BIRMINGHAM BOY
 SEEN AT MAJESTIC
Frank Melvin kamplain Seen in Act by Many Former Friends
 This Week

"One often wonders,' said an inter- ested theatregoer yesterday, where an tie team workers in vaudeville come from" and the question is solved, at least concerning one-half of the Kampiain and Bell team over at the Majestic this week, as MT. Frank Melvin Kamplain is q former Birmingham boy.
 Mir. Kamnlain lived here some years ago and vert to the public schools, where he received his education and many of his old friends have been in the large audiences this week to see him in his Act" which he and his wife, Dixie girl herself. are doing.
 Mir. Kamplain expresses himself very agreeably surprised at the great progress Birmingham has made since his last visit here.
 Then" he said, there were no sky scrapers and no prospects of zoo, only a playhouse or two, and altogether 1t was quire different It is awfully hard for a fellow to come back to his home town and make good, for everybody re- members him as the youngster they used to know and they are all from Missouri and have to te shown as far as his ability is concerned.

WANT WOMAN ON
 EDUCATION BOARD Petition Presented by Equal
 Suffrage League IS NO VACANCY NOW
Petition Drafted in View of the Rumors That Colonel Sam Will John Will Soon
 Resign

In the event there Is a vacancy on the Board of Education the Equal Suf- frage league of Birmingham desires that a woman be appointed. peti- tion stating that the ladies of Bir- mingham were entitled to that much consideration was filed with the city commission yesterday. Miss Ethel Armes, secretary of the league. con veyed the petition to the commissions ers.
 At this time there is considerable talk to the effect that Col. Samuel Will John will shortly resign his position on the board, thereby necessitating the election of new member. The choice is made by the city commission after a tentative conference with the Board of Education. No specific vacancy was re- ferred to by the request of yesterday morning.
 The petition states that many wom-
 en of Birmingham are entirely capable of filling the place mentioned and that the ladies of Birmingham should bt work. The names of Mrs. Solon Jacobs, Mrs r. M. Jackson, Mrs W. & Lowell, pr Annie Robinson, Mrs. A. l.. Williams
 and other prominent women of Bir-
 minghan1 are presented for considera'
 tion for the place with no special re
 quest as to any one of those named
 being elected. The commission re ceived the petition and it was filed
 without comment or action. It vii
 doubtless be referred to the Board oi
 Education for consideration and recon
 mendation.
 Commissioner Lane said yesterday
 that the petition had been filed, but hs | had no comment to make upon whai
 attitude the city officials would take In the matter. pr. John L. Parker l president of the Board of Education
 was not inclined yesterday to dis courage the movement to place a wom- an on the Board of Education. While pr. Parker said he did not feel at lib erty to discuss the matter publicly he observed: You know woman
 Ella Young Flagg, is at the head of the schools Tn Chicago. Again women pre- dominate among the teachers by about | so per cent, while the enrolment oi girls Is about 50 per cent of the total enrolment. Women of culture and ability as those suggested for a place on the board here would lend dignity and power for good to any institu- tion"

WALKER DISMISSES
 CASE AGAINST ALLEN

Judge William NJ. Walker of the city court yesterday sustained the mo- ton of Solicitor Hefin to dismiss the case of Robert l.. Allen, who has been confined in the county jail for several weeks on a charge of criminal assault, and the defendant was released from custody. He has another criminal case against him but 1t is a bailable one and he win probably make bond.
 Allen was arrested at the instance
 of Miss Mary Murphy. He was given
 preliminary bearing before Judge
 Benners who committed him to Jail without bond. His attorney filed ha- beas corpus proceedings before Judge Walker. seeking his release. The case was heard last Monday and after hear
 ing the evidence Judge Walker con
 sidered 1t insufficient and the de- fendant was discharged. Attorneys Feagan & Painter. who prosecuted the case. gave notice of appeal. The de-
 fendant's attorneys. Judge Fort and vassar Allen, combatted the appeal on the grounds that the defendant was
 confined in the county jail on a init
 timus and had not been indicted. The case went over until yesterday morn ing when Solicitor Hefin made the motion to dismiss the appeal. Lengthy arguments were made by counsel on both sides. and at the conclusion Judge Walker sustained the motion.

HUNDRED SUIT IS ID
 TEST COMMISSION
Discuss Suit of Former City
 Officials
EUSTIs NOT IN SUIT
Major Smith States Every Doubtful Section of Birmingham Com mission Bill Will Be Att
 tackled in the Suit

Ar impression gained consideration yes terday that the proposed suit of former city officials for salaries alleged to be due for services surrendered by reason of their removals when the commission government went into force was the threatened test of the commission form of government in Birmingham.
 It is said that in the legal fight that is to be waged every section of the com mission bill around which there is the slightest doubt will come in tor exami- nation.
 Such an impression seemed to rest with leved that such test was under way and was part of the general plan. He also reaffirmed his previous statement that the suit will avail nothing but will rebound to the good of the commissions
 Major Ed Smith, who is to lead the fight for the former officials, said that llo did not doubt but what the entire commission bill would be involved in the fight. He said the former city officials had D good case and were determined tc get their money if possible but that the power of the commission and it's legality would be tested in the suit.
 In the meantime George Eustis, whc was city comptroller. officially announced yesterday that he was not and will no become party to the suit for salary. Hs said
 "I took it that the commission was 2 new proposition to try to make good and that 1t were not supposed to retain those officials whom it's members did not want accepted my release in the spirit oi wishing the new organization well. l was elected as the others, but I should not become party to the suit. I have nc objection to seeing the boys get their money, If they are entitled to it, but view the matter in different light"
 Capt Romaine Boyd made this state- ment yesterday in reference to the suit of certain former city employees:
 q consider the proposition as beins directly resultant of the excessive heat wave under which we have sweltereo so many days. Nothing more.'
 The Honorable James Weatherly, to whom this observation was directed chuckled delightfully."-.
