BIRMINGHAM IS DISAPPOINTED IN CENSUS FIGURES Birmingham is so disappointed over the 1920 census giving her >78,270, that she is making every ef •of-j to secure a recount. Th# Birmingham News, in an edi torial following tne announcement from Washington, expresses the Birmingham spirit as follows: ‘'Birmingham is disappointed. ' “Birmingham will not bear its disap pointment without vigorous protest and an earnest attempt at redress. “The figures announced from Washington Tuesday morning are at least 25,000 below Birmingham’s actual population, and while tWre is much cause ’for gratification in Jre fact that this city passed several others over the country that stood higher in the count ten years ago, Birmingham wants its real population published to the world. “The fact that Birmingham’s rate of growth in the past ten years was nearly 5 per cent greater than Atlanta's will be pleasing to most, persons, but one cannot get away from the fact that in the popular mind, at least, the gain on Atlanta has been much greater than a mere 5 per cent. “Every effort should be made promptly and effectively to obtain a recount. There has been widespread disappointment over the country generally at the population fig ures announced from time to time, and doz ens of cities and towns are reported to have lemanded recounts. Each of these cases rill have to be judged on its merits.

MAY ESTABLISH TEXTILE SCHOOL AT GEORGIA TECH BY ARMOND CARROLL QUEBEC, Canada, July 1. —The Cotton Manufacturers’ Association of Georgia Wednesday night recom mended to the members of the asso ciation that tlie individual mills of the association contribute the sum of $500,000 for the establishment and maintenance of thoroughly equipped textile school at the Georgia School of Technology, and that mills outside the association be urged to contribute their pro rata share to such a fund. The resolution, as adopted by a unanimous vote, called for the execu tive committee of the association to refer the matter to the individual mills for immediate action with the favorable indorsement of the asso ciation. Another resolution adopted called for state legislation to make school attendance compulsory for eight hours or more per week for all chil dren between the ages of fourteen and sixteen employed at work other than agriculture, and further that part-time schools or classes be or ganized where warranted for boys and iris so employed, this school work to be made vocational in na ture as rapidly as possible.

CLAIB SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., July I. Oratory here was as bad as it was at the’ Republican convention. But briefer. Former Congressman Fitz gerald, a great New York humani tarian forced through a rule limit ing each speaker to twenty minutes gab| Some day he hopes to abolish speeches by law. The bird who blew a fishhorn just as a woman was pinning wings to Mitch Palmer in a seconding speech got the best laugh of the day. A hero, when he said he would take one minute to nominate Mere dith, Claude Porter, of lowa, after fiften minutes talk, left the platform a heckled and subdued .party. If Homer Cummings does not get this nomination, he can blame the band leader. After ohn S. Crosby had thrilled the convention with a bejeweled speech, a pompadour and neat fitting katydid, coat, the band struck up "America.” Everybody stood, and, according to custom when the anthem is played, got solemn and then sat down quietly at the end, forgetful of Homer’s boom. "Oh, you beautiful doll,” played by the band when Mrs. Susan Fitz gerald, a Boston grandmother, seconded Owen made her blush like a school girl. Mrs. Gavin McNab has the distinc tion of being the only woman who has addressed the meeting twice. She spoke yesterday on a resolution and today on seconding a patriot. Al Burleson, the postman, pulled up lame and late at the speaking. His dogs bothered him s o last night in the Palace lobby that he draped him self over a mail box and stood on one foot like a crane. udge Cas Welch, of Kansas City, who never harmed anybody, got a message from home saying that he was being homed by his enemies for vice president. George Creel who is putting commas in the platform, told me con fidentially today that he is making so much dough out of memory train ing that he does not care if gas goes to a dollar a pint. The first set of whiskers brought officially to the platform were fast ened to the chin of U. N. G. Cherry, of South Dakota, who idehtified Am basador Gerard as a candidate. During the Palmer demonstration a marching BTorlda delegate whooped her up in the shahows and read a letter from home whenever he got in the spotlight. Hiram Hyde, Shot by Dalton Mayor Pro Tem., Dies of His Wounds DALTON, Ga., July I.