VILLA PROMISES ID UPHOLD GUTIERREZ Peace Convention Adjourns to Inform Carranza
 of Action

Washington. November s.-General Villa has pledged allegiance to Eulalio Gutierrez, who was selected as provis- ional President of Mexico at the Aguas Caiientes convention. according to state department reports today
 The convention adjourned late last night on receipt of a report of the special com mittee sent to the capital to inform Car ranza fthe action of the convention. Suggestions that 1t re-assemble imme- diately in Mexico City were met with ex- pressions of apprehension by many del- egates. who feared arrest If Carranza accepts the decision of the convention. however, the delegates plan to assemble in the capital and administer the oath of office to Gutierrez.
 Government officials had no confirma- ton of the report that Carranza had de- fled the convention, but credited 1t be- cause of previous indications that he would do so. The Zapatista delegates were reported to have expressed themselves satisfied with the choice of Guitterrez.
 The state department tonight gave out the following memorandum about Gull terrez, based on official reports:
 Gen. Eulalia Gutierrez is native of Conception Del Orc, in the state of Zaca- tecas. He was connected with the Ma 6ero revolution before joining in the present disturbance. Under Madero he was attached to the stan of Gov. Raphael Cepeda of San Luis Potosi He voluntarily resigned to return to his pri- vate mining business in Conception.
 After the overthrow of Madero, Gutter reg revolted against Huerta. He was given the rank of general and confined his activities to the district between Sal tillo and San Luis Potosl.

WILD
 WITH ENTHUSIASM
 OVER COMING GAME

University, November 3.-(Speclal. J. Coach Graves Is carefully nursing his men along for the game with sewanee now are the daily fair of the Crimson. The whole team came through the game with Tulane in fine shape and is as a whole in better condition than at any time this season.
 That Alabama authorities are expect ing hard battle with sewanee goes without saying. The defeat of the Moun- tain Tigers last Saturday is considered no criterion of their strength here and every effort Is being made to have the Crimson machine primed for a gruelling battle.
 This week Graves has put the men through the stiffest workouts of the sea- son, although he is taking care to ward off possible injuries. Long signal drills are in order every afternoon, while numerous new formations which will be used against Sewanee are being tried out daily.
 As a whole the Crimson machine is in excellent shape to meet the Tigers. Team work, which has been somewhat lack ing this season, has developed rapidly during the past two weeks and Birming- ham fandom are likely to witness a vast ly changed eleven from the one that de- feated Tech there some weeks ago. The team is working together wonderfully and Is exhibiting a spirit and enthusiasm which foretels a gory battle Saturday regardless of outcome.
 Enthusiasm Is running high at the uni- versity. Practically every student in col- lege will be on hand to witness the game. special train will be run from Tusca- loosa Saturday morning. The team is ex- pected to leave Friday afternoon. Ala

Graves Busy
 University, November s.-(Special.) Coach Graves Is busy planning his at- tack on the Sewanee Tigers, scheduled for next Saturday. at Redwood park Secret practice Is the order of the day, and no one is admitted to field, even students being barred. It Is certain that Graves and Hannon will have a some- what different system of play to spring on the Purple squad when the big bat tie comes off While the dope seems in favor of the Crimson on account of their victory over the Yellowjac ackets, who, in turn, trounced Sewanee, still Heisman's crew has come back in a re- markable way since it's defeat, and the Alabama squad realizes that it will only be after the hardest kind of battle that the Thin Red Line'' can triumph. And they are not going to take any chances of missing this opportunity to settle up some old, but still ranking scores with Sewanee. This seems to be the best chance that Alabama has had in many years except in 1911, when Gillem's toe beat her on a muddy field that pre- vented any other kind of scoring But the advantage In this line is now with Alabama for there Is possibly no better kicker in the south than VandeGraaff.
 Excitement among students and faculty alike here is most intense. There will be @ big mass meeting tonight, and Mike Sollie will endeavor to arouse the stu dents to such a pitch of enthusiasm as has never before been witnessed at the university, Plans as to the big special train to the game will be discussed. Pres- ioent Denny has granted a holiday and practically the entire student body will be on hand when the whistle blows to cheer the Crimson to victory over the erstwhile triumphant Purple.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-

from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where it often remains to
irritate and inflame, causing a burn

an irritation at the neck of the blad

three times during the night. The

Bladder weakness. most folks call
IL, because they can't control urina-

and sometimes very painful. this Is
really one Of the most simple all
ments to overcome Get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from your phar-
macist and take a tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast, con-
tinue this for two or three days. This
