COMMISSIONERS
 VISIT PICTURES Exum and Weatherly See James Boys-Say Are
 . Legitimate

The moving picture show showing some of the escapades of the noted James Boys, their hold up of banks. trains and sheriffs was looked over yesterday by President Culpepper Exum and Commissioner James Wea,herly to see whether the youth of Birmingham would be injured by looking at the picture.
 The action of the majority of the com- mission was taken after H. Scudder Ryall, censor of moving picture shows, reported the protests and his finding to Commis- sioner Lane of the department of justice.
 Commissioner Lane gave the case to the commission as a whole. He did not attend the theatre, however, where the picture is being shown.
 After the inspection President Exun and MT. Weatherly both expressed the view that no one need be offended at the picture, as it was no more injurious to the morals of the youth than hundreds of other moving pictures which were, passed by uncomplainingly or many "girlie girlie shows put on at legitimate theatres.

BELIEVE ALBANIAN TIE LEADING MAN Underwood Has Taken the Place of Gov. Harmon WILSON SECOND MAN
  Democratic Executive Committee Meets in Montgomery in Janu- ary to Decide on lnstruc-
 tions to Delegation
WILSON SECOND MAN

Montgomery. October 31.--(Speeiai) That Coy. Judson Harmon of Ohio has been practically eliminated from the democratic presidency list in the state of Alabama; and that his place has been finally taken by Congress man oscar w. Underwood of Bir- mingham, is the opinion of the great majority of politicians who daily jour ney to the Capital City from all sec tions of the commonwealth. That the democratic nomination race, further, will be between Underwood and Gov. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey is generally conceded.
 The name of Governor Dix of New York has been dropped from the mum Der of possibilities as has the name of Mayor Gaynor of the same state. Speaker Champ Clark of Missouri has a favorable following in the state, but he has not the strength in Alabama of the Ohio candidate The race, IS q consequence, in so far as Alabama is concerned, is believed to have mar roWed down to Underwood, consery;i- tive. and Wilson, progressive.
 Special articles which have appeared from time to time in the press of the north, east and west are being gradual ly recognized in the south as indicative of the growing Underwood strength. For q time il was thought that the Under wood boom was corolary of the Har- mon candidacy, but the favor in which the Alabamian's candidacy is taken is now supposed to mean that the Ohioan has been outstripped in the race, ana that the most probable candidate of the entire party is Underwood, closely pushed by Governor Wilson.
 The congressional record, as well as the political record of the Alabamian is declared to be as clean as that of the New Jersey executive.
 Whether or not primary will be held to determine how the Alabama delega- ton shall be instructed, Is as yet a mat ter of doubt, though either in the pri- mary or convention route it is taken that Mir Underwood will be indorsed, while Wilson will be the second in the race The state democratic executive commit tee meets in Montgomery about the mid de of January, and at this session the question will be decided, as well as ques- lions pertaining to the 1912 state cleo tiens.

CITY ADVERTISING PLANS DEVELOPING Chamber of Commerce Has Several Unique Plans
 Under Way

Since the adoption of the new emblem for Birming ham by the Chamber of Commerce advertising committee, of which T. A. Weller is chairman, and the new folder, How Birmingham Crows" has been circulated, the com- mittee has inaugurated plans for the advertising of Birmingham that will make "The City of Payrolls" known throughout the country.
 The latest literature added to tho stack of advertising matter is the pock- ct map of this city made by the Kelley Co, enclosed in cover printed with figures showing Birmingham's rapid strides in population and business. The committee has purchased thousand of these pocket maps for exclusive distribution in other cities and as this map is the first of it's kind and size to be produced for retailing here, il is expected to be in great demand by those persons interested in the lay of the mountains, the proximity of Corey and the new lines of Greater Bir- mingham. On this map, which is re- production of the larger one used hy the majority of the business firms, all public parks and buildings industrial plants, cemeteries sub divisions of the city. the hills of Red and Shades noun
 tains and the creeks flowing between
 the railroads and county highways are marked as well as the streets and blocks, which are numbered.
 The committee hopes to have the new emblem printed on the face of every check issued by the banks o Birmingham, which in many instances exchange with similar institutions in all parts of the world and through
 their depositors send their drafts abroad
 The following letter was received by
 the chairman yesterday from Rober'
 Jemison, Jr., of the Jemison Real Els | tate company, in regard to the new Birmin gham- folders:
 Dear Sir-I wish to congratulate | you upon the very attractive pamphlet | How Birmingham Crows We have re. Guested the Chamber of Commerce tt furnish us with this data for imme' diate distribution.
