known young attorneys of Alabama,
is in the race for Congress from the
new Ninth district consisting of JEFF
ferson county.
A definite announcement to this eff
feet was made by Mr.. Judge yesterday.
1t has been generally known, as
was reported in The Age Herald some
weeks ago, that Mr.. Judge would
probably make the race for congress-
man against George Huddleston, who

early date, Mr.. Judge threw his hat
in the ring" and prepared to launch
an active campaign.
When the state was redistricted and
jefferson county was formed into a
district by itself, it was known that
Mr. Huddleston would have opposition.

logical opponent. The fact that Mr..

TRIBUTE IN NORFOLK

similar tribute was paid the Griffith
spectacle when the company which is to
present it here opened its tour in Nor
folk in the early autumn. Mrs. Frank
Anthony Wake, president of the Hope
Maury chapter, United Daughters of the
Confederacy, of that city, wrote the fol-
lowing letter to the Norfolk Ledger-Dis-
patch:
g The Birth of Nation is wonderful.
Ku-Klux Khan! What they suffered lost
and bravedl This was a band of knights
sent to make things work out as it was
desired and none but these men could
have accomplished it. There is much that
makes ones heart ache; much that brings
pleasure and happiness; tears and sun
shine are we'll coupled. The Birth of a
Nation is a revelation and history car
ried OUT
In Los Angeles the members of the
John H. Reagan chapter, United Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy adopted this res
olution and forwarded it to Mr.. Griffith
through their acting president, Isabella
o. J. Davis.
I'm indorsing the splendid production of
The Birth of Nation the John H. Rea-
gan chapter, United Daughters of the
Confederacy, feel a great privilege. The
wrongs of history righted, the presenta-
ton of that side of the question never
known to northerners and the wonderful
spectacle itself is an educational and ar
tistic treat to the entire union"

Anti-Saloon League Does
Not Seek Nationwide
Plank at Either
Convention
CAUCUS is PLANNED
FOR COMING WEEK
Conservative Members Would Like to
See PrOhibitiOnists Go to C0nven-
ton, But Without Insisting
on Formal Declaration

There will be no effort made by the
Anti-Saloon League of Alabama to have
a delegation sent from this state to the
next democratic nationai convention
pledged to stand for nationwide pro-
hibition plank in the party platform. This
was the declaration of the Rev. ]. c.
Persinger, superintendent of the Alabama
Anti-Saloon league, last night. Mr.. Per-
singer declared that the national anti
saloon league had placed itself on record
as looking with ill favor upon any effort
to have a nationwide prohibition plank
in the platform of either of the great
parties in the campaign next year.
NJ Persinger admitted. however, that
the Alabama organization would look with
especial favor upon all delegates who
were favorable to national prohibition. In
other words, while the anti saloonists will
not try to force the issue in party plat
forms, they favor only nation-widers as
delegates. The report that a meeting OF
the Alabama Anti-Sa1oon league would
teke place in Birmingham to outline plans
for the coming campaign and to make
out slate for convention delegates was
denied by Mr.. Persinger. He stated that
the last meeting of the league officials
was held November 3d. and none had been
called for the immediate future

that certain Italians. supposed to be
connected with the Malta have been re-

the Italian colony without any trou-

was true they would neither deny nor
affirm it.
The police records for escaped crimi-

getting line on certain Italians under
suspicion. The entire department is ac-
tive in the case under the general
direction of Chief OF Detectives Shirley.
Precautions for the safety of Buzza-
cano and his family have been taken by
the police department. Buzzacano, in the
meanwhile, Is fearful of his life and is
afraid to talk for publication. He SAYS
that he is sure his life is being sought

PRAISED BY CONFEDERATEs

The Birth of a Nation will be at the
Jefferson all this week. 1t is probably
the greatest picture play ever produced
and has been Endorsed by Confederate or
ganizations in every section of the coun-
try. The Daughters of the Confederacy
throughout the south have been most en-
thusiastic in their praise of this film and
musical spectacle of the trying days of
so-called reconstruction.
Wrongs of history bearing upon the
activities of the carpetbaggers and the
rise of the Ku-Klux Khan have been
rlghted by d. w. Griffith, producer of
the spectacle, in his perturbation of the
reconstruction drama and upwards OF
O. 000, 900 Of northerners who have witnessed
the spectacle in the 10 months that it
has been before the public have learned
for the first time just what the followers
of the Stars and Bars endured at the
close of the war, that a nation might be
born
At the annual convention of the Geor-
gia division, United Daughters of the
Ccnfederacy, held recently at Thomas
vile, Ca. Mrs. e. Dorothy Blount Lamar,
the state president, had this to say con-
corning 1.-THE Birth Of a Nation in her
annual report:
''It is a truthful portrayal of the sor-
rows of those times and it has done a
work in setting the justice
OF our attitude toward our troubles at
this period before an uniformed north.
Our people know too little of
what gave birth to the Ku-klux Khan.
Daughters of the Confederacy in all the
years of their existence ana in all their
places OF power, could not reach the audi
ences that this presentation of The Clans
man has instructed and moved to tears
and laughter, besides quicxening univer-
sal love of the north and south at that
time Call for il inSiStentlY.''

Detectives Shirley. He and Detective
Propst began an investigation and ar
rested Louis Ponsetto, an Italian, on the

ITALIANS AROUSED

The Italian colony OF Birmingham Is
aroused, and many rumors are rife among
them regarding the case. Both mon UNI

dressed Italians and appear to have n
knowledge of this country. Ponsetto
speaks English with only slight accent.
He has been in Birmingham more than u
month, and it was found out last night
that he had not paid any board or room
rent since his arrival. 1t was stated that
he always appeared to have money and
never acted as though he was in financial
straits.
The second letter received by Buzza-
cano yesterday afternoon is written in
Italian on white paper The ink is red.
1t is translated as foolws:
