LOCAL OFFICIALS ARE ALL SILENT ON INTENDED PLAN:
 eu
Kennedy Said to Have Been Dis cussed for Place Ever Since Radcliffe Decided to
  Leave

The question of who is to succeed William C. Radcliffe as general man. ager of the Chamber of Commerce is The officers and the directors of the Chamber of Commerce are remarkably reticent and it is extremely difficult to get any expression from anyone in authority. However. a number of re- ports are going the rounds and many. ideas are being advanced
 While none of those in authority will vouchsafe an opinion as 10 what is to be done. it is currently reported that William Blanks Everett assistant general manager, is to be made acting general manag pending the selection or a permanent general manager It is reported that it may be some weeks or even months before a permanent seiec- tion Will be, made and in the mean time Mir. Everett is expected to act az the directing official of the chsmber. |. Bruce. Kennedy of Montgomery, gen. eral manager of the Chamber of Com merce of the Capital City, is sched tiled to be made general manager of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce. according to unofficial reports yester- day.
 MT. Kennedy is recognized as one of the ablest commercial secretaries in the south and his selection to head the Birmingham chamber would cause no surprise. The name of Mir Kennedy has been freely mentioned in connection with the position ever since it had been reported that MT Radcliffe would leave the service of the local organii zation. Il

LITTLE GIRL STRUCK BY
 AUTOMOBILE E AT HIGH SPEED
Silva Simon Has Fractured Skull and Rosa Safer is HurCa Never Stops and Its Identity Has Not Yet
 Been Established

Silvia Simon, the 7-year-old daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. I. I. Simon, SO9 North Fifteenth street is in the Bir- mingham infirmary with fractured skull as the result of being struck and knocked down by an unidentified au- tom obile yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, when she and Rosa Safer, the 5-year-old daughter of MT and Mrs. Joe Safer SIS North Fifteenth street, were crossing the treet at Eighth avenue and Fifte9 .Ii street, north. The Safer girl was Fpainfully injured and was removed to her parents home.
 Eyewitnesses say the automobile which struck the children was go- ing about 35 miles an hour and never stopped Efforts to get the num- Der of the car were unsuccessful.
 The Simon child, just as the auto mobile came upon them pushed her little companion out of the way and received the full force of the impact herself. She was thrown backward, striking the back of her head upon the pavement.
 $. Feinberg, 1430 Eighth avenue, wit messed the accident. '"The automobile was going fully 35 miles an hour" he said. 'It was a small car and had three men in it. The two children had been playing across the street and started back. An electric car was going east on Eighth avenue and in keeping out of it's way the children did not see the automobile going in the opposite direc- ton.
 Just as the automobile was upon them the Simon child pushed her playmate

aside thus saving a life The men in the automobile never stopped but pro. ceeded rapidly in the direction of Ens- ley.''
 pr. M. D. Clements of Ensiey, who was passing by in his automobile, rushed tht Simon girl to the Birmingham infirmary, where it, was announced that her skull was badly fractured.
 The police department was notified or the accident shortly after it happened, and Officer Robert L. Drake was sent to investigate. Both police and detec- tive departments are on the lookout for the unidentified automobile, but at an early hour this morning the automobile and it's passengers had not been captured. Motorcycle scouts searched for the auto mobile all night
 An extraordinary operation was per- formed at a late hour last night. in which a large portion of the child's skull was removed and the brain cleared of all injurious matter. She was on the operat- ing table for something like two hours, and the doctors say she has a fighting chance for life. There are several good indications that the child will live Her respiration has been strong all the while and that is considered as a good sign ot recovery. She has never regained con sciousness
 The father. who is employed by The Age-Herald, says the child's life was saved by Dr. M. K. Clements of Ensley, who picked her up in his car and rushed her to the Birmingham ififirmary When pr. Clements reached the child there were no pulse beats and she was at first thought to be dead but became stronger after stimulants had been given,

The Age-Heralds Montgomery cGres- pondence on another page contains an interesting conclusion of the new pro- vision for second choice voting in Ala bama which will be utilized for the first time in next Tuesdays primary. The impression prevails in Montgomery that very few voters will exercise the right of second choice because they will feel that they might be unintentionally aiding an opponent.
 investigation shows that this same feel ing prevails in Jefferson county and it is regarded as safe to say that very few second choice votes will be cast
 This will be especially true where a number of candidates are seeking the same places, such as for board of reve- nue, county treasurer and coroner. The man who picks out the men he wants to see elected to these places will not take

chance on voting for someone for sec ond choice. The voter naturally feels that he might muddle things up and GO real harm to his first choice. He has accordingly about made up his mind to stick to the old fashioned way of voting and put cross mark only before the mans name that he actually expects to be elected.
 It is interesting to analyze how the second choice vote works in contests where there are so many candidates.
 Take the board of revenue for instance, where there are over 60 candidates for the five places to be filled. If any cain didate gets a majority of all the vot%s cast, he will be declared the nominee. .
 However, if no one gets a majority the 10 highest first choice men will be picked out and their second choice votes will be counted. The second choices will then be added to the firsts

