NOMINATIONS OF
CANDIDATES FOR
The JUDICIARY
One of the Most Interesting
Contests Was in the
Fourth District-List of
the Nominees.

In the excitement of primary cleo
ton returns nominations of district
judges over the state in the various
districts seem to have been lost sight
of, yet there is great deal of interest,
especially among attorneys, over who
were successful A review of the re-
turns from various sections of Idaho
indicate that the most exciting con-
test for district judicial nominations
took place in the Fourth judicial dis
trict where a successor to Judge Ed
ward A. Walters, one of the successful
primary candidates for justice of the
supreme court, was the issue.
Unless the official count changes the
result, the following candidates for
district judges have been successful:
First district-Judge w. w. Wood,
unopposed.
Second district-Judge Edgar C.
Steele and Daniel Needham.
Third district--Judge Carl A. DAVIS,
Judge Charles p. Mccarthy, Judge
William c. Dunbar and Judge Gardner
G. Adams.
Fourth district-Judge Charles o.
Stockslager James II. WISE James r.
Boutwell, and William A. Babcock.
Fifth district-Judge Alfred Bulge,
unopposed.
Sixth district-George F. Hans
brough and Frederick J. Gowan.
/ Seventh district-Judge Ed L. Bry-
an, unopposed.
! Eighth district-Judge John NJ.
Flynn, Judge Robert N. Dunn and G..
II. Martin.
Ninth district-James G. Gwinn and
William H. Holden.
Some Were Unopposed.
Electors voted for twice as many
candidates as there were offices in
most instances because at the gem
eral election there will be at least
twice as many nominees for each
iudgeship as there are offices to fill
except in cases where the present in
cumbants were unopposed. Candidates
in the First, Sixth and Seventh dis
/ tricts were unopposed. In the Second
district there were but two candidates
and one office and in the Third dis
trict two offices and four candidates
In the Fourth district the candidates
who appear by the incomplete returns
to have been defeated are e. M. Wolfe
j. w. Edgerton, George Herriott, w
r. Stafford and w. c. HOWE. The
complete returns may change this re-
suit. The same thing is true of the
Sixth district where John II. Pedghan
w. A. Bleakley, James E. Good and A
j. Higgins appear to be defeated. 1t
is also true of the Ninth district where
c. E. Crowley and D. e. Rathbun seem
to be defeated. In all districts where
there were contests the official count
may change the result and pull down
those now apparently nominated and
elect those who seem to be defeated.

MISS LENA COLEMAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Witness in COwart Case Swallows Laudanum at
 Sisters Home

Miss Lena Coleman. one of the principal witnesses in the Cowart inquest few weeks ago attempted suicide yesterday afternoon about o'clock at her sister s rooms, 2414 Fourth avenue, north, by swal- lowing laudanum. She is expected to die.
 According to Officer Saunders, who in- vestigated the case, 1t appears that Miss Coleman sent for the drug. and when the messenger arrived with 1t told her sis ter to pay the boy while she disappeared in room with the bottle. In a few minutes she is said to have returned and informed her sister that she had swal- laudanum. Her sister stated that she did not believe it, but after short time Miss Coleman became drowsy, and it was then seen that the young woman really had taken poison. and Ldge Loy's ann buance was summoned and she was re- moved to the Hillman hospital.
 At the infirmary 1t was stated that the poison had had so much time to be ab- scrbed that there was no possible hope for her. and she was expected to die.
 Miss Coleman was a witness at the in- quest into the killing of George Country Cowart few weeks ago in a rooming house at Twenty-thlrd street and Fifth avenue. Her testimony at the inquest was considered of the highest importance
 A coincidence with the attempted sul- eide of Miss Coleman was that William Hall, a musician. who was held by the ccroner's jury as being responsible for the death of Cowart, was ordered relea sed on $2000 bond yesterday morning by Judge Hickman.

WOOD BOYS EXONERATED
 BY JURY AFTER INQUEST

] the picnlciSers went in bathing in the shoals and Miss Hinds was drowned.
 ,l.arnt was reported in Bir- and no rumors of any alleged :. play Was heard until a week later. When the girl had been buried and the affair apparently forgotten Detectives Pittman and Taylor arrested Charles and R. P. Wood and placed them in the city jail on the charge of murder.
 sefnre the coroner's jury. even with the assistance of Solicitor Tate the de-
 re unable to present any evidence of substantial character t.s~. would connect the Wood brothers with the drowning of Miss Hinds. The '~n port of Dr. Frank Grace, who con ducted the post mortem examination
 tumltion of Miss Hinds' body at Huffman, also refuted certain ale gatlons anu the coroners Jury yester day did not hesitate following the close of the taking of testimony in rendering 9 verdict which completely exonerated explicit In that 1t stated that Ruth Neh Hiuds was drowned accidently.
 Following the verdict Coroner Spain at once wrote an order of release for the young prisoners, but Detectives Pittman and Taylor, who had sworn out the warrants against the Wood broth CTS, went in person to Judge H. B. and requested that the war rants be quashed which was done The boys were then released from the county jail and the Hinds case was ended.

