arguments. He told facts not brought out in the progress of the case. ana one of his most pertinent statements was this
 There Is no man in the Third ward to- day who voted for Gambill or Hoyt, who was in sympathy with the action of the council Wednesday night
 In speaking of the charge that republic ans voted in the Third ward election Mr. Kerr stated:
 "One of the last votes cast was by a republican, the editor of a republican pa per. O'Keefe Is his name. Gambill met him, shook hands with him, and escorted him to the place where the votes were be- ing deposited. Another well-known repub- Iican, Robert Durfield, worked for Gam bill, was a paid worker, I am informed We all knew Durfield was a republican"
 In course of his remarks, MT. Kerr complimented MT. Gambill on having made an honest official. and stated that he had nothing against him personally. He stated that until he accepted a position to which the people had elected another man, no one of MT. Gambill's political ac- tions was worthy of criticism
 ''There is one cancer, the cause of all this trouble. That is the secret caucuses of the majority. We believe in com mission but before we get the commis- sion, we must remember that we still have the Board of Aldermen. Therefore, the people should see that these caucuses of the majority are brought to an end When the matters are discussed in open meeting, the people stand a chance of getting their deserts. But when there is a csucus of a majority to which the minority is not admitted, the people are really and truly up against a shell game"
 After the conclusion of his address MT. Kerr introduced the resolutions given above.
 Then it was that a popular demand for Mayor Ward caused the dragging of the Mayor to the rostrum. He congratulated the people on their fine showing, and ex- pressed a conviction that as long as the popular feeling was not dead, the city was in no danger of permanent distress.
 Immediately thereafter the meeting was adjourned. It required half an hour for the clearing of the hall. So aroused and so enthused were the people that after leaving the hall, they stood in the cold of the December night and discussed those things which they had heard and seep

DEPUTY DEAN HAS
 GHOST EXPERIENCE

All previous ghost stories were eclipsed by reality in Judge Lanes division of the circuit court yesterday afternoon. Whether or not Deputy Sheriff Louis R. Dean is haunted by "Banquos ghost" is the question which the friends of the deputy are inclined to be per plexed. MT Dean said yesterday after noon 1t looked like a case of the dead rising from the grave.
 On the day after last Christmas Depu- ty Sheriff Louis R. Dean went to a negro house in the vicinity of Seventh avenue and Thirteenth street. north. to arrest a negro woman named Mary Harris. When Dean entered the house and stated his business, Williams is alleged to have or dered him out of the house and to have tackled the deputy sheriff. The affair resulted in Deans shooting the negro five times.
 With all possible haste Williams was rushed to the Hillman hospital, where he was operated upon, and the next day 1t was reported that he had died during the preceding night.
 Following this report Coroner Paris made an official investigation of the af- fair and after hearing all of the evil dence he decided thai Dean was justi- fled in shooting and, as It was supposed. in killing the negro.
 These facts were brought out in the hearing of a suit before Judge Lane yes terday.
 But it seems that Williams declined to be dead in spite of the report from the hospital, and all of a sudden he bobbed up and filed suit against the sheriff, claim ing that Dean shot him without probable cause It is not known how he mis- taken report of the negros death came from the hospital.
 There is no doubt that Williams, or his image, or his ghost is here on earth, be- cause the negro supposed to have been dead was represented in court yesterday afternoon by man whom Dean says is the one he shot. When the story of the negro's "death" was drawn out yesterday afternoon it caused much amusement in the court room.
 Judge Lane has the suit under advise- ment for a decision.

APPEAL MADE BY
 SALVATION ARMY
BECAUSE MANY ARE OUT OF WORK THE ARMY EXPECTS TO HAVE LARGE NUMBER TO LOOK AFTER CHRISTMAS.

The Salvation Army is making final preparations to provide it's annual Christ mas dinner for the needy poor. In view of the unsettled state of financial affairs which has existed during the greater part of the past year it is pointed out that more people will need attention this year than ever before. The army expects this year to feed 1000 of the poor on Christmas Day and to give a Christmas tree to 800 children.
 Accordingly an appeal for funds, in the form of a circular. has been printed and is being mailed to the citizens of Bir- mingham, as follows:
 Shall the People Starve2
 Dear Friend-In view of the financial trouble of the past year and the hand to mouth condition of the poor. through the lack of employment and the probable need of the coming winter, the above will | be the burning question with all humane and benevolent people.
 We therefore, feel sure that while we make our annual appeal for the work of the Salvation Army, which needs no eX- planation here, we can confidently ask your help on behalf of the needy poor
 Innumerable instances could be cited of dire and abject poverty right here in Birmingham, where wife and children have been robbed of the bread winner through accident, sickness and similar causes. Such cases of distress come to our notice the year round, summer and winter.
 Our thorough knowledge of the needs of the poor and our constant work among them, enable us to deal with them in a practical and economical way.
 In addition to our regular relief work, we are arranging to provide a free Christ mas dinner for 1000 poor people, and a massive Christmas tree full of presents, with stereopticon and moving picture en- tertainment for 800 poor children.
 Our need of funds is great. We appeal to you for liberal and generous dona- tion for this worthy cause.
 Thanking you for your past generous help, and begging for continuance of the same 1 am, yours in the interest of the worthy poor,
