He also says that he has made to separate reports to this effect. but still he is unable to get himself counted.
 '"There has never been anyone con- nected with taking the census along this part of our avenue" said NIT. Saunders. Families on my right and left have not been counted. And fam lilies out our way are worth counting, too, if you want to swell the census figures There are five in my own family and really this is very modest sized family for this part of the city.

WARREN ELECTED ON ART COMMISSION
Will Advise With Commits sion on Designs of Public
 Buildings and Schools

W. T. Warren, a well-known arch ltect of Birmingham. was elected a mem Der of the Birmingham art commission yesterday by the city commissioners.
 He will advise with the board of com rissioners on matters of design for pub lie buildings, schools and similar munich pal structures.
 MT. Warren has a national reputation for his taste and Judgment in archi- tectural art, and has on more than one occasion been called into consultation by the national art commission. which in- stitution he has been asked to represent in the south.
 Both art commissions mentioned have as their purpose the rendering of advAee. when asked, concerning the selection of designs for permanent structures. These commissions were called into being some years ago in an effort to secure har- nonious and fitting designs for public buildings
 In the old aldermanic days, a city of hcial said yesterday, many cities had in their municipal councils men of fine com mercial training and business success, vet of such training and Judgment in art that their opinion and choice in such matters was not to be taken as of the highest authority. The result was mat often a well meaning official was called upon to make the final decision in a mat ter concerning which he had not the faintest idea. with the result that the country is dotted with architectural mon- strosities that succeeding generations, with some training and judgment, pro- pounced repulsively hideous.
 While the present commissioners of Birmingham bashfully admit that they have some slight knowledge of what is desirable in architecture, at the same time they want to play safe, so they have called to membership in the Birmingham art commission man upon whose Judg- ment they can safely rely

Although Solicitor Tate will render an opinion this morning at the request of Judge Stiles of the probate court, and which tends to place the responsibility of the exemption from poll tax of ex-ser- vice men on the probate judge, it will have no material effect on the work that has already been done towards this end by the election commissioner, NJ E. Nor ris
 This was learned yesterday afternoon when Mir. Morris informed The Age Herald that his cut:es as election com missioner in this county took in this phase of the work. and that his egorts towards facilitating the exemption of ex- service men by mailing out the blanks, and thus saving an extra trip to the court house would be carried out as he had planned.

to Judge Stiles this morning. 1t cited the proclamation from the governor. stating that the responsibility of eXempting the ex-service men from poll tax rested on the various probate judges of the state.
 As Jefferson county by virtue of a bill passed, creating the office of an election commission. gives NJ l.. Morris. who now holds this office. duties formerly held by the probate judge. MT. Morris believes the exemption of the exsService men comes under this head.
 Judge Stiles when asked yesterday afternoon. what action would be taken regarding the ruling, stated that he had as yet not received the ruling from Soli- citor Tate. but. nevertheless had always been under the impression that the crea- ting of the office of election commissioner took this work off his hands.

FINISH EVIDENCE
 IN CUSTER CASE
Defense Admits Socialists Ratified Report Hedging Support to Third In-
 ternatiOnal
By A,.oeIated Pres.

Albany, N. Y., February 10.-Counsel for the assembly judiciary committee late today completed presentation of evidence against the five suspended socialist as- sem blymen being tried by the committee on charges oI disloyalty.
 Seymour Stedman, however, claimed that technically the prosecution could not rest until his side had read into the record additional excerpts from docu- ments introduced by committee counsel. This reading, which then was begun, had not been completed when adjournment was taken.
 In closing it's case, the prosecution, which had charged the socialist party is conspiring to bring about revolution in this country, drew from opposing forces acknowledgment that. by a refer endum just completed, the party member ship had ratified a report submitted at the Chicago convention last year pledg- ing support to the third tMoscowl inter national.
 The report on which support is pledged the third International is a minority 2 port on international questions. The prosecution claims that it is more drastic than the majority report ou the same subject. The defense conceded that the locals to which the defendants belonged had voted for the minority report.
 
 The report which declares the second international dead. cites that 'the ma iority parties of Russia, Italy, Swtzer- land Norway, Bulgaria, Serbia and Greece and growing minorities in every land, are uniting on the basis of the preliminary convocation at Moscow of the third internationals," and adds that as in the past, so in this extreme crisis we must take our stand with them"
 '.The socialist party Ot the nlteu States u says the minority report, de clares itself in support of the third (Mos-- cow) international, not so much because it supports the Moscow programme anu methods, but because:
 "A Moseow'.1s doing something when is really. challenging to world imperial- ism.
 "C. Under these circumstances, what aver we may have to say to Moscow Afterwards, it is the duty of socialists to stand by it now because it's fall would mean the fall of the socialist republic m Europe and also the disappearance of so- cialist hopes for many years to come.'
