 At Jefferson

 Leader

PARIS. Feb. 3.-The death of ex- President Wilson has revealed that, despite political differences of other days. ex-Premier Clemenceau. The Tiger" had deep admiration for the American leader.
 Clemenceau immediately cabled his condolences to Mrs. Wilson on learn ing of the ex-President's death. ex- pressing profound grief and saying that he retained affectionate recol. lections of Wilson. whom he considered one of the greatest of world figures.
 He pointed out that Wilson had re- tained great influence even after his retirement and that his advice had been sought with the great differences. Clemenceau added that during his re- cent trip to the United States he had been struck by the respect and consideration the American people felt for Wilson, whose every act had been dictated by loyalty. righteousness and a spirit of conscience.
 Clemenceau did not wish to give out a statement on the death of ex-Presi- dent Wilson, but it is known that despite their differences The Tiger admitted that the American leaders tenacity was due to sincere conscienti- ous opinions. It is known that Clemen- ceau believed that Wilson's attitude toward the Senate was a mistake, and also that this attitude resulted in tho isolation of France. But Clemenceau considers that the ex-Presidents att titude was due to his determination mad sincerity.

Wants Open Discussion Of Primary Plan Al Seaaiou 0f Com ruiffeA

 TUSCALOOSA, Ala, Feb. 3.-(Spe- cial. )-Edgar l.. Clarkson, member at large of the democratic executive com mittee from the Sixth district, in a telegram to members of the state demo- cratic committee has voiced opposition to plans for holding the democratic presidential primary in March.
 His telegram says in part:
 Ballots being sent out by the chair man of the democratic executive com mittee for mail vote authorizes the chairman who is also vice chairman of one candidates committee to appoint four others with himself as chairman to constitute q committee to provide regulations to hold, conduct and can- vass the presidential primary vote.
 'The result of such authority will be to permit the primary already con- strued unconstitutional and certainly unnecessary and undemocratic to be held and under regulation of a par tisan committee at an enormous and unwarranted expense to democratic voters or other democratic candidates or to someone, somehow unrevealed to members of the committee. Such action if taken certain should be after full and open discussion by the com mittee in session. As a member at large of the committee from the Sixth district l am protesting to the chair man and ask you to do likewise"

AMERICANS MIGRATORY Editor Indicates Contrast Between Young Men Here And In Europe

A young man in Europe looks for ward as a rule to spending his life in the city of his birth, and very likely, in the profession or business pursued by his father, says the New Republic. But in the United States. for POO years, large part of each generation has moved west and created new homes for itself. Nothing could more effec- lively foster individualism of the type advocated (and typified) by Herbert Hoover.
 This migra tory habit persists to the present day even when it has lost much of its economic justification. Ameri- cans are forever on the move the man who lives in the house where he was born is almost a curiosity.
 The sense of transience thus created leads also to a certain looseness of community organization, and specifical- ly to a toleration of corrupt practice in business and politics. The mayor of your town may be a bOodler; but after all, since you are thinking seri- ously of moving to Austin. Tex, next spring, what does it matter?
 The departure from the old Amer canism which was created so largely by the existence of the frontier. has natur- ally gone further in the eastern states than in the west which is, even today, much closer to pioneer conditions.

 Mir. Gregory said also that if it had been in his mind at the time of his telephone conversation with Mir. Cool idge that he had ever been employed directly or indirectly by E. l.. Doheny, whose company holds the leases to the California oil reserves, the matter would have ended at once.

 CAUSE DISSENT
Meeting Of Democratic Com mittee May Be Called To
 Settle Matter

Serious difference of opinion among the 50 members of the state democratic committee as to whether or not and how a presidential preferential primary should be conducted March II threaten the holding of the primary. it was learned Sunday night by The Age Herald.
 Objections to the primary began com ing to Mir. Evins immediately after he had telegraphed each committeeman a ballot calling for a vote to appoint<a committee of five to arrange and con- duct the preferential primary on March II.
 The ballot was sent Saturday, Mir. Evins admitted. but as yet none has been returned either as in favor of the subcommittee or against it. Asked if he thought the dissent of several com mitteemen indicated anythink like a tie-up on the question of the primary, Mir. Evins said he did not know.
 Eyins Silent
 q have nothing to say at this time 1; I don't know how the committeeman feel; am just trying to find out," he declared.
 Committeeman Arthur Fite and c. l.. Burton of Jasper and Edgar l.. Clark son of Tuscaloosa were the first to break into verbal dissent at the action of Chairman Evins. The executive com mittee of Marshall county followed al- most immediately.
 Complete silence was maintained by committeeman from the Jefferson county district.
 The complainants may succeed in calling a special meeting of the com mittee to discuss the primary as op- posed to Chairman Evins' plan to ap- point the subcommittee with himself as chairman to engineer the primary, Mir. Evins intimated.

FIRST BILLS CRUDE
As Money Was Easily COunterfeited
 Spurious Paper Flooded Country

So easily counterfeited were the first lots of paper money issued by the United States government in the Sos that spurious bills flooded the country, countless astute business men were vic timized. Finally, to balk the criminals, a book called "Health's Infallible Gov. ernment Counterfeit Detector at Sight" was published in 1870, says the Detroit News.
 In those old days money was printed on ordinary paper, which counterfeiters could easily obtain or initiate and. con seduently, such book as Health De tector," which concentrated on the de- signs on the bills was needed. Now. however, special brand of paper with special water marks, whorls and embed ded tiny silk threads, is used.

AT THE THEATRES
COMING TO THE JEFFERSON.

A week from today the film version of Victor Hugo's famous book, '.The Hunchback of Notre Dame," comes to the Jefferson theatre for weeks run.
 When Carl Laemmle first announced his intention of filming The Hunch- back of Notfe Dame," production ex- perts declared it was impossible, first because the French would not permit the historic and sacred cathedral to be used as a background and secondly that the cost of reconstructing it in this country was prohibitive. "C. L.,' as he is popularly called, went right ahead. If he couldn't shoot in Paris he could here and he did. He spent $5O0.O00 alone and reconstructed the entire cathedral at Universal City.
 Next, the literary world took up the cudgefs. Hugo's tale was too blood thirsty, too gruesome; but 70. L." smiled again, made changes, and took New York by storm. The impossible was accomplished, but the total cost is said to be in excess of $1 100000.

Means certainly is the ableSt invcs-
