ALABAMA WOMAN IS
 EAGER TO MAKE TRIP
Miss Otis Greene Is Writer and Wants to Accompany Ford Party
 to Get Copy"

Washington. December 4.-(Special) has characterized Henry Ford as a clown and an ignoramus, and despite the fact that the government, regarding his mis- sion as theoretical and entirely imprac- ticable, has denied him the right to enter the war zone, there is one Alabamian overwhelmed by a desire to accompany the automobile manufacturer to Europe.
 And this Alabamian is a girl.
 Miss Otis Greene, living now in New York, wants to go. She has appealed to Birmingham and Washington friends to aid her She may go.
 Miss Greene is a sister of Col. J. Gard ner Greene of Pell City and Is writer by profession.
 Nevertheless, Miss Greene is aware of the apparent interpretation made by this country of the plans of Ford Bryan & Co. For in a letter to w A. Gunter mayor of Montgomery, a letter forwarded to certain Alabama representatives, she urges that her friends represent to MT Ford that she is of established social po- sition, and Is in entire possession of her mental faculties Representatives in re- ceipt of the letter have interested them selves, and it is regarded as possible that Miss Greene will be invited to go with Ford and his party across the seas in an effort to put an end to the great E,i- ropean struggle. It is apparent. however that Miss Greene is not of the impress sion that peace can be restored merely by skipping the Kaiser on the wrist
 But in the enterprise Miss Greene sees an opportunity to furnish American pe- riodicals with interesting matter She de- clares that she wants to pay her pass age and all her other expenses. this de- spite the fact that Ford has invited camera men and publicity agents to go free of charge. Miss Greene believes that the cruise, regarded by many as a Quix- otic assault against a modern windmill. will be productive of interesting copy, and that by the use of her pen, she will be amply rewarded for the burdens of the trip.
 Miss Greene Is the first southerner to express desire to accompany the Ford expedition. From other sections of the country, however many have applied for passage positions

UNDERWOOD AND
 HARDING PRAISED
Frank Julian Carries Resolutions to Washington Recently Adopted by Tennessee Valley Press
 Association

Washington December 4-(Special.) ) Frank N. Julian, former secretary of state, and now one of the best known newspaper men of Alabama, returned today to Sheffield after business trip to Washington.
 He, as president of the Tennessee Valley Press association, recently or ganized. came for the specific purpose of serving on Senator Underwood and w. F. G. Harding, member of the fed eral reserve board, copies of resolu- tions respecting them which were adopted sometime ago by his associa- tion.
 In the resolutions, Mir. Harding was highly complimented for the able man. ner in which he had handled the cot ton situation, and MT. Julian added that, in his own opinion, nothing had saved the farmers of the south from disaster but the wonderful ability of MT. Harding in dealing with the war ring and rival buying nations of Ger many and England
 Mir Underwood was complimented In the resolutions for his able work re- specting the party as whole, and especially in behalf of the rivers of Alabama
 The resolution urged both men to exert their influence fin behalf of Ala bama in the moment when prepared ness" is the keynote. It was pointed out that if this nation is to prepare for war in every particular, some state with mineral wealth, latent water power, and navigable streams must be depended upon, and that in all these essentials, no state is more abundantly blessed than Alabama.

TO
 ADD SOME COLOR
Several Measures Which They Are Sponsoring Will Come Before
 Congress This Session

Washington, December 4-(Special) The prohibitionists promise to lend color to the ensuing session of Congress
 The bills of greatest importance pend- ing are those which provide that liquor manufactured in one state may not pc shipped into another. and which would make the District of Columbia dry
 Another bill regarded with interest is that of MT. Abercrombie of Alabama, which would deny the service of the mails to advertisements directed to terri tory in which prohibition obtains
 That bill, which would deprive liquor of it's present position as a subject or ln- terstate commerce, is regarded as of chief importance. It Is doubted whether it can be successful on passage.
 The bil, providing that the District of Columbia must be 'dry" cannot win of it's own strength, it is said. However. 1t is regarded as probable that it will be tackled on to the general appropriation bill with the result that if appropriations are authorized, the district will go "dry." And thus 1t may pass, for the appropria- tions are generally deemed necessary ir the several districts of the several states of the union
 The Alabama bill is not seriously re. garded It is thought probable that Il would have the effect not only of barring circulars and letters soliciting trade from residents of dry territory. but that il would prevent. by federal statute, the cir. cuIation of newspapers in prohibition ter rtory.
 It is said to be safe guess that this
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-12-05

