CUTCL|FF MUST
 SERVE SENTENCE
Case of Birmingham Man Charged With Attempt to
 Kill Wife Confirmed
By FRED H. GORMLEY
 Montgomery Bureau The Age Herald 22i-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, June 22.-(Special)- William H. Cutcliff, former merchant of Birmingham, must serve an inde- terminate sentence of ten to twenty years in the state penitentiary on a charge of assault with intent to murder his wife, Mrs. Julia Cutcliff, in Bir- mingham several months ago. The written by Presiding Judge c. R. Bricken, affirmed the case, and ruled that it was not essential that the christian name of Mrs. Cutcliff be shown in the indictment against her husband. The court also held that the question of insanity, pleaded by Cut cliff. was with the jury to decide.
 After taking up the argument that the christian name of Mrs. Cutcliff was not shown in the indictment Judge Bricken wrote the following: Tn the instant case the name of the injured party is alleged as Mrs. w. H. Cut cliff, and when this witnes was on the stand she testified her name was Mrs. W. H. Cutcliff, in which testimony, of itself. tends to substantiate the averment of the indictment in this re- spect. It is true that on cross-exam- : ination of this witness she testified that her maiden name was Julia Giles and that her christian name was Julia. and during the progress of the trial there was other evidence to the same effect. But the evidence is without dispute that she was the wife of w
 H. Cutcliff and that she was generally known and called by that name. Nor was there any question as to the actual identity of the injured party in view of this evidence. We are of the opin- ion that the ruling of the court upon the several questions in connection with this matter were free from err TOT. It cannot be doubted however, that the better practice would have been for this allegation of the indict- ment to have contained the christian name of the injured party, which, of course, could easily have been ob- tained by the grand jury while en- gagged in the investigation of this case. AS no error of a reversible nature appears in any of the rulings of the court complained of, and as the record is free from error, also, it follows that the judgment of the lower court must be affirmed.'

Independent Socialists
 Victorious In Berlin
By Associated Press

Berlin, June 22.-Tndependent social ists scored an overwhelming victory in the first election for the municipal council since the inclusion of the outer suburbs in Greater Berlin, which. next to New York, now is the largest city, so far as area is concerned.
 Eighty eight out of the 225 seats were won by independent socialists, while the socialist democrats elected thirty eight councillors. These two so- calist factions which cooperate in municipal politics, therefore, will have q decisive majority.
 Issues on which the elections were fought dealt mainly with the food ques- tion, wages, cheap transportation and others of a public utility nature.
 Greater Berlin's floating debt at the end of April was 1,175, 900, 900 marks, of which 522 0OO 900 marks is unse- cured.

President answer themseve," Mir. Cum mings said The character of such lead
 ership depends upon the vitality of the man who i President Mir Wilson is a
 very vital leader and his greatness will
 be more universally recognized in the
 next decade than perhaps it is now
 Discussion as to the platform and or
 ganization of the democratic national
 delegates here apparently more than the
 prospects of aspirants for the nomina-
 tion. It was said that if the proposal to
 make Senator Thomas ]. Walsh of Moa-
 tana. permanent chairman of the con
 vention, is not realized he may be put for
 ward for the chairmanship of the resolu-
 tions committee which frames the plat form. Bainbridge Colby, secretary of
 state has been mentioned frequently for the permanent charmanship of the con
 vention. and Senator Glass of Virginia heretofore has been virtually the only
 delegate advocated to head the platform committee.
 There seemed to be some uncertainty today as to whether the Virginia state democratic platform, endorsed by Presi- dent Wilson. would be urged in it's en- tirety as the basis of the national plat form or only acceptance of the League of Nations plank would be advocated. Both democrats and republicans apparS ently had overlooked the Panama Canal Zone in calls for the national convention, Mir. Cummings said today.

No man will get anywhere by sub

 Moore, manager of the campaign of Governor Cox Of Ohio for the demo-
 cratic presidential nomination, in a

 made by William F. McCombs of New

 MT. McCombs, who is my friend and whose ability 1 have always had a high regard, has fallen into the error of many men who have the fatal gift of sarcasm and who cannot resist the
 temptation to say things which do ire parable damage to the cause they rep resent.

For the Good of
 the Community

VT was suggested last autumn when the city, the street railway and the street railway employees reached an amicable arrangement in the matter of car-fare fol- lowing an open showing of the conditions and the emergency, that this be called the Birmingham way"
 The Birmingham way" embraced a council of the involved interests, the peo- pie represented by their elected commis- sion, the employer (the utility), and the employed.
 That was a secure foundation on which to build. The rest was easy With the cards on the table face up fair arbitra- ment was inevitable
 The Wall Street Journal is a trifle late in entering praise for this method of pro- cedure, not having heard perhaps of the Birmingham initiative. Its praise is for ''an example in handling of relations be- tween community and the public utili- ties serving it'' coming from the lower peninsula of Virginia.
 There the corporation operating trac- ton lines, gas plants and electric lighting plants and power systems in Newport News, Hampton and other municipalities found itself facing deficit in income this spring and at the same time requiring S250,000 for expenditures to maintain the service.
 The Journal says:
 Without attempting to dictate the terms and methods of relief the company laid the facts before the common councils of the cities concerned and asked them to decide what should be done"
 Public hearings followed. There was nothing sub rosa. It was all before the eyes of everyone. The result:
 Tn the end, the common councils unan- imously voted to recommend to the state commission an increase in the regular street car fare from five to seven cents with an advance on gas from S1 to 1.10'
 And the Journal remarks:
 Mot only have these communities avoided protracted Wrangle of a seml- political sort, with all it's destructive col lateral effects, but they have earned for themselves a reputation for prompt fair OCdlIlS WHICH CdIl lcll tO PAOVO o'11 immense advantage in the upbuilding of their industrial life.o
 All this might have been said about Bir- mingham, which initiated this procedure ten months ago, but, even as it is, the com mendation bestowed on the Virginia ac- tion can be appropriated to themselves by Birmingham citizens.
 The main point involved is that men met one another on an equal footing or confidence in one another's sense of jus tice. There was no /burrowing; no half statement of fact with the tail-end of 1t held back; no timid star-chamber sessions of the city authorities in which main con- slderation was not so much what should be done to work justice as what would come nearest nursing the vote in the next election; no soft-pedaling of actual con- ditlons and no gum-shoeing to ascertain the probable popularity or unpopularity of proposed action.
