ALEXANDER NOT
 GUILTY OF MURDER

A verdict of not guilty was returned yesterday morning at 10:9O o'clock by the jury in the case of Robert H. Alexander, whose trial for the killing of A. o. Liddon last May had occupied the entire week. The case went to the jury about o'clock in the evening of the preceding day. A large crowd of spectators were in the courtroom yesterday morning awaiting the decision of the jury, and in spite of the fact that Judge Cahaan had instruct ed that no demonstration be made on the return of the jury, there was applause from the friends of the defendant when the verdict for acquittal was read.
 Before discharging the jury Judge Caha- Ian took the opportunity of thanking them for their interest in the proceedings and stated he was impressed with the manner in which they had served throughout the entire trial. When court was dismissed the friends of Alexander crowded around him and congratulated him on his acquit- tai.

RAISE COMPLAINT
 AGAINST OFFICERS Mobile Commission Election
 Set for June , VETS REUNION QUIET Mobile Now Faces Two Big Fights. It Is Feared That the Polling
 Managers Are Packed
 Against Commission
VETS REUNION QUIET

Mobile. May e.-(special)-A question that has arisen. anent the election upon commission government, which is to be held in this city on June 5, and which bids fair to cause more or less disaffec- tion before it is finally decided, is that of returning officers. inspectors and clerks, recently named to conduct the election by Mayor Pat J. Lyons, and who are vigorously objected to by the com mission government committee, headed by w. T. McGowin, on the ground that majority of the appointees are henchmen followers of the present administra- tion and that, as such, it will be i'm possible for. the commission government followers to secure a square deal at the polls. Following the publication of the list formal protest was lodged with the mayor, after which a conference was held at which the matter was dis cussed In all it's phases, but as yet the matter has not been settled to the satis- faction of the commission government crowd and the chances appear to be in favor of the appointees of the mayor be- Ing retained.
 tsHdlTnldH MctIONln duHouutSu ioudy that, beginning next week, vigorous campaign of education would be under taken, 10 be inaugurated with public mass meeting, with a view to thorough ly informing every citizen relative to the form of government which it is pro- posed to adopt, and that this campaign would be kept up until the last vote was cast MT McGowin stated that while he did not believe there would be or ganized opposition to the adoption of the new plan, he was sure there would be opposition by those already in office and whose positions might be jeopardized were commission government adopted, especially in view of the drastic action of the Birmingham commissioners in chopping political heads right and left immediately the reins of power were transferred to them.

Jackson, Miss, May 6.-(special)- )-For- mer State Senator J. Hiram McGehee of Franklin county, has given Charles J. Moore the accountant. who is making an investigation of the books and records of the governors office, a written statement to the effect that during the White Cap troubles in his county in 1905 and 1906, Governor Vardaman was appealed to by the law-abding citizens of the county to break up the lawlessness. Governor Vardaman told them he had no money in his contingent fund, but that if they woud raise the money between them and lend it to him he would see that it was paid back at the next session of the leg isature or pay it out of his next years contingent fund. The governor did neither. and they have never seen their slOO0 cash that was placed in his hands, nor has any accounting ever been made of 1t, 1t Is claimed.

Wet or Dry Question


 Although the double -barreled' petition which was drawn up under the direction of Dan Callaghan for presentation to the legislature, praying that the legislators get busy and pass legislation that would permit of an election upon the wet or dry question being called in Mobile coun- ty, and which also provided that the same petition might be submitted to the judge of probate and the names certified for the purpose of calling an election under the terms of the enabling law, has been in the hands of the wet" committee for many weeks, no move has yet been made to file it, and it is now believed that no action will be taken with a view to calling a wet or dry election until sometime in June, and that if this cleo ton votes in favor of license that it will be the last of July before licenses are available. Information relative to the in tentions of the "wet" element is hard to get, but it is the general belief that the petition is being held up for a time in order that the campaign for license and the campaign for commission gov ernment may not conflict. It is hinted, in some circles, that the commission gov ernment election was purposely called ahead of the local option election in or der that organized opposition might be cut off in advance, the idea being that the liquor men would not feel that they could afford to antagonize the commis- sion government crowd by taking stand in opposition to the commission form of government

