 Well, our company was the first to land and. of course. we had to hold them all off until the support of more marines came up. We did. They be- gun firing on us before we knew what was taking place. We got the com mand to load and they put us right across the street in front of the Mexi- cans It was a good thing they were bum shots, or we would all be dead now. Well, my captain put me on an automatic machine gun. Talk about moving hayl There is no comparison to what we did to those "spies." Aft CT we drove them back the first time l left the machine gun and got my rifle and laid down in the middle of the. street with seven other boys. The greasers made another attack just about then and out of the eight boys lying there three got up. The rest were hit. The boy on my right got shot through the mouth. He was killed in stantly.

 I got the Mexican that shot him. He was way up in a Catholic church tower behind big bell. l saw him fire and then my friend said he was hit I took good aim at him and hit the bell he was behind. came too close to himl I guess he thought it was moving time Any way he came out from behind that bell just little, and l got him. He fell out of the dome about 200 feet to the ground This happened the day we landed.
 Yesterday we started in early to clean up the town. We started from the street we were on and searched every house in the city. It took us until late last night to finish the job. Well, l am still living and unhurt, but goodness knows how long I will remain that way. I have just heard that we were going to a town 10 miles from here. where it is reported the Mexicans endorsements from Mexico City and the ones we drove out Of here are stationed.

LOCKE'S DISCHARGE
 DUE ID D|SLOYALTy
Heflin Issues Statement Re garding His Indifference
 During Campaign

H. r. Hefiin solicitor of Jefferson county, gives as reason for his dismiss sal of Hugh Locke. his assistant. the al- legged indifference of MT. Locke to the success of his chief in the last campaign Mir. Heflin expresses regret that he con sders it necessary for him to make pub lie matter which involves the loyalty of MT. Locke.
 The solicitors statement follows:
 My attention has been directed to the recent outburst of Hugh Locke into pub licity concerning his discharge as assist and solicitor
 q have hitherto refrained from making public the facts in the matter, purely been member of my official family for nearly four years, as 1t was my de- sire to relieve him of all embarrassment incident to discussion of the matter. However, as he has seen fit to publish in the three daily newspapers of the city his version of the affair. l feel that the public is entitled to the facts.
 My assistants are appointed by me and hold office for no fixed term. It Is
  such time as I see fit, or they may re- sign whenever they wish to do so.
 Tn my recent campaign for reelection. his manifest indifference as to my sue cess was frequently commented upon to such an extent that an investigation es- tablshed it's truth.
 "It is a perverson of the facts for Locke to state or intimate that I looked to him to secure me the prohibition vote. What he might have accomplished in this direction is a speculation, and the only known quantity in the equation is his studied indifference, rather than that loyalty one would expect who had be- friended him at time when he as a young lawyer needed hefp.
 'T cersh no ill-will towards Locke for the resentment his article evidences--l rather pity his indiscretion in giving pub licity to matter in which his loyalty is involved and he has my best wishes for his future success.
 'H P HEFLIN."

An Alabama boy who fought in the bat tie of Vera Cruz, who saw friend on his right shot through the mouth, his best friend, fighting on his left. shot through the lungs and fatally wounded. and who. in swift retaliation. shot the Mexican sharpshooter from a church tower and saw him fall 200 feet to the ground-has written all about it to his father.
 The boy in question Is Gordon Nun gall, son of Thomas Mungall. of Pell City. His letter is the first, it is be- lieved, to have reached Alabama with a vivid account of the fight in Vera Cruz from the standpoint of a soldier who was actually touched by the blood of the slain
 Mir Mungall, father of the soldier, sends the letter from his son to The Age-Herald. It follows:
 Dear Father. I received your letter
 about four days ago, but have seen
 nothing of any papers or pictures yet.

SMALLPOX CASES
 ARE ON INCREASE Situation Has Grown Steadi- ly Worse for Sometime,
 Say Officials

The smallpox situation has been grow ing steadily worse for the past two or three months. according to health offi- cers of the city yesterday They state that the disease is spreading and more cases are being reported each month than the one previous, although the dis ease still is far from CT epidemic stage.
 The percentage of white cases, 1t is said, is on the increase more than nor mally One white man vas found down. town last week after having had the disease for several days, and it is this partment officials say is responsible for the spread of the disease. Instead 0f smallpox being a disease of filth. they state it is filthy disease and that any person, no matter how cleanly or care ful he may be of his person, if he has been exposed and has not been vacci- mated, is as liable to get sick IS the flthiest tramp in the lumber yards.
 The one and sole phase of the small pox situation which the health depart ment officials are preaching is vacci- nation, Vaccination will prevent small pox and they are urging all persons to undergo the treatment. They state that from now on, however, the disease prob ably will steadily decline as when warm weather once thoroughly arrives every house no matter how lowly or humble. is thrown open and aired and this. to- gether with the sunshine. tends towards the elimination of the breeding places of the disease.

