w. c. DAVIS VISITOR
 AT STATE CAPITAL


 Montgomery, March 14.-(Special.) )--W c. Davis of Jasper, one of the leaders in thes legislature at its recent session was among the prominent visitors tc the capital today. MT. Davis had busi- ness before the state board of par dons.
 In discussing the congressional race in his district, MT. Davis declared the contest to be the hottest he has eyer seen. indicating that, in his opinion. the fortunes of war were about evenly di- vided.
 Walker county is hotbed of poli- tics," said Mr. Davis. Captain Hobson and MT. Bankhead are both conducting vigorous and aggressive campaigns. and it is hard to tell who has the advant- age. In my opinion, 1t would be diff cult at this time to forecast the result Another visitor from the Tenth dis. trict was Chester Tubb of Winston, re- publican member of the last legisla- ture. MT. Tubb said he thought MT Bankhead was leading in his county though could not speak with reference to the other counties in the district He too. declared the fight to be the hot. test political campaign he has ever wit messed

TALES OF HERO|SM
 FROM SHIP DISASTER
Additional Instances of the Brave Conduct of Officers
 When Provence Was Sunk

Toulon, France, March 14-Additional instances of heroism of officers of the French auxiliary cruiser Provence, sunk in the Mediterranean February 26, are recorded in dispositions of survivors sent today to Paris.
 Among those who went down with the Provence were Chief Engineer Lev avasseur and Assistant Engineer Regnet. Wireless Operator Plan and Assistant Operator Lehuby and Lieutenant Besson.
 Levavassuer. who was employed as an engineer when the Provence was in the New York Havre passenger service, con- tinued to fill the position when the ves- sel was transformed for war uses. As soon as the Provence was struck he hastened below and ordered the engines stopped, at the same time giving in- structions to Assistant Engineer Regnet. Despite the fact that the water was three feet deep in his compartment Reg net continued to carry out the orders of his chief to the end
 Levavasseur saw to it that all his men left their quarters and then. al- though he might have been able to save himself, took his place beside the captain of the vessel and disappeared with him.
 Plan and Lehuby continued operating the wireless until the last minute, also refusing to save themselves.
 Besson declined the place offered him in a lifeboat Save yourselves; I have time" said he. That was the last seen of him.
 Out of APO members of the crew of the Provence, 2S0 are known to have been saved.

BELIEF THAT A LONG, BITTER WAS IS FACING
 AMERICAN REPUBLIC
tco.tinuea from Pas. o.es

|several American passengers, is re- garded of sufficient importance to
 warrant an investigation. The second and perhaps more significant of these is the return to America of Ambassador Gerard, the representa- |tive of this government at the court lof the Kaiser.
 Secretary Lansing has declared that lin the return of Gerard citizens should lnot be perturbed. He has added that lit is his opinion that agents of the Government should be permitted to lrest. It is interesting to note. how lever that no other ambassador has been ordered home for change in scenery" and to recall that Colonel House has just given the chief exec. lutive and his cabinet a most exhaus- ltive account of conditions in Ger many.
 | Why does Gerard return in this very instance when relations between this lgovernment and that of the Kaiser is !considered more desperately strained
 than ever before? The question re- mains unanswered. Congress is oh- lviously nervous The result may be a
 redoubling of speed in enacting pre-
 paredness and other militant legisla-

SENATOR CUMM|NS MINNESOTA CHOICE President Wilson Unopposed on the Democratic
 Ticket

St. Paul Minn., March 14.-Scatterins returns from today's presidential prefer ence primary in Minnesota indicated All bert B. Cummins, United States senator from Iowa, had been declared the re- publican choice for the presidential nomi- nation over Henry D. Estabrook of New York, and William Grant Webster of Chicago. The vote was light.
 Woodrow Wilson was unopposed on the democratic ballot, the contests for elec- ton as delegates being waged between forces allied with National Committed man Fred B. Lynch and the so-called anti-Lynch contingent. Early returns to- night gave no definite indication as to which faction would control the delega- ton.
 Neither Eugene N. Toss, former gov ernor of Massachusetts, nor William Sul- ger, former governor of New York, had an advantage in the first returns on their contest for the prohibition presi- dential nomination.
 Progressives had no contests.

FLEET OF CRUISERS
 SHOULD BE BUILT
Captain Sims Testifies Be- fore Naval Committee
 Hearing

Washington, March H.-Immediate con- struction of eight or nine battle cruisers to provide an element of strength now sadly lacking in the American fleet was urged before the House naval commit tee today by Captain Sims, commanding the hattleship Nevada.
 The captain also advised the building of many additional destroyers. He said tLat while much had been accomplished toward making armored ships less vul- nerable to torpedoes, there had been no solution of the problem of protecting a fleet against torpedo attack in open sea. Therefore, he said. the navy should have plenty of fast craft to chase off destroyer and submarine enemies.
 Much information was given the com- mittee by the witness concerning the navies of the world and their operations. He said it was improbable that any great expedition against the United States ever would start from the other side of the Atlantic, but that some point in the West Indies probably would be used as base.
 He strongly indorsed the navy depart ment's proposal to promote officers by selection instead of by seniority.
 Before the committee began it's hear ings today Chairman Padgett conferred with President Wilson, who urged him to speed up work on the naval appropria- tion bill. The chairman said he ex- pected the hearings to be concluded within two weeks.
 Thomas A. Edison and other experts will appear tomorrow to tell the com mittee of the necessity of erecting a great experimental laboratory here ir which to work out naval problems.

COMMANDMENT TEST
 OF NEW TYPE OF FORT
Battleships New York and Arkansas
 Fire Shells at 12 Miles

Mobile, March 14.-The United States hattleships New York and Arkansas stood about F miles in the Gulf of Mexico to- day and dropped by direct fire their largest shells on a specially constructed concrete and sand fortificatlon at the mouth of Mobile bay, at the rate of one shell every 10 minutes. Officials refused to make known the result of the test The New York fired 14-inch projectileE, while the Arkansas used 12-inch shells Later in the day the battleships drew in closer to shore.
 Those who witnessed the firing said that so far away were the .battleehipS that all but their upper structure was below the horizon. Three aeroplanes cir cled the newly constructed fort ard di- rected the fire, signaled hits and madS 1.hotographs of the damage inflicted by the big gun fire.
