OMMITTEE WORK
 IS GUT AND DRIED
BELL WILL PROBABLY SUCCEED AlRD AND PRIMARY WILL BE SET FOR APRIL 2-PLURALITY PLAN IN FAVOR.

It begins to appear that everything will be "cut and dried" when the county democratic executive committee convenes tomorrow morning.
 The chairman to succeed J. B. Aird, who will formally resign. will be. according to the plan, Robert N. Bell.
 It Is understood, too, that the chairman of the subcommittee has been agreed upon
 The primary will be set for date not later than April 4. The understanding is that instead of Monday, April 4, the date will be Saturday April ?. It is under stood that the preference for Saturday is due to the general belief that Saturday is more convenient for the farmer than Monday.
 It Is generally stated, too. that the plan to be agreed upon will be one by means of which nominees shall be declared by a plurality vote. It Is said that the reason for this is the memory of the late Stiles Higdon fight, which dragged itself through several weeks of bitterness after the original balloting day. It is under stood that the plurality plan is prefer able. too. to the majority of candidates, and especially to those who are in the race for sheriff.
 There are several vacancies on the com mktee-about a dozen. These will be filled. 1t is probable, before any other action is taken.
 The committee will meet in the court house at 10 o'clock tomorrow.

NEGROES GIVEN
 ANOTHER RESPITE
Supreme Court Has Not Had Time to Act and Stay Is Issued to
 February 23.

By reason of the fact that the supreme court has not had sufficient time to act upon the cases of the two negroes, Jim Powell and Joe Rogers have been grant ed another respite by the superior tri- bunal of Alabama through the governor
 Until the new respite was granted the two negroes were sentenced to die on next Friday, January 21 The order which was issued yesterday postpones the execution until February 23 in or der that the supreme court may have time to decide the fate of the\negroes.
 Powell and Rogers were convicted in the Jefferson county criminal court of having murdered and robbed an old negro merchant in the vicinity of Ems ley. When the negroes stood trial Rogers confessed that he and Powell had com mitted the crime with which they were charged, although Powell denied that this statement was the truth. The Jury in the case brought in verdict of guilty and imposed the extreme penalty of the law
 Powell appealed his case to the su- preme court ani Rogers. having no money with which to defray the ex- penses or an appeal. has from timo to time been respiied awaiting the action of the supreme court on the case of Powell. the co-defendant.

SEALS AGAIN
 TAKES THE OATH
City Council May Claim Authority to Name Commissioner But Would
 Probably Make No Changes.

Carl H. Seals again took the oath of office as a member of the police commits sion yesterday before Mayor O'Brien in accordance with his appointment Friday by Governor Conner.
 There is doubt as to whether the gov- ernor or the Board of Aldermen has the appointive power in case like this. City Attorney Robert Thach has handed down an opinion to the effect that the Board of Aldermen has the power and the mat ter will probably be brought up at the next meeting of that body. It Is gen. erally believed that 1t will also elect Seals, and in this case he would again have to take the oath of office. There Is a nice technical point involved In the question of this appointment, but as both the governor and City Council will prob ably appoint the same man 1t will prob- ably be left to some supreme court of future years to settle if a similar case should ever arise.

 The bringing of this office to Birming ham means much to the city Besides bringing q great deal of money 1t will bring numerous families here to make their homes. President Gregory stated yesterday that this was just the begin ming from which the company hoped to build up one of the largest insurance companies in the United States. He stated that the unprecedented growth of the Citizens Life Insurance company, which is only about five years old, war ranted himself and the directors in be- lieving that they would be able to build the new organization to great propor- tions.
 President Gregory is Georgian and made Atlanta his home for several years. He is widely known in insurance circles in the south as president of the Citizens Life company. He states that 1t is the hope of his company to check the flow of great volume of the sso,- 0Oo000 which annually goes to the north ern and eastern companies for premiums on life insurance carried by southern men.

"The Candfdate.1

Paul Gilmore, the handsome young actor who Is well remembered in Bir- mingham for his former success in The Mummy and the Running Bird" At Yale" and "The Wheel of Love-" re- turned to the city yesterday for mati- nee and night performances in "a comedy of young America" by Owen Davis, "The Candidate" Those who saw the play evidently expected some- thing better. and were doubtless disap- pointed
 It is safe to say that MT. Gilmore will not improve his reputation by ap- bearing in such vehicles. The Candi- date" is by no means a strong play, and could not be much of success even with an all-star cast The cast pre- senting the play last night was not all-star and the inference must be drawn.
 AS Robert York, . candidate for Con- gross. MT. Gilmore was given little op- partunity to show his talent. Talent he has proved himself to have, but an actor cannot live on reputation for ever. His supporting company. 1t can- not be truthfully denied, is somewhat below the average. Jay c. Yorke showed some ability as Danny Foy, and Miss Anna Heritage was clever in the role of Hattie Joy. Miss Carol Warren fell short of requirements as the lead ing lady in the part of Madge Shirley. The remaining members of the com paAy. with the possible exception of William Vaughan, as the district boss, were by no means exceptionally good
 'sThe Candidate" has a few interesting situa atiens. but is on the wh ole weakly put together. The action drags con- sidsrabiy. especially in the first act The plot. however. is clever and has decided possibilities. Robert York, Q lawyer residing in some large city, is candidate of the "citizens'" party for a seat In Congress. His opponent Judge Roscoe Shirley. Is father of the girl he loves, and Is bitterly averse to her marriage with him. On the after noon before the election. York and Madge Shirley. his sweetheart, are left alone on Deyle's Island. where they have been attending a political picnic, both having failed to catch the last boat for the mainland. They are forced to spend the night on the island, and Judge Ehir3ey's campaign manager threatens the next day to cause a scan- dal by giving the story to the news papers, if York does not agree to with draw his name as a nominee. At the end of the third act Shirley and his manager are forcibly detained by York in hts office, York's intention being to prevent them from escaping in time to give the story to the papers. The two politicians evidently escape during the intermission between the third and last acts. for the scandal Is published on the day ef tn . election. York nevertheless 10 elected and the fall of the curtain finds his sweetheart In his arms. D. T.

CORONER'S WORK
 HEAVY AS EVER
First IS Days of New Year Show 20 Cases Investigated, Many
 Being Homicides.

Insofar as the coroner of Jefferson county is concerned the new year started off with a rush. During the first Is days in January Coroner B. l.. Brasher has investigated PC cases, and there are one or two which are pending investigation.
 The coroner states that so far one out of every three cases investigated has been a homicide, while a majority of the other cases were due to natural causes. The unlawful deaths. as rule. have been among the negroes.
 It will be recalled that the old year, 1909. was wound up with a record in the coroner's office, 43 cases being in- vestigated during the month of Decem- Der. From all appearances there has been no decrease in violent deaths, 20 cases in Is days being unusual for the coroner.
 Coroner Brasher yesterday took up for official investigation the death of the infant of J. L. Addington, which was killed at East Birmingham several weeks ago by being run over by a de- livery wagon. The jury in the case held that the death was accidental and no one was held in connection with the death.
 The coroner also Investigated the death of the e-months- old child of J. L.. Henson. which was found dead in its bed at the family residence at North Birmingham. Coroner Brasher came to the conclusion that the child had been smothered by the bedclothing.