—Hiram Hyde, cotton mill operative, last night shot and fatally wounded by Carter L. King, mayor pro tem. oi Dalton, died early Thursday as a re sult of the wounds. Hyde figured in divorce and alimony proceedings between King and his wife, and the two men met Wednesday night on Hamilton street, a quarrel resulting which ended in a fist fight, several blows being passed after which King drew a pistol, it is said; and shot Hyde, the first bullet entering the body, and as Hyde was running into Jesse Holland's store, a second bul let passed through his arm. Mayor Wood, being absent as a delegate to the Democratic conven tion, King was acting mayor of Dal ton. Earlier in the afternoon, Archi Car-gal shot Cart Puryear through the thigh at Puryear’s home in North Dalton. The trouble between the two had as its beginning Mrs. Cargal’S divorce proceedings against her hus band, Mrs. Cargal being a sister oi Furyear. His wound is not serious. High Point, N. C., Gains 50 Per Cent; . Population 14,302 WASHINGTON, July I.—The cen sus bureau today announced the fol lowing population figures: High Point, N. C., 14,302, increase 4,777, or 50.2 per cent. Other figures follow: South Orange, N. J., 7,274; Baker City, Ore., 7,729; Perry township, Ind., 5,769. Increase since 1910: South Orange, 1,260, or 21.0; Baker city, 987, or 14.6; Perry township, 799, or 16.1. Revised figures on Terre Haute, Ind., announced today gave the total population as 66,083, an increase of 169 over the previous total. Editors to Meet In Nashville August 9 WAYCROSS, Ga.. July I.—The Eleventh District Press associatin convention, which should have been held several months ago, but which .was postponed on account of the ill ness of the editor of the Nashville Herald, who was -to entertain the association, will be held on Monday, August 9. according to an announce ment made by the Nashville Herald. “Although we had to put the meet ing off, and perhaps disappoint some of the editors, we are going to make up for lost time when we get ’em here,” says Editor Sweat. The asso ciation will be the guests of the Her ald and the Woman’s club, of Nash ■ ville, which has planned an elabo- I rate social program.

COBB. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July I. Yesterday wa§ devoted to St. Larynx, chief patron saint of North Amer ican politics. In his honor, the un clarified Democracy conducted the customary rites and ceremonials. Nearly everybody who had a speech in his system—as who, indeed, did not so have?—was given an oppor tunity to train it off before it be gan to turn on him. t Not only was this in accord with the traditional ethical code of a na tional convention, but it embodied a sanitary side as well. Like the Mosaic laws, it had a backgrourtd of hygienic sanity behind its more> ritualistic aspects. You take a provisional orator and you let him churn his soul brimful of eloquence, and, in that state, you fetch him clear across a wide continent in the middle of summer, and along about the middle of the week you just naturally must let him open his spigot or else you run grave risk of having on your hands a malignant case of auto-fermenta tion, complicated with acute nervous disappointment. Such a person is liable to get caught out in a thun derstorm and clabber. Indeed, even on this rainless coast, some of the corn-fed Ciceros were already be ginning to go sour when this morn of deliverance dawned. preliminary rumors gave promise of a rich feast for those who loved the sound of the human voice up lifted in rhetorical outpourings. The program, as tentatively sketched, called not only for words of wis dom and statesmanship from vet eran sages who led the party in the days before it became a co-educa tional institution, but also brief re marks from some of the newly ad mitted female councillors, or, as say ing goes, sage-hens. The gallus is no longer the most common visible emblem of a shirtsleeves Democracy. The dress shield has come into its own at last, and the suspender walks hand in hand with the blouse that buttons down the back. Haw, the Human Geyser It was also reported in advance of the services that several newly dis covered and previously uncharted silver-tongued brethren and sistern would be given a chance to mount the rostrum and gargle the English lan guarde forth upon the convention air But, personally, I felt that I must continue to yield my allegiance to the dependable stand-bys of past conventions. For example, I craved again to harken to Ham Lewis, the human geyser of American politics. Unless I might watch Old Faithful spout I felt that the proceedings would lack