from The Age-Heralds Washington correspondent last night. MT. Pitts, however, writes as follows:
 Having seen frequent mention of my name in home newspapers in con- nection with the federal judgeship al Mobile. for which I have not applied, it may be appropriate for me to say that this probably came about nat urally and from a misconception of my position here.
 Ut constantly becomes necessary for me to discharge delicate duties re- specting the filling of federal judi cial positions, and the Alabama case is not an exception. These duties in volve consulting with and giving ad- vice to the Attorney General, and are absolutely incompatible with a recep- tive disposition or desire in favor of myself.
 "ConsequenGy, I have determined that under no pressure will accept the place, even if the President should be desirous of following the inclina- tion of the Attorney General and of fer me the appointment"

 Neither man would comment exten- sively on the Overton case, although they were anxious to hear what was being done today. They were of the opinion that Overton would not be con- victed for murder.
 No fear of violence in Huntsville is felt by the two men who at one time might not have had much chance for their lives. On the other hand, they feel that now, since the killing of Judge Lawler has been cleared up, the people of Huntsville will receive them with open arms. "We expect nothing but sympathy" said Nails. "We have both been inconvenienced and perse- cuted and deserve their sympathy. The state has not been fair to us. We should have been freed long ago and public sentiment is now in our favor
 It probably will be several days be- fore any news will come from the camps of the state prosecutors regard ing the disposition of these two men. The men are being shown every con sideration by the county officials of this county and while their quarters here are not So large as in the JeHef- son county jail they appeared con- tented and satisfied with conditions

HEFL|N IS JUB|LANT
 OVER THE ELECTION
Also EIated That His Pre- dictiOn of 20-Cent Cotton
 Has Been Realized

J. Thomas Hehin, representative in Congress from the Fifth Alabama dis trict. is elated.
 He is jubilant over the fact that his prediction that cotton would go to 20 cents per pound has been realized.
 He is gratified beyond expression at the triumph of President Wilson by virtue of the unpurchasable and patriotic votes of the American people" He gives thanks for the victory of the "democ- racy of the human over the aristoc- racy of the dollar"
 Representative Hefin was in Bir- mingham yesterday on his way to Washington to be present at the open ing of Congress Monday He declared that the reelection of the President meant more to popular government than the result of any presidential cam Ipaign since Andrew Jackson was chosen as the nations chief executive.
 In discussing the return to power of President Wilson he said:
 "In Jackson's day, certain sinister interests had obtained control of the government and they had come to re- gard the government as an instrument to be used by them for their own spe- cial benefit without regard to the well fare of the people. Jackson drove from power the plutocrats of his day and
 restored popular government in the United States.
 President Wilson's election in 1912 was a great blessing to the people of this country. Predatory wealth and sin ster interest had control of the re- publican Congress and of the republican President, and the government had been perverted from the ends of it's Institution. Republican statesmen were displaced by the agents of special in- terests who became the noisy politicial bosses of the republican party. The capitol of the nation had become a clearing house for corrupt political tricksters and tradesmen and the spirit of patriotism and civil honesty had gone out of those who really controlled the government.
 50 I say, that the election of Presi- dent Wilson in 1912 was fraught with great good to the American people He freed the government from the con trol of those who placed the privilege to p1under above the good of the coun- try, and during the four years that he has been President, he has re-estab- lished popular government and re- stored governmental auth ority to it's proper function in the United States. "The American people are grateful for the prosperity and the peace that we as nation enjoy under democratic rule, but we should give thanks on next Thursday for the triumph of principle and patriotism over the power of the purse in the recent national election. President Wilson stands for the best that there is in human government, and his election was the triumph of the democracy of the human over the aris- tocracy of the dollar"

HIGH COS- OF FOOD NOT DUE
 ENTIRELY TO EXPORT TRADEI
Algot Bergstrom, Commissioned by Swedish Gov ernment to Study Food Conditions in United States, Says War Is Not Entirely to Blame.
 There Is No Hope for Early Peace

and groped for the appropriate word to express his meaning, for he does not speak English fluently.
 Manipulated, the reporter suggested ''Yes," he said, that is it. Prices are too high in America.
 How do the people of Sweden regard the sentiment of the United States in re- iation to the fighting nations?
 "Of course, my expressions are not of ficial. l can speak only my personal opin- ions Firms of the United States are selling immense quantities of food sup plies and munitions to be used by the all lies. This is known, of course. But the Swedish people believe that the American firms would have supplied Germany and her allies with the same aid if Germany had control of the seas. This is their opinion as regards the neutrality of the United States"
 'Do you believe that there. would be
 hope for peace should the United
 States, through President Wilson,
 start proposal from neutral nations?'
 No. There is no hope for imme-
 diate peace. do not think the time
 is ripe for peace proposals. As con-
 ditions are just about the same as at
 the beginning of the war, there seems
 to be no possibilities of the war clos
 ing It seems to be a hopeless war;
 Do you think Sweden is likely to be drawn into the warp
 We do not want to fight but there is always a possibility that Sweden will be involved in the war. Sweden. being so near the war zone, is in a delicate situa- ton and we must be absolutely neutral But one can never tell what will hap pen.'
 Has your tour of the United States given you a new impression of the coun- try and it's people?"
 "Yes. Your country amazes me by its resources. You have so many here The country is so large and the life is so diff ferent"
 MT. Bergstrom is accompanied by his wife. They will leave this morning for the east.

The high cost of living is perpleXing another neutral nation. The United States is not the only country not in the world war that is beset with the problem of ascending costs of food supplies. Sweden is troubled and has sent Algot Bergstrom from Stockholm to investigate the possibilities of ac- quiring aid from the greater neutral country.
 As an agent of the Swedish govern ment Mr. Bergstrom has spent sev- eral months in Investigating the food situation in this country and is now in the city He has visited New York, Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia and will leave Birmingham this morning, after spending three days here.
 After his far-reaching fnvesti-
 gation, MT. Bergstrom is of the
 opinion that, despite the fact that
 the United States is engaged in
 supplying war-torn Europe with
 immense supplies of food, this is
 not the only cause of the high
 prices that obtain here.
 Normally Sweden is dependent upon other countries for a great part of her food supplies, the Swedish gov ernment agent said last night at the Tutwiler But on account of the needs of England, Sweden has been unable to have her wants filled. For the purpose of seeing whether it might be possible for this country to aid in furnishing supplies at more reasonable prices 1 was sent to the United States to study the situation.
 After having studied the problem I feel that, although it is true that America is supplying the warning countries with munitions, the present high prices are not due entirely to this cause. It seems that prices have been"-here Mir Bergstrom hesitated

 tions he thought, should be left as far as possible to the states. He opposeu dividend limitations on nationally moor porated roads unless minimum as well as a maximum return is fixed.
 Answering a suggestion of MT. Adam son that the railroads might try out national incorporation on one new road, he said the question confronting the pub lie now is not how nationally moor porated road would succeed. but how 10 take care of 250,0O0 miles of road already in operation, which need some such re- lief as he believes will be found under a federal controlled system.
 MT. Thom said the railroads are almost unanimously for federal incorporation and that although most railroad men oppose government ownership, there are some who are anxious for it. He de- clared 1t would be easy to provide for government ownership if the men to buy the roads were found, and said. In hls opinion, federal incorporation would not be a step impeding such ownership
