Major Varnedoe j. f. Stapler and
J. = Coffee are the applicants most
prominently mentioned in connection
With the appointment. though there
are a number Of others who may he
considered in the running.
1t was generally considered that the
appointment would rest entirely on
the recommendation Of Hon. J. r.
Walker. Congressman from the Elev-
enth District, but late dispatches from
Washington Indicate that the death Of
Senator Bacon possibly has compli-
Gated matters somewhat, and that the
recommendation for the appointment
may be put up to Senator w. s. West
as soon as he takes the oath OF office.

GRAMBS ARRANGING
 MUSIC FOR EASTER
Church of Advent Will Have an Elaborate
 Programme

For several years past the Easter morn ing services at the Church of the Ad- vent have been unsteady brilliant by the use of an orchestra as an accompani- ment to a well drilled choir. It is looked forward to annually by the parishoners oof the church as well as by the public generally who enjoy the elaborate fes- tival services on the Resurrection morn. Being equipped with the knowledge of tbe possibilities of and scope of the or chestral instruments, Prof. Fred l.. Grambs. choir director of the Advent, has made use of them in his services as an accompaniment to the voices. He is busily at work arranging a festival pro- gramme on an elaborate scale and has engaged the Ca1man orchestra, with a possibility of the harp In addition. for the approaching Easter services. The choir will be augmented to 40 voices. The principal feature will be the Ire. Deum," !" the one selected for the occasion being the "Te Deum in A Flat" by Gilchrist As an introduction the Hallelujah chorus will be rendered.
 According to Professor Grambs, there is much laborious work connected with a festival service of this kind. In lithur- gical churches, each note rendered by the voice must needs be distributed in chord form to the different instruments, according to their respective possibilities and scope. All instruments not being in the same pitch, transposition is much in use for arranging the orchestral parts.
 The first service of this kind rendered in Birmingham was, as many of the old CT residents of the city will recall, on Faster Sunday, 1885, at St. Paul's Cath olo church, with the Rev Father Brown as the celebrant with the mass Willard B in G major. It was scored, arranged and directed by Professor Grambs, then di- rector of the orchestra of O'Brien's opera house. which played the mass. The vocal solosts were Miss Ethel Houston, Mrs Nellie Cobbs Phillips and Mrs. Leonard Brooks. Professor Grambs was the first director of services of this kind where the orchestra is brought into use.

CAREER CLAIMS 90 PER CENT FOR CONFER
 IN FIRST PRIMARY
State Manager Says Former Governor Will Poll Safe Majority in 5S Coun-
 ties of State


 Col. Alex M. Garber, state campaign manager for ex-Governor B. B. Conner. yesterday predicted that Governor Conner will poll over Go per cent of the total vote cast in the primary of April 6. He claims the former governor will receive a majority in 5S counties. Colonel Gar ber's formal statement reads as follows:
 Easing the estimate upon conservative reports from every county in the state received at state headquarters here and at branch headquarters at Montgomery. in charge of General Bibb Graves, We are justified in claiming that Governor Conner will receive over 60 per cent of the total vote to be boiled in the state demo- cratic primary on April 6.
 "A careful analysis of the reports re- ceived from county and beat managers indicates that Governor Conner will re- ceive a substantial majority in 49 counties of the state. The reports also show that he will poll safe majority in nine of the remaining counties and will probably receive handsome plurality in practical- ly all of the other nine counties.
 Governor Corners strength is not con- fined to any particular section. The gulf counties, the wiregrass, central Alabama, often designated as the Black Belt the Tennessee valley and the hill counties, as well as the mineral districts, will be militant factors contributing to his ma jority. The Conner vote represents the various classes of our citizens and comes from the farming and agricultural sec tions and from the centers of population where the industrial. commercial and manufacturing elements are largely pre- dominant"

STATEMENT MADE
 BY SHERIFF HOOD

T was in my cffice Friday when a telephone message came to me that Theodore Lacy wanted to see me- I could not imagine what he wanted but presumed that he desired to complain about his quarters in the jail, or, per haps, wanted some privilege of which he is now deprived.
 When l went into his cell he hand ed me the paper on which was written the statement printed in the Journal Friday.
 since Theodore Lacy has been in jail I have not spoken until this last matter came up a cozen words to him, and our conversation on this latter occasion was very brief, because, when attempted to draw him hto con- versation he said quietly but firmly: T don't want to say anything for the public but what l have written in that paper

For the reason that he has been my prisoner. have avoided even the appearance of such intent by keeping entirely away from nim that eveh my presence at any time might suggest coercion.
 T havo only called at the cell of Theodore Lacy twice during his con- finement In jail. I called then, on each occasion, at the request of Theodore Lacy. On each occasion he had state ment to give out, and the statements were printed in the order in which they were given to me-
 T nave no personal interest or feel ing in this matter. The story was given to n q by Theodore Lacy to print as a matter of news. If he had given the same story to any Journal re- porter about the sheriff of Montgom- cry county, unde:- like conditions, the story would have been published in the Journal just as tho Journal printed the report of Inspector Oates on the al- legged conditions sn the county Jail and the grand jury reports criticizing the sheriff" A
