BOY SLAYER RELEASED.
District Attorney Jerome Has Some
 Human Feeling.

New York, August 24-Thirteen-year- old Francisco De Basco was indicted yes- tefday for manslaughter in the first de- gree. He built a fire in Fordham park under the bench on which Mrs. Catherine Mccormick lay asleep, causing her such severe injuries that she died. Things might have gone hard with the boy. but when he came up for pleading in Judge Grains part of the general sessions, Dis trict Attorney Jerome, who had taken some interest in the case, appeared to speak in his favor.
 This boy" said MT. Jerome, had no appreciation of what he was doing. have made a personal investigation of the case. From all l can gather I judge that he built the fire of newspapers thinking only to frighten the woman He had seen other boys do the same thng-build bonfires under sleeping tramps in the park-he was merely initiating them.
 His parents live in Italy; he has only one relative in this country, brother, I think. What he needs Is some one to look after him, and I recommend that he be discharged and turned over the Gerry so- ciety.'
 Following this recommendation Judge Grain handed over De Basco, who looked much frightened, to Superintendent Jen- kins of the Gerry society, who said he would send him back to his parents.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,
Need for Schools.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Now that an election has been called by the Mayor and Aldermen of Wood lawn giving the citizens of that best of all suburbs of Birmingham a chance to vote on whether or not they will become part of Birmingham now, or whether they will wait until October 1. 1908. it will be my pleasure to mention several things to our people by way of reminding them that they should seriously consider inst what they are doing when they go to the polls, and 1t Is important that every citizen of our town go to the polls. wheth- CT he owns real estate In the town or Is merely renter. It seems that many people who live in Woodlawn are being talked to along improper and unfair lines and it is to these I wish to speak par ticularly now
 Some one or more people who are op- posed to becoming immediately annexed to Birmingham are making themselves very active either directly or indirectly towards preventing citizens of Woodlawn who are now only renters from manifest ing any interest in this election Now. whoever these people are, they know, better than anyone, that they have no right legally or morally, to interfere with any citizen or class of citizens quali- ned electors, from taking part in an elec- ton of as much importance as this is. If it were possible for all who own prop erty to vote, and all who did not own property to remain silent, the election might as well not be held, for it would be carried in favor of immediate annex ation by an overwhelming majority. This method of inducing non-owners to take no part in the election is unjust to the good people of the town, and I would like to be furnished with the name or names of those who are guilty.
 Before entering upon the campaign of education as to why it is best to go into Birmingham as soon as possible, I will first go into the reasons why 1t is best to. get rid of the government of Wood- lawn as soon as possible. On Sunday, August ?, there was published labor ious article headed "Woodlawn School Census Shows Gains" According to this article there are 2024 children of school age in Woodlawn. Now, let us see just what is the capacity of the three schools in Woodlawn at this time, and what VIII

the money, would it not be better that it were invested in a desirable piece of property that would make a park? We have no park, and the best piece of prop erty in the town suitable for park pur- pose has been allowed to pass into other hands. There is, however some place suitable for a park. and it should have been purchased rather than enter upon the erection of monuments to living folly.
 With this beginning, I want to ask the intelligent people of our town to be slow in being persuaded to follow the ad- ministration in their effort to prevent immediate annexation. I have many un- answerable reasons whq we should quick ly become part of the greatest city In the south. WILLIAM B. LINDSAY.
 Woodlawn, August IA, 190S

they must have known, or had reason to believe, that the number of children or school age was so much greater at this time, and there would be pressing need for all the school room that could be pro- yided. I contend that no greater mistake could possibly have been committed, Are there not some patriotic citizens in the town who will join me in taking necessary legal steps looking to the stoppage of this wasteful expenditure of the children's money? The children will need it in less than year. There will be no officials to be housed, and the present city hall would be ample, with a few hundred dollars in changes, to accommodate fire-fghting ap- paratus we will need. As to prison, which is provided in this great city hall, the modern method is to provide only some place for the temporary detention or prisoners pending their removal to the central station. It was claimed by one of the aldermen at meeting heretofore re- ferred to that 1t would eb good to have meeting place for our people such accommodations? No. Then why should Woodlawn's officials provide for such monument to their folly and our children's ignorance? With school ac- commodations for less than one-half of our children, we are sitting idly by and allowing $25,000 to be squanderedi It can and should be stopped. and only requires the cooperation of the right-thinking citizens of Woodlawn to do so. You will be told the bonds were issued for this purpose. True, but arrangements can be inade with the holders of these bonds by which their security can be had on schoolhouses that are used for educating our children rather than on an absolutely useless city hall.
 Or, if this disposition were not made of

Says He Is As Good Democrat

WARM MEETING IS HELD
H. T. Wallace, New School Superin- tendent at Brighton, Resigns To Accept Position at Fort Payne.
 Personal and General
q By j. F. LEE.

Bessemer, August 14-(Special.)-In a ringing speech tonight at his campaign headquarters, J. D. OGara set forth his reasons for running for mayor of Besse- mer. He criticised the local representa- tives of the press for having referred to him as an independent candidate for the office. and said that he would stand upon his rights as a democrat and show why he was entitled to the support of the democratic voters in the general cleo ton on the September 21.
 "I have compiled with the law govern ing such matters" he said, "and l have here the necessary papers to demand that my name go on the official ballot; and if it is not put on there I shall enjoin the election.
 "At meeting of the democratic execu- tive committee there was appointed a committee of three to wait on me- This committee has never appeared before me in the capacity for which it was appoint eessfully managed my own affairs am am going to appoint committee of three to wait upon Mayor Rush to ask him 10 get out of my way in the race-and they'll wait on him, tool
 T will meet any of them in joint de- bate, on the streets of Bessemer, or at any place that they may designate, and tell them that they did not comply with the laws of democracy in their manner of holding the recent primary and that, this being the case, they cannot issue certificate of nomination to any nomi- nee of what they called a white mans primary. I shall make this race for mayor on my record an alderman and a law-abiding citizen and, as have suc- cessfuly managed my own aaffirs, l am sure that I can handle the financial af- fairs of the city. and put in improve ments that are greatly need, and get them paid for, too"
 There were a few present who strongly supported the action of the democratic executive committee, among whom were J. B. East, chairman of the Rush cam paign committee, and it looked for awhile as though a joint debate would be heard, but the meeting was called to order by the chairman and an adjournment taken just as it was waxing warm.

mously caryied.
