seems TO me that such comment is
wholly irrelevant and an unkindness to
Mr. Bailey
The matter ended there. not because the
District Attorneys objection was sus-

continue the subject But the shot hit
its mark. After the session Mr.. Bailey
said that II had been entirely out of his
mind to arouse such sentiment M Mr..
Graham had made and said that to-mor-
row he will find seat for himself In
some other part OF the court room,
Mr.. Graham through the entire session
was wholly persuasive with the talesmon
rather than mandatory. There was NJ
doubt that he made a favorable inn
preston on the men. He seemed 10 be
saying TO them all tho time: "Now
gentlemen, as matter OF fact / do not
doubt the integrity of any one Of You and
only regret that YOU cannot all serve on

Eugene f. Carpenter, the eleventh jury
man chosen, admitted that no had on -
employed Assistant District Attorney
Weeks as "A lawyer. but this fact was
passed over by Mr.. Graham when the
talesman said that a previous business

District Attorney passed fivorably on a

that woman should rot be subjected TO

Again and again he brought up the sub

like a serious disagreement between the

The business Of selt citing jury started

was quickly dismissed on District Attor-
ney Smiths chailenge. because he did not
believe in clrcumstantial evidence This
was the first glimpse that the spectators
Rot into the prosecutors hand.
Each one OF the succeeding talesmen
called had the same question put to them
by the District Attorney, showing with
out much doubt. as In fact has been
known that an important part OF the
prosecutions case will be based on cir
cumstantiai evidence.
As soon as Mir Graham got a chance AT
the second tale Sman he began to ask ques-
tons about William ]. Burns. II very
soon became evident from these questions
that the defence has guessed that Mr..
Burns will be called BY the prosecution
and that Mr. Graham placed great i'm

This was just twenty-five minutes after
the trial had begun. As Ludlam was
sworn Mr. Graham leaned over and said
a few words 10 Mrs Carman. She glanced
at her first juryman and smiled. Justice
Kelhy wrote something with blue pencil.

Their examination had not been as

volunteered the information that he WASH I

wife to do the same. This brought a
smile from Or. Carman and from every
one else. so far as could be seem ex-
cepting only Mrs Carman.
It was somewhat remarkable that Mrs
Carmnn did not take a visible hand IN
the selection Of the jury. In each in

and chatted after the selection Of each

LANE IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS TODAY
 IN SUPREME COURT
Charges Brought Against Sheriff of Chambers County Will Be
 Investigated

Montgomery, July H.-tSpecial)-Im- reachment proceedings against Sheriff John w. Lane of Chambers county will be heard In the supreme court tomorrow. The proceedings wore brought by Att torney General Robert C. Brickell at the request of the governor. who was in- formed several weeks ego of various H. legal acts on the part of the Chambers county sheriff. The most serious charge against Sheriff Lane involved moral tur- Itude in office, his accusers having been q number of widowed women and igno rant negroes
 The governor heard several delegations from Chambers county in reference to the charges against Sheriff Lane. and finally gave that official @ hearing before directing the attorney general to bring custer proceedings The purport of all the testimony presented to the governor by friends of Sheriff Lane was that he bore good character none against him having been refuted by any of his witnesses.
 The hearing of the case was set by the supreme court within 20 day safter the papers had been fled and notice was ib- mediately served upon Sheriff Lane
 The st8te is prepared to prosecute the case with vgor and determination. while the defense will put up a strong fight to have the charges dismissed. Twenty wit nesses have been summoned by the state.

NEXT LEGISLATURE
 MAY MAKE CHANGE
 IN THE COMMISSION
Substitute Five for Three Members, Reduce Salary and Give Them Ex-
 else Authority

From the attitude of representa- tives- elect and city authorities 1t is safe to predict that the legislature in it's next regular session will, among other changes to be made in the commission form of government bill increase the num- Der of commissioners for cities of more than 100000 population from three to five.
 Iii the near future, there will be a con sultation by the gentlemen who will rep resent Jefferson for the ensuing four years in the general assembly, city com missoners, and certain of those citizens who have always displayed a keen in- terest in commission for moi govern ment
 The bill providing for the changes will be introduced by Thomas J. Judge, who will represent Jefferson in the senate. It will provide for an increase in the number of commissioners from three to five. It will provide for reduction from the present salary paid a commissioner, and future officials will receive sooOo per annum instead of s7000
 George B. Ward president of the com mission, has not authorized an interview in connection with this matter which is considered of grave importance to Bir- mingham, but it is generally understood that he believes a commission of five, from a standpoint of officials. will be an improvement over a commission of three. Mir Ward believes that one of the com nissloners should be the executive head of the city, the commissioner intrusted with the discharge of the law and the car rying out of policies, and the other four should be legislators. MT. Weatherly has in the past expressed himself in favor of the idea of increasing the number of com missioners to five with a provision that each shall draw no more than s5OO0 per an rum Judge Lane, in a previous inter- view, declared that he thought the com mission as presently constituted-that Is, made up of three members-was entirely SC tisfactory.
 Another change which will probably be made in the commission form of govern ment bill is one which shall intrust the duties of the excise commission to the city commission Mr Judge favors that idea, and the city officials would probably sup port him by an unanimous vote.
