CHARTER MEMBERS SIGNING FOR CLUB
Organizing Women's Demo- cratic Body Now In PreIimi-
 nary StageS-Many Join

Petitions are being circulated among the wcmen voters by the committee behind the movement to organize a Women's Democratic Club for Birmingham. AL ready large number of voters of the fair sex have sgnified their intention of becoming members of the democratic party, and have signed these petitions.
 That the vote of the women of Jeffer- sor. county will be divided was demon- strated yesterday afternoon by those stating they were not democrats.
 All during the afternoon severaf young women who were working for members ot the committee behind the organization of the Democratic Club welc stationed in the courthouse corridors, where the new vot- CTS were registering. When women whom they knew came by they asked them if they were democrats. In most instances the reply came, Indeed I am." These women were then. asked to sign the pe- titions. which they gladly did. However, some of the women approached stated they were republicans and others when asked if they were democrats said: That is none of your business Undaunted by these replies, the young women working for the Democratic Club continued their inquiries, and were repaid by large number of signatures to the petitions. Judging from the number of names all ready signed to these petitions, Birming- hams Democratic Club for women is as sured.

great misfortune, and has added seri- ously to the difficulties.
 Tt was interference exceedingly rash, exceedingly indiscreet and ap- parently not desired. by anybody Ac- tion of that kind encourages irrespon- sible sections, who are behind the re- sponsible leaders. I hope the discuss sions will be resumed later, but it would be very much easier if they were left to the miners themselves"
 MT. Lloyd George expressed regret that he was unable to give a more sat- isfactory account. During the after noon he had been engaged in very full discussion with some of the spokesman of the miners, who had represented them in the House Tues day with view to discussing possi- . ble alternative ways of reaching a set clement.
 The premier said the discussions had not been actually broken off, and so far as the government was concerned every endeavor would still be made to reach a peaceable solution
 J. H. Thomas followed in a brief speech in which he paid tribute to the premier's conciliatory tone. despite the aggravated situation. and expressed the hope that the premier would not allow new developments to prevent a continuance of the negotiations. MT. Thomas declared himself anxious to find a bridge, despite the opposition from his own side.

MADISON JAIL IS
 IN BAD CONDITION
Jail Unclean and Prisoners Badly Fed, Inspector Says
 In Report
By FRED IT. GORMLEY
 Montgomery Bureau The Ase-heraId


 Montgomery, October 21.-(Special1 Madison county's jail is in a bad condi- tion, is unclean, and tobacco juice may be found on the floor and steel gratings, and complaints of prisoners that the food is bad seem to be well founded, according to a report filed with Governor Kilby this afternoon by the state prison inspection section of the board of control and economy.
 The report said dirt may be found in the prison, filth has accumulated in the corners beds and blankets are dirty and prisoners complained of vermin. Refuse food was found around the prison and dirty cups and pans were in view. The board of revenue of Madison county was given a copy of the report with the statement that the prison must be placed in better condition.
 Morgan eountys jail was found in little better condition. The inspector stated that evidences of improper care could be found on all sides, that to- bacco juice is visible on the gratings and floors and that general repairs are needed.
 The jail of Cherokee county was found to be in the same condition as the last inspection, while the inspector criticized conditions at the arms house, stating that little attention was being paid to the house and that old men and women are forced to live in the samd rooms. The keeper explained that thi. was necessary in order that they could care for one another.
 Henry county's prison was found to need a general cleaning up. It is an old prison and has been carried on the state records as condemned for many months. The inspector reported that inmates of the aims house seemed to be sadly neglected.
 The prison in Jackson county must be remodeled at once, according to the report, a copy of which was mailed to the court of county commissioners. This jail is among the oldest in the state.
 Minor suggestions were made abou' conditions at the Etowah county jail, though it was found to be generally in good condition.
 Dale county's jail was found to be in good condition, but the aims house needs improvements. St. Clair's jail was reported as unchanged in condi- tion, while the inspector reported the jail in DeKalb county to be in gen. orally good" condition.

 Your committee holds out no extrav- agant promises nor does it hope that the facilities established by such a cor poration will at once remedy all of our ills, but we do believe that such a cor poration can be of tremendous bene- fit to the south, and to the nation espe- claily in it's present emergency, and will make it possible to provide a mar ket for some of our agricultural prod ucts, and market the product in coun- tries where credit cannot be satisfac- tor1ly arranged under the present sys- tenn. In addition to emergency bene- flts, such an institution will prove valuable asset in normal times. We therefore recommend a full and serious discussion of this plan and pledge ourselves to try to carry it into effect in the shortest possible time if you who are assembled here today ap- prove this plan and will give us the strong support of which you are capa- Die Of giving in your respective states ROBERT F.
