THE OFFICE SHOULD SEEK THE MAN,"
 THIS IS SHIBBOLETH OF CITIZENS UNION

signed the agreement for the Citizen Municipal Union.
 The Ward Union will hold it's first public meeting Tuesday night at the court house. At that time a declaration of principles will he adopted. formal and permanent organization will be af- fected and the Union will be launched upon it's career.
 While the movement has assumed more definite and important shape in Ward the citizens of other wards interested In municipal reforms have not been idle. Following the example of the original moves in Ward 3 prominent citizens in Wards l. 2 and are quietly at work forming unions in their wards.
 So far wards and are the only sub divisions of the city in which no move ment Is under way. It was said the voters of those two wards would be actively canvassed in the formation of Ward Unions The men interested say that all wards will have Unions and all will cooperate in the selection of good men for municipal offices.
 Reform All Along Line. They hold that 1t would he of small use to the city to have good men named from one or two wards in the city, whose efforts for reform might be antagonized by men in the Council from other wards and by a Mayor who might not be in sympathy with the campaign for good government and municipal reform.
 The Citizens Municipal Union of Ward which led off in the movement originated in a meeting of leading citizens of the Ward held at the home of w. M. Teague. At the original meeting there were present about fifty qualified voters Captain w. B. Jones was made chairman of the meeting and s. J Well was selected as secretary. After discussing the purposes of the proposed Union and ways and means for forming an effective and ag- gresslve Union 1t was decided to name a temporary executive committee of ten members who should be charged with the duty of completing the enrolment of the qualified voters of Ward 3. The commit tee was further instructed to prepare rules and regulations for such a union.

Tho following gentlemen were named upon the temporary Executive Commit tee: c. F. Morltz. A. E. Garland, J. c. Virden, pr. F. c. Stevenson, E. b. Creath. T. Gardner Foster. M. B. Houghton. P. H. Stern, William Teague and w. B. Jones.
 Purpose of Union Defined.
 The committee immediately st to work. It prepared the following statement of the purpose of the union, in form of an agree ment which was presented to the voters of the ward for their signatures:
 We, the undersigned citizens of Ward Three. believing that our municipal af- fairs may be strengthened and improved by a more concerted scticn of those most directly interested, and still further be- lieving that the method of city elections Is in a great measure responsible for the evils that have crept into our city gov ernment, and being desirous of correcting the principle of the man seeking the office instead of the "ofiice seeking the man." urge all good citizens and voters of Ward Three to form a Citizens Muni- cipal Union Cor the purpose of discussing a plan which will meet with general fa- vor. not only in our own. but other wards of the city, so the spirit of reform may be extended to all elective offices. to the end that the best interests of city and citizens may be subserved.
 The committee then began its task of securing the Signatures of the qualified voters of the ward. All of them were rot seen the committee not being able to find all of the voters. Of the 425 voters in the ward, more than POO have signee the agreement to cooperate with the union.
 Voters Readily Agreed.
 .E %6o x114tf tfaa terday that the committee expected to have 75 or 30 per cent of the voters acting with the union before the municipal election of next spring The members of the committee were much gratified with the reception of the movement by the voters of the ward It is said in nearly every instance the voter expressed his willingness to join in the movement as soon as the nature of the union was ex-

Committee Will Not Report to
 City Council.
Residents of Some of Suburbs De- mand Protection of Montgom- cry City Government, Others
 Bitterly Oppose Ex-
 pansion.

The matter of annexing the suburbs to the city of Montgomery is a live question and promises to burden members of the City Council and members of the next Le gislature.
 The appointment of a special commit tee from the City Council to define the proposed boundaries of the city of Mont gomery to take in the adjacent suburbs, as was expected. aroused a small storm of annexation and anti-annexation agi- tation.
 The committee was instructed to make its report at the regular meeting of the City Council next Monday night, but 1t is hardly probable that the report will be ready for tomorrow nights meeting.
 It was said yesterday that the import ant report of the committee would be submitted at a special meeting of the Councfis to be held some day this week.
 The special committee. 1t will be recall ed. was appointed at the last meeting of the Council upon the receipt of com- munies ton from Mayor E. B. Joseph. ac- compariied by letter to the Mayor from City Attorney Bib5 Graves The City At torney's letter called attention to the provision of the new Constitution making it obligatory upon the city government to advertise in a city paper the proposed change of its municipal boundaries thirty days before the introduction of the bill in the Legislature.
 Acting upon the communication of the Mayor and the City Attorney, the Coun- cil, by resolution, created a special com

