GOVERNORS WILL BE
INVITED TO DINNER
Newspaper Club Banquet to
Be All-Southern in
It's Scope

The members of the invitation commit
tee of the Birmingham Newspaper club,
at meeting yesterday afternoon, passed
a resolution as a result of which all gov
ernors of southern states will be invited
to attend the annual dinner of the club,
ON the evening of March 10. 1913
1t is considered probable that the gov

attend. Governor Brown of Georgia,
Governor Gilchrist of Florida, Governor
Brewer of Mississippi and Governor
Hooper OF Tennessee are expected to be
with the club on the night of its inaugu-
ration dinner. Governor O'Neal will. of
course, be present.

astic in their plans, and that the affair.
at which the inauguration OF the first
democratic President in 20 years and the
first southern President since the war
will be celebrated, will be all southern
In It's scope is almost certain. AS Con-
gress will have adjourned by the date
of the dinner, it is reasonably certain
that Alabama senator's and congressman
will be on hand, and that either Mr..
Wilson. Mr.. Marshall, Mr.. Bryan or Mr..
Clark will attend.
The interest of the newspaper men is
shared by the business men of the state.
II seems certain that there will be a
great gathering of celebrities, candidates
for state office, applicants for federal
positions, men of the business and fnan-
cial world
A number of the editors of newspapers
in other states will be invited and it is
thought that Henry Watterson. Clark

Today to Investigate
Confessions

New York, February 5.--As a result
of further disclosures in the police graf
situation made to the district attorney
today by Eugene Fox, the policeman
who has confessed to 1evying tribute
as collector for superior officers. it was
decided with the consent of Supreme
Court Justice Goff to hasten the inves-
tigation of the extraordinary grand
jury by having that body convene to-
morrow instead of next Monday.
District Attorney Whitman conferred
with Justice Goff after Fox and a rela-
tive had been questioned all after
noon and it was agreed to subpoena a
police inspector, mentioned by Fox, to
appear as a witness before the grand
jury tomorrow. A direct trail to the
much talked of men higher up in the
police department is thought now to
have been struck by the prosecutor.
