MoBBED THE WHITE HOUSE.
Judge stOry.S Description of the Jack
 son Inauguration.

Washington Post.
 As soon as Jackson had finished his inaugural address in 1929 the crowd made g headlong rush to the White House. and literally took possession from top to bottom. It was their day, their man, and their house. Jackson himself was crowded against the wall so that he couldn't stir, till a party of gentlemen surrounded him and rescued him just as he was beginning to get black in the face. Judge Story, who was present. writes:
 The reign of King Mob seemed tri- umphant. I never saw such a mixture The President was visited by immense crowds of all sorts of people, from the highest and most polished down to the most vulgar and gross In the nation"
 Pailfuls of punch were upset every where. the crockery and glassware was all smashed, and relief was only had by the stewards carrying tubs of punch into the grounds, where the thirsty and enthusiastic crowds followed, and order was restored.

Caused Little Surprise.

Announcement rom New York that the negotiations looking to the merger of the Southern iron companies of the Birmingham district were practically off has caused but little surprise. It is believed that when the stockholders and afterwards the directors of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company meet that sale of the stock in the company will be discussed. It was the Tennessee Company that blocked the game. The annual meet ing of the stockholders of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company will be held next Tuesday in Jersey City.
 Certain New York publications spoke of the negotiations looking to the mer- ger as only purpose to run up stocks. Officials of companies included in the deal here say that the negotiations were in earnest and that no pains were spared to bring about the deal. While the negotiations have been underway there has been an active sale of pig iron and all companies have sold ahead for three months at least.

Fridax Hanwmnn,s nnx.


 Friday will be hangman's day in Bir- mingham. On that day two negroes, Jud Braham and Alexander Robertson will swing into eternity for the murder of their sweethearts. unless the Cover nor or Board of Pardons interfere.
 Robertson has resigned himself to his fate and makes the best of life behind prison bars. He realizes that there Is no hope for him and he plays cards and otherwise enjoys himself with his fel- low prisoners.
 With Braham, matters are different. He has hopes of having his sentence to life Imprisonment, but at the same time has made his peace with his Maker and will be ready to die should the Board of Pardons refuse to grant the petition for a communication of sentence
 Chief Deputy Sheriff Albert strad- ford is engaged in writing out admis- sion tickets to the executioon. The first man will be hanged between the hours of 10 and II a. m, and the second be- tween II and 12 a. m. Who will be ex- ecuted first has not been decided upon.
 High School Building.
 Theo Poull X Company, the contrac- tors are making good headway on the new Birmingham High School building. The long season of bad weather which set in just after the contract was awarded delayed the work to no small extent, but the contractors are now taking advantage of the pleasant weather to push the work and as a consequence the foundation is practi- cally completed. A large amount of material is on hand and the construc- tion will be pushed with all possible vigor. The contractors have let all the sub contracts for material and the same is being rapidly delivered. Mir. Poull said today that he fully expected to have the roof on the building by June.
 Itsis expected that the Board of Ed ucation will take action without delay to advertise for bids for the plumbing. lighting and heating. which work Is to be separate from the general con- tract. Every effort will be made to have the building finished and ready for occupancy when the new scholastic year begins next September.
 The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Education will be held this afternoon and the question of advertis- ing for plans for the two new element ary schools in the Fourth and Seventh Wards will probably be considered. pro- vided the committee on location of the Fourth Ward school Is ready to make final report.

first asked for the discharge of Wynne and discussed shortly the other cases in which he pointed out the law. He said whether John Jones fired a shot didn't matter when his guilt was con. sidered, according to law. He pointed out that 1t was Jones who first started the fight. that it was he who returned to the saloon anticipating trouble and renewing trouble. The city attorney laid stress on Mike Jones's statement that he leaned over the counter and tried to shoot Trikulis after the latter had retired from the fusiiade. In re- viewing Trikulis's case he said the guilt of that defendant depended en- tirely on the courts construction of the three defendants-in-chief.
 MT. Mcleod followed Mir. Schafer. He said that according to the evidence Trikulis was only in the performance of his duty and was protecting his life. He was compelled by law to keep order in the saloon and he was obeying the law when he elected the disturbers. Then to protect his own life after Jones returned with his brother and after he had heard that Jones had threatened him. contended MT. Mcleod, was enough to show to the court that Jones was the aggressor even if he didn't Ire shot.
 How could Mike Jones be on the errand of peacemaker when he carried a pistol in his pocket and got the pis- tol after his brother told him of the trouble?" asked MT. Mcleod with em- phasis. Tt cannot escape the human mind that there was a collision be- tween John Jones and his brother against John Trikulis," he declared.
 Senior Jones's Appeal.
 Mir Jones in behalf of his sons re- viewed the evidence and asked their dismissal He emphasized the variance in Trikulis's testimony today with that Friday and Saturday.
 The father made an eloquent appeal for the sons, remarking of one broth CTS fidelity to the other and correcting the attorneys in their contentious.
 When Mike heard that his brother was in trouble what would any worthy brother or friend have done but inves- tigate 1t? Mike wanted to keep John out of trouble and for that reason he pocketed the pistol" said Mir. Jones. Colonel Quarles made a short appeal in behalf of wynne and Freeman. Warrants Changed.
 Mayor Atkins said he would be leni- ent with Freeman inasmuch as 1t was his first offense. although his quarrel with John Jones brought on the shoot ing. He fined him $25. The court held that Trikulis was innocent of breaking the law. although 1t did not sustain his testimony about John Jones and Frank lwynne shooting at him on account of the contradicting evidence. The war rants against the, Jones brothers were changed and Mikk Jones was charged with assault with intent to murder and John Jones with disorderiy conduct.