a note hallowed and made dear by familiarity. And, as a lover of traditional institutions, I deplored Penitentiary Sentences For Everett Phillpot NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 1— Everett Philpot, former Nashville real estate operator and prominent churchman, who absconded with funds belonging to the Tennessee Baptist orphanage and sums belon ing to a number of Nashville peo ple, amounting to approximately SIOO,OOO in 1914. was sentenced Thursday to serve trom three to ten years in the state penitentiary on two counts of obtaining mopey under false pretenses, and trom one to five years on a charge of attempt at the same. He was found not guilty on a charge of forgery. He wil Ibe committed to the peni tentiary at onje and begin his sen tences, which will run consecutively. He is married and has one boy eight years of age. Philpot was captured in Portland, Ore., April 27 of this year, after a long nation-wide search. Same Odds Quoted on Wilson, McAdoo, Smith NEW YORK, July I.—Betting in the financial district today on the Democratic presidential nomination was on a basis of odds of 9 to a against Governor Alfred E. Smit.i of New York being selected. The same «_dds were placed against President Wilson and William G. McAdoo. Odds cf 6 to 1 against the chances of' Chairman Cummings were offered. Champ Clark was quoted at 6 to 1, and Vice President Warshal 2 to 1. took him back to his cot; In the Los Angeles jail. The multi-murderer was sentenc ed to life, imprisonment by Superior Judge Frank Willis, of Lbs Angeles. His concession, which was to be made public at once, was said to in volve the murder of nine wives and at least a score of bigamous mar riages. The confession was wrung from him on promise of life impris onment by District Attorney Wool wine, who said it would amaze the world.” "There is no story like it in the pages of crime,” said Woolwine. a tendency on the part of some to keep Mr. Bryan tightly caulked Could it be that Mr. Bryan’s vogue as a Demesthenian favorite began to wane when, politically speaking, he quit being a noun and became a verb? i This also was the day predestined for many little booms to wither away; many a one who had fancied himself‘a promising dark horse was pained to discover that he was merely a gelding. On entering the emerg ency hospital attached to the con vention hall I found one poor, pallid little thing stretched upon a cot, picking with listless fingers at the coverlid. At a second pitying ‘look I recognized It.- It was the Girard boom. It was at an early hour the Owen boom was found floating in the bay. The Oklahoma delegates have been requested to serve as pallbearers. From where I sat the Cox boom appeared t° be fading rapidly. Right before your every eyes you could see it losing flesh. And, yet no longer ago than Monday, it was blithe and hearty. Cox boosters, wearing virginally white trousers and striped bands on their hats, were here, there and everywhere. They were still about today, but the steam had evaporated from their ballyhoo ing, and the white panties had be gun to show a mottled effect of black dapples, like a snowfall in Pittsburg or a Dalmatian drop. Such is the way of many a prom ising boomlet. One day it is full of pep and the next full of embalm ing fluid. From wassail to under taker is but a step; and only too often the chief difference between yesterday’s loving cup and tomorrw’s casket is a matter of a few more silver handles. In this connection I have just heard an interesting bit of rumor. Should the McAdoo boom fail—and at noon it was reported as having a hectic flush in its cheeks and spitting blood —I understand Vice President Mar shall will do his sorrowirtg with reser vations. He will wear a mourning band on his left sleeve, but it will be striped red, white and blue, and, unless one listens closely, one will be apt to mistake his sobs for the sound of muffled cheering. Cobb Has a .Double In conclusion, I desire to arise to a point of order. There is here a fellow newspaper man from Boston named Mike E. Hennessey. I fre quently am being mistaken for him and he-for me. Certain persons pro fess to think we look alike as we sit in the press stand. Indeed wagers have been laid as to which one of us looks the most alike. To my knowledge this is the only one recorded case of mistaken iden tity where both parties to the trans action had a right to feel aggrieved. I make this statement deliberately after taking a good look at my un fortunate conferee. Also in the hope of avoiding further errors on the part of strangers I would cite this dis tinguishing difference. Mr. Hennes sey is a fat man. I merely am pleas urably plump.