are more or less fretted They are anxious that nothing occur which will have a tendency-not to defeat President Wilson for the nomination-but to muddy" the waters.
 There is no secret made of the general belief that on the result of the national fight to be staged next fall, the fate of democracy for the next quarter century will be determined. It is generally pre- dicted that if the democrats win. they will be able to remain indefinitely in power; but that if the republicans win, they, coming in on the wave of demo- cratic prosperity, will remain at the helm for many years to come.
 Therefore there is uneasiness not only respecting Alabama, but every other southern state over which the prohibition wave has ebbed In the first place, there is the idea that Mir. Bryan is trying either to acquire the nomination with no hope of being able to win the presidency, or that he desires to control at least one third of the delegates and thus be in po- sition to write the platform. Should the prohibitionists try to have included in the platform a prohibition plank, they would split the convention, and, in the event of their success, defeat the party at the polls This according to the idea which prevails among astute political leaders.
 The situation is one of remarkable deli cacy, it is admitted, and the Wilson lead CTS will proceed with especial care in an effort to prevent the mudde which is de- clared to be unnnecessary It is regarded as highly probable however that some method will be adopted by means of which the people of Alabama-and other prohibit tion states in the south-will be given to understand the men whom the admins tration would desire to serve at the con- vention.
 And in this way the people will be guided. If they are inclined to Wilson Wilson delegates without an ulterior mo- tive will be chosen, and if they are not inclined to Wilson delegates with other objects in view will be selected.
 Aiabamians in Washington admit that Alabama will send a delegation thor oughly in accord with the views of the administration, unless in the selection of leaders a partisan fight be precipitated in which the democratic party will be lost sight Of as an issue.

TO MAKE DISTRICT
 CONVENTIONS UNIT
Jelks Will Make Suggestion at Meet ing This Week But Old Method
 Will Probably Prevail

Washington, December 4.-(SpeclaL) The democratic executive committee will
 meet in Washington next week and Ala bamas member will suggest an epochal departure from prevailing customs. William D. Jelks, representing Alabama, will endeavor to prevent the instruction of the delegations from the various states He will stand for the district rather than the state rule. If he is successful in his plans Alabama will not of necessity cast l II votes as a unit, but each of the 10 dis tricts of Alabama will cast vote. The 10 may be identical, but each nevertheless will retain it's entity.
 MT. Jelks is of the impression that when the district rather than the state is re- garded as a unit. the power of certain | bosses will be broken forever. He holds 1 that under the district rule. the boss of the New York delegation or the Illinois delegation may be able to acquire 50 dele | gates, or majority, but that the re- | maining 46 may cast their votes for any l candidate the aforesaid 46 desire. MT. Jelks believes that result, the dem ocratic convention of the future will be democratic, indeed. and not boss-ridden. | It is regarded, however. as highly prob able that the committee in it's session next week will ordain that old customs will be adhered to, and that the progress 1 sive' in theories will have to await de- velopments for the success of their novel l ideas
 l MT. Jelks may stand again for commit- | teeman representing Alabama on the na- | tional democratic executive committee. I lie has not as yet made up his mind The position is one of honor solely, and Borden Burr has announced.
 It is generally thought that race be-

ALABAMA'S PLACES
 ON COMMITTEES

Washington, December 4-(Special) Of standing committees of the House, the south will have 37 chairmen; the re- mainder of the country 21.
 Alabama will have but one chairman. Congressman Burnett will again head the immigration committee.
 Alabamians were assigned this after noon as follows:
 Abercrombie-Public accounts, coinage weights and measures education, elec- tion of the President.
 Almon-Labor, revision of laws, roads
 Blackmon-Postoffice and post roads,
 Burnett-Immgratio alcoholic liquor traffic, public buildings and grounds.
 Dent-Miitary affairs.
 Gray-Insular affairs, merchants ma rine, fisheries, railroads and canals.
 Heflin-Agriculture.
 toh-Expenditures in the post office department, foreign affairs, pen eions.
 Oliver-Naval affairs
 Steagall-B Banking and currency, patents and claims.
 The delegation failed in an effort to secure place for MT. Gray on the rivers and harbors committee, a position in which he could have served to advantage in view of the fact that Alabama is so plentiously blessed in streams re- quiring appropriations.

