SELMA

Selma, November 1.-(Special )-Making an eleventh hour trip to look after the interests of Selma's school tax amend ment, Mayor Louis Benish, Walter Cal Ian, and s. s. Smith will leave Thursday morning for Birmingham.
 The officers in charge of the campaign are working overtime, a corps of six ste- nographers being kept busy night a1M day sending literature to hundreds of poll ing places throughout the state.
 Today there appeared on the street cir culars opposing the amendment, these having been sent here from Blount coufl- ty The argument is weak however, and it is believed that 1t will have little ef- feet in other countes. In this county 1t will only serve to spur on further ef- forts.
 Chief of Police Dawson has returned from a three days trip in favor of the amendment in the southern part of the state, and says that he founds no op- position to 1t, the chief danger being that a surprisingly large number of people seemed to care little about it one way or the other.
 Quail hunters got an early start this morning, dozens of them leaving the city for the fields. Ono veteran reported that he had bagged eight. and got back in tune for breakfast.
 c. A. Bensocter of Chattanooga, assist ant general passenger agent of the South ern. Is visiting in Selma.

Blood-Stained Exhibits Must Be Examined, Is States C0ntention-Taking of
 Evidence to Begin

Nashville, November 1.-With the jury completed, the first states witness will be placed on the stand tomorrow morn ing in the trial of Charles c. Trabue, charged with the killing of Harry s. Stokes, in the latter's law office here April 26, last Attorneys for both sides had anticipated much difficulty in se- curing 12 men to sit as jury In the case and 500 veniremen, aside from the regular jurors, had bee.a summoned. The jury commission was >eady to draw a1- other venire of 800. It was necessary to examine only A to secure the number needed The completed jury follows:
 F. c. Hesser g, farmer, married; W. F. Marshall, 37, carpenter, married; J. w. Simmons, 46, carpenter, married; J. D. Foster, 25, farmer, single; P. Castle man, 33, farmer, married; T. L.

Edwards, 37. car inspec- tor. married; J. E. Steele, g, farmer married.
 One man who had been accepted yes terday was excused by the court today because of defective eyesight. Attorneys for the state contended enat perfect sight would be necessary in examination oi blood-stained exhibits.
 Judge Neil instructed the jurors not tc discuss the case among themselves no, with officers who are in charge and not to permit outsiders to speak with then on any subject They will be required to report each day whether these instruc' tions have been violated.
 Court adjourned until tomorrow morn ing when the first witness for the state will be heard.
 Trabue, the accused man, is one of tho best known attorneys in Nashville, an6 the man he killed was widely known as q reformer, who had undertaken to fight the cause of the taxpayers against al legged graft on the part of officials Trabue was of opposing counsel and the men had become bitter enemies as tht case progressed.

DEMAND FOR MARINE STEEL

The taking of bids by the government on battleships and destroyers indicates that contracts will be awarded to several shipbuilding concerns, and as the com panies now feel that they can figure more actively on merchant shipbuilding which they will be able to do they are send ing in a volume of inquiries for plates. One Pacific coast yard has asked for 28,- 000 tons, another Pacific coaast yard for 15000 tons, New York company for 1000 tons, Cromp yard for 1000 tons, and a Montreal merchant for 10000 tons In- quiry for export also is heavy and one received at Cleveland is for 600O0 tons of various kinds of plates.
