BRoYLES AT WILLIAM
Claims Barrett Now Supported By
 Elements Formerly Against Him

w. O. Broyles candidate for pres ident of the commission was viz orously applauded last night at Wy lam when he said that his answer to question in the questionnaire sent him was: Tn so far as Protes- tant teachers are excluded from Catholic schools, I favor the exclu- sion of Catholic teachers from Pro- testant schools"
 Mir. ,Broyles continued the attacks he has been making against Presi- dent N A. Barrett and H. P. Bur russ of the commission. He said that Dr. Barrett had proved himself 'an ingrate to his constituents be- cause he had been elected on a clean up platform and today, the whisky and vice element, the foreign and un- American citizens are supporting him"
 MT Broyles also criticized the em ployment of Forney Johnston to rep resent the city's interests when MT Johnston had previously been ident- flied as attorney tor the very cor porations which the city was fight ing. He said money had been wasted in the telephone and water work S cases and the people had suffered
 He also scored the government food sale and the way it was hand led and held Barrett and Burruss both responsible for it.
 Mir. Broyles dsclared that if he was elected 1t would be at financial sacrifice but that Birmingham had treated him we'll and he was eage- to do something for his city--to see it free from the control of vicious elements and that 100 cents value was received for every dollar spent He promised to cooperate with the other commissioners elected for the advacement and upbuilding of the city.

BURRUSS AT WEST END
Traces History of -Four to One
 Epoch at City Hall

Declaring 1t to be far better that
 the public in it's criticism of gov ernment officials should make mis- takes in it's charges than for offi- | cals not to be criticized, Commits sioner Henry Page Burrus last night l Spoke before an audience which filled the auditorium of the West 1 End public library.
 | The public official who needs an arm of the government to protect
 his character before respectable tected." Comm ssioner Burruss said in opening his remarks, "I have been criticised In part have been criti- cized justly and in part unjustly, but as a public official I am willing to stand criticism"
 Tracing again the history of the -four to one" epoch in city govern
 ment, in which Commis ssioner Bur russ declared the other commits sioners stood each time solidly against him, he said it had begun the time he was assigned the de- partment of public improvements. Men in the city hall told him, MT. Burruss said, that he was getting a position which had proven the political graveyard to all who had held it, but it was thrust upon him by the other commissioners against his will.
 Got Money Last Year Commissioner Burruss charged that he was unable to get money to keep the streets in good order during the first three years of his administration. but when the city election loomed upon the horizon the other commi ssioners to his surprise voted $12O,000 for the past year in order that they miught make a showing before the public.
 q am proud of what has been ac- ccmplished upon the streets during the past year" Commissioner Bur russ said, N'yet it seems strange to me that Dr, Barrett objects when ever l say what did for the streets. as he did at the Gate City meeting
 Jchn Taylor can talk about my fire department John Hornady can talk about my schools, but the min ute l say anything about the streets pr. Barrett jumps up to say that the commission as whole did that. That gives doctor pain"
 Mir Burruss reiterated his charge that Dr. Barrett is as much respon sible for moral conditions in Bir1 mingham as John H. Taylor, and declared again that they are bound together with hoops of steel. He said he was not going to make any sensational charges. but he would say that law enforcement in Blr- mingham had not been what 1t should be, and would not be until a man with ten times as much back bone as Dr. Barrett is placed at the head of the city government. The picture of small group of people running the other four commits sioners into the Gulf of Mexico with lightning bugs was painted again by Mir. Burruss.
 MT. Burruss said that 1t was through his efforts that an eight l hour day was adopted as . base ih the city hall He advocated public ownership of the waterworks. light

and street railway company, ana the city setting a standard percentage which it will agree to pay on street paving propositions. Special stress was laid upon the necessity of do- ing away with star chamber ses- sions of the commission.
 Dinsmore Speaks
 Commissioner Burruss was fol- lowed last night by M. A. Dinsmore, candidate for associate city commits sioner MT. Dinsmore begain his re- marks with the announcement that the lid will be taken off at his meet ing in Woodrow Wilson park Fri day night, and said he will lay bare the truth to the public.
 Calling attention to the fact that he has been summoned by the grand jury to appear before them, MT. Dinsmore declared that he would tell the jurors the truth, and had the facts to substantiate his state ments. He said he had not called names during the campaign but he stood ready to give them to the grand juhy.
 John Taylor has hired five or SIX lawyers to help him fight me in his efforts to get this dirty little of flee" MT. Dinsmore said. He said he couldn't make a speech and wash [ going to make any in the campaign, but I said l would smoke him out and now he is making speeches 50 minutes long,"
 MT. Dinsmore brought forth a laugh when he declared that he was rearing three boys, and that IS more than Taylor has done for BIT mingham
 c. c. Ellis presided at the meet ing and introduced both Mr. Bur russ and MT. Dinsmore.

