la Mentioned for the Presidency of

Chicago University. Chicago. January 12.—Talk of electing

President Roosevelt as the successor of the late President Harper at the head of the Chicago university has become strong Jn university circles. It Is declared to have been one of the hopes of Dr. Har-

per during the last months of his life that the way could be cleared to have Presi- dent Roosevelt take the head of the uni-

verelty at the conclusion of hts presi- dential term. To bring this about It would be necessary to alter the constitution of the university which declares that only a

Baptlat may be president. Preeident Roosevelt worships In the Dutch Reform-

ed church. It has been definitely decided that the

final resting place of President Harper shall be In a memorial chapel to be erect- ed on the university campus. Until the completion of the chapel the body will remain In the vault at Oakwood cemetery.

OWEN NAMES DATE FOR m REUNION

April 25, 26, 27

JELKS NAMES DELEGATION

Alabamiahs In Congress Will Repre- sent the State at the Rivers and

Harbors Congress In Wash-

ington This Month.

Montgomery, January 12.—(Special.)— Dr. Thomas M. Owen, commander in

chief of the United Sons of Confederate Veterans, lias received notice that the

dates for the general reunion of the Uni- ted Confederate Veterans and the Sons, has been fixed for April 25-6-7, in the city of New Orleans. William McL. Fayssoux, former commander in chief of the Sons, is chairman of Camp Beauregard, Sons

! of Veterans, in the Crescent City, com-

j mlttee, and will have charge of the de-

| tails of handling the meeting of the

younger organization. At this time the Confederate Southern

Memorial association will also hold Its meeting, making three great bodies there at the same time. It is now expected that the New Orleans meeting will attract ful-

ly as many as went to Louisville last year because of the mild climate down there. Already there are movements on

foot to get a great crowd for Alabama, as it is expected that with the coming of the years the old fellows will drop off very fast.

Commander in Chief Owens has sent the word about over th§ territory that he

expects the Sons to do themselves proud in every way this year. He is urging a

large attendance so that the department may make a good showing. He will have to report theft the organization has done good work and formed many new camps and that the outlook for practical service, especially along history lines, is far bet- ter than he hoped for a year ago.

River and Harbor Work. The governor has appointed the Ala-

bama delegation in Congress to the rivers ai d harbors congress at Washington, January 15. This was done at the sugges- tion of the Mobile rivers and harbors friends who wrote the governor saying that there would be a delegation from that city and It was regarded as very

Important that there be a full and able

representation of Alabama men. Therefore the delegation to represent

Alabama will be as follows: Senators John T. Morgan and E. W. Pettus; Rep- resentatives in Congress Washington Tay- lor, A. A. Wiley, Henry Clayton, S. J. Bowie, J. Thomas Heflin, John H. Bank- head, John L. Burnett, William Richard- son and Oscar Underwood.

Mr. Burnett and Mr. Wiley have been very active for years in supporting Mr. Bankhead in the efforts to get appropria- tions for Alabama rivers and harbors. Mr. Bankhead is the democratic member of the committee of the House. Altogether the delegation has been active for the Mobile harbor.

Birmingham Company Licensed. The state Insurance commissioner this

afternoon licensed the Southern Mutual Aid association of Birmingham, against which he ordered the attorney general to proceed with a view of restraining them from doing business in the state some weeks ago. The secretary of the company, LeRoy Smith, paid over to the deputy Insurance commissioner, the Hon. H. R. Shorter, the sum of >570, be- ing 1 per cent on receipts last year and >20 license. It was not necessary to have this license before March li next, but the company had to get authority from this state before It could qualify In Virginia.

The proceedings ordered against the company by the insurance commissioner resulted from an examination made by the deputy commissioner and his report that the company was not taking care of certain ten year contracts. The papers with Deputy Commissioner Shorter's re-

port. were handed to the attorney general several days ago but he has deferred fil- ing suit against the company until a case

now before the supreme court and involv- ing the points in the contention is de- cided.

In the meantime there was no reason

for the commissioner to defer giving the license. The case against the organiza- tion must be tried out In the circuit court of Jefferson county. The law says: "The company or association Bhall be entitled to trial by Jury of the facts stated In the report (of an examination!, and shall not be forced to discontinue its business until Che verdict of the Jury is rendered sustaining the opinion of the insurance commissioner.”

Secretary Smith was very happy this afternoon Chat the matter was not to be held up, as it Is necessary to get the

Virginia situation cared for. He did not believe the Alabama courts were going to make them any trouble when all the facts are presented.

