LEAVE OF SPANGLER


To mark the esteem of their asso-
ciates of nearly four years, many of
his friends assembled with Frank NJ &.
Spangler, artist of The Montgomery
Advertiser, in love feats at Yung's
last night. Mr. Spangler will leave this
afternoon for Williamsport, Pa. to as
sumo his new position as head of the
Art Department of The Pennsylvania
Grit.
On account of the popularity of Mr..
Spangler, II Is to his great credit that
he has been able, the last few days, to
bid his numerous friends In Montgom-
cry farewell, and at the same time turn
out his usual stream of trenchant car
toons. But he said to his friends last
highland proved to them-that he
can draw pictures with more grace and
wantonness than he can bid friends
farewell. He seemed to appreciate his
friends SO feelingly that he was little
in speech. But 1t Is needless to say
that he was as much struck last night
with his fellow Advertiser men and the
guests in their farewell role as when
he was the object of overlooking fell
lowship at the dinner OF the LIST Cav
airy Band the evening before.
The public. In their formai express
sions of approval OF the pictorial work
of Mr. Spangler, has been greatly APP
preciated by him, but 1t is needless to
say that the compliments OF his com
rades in The. Advertiser Office seem to
spring more from the heart. They, after
all, are the standard OF friendship. OF
personal attachment. And IL four years
of close association In newspaper work
increases the esteem of one fellow en-
ploye for another, as in this case, he
regards 1t as a more than sufficient re-
ward So with Mr.. Spansler.
He will carry his fun East with him
the future creations OF his pen-but he
cannot carry the impressions already
made In Alabama-in the South. His
work took on the living type just so
soon as he got welded into the customs
and the foibles Of the Alabama citizen
ry, and the echoes of the laughter are
monument enough to his memory. He
was told as much last night when the
labors of the past and its personal
"reminiscences were gone over.
$ In the circle that gave him this fare-
well were found: Capt. w. T. Sheehan,
Bruce Kennedy. Charles l. Finnigan.
Charles L. Harold. James NJ. Engler,
Harry B. Johnston, w. w. Screws. Jr.,

SEVERAL MEN ARE SPEAKERS

Birmingham, Aug. 10-(Special.)--
The extreme heat Notwithstanding, and
with tension that would have been
precipitated with the least spark,
mass meeting was held tonight In
OBrien's opera house. attended by
several hundred citizens. TO discuss
the Commission Form of Government.
Before the meeting was due to begin.
The lower floor of the theatre had
filled.
I C. w. Austin, former Chief of Police.
and an ardent advocate of the commits
sion form of government. announced
that 1t was understood that hummer
of men known to be gamblers ana
others. had come into the place determ-
stated that the speaking would begin
at $3.50 o'clock.
Frequent calls for Mr.. Garrett showed
that 1t was desired for that gentleman
to make an address. The name was
changed to Colonel John w. Tomlinson
when that citizen was seen.
When C. p. Beddow called the meet.
ing to order. he invited Mr.. Tomlinson
to sit on the stage and promised 70
give him part of the time. Mr.. Bed
dow made a strong speech for the coin
mission form of government. He made
frequent filings at the Council OF Birm"
inEham and answered some of the ar
that the commission form was auto
cratic. He was cheered frequently.
During his speech, some one called
DIT: what about Gambill?' and Alder
nan Gambill arose in his seat and de-
handed that the man who had made
the inquiry stand up.
I The speaking proceeded and Mr. Bed
dow made reference to the election by
the Council of Birmingham of Mr..
Gambill, while the people in the ward
had voted for another man.
Mr.. Tomlinson was accorded the sec.
ond place on the list of speakers. He
spoke of the proposition being a dan
gerous one and undemocratic. He
said that 1T leaned toward autocracy.
He was applauded by that portion OF
the house against the commission form.
w. e. Urquhart, Representative from
this county, was next introduced, as
the author of the bill. He was inter-
rupted and asked If there had not been
some changes made in the bill as orig
inally drawn and he safI that was not
a matter for discussion now. The bill
that was up was the question: Mr.. Ur-
uuhart read letter from Mr.. Hambur-
ger, Of Mobile, explaining his absence.
saying he could do more and effective
work in Montgomery, and telegram
was read telling of the action In the
Senate
Mr.. Uruuhart explained the bill and
the position that it was now In. He
said that he did not care to make an
attack on any Alderman personally, but
collectively he did. He explained the
plan under his bill, how the people
could vote whether they wanted 1t or
not, after four years of dissatisfied ao-
tion they could vote 1t out again. and
how a commissioner could be replaced
pr bill passed could be voted down.
