Statement in Russell Case.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Every person is presumed to be inno- cent of all charges until proved other wise. And every man has the right to defend himself though it takes the life of his aggressor.
 Jim Russell, so-ealled by the Age-Her- aid, will prove by five or six witnesses that he shot In self-defense, because Davis drew his knife and said he would cut the mans throat that drew a pistol and if any man had a pistol, and did not draw it he was a coward. and he would cut his throat, or heart out, and at the same time he was using these words, he advanced two or three steps in a stooping position, with his knife drawn and in @ striking position towards Russell, and at this moment Russell was grabbed around the arms and body, and was held tight by Davis friend, but in this. position Rus sell managed to release his arm in time to get his pistol and shoot to save his life.
 I hope that in stating these facts that 1t will not be construed against any one, and the public can form their conclusion, and opinions, by reading both sides of the case. J. M. RUSSELL

------ses-- MUSICAL NOTES.

Minnie Fish Griffin, formerly of Montgomery and Chicago, sang with much success in Berlin. Germany. The most valuable part of Joachim's auto graph collection was sold recently prominent collector of Vienna got the greater portion. A cantata by Bach Beethoven's F major romance. Mozart,s A major violin concerto, are among the treasures that Joachim laid so great a store on.
 Beginning July l. 1908. Giulio Gatti- Casazza of La Scala. Milan. will he director general of the Metropolitan Opera company New York, and An dreas Dippel his assistant. The prin- cipal conductors will be Gustav Mahler and Signor Toscanini A large ballet and an enlarged chorus are to be in- troduced and great sum to be spent on scenery. The change was indeed needed as Mir. Conried was hardly ca pablo.
 Fraulein Wieck, sister of Clara Schumann, played recently in Dresden al a private soiree. She is 76 years of age and her playing still possesses much charm.
 Smetana's only symphony (E major) was played in Prague this winter with great success. It was written in 1853 at the time of the marriage of Elm peror Francis Joseph l. The Austrian national hymn is the chief motive of the work It would probably be of more interest to hear this symphony oftener than some of the inferior Rus sian music which seems to be the craze in certain quarters.
 The Philadelphia Symphony orchestra was in a wreck near Chester, Pa. MT. Pohlig, director, received bad adsprainsa and bruises. About 20 members of the or chestra are disabled in one way and another, and there was considerable damage done to the instruments. The train was running through a dense fog at the rate of 50 miles an hour. The concert last week had to be postponed. Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler was to have been soloist, but her engagement was cancelled

Thinks Injustice is Done


 To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 In your issue of the 32nd inst. in speak, ing of the prospective candidates for county offices. you make the following statement:
 Two judseships are to be filled but so far the only incumbent who will be opposed is Judge Nesmith. Von L. Thompson has announced against him."
 l beg to respectfully differ with yoa gentlemen. I have never announced against Judge Nesmith, or any one else. am candidate for judge of the city court of Birmingham and up to the pres ent time I am the only announced can didate for thls place. l ask that you do me the justice of publishing this in order that may not be placed in an improper light before the public by the above quo tation from your paper I am quite sure, however, that you did not intend to make an erroneous statement and in order that the public at large will thoroughly under stand that 1 could not have announced a candidate against any other person l quote a portion of the Act providing for judgeships in the city court of Bir- mingham:
 The city court Of Birmingham shall be composed of four judges, each of whom shall be called and known as judge of the city court of Birmingham. ........ At the general election to be held in this state in 1908 and every six years there after, there shall be elected two judges of said court at the general election to be held in the state in the year of 1910 and every six years thereafter, there shall be elected one judge of said court and at the general election to be held in the state in the year 1912 and every six years there after, there shall be elected on judge of said court, each of wlsogn shall hold office for six years. ......... and all of whom shall be chosen by the qualified electors Of Jefferson county, Alabama"
 You perhaps made the mistake by req son of the fact that heretofore when there were only two judges in the city court of Birmingham they were desig- mated as the Senior Judge" and "Asso- ciate Judge" of the court of Birmingham That portion of the Act creating the city court of Birmingham has been repealed and under the law as it is now, the city court of Birmingham has four judges and each judge is called the Judge of the city court of Birmingham" There is no other legal way to express it and there is no other way by which the judges of the city court of Birmingham may be desig- mated.
 While there are two judges to be nom- mated for the city court of Birmingham, in the approaching primary election, there is no way under the law for a candidate in this campaign to designate or point out which place he is running for, and an as- sertion that 1 have announced as oppos- ing either of the judges of this court, if remaining uncorrected, would do me quite an injustice. Yours very truly,
 VON L. THOMPSON.