WATERWORKS CASE .ON TRIAL TOMORROW
City Seeking to Have De clared Forfeited Franchise
 of Local Company

The suit of the city against the Birmingham waterworks to declare forfeited the franchise of the com panv will go on trial tomorrow morn ing in the circuit court before Judge E. C. Grove and in all probability will last the entire week.
 The city seeks to declare forfeited the franchise of the waterworks com pany on the grounds that the contract made with the city upon which the franchise is based has been violated severally and in many Instances by the company and will produce citizens as witnesses who have grievances against the company.
 The case is expected to be a strong ly fought legal battle. Attorney G. K. Harsh has been associated with the city attorneys office to assist in the case with City Attorney Romaine Boyd, Assistants Joe Mudd, Monte ullman and others.
 This Is the case upon which Judge Grove granted demurrers of the water works company attorneys when 1t was first brought to trial. These demurrers were overruled by recent decision of the supreme court and the case will now go to trial before Judge Grove. If is the second case filed against the waterworks company by the city in Its effort to lower water rates here The first was taken through the federal courts where it Is now pending, the first steps having been decided favor ably to she waterworks company. The first case was brought about when the city sought to regulate the rates of the company and the company secured an injunction against the ordinance Tn tho federal courts It was after Judge Grubb first granted the temporary in- function prayed for by the waterworks company in this first case that the city filed the second case which will go to trial tomorrow in the state courts

JUDGE EVANS ID
 RUN FOR CONGRESS
 IN C[AYT0N'S PLACE
Governor Expected to Call Special Election at Once. Other Names Mentioned
 in the Third District

Judge A. A. Evans of Clayton an nounces this morning through The Age Herald his candidacy for the seat in Con gress to be surrendered by Henry D. Clayton. appointed by President Wilson, judge of the northern and middle districts of Alabama.
 In reply to a query from Te Age-Her- ald Judge Evans wired as follows:
 'I shall ask the people of the Third to let me succeed Clayton in Congress"
 Judge Evans is one of the best known Alabamans. For about F years he was judge of the Third judicial circuit. He retired from that bench to accept an ap- pointment as justice of the supreme court. At the present time he is member of the state tax commission.
 The governor is expected to call spe- cial election in the Third district at once, and the candidates will qualify for the term of Mir. Clayton yet unexpired and the term for which Mir Clayton was nom- mated April 6. In all probability it will be possible for candidate to run for either of the terms or both.
 It is generally understood that Judge Evans will have several opponents. Thomas s. Fraser of Union Springs, state senator and member of the staff of the governor, is said to be candidate II is taken for granted that Henry B Stea- gall Third circuit solicitor, will be can 1idate Mir. Steagall opposed MT. Clayton in the recent campaign, and suffered d surprisingly emphatic defeat. Byrd G. Farmer of Dothan is mentioned as probable candidate. and there will be yet another in all probability.
 With the field divided, there seems to be little doubt but that Judge Evans would win. This is the belief of local students of politics who know of Evans strength in Barbour, Bullock, Russell ,ee and Dale.

FROM SUBURBS ANSWERED !. BY THE COMMISSION Say West End and Wood lawn Citizens Have No
 Cause to Pick
 Quarrel

Tho people of woodlawn have no oc- casion to pick quarrel with the city commissioners regarding dust and the citizens of West End have no occasion to pick quarrel with the city commits. 7 sioners regarding street pavements. at. cording to statements made by membera of the commission yesterday.
 Arrangements have been made for the past month or two. it is said. with the two street car companies to sprinkle their tracks In Woodlawn and lay the dust, and the streets in West End, which are reported to have caused an uprising 1t Is alleged. were laid by the old towr of West End before it came into Greater Birmingham.
 The Tidewater company officials stated yesterday that they were ready to op. crate their car sprinkler just as soon as piece or two of machinery came from local manufacturing plant and the com. missioners suggest that if the Woodlawh citizens want to jack anybody up. they get in behind this manufacturins plant which is delaying the Tidewater sprinkler The Birmingham Railway Light and Power company officials state that their new sprinkler Is expected here any day and will be Immediately put into service when it arrives. These big sprinkling cars are expensive. 1t be- tng stated that they cost some $4500. The commissioners state that they have made a proposition to the citizens of West End for the scarifying of the Tuscaloosa avenue road with the new scarifier that the city has ordered and then covering II with new preparation which will make d surface and keep down the dust but that while this will not cost so much, never. theless what 1t does cost will have to be assessed against the property holders if it is done. The commissioners point out that the city as a whole cannot put down pavement for the people of West End for many obvious reasons.
 When the new scarifier is put into com mission the commissioners believe that they can fix up many of the suburban streets Into very serviceable thoroughfares without the improvement being in any way costly to the aburtine property own- CTS f
 Commissioner James Weatherly stated yesterday that he was delighted with tho new street flusher's work and what nc would probably make a motion at tho commission meeting next Tuesday for tho purchase of another machine just like 1t The two flushers together. they state. will take care of all of the downtown section and the paved streets in the resi- dence districts that will stand flushing. It Is only the high class paved streets such as brick. asphalt and bithulithic that can be flushed, the others must bo sprinkled The new electric flusher which
 the city just bought a few weeks ago cost 5000.

reason to believe that the result Is in doubt. In the majority of counties in northern Alabama B. B. Conner Is ap- parently leading. In the majority of counties in south Alabama Charles Henderson is apparently leading. In the Sixth district Mir. Conner has an apparent advantage. The indications are that MT. Henderson will carry Jefferson, Montgomery and Mobile counties. the last named by healthy majorities. MT. Henderson will carry Pike practically unanimously.
 The poll up to the present indicates a considerably smaller vote than was cast for various gubernatorial candi- dates April G. On that date candi- dates for governor received IA, ,464 votes. The vote May II may show a decrease of from 10000 to 25.0o0 If the day is fair the farmers will work their fields. If the day is raining, few win take the trouble to go mile or more to vote It is a pretty safe guess apparently that the farmers will not decide the present gubernatorial campaign
