Weather Conditions

Birmingham, November 4.---7 p. m. , 1t was warmer today except in the ex- trerne northwestern states, the tenn perature rise in the gulf states being $ to 12 degrees. The average for Ala bama was about degrees. The term perature is stil below the normal sew eral degrees in spite of the warm change. s.but nearly normal readings are expeeted in this state Sunday.
 It continued cloudy over the greater portion of the country but precipitaticn was very light, being confined chief ly to the south Atlantic, northern Rocky mountain and Pacific states. Miami, Fla, recorded 1.36 inches for 24 hours. the only station receiving an amount worthy of mention. The posi- tions of the areas of high and low pressure are relatively the same :ls they were this morning, but the areas are losing their energy and the graa- tent between them is becoming less and 1ess. This is q condition that is like ly to cduse continuation of cloudy and rather unsettled weather over tb,. state Sunday, though rainfall Is scarce- ly expected for any extensive portion or the state.

present a part of the time at least IL was also made in the presence of one state official, elected by the people anu two of your appolntees, one of whom e1n- phasized his sphere of influence In the premises, by reading. in reply to state ment made by some one that you would advise with others in the appointment of excise commissioners, a telegram ffoia you to the effect, as he ((Mr Bowman testified that you would see him before any appointment was made. Under these surroundings we think that the denlal or the suggestion that subscription to the stock of the company in which these par ties were interested would be of benefit to applicants for license, was of no effect in removing the impressions the situation must have created. On the contrary, we think 1t actually brought out and crys- talllzed into concrete form the belief which these circumstances must have 1os- tered in the minds of these applicants.
 These circumstances, considered in their cumulative effect carry overwhelm- ing conviction to the candid mind that no other impression could have been pro- duced upon the minds of these applicants for license than that to accept the prop ositions made them would be to further their interests as applicants, and that the statement made to the contrary could not have removed such belief
 I've further report that the facts We have found do not constitute violation of the laws of this state. But we do find that such action on the part of your ap- pointees had tendency to injure your ad- ninstration, of its policies, in the public mind and requires that you remove them from office.
 "In view of our findings of fact as indi- csted above, and of the patent fact that those who are engaged in the public ser- vice. should so conduct themselves that no well founded criticism can be made of their actions, either in their official ca psciiy or tending to affect injuriously the pubic interest or the actions of other officials, we feel constrained to recom- mend the removal from office of MT. Bowman and Dr. Fields.
