Underwood, senior senator from Alabama, was asked by the Mobile Kiwanis club yesterday afternoon to throw his hat into the ring as candidate for Pres ident of the United States, and all clubs in the state were requested to get informa tion to MT. Underwood be- Nfore next Tuesday, giving assurance of unqualified indorsement of his candidacy.
 A resolution offered by William B. Mcleod. after he had asked about the propriety of such matter going before the club for action. was unanimously ratified. The club asked other Xii wanians to express themselves before Senator Underwood makes his Sddrc ss | efore a joint session of the Alabama house and senate next Tuesday.
 Records in Mobile, it was stated yesterday do not show that any other luncheon club, operating under charter from international offices, has given indorsement to the sug- gested candidacy of the Alabama senator. The Mcleod resolution went through without discussion after the author had briefly referred 70 club rules regarding such procedure pl csi- dent w. B.

GADSDEN BUREAU ! THE AGE-HERALD I Gndslen. Ala. ,IulN 25

Hanging a sign of welcome across Main street may be fine proffer of hospitality, but it will never bring any industries to Gadsden, according to Zac ?. Smith, general industrial agent of the Southern railroad, who was entertained at luncheon Wednes- day by the Chamber of Commerce. He said that near expressions of any sort are not worth much, but that the thing for the Chamber of Com merce to do is to get out and sell Gadsden. He called attention to the fact that the factory owner looking for site wants to know about the accessibility of raw material, the supply and cost of power, the labor supply and it's efficiency, transpor- tation and management. In the lat ter essential he included the attitude of the people toward corporations and their willingness to invest their own money in factories. Mir. Smith was invited here to aid in launching a campaign for more factories for the Gadsden district.

Denver Pastor Found Guilty Of Nio-
 IatiOm Of PrOhibition Law

DENVER, Col, July 25.-Rev. Father Walter A Grace, a Roman Catholic priest. was found guilty of violating the prohibition law by a jury in federal court Wednesday.
 Father Grace, whose ease had at tracted nationwide attention, was charged with forging the name of Sister Germaine to an application for five barrels of bonded whisky from a government warehouse here.
 The jury was out less than an hour. Judge J. Foster Symes has deferred passage of sentence upon the priest pending a hearing Saturday on the motion of Father Grace's counsel for new trial.
 The priests attorneys made their final arguments m d crowded court room during the morning, after fail ing to present single witness in his defense. They urged the jury to con- sider the alleged offense as cominG 2 under the provisions of the Nolstead act, rather than under internal reve- nue regulations, as presented by the prosecution.
