BOSS COX ASKS AN
APPEAL FROM COURT

Cincinnati. March 3.-As the first
step in his fight against the indict.
ments alleging purjury, George B. Cox
has filed in the court of common pleas
an affidavit charging Judge Frank NJ.
German with bias and prejudice"
Judge German has presided over the
criminal branch of the court and di-
rected the work of the grand jury
which investigated public affairs in
dieting besides Cox two city officials
county employe, three contractors
and saloon keeper
Prosecuting attorney Henry 7. Hunt
announced a few days ago that he eX-
pected to bring the Cox charges to
trial within fortnight. In that event
the case would have come before
Judge German. whose term as judge
of the criminal court expires April l.
The object Of the affidavit is to
swear the Judge off the bench.
While recent Ohio decisions make il
mandatory upon the judge so sworn
against to vacate, Prosecutor Hunt
declares he will resist this effect OF
the Cox affidavit, if possible.

Bessemer, August 12.-(Special.)-l The local committee of the Saloon Op- position league is planning to make the ensuing week the most active and successful one of the campaign and to arouse the aggressive powers of their constituents. into full play to se- cure the pledges of the voters Hugh McEniry, the local secretary, stated to- day that the prohibition "slush fund" for Bessemer was to be exhausted In expenditures for brass bands, circulars and other ammunition, and every effort made to have record breaking crowds at the public rallies in this district. The ball will be set rolling by R. Pearson Hobson, congressman from the Sixth district. at Rebie hall, Tuesday morning at, Il o'clock and as 10000 in- vitat tions to this address have been scattered throughout this section of the county the audience IS expected to be unusually large.
 Tuesday night pr. Dickinson pastor of the First Baptist church of Bir- mingham, will address the Jonesboro prohibitionists at the schoolhouse.
 Dr. Dickinson was heartily welcomed last Thursday night at the Pleasant Hill schoolhouse of sHueytown and eff fected an organization there. w. F. Urquhart, also of Birmingham, was the second speaker on this occasion. E.. J. Ray was elected chairman and Lucien Parsons secretary of the Saloon Oppo- sition league in beat 40, at this meet ing.
 There has been no great interest or enthusiasm publicly manifested in re- gard to the election cl August 24 by the open saloon forces otherwise than a gum shoe policy and manto man canvass. The fight, if a one-sded en- gagement could be termed such, Is be-
 ing waged by well organized cohorts of the prohibitionists, many of whom, although they are dubious of the vic- tory. are still in the running for their convictions.

FINE ENTRIES FOR GREAT HORSE SHOW This Will Be One of Most Attractive Features of
 Alabama State Fair

While very little has been said about the matter in the press. good deal of interest is being taken in the Horse Show," which is to be held on October and 12 during the Alabama State Falr, and numerous entries of the finest horses in Birmingham, Montgomery and other Alabama cities. as well as from Ken lucky and Tennessee have already been filed.
 Among the noted high school and show horses which will be entered by local owners are those of Mrs. Augustus Ben ners, whose two fine roadsters are in preparation for the event, Mrs. Stokely' 8 prize winners and the fine pair owned by 1T. M. Archibald, which will be schooled by Mrs. Archibald for the contests.
 P. G. Bowman, the well known attor- ney, has a string of elegant roadsters which will be entered in Its entirety both in single and double classes.
 Messrs Albritton of North Birmingham will have their string of colts to exhibit, every one of their entries has been pro nounced exceptionally classy and in the opinion of those conversant with horse shows will be hard to beat.
 Frank Johnson of the Kentucky Livery company says he has one entry under cover with which he expects to surprise exhibitors, while he is actively urging others to participate in the effort to make the horse show a complete success.
 The horse show is one of the many new features of the Alabama State Fair which will be provided for the entertain ment and instruction of those who visit Birmingham during the fair time, and every effort is being put forth to make 1t with all the other events a grand sue cess.
 It will be the society event of the fair. and the enthusiasm which has been dis played in the preparations so far signifies that it will, indeed, be a gala occasion.
 Pursuant to the policy of the Fair as- sociation an expert horseman has been appointed as superintendent of the horse show in the person of Mr. Moxie Flies. the well known owner and dealer of horses.

POPE LONG ON THE
 P0STMASTERSH|P
Must Be Satisfactory To People of Birmingham and
 Must Be Republican

Pope M. Long, who is to be the pres idential referee in this state, effective August s1, and who is to exercise a potent influence in naming a post master for Birmingham, issued his first public statement yesterday, wherein he said that the question of a postmaster had not been taken up and would not be until the state convention met here. In his statement MT. Long said the man to be named here would be sat isfactory to the people of Birmingham and that he would recommend a re- publican.
 His statement follows:
 Regarding the Birmingham post master appointment, will say that l do not anticipate any action looking to the appointment of a successor of Judge Montgomery until after the re- publican state convention, which meets here on August 31 Immediately after wards I expect the question to be taken up, and then Maj. P. D. Barker and will join in @ recommendation to the President of a suitable person for the place. Neither of us is >committe to any person, and will not be, but will carefully go over the situation and con- sider the several applicants before mak- ing any recommendation. l wish to say, however, that we will not recom- mend a man who will not be satis factory to. the people of Birmingham, and who Is not a republican.
 The state matters will be acted upon Jointly by Major Barker and myself and so far as I know there is to be no division of the state in referee mat ters.'
 The statement of MT. Long removes any doubt that the question of post master will be taken up at once. This the developments yesterday in local re- publican circles.
 The following statement of the meet ing was issued by Secretary Kenneth Charlton:7-
 "The republican voters of beat 21 held an enthusiastic meeting at the courthouse at noon. After the selec- tion of J. Rivers Carter as chairman and Kenneth C. Charlton as secretary for the two years ensuing, a commit tee of five was appointed for the se- lection of delegates to the county con- vention to be held next Saturday, Au- gust 19, with the result that the fol- lowing were elected: Alex c.
