WOOD AFRAID OF
 PENROSE IN PENNSYLVANIA

Washington, March 21.-(SpeciaL)- No denial is made of the contention of General Woods following that he is 8 very brave man. But he is not brave enough to beard Boss" Penrose In his den.
 Some days ago it was reported that the Wood forces would invade Penn sylvania with intention to prevent the big boss of the republican party hav- ing his own sweet way in his own bailiwick. The report was instantly discredited, for not even the warmest partisan of the general would contend that he is a superman when political courage Is the criterion.
 And now the denial. It came to Washington correspondents not by let ter, not by telegraph. but by long dis tance telephone
 "The report Is false" the voice of Col William Cooper Proctor came trembling. NO authorized statement concerning General Woods candidacy before the people of Pennsylvania has emanated from national headquarters in Chicago"
 There was 8 pause. And then:
 "Or from any other source" The Wood spokesman was obviously disconcenterd by the report that his candidate would dare to attempt to thwart the master of the c. o. F horde.

COLLEGE QUARTET
 FEATURE OF SING

The community sing yesterday after noon at the Jefferson theatre was one of the most popular of the season. The house was packed and many were turned away. This was a. significant fact, as there was counter attraction in Wilson park-a fine concert by an army band.
 ". c. Walternire directed the comrnun- ity programme and the chorus, made up of the audience, responded heartily.
 The quartet from the Birmingham Southern College, in the Huntsman' chorus. received an ovation. It was vociferously recalled and not in long time has a male quartet been so much enjoyed. The personnel of the student singers consisted of Perry Scrivner. J. Lucien Allgood, Gerwin and A. L. Brans- comb.
 Another feature of the programme that made a great hit was Mrs. Waiter Going's whistling solo.
 Treasurer George McCrerry. who has charge of the collections reported that the amount contributed was somewhat above the average.

By H. FoNrA1NE LITTLE

The latter apparently is mere ly Keeping his ear to the ground" and listening. What the result will be re- mains to be told when election day rolls around
 So far as Is known the only demon strative manifestation" that has occurred in behalf of any one candidate is that which Is very much in evidence for the election of Senator Underwood, who undoubtedly is far in the lead of his two opponents for the United States senator ship. It can be said without gainsaying that Senator Underwood's strength is su- preme in this section. The votes are all ready sacked and tied'' for him.
 But the voters are confronted with the problem and solemn duty of filling the late Senator Bankhead's place. The five candidates in the field for the of flee are prompting the voters, and loudly calling attention to their respective cardidacies. And. remembering that strong and stalwart man, John Hollis Bankhead, the voters have cast their ears to the ground. They are mind- full of the responsibility and clearly it is understood that a strong and capable man must be chosen. if Alabama is to have two able representatives in the United States Senate.
