Montgomery, February 5.-(Special.)
All bids of interest to Birmingham and
surrounding territory particularly will be
taken up at a meeting of the Jefferson
delegation set for o'clock tomorrow, at
which time several Birmingham citizens
will be present to make addresses. City
Attorney Ed Smith has been here sew
eral days, and with the aid of secre-
tary j. B. Babb of the Birmingham Com
mercial club, who arrived last night, ar
ranged the meeting.
There are a number of bills general in
nature, but local In effect so far as Bir-
mingham is concerned. Among these Is the
measure to provide for enlargement of
cities by the operations of which Bir-
mingham hopes to become Greater Bir-
mingham. 1t Is thought that the only
way to bring this about is by general
measure. This is the opinion held by Mr..
Smith and others There is a general
bill that relates to police commissions.
in addition to one that would repeal the
Birmingham commission.

Delnhin NJ. Delmar upon leaving the
courtroom had declared fatty that he was
dissatisfied with the days proceeolnes
and Intiinated that he was surprised that
the conduct of the defense for the day
had been entrusted to John B. Glea-
son rather than to himself.
DR. Charles G. Wiley, the Pittsburg
physician, who testiged for the defense,
was so sharply cross-examined by Dis
tr,ct Attorney Jerome, should not have

case today" Mr.. Delmar added, "and |
was surprised that Mr.. Gleason should
have done It."
II had been rumored in the court room
that Thaw was pleased with Mr.. Glea-
sons address to the jury ON MONDAY
and that he directed that Mr. Gleason
should take charge of the case today.
rrha,V's attorneys were closeted at At
.ornev McPicke's office well into the
evening and when the conference broke
nm nothing definite as to What trans
pired was made public
When Mr.. Delmar was asked what had
been done at the conference, the Califor-
nian replied; .
Il can say nothing at the present tlnle'
Messrs Hartridge and Gleason refused
IN discuss the matter After the lawyers
had left Mr.. McPicke was asked as to the
r,rnor that unless Mr.. Delmar was given
entire charge of the defense, he would
withdraw, was correct.
"As TO that rumor 1 can only say that
Won will have to await Developments
''Wil Mr.. Delmar withdraw from the
case tomorrow morning II MI Gleason
continues the examination
"As to that" replied the lawyer, fycu
,,,ll have to wait until court opens and
see for Yourself what goes on
Mr. NcPicke was then asked If he was
satisfied with the manner in which the
case had been conducted so far. He re-
piled;
What will be done will be made known
tomorrow morning, and you will have to
wait until then"
After the trial had adjourned Lawyer
McPicke visited Thaw in the Tombs. He
talked with the prisoner for about fifteen
minutes and when he left he refused to
make any statement.
Later a note was sent to the prisoner
asking him II the report that has law
yers had disagreed and his reply was
mo there is no truth In the report. 1t
is all nonsense"
Thaw did not appear worried from his
tedious day in court. IF he was disap-
pointed in the proceedings he did not
give evidence of the fact.

After eight months of hard, perse,,
rering labor III preparing the annual
Issue of the junior year book, the class
Df 1908 Will offer the second issue OF
The Utonian for the approval of the
public during the fore part of the com
ing week. In the school year which is
now closing. there has been no work
undertaken in any part of the school
along the lines OF student activities
which represents so much work and 50
much invested capital. 1t Is estimated
that when the business manager, Leo
4. Snow. has paid all the bills, his ac
counts will show that more than $4,000
will have been represented III the work.
There is no member of the junior
:lass who has not devoted his best tai
Bpts, all his energy, and much of his
time, to assist, IN making the work
success The book which is to be is
sued this week will be the second year
book published by junior class at the
University The first efforts in the way
Of issuing q book which should be com.

been carried on. up until last year. by
The editor of the school paper, 1.-THE
Chronicle" Each year thus work has
been enlarged upon. The last year
book issued by Chronicle staff was
issued two years ago. 1t contained
about one hundred pages of reading
matter and, considering the fact that
.hc editor was obliged to get out his
regular semi-monthly issue, spoke well
for the school.
The next step in the right direction
was taken by the present senior class
Last year they issued the first real Jul
nior year book ever issued at the local
Institution. As trail breaker it was
9 great success. There were certain
features about the book which have
been cradicated this year, and, at least
in the minds Of the Juniors, make IT a
much better issue.
Last fall, when the juniors entered
The University, their first move was to
select the staff which should be placed
in control Of getting out the issue,
which is TO be released during the fore
part of the present week. II was de-
cided that the issuing of the book
should be placed in the hands of man
uger and editor, and that these two
persons were TO be responsible for the
book. They were given authority TO
call upon whomsoever they saw fit to
assist in the work. Frank Holman was
selected TO act as editor. He chose as
his staff Miss Edna Harker and Leo
Marshall, associate editors; Miss Ivy
Cleghorn, literary editor; Miss Cora
Musgrave, artist; j. P. Russell and C.
W. Cornell, photographers. Leo A..
Snow was selected as manager of the
book. Around him he drew the follow
ing persons: Anton R, WINS, r. R.
Woolley, V. B. Herbst and Lacelle W.
Cummings.

to each member of the college senior
class. \ cut of the individual and
brief article telling in happy style the
value and in some cases predicting the
future of the individual, accompanies

Throughout the last three years there
has been the usual animosity between
the two upper classes, and the cartoon
which marks the close OF the discussion
of the seniors touches well their pride
rs the foremost, but on the rocks of
the cold cruel world their happy bark
seems to be falling to pieces.
The juniors next follow, and despite
the fact that they are the authors of
the book. they have refrained from Dor,
ing the reader with long discussion
of their inestImable worth to the school.
In fact, it is said that they have repre-
sentcd themselves most poorly In the
book but the issue stands as a monu-
mcnt to their ability, and after perusing
the 'Utonian, 1T appears that their
discretion Is only mark of their mod
esty.

The freshman class is next up to be

fair sample of what appears throughout

this contest marked the supremacy of

and bids fair this year to capture the

shown by the editor TO the arts school,
and by the manager to the engineering
school. but the retirement OF Mr.. Hol-
man at the middle of the year left an
opening in the EDITORS chair. The staff
of the book then recommended that A.

should be called upon to succeed Mr..
Holman Earnest Bowman was select
ed by Mr.. Snow to fill the position
made vacant by the advancement of
Mr., WINS.
Upon taking charge of the work Mr..

One of the most commendsbe fea-
tures about the book, and the announce.
ment of which will remove much fear
and doubt from the minds of the fac
ulty, is the fact that there are no rabid,
rancid cartoons on any persons con-
nected with the school There are many
cuts cartooning different persons about
the school, but IN no place In the book
has the editor taken the liberty to
leave any picture or remark which is
intended to pain or offend.
The book is profuscly illustrated with
halftones and zinc etchings of every
thing pertaining to school life There
are over 200 of these that appear in the
issue.
