 "Yassuh," said the woman
 Standing beside her was an under sized, tan-hued negro man and it was against him that her tirade was di- reeted. H was standing at the bar, ill., at-ease, and wearing deprecatory smile
 The judge asked for the witnesses and the woman again broke forth, calling to her side another negro, who, she said, saw 1t all, because the smaller negro had threatened to kill him as well as the woman, the only reason he had not done so being that he had left his "razzuh at home.
 Now. what's the trouble.'' demanded Judge Davis.
 Boss, it's lak dis, began the woman. And she recited her woes. which included being choked to death three times Satur- day night; s3.79 in cash being removed from her First National bank" one pair of shoes that she had just paid s2.39 for. being taken forcibly and, as if the worst had not happened, being compelled to re- main in a cemetery three hours Sunday night by the same little negro man.
 Now, what Is your side of 1t, Charlie?" Judge Davis asked the man,
 
 the way out to North Haven and removed his clothes and he called on her at her home four times and asked for them cour- teously. She refused to give them up and the last time he called, according to his statement, she bit him on the arm Charlie barred his arm to show the marks left by her teeth. They had departed, however and he called upon the other man, wnu was supposed to be witness, to verify his statement.
 Charlie said the woman had taken two pairs of his shoes and had given one pair to the man she had as a witness He identified the shoes the witness was wear ing saying they belonged to him. Despite his eloquent pleading. the evi- dence showed that Charlie really had ohoked Mary and Judge Davis was com pelled ot fine him s5. He marched back to the cage sorrow fully and the woman and her "witness' marched proudly out of the courtroom into the beautiful light of a lovely day.

CRAVE AND GAY BEFORE
 BIRMINGHAM'S RECORDER
Little Daughter of Clerk Bill Cunningham Newest Baff Judge Davis Holds Wine Is Not Food-Made to Stay
 In Cemetery Three Hours
By ELLIS 0. HoLLuMs

The newest bailin in Judge Davis court down at the city hall is little Miss Margaret Cunningham, daughter of pretty little miss yesterday morning was a visitor at court and attracted the attention of all present. Bailiff Todd relinquished his place near the bar of Justice in her favor and the court at taches showered attention upon her.
 She was given the title, "bailif," by one of the attorneys present and while her age and weight might be against her when it comes to holding unruly prisoners, her lovely smile and shy modesty completely won the hearts of the officers and attorneys in the court.
 Sam Tomineili, an Italian. is of the opinion that 1t is no violation of the new prohibition laws to have between GO and 65 gallons of wine in his resi- dence when said wine is used for the purpose of giving the necessary nour- ishment to the body. Sam was ar rested Monday on a charge of violating the prohibition laws and Judge Davis lined him $50. An appeal was taken and the matter will be threshed out in a
 
 sam admitted that he had the wine stored in his residence, but said My wife and l live on wine" He also had five dozen bottle of beer, according to the evidence and that too, was designated as an article of food by the Italian. Judge Davis ruled that, while wine may be an article of food, and may be used after the manner of old fashioned ham gravy" and "sopped" up with bread. after all, he had no discre tion in the matter, as the wording of the law was plain, and he was com pelled to administer the fine.
 "Jedge, dis nigger choked me to def three times Sat'dy night and made me stay in the white fo'kses cemetery till 10.30 o'clock Sunday night and I thought he was goin to kill me agn dat night" came forth in a torrent from the lips of a coal black negro wom- an, almost before Judge Davis realized that she was before him.

Ed Smith to Appear Before Recess Committee in the
 Capital Thursday
TO HEAR COMMISSION
 AT CITY HALL FRIDAY
Officials Regard Bill Allowing City to Increase Tax Rate 50 Cents as of Paramount Importance to Sol
 vency of Municipality

F. D. Smith. legislative attorney Of the city of Birmingham, will appear before the recess committee on judiciary in Montgomery tomorrow in the inter est of the bill under which Birmingham would increase its rate of taxation from $1 to s1.5o.
 Friday, the members of the Jefferson county legislative delegation will con vene in the city hall for the purpose of giving the commissioners an opportuni- tv to make clear the various points of the bill.
 As a result of this activity, the city hopes to be in position to get its bill through shortly after the legislature re assemblies next Tuesday. The city re- gards the bill as one of vital impor- tance in that it's adoption and the ef- feet of it's provisions will enable the municipal government to operate with in the limit of it's income.
 The bill was introduced by Senator Judge and put through the senate last winter. In the house, it was referred to the committee on municipal corpor- ations and later because it called for the submission of a constitutional amend ment, was referred to the judiciary committee.
 Supported by All Cities
 As is generally known, practically every municipal government in Ala bama has found it impossible to oper- ate on its income. This situation sug- gested the formation of the league of municipalities This league drew up a general bill which was so arranged that each city would be benefited through increased taxation in accordance with it's needs It will have the support of the league, or rather. of practically every city of the state
 Birmnghams need is more pressing, 1t has been demonstrated than that of any other Alabama city. Sometime ago a bond issue was authorized by the peo- pie with which to pay off old obliga- tions. Unless the city is permitted b.' the legislature to increase its rate of taxation, it's present condition of run ming short at the rate of 5000 per day will be continued. The banks will hesl- tate to advance money in large sums because they will have no assurance that the legislature four years hence would grant opportunity of relief. and will have no assurance that the people when called upon TOT another pond issue in the near future would respond.
 So important to the life of the city is the pending legislation that there are frequent hints that unless such relief is granted ultimate bankruptcy is not improbable.

Several of the heavlest stock holders in the Lyman reservoir near St. Johns passed through Holbrook last Monday evening enroute to Phoenlx. They will consult Governor Hunt and other state officials in reference to plans for rebuilding the dam which was destroyed by the flood of April IA. It will be difficult to secure funds for rebuilding the dam so long as there is a possibility of the company being compelled to defend heavy suits for damages, which are likely to be brought by people who lost property by reason of the break. Until some method is devised, either by act of legislature or otherwise, whereby the reservoir company can be protected from damage suits, no definite action toward replacing the dam can be taken.