M'ADOO'S STRENGTH SIME IS MN'S EIGHT MS AGO BY DAVID LAWRENCE (Copyright, 1920. for The Atlanta Journal.) SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 1. — Combinations work both ways. One hears it outlined in menacing pro portions that a combination of votes ia s been collected which will pre vent McAdoo from getting the neces sary two-thirds. This sort of talk proceeds naturally and inevitably from the camps of the opposing can didates who recognize that McAdoo is in the lead and that said lead must be cut down before balloting actually ’starts in order to brighten the prospects of their own men to accumulate votes in progression as the successive ballots are taken. But as the veto on McAdoo is con siderable, so is the veto held by the McAdoo forces over any other can didate. The strength of the former secretary of the treasury in this con vention is of the crusading kind that won for Wilson at Baltimore in 1912. His supporters will stick. The existence of an anti-combina tion might better be described as a ilesire rather than actuality. One of the so-called organization bosses from a midwestern state is common ly reported to be a part of the coali tion to defeat McAdoo. Today he was in conference with a McAdoo manager and practically promised support to McAdoo after a few early ballots. . Cummings Movement Serious Unquestionably the movement for Homer Cummings, of Connecticut, is the most serious factor affecting the chances of William Gibbs McAdoo. Scattering strength for Cummings is making its appearance in delegations from practically every section of the country. Men pledged to McAdoo are reported to be saying that if their own candidate cannot win, they will be glad to go over’ to Cummings at the psychological moment. This is a species of convention strategy not -unfamiliar to organiza tion politics. It is the effort at trading delegations for expected patronage if the nominee of .the con vention should win the election. Delegates who have been in politics for years rarely play just one can didate. They always throw an anchor to windward and get in on the ground floor with an expected winner, especially a dark horse. Then they usualy insist that the nomination was due to their strate gy. Woodrow Wilson has been told again and again how the deciding votes were cast for ihm in the fa mous 1912 convention. Reason For Dark Horse Talk So a great deal of the talk of a dark horse can be attributed to an early desire to begin trading on the future, especially if a deadlock is in prospect. Now it is obviously Impossible to tell how the delegates will vote after the first two or three ballots. The leaders have made mathematical cal culations to their own satisfaction but . the trouble about tabulating the vote in advance of the balloting is that the preponderance of strength is with McAdoo and there is an un dercurrent of support which is un mistakably ready to go to him when ever it looks as if he will be the winner. . . If the McAdoo forces hold tight, they will get up to 600 votes and push their candidate to the necessary 728. But the McAdoo strength will develop slower than that of any other candidate. The supporters of Mitchell Palmer will stick to him longer than most people have antici pated. The Cox leaders and dele gates aren’t going to give up with out a real struggle. Vice Presidential Talk Some talk is heard of promising the vice presidency to Cox if the Mc- Adoo votes should get to 600 and then making a serious effort to ac quire Ohio’s votes and others sym pathetic with COx to make the final 128 to put McAdoo across the two thirds margin. On the other hand the Cox people at this stage of the game aren’t thinking about the vice presidency and some McAdoo sup porters insist that if McAdoo is named, Victor Murdock, of Kansas, former bull moose leader, shall run for vice president. It’s all very well to talk about coalitions but the Democratic na tional convention of 1920 is not very easily controlled except on the issue of Wilson or anti-Wilson. There isn’t a one-third veto against the Wilson forces in this convention. If Mc- Adoo isn’t named, some out and out Wilson man will be. The people who are supposed to have formed an anti- McAdoo combination would not sus tain such a move if Palmer and Cox have apparently lost out. For then the common foe the anfi-,administra tion candidates, would be trotted forth. If McAdoo can’t win. the conven tion will be indefinitely deadlocked. Efforts in behalf of Homer Cum mings already are being made. There is a distinct drift toward him as a second choice on the part of both Mc- Adoo and Palmer men and even Cox supporters. But thus far the lead still is held by McAdoo with excel lent chances that his following will grow from ballot to ballot and with excellent prospect, moreover, that the anti-McAaoo combination will never function as smoothly as its analogy at Chicago which beat Wood. Freed of Charge of Killing Four Negroes COLUMBUS, Ga., July I.—“ Not guilty,” was the verdict returned in the case of Claud Goins, Charlie Hubbard and Bernard Vardaman, white men charged with the murder of four negroes in the woods north of Columbus last week, at the pre liminary hearing which came to an end late Wednesday after an all-day trial before Justice W. H. Hancock, at the county courthouse. And the quadruple Muscogee county murder is still a mystery. The three white men were released and no one is now held in connection with the crime. Officers are contin uing their investigations with little additional clues upon which to work, according to the high sheriff who has been quite diligent in efforts to run down the guilty party or parties in the case, Dry Inspector Wounded RICHMOND.