Circuit Judge Can
 Remove StenOgrapher

Montgomery, May 4.-(Special )-The su- preme court today held that circuit judge can remove the official stenogra- pher of his circuit. but cannot require his services outside his circuit. Judge J. E.. Blackwood of Gadsden entered removal proceedings in January against Charles F. Hill. reporter of the sixteenth circuit, because Hill refused to serve the judge in a trial at Birmingham. Hill applied to the supreme court to prohibit Judge Blackwood from determining the re- moval proceedings.
 The supreme court denied Hills prayer to prevent Judge Blackwell from deter 1 mining the removal charges, but granted 1 the prayer perpetually restraining the judge from hearing the cause in question toutsida the sixteenth circuit.

MARTIN E s CAP [ 5 DEATH ON GALLONS
 FOR FOURTH TIME
Governor Henderson Ex- tends Executive Clemency to Condemned Negro and
 COmmutes Sentence

Upon hearing that Governor Hender- son had committed his sentence to life Imprisonment Thursday morning. Sam Martin, who was to have been hanged this morning, is said to have made the statement that he was the happiest negro in Alabama. Sheriff Batson re- ceived word of the governors action yesterday. Martin, was convicted for killing James Little, another negro, on Christmas night of 1914, and has four times been within a few hours of the gallows. He has received three respites previous to the communication of his death sentence to life imprisonment
 Martin has strongly maintained that he was innocent of the shooting of Lit tie, While eyewitnesses testified to the shooting in the trial. In their efforts to save him his lawyers have sub mitted sufficient evidence to the gov ernor to get his sentence commuted
 The rope that has been stretched several times preparatory to hang Mar tin may be brought into action next Friday to execute the death sentence of Jesse White, negro, sentenced TO hang for the shooting of pr. C. C. Terrell at Praco last fall White is also hopeful that the governor will in terfere and that he will get his sen- tence commuted to life Imprisonment He admitted the killing but said he fired back on Dr. Terrell after he had been shot at several times, and not knowing who he was shooting at.

As a result of the days sport they brought back string of 15 fine bass and bream. Their visit to the Warrior. however. was not primarily to follow the piscatorial art, but to locate site for hunting and fishing lodge to be erected by a local club composed of devotees of the rod and gun, of which they are charter members. They report having staked an ideal spot for the above purpose.

MOST VOTERS HAVE DECIDED NOT TO CAST SECOND CHOICE
  in Q

and the five getting the highest totals will be declared the nominees.
 The total number of votes cast VIII be determined by dividing the total votes for all candidates by five, the number of places to be filled.
 In the case of the county treasurer, where but one place is to be filled, 1T any candidate gets a majority he will be declared the nominee. If not, the two highest men will be selected and their second choice votes will be added to their firsts The candidate having the highest total of firsts. and seconds will then be declared the nominee It is realized that the system is rath- CT confusing to the voter, especially as it is entirely new in Alabama. For this reason most voters will prefer not to exercise their second choice privi- lege.
 There can be no single shotting" in the race for board of revenue. Each voter must vote for five or his ballot will not be counted.

 Three of the
 Issues
DOING LOT OF THINKING

Birmingham citizens are evil dently not saying much about the bond issues. but are doing a whole lot of thinking. A lot of them have their minds made up but prefer not to talk for pub 1ication. The commissioners themselves are greatly encour- aged over all three of the pro- posed issues. They believe they will be overwhelmingly in- dorsed by the voters and claim the opposition comes chiefly from those who are >antagonistic to whatever the commissioners do on general principles.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-05-05

"I am in favor of the S2,000, 900 bond issue for schools and the $500,000 bond issue for the auditorium and city hall, but am opposed to the bond issue for the light plant said George A. Blinn yesterday.
 'It seems to be that every citizen of Birmingham should line up in fa- vor of the school bond issue There is nothing that can be more important for the city and the district than this.
 "Then there is the auditorium and the city hall bond issue There can be no doubt that we need an auditorium. Birmingham is missing several big conventions every year because we lack an auditorium. The only way to get such building is by means of a municipal auditorium.
 While I understand that the city commissioners and those who have considered the matter do not neces- sarily recommend the Roden hotel proposition the proper solution for the auditorium and municipal building. 1t seems to me that the voters of the city should vote for this bond issue and let the proper authorities decide what is the right place for such a structure. There can be no doubt that if is needed
