STUDENTS ID HAVE
 SELF GOVERNMENT
Birmingham-Southern Col lege Has Been Working for New Order Many
 Weeks

Undergraduates of Birmingham-So ern College say the plan for student gov ernment has been adopted there
 This subject has been under discussion at the institution for weeks, in college halls and on the campus. Speakers have discussed 1t before the student body and members of the faculty have not spared time or pains in developing it.
 Constitutions of other colleges operating under this plan are being studied for tre selection of points and paragraphs avail able for use at the college here.
 Its best feature says C. L.. Bales, assistant city attorney, who spoke re- gently on the subject at Birmingham Southern, 'is that 1t introduces an inten- siye study of local government and self government. bringing out the sheer man. bod of the students, developing a great CT pride in themselves and their college, and fundamentally fostering character building.
 At all schools where this plan of han ding student body has been inaugu- rated, the best results have been obtained in practically all instances.
 The students of Birmingham- Southern have paii their faculty the highest com pliment,' MT, Bailes continued, flor when the faculty suggested the change at fist the students would not hear to it, but since then, seeing that it Is really a fun damental part of modern college life, they are, in the great majority, in favor of it."
 Information from the college is to the effect that as soon as the constitution and other governing data are compiled and approved the innovation will go into effect

 Nuara stated last night that the Nuara family and the Throne family lived in Sutera, Italy, for number O. years and were on the best of terms.
 "Why did Firrone try to kill you 1T Coalmont?' he was asked
 'I don't know" he replied

 Throne was a cobbler and had small shoe shop at S14 North Twenty fourth street.
 The body was buried in Elmwoo6 cemetery yesterday afternoon.
 Chief Lyons complimented his mer on their good work in finding Nuara within twenty four hours after the search was begun.
 All four of the shots that struck Pasquale Throne entered well above the armpits. according to a chart drawT by Coroner H. A Hogan and filed Thursday for official record. Thres of tbem struck in the head. This fac is pointed to by the coroner as a cir constance in the confession of Carmele Nuara that he was in the rear seat of the automobile when he fired the shots that ended Firrones life.
