ABERCROMBIE SAYS
 HE IS INELIGIBLE
Declines to Serve as Member of the Educational Association Execu-
 tive Committee

In letter to Secretary ". c. Griggs Of the Alabama Educational association yesterday, John W. Abercrombie re- signed as chairman of the executive committee of the association.
 To be member or the executive committee it Is necessary that one be actively engaged in educational work in this state. As Mir. Abercrombie was recently elected congressman at large from the state he felt that he woufu be ineligible for the position. The fol- lowing letter was received by Secre- tary Griggs:
 Birmingham, Ala, April 6, 1912. w. C. Griggs, Secretary of the Ala
 bama Educational Associations:
 Dear Sir-I have just learned of my election as chairman of the executive committee of the Alabama Educational association and regret to have to in- form you that though feel highly hon cred by this action of the association, l cannot serve. While I may not De technically eligible it is probable that l will become ineligible during the as sociation year. Had I been present at the time of my election I should have declined to nomination in person. Please transmit this in ~ormation to the proper authorities. With warm personal regards and best wishes. I am yours sincerely, JOHN W. ABERCROMBIE."
 MT. Griggs stated la-. night that he thought it probable that no one would be selected to fill MT. Abercrombie' s place and that the committee would continue throughout the year with one member short. It is within the power of President Hobdy to select a new member, however.

FIRST LEWISBURG
 CASE ID BE HEARD Judge Greene Sets the Trial
 for May 6 TWO MORE ARRESTS
Blount County Man Is Lodged in Jail Charged With the Murder of W. H. Rhea Jan
 uary l2, 1909

The trial Of Walter Jones, Arthur Jones. William Watson and John Wade, the four white men charged with the killing of John Holland, a negro at Cat Moun- tain last June was set yesterday morning by Judge Samuel E. Greene for Monday. May G.
 The accused men were indicted Friday morning by the grand jury now in ses- sion, and were arraigned yesterday before Judge Greene charged with the murder of Holland. They all entered a plea of not guilty. C. D. Comstock, attorney for the Jones brothers entered an additional plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. ] Juias Davidson, who is representing the defendant Watson, filed q motion att tac<ing the legality of the grand il". by which the defendants were indicted. Mr. Davidson contended that the jury was not drawn in accordance to law and that some of the members had not the legal right 10 serve. Judge Greene over ruled the motion and set the trial for May c.
 The crime for which the four are in- dicted is said to have been committed over a year ago. The defendants are all well known in the Lewisburg vicinity and much interest Is attached to the trial. as it will be the first growing out of the present investigation of the Lewisburs murder mysteries.
 Yesterday City Detective Cole swore out a warrant against Walter Jones. one of the men indicted for the Holland kiiins, charging him with the murder of Law renee E. Evans, a mining contractor, who was assassnated about two years ago. Judge l. H. Benners issued the warrant. Detective cole is one of the officers as- signed by Chief Bodeker to work on the Lewisburg cases and the issuance of the warrant was the result of his investiga- tions.
 The coroners jury Investigating the as sassination of Felix Ellard and the other 1ewisburg tragedies stands adjourned un- iii Tuesday morning at o'clock. A large number of witnesses have been summoned to appear before the jury and startling developments are expected.
 A significant arrest was made yesterday when John Miller, at present resident of Blount county. but who lived at Coal burg for years was placed in the county jail charged with the murder of W. H. Rhea. who was shot and killed from am- bush at Lewisburg on January le. 1920 Miller was a neighbor Of the Jones boys and he had q difficulty with them, in which he was seriously shot

Several Suggestions Made That Might Mar Harmony
 of State Convention
DELEGATES AT LARGE
 ARE BASIS OF FIGHT
Clayton and Mallory Are Both Promi- nently Mentioned for Convention Chairman-No Opposition to
 Supreme Court Justices

