LEADERS MAY DE-
eide TO PLACE FULL TICKET
IN FIELD

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 2-Progress-
i've party leaders from a number Of
states, who disapprova1 of the action of
the Progressive national committee in
indorsing Charles Hughes for President
at its meeting in Chicago, June 26, will
hold a conference here tomorrow to
consider the advisability of reassemb-
ling the party's national convention
within 80 days to nominate a candidate
for President as a running mate for
John M. Parker, Of Louisiana, nominee
for Vice President.
Mr.. Parker who issued the call for
the conference, arrived tonight and
conferred with Progressive leaders from
EAer states, but no definite plan has
uoen agreed upon for tomorrow's con-
ference.
A majority of the party representa-
tlves who are here favor nominating a
candidate for President but amid a
lack of available candidates. Victor
Murdock, of Kansas, apparently in
choice of a majority but he has declin
ed to make the race.
Bainbridge Colby Of New York, is
mentioned as a possible candidate but
his friends believe he will decline tc
run. Another suggestion is that Mr.
Parker be named for President an(
another candidate selected for vice
president.
A very few of the Progressive from
the eastern states, it is stated, oppose
the naming of third ticket and either
urge the Endorsement of Presiden
Woodrow Wilson or fight to have tn,
conference adjourn without taking ac
tion.
While the leaders who will attend tn
conference are divided as to the wis
dom Of naming a national ticket a
this time they are a unit in protestin;
against the action of the national com
mittee in endorsing Hughes and favo
some action which will tend to perpet
uate the Progressive party as nation
al political organization.
Sarah E. Lyons of Minneapolis, wa
the first woman Progressive to arriv
for the conference, and she favors nam
ing third ticket. cambridge Colby
Matthew Hale and J. A. H. Hopkins
of New Jersey, will arrive here tomo1
row morning. :
T
apparently reflected the sentiment of
majority of the early arrivals, when h
said:
81 want somebody to vote for in NJ
vember / will not vote for Wilson O
Hughes.'

HE SAYS KITCHIN WAS
EVERLASTINGLY RIGHT
Washington Banker Says Order Would
Put Postmasters in the Banking
Business and Cost Democratic
Votes
(P. r. A. in Washington Starr

(P. r. A. in Washington Star.)
Washington, D. c. Aug. q Wade H.
Cooper, president of the United States
Savings and Union Savings banks, of
Washington, and also interested in
dozen other banks in the south, par
ticularly in North Carolina, told the
Star correspondent today that Majority
Leader Claude Kitchin was everlast-
ingly right in dondemning the recent
order issued by Postmaster General
Burleson, directing postmasters through
out the country to collect checks drawn
on state banks who are not members
of the Federal Reserve system.
"Again Democratic Leader Claude
sense in condemning the recent order
issued by Postmaster General Burle-
son directing postmasters throughout
the country to collect checks for their
patrons,'' said Mr.. Cooper. Such an
order, if carried into effect, he said,
would practically force all the small
postmasters in the United States to ac-
lively engaged in the banking business,
that they would have to do the busi-
ness of collecting checks and securing
and maintaining force Of Office en-
ployes just as any country bank would
do, and that Mr.. Kitchin was correct
when he said such an order would cost
North Carolina $4,000 Democratic
votes.
81 tell you to compare Claude Kitch
: ability to the ability of some OF
his critics would be like comparing the
radiant splendor of the sun to the flash
ing of the lightning bug. Mr.. Kitchin
has always been found safe, sane ana
practical in every emergency, and the
man who suggested the issusanee OF
this recent order requiring postmasters
to collect checks manifestly did not
know what he was driving at

JERSEY CITY WILL EXCLUDE ALL
MUNITIONS
Railroads Will Seek Injunction to Re-
strain City From Enforcing
Order

New York, Aug. 2.-The railroad
lines that have terminals in Jersey
City will apply for temporary injunc-
ton to prevent the city from exclud-
ing shipments Of munitions from that
port. Yesterday the commission in
charge Of Jersey City voted to have
the director Of public safety to stop
the railroad from putting explosives in
city. Order is to go in effect at 70
clock, noon tomorrow. The authori-
ties took the step to safeguard the
lives of the citizens from a repetition
of the disaster Of Sunday.
Jersey City, Aug. 2.-Determined to
prevent a recurrence Of the disastrous
fire and explosion on Black Tom Island
last Sunday morning, the city commits
sioncrs of Jersey City have voted to
all freight cars laden with high ex-
plosives.
If the railroads fail to comply, Di-
rector of Public Safety Frank Hague,
chief of the police department., is in
his power and at his command to en-
force the order.
City employees were later sent to
the terminals of all railroads entering
the city to put into effect the order OF
the storage of ammunition in cars, and
on piers in this city and on its ship
ment to the city for steamers going te
Europe. This action was taken because
of the great explosion Of ammunition
at Black Tom Pier Sunday morning
The order will become effective tomor
row. All the railroads having termin
ais here have received notice to dis
continue receiving war munitions
through this city. Officials of some Of
the railroads threaten to get out in
functions restraining the city from
barring explosives.

Honored with knighthood-a title
since taken from him by King George
order-for his many years Of service
for Great Britain an Consul and Con

leadership, at period of his country IS
crisis, in the recent Irish rebellion, the

there was transported an armed expe
dition from Germany nearly to the
west coast of Ireland in April of this
year was blown up by its own crew
when the latter foresaw that it was
inevitable that the blockading English
warships would capture it. The crew
were made prisoners. The tramp had
been conveyed by a German submarine
from which Easement and a companion
landed on Irish soil, where they were
taken into custody before their plans
matured.
In May, Easement was given a pre-
liminary hearing and was committed

after appeal by his counsel, confirmed

FAST WORK DONE ON
 ADDING MACHINES
Young Bankers Have Inter- esting Contest at Their
 Regular Meeting

Birmingham members of the Amerl- can Institute of Banking had fine time watching the adding machine contests at the regular meeting held Hast night. The contest was held on
 the third floor of the American Trust building and was arranged by the Bur roughs Adding Machine company. Three prizes had been offered, con sisting of $10, S5 and S2.50. The win ners and time consumed were: D. N Gilley. 2 minutes 20 seconds; N. D. Luckie, ? minutes, 27 seconds; c. C.
 Hilty, 2 minutes 30 seconds. In this time each contestant listed l50 checks.
 D. Moore listed the 150 checks in 2 minutes and seconds, which is 24 seconds short of the worlds record,
 but made an error, so that his score did not count
 An interesting "booby race for men inexperienced with an adding machine was participated in by W. D. Robert
 son and w. w. Crawford, Jr.

INTEREST AROUSED
 IN COMMITTEE RACE
E. w. Pettus Thinks Dallas Will Give Smith Good Majority in Con- ing Election

The people of Dallas county are principally interested, from political standpoint, in the race for Congress in the Fourth district and the con- test between F. D. Smith and Borden Burr for national committeeman, said F. w. Pettus, prominent attorney Of Selma, who was at the Tutwiler last nj ght.
 MT. Smith will probably carry Dal- las county by a good majority and 1 anticipate his election as committeeman. The people feel that regardless of all other matters, his election would be in
 the interest of harmony within the
 party ranks, and that all factions could and would line Up behind Ed
 Smith as national committeeman.
 For the first time in many years,
 there is not single county race in Dallas county While some of the coun- ty offices are considered most desir- !ab1e and are very remunerative, the incumbents in every case this year es- capped without opposition
 MT. Pettus, who is a member of the
 state democratic committee and has
 been prominent in politics for a num-
 Der of years. is a grandson of the late Senator Pettus.
