MARSHALL DECLARES WILSON A CANDIDATE Vice President Says Incum- bent Will Seek Second
 Presidential Term

Washington September "A published statement by Vice President Marshall declaring that President Wilson should run for reelection in 1916, and would be the unanimous choice of his party, aroused wide interest in congressional cir cles today. but White House officials re- fused to make any comment. In demo- cratic circles. however, it is taken for granted the President will be candidate. although 1t was stated that so far as known he has not given the question any personal attention.
 The renomination of several senators and representatives who have supported the President on various questions has encouraged democratic campaign mana gers. In this connection particular atten- tion was paid today to the nomination of Representative Hardwick for senator from Georgia. The praise of the Presi- dents Mexican policy fin several demo- cratic state platforms recently also has pleased the Presidents adherents.
 The Vice Presidents statement Is ,iis- cussion of the democratic outlook.

TUSCALOOSA HOPES F0RHARDAWAY PLAN
Completion of River Work Deemed of Greatest I'm
 portance by Moody

Tuscaloosa Is impatiently awaiting action by Congress in regard to the request of Contractor Hardaway that he be permitted to complete lock IT in the Warrior river, according to a statement made in Birmingham yester- day by Washington Moody a well known young attorney.
 "The completion of this work means a great deal to Tuscaloosa" added MT. Moody. "and it is our hope that Con gress will permit MT. Hardaway to go ahead His proposition, as we see it, is fair enough. He offers to complete the work at his own expense and trust to a future appropriation by Congress for his reimbursement. The amount in- volved Is about S350,000. Under the terms. should no future appropriation be forthcoming MT. Hardaway would be the loser.
 "fi the river work Is completed this fall by the above or some other ar range ment, on January l, barge line will begin operating on the Warrior on regular schedule, one barge leav- ing and another arriving at Tuscaloosa every morning. This service will en- nance transportation by water out of the Birmingham district and will result in furnishing cheaper coal to all ports Of the world"

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Value of Love
Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 For years many have thought that a wiser way could be foundf for the set- tlement of all disputes among the na- tions of the earth than the shedding of blood. This belief has been sad and grievous disappointment There is but one passion that controls, consoles and restores. and that is lose. Have we that passion: It does not seem so. It does not appear that we are so much as civil ized. We make claims that great part of the universe is not civilized, but also Christianized. In this time of sorrow and distress can we claim fore for our civil ization than thin coat of veneering of the uoter man, and where shall we look for the love That we profess to have for the human race. While the nations were preparing for war, how much bet ter 1t would have been if they had been talking peace and teaching the people the highest and best ideals of life and social justice. soms of the rules who are engaged in this war when 1t Is ended will find their countries desolate. Like the locust. wherever their mighty armies go they will leave nothing behind them. Why this fearful carnage and devasta- tion? Was 1t ambition for power and greed? confess do not know the cause but am inclined to believe that thess things had something to do with bringing 1t about.
 The American people are at peace with all mankind. and we have a man to ad- wise and lead us who Is calm. patient and wise. Just word to the speculators. They are not patriots, and. therefore. do not deserve the blessings and protection of our nation. If I were an autocrat would teach them a lesson by stopping their activities in raising the prices of food and other things. and would en- deavor to instill within them the good of having humane instincts everyone of them ought to be ashamed of them- selves ].

LONDON DISCOUNT SITUATION EASIER
Bankers Reported Buying American Bills-Exchange
 Shows Improvement

New York. September 1.-The most in- teresting financial development of today as seen from this apgle was the greater ease reported in the London discount sit Uation. Despite the extension of tho Brit ish moratorium some London bankers were reported to be buying American bills, of which the supply was small. however. because of the supposed com- pletion of purchases in connection with initial New York city payments at Lon don and Paris.
 Exchange was easier, both sales and demand beins from Adia cent under yes terday's highest rates. These slight de- clines were ascribed to the passing Of September 1. maturities sight drafts or Paris Were a fraction a5ove yesterday, but again the quotation was without actual significance
 No changes of importance occurred in the local money market bids of per cent were made for time loans, put the supply of cash was limited. It was regarded as noteworthy that interior banks are showing an increasing disposition to hold their reserves here intact. Recent ac- tion of some of these institutions, espe- cially those which called loans early in August. has been the subject of some criticism.
 Would Reopen Bourse Cables from Berlin, suggesting the open ing of the bourse for regular business in a limited way, lacked confirmation among local bankers with influential German connections. The opinion prevailed that any financial operations that may be at- tempted in Berlin at this time would be on a strictly cash basis
 Regarding the railroad situation the ton mage outlook appears to be more favor amle so far as it has to do with tho grain carrying roads, Tonnage at lead ing industrial centers has decreased in marked manner, however, and today's re- view of the steel industry indicates any benefits developing from the war are likely to come slowly.
 The Pennsylvania, 1t was unofficially stated, purposes making further reduce ton in it's passenger service. beginning the middle of the current month and other leading lines are expected to fol- low it's example.
 As indicating the caution now shown by substantial interests. one of the largest local trust companies omitted the decara- ton of it's 'extra" quarterly dividend while subsidiary of the American To- bacco company distributed some of it's stock holdings in another company to it's common shareholders in lieu of a cash dividend.

Coffee Market

New York. September 2.-So far as could be learned in coffee trade circles here today, importers still are finding 1t diff ficult to arrange for financing fresh pur- chases of coffee in Brazil. and business in the cost and freight market Is said to be far from normal. The visible sup ply of the United States was reduced by about 26o,000 bags during the month of August, and approximations are ex- pressed in some circles that the supply of the better grades of Santos coffee will become scarce before the usual business with Brazil is possible.
 At the same time no very active de- mand was reported in the local spot mar ket and prices were unchanged with Rio Ts quoted at 77sc and Santos Is 12Mc. while cost and freight uff7;S from Brazil are reported well under Armal parity with these figures. The Rio market was 100 refs lower on fs. Receipts at the two Brazilian ports, 1s,000; Jundiahy re- ceipts, 10000.

After a long and bitter struggle in
which many of the leaders of the
Democratic Party held out to the
end against the attitude of President
Wilson towards the repeal of the
clause in the Panama Canal law
giving to American coastwise YES
sells free use of the Canal, the House
OF Representatives Tuesday by a
majority Of SO passed the Sims bill
for the repeal.
Since the beginning the result
was a. certain a. anything could be,
the only question being that Of ma
jorities.
The opposition to the measure
was led by Representative Under
wood and Speaker Clark, but only
80 Democrats could they muster
with them. The law as it stands
violates q most solemn treaty made
years ago with Great Britain and
go Democrats voted with the Pres
ident TO keep the Nations word.
The measure now goes to the SEN
ate where the President will again
be vindicated.
In this, be with his party will
win the praise and commendation Of
the nations of the world.