Tn reference to the convention or Aia- bama democrats in Montgomery Aprii l' there are certain reports in circulation which possibly forbode evil to the idea of harmony which Is strongly entrenched in the hearts and minds of those whose interest is centered in oscar w. Under wood
 There Is a report to the effect that an effort will be made to indorse or condemn the administration of Governor O'Neal. There is a report to the effect that an effort will be made to condemn the prl- mary plan of the state democratic ex- ecutiye committed. There Is report to the effect that on account of the issue on which Governor ONeal won the guber- material nomination over Col. Hugh $. D. Mallory. an effort will be made to pre- vent him going as q delegate to the state at large to the national convention.
 E. K. Campbell leader of the Under wood campaign in Alabama, is exceed inglv hopeful that none of these reports will materialize, and that the situation will not be marred by inharmonious clashes of those with spite or personal ambition.

Purposes of Convention


 ambition.
 Purposes of Convention
 There are two reasons for the conven- ton. The first is 10 elect two justices or the supreme court; the second to elect the members of delegation to represent Ala bama in the national democratic conven- ton.
 Should the action of the convention be limited to the subjects contained in the call, there will be nothing done in refer ence to the present state administration, or the action of the state committee. IL is pointed out that there will be sufficient opportunity for the most strenuous to display his peculiar talents, even if no fights along the time worn line of pro- hibition is preclpitated. In the first place the state committee. which meets April IS, will probably disagree concerning which of several prominent Alabamians it should nominate as temporary chairman of the convention. When the committee has set tied this matter to the satisfaction of itself it is not at all improbable that a fight will occur on the floor as to whether or not the nominee of the state committee shall be elected
 Another scrlmmage that cannot be avoided will occur over the election of delegates to the national convention from the state at large Delegates from the various congressional districts will be selected, it is thought, by the delegates from the respective districts, and the action of the districts subsequently, ap- proved by the convention as whole.
 The Temporary Craftsmanship
 Several gentlemen have been mentioned as worthy material out of which to make a temporary chairman. The most favored, it Is believed Is Congressman Henry D. Clayton of the Third district who Is ad- mitted to be an excellent speaker, q fine parliamentarian, and one of the strongest Underwood men In the United States. The next strongest candidate, according to os- innate. is Colonel Malloryeof Selma. It is reported that in addition to making a fight before the committee for the nom ination of Colonel Mallory, his friends. in case of their defeat, will renew the fight from the floor of the convention.
 The fight over the delegation to the national convention from the state at large viii probably evolve itself into Q movement for and against Governor ONeal. Senator Bankhead and Senator Johnston E. K Campbell. Hugh s. D. Mallory, Jesse r. sStallings. A. D. Pitts and others have been mentioned as can didates. It Is understood that Tyler Goodwin, chairman of the state commit- tee, has concluded not to enter the con test for the delegation.
 To Reg Justices
 The committee will elect by exclamation Justices Mcclellan and Sayre to serve other terms on the bench of the supreme court. Delegates from the various districts will be nominated by the districts representa- tives and elected by the convention with out opposition.
 It is seen. therefore, that the greater portion of time will be consumed in elect ing a temporary and then a permanent chairman, and in electing a delegation 10 the national convention from the state at large.
 Should other battles be pitched in ac- cordance with the reports referred to above it is difficult to indicate just how long the convention will be in session

Immediately adjacent is a thickly populated negro settlement and two
 blocks away begins the white resident section, ours included. This fostering
 and decomposing mass of filth sent out it's noisome odors and pollution all last
 summer on every passing breeze, mak- ing 1t impossible for us to sleep at
 night, and the great swarms of flies and mosquitoes that infested the dis trict made it impossible for us to ac- cupy our porches during the schorching days last summer. Besides the accu-
 mutation of filth there are great holes of water that are right today green with ooze and slime which within them selves are sufficient to spread disease for many blocks, and all of this refuse Is only awaiting the enlivening rays of
 the summer sun to send its pollution
 out on it's life destroying mission.
