JURY IS
 UNABLE TO AGREE

After having remained out as long if not longer than any other jury in the history of Jefferson county the jury In the murder trial of Tom Pappos was discharged yesterday afternoon. having reported to Judge Fort that 1t was inn possible to arrive at a verdict.
 The jury took the case last Friday and the disagreement among the jury men is said to have been over the rul- ings of the unwritten law. Most of the members of the jury. it is understood. were for acquittal on the grounds of the unwritten law. while one or two were for a conviction for manslaughter
 This case has attracted considera ble attention, especially among the great number of foreign residents of the city, The trial was attended each day by a. large assemblage of the friends of both the defendant and the man whom he had slain. Ever since the case went to the jury this crowd has hung around the courthouse, waiting for the jury to report, while the phones in the sherifrs office were kept ringing all night and voices in many tongues inquired as to the trial.

HARD AT WORK ON
 CLUBS CAMPAIGN
RIVAL COMMITTEES ARE VlEING WITH EACH OTHER IN EFFORTS TO SWELL MEMBERSHIP OF ATHLETIC CLUB.

The two main committees of the mem bership campaign now on at the Athletic club, composed of prominent men of the city and club. are vieing with each in securing members. One of the reasons so much interest is being shown by these committees is the fact that one commit public entertainment as outlined by tho members of the committee that is on the winning side.
 pr. John L. Parker heads the commit tee known as the doctors committee and B. M. Allen heads the committee known as the lawyers committee The fight is on to determine whether pr. Parker and be done before the public by B NJ AL len and his committee or whether the opposite order of things will prevail. The membership committee has been so sue cessful that preparations for the bur lesque entertainment are already being made. Each of the main committees Is composed of ten men, all prominent citi- zens.
 The public entertainment will be given some time in March at the close of the campaign and when arrangements have been completed for the occasion a great affair will be ready for the public. Chair man Ford of the membership committee reports that the campaign Is progressing nicely and that there is not a day passes that several applications for membership are not filed. With the addition of 100 more active members the Athletic club will be ready to spread out and to grow along broad planes.
 In talking of the Athletic club and it's features W. D. Nesbitt, "a longtime member of the club, expressed a belief that nowhere else does a young man get more for his money than at the Ath- letic club. There are features at the club which will interest any young man." says MT Nesbitt, and I know when I was quite young what p.easure I had at the club Aside from the amusement the physical man can receive good at- tention and in the reading rooms the mental man can be well satisfied.
 ''I know of few more pleasant ways of spending evening than playing pool, bowling, exercising in the gymnasium, reading or playing innocent games. I am in hearty accord with the effort to make the club larger and believe that more members should be taken In now that the city has become so much larger" larger

DAY IN
 PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Yesterday was promotion day in all the schools of Greater Birmingham and the work of the new semesters will begin im- mediately. At the High school 1t was reception day for all the eligible pupils from the Avondale, Woodlawn, North Birmingham, Pratt City schools as well as all those who have completed the grammar school course at the Paul Hayne, Henley, Powell, Martin, Barker and other city schools.
 The High school, with this addition, has about reached It's capacity. Some 1000 pupils are now enrolled at the school. the greatest number, 1t is believed, that may possibly be accommodated
 Informal exercises welcoming the in- coming members were held yesterday morning at the High school auditorium. representatives of the various literary so- cities and athletic organizations being heard from.
 The new semester will begin as soon as Principal c. A. Brown and his assistants have arranged the schedules and the schools will be in full blast.
 The senior class, in the closing semester of the course, numbers over 70 members, A and B lists combined. This number. however, will be considerably diminished before commencement time in June and the graduating class will probably not set a record for great size.

 RELEASED ON BOND

John Andrews, the Bessemer negro who was convicted a few days ago and sem tenced to four years for the killing of a white man in Bessemer about two years ago. was yesterday released on bond. which was granted by Judge Fort The ball was allowed. pending the appeal of the case to the supreme court
 This case was fought by the defense on the grounds of the unwritten law, the defendant charging that the white man had been intimate with his wife. The case was hard fought and lasted several days, Allen & Bell, counsel for the de- fense, bringing up number of technical points in addition to their arguments on the unwritten law
 Allowing of bail to Andrews is unique in that there have been but an ex- ceptionally few cases in which negro convicted of murder has appealed his case to the supreme court and asked for bail.

to appear that the number of electors would not be even as large as is usually the case. But for the last few days they have been coming in at the rate of considerably over 1000 day Yesterday the collectors office was fairly swamped over 400 being paid-and the rush will probably be even greater today
 Voters should bear in mind that it is not necessary for them to appear at the collectors office in person to pay the tax. If they are too busy to go them selves they can send the money by a messenger and the receipt will be issued to him.
 Stations have been established at a number of places where the taxes can be paid so that there is every induce ment offered for man to qualify. The taxes can be paid at the courthouse or at Ensey, Bessemer, Pratt City or North Birmingham.
 And today is positively the last oppor- tunity.
