Amid the Kisses of a large number

bill took the oath of office last night.
The council chamber was packed with
citizens interested in the proceedings.
The report of the city democratic

that Mr.. Gambill had failed to sustain
his contest. but the City Council
elected him. There were two ballots
the first being u to in favor OF
Gambill, Mr. Morgan not voting. The
second was 10 to 8 in favor of Gam

favor of the newly elected alderman.

INTEREST IN THE
STEELE-BIRCH CASE

A new development in the Steele Birch
controversy is expected any day. Since
the decree of the court to the effect that
Judge Jones has authority in this district
has been made there is no reason why
Judge Jones should not come to Bir-
mingham and make his appointment of a
referee in bankruptcy once again.
In fact it is learned from number of
the Judges closest friends that he may
be expected within the week and that
something new may be looked for
Another spoke in the wheel which may
turn over today or tomorrow is peti-
ton from the bar of Birmingham to
the two judges that the fight over the
refereeship be settled in some manner
and settled definitely. This was started
yesterday and will be completed shortly.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
the report of the judiciary committee
finding that Alderman Greener was
still entitled to a seat in the council,
and the unanimous election of w. p.
G. Harding to the vacancy on the
Board of Education due to the resigna
ton from that body of Mayor Ward.
Gambill Is Elected
The most sensational portion of the
council meeting was at the very be-
ginning when the matter of filing the
aldermanic vacancy in the Third ward
was preached.
Then it was that Clerk Shropshire
read the report of the city democratic
executive committee to the effect that
A. A. Gambill had failed to sustain
his contest, and that Asa L. Hoyt was
the regularly nominated democratic
candidate.
Another report, signed by 1 members
of the committee, half it's membership,
was read, this report recommending
the election of Gambill. The names at
tached to this report were those of
Committeeman Harper, Enslen, Nolls,
Rosenstihl, Williams, Rich. Stewart.
Stokes, Ellard, Tomppert and Sullivan.
After the reading of the report AL
derman Cooper nominated Mr.. Hoyt
Alderman Heidi in a speech in which
he declared his belief that Mr.. Gambill
was the favorite of the democrats Of
the Third ward, in spite of the 29 ma
jority given Hoyt, nominated Mr. Gam
bill.
Alderman Estes seconded the nomina-
tlon of Mr.. Hoyt. Alderman ONiell
seconded the nomination of Mr.. Gam
bill.
on the first ballot the vote was as
follows:
,For'' Gambill = Burnett, Greener.
Klotz, O'Neill, Moore, Gum, Forney
Fulgham. Heidi, Gregg, Causey and
Mcdonald.
For Hoyt-Copeland D. r.. Copeland
j. r., Cooper, Hogan, Estes, Stockmar,
Starbuck and Martin.
The clerk reported that Mr.. Gambill
had received II votes, overlooking
through a clerical error the fact that
he had received ~. Inamuch as 12
are necessary to elect and it being the
impression that Mr. Gambill had re-
ceived but i votes, another ballot was
ordered by President Jones. On the
second ballot Mr.. Morgan. who on the
first had passed his vote, expressed
himself in favor of Mr.. Gambill.
In reference to the IL names which
were attched to the report favoring
the election of Mr.. Gambil1, Walter
Metcalfe, chairman of the city demo-
cratic executive committee, stated after
the meeting that Committeeman Sulli-
van direct, and Committeeman Nolls by
proxy, both of whose names the Gam
bill report bore. had cast their ballot
in the last meeting of the executive
committee in favor of the report of
the committee.
Some Fine Arguments.
In seconding the nomination of Mr..
Hoyt Mr.. Estes among other things.
said: "In some mysterious manner, the
minority of the city democratic execu-
tive committee has increased its num-
her to II, half the membership of the
committee. No one knows for whom
the republicans of the Third ward
voted. the general election box never
having been opened. Hoyt was not
afraid to open that box The city
