The Significance of the Busi-
 ness Line -Un

The solid support which MT Conner is receiving from the business men is the most interesting and significant feature of the campaign. Never be- fore in Birmingham or anywhere else in Alabama have business men organ ized for the purpose of taking part in a political campaign.
 Business men do not believe in mud singing.
 They do not believe in hitting be- low the belt.
 Consequently the stock arguments used In political campaigns have no weight with them.
 The significance of their organiza- tion for MT. Conner lies deeper than the mere fact that they may believe their interests will be safer in his hands. Their action is NON-PAR- T1SAN. It is a calm and impartial verdict for Conner, and that is why it Is having such tremendous influence upon the great mass of voters in the state.

Comer's Character the Decid-
 ing Consideration

The representative of SHIPPERS SPACE was surprised by the inter- views which he had with the business men of Birmingham. He expected to find thread of self-interest running through every one of these expressions in favor of Conner. In other words. he was prepared to hear each business man explain why his particular busi- ness would be benefited by the cleo ton of Conner. In not single instance, however. did a business man give a strictly selfish reason for sup porting Conner
 The reporter heard good deal of talk about freight rates and the nec- essity for electing Conner again to bring order out of the complications occasioned by the recent rate sur render. Property owners told him that the crying need of Alabama was a better system of taxation. and that Mir Conner would give 1t to us, beginning with the abollshment of the back tax

CANDIDATES OFF
 FOR WASHINGTON So Many Seeking Place as Marshal That Dark Horse
 May Be Successful

There are number of men who be- lieve that they have excellent oppor- | tunities to be appointed federal mar shal of the northern district of Ala bama.
 And, one by one, they are gathering in Washington. It is expected that there will be developments in the immediate te future. This belief is strengthened in the circulation of the report last night that yesterday afternoon John D. Me Neel, collector of internal revenue for Alabama and Mississippi. and warm friend of Secretary McAdoo left for the capital
 As reported yesterday morning, the candidate of Captain Hobson, Horace Gibson, went to Washington Tuesday. He was accompanied by L. B. Musgrove, who managed Captain Hobson's cam paign, and who is now the guiding star of Gibson. It is understood that Senator Bankhead has agreed to sup port Gibson in case T. l.. Long of Jasper is eliminated.
 Mir. Long, who, it has been generally understood had the support of Senator Bankhead in his effort to acquire the marshalship. left yesterday afternoon for Washington. And 1t became general ly reported in local political circles that Sheriff William Palmer of Tusca- loosa. who in the last congressional campaign supported w. B. Bankhead of Jasper in preference to his fellow townsman, w. B, Oliver, is at the pres ent time en route to Washington He desires to be appointed marshal, 1t is understood
 There was interesting gossip yester- day to the end that If neither of the six or eight applicants who believe that they have an opportunity to acquire the job, a dark horse who has not been mentioned up to the present time, might land. Up to the present time, on account of Senator Bankhead, 1t has been agreed that no man not a resident of the Sixth district had d possible chance

 SOCIOLOGICAL CONGRESS

The Pastors union, at the April meet ing, was visited by Rab Newfield, w NJ MeGrath and Dr. George Eaves, who brought an earnest request that in this years Congress the pastors and churches of Birmingham should have a large in terest. A very hearty response was made to the invitation. and it is believed that this means more than good wishes.

Barn. well will give the addresses respectively, on Religion and Welfare." and on "The Church in Social Service"

ACQUITTED OF MURDER
Negro Woman Cleared by Jury.
 Nandiver Case Postponed

Daisy Stephens. a negro, was acquitted yesterday in the criminal court by a Jury on a charge of murder. The ease was tried before Judge E. E. Greene. The woman was accused of killing her husband by shooting him with pistol. The evidence tended to show that the deeea sed was abusing the defendant and that he drew a pistol, the woman grasped it and in the scuffle that followed the pistol was discharged and the man fell mortally wounded. The Jury was out only shcrt time.
 Owing to absent witnesses the case of Lively Nandiver. charged with murder, was passed until June l. Judge w. E. Fort. in passing the case, set 1t specially for the above date and notified all parties concerned that the trial would he had on that date He instructed the wit nesses and all parties interested to be present on June 1, without further sum- mons and that attachments would be is- sued for all who failed to appear.

 Matters of importance to the races well fare >will be presented by congress speak CTS.
 Arrangements have been made in con- nection with the forthcoming sociological congress to place number of important exhibits on view in the assembly room at the Hotel Hillman. A new collection of interesting pictures on child labor, en- titled sfhe High Cost of Child Labor; a realistic playground exhibit. various charts showing conditions in the rural areas and the methods of improvement, an exhibit of tuberculosis, showing prog ress in dealing with that plague. A com parative exhibit of expense incurred in schools, various sorts of philanthropic service. jails and other reformatories, and further an exhibit with illustrated lectures on first aid work.
 It Is hoped to make this exhibit per- manent so it may be placed at a point accessible to the people after the con gress is concluded.

H e Il d derson Weighed and
 Found Wanting"

The reporter, of course, heard some criticism of MT Henderson. None of it was personal or ill-tempered. There was an expression of regret that MT. Henderson had failed to measure up to his opportunities as president of the railroad commission. and that he had been WEIGHED IN THE BAIL ANCES AND FOUND WANTING.
 That was all. MT. Henderson, by his surrender in the railroad rate case, had disqualified himself for promo ton. The people would retire him to private life as they had retired his as. sociates, Julian and McCord.

 Be Handled"
That is Why the Business Men
 Are So Strong for Him
The Character of the Man is the Deciding Consideration With Them "He is Honest, Fearless and
 Able, and We Can
 Trust Him.

'I am for Conner because he CAN'T be HANDLED"
 This terse answer of representa- tive business man of Birmingham to the question why he is supporting Conner, is an excellent summary of all the answers to this question which a representative of SHIPPERS SPACE put to number of the leading bns- ness men of Birmingham Wednesday.
 CHARACTER is the best of all collateral" said a worL1-famous bank CT, and Comer's character is what is winning him the votes of the business men of Alabama.
