SEED REFUSES TO
TALK ON ACTION OF
STATE COMMITTEE
Friends Think Majority Plan Will Be
Is of Advantage-Comer Men
in Tuscaloosa Are
Confident

Tuscaloosa, January s-(SpeciaL) al
ter d. Seed, lieutenant governor and cam
ddate for governor was at his home
here toeay when informed of the action of
the state democratic committee in adopt
ing majority plan for the coming pri-
mary. Mr.. Seed declined to discuss the
action of the committee. lie stated that
he hao asked no one to vote for or against
any proposition which was to come before
the committee. and that lie had taken alb
solutely no part in the plans of the body.
While he declined to state whether he
was pleased with the action. friends OF
Mr.. Seed here consider that the majority
plan will be to his ADVANTAGE. His friends
here generally do not expect him to lead
Ia the first primary, thinking very gem
orally that he will run second, with Conner
les ding. Therefore the action of the COM
mittee is looked upon as not at all UNI
favorable to the chances of Seed.
The Conner men, however. contend that
this action, which they claim was for the
sole purpose of trying to defeat Conner
Will result in adding enough strength to
his candidacy to make him win in the
first primary.

on the part of the fire department.
No further light has been spread on
the cause OF the fire but it is still thought
that It was started by a dropped match
or cigar in the basement OF the build

mace and a certain amount of combustibe
material is always in the basement and
this is the only cause that can be as
signed for the fire.
It is probable that the large courtroom,
which was the worst damaged part of the
building. will be rebuilt on an entirely
new plan. The principal damage was

BY The President

To diplomat who complimented him
upon his sangfroid, President Wilson
replied, with his dry smile, that he
tried to initiate the grave digger. OF
course, this meant a story, and the
President told it.
A certain grave-digger, he explained,
had the habit of visiting the cemetery
every night about midnight to see that
all was going well. Knowing of this
habit, some boys decided to play trick
upon him. They dug a trench in a dark
spot which their prospective victim al
ways crossed, and one of them, dressed
in sheet, hid behind tree At mid
night the grave-digger duly appeared,
and as duly fell into the trench.
The boy in the sheet at once stepped
forth and said in hollow tones:
''What are you doing in my grave?'
''What are you doing out of it?'' the
grave-digger replied calmly. Elk.