Fitts Announces. W. C. Fitts, former attorney general

of Alabama, has announced for one of any vacancies Chat may occur In the T’ntted States senatorship. In other words he is running as a candidate for endorse-

ment to Uie governor to be appointed in

case either place becomes open. Mr. Fitts Is now a lawyer of Mobile.

B. B. Cromer, candidate for Governor of Alabama, passed through the city to-

day. He declared himself entirely willing to abide by the action of the state com-

mittee. Horace Hood, editor of the Journal.

Sheriff Criticised. Assistant State Examiner W. F. Wil-

kinson has reported Sheriff Hall of' Marion county, due the state $45 with In-1 terest on two solicitors’ fees saJd to be, due and unpaid. The examiner says: The sheriff claims he paid them to the cle-rk, which the clerk denies. The sheriff has no receipt from clerk for the two fees. From all the evidence I could get I am I of the opinion that the sheriff is respons- ible to the state for the $45 with Interest. Hence I charge the same to him. His feed bills are correct and the affairs of his office, except as noted are in very good condition.

NOMINATION HELD UP.

Grave Charges Are Brought Against New Mexico Candidate.

Washington,- January 12. — Charges against J. W. Raynolds, renominated by the President as secretary for New Mexi-

co, were considered by the Senate com-

mittee on territories today, and the con-

firmation will be held up until they can

he inVestigatod. He is charged with be-

ing an offensive partisan. Former Dele- gate Rodey charged him with bulldozing the delegates of the last territorial con-

vention in order to accomplish the defeat of Rodey for renomination.

The serious charges against Raynolds are that when acting as governor he pardoned notorious criminals for political effect, that he had manipulated his office so as to secure large fees; also that he and former Governor Otero had by some

unfair means procured lands eight miles

wide on either side of an important stream

which they use for a sheep rjjj-ch. The

statehood fight enters into the matter

to some extent, and Raynolds is opposed by the faction which is seeking Joint statehood wifh Arizona.

ALDERMAN'S SEAT IS STILL VACANT

Peculiar Situation Has Arisen in Selma

ELECTION TO BE POSTPONED

A White Man Is Arrested on Suspicion and His Valise Contains Several

Watches and Some

Tools.

Selma, January 12.—(Special.)—There has

arisen a peculiar situation in Selma over

a vacancy in the City Council in the

Fourth ward. R. D. Berry, a member of

the council, resigned at the last meeting, which was held on Monday night, Janu-

ary 8. An election to fill the vacancy

was ordered for Thursday, February 8.

Just thirty days from that date. The city executive committee of the democratic

party met today for the purpose of call-*

lng a primary election, and was confront- ed by the proposition that the primary election law required that thirty days' notice would have to be given for the

holding of any primary in any political j sub-division of the state. There were some

members who contended that the ward of

the city was not a political sub-division as the county and state only recognized Selma as one precinct, but It was decided

that as the ward was a political sub-divi- sion of the city, and the city a sub-

division of the state, the ward was there-

fore a political sub-division of the state.

Resolutions were introduced calling a

primary for February 12, blit aA the city has called the election for eight days earlier, it was decided that possibly that j wouldn’t do, so a motion was made that an adjournment be taken until tomorrow,

the chairman being authorized t<$ And out

the legal status of the matter. It was

found by the chairman upon Investigation that assuming that the state primary election law referred to municipalities only those who had registered last April In the city election could vote In the pri- mary. As there were only about thirty registered voters in the city election, there not having been any opposition and little Interest manifested It, will give those few the naming of the new councilman.

The committee will meet again tomor-

row and the City Council will be asked to

postpone the election for about fifteen

days. Arrested on Suspicion.

A white man giving his name as W. S. James was arrested last night by the po- lice on the charge of being a suspicious character. In the little valise carried by the man was found a number of watches and a batch of tools which James declares he uses in repairing sewing machines. There have been a number of safes blown

open In this vicinity lately. Including the Thomston postoffice safe, and the au-

thorities expect to make a thorough In- vestigation as to the character of the sus-

pect. Local and Personal.

Mrs. J. U Edwards of Auburn and Mrs. E. P. Ltfcy of Washington have arrived in the city to attend the bedside of their brother, R H. Kennedy.

Mrs. T. W. Crews of Charlotte, N. C., is on a visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Nlel, on Oreen street. She was ac-
