TO PROBE VOTES
 OF 100 VOTERS

Although A. A. Gambill, contesting the aldermanic nomination of Asa l.. Hoyt of the Third ward, alleges in his bill Of complaint that 10 illegal votes were cast for his opponent, his attorneys. Messrs. Allen, Bowie, Bell and Cabaniss, have furnished MT. Hoyts attorneys, Messrs. Kerr and Haley, with 100 names of vot- CTS whom they will attempt to prove had no right to exercise their franchise.
 It was impossible yesterday to secure a list of these 100 names. It was learned, however. that Messrs. Kerr and Haley have furnished no names of voters whom tbev will attempt to have thrown out in case such action is deemed necessary.
 The general understanding yesterday was that the committee would come to- gether Monday night It was reported thai a list of witnesses would be furnished Chairman Metcalfe today by attorneys for the contestant
 with these witnesses the understanding ia that the contestant will attempt to nrove that the 100 voters, the names of whom were furnished the lawyers for the contestee, had no right to participate in the primary in question.
 The Third ward controversy is the most interesting subject of gossip in municipal political circles at the present time.

DEAN IS SILENT ABOUT HUSH MONEY Deputy Causes Stir By Declin-
 ing to Testify WILL NOW BE TRIED FIRST He Declined to Testify Against Others on the Ground That He Was Under
 indictment and Might ln-
 crIminate Himself.

The famous bribery eases growing out of Sheriff D. L. Higdons graft fund developed a rather unexpected state of affairs in the first division of the criminal court yesterday afternoon, when Deputy Sheriff Louis R. Dean, on whose testi- mony the grand jury indicted certain members of the gambling fraternity on charges of bribery, declined to testify in the cases.
 If will be recalled that during the first part of last year, in an attempt to put stop to the gambling which was alleged to have been going on in Birmingham, Sher- if Higdon inaugurated what he termed his graft fund" He instructed his dep uty sheriffs to accept whatever hush money was offered them by the alleged gamblers and to turn it over to him to be used as evidence against them. Sev- eral thousand dollars were collected in this manner, it is said, in consequence of which indictments charging bribery were returned against those who had rendered the money to the deputies. It developed later that charges were made that Dep- uty Sheriff Dean converted part of the money received to his own use, and at the following session of the grand jury he was indicted upon a charge of ac- cepting bribes.
 Yesterday afternoon the 12 cases of Joe Frank, one of the men charged with brib- cry, were called in the first division of the criminal court. When Deputy Dean was put on the witness stand he declined to answer any of the questions asked him by the attorneys, claiming that inasmuch as he had been indicted for accepting brbes whatever evidence he might give in the trial of Frank might be incriminat- ing in his own trial. Accordingly, there being no evidence against Frank. Judge Greene gave general charge in favor of the defendant.
 When Mir. Dean positively declared that he would answer none of the questions, Assistant Solicitor J. R. Aird suggested that the court hear Deans trial first, and either convict or acquit him, and then let him testify. After a conference of some length between the attorneys this course was decided upon and Dean will be tried this morning.
 The turn of affairs yesterday attracted asmuch as without Deans testimony it would be impossible to convict any of the men who are charged with bribery.

H. Clay Evans. the republican orator from Chattanooga, will arrive in Birming- ham tomorrow at Il a. m, and will be royalty entertained during his stay. The committee has decided to give him lunch con immediately on his arrival, and then take a special street car for Ensley. where arrangements will be made for him to address 200O working men between the hours of 12 and 1 p. m.
 He will also probably make speeches during the afternoon at both Pratt City and Ensley. winding up the day as the principal speaker at the business mems rally in the Hippodrome tomorrow night.
 Mr. Evans is one of the most distin- guished republicans of the south, and there will probably be a big crowd to hear him. The Hippodrome is already decorated h pictures of Taft and sherman with more than ordinary artistic effect. The smiling countenance of the big man