 Congress From Ninth

SHORT SESSION
 SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Met Yesterday at Tutwiler-May Make Short Report to the
 Civic Chamber

The committee appointed to study the technological school problem and report to the Chamber of Commerce, held a short session yesterday at the Tutwiler. No announcement was made in connec- ton with what action was taken, If any. or what matters were discussed. It was gathered. however. that the committee will make a short report to the Cham Der of Commerce officials tomorrow morn ing
 That report will, 1t Is believed, point out the necessity for considerable study of the problem. It Is understood that the members of the committee will make trips to various technological schools in this section and will undertake to find out what methods have been pursued in connection with such schools as have been successful with the idea in mind of adapt ing the local conditions to such an in- stitution.
 John l.. Raul. George Gordon Craw- ford and other members of theecommit- tee are very eager to locate school here but are not willing to make any suggestions until the fullest information and data bearing on the subject has heen gathered.

ALL CITIES SHOULD
 GET THEIR SHARE
CranfOrd Says This Will Help Good Roads Senti-
 ment All Over State

With making reference to the conten- ton of w. S. Keller, state highway en- gineer. that the provision of the code which gives to municipalities half of the ccrnty road and bridge tax, should be rescinded, Jack IT. Cranford member of the legislature not only expressed satis- faction in that the supreme court has declared that provision constitutional. but defends that provision.
 MT Cranford, who was a member of the committee of the legislature which prepared the municipal code bill, has made close study of all matters ap-- pertaining to good roads. While visitor to Birmingham yesterday he had the following to say:
 q am greatly pleased that the supreme court has declared legal that section of the law which gives to municipalities one half of the road and bridge tax fund which originates in the respective munie- qualities. l cannot see why any fair-mind- ed man should object to the law. much
 less institute movement intended to bring about its repeal in the next session
 of the legislature. In my opinion, that
 section will do more to stimulate good ICdu StDllllenl lHlOuSnOut ln6 Sldtt ifidii
 any other one section. If good roads and streets are builded by municipalities
 the county roads will be good On the contrary, if the municipalities neglect
 their streets the county will neglect its roads. It unfortunately happens that the worst roads in a county are to be found in incorporated towns. Formerly. the towns are permitted to share in the re- ceipts of bridge and road taxes.
 We have good roads in Walker county The other day we, voted a bond issue
 of $250,000 for the improvement of our roads. The understanding is that $50.00( will be expended annually for a period Of five years. The money, as matter of fact, should be expended as fast as col lected. The sentiment in Walker fol good roads is fine In Alabama, as a whole, there is finer sentiment for perfect highways than ever before, and the time will come when no other state ir this regard will be our superior. How ever, we cannot afford to go backward The repeal of the section of the code which gives municipalities half of the | bridge and road tax would be a backward step.'
 | The Walker county citizen expressed | deep regret in that the Senate has seer | fit to oppose the President in the matter I of confirmation of MT. Jones and MT War | burg as members of the federal reserve board In regard to the report coming out of Rheims to the effect that next year, champagne would be scarce and
 high. the Waller county citizen declared that he was not at all worried.

MEET ID DISCUSS COUNTY INSTITUTES Conductors Gather in Bir- mingham to See Feagin
 and DOwell

The conductors of county institutes for teachers met in Birmingham at the Hotel Hillman last night with William F. Feagin, state superintendent of ed ucation, and his chief clerk, Spright Dowell.

DETECTIVES FAIL TO INTRO
 DUCE ANY TESTIMONY SHOW
 ING MISS HINDS' DEATH WAS

BUT S23,0OO REMAIN OF 'TUTW|LER BONDS Committee Will Meet Again Tomorrow at Lunch
 at Hotel

The, committee of men who volun- teered to present to local citizens for consideration the purchase of Tutwiler hotel bonds at the luncheon yesterday reported all bonds sold except 2s In all the bonds that have been underwrit- ten amount to $225,00O of which there remains only $23.o0O worth. This rec ord of local financing is held to be un rivaled in this community or in this section, for as well known, the entire Tutwiler investment amounting to $1,- 650,000, has been underwritten in this city alone.
 The committee yesterday agreed to meet again tomorrow at luncheon at the Tutwiler where. it is confidently believed, the remainder of the bonds will be reported sold and maybe over subscribed If that Is accomplished the hotel owning company officials will be more than grateful and Birmng ham will have established a record for big undertaking
 The necessity for appealing to the people of Birmingham on the later bonds came about in this way: It was necessary to pay a commission for the sale of the remaining $9S.0O0 or have the stockholders take them or appeal to the local public, The first would have ruined the record established in connection with the financing of the Tutwiler. which is that no commis- sions have ever been paid for the sale of the lot or any securities. The sec ond alternative was not considered quite fair because the directors were and are now carrying a big burden. Tho third alternative was resorted to with results that have gratified the officers and others closely affiliat ed with the project

KREBS HOME IS SOLD
 ID FOX FOR S32,OO0
Price Regarded as Top of the Market for Residence
 Property

Another real estate deal which illus trates the immense value of Birmingham dirt was consummated yesterday when Allen J Krebs' residence on Niazuma ave- nue was sold to w. T. Fox for $32,tJ0. A A. Gambil & Co.,. negotiated the deal.
 The Krebs home is located in one of the most exclusive residence sections in all Birmingham. It is a beautiful brick structure and occupies a lot 100x9oo feet, extending from one street to the other.
 The price paid for the home of MT. Krebs is the highest except one paid for such property within the past two years The highest price for residential property was that of $60,000, which was given for the Marx home some months ago.
 q think MT. Fox got a bargain in the Krebs property said MT. Gambill yes- terday. Some people might think s32.000 rather a steep price for residential prop erty but values are enhancing every day in Birmingham and s32.000 for property just off. Highland avenue is really very cheap. The deal for the property was closed this morning. It had been pend- ing for some two weeks"
