 J. P. Hill of Maryland said:
 q came here thinking that there were only two men in the country on whom we could unite-Roosevelt and Hughes. I have been here a. week and everyone I met thinks we can unite on Hughes. If we go into this conven- tion with any other candidate we will split wide open. I think we can win with Hughes"

STOLEN AUTOMOBILES
 ARE IDENTIFIED BY
 CHICAGO DETECTIVES

Detective Sergeant Edwin E. Graham and Detective J. w. Burke of Chicago, accompanied by Chester A. Whitehead, arrived in Birmingham late Sunday night.

MOST 0F DELEGATES ID THE CONVENTION ON THE GROUND NOW
Information About "the Sit uation" Is Given Freely. Boosters of FavOrite
 Sons Add Color

Chicago, June 5.-Delegates to the re- publican national convention poured into Chicago all day and tonight it was esti- mated that all but very few hundred are now on the ground
 Many delegations came quietly and sought their hotels without display, but the few that brought brass bands and banners and wore badges of favorite sons gave a touch of color and something of a holiday air to pre-convention days that have been lacking.
 It was a retiring delegate who wasn't t buttonholed before he found his room and supplied with informa tion about the situation
 The lobby of the hotel where most of the delegates stop was cleared for action early, it's chairs and couches, even its ferns and palms, removed to safe places and tonight there was nothing on the floor but a milling mass of delegates On the sidewalk outside and in other hotels in the same section the buttonholing and the Whispered conversations went on just as vigorously as preparations were made for the big convention show.
 During the day bands that came along with the delegations and march, ing clupS furnished entertainment for talk-weary politicians, held up the traffic on Michigan avenue and amused the crowd that had collected
 The routine of arrival and registra- tion was followed by the usual ar engagements for state caucuses at which officers and national committeeman will be named, in several delegations, New York and Illinois in particular, factional fights have developed over the selection fnr fhp Tn many of the others there has been so far no sign of trouble and many of the present committeeman will be on the roll when the convention is over.

Graphic Description of
 Naval Battle Given by
 an Officer Participating

 tunity of the mosquito craft and both sides made use of it to the full. It was in this way that one of the saddest of many sad incidents occurred. A destroyer, true to its name, dashed for the big enemy ship, She soon got into effective range and loosed her torpedoes with deadly ef- feet on German battleship. The ship went down and the destroyer raced for safety, the commanding officer standing on the bridge indulging in mutual. hearty congratulations. At that moment shell hit the bridge and wiped out the entire group.
 'It was curious to note the effect of the fight on the sea- The calm at the begin ming was soon ruffled by the gale so great was the turmoil by the levinthians. The ships plowed with a terrific speed through the waves. The sea also seemed to be stuffed with fish stunned by the shells bursting over the water.
 we fought what was in its way a great was the turmoil by the leviathans. battle. Both the grand and terrible were present to an almost overpowering degree in detail. As a spectacle 1t was magnifi- cent, awful. How awful 1t was, it was impossible to reveal until the fever of action had subsided; until the guns were silent and the great ships. some battered. others ab bsolutely untouched, were blowing home on the placed sea-
 THE THRILLING MOMENT
 This account was published in the Scots- man today. After describing the battle itself the officer reverted to incidents preceding it. saying:
 'I shall never forget the thrill which passed through the men on the ships of the grand fleet when that inspiring mes- sage was received from the battle cruiser squadron many leagues away:
 CT am engaged with heavy forces of the enemy
 'One looked on the faces of his fellowv and saw that the effect was electrical. The great ships swung around into battle order and the responsive sea rocked and churned as the massive vessels raced for what were virtually enemy waters. As the grand fleet drew near the scene of action, the smoke of battle and mutter of guns came down on the winds. The eag- erness of the men became almost unbear- ably intense and it was a blessed relief gren our guns gave tongue.'

They argue that the fact that American marines have been employed recently in Nicaragua Haiti and the Dominican republic, and that American troops now are in Mexico may have been used by such agents to discount the Presidents declarations for Pan-American amty Some even assert that a campaign is on foot to prevent the United States from obtaining per- manently the trade with South and Gen. tral America and Mexico formerly held in Europe.
 State department officials refuse to dis cuss that possibility, and the reply Pres ident Wilson will make to the demand for new expressions of disinterestedness has not been indicated.

