NEWTON CREATES A
SCENE IN COURT AS
WYATT TAKES STAND.
Repudiates Alleged Confess
sion to Burglaries, But Is
Found Guilty by
the Jury

That's the man that forced me to
say what did It's lie, you dog; it's a
lie," shouted Louis Newton, on trial for
burglary and grand larceny, as Officer
Wyatt took the stand and was testifying
for the state. The case went to trial
yesterday in the second division of the
criminal court before Judge w. e. Fort,
and it was during the examination of the
states witnesses that the defendant
jumped to his feet and excitedly made
the above statement. Judge Fort ordered
the bailiffs to keep him quiet and not
allow him to interrupt the proceedings
of the court.
Newton, it will be recalled, was arrested
charged with a series of burglaries and
much property, alleged to have been
stolen, was found at his residence beyond
East Lake. He is alleged to have con-
fessed to a large number of burglaries
and there are indictments pending against
him in the criminal court
: His attorneys entered plea of not
guilty and not guilty by reason of in
sanity The defense introduced several
prisoners confined in the county jail who
testified as to the strange and unusual
conduct of the prisoner while in jail await
ing trial
The jury found him guilty as charged
in the indictment. He was returned to the
county Jail. There are five other cases
on the same charge docl1eted against him.
He was defended by d. J. Davis and
Judge James Davis. Assistant Solicitor
Ed Winston represented the state.

HARDING WILL PROBABLY
NAME COMMITTEE TODAY

President Harding of the Chamber OF
Commerce did not announce his appointees
yesterday to call upon the governor in
the interest of calling an extra session.
He is going to make sure that every man
appointed by him is in position to accept
the appointment before saying anything,
and it is probable that he will make the
announcement today.
The result of the mass meeting held at
the Chamber of Commerce auditorium
Thursday afternoon is a cause for gen.
eral rejoicing, according to the gossip and
conversations heard in business circles
Yesterday The people of Birmingham
seem to be standing back of the Chamber
of Commerce in anything it desires to do
that may bring about the needed relief
for Birmingham, and it is easily seen
that the sentiment favors the calling of
an extra session.
The governor of Alabama will, in all
likelihood pass through Birmingham the
early part of next week. He has an en-
gagement at Florence and Will pass
through the city twice during the week.
on one of these occasions the delegation
to be appointed by Mr. Harding will have
a conference with him. The impression
seems to prevail that the extra session
will be called.

DIR. DENNY ISSUES
LETTER OF APPRECIATION

DR. George FL. Denny, president of the
University of Alabama, the man chiefly
responsible for the University Free Dis
pensary campaign, which has just raised
goo by which TO erect new free dis
pensary in this city, yesterday issued the
following letter:
ITO the Editor of The Age-Herald:
II desire to express through you to
the people of Birmingham and Jeffer-
son county my appreciation of the very
handsome response to the appeal for funds
for the erection of free dispensary to
be conducted for the benefit of this COM
munity under the auspices of the Uni
versity of Alabama.
ut is, of course, true that we shall need
larger sum to complete the task to
which we have set our hands. Yet it will
be gratifying to all good citizens that we
are able to begin the work feeling as
sured that in due time we shall reach the
desired goal.
Birmingham has again illustrated that
fine spirit of eo-operati tion that has within
a single generation wrought the miracle
of building out of nothing into power
and splendor this great industrial center
whose fame is today heralded across TIE
seas and around the world
1T is infinitely to the credit of the
people of this city that they can, when
occasion arises, give such splendid demon
stration of the fact that this is a city OF
spiritual as well as of material primacy
Yours very sincerely,
GEORGE II. DENNY, President"

MISS FANCY GROWS

The Elephant Will Perform

Miss Fancy" is becoming more and

Prior to the speaking, there will be A
parade under the direction of Field Mar
shall e. j. McCrossin. This parade will be
formed at the courthouse at o'clock and
will be marched through the business Sec
tions of the city.
1t is anticipated that the auditorium
with seating capacity of practically 1000
will be filled with enthusiasts. 1t is un-
derstood that many beats of the county
will be represented, and that many ladies'
of Birmingham and the surrounding terri
tory desrous of complimsnting Mr.. I'm
derwood by their presence, will attend.
Mr. Underwood returned yesterday
morning from Dothan, where Thursday
he delivered an address TO thousands of
citizens representing several of the pro-
gressive counties of the wire grass. He
was delighted with the reception which
was accorded him. 1t was said in the
press dispatches that the crowd which
heard Mr. Underwood was the largest ever
gathered together in the history of
Dothan.
II discussed the issues of the cam
paign," said Mr. Underwood, "and re-
ferred to my opponent in way of refutiug
the untenable charges which he has pre-
ferred against me, and which he has not
attempted to prove, and in way of pre-
senting his record to the people | was

WILL NOT PERMIT
USE OF HANDB|LLS
ON C|TY'S STREETS
Commission Worried by Lit
tered Condition of Pave
ments and Cancels
All Permits

Many citizens have complained within
the last few days about the Uttered con-
dition of the streets with political hand
bills advertising meetings. theatrical post
yers and all kinds of advertising cards.
Therefore, the commissioners passed a
resolution at the meeting yesterday can
ceiling all permits now existing and de-
claring that futures acts of such kind
would be diligently prosecuted.
The commissioners feel that this mat
ter accommodating ON the streets makes
them unsightly and is an infringement of
the ordinance prohibiting the throwing
of trash on the streets. The matter is
usually circulated by men and boys who
stuff the bills into the pedestrians hand,
about nine-tenths of whom drop the bill
to the street without looking at it.
The resolution is as follows:
Whereas, 1t is becoming customary for
many business houses. theatres and citi-
zens to distribute circulars and advertfs-
ing matter and political dodgers on the
streets of the city, and,
Whereas This tends not only to lit
ter the streets. avenues and sidewalks
and making same unsightly but is an
infraction of section $50 of the city code
prohibiting the depositing or throwing
of any trash, etc, whatsoever on the
public streets of the city; now, therefore
be it
Resolved by the board of commissions
ers of the city of Birmingham, That from
and after this date this practice will moi
longer be permitted; that any permit now
outstanding permitting such practice il
hereby revoked, and the police and san.
u
to see that section $50 of the city code
te complied with.
