DAVIS IS AFTER
 SCALPS OF COPS
Begins Proceedings in Circuit Court to Dust Policeman
 John Johnson

"Baldy' Davis is determined to have the scalps of the out-of-town policemen and has carried his case to the Circuit Court.
 Attorneys for MT. Davis yesterday be- gan quo warranto proceedings and bill is filed requiring John Johnson, resi- dent of East Lake and member of the police force of Birmingham to ap- pear and show cause why he should not be dismissed. The bill alleges that John sons election and retention is illegal, 1t being charged that non-residents of Bir- mingham are ineligible to hold office on the police force of this city.
 There are nine other members of the police force who will be affected if John son is busted, and his case is merely test.
 Some of the suburbanite policemen are very much worried over the proceedings and some humorous stories are told of the attempting to secretly move into the city. All such reports are strenousu- ly denied.
 The policemen living in the suburbs charge that A H. Davis, familiarity known as "Baldy,'' wants them dis charged because they made raid on his place on the Southside some time ago. Davis is a saloonkeeper.
