Gossip of men
 and matterS
Advertisinx on Court Square.

Who rented the Court Square foun-
 tain as an advertising medium? And
 who collects the rent for Its use?" ask drawing attention to a big cloth sign
 ten feet high covered with fiaring red
 letters which obstructed view of the
 fountain from one entire side.
 Now look at that sign," he went on.
 T don't suppose that there is a man
 in Montgomery who would contradict
 the assertion that placing the sign
 there Is perverting the fountain in the
 worst possible way. That sign. in Its
 present position, Is reflection on mu-
 nicipal Montgomery. It is small and
 narrow public spirit which would en-
 dorse the defacing of the city's pride, defense can be entered against the of-
 fense of good taste.
 Now I do not know that the owner
 of the goods which are advertised for
 privilege of establishing that sign on the fountain. It Is possible that he
 was granted the permission without cost or contingencies. But since this
 thing has been done several times this year. the question arises. has anybody
 the right to pervert the use of the | fountain in any such way?
 If municipal property Is to be de-
 faced by commercial advertising. why confine 1t to one thing. the most beau l tiful thing that the city owns We ! might draw some income by making the patrolmen of the city sandwich | men. Hang these big sandwich signs
 on them as they walk their beats and | somebody will pay handsomely for the privilege of advertising on these signs.
 Then the walls of the city. building
 might be leased to enterprising circus agents. If the fountain can be used to ] advertise one thing. the city building could as justly be used to advertise a variety show or startling ballet. Why not rent out the advertising priv ilege of city wagons
 "Oh. a big field is opened up. Think l of how people crowd together to see the Fire Department make a run. Let's have advertising streamers strung to the hose wagons and engines. Mer- chants would jump at the chance to rent the streamers. If we are going into the advertising let's not go 1t in the small way which would conflne 1t to | the Court Square fountain.

Commends The Advertiser.

The meeting of the State Democratic Committee which adjourned this morn- ing after being in session over twelve hours almost continuously" said a mem- Der of that body was one of the most important in its history and I was muct struck with the patriotism of the committeeman. their desire to hear the fullest discussion of the cases and to act with fairness to the contestants and in the interest of the party.
 T cannot refrain from expressing my admiration of the splendid manner in which The Advertiser reported the meeting. To me 1t was a revelation. went from the committee room at 2:2O o'clock to a cafe and had luncheon and before I had reached my hotel The Advertiser was on the streets. 1 was therefore enabled to read every thing we had done and in the fullest, most accurate and entertaining style, before I went to bed. It was magi- cal. The report was so complete that nothing remained to be said. The handling of such a great volume of matter and in such quick time must involve excellent management and a trained corps of men, It simply shows that The Advertiser Is our leading newspaper in Alabama and 1t deserves continued commendation."
 All of the visiting Democrats re- turned to their homes yesterday morn Ing.

How Prisoner. Get Matches.

one Of the most ingenious of many schemes the prisopers in the Jail resort to Is their method of multiplying matches" The speaker was one of that fraternity who from long experi- ence on the inside of the jail knows something about its Inside workings" says The Indianapolis Sentinel
 You know we are not allowed to have any matches while we are in jail,' he continued. but there are ways and ways to obtain a few. Sometimes an occasional visitor gives us a couple, and If they fail us. there are the 'trusties' to be relied upon.
 After getting a few in our hands, then comes the matter of making as many out of a few as we can. We take each match. and using pin split the wood in two. The head will usu- ally divide. If you know how to do the trick. Then each one of these halves is again divided. thus making four matches out of the original one.
 Tt takes an expert to do this, but practice soon makes an expert, so that 1t Is often possible to get six. and sometimes eight matches out of the one"
 But what do you want with the matches?" was asked. You are not all lowed to smoke"
 Neither Is the small boy allowed to smoke by his fond parents, but there is always an old barn handy" was the eniRmatic response.

APPEAL ARGUMENT
IN SHOCKLEY CASE

Arguments on the appeal in the case
of the State Of Utah against James NJ,
shockey. convicted Of murder In the
first degree for the killing Of two street
car men In this city last January
while attempting to rob them, We're
heard by the supreme court today The
defendant was represented by Atty. H.
A. Smith while the state was repre-
scented by Asst, Atty-Gen, White,
There are 10 assignments Of error
relied upon by the attorney for defend
ant for new trial Of the case. There
are three cited In his brief and argued
by him today which are considered the
most important and upon which almost
the entire argument centered. The
first Of these Is the refusal of the court
below TO instruct the jury IN regard to
the testimony introduced TO show that
defendant had abandoned bis inten-
ton to rob the two men before the
shooting occurred and TO instruct the
jury as to defendants rights after he
had abandoned such purpose.
The second Is az 10 the action Of the
district attorney during the trial OF the
case In making defendant, over the
objection OF his attorney put ON the
hat and mask that he wore on the
night Of the crime and with his gun I'm
his hand, show the jury how he en-
tered the car to hold up the men. Such
action Il Is claimed by the attorney for
the defense was taken merely to preju-
dice the jury against the defendant
The third error OF importance II Is
claimed WAS the introduction Of testi-
mony on cross-examination OF Defend
ant to the effect that he had deserted
from the army Such testimony 1t was
argued was premdicial to defendant
ana should have been excluded, The
arguments win be concluded this after
noon and the case viii be taken under
Amusement by the court.
The matter OF the application OF
James II. Clark for writ OF habeas
corpus was also argued before The SUI
preme court today The petition was
denied by Judge Morse In the lower
court and an appeal was taken to the
supreme court Defendant was repre-
scented by Atty d. S. Truman
The appeal In the case of the state
OF Utah against Victor Peterson was
dismissed by the court upon motion Of
