COMMISSION FORM OF GOVERN
MENT is DEFEATED.

BILOXI, Miss, June 25.-The COM
mission form of government went
down in defeat today by a vote of
299 to 119. Every ward gave a ma
jority vote against the measure. The
results ofthe election show that the
political leaders of the different wards
with their followers, the Defense Lea
que, and large sprinkling of the bus
mess men of the city voted against the
measure. The greatest opposition
seemed to have been engendered be-
cause of the substitute for the recall
feature; although, even obviating that,
it is probable that the strength of the
factional bosses would have been too
much for the measure.

Brown building and plans for the erec- ton of new buildings by Frank S. White, A. R. Dearborn and other property owners and it will be readily seen that building is quite on the boom in the new district. A. R. Dearborn owns lot 100 feet square on the northwest corner of First avenue and Twenty-third street, directly opposite the Collins building. Plans are on foot for the erection of a four-story building on this lot, but hoth- ing specific has been made known Frank s. White Is owner of another lot on the north side of First avenue, near the corner of Twenty-third street, which has O frontage Of 50 feet and a depth of 14O feet. Together with other parties interested MT. White expects to build a three or four-story structure on this To- cation in the near future. Plans for this, however, have not been definitely laid, although the project is seriously en- tertained.
 Merchants Pleased.
 When asked their several opinions on the new location the merchants who have recently moved into new quarters assert In one voice that as a wholesale district First avenue is without a peer. All are well pleased with the location and state that their business has if anything in- creased since the removal.
 R. E. Collins, of the Collins Grocery company, expressed himself as being much gratihed with the new condition of things and states that his business has shown a decided improvement since the desertion of the old quarters on Morris avenue. He has great confidence in the desirability of First avenue as a wholesale street and is on the whole well pleased
 c. c. Snider of the Snider Cigar and Tobacco company, states that the new district strikes him as being entirely ade- quate, and believes that his business will be greatly improved as soon as he Is we'll established. His statement Is borne out by c. F. Bell the produce merchant who decided that First avenue is the com Ing wholesale jobbing district and ac- cordingly established quarters there. 9th CT merchants including o. E. Kenimer, of the Kenimer-Irwin Shoe company; W. L. Murdoch and l.. R. Shirk. commission merchants. and others are of the same opinion, all speaking high in praise of the new district.
 All of which shows that Birmingham Is expanding along this as well as along other lines.