BY WALTER HARPER

Birminghams population consists or South Highlanders and suburbanites.
 There are a few others but they are boarding housekeepers and parasites.
 Before Birmingham inflated it's chest and let out it's girth it had more suburban towns than any other city of the same size in the union. The physical condi- tions are the same though the political conditions have been changed. Imagin- ary lines cut but little figure though con crete imagination does go a long way at times.
 When the adjoining towns were real ly independent they boasted of their in- dependence but it was noticed that when a sunburbanite registered at New YorR or Montgomery he always put it "Bir- mineham." Now he can do this without a feeling that somebody may be watch ing him.
 Birmingham has its suburban conditions and they are ideal. No city of suburbs can present a larger and broader vari- ety to choose from. You shuttle the deck ana select Nudt you Wdhe. II oiio 5SeS too hot or familiar you can move to an- other miles and miles away and still be in easy reach of the moving picture shows and the baseball park.
 There is no law against keeping a COW and chickens in any of them and no one has yet been arrested for talking about "her' neighbors.
 We suburbanites ARE for various rea- sons.
 Those various reasons could never be cataloged
 Some of them we either will not ad- init or we deny.
 Some of us were born there while oth- CTS drifted there or we were deceived by false glory.
 in the face that there is no place in the world like it.
 There isn't.
 The "why-pay-ren decoy is responsi- ble for much of the migration to the su- burbs. Then we do not "come back" for the same reason that Napoleon stumbled on his return trip to Paris and Jeffries fuked before cloud of wind. We can't.
 But the way the "Why-pay-rent' sign should be regarded pretty much as the stop. Look and Listen" sign at the rail- road crossing.

of the other class of urban inhabitants.
 "On the Circle the atmosphere is characterized by the smell of gasoline, the soulless grind of player-pianos ana the whine of poodles. In the suburbs you catch the smell of cabbage, the cackle of chickens, the persistent cooing of babies and the whine of the graphophone.
 The people of Ensley sleep, eat and think, eat and think to the tune of the steel plants rumble. If its voice should suddenly cease at the closest hour of midnight every inhabtant would wake up and tremble.
 Pratt City guards it's reputation and watches Ensley.
 West End is characteristic for it's. ex- elusive social fineness and loyalty to church and school. It has large and thrifty rising generation and naturally takes interest in these matters.
 Woodlawn is very much like West End if you promise not to tell either of them that make the comparison. Wood lawn is strong on social classes. The women read department store adds and the men read the sporting page. I once saw a man coming out of MoodlaWn reading Shakespeare on the car.
 East Lake is a world unto itself. The people are very fond of Birmingham and come to town quite often. srA
 North Birmingham is the most striking ly independent suburb in the group. The people hardly ever come to town and when they do they get back over the hill before sundown. They are mighty good people, though, and are worth cul- tivating.
 Fairview and Owenton form an isthmus joining two larger bodies and in this re- spect are an important part of the Bir- mngham system The inhabitants eat beans and patronize the moving picture shows They own their own homes and can afford to let people talk about them.
 The people of Powderly like flowers and saurkraut. They cannot be bad, though they do not care to associate with some of the other suburbs. tsa
 Roebuck Springs has always maintained favorable reputation and social ex- clusveness that has ever been a source of envy to Avondale people. However. this suburb is trying to ape the "Circle" even to the extravaganza of a Country club and it will probably bear watch ing, @4a

THE SUBURBANITE

Some the Joys and the Sorrows of Those Who Live Far From the Maddening Crowd Where the Neghbors Talk About Each Other and Where Church Socias and Occasional Visits to Moving Picture Shows Are the
 Principal Diversions
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-05-07


 The people on the circle diverse their idle moments in playing golf, bridge and motoring. The suburbanite finds diversion in envying the other class, feeding the chickens, conducting church suppers, and riding in the street cars. One is really as happy as the other.
 The habits of the suburbanite differ according to location with few notable exceptions. They all have mania for quired from force of habiD, trying to break the grocery monopoly with a 3O- cent garden, trying to dress like the peo- pie on the Circle and discussing in confidential undertone the "scandalous carryings-on" of the people across the street.
 The men hump forward from carrying heavy and numerous bundles and reading intently on cars crowded with women, and the women hump backward from try ing to keep from having to recognize the wife of the bricklayer who persists ir living in the same block with carpenter and dry goods clerks and vice versa.
 The male suburbanite usually wears g passionate necktie and sad expression You can usually recognize us by our large feet and last season hat He has a habit of slipping away to the ball game whenever the opportunity presents it. self and he is always an enthusiast ur. less his wife happens to be along. Ther if is a hOresOme dlty
 The female suburbanite keeps within three and a half degrees of the latest agony in fashion and always comes UT smiling unless her next door neighbor is out in & two and one-half degrees style Then something happens that Is over looked by the police reporter.
 The difference between the meekness of the attached male suburbanite and the attached "Circleite" is that he shows 1t in public.
 You can find the geographical location of the suburb of any city without a map or guide book. You can also as easily find the more circumscribed habitat

But why we are suburbanites is im- material. We are and that leaves nothing to tell but the story.
 The difference between the man who lives in the Circle is that one is and the other would like to be. Apply the comparison either way and it will work.
 The struggle for social supremacy diff fers only in degree. The pity of it is the same. The heartache is the same. The bitterness of envy is the same. Tho sham is the same.
