BRANDEJS CONFIRMED
 BY THE SENATE AFTER VERY BITTER CONTEST
tcontinued from Page One,

the leading senators in opposition to him felt forced to admit their mistake The nomination of MT. Justice Storey was bitterly criticized by the conser- vatives of his day. Webster and Clay were leaders in opposition to Chief Justice Fancy when he was nominated first as an associate justice and after failure of confirmation, later as chief justice
 The majority held that the petitions and letters in support of MT. Brandeis and particularly from Boston. far out weighed the opposition.
 Tt is easy to make charges" it said, land there is too much proof in this case of preconcerted effort to weaken the power of MT. Brandeis be- fore the public. to think of permitting insinuations and inuendoes to take the place of reasonable proof. We should be certain to have an honest. capable man upon the bench, but unless one be appointed who has not had the ca pacity and the courage to take part in the discussions of the last quarter O: a century. which have been pregnant with constructive legislation and de- cisions, as we'll as undergoing a revo- lution in public sentiment regarding many questions, then 1t would be hard to find one whom either malice or interest could not easily disqua1ify."
 The new justice was horn 60 years ""o in Louisville. Kv.. graduated from Har--r~d rniversitv in 1877 and began tho rractice of law in Boston after ad- mission to the bar in 1873. He prob- ably will take the oath of office June IF, week from Monday. just before the court adJourns for the summer re. cess

WILL DECIDE TODAY WHETHER ROBSON IS. ID MAKE CONTEST.
MusgrOve Back From Pitts burg, But Could Not Forecast Today's
 Action

| A decision will be reached today re- l garding the proposed contest of the result of the primary election for Con- gress in the Tenth district, according to a statement made over long distance i telephone to The Age Herald last night 1 by Col. L. B. Musgrove of Jasper. Col onel Musgrove has just returned from | Pittsburg, where he conferred with | Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson con- corning the matter The 10-day limit for the filing of contests with the state committee in congressional races ex- pires today.
 T cannot state tonight what action, if any, will be taken in regard to the
 tain Hobson," said MT. Musgrove, when called at his home in Jasper last night. q have just returned from the east
 where I conferred with Captain Hob son at Pittsburg. No decision has yet been reached and I cannot make any statement as to what our action will be. Tomorrow (Friday) is the last day on which contest could be filed and we will of course reach a decision sometime during the day"
 Should it be decided to contest the result of the primary, which showed on the face of the returns the cleo tion of William B. Bankhead by a ma jority of 51 votes over Captain Hob- son, the contest would have to be con ducted in the name of someone other than the defeated candidate himself. The law provides that only qualified electors who voted in the primary can question the result and since Captain Hobson is not qualified voter and could not cast his ballot in the pri- mary he is barred from instituting the contest in his own name.
 Although, so far as is known, Col onel Musgrove has given no intimation since his return from the conference with Captain Hobson as to what their decision will probably be, it Is stated by men prominent in the prohibition cause in Birmingham who are warm supporters of the captain that no con- test of the result of the primary will be instituted. They contend that Cap tain Hobson is booked for many lec- lures during the coming months and that he would endanger the cause of prohibition in the states where he Is to speak if he were to leave in Che middle of the campaign 10 come to Alabama to wage a contest. Should a contest be filed it would be heard by the state democratic executive commit tee, of which Gen. Bibb Graves Is chair man.
 It will be recalled that on the day of the primary election the Hobson forces made much ado over the fact that Gus Hallmark, a Hobson support CT at Guin, Marion county, was not al- lowed to stay in the polling place as watcher for the captain. It has since developed that the reason the managers of the election kept MT. Hallmark out of the polling place was because he was himself candidate for office in the primary. Since the law specifics that candidates cannot remain inside the polling place, the managers were unable to see why they should vio- late the law by allowing MT. Hall mark to remain in the booth during the election.

PRESIDENT WILSON
 TO MAINTAIN U. s.
 TROOPS IN MEXICO
tcontinued from Page one)


 vent the attempts at raids before they start
 The war department had no advices today as to the local conference at Colonia Dublan between General Per shing and General Gavira, the Mex ican military commander. whose forces are closest to the American expedi- tion. Gavira arrived at Colonia Dub Ian last night and the conference was expected to be held this morning. Bor- der advices that he was returning to Juarez tonight were taken to mean that. only brief discussion was found necessary, whatever the outcome. Gen eral Pershing had specific instruc tions not to enter into any conversa tion as to the withdrawal of his forces from Mexico. The conference was strictly limited by General Funston to a talking over of possible cooperative steps between the two forces to clean out the bandits.
 No advices reached the state depart ment as to the effect on the Mexican people of the publication of the new note. It is supposed the communication has not as yet been printed only in Mexico City papers and Special Agent Rodgers probably will summarize their comment later.

 A large and representative audience greeted Sydney J. Bowie and Ben Davis at the mass meeting held in Griffin hall, Avondale, last night, and enthusiasm in behalf of the school bond issue reached a high pitch. Avondale has one of the numerous school buildings in Greater Bir- mingham that is unsafe and the people of that community are intensely inter ested in getting better facilities for them selves. as well as for the imperiled chil- dren of other communities.
 In connection with his address, MT. Bowie presented the Pictorial Tour oi Birmingham Schools, showing, by means Of stereopticon views, the highly dan gerous conditions that exist in many of the schools, and he made a profoundly earnest appeal for safe and adequate fa- cilities for the children of Birmingham. He read letters received some months ago from two fathers in Avondale, who had called attention to the fact that the an- cient brick structures which form a part of the Avondale plant, are cracked from foundation to roof, and in these letters he was asked the pertinent question, Would you send your own children into such buildings?"
 The speaker said that as a member of the board of education he had received many such letters from patrons of Br- mingham schools, and he declared that the responsibility for, present conditions was heavy one; too heavy for the mem- bers of the board of education and the city commission to bear, so they are tell ing the people the facts and putting the responsibility up to them. He expressed the conviction that the people, now that they have been made acquainted with the facts. would take steps to remedy conditions and not only provide safe buildings for the children now in the schools but adequate facilities for those who will be crowded in next year as a result of the normal increase and the operation of the compulsory attendance law.
 ADDRESS IMPRESSIVE
 The address of MT. Davis was equally He told his hearers that his own children were attending school in Woodlawn that was in highly dangerous condition and that he had spent more than one restless night thinking of what might happen to them and to other little ones should storm or fire cause a disas- ter. Yet" said the speaker, T want rothing for my children that I do not want for the children of every community in Greater Birmingham He declared that the duty facing the people of Birmingham was solemn one and that it should be approached, not from the dollar stand point, but from the standpoint of hu- man welfare His address was frequently interrupted by applause, as were the re- marks of other speakers who made brief remarks following the arguments pre- sented by Messrs. Bowie and Davis
 Tonight there will be a rally at the Ruhana Baptist church in East Lake, and at the same time the initial presentation of the great educational film, "The March Of Empire" will be made at Woodlawn, in the city hall auditorium. Saturday night there will be mass meeting in Ensley, to be addressed by Commissioner Hornady and others. and on Sunday aft ernoon comes the general treatment of all the bond questions in the Bijou the- atre.

A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result is
they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep OF act naturally, breath is bad,
system full of cold, has sore throat,
stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen,
Mother! See if tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful of California
Syrup of Figs" and in few hours all
the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the sys-
tenn, and you have a well child again.
Millions of mothers give California
Syrup Of Figs" because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and it new
er fails to act on the stomach, liver
and bowels.
Ask at the store for 5O-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which

of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Adv.