beams from every corner of the place, and is draped with the national colors as if he were speaking from the platform him. self
 The republicans are closing up the cam paign in a rousing manner. Through tho efforts of Chairman Lathrop, with the able assistance of Julius Sternfeld Of Montgomery, it is believed that more in the wayof organization has been accornp- lished than in many years previous. The energetic pushing spirit of Julius Stern field is manifest everywhere, and the cam- pagn headquarters have been buzzing under his direction from theNt time they were opened.
 From the mailing department 100000 pieces of literature have been mailed out |. and the republicans are counting on big vote.
 Branch headquarters have been opened in Pell City, St. Clair county, with Cor don Ashley in charge, and speakers will be placed in every beat from now until the election. The republicans are claim ing St. Clair county by a big majority.

Nobile's AttitDde Way
 Call FoY ExtYa SesSiOn

who foresee the necessity of another ses- sion.
 Mobiles alleged disregard of the prohi- bition laws is given as the cause for another session of the legislature short ly after Janaury.
 It is reported in Birmingham that sa- loon men of Mobile will literally disre gard the laws, and keep their doors al- ways open to the public.
 L. K. Forbes, a well known attorney of Montgomery, registered at the Morris last night, had the following to say con- cerning Mobiles attitude:
 T have just returned from Mobile and the people of that city are so opposed to prohibition, and feel so certain that they have been deceived, that I feel positive that they intend at the present time to pay no attention whatever to the recent ly enacted statutory laws. I made in- quiry concerning the plan of the saloon keepers, and found to my surprise that many of the buildings presently occu- pied by bars have been released. One In particular has been leased through out 1911, the rent each year to increase. I am not speaking figuratively when [ express my belief that the saloons in Mo strong and compelling arm of the state gets behind them.'
 In case the legislature does meet in January for the purpose of making laws to overcome the alleged attitude of the people of Mobile, those behind the scheme of government by commission feel that they will have an opportunity to bring this question to the attention of the lawmakers.

with republican leanings.
For Bryan.


 s-DoubtfuT with democratic leaning. This table represents my judgment as to the result next Tuesday" said MT. Well last night. q will qualify 1t by say ing that if Bryan carries New York he will be elected, but I do not believe New York will go democratic this time.
 ''When I made my forecast four years ago I said that Parker would be elected if he carried New York. The New York Herald said three weeks before election that Parker would carry New York and my figures were based largely upon that newspapers forecast. This year, however, I have sRnt considerable time in the north and have investigated for myself I have been fin all of the so-called battle ground states and cannot see how Bryan can carry them.
 Bryan will get more of the labor vote than Taft, but he would not be elected if he received 1t all. This is true because Taft will get S5 per cent of the farmer vote in the north and he will get 90 per cent of the business vote.
 'Taft is gaining every day because he continues to keep to the front the policies which have been advocated by Bryan in the past. MT. Bryan is thoroughly honest and is one of the most able men in Amer lea, but he simply has not the confidence of the people who really control affairs in the nation.
 If Bryan is elected I would be one of the first to congratulate him and his but x.yttt inf I ha va do not see how his election is possible. q will say further that If MT. Bryan is not elected this year he never can be, because he has everything in his favor this time."

endeavor to prove that it owns the right of way across this street. In the case of the city winning the suit, it is prob able that the railroads will be forced to make the crossing by means of sun- way or a viaduct.
 The city will endeavor to force the water works company to furnish meters to all desiring them, and to restrain the company from taking away meters from those already possessing them and who desire to retain them, and to prevent the company from establishing water tower as a permanent franchise on certain ele- vated heights in the city limits, and to force the company to supply the homes so elevated with water by means of the necessary machinery.
 The city considers these five cases of great importance, and means to make an able fight to win, them. Those fav- bring the employment of MT. Smith to take the lead in the controversies declare that he more than any other, understands the situation, and has the best chance of meeting with success.

RUMOR ALSO SAYS MATTER OF PETITIONlNG LEGISLATURE FOR COMMISSION FORM OF GOVERN MENT IS BEING DISCUSSED.

