 Several Witnesses Say
Rx Associsted Press

Monte Sano, Wash, March 5-- De- fense witnesses in the trial of ten In dustrial Workers of the World, charged with murder in connection with the Centraiia Armistice Day shooting were questioned closely today as to whether shots poured into the ranks of march ing ex-service men were preceded or followed by rush Of faarchers to- ward the l. w. w. halL
 Several witnesses told of having seen marchers in uniform break ranks and approach the hall. but some said this preceded the shooting while others said the shooting seemed to be simul- taneous with the rush. A. Peters. testi- fying as defense witness. said he marched in the parade and heard q cry of Lets go' from the platoon ahead of him. On cross examination he said he heard the cry after the shooting began.
 Prosecution attorneys attached much importance to a letter offered in evil -dence during the cross examination of T. T. Fdmonds. who described himself as a minister without charge and who recently was an investigator for the defense. Edmonds admitted having written the letter. It. was interpreted by the prosecution as indicating that Edmonds failed to find evidence con- meeting Warren o. Grimm. one of the slain soldiers, with any alleged raid on the l. w W hall

RIPE OLIVES ARE:
 UNDER SUSPICION

Another appearance recently of anaerobic is worrying government of ficiaIs and again ripe olives are under suspicion.
 E. $. IIollingshead, director of the New Orleans station of the United States department of agriculture. is in Birmingham and called on officials of the city health department yesterday morning for discussion of the mat ter. While he is. not making sur- vey Of the city in connection with the governuentis quests- for anaerobic sourcessof infection. the health author ities were glad of the opportunity to discuss the matter With him.
 After their discussion it was stated that the deadly germ is almost as omnipresent as that of tetanus. but is quickly overcome by heat and only those foods that are not subject to a heat at least of cooking intensity are liable to foster it's development.
 It is the belief of officials of the city department of health that the ripe olives that have given so much trou- ble and caused abo,ts thirty deaths W ere not thoroughly prepared for mar ket. not cooked on hot enough fire or not cooked long enough at the Cali forna factory, but, at the same time. the germs may develop, even after cooking, in poorly sealed or damaged canned or bottled goods.
 The Birmingham health authorities advise purchasers to reject all canned and bottle goods that appear to be in any way damaged or improperly pre- pared.

Announcement comes from Montgom- cry of the appointment of F. D. Me Arthur, prominent lawyer of this city, as manager of the campaign to be waged in Jefferson county in the inter- est of Sam P. Kennedy for reelection as president of the Alabama public ser vice commission.
 In speaking of the candidacy of MT, Kennedy Mir McArthur says: In ac- cepting charge of Sam F. Kennedy's campaign in Jefferson county I am fully conscious of the importance to every interest in this state, individual and corporate, that a man of tried ex- perience be- retained at the head of the Alabama public service commission. We are entering a period of readjust ment, the delicacy and gravity of which 1 think everyone appreciates, the con trol of the telegraph and telephone lines having just been released by the federal government, the railroads re- turned to private ownership, high costs everywhere in effect and the adequate wage of the workers must of necessiti be maintained it is not time to un- dertake a training of the inexperienced in position of such importance or to make a shift in the middle of thi stream to satisfy political grudges Of selfish interests"

For the Good of
 the Community

E A ham authorized the city commis- sioners to issue and sell bonds to pay for new school buildings and gram mar-an auditorium, city hall and other improvements.
 After two or three trips to New York members of the commission stated, last December, that, arrangements for the sale of the bonds had been made.
 A campaign to raise S250,0O0 as SUD- plemental sum for the auditorium build- ing was announced some time ago to be- gin March 1.
 Citizens are asking about these things and wondering why some action is not being taken in these matters. They don't understand, and no on in authority has at tempted an explanation, why there should be such long delay in starting some thing.
 The school buildings are overcrowded. Not long ago it was stated that the Central High School was in need of additional ac- commodations for several hundred pupils, some statements placing the number as high as 1000.
 Were construction work on the new high school building to begin at once it could not be completed in time for use when the schools open in September. Pos sibly it would be year from September before it would be finished The gram mar schools probably will be as long building.
 To build an auditorium of the dimen- sions and of the type contemplated would require at least year, according to esti- mates. In the meantime other cities are going ahead with building programmes and materials are scarce and transporta- tion facilities inadequate to handle the present volume of business. In little while it may be impossible to get mater ials, of if they are obtainable railroads may be unable to deliver them. In either event further delays will be encountered il. the start towards the erection of the buildings is put off much longer.
 When the schools reopen next fall pres ept congestion of existing buildings will be accentuated, and it may be that thousands of Birmingham children will be unable to attend for lack of accommodations.
 Another years delay in building the auditorium puts the coming of big conven- tions and big musical organizations that much further into the future.
 Lack of adequate school and auditorium facilities give Birmingham a black eye. Other cities are thereby given an advant- age over Birmingham and Birmingham as result will suffer material losses that can never be regained.
 What is the use of giving authority to sell bonds if they are never sold? Un- issued or unsold bonds get nothing.
 There has been talk recently of the city buying the waterworks and the lighting plant. It would be better for the consti- tuted authorities to carry out the pro- gramme already laid out by and for them than to undertake something else for which there is no present urgent need.
 The people want new school buildings
