DR.. DENNY IS CLOSE
FRIEND OF WILSON
Has Successfully Concealed
That Fact for Several
Months

Although George II. Denny, president
of the University of Alabama. is fond
of Woodrow Wilson, President of the
up to the present time and with a deal
of success to keep the fact that he is
probably closer than any other Ala
bamian to the nations chief executive
strictly on the 20. t.
DR.. Denny was in Birmingham yes
terday. In an unguarded moment he
mentioned the fact that at one time
he was intimately associated with
woodrow Wilson for period of seven
as trustees of the Carnegie institute
funds.
II have not advertised this fact,
stated Dr. Denny, for the reason that
1 would have .been called upon to speak
kind word for each member of the
rather healthy list of candidates clam
oring for public office. Up to the pres
ent time I have succeeded. Only one
man. having become aware of my
friendship for Wilson has asked me to
speak a word with the President in his
interest
1t Is understood that for this single
candidate DR.. Denny did not speak AT
any rate he holds a record 1t Is prob
able, in that he is the only man who
possesses as much as speaking ac-
quaintance with the President who has
not spread that fact with a deal OF
bombastic gusto from one section OF
the state to the other.

JOHNSTON ASKED TO
EXPLAIN TENNESSEE
RIVER SITUATION
HObsOn Has Said 1t Would
Flow Past Birmingham
But for the "Old
Time Politicians

Letters have been forwarded to Senator
Johnston in regard to the charge of Cap
tain Hobson, candidate for the Senate, to
the effect that it is due to the old time
politician that the Tennessee river does
rot flow by Birmingham
In the letters the senator is asked con-
cerning the practicability of turning the
trend of the Tennessee in that it might
touch the Magic City, and solve the prob
lem of water routes which has long been
civic drawback in its present unsolved
condition.
1t is understood that the senator is asked
to have government engineers report ON
the practicabilty, what it would cost the
government to force the Tennessee from
its natural channel up hill to the site on
which Birmingham ieposes, not only what
1t would cost, but how long the work,
were 1t to BE undertaken. would endure,
and other matters of kindred nature.
AS is remembered at the Bijou theatre
some time ago, Hobson insisted that the
Tennessee should be made to flow by Biz.
mingham, and that this end would already
have obtained but for the facs that Ala
bama is represented by "old time poll
ticians. Siuce Then the citizens have
given the proposition serious consdera-
ton. and have written to Senator John
ton, as is explained, to furnish authentic
information as to why this trick has never
been turned
The answer of the senator is awaited
with a great deal of interest. for it begins
to appear that this and other charges of
Hobson will figure materially IN the sem
atorial campaign.

Lane is considering going either to thc

or to the mountains of North Carolina
He states that ne might go to ST. Louis

urging him to leave as soon as possible, as
the judge has tcen indisposed for the

the city II think it's perfectly ridicu-
lous," he said yesterday. Il don't know
OF such an ordinance in any other city,
The idea was suggested day or two
ego when the present traffic ordinance
was under discussion. 1t was stated that
practically every professional operator OF
vehicle of any kind in the city was re-
quired to take an Examination and secure
Q license except the men who operate
the street cars over the streets of the city.
Chauffeurs, draynen, scao drivers. steam
engineers, and many other are not re-
quired to secure license. 1t is probable
the matter will be brought before the COM
mission in the near future, it is claimed.

AN investigation such as the one in

from the domination of the vested inter-

The statements of former Governor
