TEAM
 VOWS SUPPORT
Getting Back Into Shape for the Game in Birmingham
 Saturday

Auburn, October 26.-(Special )-Every Auburn man got behind the football team which came from a defeat in Texas, and made a VOW of loyalty and support, at a noisy student mass meeting held in Langdon hall last night And if the orange and blue team of the Alabama Polytechnic institute don't win every S. l. A. A. game this season, it will be no ones fault. here in Auburn; for the team men, too, touched by the cheering, arose and told the students that they would fight, bleed and die for Auburn. Captain Bonner, former Captain Davis and Sheep Lamb, all members of the team, spoke with real oratorical effect of their intention to come home with the bacon at the end of the season.
 Reynolds Tichenor of Atlanta, the most loyal alumnus and scrappiest football player whom Auburn ever turned out was here to talk to the students, and in his speechmaking he was seconded by Prof Thomas Bragg, faculty manager, and Coach Donahue
 A bit of information was vouchsafed by MT. Bragg, and brought forth a burst of enthusiasm. It was to the effect that a special train will be secured to carry an excursion crowd to Atlanta for the Tech-Auburn game on November 5. The crowd of Auburn students at the Tech game last season that did much toward taking the victory from Tech. Atlanta people will never forget the demonstra- tion and enthusiasm such as Auburn put forth that day.
 The team is rounding back into shape after the hard Texas trip, and Coach Donahue is working fast to bring his bunch into good form for the Missis- sippi Agricultural and Mechanical game in Birmingham next Saturday. Here in Auburn they look at that game as one of the most difficult of the season. and no one here feels easy when he con- templates any possible score. The team probably will leave Auburn tomorrow afternoon.

 en route 10 Selma yesterday afternoon, but made no statement in reference
 to the appointment Of a successor to Judge samuel l.. Weaver. whose death occurred yesterday.
 Many prominent Birmingham men, however are mentioned to succeed the deceased on the bench of the criminal court and it is certain that many pc .tltions will be soon submitted to Gov ernor O'Neal.
 John Mcqueen k prominently men toned Tor the vacated seat and it Is understood that he will have the in- dorsemeut O. many Jefferson coun.% citizens closely affiliated with Governor O'Neal and his administration.

OATES WILL ORDER
 4 NEW JAIL HERE
Present Structure Is made
 quate to Needs
COURTHOUSE RUMORS
Conditions in Court Rooms Bec0m- ing Worse and High Building With Jail on Top Floor
 Being Mentioned

pr. N. H. Oates, state prison inspector, who has just made an investigation Of conditions in the Jefferson county bas- tile yesterday notified the board of reve- me of the county that by April of next year he will order the building of new jail here, and the abandonment of the present structure.
 II was hlso ordered by the inspector that some changes must be made at once. particularly that the kitchen now in use at the jail must be remodeled imme- diately and a new range purchased. so that the food given the prisoners may be prepared in the best possible way.
 Il was given out by the inspector. who was accompanied in hb investigation Wednesday by pr. II. N Rosser, the Jefferson county health officer. that al though the present jail is inadequate to the present needs, 1t Is in as good con- dition as possible under the circumstances, Sherin McAdory was praised for the condition in which the jail Is kept, espe- cially since he has to work under the handicap Of insufficient room. The prison has but recently been thoroughly cleaned and painted throughout
 Conditions in the courthouse were also given attention and an order was made by the health officer that the plumbing in the basement be repaired and put in a sanitary condition.
 4 willingness to give full considera- ton to the needs of the situation was expressed by the Board of Revenue and no time will be lost in making the changes immediately needed. As far as the new jail proposition is con cerned, it is not known exactly what will be done, and the time between now and April l Is adequate to form plans.
 Statements of the inspectors regard ing the crowded condition of the court house have led to number of rumors about new courthouse. It is pointed out by officials of the city court that at the rate business is increasing in that court it will not be long before that tribunal will need one or two more divisions, and that when that time comes, some provision will have to be made to take care of the new courts. Right now, say those in touch with the situation, the city court could use all of the space on the third floor of the courthouse. Larger quarters are needed at this time for the registers office, and existing provisions are inadequate for taking care of the juries in the three city court divisions.
 A suggestion heretofore made that a large steel frame building of several stories be erected and the top portion used for jail purposes while additional court rooms be provided for in the lower floors is said to be under con sideration.
