 vents Second Primary
OFFICIAL VOTE ANNOUNCED
Hal J. Copeland WIthdraws From the Race for Police Commissioner, and Warren, Jones and Brown
 Are the Nominees.

George B. Ward will be the next mayor of Birmingham.
 At a late hour yesterday afternoon Charles s. Simmons, who received the largest number of votes next to MT. Ward. decided to withdraw from the con- test and prevent the necessity of sec ond primary.
 Many of Mir. Simmons friends urged him to go Into a second primary but ai- ter carefully considering the matter nc decided that MT. Ward was the choice of the people and that he would not stand in the way of his nomination.
 Last night MT. Simmons gave out a statement explaining his position, which appears in full on this page of The Age Herald.
 Late yesterday afternoon Mr. Ward made the following statement:
 q am very grateful to my friends for their support and if elected mayor l will endeavor to prove myself worthy of the trust imposed in me. believe my election is a protest against the extrava- gant administration of municipal af- fairs"

teresting and quite lively at times.
 MT. Hawkins Makes Statement.
 In speaking of the action of the sub committee, Committeeman Hawkins who lead In the opposition said after the meet ing:
 At the meeting of the subcommittee tonight cer.ain proceedings were had that l voted most emphatieally against. knew at the time that I did so, simply on the face of 1t, that I would possibly be criticised, but at the same time was simply carrying out the dctations of my own conscience. l did not know when the committee as a whole was in ses- sion that there was anything doing" but as I was leaving the hall was ap- preached and notified that the sub-com- mittee was in session. The proposition that was sprung was whether or not we would put the city officers on the ticket next Monday. l was dumbfoundedl My impression has been that they would not be put on until the next primary. which will be two years hence. I took the floor and argued that that was the impression abroad and that we would be taking cnap judgment to do this, but l was promptly voted down.
 Now my position originally was against the officers going on the ticket
 
 init the matter to the people and then at later day to place these names on the ticket If the proposition carried The night the vote was taken l was under the impression that it would apply just one week from the first primary, but on the following morning I was correct ed and the resolution was shown me. This proved to me conclusively that 1t would be two years hence and today is the first animation that had that it would be construed differently. On that account I took the position last night and now do that we are taking the of fleers unawares and putting them in ar awkward position It seems that the proposition of placing them on the ticket has carried overwhelmingly and thinl in the face of that vote they should b, placed on the ticket, but l do protes against than going on next Monday.
 '1n view of the foregoing facts asl that sufficient number of the commit tee join mo today in call for a meet ing of the committee as a whole to con slider this proposition then we can abid by what a majority of the committee a a whole consider best"

When the Eighth ward box was reached Committeeman Herbert moved that inas- much as R. Ely Cooper did not pay his entrance fee as an alderman from that ward that no count be recorded of his vote against II. B. Gray
 Committeeman Smyer did not think that such action was necessary. inasmuch as MT. Gray had been reelected.
 Chairman Abernathy said that he had conferred with two lawyers with refer ence to the matter and that they had disagreed He said he wanted Ito put himself on record, however, as being op- posed to such "gumshoeing" as to an- nounce for office in a democratic primary and fail to pay an entrance fee"

Prophet, Lays Plans for
February.

The storm diagram shows that
the month beg1ns on the central
day of the regular storm period,
with the full moon in perigee on
the first, and a Mercury period
approaching its center. The first
stage of this period will fall in
the last two days of January,
that is, change to warmer with
barometer falling in the west,
and the winds shifting to easterly
aud southerly. By the lst. storm
areas will begin to form over the
western parts of the country.
marked defressions. of the baro-
meter will be moving eastward,
and wide areas of rain and snow
and sleet will pass eastwardly
across tne country during the 1st
to the 4th. Ordinarily cold
wave and blizzard would appear
before the 4th. but the Moon does
not pass the celestial equator un-
til the 4th, hence the storms of
this period may not reach bliz.
zardous proportions until after
that date. The Mercury distur-
barce continues UP to about the
10th, hence cloudy. murky. sleety
weather will continue in all pro-
liability into the reactionary Pc
r;od central on the 9th, 7th and
9th. If heavy snow and sleet
storms do not appear during the
6rst four days of the month, such
o,1fns will almest cestsinly Dc.

But the chances for marked win
ter storms on and near the first
day of the month are many. Up
on the whole, much threatening
weather, with severe winter
storms are almost certainties du-
ring the first eight or ten days of
February, or until the Mercury
influence subsidies. This will
prove one of the most general and
destructive sleet periods of the
winter, and at least one severe
cold wave may be counted on.
Two are quite probable, one not
far from the 1st, and another on
and about the 9TH and 9Th. Those
who live out on the great plains
of the west and north should exer-
else prudent watchfuluess for
themselves and their live stock at
this time. In the nature of the
case the Mercury period groups
the first two storm periods of the
mouth into one prolonged spell of
threatening weather, and severe
winter storms.
The third storm period is GEN.
trail on the 18th and reaches from
the 10th to the 10th. Falling ba-
rometer and general storms of
rain and snow will return about
the 14th, 18th and 10th. This
period will eliminate about the
time of the new moon on the 10th,
bringing storms of tropical ma
ture southwark, with change to
blizzardous features in the west
aud MOI tn. This period is also
prolonged by the new moon on
the 10th almost up to the reac-
tionary storms about the 18th to
10th. If rising barometer and
cold wave follow Immediately
after the new moon on the 10th,
a sudden revulsion to storm condi-
tion will reappear about the 18th
to 20. These storms will also be
followed by high barometer and
cold wave about the Goth to 22nd.
Tne last regular storm period for
February is central on the oath,
its disturbing influence reaching
from the 22nd to the 9th. The
first stages of this period will
bring change to much warmer in
western parts--winds will change
to southerly and easterly, the ba-
rometer will fall, and hygrometer
will show increasing humidity
and more storm and rain, turning
10 snow on the north side, will
pass eastwardly over the country
from the 24th 10 9th.
AS the month goes out general
ly fair. aud colder weather will
prevail. In the western extremes
reaction 10 warmer will have set
in, and the barometer will be fall
ldg preparatory for the reaeti n
ary storms due the first three
days of March.
