Many Political Figures in Court Room Cause Special Interest in HuddleStOn Case

of the courthouse who follow politics closely drop in to listen to the trial for a few minutes from time to time. The minds of some of those present may or may not be on political subjects but a fly leaf of a pamphlet picked up or. one of the chairs in the courtroom yesterday contained the following list of names written in ink: Tom Heflin, Sam Weakley, o. W. Underwood. George Huddleston. Borden Burr, w L. Harri- son, Syd Bowie James Weatherly and Breck Musgrove.''
 It was an unusual array of names, but those among whom it was passed around saw in it somebody's idea of pos sible candidates in the race for the U. S. Senate next year.
 But at any rate there is no politics on the surface. The trial proceeds with the most business-like precision and dispatch and the men who are most intently en- gagged in it seemingly have little time to think of other things.
 Such discussion as one hears occurs on the 'side lines" although at one point in the arguments yesterday when Gov ernor Miller had stated that he was not ia rniliar with just how congressman's desk looked, as he had had no experi- cree with one, Judge Weakley interject- ed that he too was unfamiliar with their appearance, but that he expected to get acquainted with them very soon and that in few years he expected to be thor oughly familiar.

BIRMINGHAM MAN CITED FOR BRAVERY Worked For Hours Under Harrassing Fire To Save
 Wounded Comrades

It will be of interest to his many friends in Birmingham to note the following re- garding Lieut.. Alvin K. Belden, which is an extract from list of citations issued division, American expeditionary forces, April 5, 1919:
 and sacrifice evidenced in the particular instances cited below is typical of the high morale of the division during it's op- erations in the front lines the division commander, nevertheless, desires to spe- officially record his appreciation of those named.
 First Lieut. Alvin F. Belden, ambu- lance company 359.
 During the St. Mihiel operation, on September IA, 191S while in charge of the litter bearer section, Lieutenant Bell den succeeded in evacuating 35 wounded litter cases from the first aid station of the 360th infantry. near Norroy, to a point on the Norroy-P Pont-a Mousson road where they could be reached by ambu- lances. From noon to 3 o'clock in the afternoon he worked under harassing sf fellfire to give aid to these men and relieve their suffering. At o'clock the shellfire became so heavy that ambuances could no longer reach them. With five seriously wounded yet to be cared for, he remained at his post and, with the assistance of Corporal Boyer, moved them three times to safety and away from the shellfire of creeping barrage."

One of the features of the trial of Congressman Huddleston against The Age-Herald, now in progress in Judge Smiths division of the circuit court, is the fact that so many men who are in terested in the case are in public life, a number of them holding public office or being candidates for office.
 The ninth district congressman is the plaintiff. Lieutenant Governor Miller is counsel for The Age-Herald. Judge s. D. Weakley, counsel for Huddleston, is a candidate for the United States Senate to succeed Senator Underwood. Borden Burr, who has also been frequently mentioned as a possible candidate for the U. S. Senate. is counsel for the Birmingham News and is attending the trial an observer because a similar case against this newspaper is to be tried in Judge Greens division of the court as soon as The Age Herald case is disposed of.
 John w. Altman, who is also counsel for Huddleston, managed the congress- mans campaign and has for a number of years been a successful political leader in the county. Hugh Morrow of counsel for The Age-Herald. is former state senator and has taken a more or less detached interest in county and state politics for many years. although he has seldom sought office for himself. With so many well known political figures present it is natural that various men

DAY OF ARGUMENT IN HUDDLESTON CASE Jury May Be Chosen This Morning in Suit Based on
 Age-Herald Cartoon

Yesterday was consumed entirely in pleadings and rulings in the case of Congressman George Huddlesson against The Age-Herald, which is on trial before Judge c. B. Smith in the circuit court.
 The congressman seeks s100.00o dam ages based on cartoon published in The Age-Herald April IA, last year, and a news dispatch from Washington, published on April 12 The cartoon bore the heading, The little bolshevik from Birmingham desires to address wearing an iron cross on it's bosom, which the bill of complaint claims caricatured the plaintiff.
 Judge S. D. Weakley for the con- gressman and Lieut.. Gov. N. L. Miller for The Age-Herald are arguing the pleadinge and they have been followed with interest by those attending the trial Hugh Morrow is associated as counsel for The Age-Herald, while John w. Altman is also representing the congressman.
 Attention was devoted during the morning to the bill of complaint as amended and demurrers to the bill Council for The Age Herald contended that the bill did not recite with suf- ficient particularly that the cartoon represented MT. Huddleston, while Judge Weakley analysed the various features of the cartoon to show that it did represent him and this differ ence of opinion resulted in q number of amusing passages.
 Judge Smith had permitted amend ment to be made to the bill and a copy of the cartoon was attached to tre amendment marked Exhibit A." De- murrers to pleas had been argued when court adjourned late yesterday after noon and Judge Smith reserved his ruling on these until this morning.
 The selection of the jury to try the case will probably begin this morning.

 BIRMINGHAM QUOTA
Salvation Army Campaign Managers Need More Workers in Final Spurt
 to Put the City Over

Only two more days remain for the cit izenship of Greater Birmingham to com to the aid of the Salvation Army hom, service fund campaign and by far the greater portion of its quota of sl10,O00 still remains to be raised
 More volunteer workers are needed and again the call goes out for men and wom- en who have the success of this cam paign at heart and believe in making A creditable showing for Birmingham in this campaign to come to it's aid and as- sist in the canvass, even if only for a few hours before the close of the drive Thursday night.
 An appeal has been made by City Chair man James J. Jackson to the various civic organizations of the city to desig- nate an active committee of six members ! ca oh to assist in the final drive of Thurs day. the last day of the campaign, and thus aid in measure in relieving the handicap under which this campaign has been due to the lack of workers
 Another appeal is also made for the same reason to all citizens who have not yet been solicited to bring or send their contributions to local headquarters at 401 Twentieth street. north, and make any checks payable to J.

 Among the larger subscriptions received during Tuesday are: Connors- Weyman Steel company, s100; Connors Steel com pany, s100; Douglass Brothers, $50; South ern Coupon company, $50; Farmers and Ginners Cotton Oil company. $25: Kirk patrick Sand and Cement company, $25; Batterton Coffee company, s25: Sidney Hart, $25 Wood & Crabbe Grain com pany. $25; William J.

 Maj. w. S. Pritchard and a squad of realtors as well as Col. A. s. Winch and his band of Elks and a few other com mittees are still faithfully at work and with good results, considering the limited number of workers, and the various wom- ems committees are also still at it, but the individual subscriptions are rather small when compared with what has been done in other campaigns and this fact also has had much to do with the general apparent slump in this campaign
 However, reports from other cities of similar size and others throughout the south indicate that most of them in pro portion are even in worse shape in this campaign than is Birmingham, and when compared in proportion to the population of some of the larger cities of the north and east, Birmingham is doing about 20 per cent better to date in its support of the Salvation Army home service cam paign.
