Captain Crook, it Is con- sidered probable that the new Besse- mer postmaster will be named in the near future.
 Those considered in the light of ap- plieants are Alex Little, Tom Hines. Dan Houston. Lacy Edmundson and pr. Lacy. Four of the five supported Mir Underwood. It Is understood that Dr. Lacy did not vote for Underwood and did not vote for Hohson The strongest candidate Is said to be Mir Houston.
 The race is spirited and the interest has spread to Birmingham. Each of the candidates has local support and strong effort is being made by each to acquire the support of the Under wood county organization.

 LONG F POSSIBLE
Man Held as Absconding Baltimore Bank Cashier Declines to Talk to
 Local Officers

Absolutely refusing to talk to detectives
 was the attitude of l.. H. Long yes terday at the city jail. Long is sus-
 pected by Sergeant of petectives sydney
 Darnell of being John R. Uhler, the miss
 ing paying teller of the Park bank of
 Baltimore, Md, who disappeared last Au-
 gust with Sls,S55 of the bank funds. Long
 was arrested Friday nisht by Detectives
 Pittman and Crensh~w on charges Of
 obtaining money under false pretenses. due to an alleged scheme of selling fake insurance policies.
 Sergeant Darnell was in receipt of tele-
 grams yesterday from Baltimore stat ing that Marshal Thomas Farnan was sending detective to this city at once
 to identiy Long as Uhler. telegram was also received from the offices of the United States Fidelity company that an attorney of the surety company was already on his way to Birmingham to identify the suspect.
 From the numerous teegrams received from Baltimore it is ascertained that the arrest of Uhler Is regarced as important, Advices from the Maryland city are to the effect that Uhler was a highly re-
 spected citizen before his dedication be- came known and was married and had two children. It is also stated that Uhler lost all his money in speculation and that when he left Baltimore he wes penniless and the rent on his kat was unpaid.
 He deserted his wife and children, it is alleged, and from the time he disap- peared the Baltimore police lost all track
 of him until the suspect was arrested
 Friday night.
 On the insurance defrauding charges ,, against Long warrants were sworn out yesterday by Detectives Pittman and Crenshaw and more warrants will be sworn out by Huey and Hoover, the
 local managers of the Continental Cas- ualty company of Chicago, H.. on Mon day morning.
 The local detectives stated that even if
 Long is not John R. Uhier of Baltimore they have enough charges against him locally to hold him indefinitely If the suspect is identified as Uhler. Sergeant Darnell states that all the local charges will be noll pressed and the prisoner
 turned over to the Baltimore authorities
 Developments in the case are awaited with interest.
