DEFER ACTION ON HOYT-GAMB|LL CASE Es1es Wanted Matter Put To
 Vote Last Night THE RESOLUTION IS TABLED Greoqs Motion to Refer Question of Opening the Ballot Box to Judiciary
 Committee Is Passed-Thach
 Opposes Opening Box.
THE RESOLUTION IS TABLED

At the request of Mayor Ward City At torney R. H. Thach yesterday morning rendered an opinion to the effect that the City Council had no right to open the general election ballot box used in the Third ward September 1, nor any right to cause the box to be opened
 Edward D. Smith, former city attorney, rendered an opinion to the same effect.
 However. the council, at it's meeting last night, refused to vote on whether or not the request of the city democratic executive committee that the box be opened and the list of votes furnished would be granted
 Alderman Gregg-read before the council the request of the executive committee and irnmedia tely afterward made motion to the effect that the request be referred to the judiciary committee.
 Alderman Estes objected to the passage of the motion, however, and offered a res oittion, in lieu of the motion of Mr. Gregg, that the request of the executive committee, in view of the opinion of the city attorney, be disallowed
 MT. Gregg thereupon moved that the council table the Estes resolution, and 1t was tabled. When the vote on the org inal motion, that referring the request to the judiciary committee, was called for' Alderman Burnett cast his vote referring it to the committee, and these followed ln rapid succession: Green, KioZ, Gum, Forney, Fulghum, Heidt, Gregg, Morgan, Mcdonald and Causey.
 So the matter will go over until the next meeting of the council. The city demo- cratic executive committee, having the Gambill-Hoyt aldermanic contest in charge. will meet tonight. Inasmuch as the committee has already stated in its request to the council that 1t was unable to gather sufficient evidence to sustain the contest of Mir Gambill, and inasmuch as the council last night passed resolu- ton not to furnish the evidence, the committee has little before it. MT. Estes. in speaking against deferring action. said before the council last night:
 'Inasmuch as we have the opinion of the city attorney, and inasmuch as every man knows tonight how he will vote on the matter of opening the general cleo ton ballot box, cannot see the wisdom in deferring action.
 '"rhis matter has been hanging fire for months, and we should not cause greater delay when that delay is absolutely un- necessary.
 '"The people of the Third ward deserve representation. and we owe 1t to them to refrain from further clogging the wheels in this controversy"
 There was large gathering of spec tators in the hall and MT. Estes was loudly applauded as he took his seat

MISCREANT SHOOTS
 INTO STREET GAR
YOUNG LADY FEELS RUSH OF AIR ON HER CHEEK AS THE BULLET SPED THROUGH A WINDOW ON OPPOSITE SIDE.

While car No. 20 on the North Besse- mer line was passing Conner station last night on It's way to Birmingham from Bessemer, some miscreant shot at the car and the bullet passed in less than an inch of young lady passenger.
 The car was due in town at Il o'clock and no stop was made to investigate the shooting. The motorman was not aware of it until informed by the conductor. the noise of the car drowning out the noise of the shot The bullet came from the right side of the track and passed through the middle of the glass just above the bottom sash rail and continuing passed through the window on the oppo- site side of the car.
 young lady was seated next to the window and the bullet passed so close that she could feel the slight rush of air closing in it's wake. By the other passengers the fact that she was not hit was regarded as remarkable, the distance between the spot where 1t hit the win dow and the back of the seat being but a few inches.
 The matter was reported to the sheriff's department and the bloodhounds started to the scene from the kennels in Wood lawn. Sheriff IIigdon has recently pur- chased some new bloodhounds, paying large sum for them. They come from the best kennel in Texas and. with Darn. one of the old dogs, have been doing some splendid running on trial runs dur ing the past two months.
