LAST BATTLE IN
 COUNCIL MUDDLE
QUESTION WILL BE ARGUED BE. FORE THE SUPREME COURT TO- DAY-DEclsloN MAY COME AS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

Another chapter in the Ward-Parker contest for the chairmanship of the City Council will open this morning when the case comes up before the supreme court in Montgomery. s. D. Weakley, repre- senting Mir Ward, left for Montgomery yesterday, with the intention of submit ting the brief, and should the case be called as scheduled the attorneys for both sides will mage their arguments.
 This will finally decide the political status of Birmingham. Mayor Ward it will be remembered while at Montgomery in the early session. worked for the pas sage of the municipal code bill and as- sisted Huntsville in getting the passage of a section which allowed a city to adopt the code immediately, never dream ing that Birmingham would take advan- tage of 1t.
 During his absence in Europe the Par ker-O' Neill-Burnett faction made coup d'etat, and when he returned Par ker was president of t.le council. Imme- diately Ward barred Parker from the chamber and took the chair himself Parker went to the courts where he twice obtained the decision rom Judge Cole man, and last week he presided at the council meeting. An appeal has been taken in order to settle the uncertain status and as soon as the chief justices decide the squabble will be closed.
 A hearing on the police commission case has been set for next Thursday in the supreme court. Sam Will John will represent the Mayor and new commis- sioners and will file a brief as well as make an argument.
 In this case the appeal Is taken from decision of Judge Lane, which upheld Mayor Ward and the n W commission Hal J. Copeland and his attorneys are making a fight on the ground that the bill is unconstitutional
 The bench will probably take three weeks or a month to decide the two cases More than likely Birmingham will have all of her troubles strengthened out for Q Christmas present.
