THOMPSON REMOVED. AS WOOD MANAGER.
Hitchcock Wires Notice of Removal-Long May Sue
 ceed Deposed Manager

]. o. Thompson was removed from the managership. in Alabama, of General Leonard Woods presidential campaign by authority of Frank H. Hitchcock, Wood g national campaign manager, according to a telegram reaching Pope M. Long at Cor dova, last night.
 Mr. Long forwarded the message from Mir Hitchcock to rspubl cans in this city. who gave out the information.
 The telegram is worded as follows:
 Thompson no longer officially connect ed with the Wood management. If ne is attempting to act in that capacity U Is without authority"
 When asked for a statement Mir Thompson said that the information was g. distinct surprise to him, that he has had no communication either by letter or wire from any one connected with General Woods campaign that there has keen any change in the management Tn Alabama. He said he considered it proper fer him to say, however, that what worK ne had done in behalf of General Wood Is by written authority, first from J. T. King, the original Wood manager, ana now under authority O. Senator G. h. Moses of New Hampshire, and this with the full authority and approval of Gen eral Wood. He continued:
 'I must refrain from commenting on so important matter on heresay testi- meny, at least until the report is authorl- ta.ively confirmed or denied"
 The telegram reached MT. Long, in cor dova, about o'clock yesterday evening" Mir. Lcng, oy long distance telephone communicated the message to O. IT, Street. Major Dallas Smith and Gordon Ashby, who were stopping at the Motion hotel The message was confirmed by Mr Long in a telephone message to The Age-Herald office.
 N. L. Steele, prominent in republican circles here, was asked v hom he thought would take over the work. He said most probably MT. Lony.
 Republicans fin Birmingham began buz- zing when the news came. The impress sion seemed to be that Frank H. Hitch cock had not forgotten that while he was working for MT. Tafts candidacy some twelve years ago, MT. Thompson had been on the Roosevelt side.
 The belief here is that the management of General Woods interests in Alabama will rass to Mir. Long and MT. Street, 1T tie telegram is authentic

PLANNING TO BEGIN COTTON
 GROWING AT ONCE
By Associated Prsss

London. March 11.-Empire cotton growing on a commercial basis almost immediately is foreshadowed from a meeting held yesterday in the House of Commons which was attended by some of the Lancashire members of the House and other persons finan- cially interested in the cotton trade
 according to the Manchester Guardian.
 A suggestion ~cs approved that the Lancashire capitalists provide 15.000,- 900 pounds sterling for commercial development. to be invested in cotton growing in some selected colony or colonies, subject to reasonable facil : ities by road and rail to be provided by the colonies where cotton is grown.
 The meeting was adjourned for a week in order that inquiry might be made into the practicability of Lanca- shire providing the 15.000.000 pounds sterling. The Guardian says it Is be- lieved this money will be readily forth coming. because Lancashire at present Is full of money through the cotton trade boom. The newspaper adds it is understood, if the plan materiafizes, a proposed grant from the treasury of 100000 pounds yearly and a levy of 6 pounds bale would be forthcoming, which would be spent in pioneer work.

DENIES ORGANIZED MASSACRE
 Associatsd PFetH

Constantinople, March 6.-(Delayed.) The Turkish minister of foreign affairs, Safa Bey, today discussed the Marash tragedy and the Cilician situation with the Associated Press. He emphatically denied there was an organized mas- sacre of Armenians, but said one or two hundred non-cambatants Mussul- mans as well as Christians, had been killed or wounded.
 "The truth of the statement that there was no organized massacre is evident" he continued, "as after the definite evacuation of Marash calm was re-established and the Armenians there enjoyed the protection of the very persons they attacked with such hatred.
 Tt was not an organized massacre. The only purpose of the tribes which rushed to the assistance of Marash was to deliver their co-religionists. The French and Armenians retired to tke suburbs, and having received re- Inducements, resumed the lombard ment of the city, which was two-thirds destroyed. Mussulman villages sus- pected of having co-operated with the defenders of Marash were surrounded by Armenians who committed massa- cres without sparing women or chil- dreH.

Montgomery Bureau The AHs-hsraId
 22i-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, March 1i.-(Special.) )-Al- though complete list of all persons who qualified up to the time limit Wednesday night for the democratic primary May Il was not available Thursday because of the delivery of several qualifications to the office of W. D. Nesbitt, chairman of the state executive committee, in Bir- mingham instead of Monte omery, the list Thursday showed several surprises
 It had been thought Judge c. C. Ne Smith of Birmingham would enter the race for one of the two positions on the supreme court which must be filled this year. but he did not file his qualification papers. Judge NeSmith in Montgomery Tuesday told friends that he probably would be in the race, but up to the time limit his entrance fee was not received.
 Glenn H. Hill of Walker county, re- turned soldier, who had announced for congressman from the Tenth district, sub mitted his qualification pledge to the com mittee on the last day, but he did not pay the entrance fee. Therefore, his name will not appear on the ticket. The secre- tary of state Thursday received his dec laration in compliance with the corrupt practice act MT. Hill evidently did not know the legislature in 1919 amended the law so as to give the state committee authority to levy reasonable assessments against candidates.
 Another eleventh-hour qualification was M. B. Grace of Birmingham as a candi- date against George Huddleston in the Ninth congressional district. His quail fication was among the last to be re- ceived.
 George J. sorrell of Tallapoosa county qualified as a candidate for congressman ir the Fifth district at the last moment, ss did H. E. Gipson of Autauga county, giving seevn candidates for the position which will be vacated by Congressman J.. Thomas Heflin, who Is candidate for United States senator as the successor of John H. Bankhead, deceased. Other candidates are William r. Cobb. ". B. Bowling, J. Sanford Mullins, John R. Mccain and o. c. Carmichael. Interest in this campaign is second only to the campaign for the short-term senatorship.
 A. c. Patterson, who was elected national committeeman when E. D. smith moved from the state, qualified for full term, but withdrew when he entered the race for president of the public service commission against Sam r. Kennedy, in- cUmbent

laid at the door of the United States by Earl Curzon, the foreign secretary, in explaining the peace conferences 8 negotiations to the House of Lords to- day.
 Earl Curzon's statement follows
 The difficulties with which we are confronted result from the fact that the treaty with Turkey ought to have been taken up year ago If 1t had been possible. The circumstances which prevented that or rendered it difficult at Paris are well known and the House knows that the additional delay that ensued later in the year was due to no action or inaction on our part but solely to our waiting for the United States of America.
 That was the necessary cause of the delay. It was in It's Consequences ex- ceedingly regrettable.
 T do not attribute the blame to anybody, but 1t is fact. which he who runs can read, that the situation that has been growing up is due to the fact that twelve months have been lost In dealing with this question:"

HONESTY AT CAPITAL

montgomery, March II. = (SpeciaI.)- Honesty is the best policy" seems to be the motto of all persons who have visited the governors office this week Someone found nickel on the floor and in order to test the honesty of callers, placed 1t in tray on a table, believing the nickel would disappear. An inspection of the tray was made Thursday. and instead of finding an empty box the money had grown to fl cents. It seems that every person who came near the tray feared that he would be accused of removing the money donated from his own funds.

 The Arabs claim to have 100000 troops ready to cooperate with the Turks in Cilicia and Anatolia. Ap- parently they are willing oaccept French advisers.
