ant to be thought of in connection
with post of honor like that occupied
by Judge Hardy, and | am compliment.
ed if the good people of Kauai have

in the California State Fair, at Sacra-

 But the ex-governor had little to say.
 Before leaving for Mississippi last night Mir. Conner asked The Age-Herald re- porter:
 Where did you get that story?'
 Prom Hobson, chiefly" was the re- ply.
 But I mean" he continued, where did you get the seed you planted a week ago? You were talking about it then to me"
 It was the reporters time to assume the evasive tactics which are used so extensively by Mir. Conner.
 'But, Governor" he asked, you will have nothing further to say?''
 ''Nothing further than that I expect great sport in Mississippi" he replied
 The story was the chief subject of gossip throughout yesterday. Few peo- ple, however, were willing to be quoted as having expressed opinions.

FREE LEGAL AID
 BUREAU FORMED Lawyers League Responsi- ble for New Charity HOW THE PLAN WORKS  Legal Services Will Be Given Free to the Poor and Unfortunate.
 Meeting Will Be Held
 Friday
HOW THE PLAN WORKS
BY CHARLES H. MANDY.

A free legal aid bureau for Birming- ham Is now an accomplished fact The Lawyers league, which was organized for progress and reform, Is sponsor for the new charity.
 At a recent meeting of the Lawyers league, a resolution was adopted direct ing President George Huddieston to ap- point five members of the league to constitute the free legal aid bureau. Under this authority the president has appointed Judge Hugo L. Black, Ben Davis. Isidore Shapiro R. Dupont Thompson and Clement Wood as mem- bers of the bureau. Each of the ap- pointees is a lawyer of ability and many of them have had experience as social workers.
 Under the resolution adopted the president was authorized to appoint a director for the bureau; this he prefers to leave to tho members themselves who will meet at an early date and select one of their number for that posi- ton. It Is expected that the bureau, in mapping out it's work, will adopt rules for It's guidance. which will cover the assignment of matters of which it may assume charge. An accurate re- port of all cases handled by them will be made in detail.
 The free legal aid bureau is designed to act as the guardian of the poor and unfortunate. Persons having claims with merit and who are without means to prosecute them may call on the bu- reau for assistance, and poor debtors who are being unjustly persecnted may have their interests protected withouc charge. The action of the Lawyers league In launching this badly needed charity cannot be too highly commend ed, and the philanthropy and self sacri- flee of the members of the bureau, who are all busy men, and who have undertaken this onerous work Is to be highly commended.
 The next meeting of the Lawyers league will be held at the courthouse on Friday afternoon, November 22, at ! o'clock. An interesting programme has been arranged and all members are nrged to attend. It is contemplated that A banquet to the members will be given in short time
 The Lawyers league Is one of Bir- mfngham's un1que organizations. lts memb ership is composed of over 200 or the leading members of the Birming- ham bar. and it is expected that it will prove an important factor in iegal re- forms and progressive measures of ben eft to the city. county and state
