Musgr0ve Forces Secure Decree to Prevent Circu-
 lation of Campaign Ad

Judge Horace c. Wilkinson of the circuit court, sitting in equity, and with the approval of the presiding judge of the court, yesterday issued temporary injunction against a number of news papers and several individuals con- rected with the Underwood senatorial campaign to prevent the publication of a certain advertisement which it was averred was about to be circulated
 The petitioners were certain officials of labor unions in Birmingham who have been especally active in the Mus grove campaign. It was charged in the petition that the advertisement was to have been circulated chiefly through the weekly press of Alabama in the issues of the papers which will appear later In the week, and that time would thus not be given before the primary next Tuesday to correct the impression which would be created by the publica- tons.
 The court in the decree pointed out that he was reused from bed at II o'clock at night to pass on the petition, and had been compelled to spend prac- tically all of Sunday in looking up the authorities on tho subject.