BATHE IN FOUNTAIN
 AT WHITE HOUSE
McAdoo and Harding Children Set a Mark Which Has Never Be-
 fore Been Achieved

Washington, December 4-(Special.) The little daughters of Secretary Me- Adoo and w. P. G. Harding have set a mark never before aehieved-never be- fore. it is possible, attempted.
 They have disported in the water of the fountain which plays on the grounds sur- rounding the White House.
 Mir. Harding laughingly told the story yesterday. The little girls, it seems. donned their bathing suits and boldly stepped In. They were at the height of their frolic when President Wilson, ever with the welfare of the people at heart discovered them.
 He was amused beyond all question. But at the same time he was uneasy with fear lest the little girls catch cold.
 So like the proverbial hen which brought fourth a brood of water-loving ducllings, he resorted to every persuasive argument until he had induced the little girls to stand again on dry land.
 Mir. Harding says that he jokingly told his spirited daughter that she would ruin his political career. and that reporters and photographers had already fortified themselves with proof that the incident had, in fact, occurred.
 But the dire prediction was not fulfilled and the little girls are said to be pleased that they alone of all the people of the United States have tried the surf in the fountain on the White House grounds and that no i'll results therefrom had ob- tained.
 The interesting little story of the young girls filled with the spirit of the noble old south, is known only to a limited number of people. Among that limited number howerever it is repeated with that zest and satisfaction which comes only in the relating of something unusual and at the same time, from a human nature side, is highly entertaining.

JUDGE THOMPSON TAXES TANLAC AND
 REGA|NS HEALTH
Well Known Magistrate
 Says He Thought Opera tion His Only Chance

E Although many prominent men and women in every walk of life throughout i the south have indorsed Tanlac, the Pre- mier Prepara tion,' nothing that has been published will carry more weight than the sta atement of Judge George Washington Thomason magistrate at Boyles, sub urb of Birmingham. Judge Thomson has been in public life for many years, and is honored and respected by every man, woman and child in his section, where ne has lived for nearly half cen tury, for his strict integrity and even ness of justice. He is closely identified with all church work in the community, as well as every other movement looking to the betterment of his fellow-man. In a conversation with a Tanlac repre- sentative, at his office Tuesday afternoon the judge had this to say concerning his experience with the Master Medicine:' q am 6S years of age, and have always been conservative in what I say, but I am glad to tell you that I believe Tanlac is the best medicine I ever found, and five bottles of it has certainly done me a world of good. It is hard for me to real ize that man of my age, who has been afflicted as long as 1 have, could get such relief in so short time
 For the past three or four years I was losing ground so far as health was con- cerned My digestion was very poor, and didn't seem to assimilate my food. As time went on, I could plainly tell that l was getting worse, and other complica- tions seemed to arise. My liver was out
 of order, and for several months I thought l had appendicitis and would have to
 undergo an operation.
 My kidneys acted abnormally and
 caused me great inconvenience. Sharp,
 shooting pains came in my back and I finally got so I couldn't stoop over at all. Nothing in the way of medicine did
 me much good.
 My blood was in bad condition and
 could feel my strength gradually leav- ing me. Sleep rested me but little, and
 I had very poor appetite, and what I ate
 hurt me afterward
 T had been disappointed in so many different medicines I must confess I was loathe to give Tanlac a trial, even after
 hearing so many favorable expressions about it, but I finally decided to put it
 to the test
 1T do not exaggerate one bit when I say
 that before half the first bottle was taken. I began to feel better. Then I
 commenced to break out all over in red splotches, showing that the medicine was
 going down deep in it's process of purifica- tion My appetite improved rapidly, and
 l began to gain strength. Now, I see the
 greatest kind of change in my condi-
 tion in every way. Tanlac has certainly
 built me up wonderfully, and I have the
 greatest faith in it. As an overhauling
 tonic I don't believe it has an equal, and
 have recommended it to a number of my friends
 Genuine Tanlac is sold in Birmingham m exclusively by Jacobs Drug Store and Patton-Pope Drug Co. In Ensley by D. w Morris Drug Co.,; Bessemer, Pegram- Patton Drug Co.,; North Birmingham, Walker Drug Co, and Pratt-City, Gale Drug Go It is also sold by exclusive agencies in all parts of the state.--Adv.

 On the witness stand lH. sAs frankly admitted the shooti u ytnA that she shot him twice and knew the shots were fatal She said that at the beginning of the quarrel her two Nt- tie children became alarmed ana sought refuge in closet in the room fin which the shooting occurred. When she shot Hammett his body fell in front of the closet door, behind which her two frightened children were hid ing, and fearing one of them had been shot. she found 1t necessary to drag tho dead mans body out of the way.
 The defendant was represented by T. Ben Kerr, prominent attorney of Piedmont. and Judge $. w. Tate of this city. County Solicitor Tunstall prose- cuted the case for the state. The case attracted a great deal of attention in Calhoun county, as the defendant and the man she killed were both well known. The courtroom was congested with crowd. including several score of people who had come from Jackson vile to hear the testimony.