In the directors room of the First Na- tioral Bank yesterday was held the an- nual meeting of the stockholders of the South and North Division of the Louis- vile and Nashville Railroad.
 The old Board of Directors was re- elected, as were also the old officers, and the report of the condition of the road was most satisfactory showing

AGITATION OF ANNEXATION
 CAUSES MUCH PERTURBATION

mittee to report upon the proposed changes in the city charter and the oity boundaries. Aldermen Rushton, Ander- son, Cheney, Johnson, Toole and Fleming were named on the committee.
 A member of the committee said yes terday that no meeting had been held and that 1t was very improbable that the committee would be ready with its re- port Monday night He was of the opin- ion that a special meeting of the Council would be held during the week, at which the committees report would be submit ted
 The boundary lines. as set out in the Montgomery charter bill, which failed to become operative two years ago, have been copied by members of the commit tee from the records on file in the ofiice of the Secretary of State but 1t is probable that the committee will in some degree modify the boundaries as prepared two years ago, although they will no doubt form the basis of the committees report.
 In the meanwhile the property owners in the suburbs which are likely to be taken into the city have not been idle. The members of the committee have been called upon both by annexationists and anti-annexationists. Beyond doubt a number of the suburbanites will fight against being brought into the city. It Is said. however. that the anti-annexa- tion sentiment Is not so strong as 1t was two years ago
 One of the Aldermen upon the special committee said that he had been called upon by two owners of property in West End, who objected to being brought into the city and urged that the manufactur- ing suburb be left out. On the same day he was waited upon by a delegation of West End citizens who asked him to use every effort to have that suburb an- nexed to the city.
 The delegation told him that if West End was not annexed so that 1t could get the benefits of the city government that the citizens would unite in incor- porating West End and have 1t given by the Legislature the municipal govern ment which has been extended Highla nd Park.

ARGUED LOWE CASE
SUPREME COURT WITHHoLDS
 ITS DECISION.
Lawyers for Eighth District Answer ed Allegations of Neglect by Saying That Defendant Was
 Providentially Afflicted.

Demurrers to the bill of inuformation in the impeachment proceedings against Solicitor R. H. Lowe of the Eighth Jul dicial District were submitted to the Supreme Court and argued yesterday by MT. Lowe's attorneys.
 The court took the demurrers under advisement and will rule upon them at a later date.
 The original bill of information charged Solicitor Lowe of Huntsville with wilful neglect of duty, physical inability to per form the duties of his office and with drawing salary from the State which he had not earned. The impeachment proceedings originated last spring in the report of two grand juries in Solicitor Iowes circuit. Based upon the findings of these grand juries the information in the impeachment proceedings was filed by Attorney General Brown.
 The demurrer filed yesterday claimed that the information contained no ground for impeachment. It was alleged in the demurrer that the Information did not show. nor tend to show any grounds for impeachment. The information, the de- murrer declared, did not show anything connected with the wilful neglect of his duty by Solicitor Lowe.
 The demurrer averred that physical in competence was not ground for removal from office. It said that the Constitu- tion does not provide that physical af- fiiction shall be the basis of quasi crim- iral proceedings.
 It was further alleged that the infor nation did not show that Solicitor Lowe had brought his affliction upon himself by his own acts nor was it alleged that the disability vas not providential in it's nature.
 Arguments were made on the demur- rer by R. J. Lowe, John c. Eyster and, Sterling H. Wood attorneys for Solicit or Lowe, and Attorney General Charles C. Brown, representing the State.
 The court announced that the demurrer would be taken under consideration to be ruled upon at a later date. An ad- journment of the court was then taken.
