MOVING PICTURES ]. ON SUNDAY NOW IN HANDS 0F PEOPLE

The question whether or not the mov- ing picture theatres will operate on Sun- day is now in the hands of the people of Greater Birmingham, and on May 6 they will be given the opportunity to vote on this matter The election com mission set the above date for the elec- ton yesterday after having ascertained that the petition filed with the city com mission was signed by sufficient num- Der of qualified voters. The commission is composed of Judge J. P Stiles, of the probate court: Sheriff T. s. Batson, and w J. Waldrop, clerk of the circuit court
 The election commission also made selection of the clerks. managers and re-. turning officers of the movie election, and they will be announced as soon as all the places have been filled. There are about 30 voting precincts in the city.
 By recent action of the city commits sion, the moving picture theatres were permitted to operate until April 21, and the calling of the election on May will close the picture houses for two Sundays before election. From the fact that the ordinance authorizing the picture shows on Sunday was made in good faith by the former city commission and later found defective through clerical error, 1t Is thought by many leading citizens that the picture shows should not be closed until the matter has been decided at the polls
 It is stated the reason for setting the election in May was for the purpose of giving the authorities proper time to prepare the poll lists, it being stated that many new voters had qualified this year and that their names should appear on the lists submitted to the election off, cers for their guidance on the day of election.
 The question of the operation of the movies on Sunday was an issue in the recent campaign for city commissioners and practically all the candidates were pledged to submit the matter to the peo- ple for their decision.

CENTRAL HIGH HAS . HARD WEEKS WORK Coach Thomas Is Building Good Team With Three
 Old Men as Nucleus

Coach Thomas called his baseball pros
 poets together last Monday and hot con-
 testing for the positions on the team
 featured the weeks work. There are
 only three of the members of last years
 great team to build a formidable aggre-
 gation from Donelson. Levy and Captain
 Griffin. About 25 candidates are out tor the team. Griffin, who played second base
 last year has been elected captain, and
 he is an able man to lead them on the
 field of battle. Griffin was one of the brightest spots on the great team of last year, and should have his banner year this season.
 utility infielder of last years team Is
 back in the fold and is showing his old
 time form. Donelson is counted on to
 be the mainstay in the box this year.
 Jake Levy, the last of ther three left
 from last years team is back, and is
 displaying good work Levy will prob-
 ably play in the outfield when he Is not
 pitching, as he is dangerous man with
 the stick, Aand should be kept in the line-
 up all the time. Coach Thomas is going
 to find hard task in building team
 like the former high school teams, but
 with many good prospects working hard he might be able to make a team out of a bunch of green men that will make
 a good record for old c. H. s.
 FIGHT ON AT FIRST
 Fred Hahn and John Buddy are hav- ing a bitter argument as to who should
 play first base this season. At present
 it looks as though Hahn will win the position, The catching staff will be strong as ever with Powe and Snowden, two good backstops, to look after things this year. Captain Griffin will play the middle bag. and should have his best season this year. The shortstop position is being contested by four good players, Robertson, Crane, Robinson and Hen- derson. The odds favor Crane and Hen- derson. The best hitter will probably
 get the place, as the team needs some
 good hitters. Donelson will play third
 base with Levy when he Is not pitching. The outfielders are weak. Reynolds seems to have a place cinched by his good fielding and hitting. Other candi-
 dates for the outfield positions are: Mills, Newman, Goldstein. Band Duke and others.
 Manager Proctor is working out the schedule. and at present he has had his hands full in trying to get games as the high schools are not playing as hereto fore. He has arranged for a series of games between Bessemer High school
 Ensley High and Jefferson County High The Anniston Preds are diekering for a series of games to be played on Gen. trafs home ground, while St. Bernard college of Cullman is trying to induce Central to come up to their campus tor a game. which will probably be accepted.

Spontaneous combustion is caused.
 chemists tell us, by floating particles of coal dust or other inflammable material jostling and clashing against one anoth-
 CT until the friction they set up raises their temperature to the ignition point. If this explanation Is correct. it would appear as if such fires could be pre- vented by perfect ventilation. Such.
 however, is not the case. for ventilation
 may actually help to bring about fire by spontaneous combustion. Air facilitates oxidation, really flaming the warm dust into a blaze. Keep air damp and quiet to avoid fire.

AS TO THE RECALL

While The lntelligenCcr has no au-
thoritatire knowledge relative TO the
proposed. or alleged recall movement
in this city. il is not inclined 70 believe
that it should be taken seriously.
One reason why The lntelliScnCer
opposed the present city charter was
that it did not believe in the theory of
the recall. On the contrary. The Intel
ligencer believes that public official
should have an assured tenure of Office.
without being subjected to threats Of
recall by parties whom he has hap
pencd to displease.
Eventually it will be found that the
recall club will constantly operate TO
put in Office time servers. timid politi-
clans who seek constantly to cater TO
Influential elements rather than TO do
their duty. The present city officials
were elected for period OF time. Tho
public will have ample opportunity TO
recall them at the regular election. if
it so desires.

HERTLING FISHING AGAIN

We fail 10 see any advance towards
possible peace agreement in Chancel-
lor Won Hertling's declaration before
the Reichsrag. that he was in accord
with four principles enunciatcd by
President Wilson. because, as usual,
there are reservations of German eau
ton which can better be described as
cupidity. 1t is nothing more than an
attempt 10 draw on. in the hope Of get
ting tAe United States TO admit some
thing thar can be taken advantage Of
by the SUBSCRIPTIONS German govern
ment leaders. We opine that Mr.. VIII
son is TOO mature fish TO be caught
on any hook OF that character.
II is particularly indecent in the Ger
man Chancellor referring to England's
aims in this war as Thoroughly impe-
rialistic." and animadyrrting on her in
consistency in supporting the peoples
right Of DIFFERENTIATION while con-
tinuing 10 rule India. Egypt and Ire
land. while the German armies are now
blowing ruthlcsSly through Russia 10
make secure the pef Of territory she
has appropriated through the basest in
trigue and treachery.
Nothing crops out more clearly than
that the main purpose of Won Hcrtling' ;;
discrimination against England and a
pretended favorable consideration Of
our representations. is to create divi-
sion OF the Entente Allies, by which
the United States would be nation
set apart No such scheme will work
so long rs We stand true to our solemn
pledges to make the world safe for de-
mocracy.
The Wheeling intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1903-1961, 1918-02-27

the war policies OF tho government Is
concerned, the argument OF these Wis
consin Democrats is a little thin. The
representatives Of the Republican par
" in Congress have entirely qualified
as loval supporters Of the President in
this matter. and have proved them
selves more truSty than the representa-
lives of the Democratic party. This is
not an idle assertion, but demonStra-
ted fact. Why, then, should the Demo
Gratis insist that none hut Democrats
be elected to assure a further cXcmpli-
fication OF loyalty? II there is 10 be Il
sincere expression Of non-partisanism,
why shouldn't the Democrats be called
on to exercise that virtue, especially
when in the minority. Is they are IN
Wisconsin? AS it Is. they are asking
the Republicans to forcgo their natural
political right on spccious plea OF a
profession that has been made an out
ragrous mockery in practice by the
President himself. The non-partisan-
ism OF Democracy is a Elaring hypocri-
sv. AS for loyalty 10 the country, the
Republican party has an uncon'cstcd
title TO that honor.
