ROOT PRESIDENTIAL BOOM NO MORE SAYS
 JUDGE O. R. HUNDLEY
Defeat of Revised Constitu- ton in New York Did 1t. Southern Ball Was a
 Brilliant Affair

Judge Oscar R. Hundley returned yes- terday after an absence of two weeks in New York
 Politics in New York is beginning to assume a most interesting status said Judge Hundley, especially with regard to the next presidential campaign Prior to the vote on the new constitution Tor the state of New York, which was re- gently acted upon by tho people of the state, Elihu Root had a decided lead Tor the republican presidential nomination over all other candidates and prospective candidates This new constitution was Mr. Roots especial pride. It was indeed his handiwork, assisted as he was In it's perfection, by the notorious political boss, Barnes. and ex-Attorney General Wickersham. The progressives, led by George w. Perkins, simply laid in walt for that new constitution. Tammany' with the tigers claws duly polished, saw an opportunity to taste political blood. In addition to this the conservative fair minded republicans and democrats of the state of New York saw an opportunity to rebuke the methods that had hereto fore prevailed, under the leadership or the three worthies I have just referred

RESOLUTION ADOPTED


 "Be itresolved, by the board of reve- nue of Jefferson county, That the treas- urer of Jefferson county be, and he is hereby authorized and requested to re- ceive all fine and forfeiture claims ten dered by Walter K. McAdory, John G. Bradley. T. T. Huey, w. B. Copeland. w J. Waldrop, E. L. Higdon, R. w. Huey, E. A. Dudley, c. T. Rainbow & Co.,, and the First National bank of Bir- mingham, Ala.
 He is requested to check and verify said claims, as to their legality and correctness and certify the same to the board of revenue of Jefferson county at his earliest convenience.
 Be it further resolved, That the ten ders of the parties hereinafter set out be and the same are hereby accepted upon the terms therein set forth upon condition that the report of the treas urer shows said claims are valid and legal claims against the fine and for feiture fund of Jefferson county within the purview of the act of the legisla- ture under which said tender Is made.
 The resolutions received the unani- nous vote of the board.
 In reference to the resolution the board has made the following statement
 ''The board of revenue has had before it one of the most important matters that IL ndS ndu tO ucdl WILL Oullii6 ftS lCi bis The last legislature passed an act provid- ing for the payment of all claims against the fine and forfeiture fund of Jefferson county. In section of the bill the board of revenue is required during the term of two years after all of the county off cers that are now on fee system go on the salary system to place half of the fees charges and commissions that are now collected by these officers into the fine and forfeiture fund. and after two years all of the net fees. charges and commissions from all of the officers that have been on fee system into the fine and forfeiture funds to liquidate all claims against said funds. The officers go on salary system in January, 1917, a year hence, at which time under the recent act of the legislature the board would be under the necessity of liquidating these claims.
 ''In section of the bill the board is authorized to purchase all claims rendered it at price not exceeding S5 cents on the dollar to be paid out of the general fund of the county treasury, or it may issue in lieu of the cash payment warrants on the county treasury with interest not ex- ceeding per cent per aflnum and not more than s60,000 per year. After consid- ering both sections of this bill the board decided to take up these claims at SO.a5, thereby saving to the county $15,000 on

HOLDERS OF SCRIP

lOtdi 9ouG,GUc 1
 By this arrangement the board of rev enue will save to the county approx imately $45.000, as the law for the re- demption of scrip is mandatory, and the board would be compelled later to re- deem it dollar for dollar.
 No ona is required to turn in their scrip at S5 cents, it being entirely op- tional with the owner.
 Under the terms of the resolution adopted yesterday the treasurer of Jeff ferson county, Capt. c. B. Rogers, is authorized to receive all fine and for feiture claims rendered by the parties named above. Every one of the claims, in fact, every piece of scrip. will have to be checked up and verified, and their correctness reported to the board of revenue.
 This entails big job for the treas urer, who will not only have to pass on their correctness, but the legality of the various claims as well. The res olutionS adopted by the board were:

ON MODERN PRINCIPLES

The new constitution and bylaws pro- vide for the standardization of the cham Der upon thoroughly modern principles. The revision committed, headed by Sydney J. Bowie, has already provided a tenta- tive constitution which will be submit- ted to the membership as a whole within the next week. This constitution and it's bylaws will differ radically from those under which the old chamber was op- erated and will be so simplifled as to be readily comprehensible to every layman.
 The following letter indicates the spirit that obtains among the banks of the city.
 ''We beg to advise that the Traders National bank subscription of S250 a year is intended to cover the following mem berships: John H. Frye. Otto Mooney. M. IL Sterne. J. G. Farley, w. K Glenn ents. ]. L. Cooper. II. k. Rice and M. l.. Painter"
 Age-Herald members of the Chamber of Commerce are: F. w. Barrett, N. l.. Miller C. M. Stanley, w. IT. Jeffries. John L. McRae. Jack Bethea, A. M. Holt. William Ryan, Charles II. Mandy and Ellis c. Hollums.

