UNDERWOOD HAS NO COMMENT 10 MAKE ON BRYAN'S SPEECH
Washington Is Familiar With Reason for Bryan's Animus Against Ala
 bamian
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, May 9.-(SpeciaI.)-- Senator Underwood declined to com ment today on the appearance of Will stump in Alabama.
 The senator hnd been appraised of the fact that the visitor. speaking in bekaif of Lawrence B. Musgroye, had resorted to characteristic modes of insinua- ton and capious criticism. Ncyerthe- less he declined to speak of Bryan.
 In Washington however. it is not regarded as extraordinary that Bryan should have made the long and expen- sive journey from Nebraska to Ala bama for the purpose of venting his spleen of many years standing against Underwood. For here 1t is known just why the Bryan boot pirches.
 The Congressional Record for 1912 contains the explanation. In that year MT. Underwood. as chairman of the ways and means committee of the House. was preparing the tariff bin on which the democra tie party was re- turned to power. Mir. Bryan volun- teered the fnformatlcn that the bill was being written .n behalf of the manufacturers of tha Birmingham dis trict. Inasmuch as My. Underwood had pu; the products of che Birmingham district in which he himself was in terested. on the free list. he was com peled to expose the Bryan impudence anG ignorance in a speech in the House 1Ec House was so well aware of tho falsity of the Bryan statement and so anxious to express sctisfactlon in it's leader that it heard ,he epochal call down with shouts or applause and laughter. Especially was the House enthusiastic in its acclaim when Jrn- derwood came as near calling Bryan liar as parliamentary rules would peI init.
 Since that incident the great pacif- ist has invariably abandoned his holier-than-t thou attitcde and assumed hIs real garments whenever the name Of Underwood was mentioned.

Ny FRED II. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, May D. (Spe- ial.)-Disregarding the prom ise of his friends that he would not mention politics. and for getting the fact that Alabama has always considered it right to suspend political activities on Sunday William J. Bryan appealed to citizens of Mont gomery this afternoon to de- feat Oscar Underwood for re- election and in doing so to cast their first choice votes for L. B. Musgrave and their second for Samuel D. Weakley.
 MT. Bryan's address was advertised Saturday afternoon for II o'clock Sunday morning, the hour of worship in Montgomery, but protests were so great, the committee announced a change Sunday morning, and it was delivered at 2 o'clock Sunday after noon at the courthouse. The court room was crowded and many were turned away.
 The speaker lectured on a passage from the Bible, and it appeared for some time that he would not bring poll ltics Into it, but the lure of his an- tlpathy for Senator Underwood was too great and he brought his appeal be- fore the audience with as much adroit- ness as he could use. He esaid pro- hi5ition was still live issue, and that Senator Underwood should be succeed ed by one who would stand with the prohibition organization in the future.
 ALSO AGAINST O'NEAL | MT. Bryan also urged the citizens to vote against former Governor O'NeaI for short term senator, and in doing so to cast their first choice votes for Capt. Frank s. White, but If they could not vote first choice for him to give him their second choice votes Protests against the use of the Sab- bath in the political campaign have be- come general in central and southeast Alabama, and the pastor of one of the big churches of Dothan openly pro- tested against the plan to use the hour ci evening worship there for Mr. Bry- ans political address

By Associated Pres,

El Paso, Tex, May 9.-Gen. Francisco Murguia, Carranza military commander at Mexico City, before leaving the capi- tai, which now is in complete possession of revolutionary forces, carried out a wholesale slaughter of political prisoners at Santiago, the military prison, accord ing to a bulletin issued at revolutionary headquarters here tonight.
 Fifteen Mexican generals were among those reported slaughtered.
 The city was shocked over this bloody erilogue of the Carranza regime" the bulletin said
 Coincident with confirmation tonight in official dispatches of the capture of Mexico City by revolutionsts, the navy department announced that the destroyer flotilla had been ordered from Key West to Tampico also in rebel hands.
 No disorder was reported either in Mexico City or Tampico. and in both places assurances were given of protec- tion to foreigners.
 The embassy message made no mention of President Carranza. Other reports to the department said he had left the capi- tai with a group of adherents, presum- ably for Vera Cruz. but gave no infor- nation as to his present whereabouts.
 While all reports agreed that the seiz- ure of the capital and Tampico had been without opposition and that order had been maintained. the presence at Tam pico of at least one Mexican gunboat, it was said, might have prompted the send ing of destroyers to that point. No off cial reason for their movement was as- signed either by the navy or the state department According to the state de- partment's advice, General Orozco, Car ranza commander at Tampico, took ref uge on the gunboat Jalisco when the rebels entered the city.

 He charges falsehood in the congressman's reference to the governors Tuskegee speech and the Lacey theft. His statement reads:

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 In the speech he delivered at Birming ham last night during the closing hours of the campaign. Mir J. Thomas Heflin, referring to me, used the following lan- guage, IS reported in your paper:
 He made speech to the negroes at Tuskegee Institute, in which he con- demned the white men who lynched a negro for committing rape as cold blooded murderers

I would be untrue, however, to the friends who so Loyalty are supporting me if I did not brand every falsehood as soon as circulated, from whatever source it may come. deem it my duty. therefore, to denounce the statement made by MT. J, T. Hefln as base and malicious falsehood.
 In the speech l made at Tuskegee, and the speeches l made last year in New York and Boston. and while facing hos tile audiences, | declared it was the duty of every negro leader, and of every ne- gro preacher to at once commence q crusade against the negero brutes that committed the crime against womanhood, and that until members of their race ceased to assault our women, lynching would continue l am quoting now from a speech l made recently in Boston and New York:
