The matter of the Birmingham EQUAL
Suffrage association accepting the in
Vltation to participate in the Under
wood parade was taken up at a meet
ing OF the executive board of the as
soelation at which Mrs. Hundley pre-
sided. The invitation was declined on
the ground that the association was
non partisan and the following letter
sent to the Board of Trade:
Repiying to the invitation extended
Dy the birmingham Board of Trade TO
the Birmingham Equal Suffrage asso-
clation to Join in the demonstration to
non. oscar w. Underwood upon his
noine- coming, l beg to say that the
birmingham Equal Suffrage association
wishes to recognize with pride Mr.. Un
derwood's great service to our state
ana country. However. we feel that the
parade as planned Will consist largely
or democratic voters whose main in
terest is In Mr., Underwood's senatorial
campaign, despite your effort TO avoid
political Significance.
This being the case and owing to
the fact that the Birmingham EQUAL
Suffrage association Is a bipartisan
body, most members of which are nor
voters, yet we feel that we must fore
go the pleasure 1t would give us to pay
n Afe- q l.
Mr.. Underwood. Very truly yours,
"BOSSIE O'BRIEN HUNDLEY.
President of Birmingham Equal Suf
frage Association"

- HOWDNOU' WRITE g
Va LOVE'LETTER ?assMD
QUEEN MARY TO KING WILLIAM

The most genuinely womanly letters
ever written by woman of royal blood
are the letters of Queen Mary II of Eng
land to her husband and joint sovereign
with her, William III. She wrote in as
simple and as housewifely a strain as If
she We're the wife of a citizen of the sim
plest state in all England. 1t is easy to
see who held the reins of government
under the transient pretence of their joint
sovereignty. She wrote him: IF l do
something you don't like, It's my misfor-
tune, not my fault; for | love you more
than my own life, and desire only to
please you
When William was coming home from
possible l may come and meet you on
the road, either where you dine or any
where else; for | do so long to see you
that l am sure had you as much wish to
see your poor wife again, you would pro-
pose it; but do as you please. l can say
no more but that | love you so much my
love cannot increase, else I am sure 1t
would. .
Here are specimens of the letters that
the throne during his. campaign in Ire
land, the first very near the date of the
Battle of. the Boyne:.. ........... g
L can only tell you that /. am so little
afraid that I begin to fear / have not
sense enough TO apprehend the danger:
for whether it threatens Ireland or this
place CWhitehalD to me it much at one
as to fear; for as much a coward as YOU
think me, [ fear more for your dear per.
son than my poor carcass I know who
is most necessary in the world What
| fear most at present is not hearing
from you. Love me, whatever happens
and be assured l am ever entirely yours
till death"
The date Of this letter was July 9 1890.
About three weeks later she wrote as fol-
lows from the same place:
g EVERY hour makes me more patient
TO hear from you, and everything [ hea
stir think brings me letter. I shall
not go about to excuse myself. kno-v

Here are few extracts from the letter
that Mary wrote to William when she
was impatiently awaiting his return from
his Irish campaign and was hurrying for
ward the repairs upon the palace at Ken
sington, which she was fitting up and
making ready for his return:
Unless I could express the joy / had
at the thoughts Of your coming, 1t will
be In vain that l undertake telling you
of the disappointment it is to me that

William was the of William IL,
Prince of Orange, and was born on No
vember 4, 1850. Mary was the eldest
daughter of James, Duke of York after
ward King James II. They were mar
ried in November, 1917. and were pro-
claimed joint sovereigns of England on
February 13, 1859.
The marriage, which turned out to be
a happy one, was Objectionable in the
start to Mary. who is said to have wept
the whole day in which it was announced
that such marriage had been arranged
for her. On the day after the wedding
William presented his bride with "mor-
gengabe" of jewels valued at 100000
Mary died on December 2S, 1894, of a vir-
ulent attack OF smallpox, and it is said
that the Kings grief was most vehe-
ment. 1t was Mary's fate in life to
be misinterpreted, and her affection for
William thus became the only human
anchorage. To her husband she was al
ways absolutely loyal. William survived
Mary eight years, dying on March 8, 1902.

Attended to Raforehand.

When Judge Stewart Of Vermont
presided at the trial of negro charg-
ed with the murder Of another of his
race he admitted afterward to friends
that he had serious doubts of the pris-
oner's guilt until he began to pro-
nOunce sentence. The negro had
pleaded not guilty and repeatedly on
being questioned had asserted with
much emphasis, Il didn't do itr' The
evidence was not convincing. and the
judge was surprised when the jury
brought in verdict of guilty His
doubts vanished when. after reminding
the negro that he had been duly tried
by jury of twelve men. ETC.. he said:
1T Is my duty to warn you that your
days on earth are numbered. and it
behooyes You to avail yourself of the
little remnant Of time allotted to you
to make your peace with God"
Just there the negro broke in with
the exclamation. .'Ah done dat al
