BIRMINGHAM ISN’T IN HOMICIDE LIST; LOCAL POLICE ARE PUZZLED Th. pqllkation in The Georgian of :n census bureau report showing that Southern cities lead in homicides in this country and placing Atlanta fifth in the ’ist. has perplexed local polite c.Ti tals. It is all because the city of Birming ham is missine from tile list Recorder Broyles and Chief Reale s cant understand this Every other Important Southern city Is Included in the list. Atlanta officials are satisfied Bir mingham would show a much gteater percentage of homicides titan Atlanta, and "wouldn't be surprised" if that city didn't top the list—the unenviable po sition now held by Memphis. "It may be that the census officials merely forgot that Birmingham is on the map," remarked Judge Rroyies.

FIGHT Bealen at Election. They Start Movement to Change the City Charter. Fo towing their leader, practically the entire < hambers faction in the city government, badly beaten in the recent I election, is today urging commission government. When the agitation for a new eharte: was on last summer this . faction led the fight against il. The nomination of James G. Wood- | ■.ard for mayor has started more poii- I tics in the city government than has ; been seen in \nany a day. Despite the I pt offers of the olive branch by both factions, the chambers faction is fight ing with all its force. The fact that indications point to a dominance of the council by Woodward and the in dependents and tiie ultimate crushing of the chambers factions makes im minent an open agitation for commis sion government by the ojd Chambers supporters. ' | Mr. Chambers announced that he 1 would not fight commission govern ment. and many of the others who have stood with him in politics are private ly trying to launch a movement for a change of the city charter. “Man, Not Form. Counts." Alt. Woodward lias not staled his position on commission governmetit. He say s it is not the form of government that is vital, but the type of men who hold the offices. Declaring that he was not seeking any factional row, Mr. Woodward said that if some of the city officials did not stop so much of their petty' polities they would bring on commission gov ernment. The fight between James R. Nutting and James FL Warren, aidermen. for mayor pro tern has become purely a factional fight. Mr. Nutting is backed by the chambers faction and Mr. War ren is supported by the independents and the Woodward sympathizers. Today there was current a Report in political circles that Aldine Chambers 'would be named a police commissioner from the Ninth,ward. Two candidates are already In the field for the place. A. R. King and Dr. Linton Smith. Mr. chambers has pledged his vote as a councilman to Mr. King. Aiderman John S. Candler and Councilman C. W. Smith have promised to support Dr. Smith. These three members of the council from the Ninth ward will de termine the result, which, as the case stands now, would be the election of Dr. Smith. , Mr. Chambers lias announced that he will noi stand for the place. May Be County Attorney. It is also generally reported today' that Mr. Chambers will be elected county attorney to succeed L. Z. Ros ser on the first of the year. The office now pay's only $1,200 per year, but tvith the abolishment of the fee system on January 1 one attorney' is to be employed for all the depart ments at a salary of $3,000. Mr. Chambers is now attorney to Sheriff .Mangum Councilman Charles W. Smith. Ai dermen John S. Candler. James E. Warren. Councilman Claude C. Mason and others continued today to work on the plans for a reorganization of the cjty construction department. The first formal consideration of the matter w ill be a session of the special committee of ten 'Tuesday afternoon. B. HEARN WILL RUN AGAINST WOODWARD FOR THE MAYORALTY James G. W r oodward's path to the mayor's chair will not be undisputed. In spite of his overwhelming victory in the white primary, a champion has arisen to oppose the nominee and will go before the people at the general election. He is B. L. Hearn, who has sought office in Atlanta before. The new candidate has but one leg, but that doesn't prevent his running. In fact, he has shown aptitude as a runner on several occasions. He has sought the office of county coroner and city sexton more than once. In announcing his candidacy. Mr. Hearn declares he will support the policy of Chief Beavers in closing the restricted district.

S. Dunaway in Fight in Office. Mis S FTnily Nelson, pretty typist in the oflices of the Becht Piano Company, 110 Temple Court building, appeared today as the star witness in police court and related a graphic story of the recent stabbing of J. S. Dunaway, an official in the office, by Oscar Bowers, eighteen years of age, a typewriter repairer for the Royal Typewriter Company . -Hi North Pryor street. On the evidence of Miss Nelson, with that of R, P. Becht. head of the piano company, and W. W. Heckle, an offi cial of the typewriter company, all of them eyewitnesses. Re,-order Broyles bound young Bowers over to the state courts in bond of SSOO on the charge of assault with intent to murder. Dunaway still is in Grady hospital in a serious condition. Dr. Schwartz, of the hospital staff, however, testified that he virtually is out us danger, and that it is believed lie will recover. Dun away was stabbed twice near the heart. Dispute Over Repair Work. Miss Nelson and the other witnesses said the trouble grew out of a dispute over Miss Nelson's typewriter, which Bowers had gong to the piano office to repair. Bowers is said to haVe ac cused Dunaway of Having some one else to work on the machine, getting it in bad condition, and when Dunaway denied this, is said to have called Dun away a liar. A fist fight resulted, and Becht leaped between the two men to stop the trouble. When he did so, according to the witnesses. Bowers opened his knife, reached over Becht's shoulder and stabbed Dunaway twice. Bowers' statement varied very little from that of the witneses. He ex pressed regret over the affair, and add ed that "he had to do what he did.” Miss Nelson caused a ripple of laugh ter in the court room by an answer to ' Judge Broyles when she gave her name as a witness. Judge Broyles didn't quite eaten the name, and. with a smile, inquired: "Is it Miss or Air.-. Nelson?" ‘lt's Miss, your honoor; I’m not so fortunate as to be a Airs.." she replied with a merry laugh.