fate the much criticized city commission: Mavor-Commissioner George B. Ward could not be reached last night, but he expressed himself late yesterday alter noon by saying:
 "Indications are that all three of the bond issues will carry by safe ma1ori- ties. The commission has stood pat on the three of them and l am very much gratified at the forecasted results. It means that we are IorWaro ioohins people in this city"
 Commissioner J. D. Truss, always terse, said:
 q am tickled to death"
 Commissioner Arlie Barber, also, was unavailable to the telephone last night but his statement yesterday afternoon was:
 'As I anticipated. every bond issue IS going to receive a majority. It IS clear verdict of the people that we mem bers of the city commission must go forward"
 Commissioner John R. Hornady, the man on whose shoulders rested the direc- ton of the campaign for the school bonds was highly elated at the splendid vic- tory of his pet issue. MT. Hornady as- stunned office as commissioner on the plat form of better schools and ever since ms induction in office less than six months ago ne mas WOrkeu IiSHt tHu udy Aoi eho education of the children of the city
 WORKED NIGHT AND DAY
 Mr. Hornady went at the subject with vigor. He studied out the problem of presenting forcibly to the people of the city the present conditions of the schools He enlisted the aid of the camera to photograph the schools and then with a stereopticon he visited every hall, church and park in the city, giving lectures nightly on the schools for two solid months. After making his statement re- garding the election last night MT. Horn ady added: well, I guess I am en- titled to a little rest now"
 His statement regarding the result of the election follows:
 Knowing the good sense of the people of Birmingham said Commissioner Eornady, and their largeness of heart when dealing with matters concerning their children, I never had any doubt about the result, but the size of the vic- tory in the face of unexpected opposition is most gratifying. It means that the people want school facilities second to none in the south, and they have cheer fully adopted the only means for provid- ing such facilities.
 'I believe that the success of this,
 and the other bond issues, means a
 great forward step in this city, one
 that will contribute greatly to the
 growth and prosperity of the commun-
 ity Birmingham has started in to do
 things upon a big, broad scale in
 keeping with it's great potential wealth,

 the future will be much more rapid

been said that the one thing lacking
 in this city has been vision. The result of this election shows that
 vision is not lacking; that the peo-
 pie appreciate the magnitude of their
 opportunities and are ready to re-
 spond to every movement that makes
 Birmingham better place for us to
 live in and a more attractive place to
 those seeking home where they can

 progressing in material way"
 MIR. WEATHERLY'S STATEMENT
 Commissioner James Weatherly who. with Commissioner Arlie Barber, directed the campaign for the municipal light bonds issued the following statement:
 T am very much gratified with the re- suit. As to the light bonds, the majority received is especially pleasing in view of the fact that only against municipal own ership was there any organized effort to defeat the purpose of the city commis- sion. This organized opposition was in the hands of experts in the art of cam paigning and no expense was spared.
 "The campaign for the light bonds was conducted by the Municipal Ownership league and through the volunteer efforts of patriotic citizens and practically with out expense. All the wealth and power and influence of Birmingham's greatest monopoly was arraigned against the light bonds and considering that the proposed venture involved competition with the strongly entrenched monopoly, and also involved questions of intricacy with which the people were not familiar and the disposition of some to vote against all bond issues, the result is a great victory
 WHAT MIR. PEVEAR SAID
 When J. S. Pevear, president of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, was requested for a statement on the result of the election, he said he had no comment to make. Members of the Municipal Ownership league who re- ceived congratulations last night for the splendid fight they made were Gen. Louis V. Clark. T. H. Motion, Isadore Shapiro Rev. A. J. Dickinson, Martin J. Lide, Richard W. Massey, Dr. Byron Dozier and a host of others.
 Regarding the auditorium bond issue, it was generally accepted that the influ- ence of Mayor Commissioner George B. Ward saved that proposition from defeat MT. Ward was zealously for the audi torium bonds and his efforts. backed up by the valiant fight of the Chamber of Commerce directed by President Morris w. Bush and Chairman H. K. Miner, changed the tide of opposition into vic- tory.
 And now that it is all over few days of grace will be given the people of Bir- mingham and then the commissioners will start the ball rolling again.

increased, cooperation between patrons and school officials has been made closer, and the personnel of the teaching force has been greatly raised. The city schools have never been such factors in the city life as they are today. All this goes to prove that MT. Haynes is master of his profession.
 "As a man, MT. Haynes bears without abuse the grand old name of gentleman Possessing such an exceptional personal ity he wins friends easily, and having the special gift of inspiration, he holds them. On the side of right against wrong he always takes a stand ana holds it unflinchingly regardless of the consequence. Teachers admire him for his courage, convictions and leadership. Pupils love him, for his very presence shows him to be friend.'
 MT. Haynes was elected yesterday aft ernoon to succeed pr. Simpson after a long session of the board of trustees. He was not the only applicant given casual consideration by any means, and the board deliberated on Dr. Simpsons successor from early in the afternoon until almost o'clock last night. Ac- cording to MT. Munger, the question of electing a president for the Methodist in- stitution was not an easy one. and all of the applications numbering more than a score. had to be taken m

PROUD OF SELECTION

We are proud to announce the eec- tion of MT. Haynes as president of Bir- mingham ccllege," said MT. Munger last night. We believe in selecting him we have the proper man to place at the head of Birmingham college. He is a layman of the Methodist church, a Christian gentleman and very active church and Sunday school worker. He stands for the higher things in Chris tian life and education, and comes to us with more tahn 40 testimonials from ministers, educators, lawyers, doctors, business men and statesmen. His rec concentrations are from the best people in the south, and we consider ourselves lucky to be; able to secure the services of such a man."
 Mir. Haynes came to Birmingham to be present when the board made the de- cision. He was at the Tutwler hotel las. night when MT. Munger called him over the telephone and informed him of his election, and extended congratulations. Aside from MT. Haynes there were a number of other prominent educators in the city awtiting the decision of the boa I'd of trustees