THIS DAY IN
 HISTORY OF
 BIRMINGHAM
BY THE HISTORIAN.

February 23.-
 This date, February "2S," seems to be a veritable hoodoo in the history of Birmingham. It stands as a blank in the record of public events in this city and community.
 Search as I did. up and down, through the records at hand, I have failed utterly to find anything that happened on this date in any year that is worthy of record in this department.
 The only good purpose that the day has served so far as l can discover Is to fill a blank space in the calendar and pad out a month already abbreviated and mutilated in a shameful manner.
 It is possibly true that many things have happened on this date 6f living import to individuals, but without gen eral interest.
 Swain and maid have mated just as on other days and bright faced cherubs with the stolen smiles of Heaven have made their bow to the world and to cheer proud parents It has marked the final hour in many ambitious careers, but in the numbering course of a twelve month these things are forgotten, except by a devoted few.
 The day has counted as the usual unit on the weekly or monthly pay roll of the sweat-salted and socialistic inclined employe and has brought the usual diurnal round of worry and brain-wreck- ing exasperations to the rich employer.
 Sometimes l wonder which deserves the greater pity, the rich employer or the hungry employe.
 The employe is hungry because he is healthy and strong, while his employer is dyspeptie. and miserable for lack of appetite and exercise He would often give half his fortune for capacity to eat and enjoy the wholesome but plebian midday lunch of his man behind the boiler in the engine room.
 This date, February 23 has sometimes fallen on Friday put never on the 18th. Some of them have no doubt been stormy and some have been sunny I venture that more have been sunny than other wise. If we stop to enumerate we can always count more golden, sunny days than cloudy in the course of the year. Rich opportunities for success and large unoerlaklnSS nave pOSSlDly been offered to thousands of people and perhaps were grasped by hundreds, but other days record their accomplishment. When I count the great things that might have been done on this day in Bir- mingham I am appalled, at the gigantic list of miserable failures that history mercifully vells.
 The people might have voted for and established Greater Birmingham on any one of these neglected days The Board of Revenue might have evolved some practical method of giving the county a system of good roads. Half dozen new skyscrapers might have been designed and started. More policemen might have been assigned to duty in the residence section. Public officials might have for gotten political Jealousies and determined to pull in harmony for the best interest or the suffering public. The contract Tor digging the Van Hoose canal might nave been let. Birmingham and Besse- mer might have been annexed to Ems ley. B. B. Conner and Milton H. Smith might have saluted each other with the holy Kiss and given the people chance

Sultan Has Yielded.

Vienna, February 22.-It is learned here that the Sultan of Turkey has yielded to the demands of the powers for a renewal of the mandates to the European civil and financial agents in Macedonia and has agreed to prolong their tenure of control for another period of seven years. The question of judicial reforms in Macedonia, how ever, is no nearer solution. The ambassadors, 1t is understood, have been unable to agree to a common scheme and have asked their respect i've governments for new instructions.

Above that is the subway. Above that Is the subway surface car line. And over them all Is the surface line itself No where else on the planet are such traffic facilities demanded as in New York. No where else, not even in London or Paris, could suchr stupendous undertakings be financed. As the United States leads the world in the great projects it undertakes and the wonderful engineering feats per formed, so New York leads the United States. It spends more money per cap lia, probably, than any other city on earth. for public Improvements and cer- tainly for underground railroads.
