"An Overt Act"

The killing OF four veterans OF the
war in the Armistice Day parade at
Centralia, Wash. was an act OF open
rebellion against the United States
It mattered not that the soldiers
had been discharged; they were
wearing the uniform Of the United
States army. and that uniform. the
symbol of the military authority OF
the government, was fired upon: IN
cold blood these ex-service men were
shot down under circumstances that
pointed to a deliberately planned at
tack.
The alleged l. W. WIS who killed
the soldiers are enemies Of the Unit
ed States just as surely as the Ger
mans on the battlefields Of France.
The death Of these four veterans is a
matter which concerns the whole
country as much as the town where
they lived and met their death. 1t
is acting as nothing else has to crys-
talize the lethargic sentiment OF the
country into a feeling Of real alarm
at the manifestations Of radical ac-
tivity and the dangers in which we
are living. We have been too easy
and too incredulous with the disciples
of Lenine and Trotzky. We have is-
nored them with a smile and a shrug
and gone on our complacent way
while they have gone on their busy
trail Of dissension and destruction.
Now we are finding that the two
roads meet and a bolshevik looks
more formidable than he did six
months ago. He is armed. he is bold,
he has substantial backing and he
has grown more sure of himself. He
plants himself in the middle Of the
road and asks us to lie down and let
him walk dry shod and rough shod
over US. II we demur or question his
hight. he draws a bead on US. One
Of the men arrested in Centralia is
said to have confessed that plans
were made two months ago to get"
the four soldiers who were shot. as
they had been active in suppressing
radicalism in the community.
No more evidence and no more ex-
cuses should be needed for causing
the immediate and continuous prose-
cution of all radical organizations in
this country. The Americanism res
olutions adopted by the American
Legion. including a demand for "a
change ins the Department Of Justice
from a passive organization to mil
liant. active branch. whose findings
will be promptly acted upon by the
executive authority" can be fully
endorsed by every true citizen.
Promises Of Investigations and de-
portations are not enough. The
country is going to keep pretty close
tabs on the treatment Of sojourning
bolsheviki henceforth and unless they
are cared for by the Department Of
Justice in a way that makes them
harmless to the security of the Unit
ed States government and its citi-
zens, the government officials will
find matters taken out Of their hands.
This must not be. Upholders of law
and order must not take the law into
their own hands. We were gratified
to note that ex-seryice men guarded
the Jail and protected the prisoners
from the mob. with a single excep-
tion. The lynching Of that one is
easily understood; we have no SYM
rathy to waste respecting his fate.
but lynching is often more serious
and regrettable because Of its influ-
ence on the community than because
Of its effect on the lynched.

MANY TENANTS ARE MOVING INTO OWN
 HOME DWELLINGS
Ten Per Cent of Tenant Population Has Changed Places of AbOde--HOuse
 Shortage in Evidence

If three moves are equal to a fire as some philosophical tenant once sagely ob- served. Birmingham is now being dam aged to the extent of 1000 conflagratons, for nearly 300 families-almost 15,oOo peo, plezrepresenting 10 per cent of the tenant population, have entrusted their belong ings to the piano and furniture jugglers of the Magic City since Monday. Realty experts figure that about half of this number are moving into their own homes dwellings which they have purchased since last october l.
 Adam was the first tenant. The devil talked him into breaking his lease Of he wouldn't have changed locations. Ever since that prehistoric date the moving tenant has been with us each fall-the goat of landlords and transfer men alike
 Birmingham has never been grea! city for moving. In the old days here there were so many vacant houses that tenants could renew their leases at their own figures, but lately the tide has turned and the supply is so short of the demand that the average renter is afraid not to meet the increased stipend for fear of being unable to find another abode.

CONSTRUCTION CAMPAIGN

Meanwhile the Birmingham Realty company and other large property own CTS are doing their utmost to relieve the shortage by putting on a housing con- struction campaign unequaled in the city's history. General Manager Groom Beatty of the realty company is building nearly 100 houses in the Norwood sec tion alone. The Tennessee company has also done its share by putting up hun dreds of homes aound it's Fairfield plants. Private capital seeking profitable fields for investment is fast finding it's way into the housebuildng game, and lumber dealers report a heavier business during the past month than any similar period since the war
 The own Your Own Home" movement originated by Hill Ferguson is already making considerable progress and realty agents declare that it will ultimately solve the problem of high rents
 For the present, however, thousands of our people will yearly be confronted with the task of moving their furniture from place to place as regularly as October l rolls around. "A
 Some effort has been made on the lpArt of real estate men here to abolish 6o6v- ing day and make leases eXpireN all through the year. There has also been disposition on the part of some prop erty owners to rent their houses from April to April but October M continues to be the real moving day-the date on which 80 per cent of all leases expire

NEGRO G|VENL|FE ON MURDER CHARGE Henry Mays Found Guilty of the Killing of Negro
 at North Haven

A verdict of guilty and a sentence of life in the penitentiary was the finding of the jury yesterday afternoon in the case of Henry Mays, negro, charged with the killing of Frank Hollis, negro, tried before H. P. Heflin in the criminal court The shooting occurred last June at the home of Cora Tutwiler at North Haven. According to testimony given by states 8 witnesses, the Tutwiler woman, another negress; Hollie and Munroe Scrugg were all visiting when someone rapped at the door. Asked who it was the answer was Henry Mays" who said he wanted to collect s11 he had advanced to the tance- In order to scare him away Hol- lis stated that he took shogtun and blew a large hole in the door. Everyone in the house, expecting return to the shot. sought cover.
 The return came from an unexpected quarter. according to the testimony. for someone started firing into the house through back window. Hollis was hit in the back and neck, his jugular vein
 
 ward. Scrugg testified that he was sho, through the arm. Finding the table be- hind which he was sheltering insufficient he made bolt to get under .he bed. I, was while making this transfer that he was hit. He changed his mind and de- cided it would be much safer outside. so instead of getting under the bed he ran out the door and disappeared.
 As he was leaving his first position Hollis said to him. I'm shot, Munroe; m dying. His laconic reply was me, too" but he casually rolled his dying friend over to verify his statements and then ran out, only stopping long enough to secure his overcoat
 Mays had no witnesses to support his defense. He was not arrested for sev- eral months after the shooting, and no one saw dim that night. He admitted that he Was the caller, but claimed that he ran off when Hollis blew the hole in the door with the shotgun. He denied coming back and doing the shooting. The jury were out about three hours before reaching a verdict