The matter of petitloning the legsla- ture to form a commission for the gov ernment of the city of Birmingham is fast becoming subject of discussion in munic- ipal affairs.
 This matter will be referred to at the next meeting of the city council, this ref erence being intended to serve as be- ginning to a movement which it's pro- motors trust will take instant and firm hold.
 A prominent real estate dealer of Bir- mingham is at the present moment work ing up data to furnish an argument for the government by commission, and when his report is completed. the movement is expected to be launched. Those be- hind the scheme base their opinion that Birmingham would fare better under the commission plan on their claims that conditions at the present time are not as good as they might be.
 It is generally believed. too, that there will bo another extra session of the leg Islature. Although members of the leg isiature win say little, there are many

GOOD WORK DONE
 BY DETECTIVES

Chief Bodeker's two new detectives, Shirley and Larue, worked on quick ac- tion yesterday afternoon, and at the same time the thoroughness of the plan upon which the detective depart ment is now operated was emphasized.
 Yesterday afternoon it was reported from the residence of Mrs. John w. Maynor, 1712 Fourteenth avenue, south, that about $13s worth of house. hold goods had been stolen. Within a very few minutes Detectives Shirley and Larue made their hourly report by telephone. They were within two blocks of Mrs. Maynor's residence and Chief Bodeker instructed them to look into the case.
 The two detectives immediately went to work on the case and in a short time were on the heels of the thief. They made things so warm for him that he dropped the stolen goods but was not captured e
 Chief Bodeker is more than pleased with the work of his detectives. He states that they are all doing good work.

On account of the importance of five or the cases that the city will soon bring to trial in the courts of the county, it is probable that the city, through the rec ommnedation of the "steering com mittee, will employ outside counsel to as- sist City Attorney Thach. recently elected unanimously by the council.
 In case this is true, it is the concensus of opinion that the committee will rec ommend the employment of Edward D. Smith, formerly city attorney, who IS familiar with the cases in. question.
 Three of the five suits are against the Birmingham Water Works company, one against several of the railroads crossing Twenty eighth street, and one against the residents of Norwood, who have re- gently secured injunctions preventing the city from collecting increased taxes and revenue.
 In the fight against the railroads cross- ing Twenty eighth street, the city will

NO ONE IS SAFE
 AT CITY HALL

Is Pepperman to be numbered with the slain?
 MT. Pepperman is the Mayors secre- tary, and also the assistant of Street Commissioner John McCartin. The council cannot relieve him of his duty as secretary to the Mayor, but can elect another assistant to the street commissioner.
 This latter thing it is reported the council will do. The plans of the Burnett majority are yelled, but report after report of heads to be severed are whispered.
 Yesterday morning Judge Feagin, Assistant r.se Attorney Quinton Smith. Electrical Inspector w. H. Abernathy and Plumbing Inspector Charles Eckerle composed the fold.
 Yesterday it was said that the inten- tion concerning Mir Eckerle was aban- doned on account of the alleged ani- mostly being placated by another oc- currence in another direction.
 And it is now said that Pepperman is to be sacrificed in the place of Mir. Eckerle.
 The office holders of the city are seen throughout the day in whispered conversations. They are awaiting full of expectation, and no man feels safe.

CHANGING OFFICES
 AT THE CITY HALL

Due to the fact that City Attorney Rob- ert II. Thach will occupy an office of the city hall, several changes in the present offices occupied will be made.
 MT. Thach will occupy the office known as the city engineers office. Engineer Nicholson will occupy the old office of Street Commissioner McCartin, and will use. too, the little office formerly occu- pied by the meat and milk inspector The offices of the meat and milk inspector, the offices of the sanitary department and of the city health officer will here after be on the third floor.
 The city yesterday made preparations for the reception of MT. Thach. Carpets and curtains were purchased and other necessities. The city attorneys office will be one of the handsomest in the city hall.
 Mir. Thach has asked the city to allow him the services of a stenographer, but whether or not his request will be granted is unknown City Attorney Smith was allowed $20 per month for stenographic assistance.
