BELIEF IS STRONG THAT WARD HAS WON Hawkins Tells Bradley Present Commission is Doomed THE MAYOR SAYS NOTHING Policemen Petition MilIer-CiviI Serv- ice Regulation Will Conflict With
 City's Plans-Department
 In a Stew.
THE MAYOR SAYS NOTHING

The impression prevailed in Birmingham yesterday that Mayor Ward had won his light against the present police commis- sion and that that body was doomed
 According to this rumor, the Jeffer- son county delegation has agreed to sup port bill abolishing the commission as it stands today and to have new com cission consisting of three members, one of which is to be the Mayor, who will serve as chairman. According to this plan, the other two members will be appointed by the governor. the one for a term of two years, and the other for a term of four. By this plan, there will always be "holdover' commissioner.
 It was discovered yesterday afternoon that this rumor had it's foundation in Q long distance telephone message received by John Bradley, clerk of the criminal court, from James F. Hawkins. at pres ent in Montgomery. MT. Hawkins inti- mated that a' certain compromise had been effected, the exact terms of which are unknown Mir Bradley went to Mont gomery yesterday afternoon.
 Nothing positive from the Mayor. him
 
 Ward is evidently saving wood' and saying very little. It was learned author itatiyely yesterday afternoon, neverthe- less, tbat the interview with Mayor Ward contained in The Age-Herald of yester- day morning in special from Mont gomery, to the effect that he had stopped his efforts to abolish the commission. and was interesting himself in behalf of the Greater Birmingham measure, had been misconstrued
 It was reported that the Mayor has gained his point through compromise as concerns the Greater Birmingham bill although the particulars of this alleged compromise are not known.
 The police department, pending legisla- tive action, is in a turmoil.
 1t is said that in case Mayor Ward gains control of the commission, several of the present wearers of the blue coat will lose their position. Mayor Ward has stated his opposition to certain members of the force.
 Yesterday the police officers, rather q certain percentage of that body circu- lated a petition asking Senator Miller to enaeavor to have passed the civil service bill before adjournment next week. The house has already passed it.
 l There seems to be an understanding that ] the passage of the civil service regua- l ton would prevent the falling off of some heads, because that regulation makes the present force intact for life. except in individual cases of miscon- l duet.
 Those members of the department, how l ever. who are assured of their continued employment, whose records are and have l been clean, are rather indifferent They 1 are saying very little and instead of busy 1 ing themselves with petitions, are silent ly discharging their duties. As Chief Wier stated in The Age-Herald yesterday morn- ] ing. he and his men are not taking sides. According to him the strife is between the powers which be, and while the bone of contention does affect the department it is not needed that he take issue.

Ship Subsidy Bill.

Although the rule for the consideration of the ship subsidy bill was adopted by the House yesterday afternoon by ma jorty of 36, there is much question as to whether the bill itself will pass that body.
 Indeed the outlook today is that it will not unless it be in modified form. There are republican members of the House who voted for the rule who will decline to support the measure itself, and among them are said to be members of the com mittee on merchant marine and fisheries, from which the bill was reported.
 The adoption of the rule is regarded as a slap to the subsidy interests, which will thus be shown that their friends in Con gross had at least succeeded in getting the opinion of the House on the proposi- tion.
 One republican member of the merchant marine committee said this afternoon that the prevailing belief among his associates was that no ship subsidy bill could be passed at this late day in the session. even though it should go through the House. It would, he explained, probably be so tangled in conference that failure would result.
 Members who favor the bill acknowl, edge that whether justly or unjustly, odium would be attached in some sections of the country to those who voted for it, and while they would assume this re- sponsbility if they thought the measure would become a law. do not care to court criticism without anything practical hay ing been accomplished.
 If the bill should fail at this time, 1t is believed that this would put a quietus on the agitation along this line for years to come. The bill will be voted on Fri day afternoon
