Defends His Editors

Anybody who knows the ability of
the gentlemen who edit the American
knows if they had desired to omit the
date of any document they would not
have been so childish as to print the
date conspicuously in the type while
they were leaving it out of the picture.
Finally, anybody who can read and
can think can see clearly that the date
in question is not the important date
anyhow, but that the important date is
the date Of January &. date in Mayor
Caynor's administration upon, which
the payment to Cohalan of $4,000 was
finally signed and actually authorized.
The January 4 signature was affixed by
the assistant chamberlain in the office
of Chamberlain Hyde, Mr.. Gaynor's law
partner.
This latter gentleman. who is pop
ularly known as Gaynor's thick-Hyde,' ,
is not only Gaynor's law partner but
the person who figured conspicuously
in Gaylor's golf ball decision in favor
of racetrack gambling"

1T is obvious to any one, however
that the mayors defense is false upon

His attack upon the American is

the same date of the same document

COUNTY JAIL IS
 PLACE OF HORROR
forbiddiDE Walls and Dingy Bulbs Give Haunted Aspect to Ga8nf
 Structure

Squatted down in the very heart of the city as if crouehing before the pointing finger of an aceuser, there is located in Birmingham perhaps the most dismal ob- ject in the district Dark and terrible, even haunted in appearance when the night is not bright. the county jail stands as shrinking memorial to all that is lawless
 Few there are who not accustomed to the gaze upon the place, pass by this structure without a feeling of mingled horror and repugnance. The great high walls surroundings the prison rear them selves heavenward as if they would shut out every ray of light that might creep in from the street ares One passes by only to observe a few incandescent globes whose brightness seems subdued and unwilling. GhostIy shadows stands out here and there. ever remaining fixed and awful to behold. for who knows but that some fugitive culprit turks there waiting for an opportunity to dart out into the open in his flight to more ex tended darkness and to safety.
 Within there is no light except one stringy little electric lamp allowed to burn for the benefit of an ever suspicious and ever-ready warden. All is solemn. All is quiet and terrible.
 The great square-built structure stands there a big black monster. despised by men and condemned by civic pride. The great dark walls stand out in black re- lief. always reminding observers that it Is place of dismay, horror, remorse, fear; retainer of men against whom crime and disregard of the law are charged.
 Years ago the great French Bastile, a. seemingly indestructible mass of masonry, fell before the cries of outrage and was razed by an infuriated populace who were only too willing to remove the awful blot. So this local jail stands ap noticeable, although ridiculed and condemned as a place undesirable, and yet, like the Bastile, perhaps, some day this place of misery and remorse may fall

FACES IN REVIEW
 ON THIRD AVENUE
Some of the Types Man Sees Who stops to Look Closely for
 Few Moments

Faces freakish, strange and unusual; faces depicting misery. woe, love. happi- ness. cruelty and big-heartedness, but each with background of something queer
 Such was revealed to a man who stood at the corner of Third avenue and Nine teenth street and searchingly gazed at the crowd. He had stopped for a moment and noted the queer faces in the mingling throng, and was himself struck with a queerish feeling to discover that each face presented something of a different queer ness.
 There was the face that reflected sor- row unspeakable. It touched his heart strings, but the rising wave of sympathy was crushed paehzb the aueernexs which began to develop in the face, and the searching look was transferred to an other. This was that of a maid, full of sunshine and beauty. A feeling of love arose in the man, but back of the sun shine the penetrating look revealed a cloudy queerness and to another face the look was cast.
 Another face appeared prominent in the swaying mass of countenances. It was that of a man. appearing odd at first but rapidly growing into one of hideous outlines. Its rough and crooked lines twisted the spongy flesh into mass of mean-looking knots. Everything about the face indicated meanness. It bespoke a nature unscruplous, moral depravity too deep to think of. Truly, this man was living to spite nature alonei A shud- der and a quick pass to the inspection of another face.
 They passed in rapid review, each de- veloping that queerness, strange and un- real, a queerness which made the man wonder just what life was. Another look and another shudder. An instinctive drawing away from something all dif- ferent from the sweets of nature. Did every face present the same queer quail ity?'' he wondered.
 He moved to the entrance of store and his gaze fell upon the queerest face of the sea of queerness. There was some thing slightly familiar about it. something indefinite, but vaguely reminding him of the fact that he had seen it elsewhere. He studied it closely and it's comical out lines made him grin, huge and broad. He was struck with wonderment when the face grinned back at him and then rapidly changed to one of wondernent itself. But the strange queerness began to develop in it. Strange, freakish and oueerer 1t became, while the familiar ap- pearance of it became all absorbing. Where had he seen it before? It was the ugliest face he had ever seen. Suddenly he gave a start. So did the face The mans mouth dropped in astonishment as he discovered he was gazing in a mirror at the side of the store entrance. Like A hunted dog he glared around to see who was looking, then crushed, and, with an air of utter forlornness. disappeared around the corner like will O the wisp

Half-con- cealed beneath her pail of lurid murk. the city slept, restless throbbing slum- ber Above her hung the sky. blear dome of uncertain blue, which merged into an horizon of unbroken black. Far and wide swept the lowering dun of smoke, hanging here in layer of pale red translucency, there in an unillumined volume of opaoueness. Near the center of the city rose shaft of weak, yellow light, marking the center of her expand ing strength, while. suspended somewhat higher over all, swept a bank of reflected redness.

 And Greater Birmingham stretched, placid in her strength. content in her sea of native niurk, to north and south, east and west. Lines of dim beacons extended in diminishing gleams to the darkness in the north of the valley and the south Far to It's western end moved the city to smoky inflnity, and as far to the east ex- tended her feeIers of fading brightness.