ROOT BOOM OVER

"The result was that the new constitu- tion went down under an avalanche or about 5000 votes, and MT. Roots em- bryonic presidential boom has met with crushing collapse. After the election Mr Root left New York city, and could not be prevailed upon to utter word. This eclipse of Mir. Root has brought successfully into the spotlight another New Yorker of great ability and unques- toned integrity, Henry D. Estabrook, a
 great lawyer and a great orator. whose
 speeches throughout the west during the
 past two or three months have been uni
 versally commended by press and pulp
 ic for their conservatism and good
 common sense. It begins to look as if
 MT Estabrool will be the most formid-
 able candidate for the republican nomi-
 nation. He has always been stalwart republican, conscientious believer m d protective tariff and judicial in his con-
 sideration of opinions of others. Other names l heard mentioned, but with not so much enthusiasm, were the names or Justice Hughes. Senator Borah, Sen ator Weeks and Congressman Mann of Illinois.
 Wall street is indeed in high feather in a business way, and does not feel in a hrmor for discussing politics. and therein lies the strength of Woodrow Will son. If the prosperity of the country keeps apace with the present signs, 1 saw them in New York. 1t will be a difficult task for any candidate of any political party to defeat him. The re- publicans and progress1ves poth recog pize this patent fact, and l predict that a republican candidate will be nominated who will receive the united support of both progressives and republicans Colonel Roosevelt, of course, still re- tains his commanding position of im- mense personal popularity. and his name is always mentioned in connection with the political horoscope. At present he seems to be saving wood and saying ncthing.
 Speaking of the social delights of New York, Judge Hundley said; Always to me most charming and delightful. the social season in New York has never been opened with greater gayety, In my opinion, than now The opening of the season of the Metropolitan opera Is generally an index as to what the season is going to be in other amusements. Every seat for the initial performance was sold far in advance, and as high as $75 a seat was refused the day of the
 opening. Of equal importance in so-
 cial events was the opening ball of
 the Southern society at the Hotel As
 tor which I attended the night of
 November II. The throng was bril-
 liant indeed, and there was plethora
 of beautiful women handsomely
 gowned. Dancing began at 9:30 and

WORKERS ARE GOING ID PICK UP ALL THE LOOSE ENDS TODAY
Over 1000 Have Actually Been Signed Up as Char ter Members of Cham
 Der of Commerce

Notwithstanding the rain and wind of yesterday morning, many of the volun- teer workers of the Chamber of Com merce membership campaign assembled at the auditorium of the chamber to push forward the work that has been so well begun.
 Yesterday and today are the ''clean up days of the campaign, and many additions were made yesterday of persons who were not seen during the four days cam- palgn. or who were absent from the city at the time. This morning the special committee will again meet and make it's final round for the time being.
 The actual figures of the campaign com piled and reported yesterday were as follows
 OVER 1000 MEMBERS
 Charter members already signed up for three years, 1921.
 Annual income assured for each year. s25,S25. or 6 total of s76575. This does not include over 150 membership applications that have been promised by telephone. by word of mouth or in writing. but which have not as yet been signed upon the regular application blank provided by the chamber. It is safe to say, there- fore, that at least 1200 members are ai- ready enrolled in the greater Chamber of Commerce.
 It is not the intention of the commit tees to stop the work until at least 1600 members are the list; tbis number of members will give the chamber an annual income of S40,000 Q year. which Is the sum that Is considered necessary for the proper conduct of the organiza- tion along the lines which have been out lined. This sum, it should be said. is about four times as great as the cham Der has ever had at it's disposal, but 1t insures the establishment of division bu- reaus for the transaction of routine work of the organization and for the estab- lishment of the business council which will be a body representative of every industry trade and profession in the whole community.
 It is anticipated that at least goo of the volunteer workers will assemble this morning at the auditorium of the Cham Der of Commerce at 945 o'clock to push forward the work and 1t is fully expected that, the weather permitting, their ef- forts may result in the addition of tho 400 new charter members that are counted upon. They will reassemble at the Tut Wiler for luncheon.