TAYLOR GREETED W MLY BY B|G
 WOODLAWN CROWD
Other Candidates Also Con- tinue Their Meetings In Various Parts of
 the City

1 Commissioner John H Taylor de- | livered an address at the city hall in Woodlawn last night in which he reviewed his record as commission CT of public safety. R. A. Kennedy presided over the meeting.
 l The city hall was filled to it's ca pacity as Commissioner Taylor re-
 lated the difficulties under which the police department and detective | department had labored in the past. i He stated that at various times the government had taken several of his most reliable detectives, in all 12 or 14, and that this difficulty had practically been overcome. The eff | ficiency of the police department has been greatly increased and the number of men has grown from 127 to 1S0. he declared, and he touched upon the fact that no unlawful or 1 ganized bands had been able to op- crate in the city.
 l This shows a high state of effi-
 ciency and furthermore, these de- l partments have recovered and re- l turned more stolen porperty than any other department of this nature | in the country" he declared.
 1 The number of men in the fire department has been doubled. A new fire alarm system has been in-
 stalled and will be in full operation within the next 60 days. He mem toned that the labor employment | bureau had been created by him, and the woman's bureau of the po- lice department The free employ ment bureau has been a great aid in securing work for many men without cost and has done a great deal of good, he stated.
 In touching upon the plans for the future. he said the womens bu- reau of the police department will be increased within the next fiscal year, and will be better equipped. Also a matron will be. appointed for the central prison. Mr. Taylor was greeted with warm applause. Capt. Matt Murphy then spoke. He explained many of the things that had been done by the police depart ment. Referring to Dinsmore' s statement that he did not owe the city any money, Captain Murphy spoke of the number of bonds signed by Dinsmore amounting to s575 which he said have not been paid. This was the list of bonds read in | the meeting at Ensley Tuesday night, some of which dated from September 15 1916, and through February 2s, 1919. Originally these bonds amounted to s1,200. but were
 made final for the lesser amount, Captain Murphy stated upon MT. Dinsmore's agreement to pay them.
 Wardens at the jail were instructed not to accept him on bonds on Jam uary 25, 1919, he said, and referred
 to letter from J. M. Jones. Jr.,
 city comptroller.
 Captain Murphy declared that MT
 Dinsmore as temporary recorder, at
 tempted to hear petition for writ
 of habeas corpus in the case of a
 woman, which occurrence resulted in
 his dismissal from the bench, he
 made application for writ oi
 habeas corpus for the same woman
 the next day before Judge Horace
 Wilkinson, Captain Murphy said but the petition was denied and the
 woman was returned to the isolation hospital.
 This meeting was one of the larg- est audiences Commissioner Taylor has so far addressed

 Frank Cutler, the well known en- gineer of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railway company, who is sec retary of the Alabama Technical as- sociation, made short talk in which he declared MT. Batson to be the logical man for the position of com. missioner of public Improvements on account of his technical training and practical experience. He said Mir. Bat son has demonstrated the fact that he knows how to get results.
 MT. Batson made a short and dig

CRIME IN CITY
Speaker for White Laments Number
 of Murders In Birmingham

Friends of William l.. White held two rallies in behalf of his candi- dacy for the city commission last night, one at Thomas and one at East Thomas, at both of which MT. White spoke.
 While MT. White was speaking at East Thomas, c. M. Nelson and Nal colm Watkins addressed an audience at Thomas MT. Nelson, a disabled ex-service man, said that MT. White stood for giving preference to ex- service men when qualified, and out lined his other qualifications for the commission.
 MT. Watkins said that as young man he knew moral conditions in Bir- mingham were not all that they should be- He challenged the state ment of George H. Bodeker that Bir- mingham has fewer murders than any other city of its size in the coun- try, declaring that there were S9 murders in Birmingham in 1920, while there were only 43 in Atlanta. Dur ing the present year. he said. there have been 61 murders here and only 20 in Atlanta.
 MT. White said the reason crime is prevalent in Birmingham is that the city has not an adequate police de- partment. and said he had scheme by which the cit ycould save $10o,0o0 each year, which 1t could apply to police protection. MT. White dis cussed his plan for draining Village creek, which passes through Thomas.

Over the Hill to Happiness

She was the prettiest, the smartest, the most stylish, the kindest, altogether, the most charming girl in the world. That's why Herbert Ralson was going to get married.
 The wedding was two weeks off. Then Herbert suddenly re- alized that the allowance he had made. for furniture was far too small. Things were so blamed expensive!
 "I simply must get $200 more," Herbert told his father.
 The latter's eyes twinkled.
 "You talk like married man." he observed. But if you must have it, you must. And Trustees System is the place to get it. That's a big cooperative body of workers who make loans on the security of honest and steady en- ployment. They charge very low interest and permit repayment in easy installments.
