It was understood that in case Judge Greene did resign, as rumor would have had him do, it would lead to other matt ters equally interesting, and on this ac- count considerable interest and anticipa- ton was prompted among those more in- timately associated with the courts
 It WAS pretty well understood, as stated, that if Judge Greene rendered his resig- nation MT. Fort would be appointed by the governor to succeed him. The ques- tion of who would succeed Mir. Fort as first to arise. No statement has been made on this subject.
 But the local point of interest was on the clerkship of the criminal court whether John G. Bradley would be re- tained in that position or whether he would be busted and another man ap- pointed to the position.
 It will be recalled that MT Bradley was appointed by Judge Greene, acting as senior judge of the criminal court, to which position he was elected
 So in case of MT. Fofts appointment to succeed Judge Greene the privilege of  appointing a clerk of the criminal court devolves upon him just as was the case in the instance of MT. Bradley's appoint ment by Judge Greene. It was thought by some that there was slight doubt about MT. Bradley's reappointment in case of MT. Forts appointment by Governor Conner.
 The announcement received last night, however, settles all matters. MT. Brad- ley will, of course, remain in his present position.
 The announcement that Judge Greene will leave the bench, even temporarily, is the cause of considerable regret. He has served in the capacity of senior judge of the criminal court for several years and is generally considered one of the most capable and most popular judges sitting in Alabama

HEFL ZN HAS
 7ILT WITH THE COUR7

Solicitor H. P. Heflin and Frank W. Smith, acting judge in the second di- vision of the criminal court, had quite a lively little tilt yesterday morning dur ing the course of which the solicitor took a rap'' at Sheriff Higdon, so to speak,
 The cases of vagrancy charged against 34 of the women arrested in the restricted district during the raids made some time ago were called and dozen or more lawyers were present in the courtroom fully armed with a staggering batch of demurrers. When the cases were called the attorneys stated that they were will ing to have Acting Judge Smith pass on the cases, but Solicitor Heflin objected, and insisted that they be passed until the regular judge of the court could hear them
 q would be willing to prosecute these

The aldermen were enthused with the invention and seemed to think that Chief Bennetts request for two of the ma chimes would be granted as soon as pos- sibe Said Alderman O'Neill: 'I think it is fine thing and Birmingham needs them badly. We will have to come to it. for beyond doubt 1t will save money in maintenance and thousands of dollars from the iames.'
 Alderman Collins said; @'Nothing can hold candle to this machine for the protection of our highlands. It will get up hills and cover ground which horses could not approach. I think that Bir- mingham needs one or two of them right away
 Alderman Klotz was very favorably impressed as were Aldermen Burnett and Gambil Every city official approached urged that Birmingham should not be left behind by North Birmingham. Mayor Ward said: "The fire department should be as thoroughly equipped as our finances allow. and this is no doubt the most mod ern equipment"

 "rhe board Is unanimously in favor of relieving these conditions as soon as pos sible. We believe that the jail issae is the first and should be settled as soon as possible. The Jefferson county Board of Revenue has already decided that the jail must be removed. The only question now is, how and where? We are doing every thing possible to solve that question. and are glad to receive any suggestions.''

part of Birmingham and the election was nexed. The territory was taken into Bir- mingham and made and constituted into the Eleventh ward.
 The Sigsby>. case, with which you are familiar, sought to defeat the election of June, 1908, on the ground that the elec- tion was held within six months of the January election, or the election on the Greater Birmingham bill and the supreme court decided that the election of June was not valid election. In this case. however, the defects and the irregular ities in the passage of the King bill were not presented and the supreme court passed solely upon the question as to whether or not the election In June. be- ing held within six months from the cleo tion in January, was valid or not. How ever, when the matter was presented to them squarely as in the first Martin case. which attacked the validity of the King void, not having been passed in accord ance with the requirements of the con sttution. Therefore, the election held in January on the King bill was no cleo tion at all. This being true, the elec- tion in June, 1908, annexing the Eleventh ward was not and could not be invalid for being held within six months of the election of January on the King bill. Con- sequently the Eleventh ward is and will continue to be, a part of the city of Birmingham unless some issues are pre- scented and litigated which have never been in question and which 1 can not foresee.

cases if they had been brought with the intention of benefiting the city, but they were instituted purely and solely for the purpose of getting fees, and I am opposed to prosecuting the defendants,' were the words of the solicitor.
 Mir Heflin then stated that some of the cases were demurrable, and that he was willing to off-docket them in that way. He added that he thought all should be treated alike, and that he was willing to help those who could not es- cape on technicality. He then added that he wanted the senior judge of the court to share part of the responsibility of the dismissal of the cases, and he asked for continuance of the cases.
 After some little argument this was agreed to and the cases were continued until tomorrow, when the whole batch of llO cases will come up for disposition.
