vANDALS AT CAPITOL
Young Banana Trees Ruthlessly De-
stroyed During the Night

Montgomery, April 11.--(speciaD--
Vandals visited the state capitol
grounds Wednesday night and de-
stroyed five young banana trees which
had recently been set out by the gar
dener. The trees were planted in front
of the south wing of the capitol, and
were all broken off near the ground
The visit of vandals to the state cap
itol Wednesday night was the first oc-
currence of it's kind in several months.
Adolph Dietrich. the capitol gardener,
has on numerous occasions during the
summer months. when the flowers were
in full bloom, reported depredations to
the flowers, but 1t rarely happens that
vandals visit the capitol for the pur-
pose of destroying the flowers and
plants in the spring and winter
months.
The matter has been reported to the
local police authorities and a vigorous
effort will be made to catch the per-
son or persons who destroyed the ba-
mana trees Wednesday night.

WOMEN WILL SERVE
ON LIBRARY BOARD
Commissioners Prepared to
Overturn a Precedent
AN IMPORTANT WORK
Commission Will Not Interfere With
Operations or Authority of Board
Except as Involves Matters of
Financial or General Policy

The commissioners are prepared to over
turn a precedent and appoint women to
office in Birmingham. That ladies may
apply for places on the newly created il
brary board with every possibility of sue
cess on their side is generally understood
at the city hail.
The library board will have for its fune-
tion the execution of very important
work It will in time to come be looked
npon as one of the most responsible and
iexacting as well as most beneficial agen-
eies of the city government. In no detail
/ will the city commission interfere with
The operations or authority of the library
board except as involves matters of finan-
cial or general policy.
1t is said to be true that the library
board will have an abundance of authori-
ty to do it's work. If that is the case and
the commissioners permit the members
of the library board to do their work
without interference, then the board will
.wield tremendous influence.
That the commission will select the
members of the board with unusual care
land discrimination has been announced.
1.-THE commission will at first appoint five
members, majority of whom will be
men. Nine members are provided for.
yrhe members of the board will be taken
f1rom Ensley, East Lake, Woodlawn,
lAvondale, Birmingham and North Br-
mingham? In other words, all the units
of greater Birmingham are TO be repre-
scented. 1t is planned to make the per-
sonnel typical of the whole city and not
one section.
President Culpepper Exum and Mr.
1Weatherly have both affirmed that they
were unopposed to women being meni-
lbers of the board.
1t is planned to take over from the
hoard, of education the management of
all libraries in this city. The money that
is spent by the board of education every
year for the libraries will be deducted
from the educational board and given 20
the library board. In addition to this
money, it is planned to begin a general
movement for private donations to the
new organization. Interest is to be cre-
ated. New life is to be injected into the
library situation.
This work. in the opinion of the COM
naissioners, calls for men that must be
intensely interested in library extension,
or women so interested If the yare ap-
pointed. That such types will be selected
10 handle the work is taken TO be a fore
gone conclusion at the city hall.
The officials have created the board by
the ordinance which passed a few days
ago. The members are to be selected
now The commissioners have not indi-
Gated when they would elect members to
the board, but it is generally believed that
this work is held to be important and
pressing and therefore should be handled
promptly.

Decision in the Attack on the Consti-

The frs: drawing from the jur!

commission drew thirty-seven name.
hem over to the sheriff to be sum
moned
Judge Mcknight also drew twenty
names to make up the jury for the
November term of the county crimi
.al court These names were also
given to the sheriff to be summoned
Formerly when the venire was Sc
ected the sheriff could call his depu
ty in any section of the county and
give him instructions by telephone
who to summon on the jury. This
cannot be done now, and each officer
must take a special oath not to di-
vulge the names before he is empow-
cred with the authority of service.
Now no one knows who the jurors
for any term of court will be until the
first day of the court when their
names are called out and they are
brought before the bar to qualify.
The making up of the juries will
be made, however, in the same man
ner as heretofore, after the names
have been selected, the names all
being placed in "a hat in the usual
manner.
The constitutionality of the crimi-
lal court was again attacked Friday
the case of the state against Wal
ker Walters, colored, charged with
selling liquor. The case was argued
at length by Thos. H. PEBBLES for the
defendant in the case, and w. C.
Whitthorne for the state.
Judge Mcknight took the matter
under consideration and will render
a decision Tuesday The postpone
ment of the decision was made for
he reason that Judge Mcknight gen
orally has too much other work for
the county on Saturday and Monday
hold court.

GEORGE PEABODY
COLLEGE SAVED
KNAPP SCHOOL PLEDGES ARE
KEPT AND 100000
RAISED.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 1.-The task
of raising the $1,O00OOO for George
Peabody College, in order to secure
the additional 100000 from the ca
body trust, is over and the victory
is won. The last $4,000 came in Fri
day from the Knapp School pledges
The board of trustees had faith in
these pledges all the time and were
glad when they came in.
Now that the million has been rails
ed, the great educational institution
of the South is on a firm foundation
1t had its beginning here and likewise
will have it's triumph. t~
To all those who took part in the
raising of this money, it is source
of much pride. Much of this work
was done by the faithful alumni and
it was largely owing to their untiring
work and the pledges of the Knapp
School that the great gift was saved
to the institution. For months Presi-
dent Bruce X. Payne has been in the
north devoting his entire time to the
raising of the sum- Part of the money
came from the east and west, but by
far the larger part of it from New
York and other sections of the north.
For many months this struggle has
gone on and all those concerned are
glad it is over and that the necessa-
ny amount has been secured 1t was
a worthy cause and deserved the sue
cess that it has won.
