Local Institutions for Sick to Keep Open House
 Thursday

Calling attention to the great work done by hospitals in Birmingham and urging people to become better ac- quainted with them, Dr. N. A. Barrett. president of the city commission, to- morrow will issue a proclamation de- claring Thursday May 12, Hospital Day. here.
 Dr. Barrett's action is In line with that being taken throughout the United States on the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale.
 Mrs. Birdie Golightly. superinten dent of the Birmingham infirmary, is state chairman for Hospital Day, and Miss Helen Mclean of Fraternal hos pital is county chairman. Mrs. Golight- ly and Miss Mclean have been very active in promoting programmes for the day. All of the 12 hospitals in Bir- mingham will take part.
 Hospitals will keep open house and visitors will be conducted over the buildings and details of the work ex- plained. At the Children's hospital the new unit will be formally opened with appropriate exercises. At the Bir- mingham infirmary graduating exer- cises of the nurses. training school will be held and the class will receive diplomas. At the Fraternal hospital there will be a reception in the after noon. At the Elizabeth. Duncan Me- morial hospital in Bessemer a com mittee of club women will have charge
 Dr. W. M. Cunningham of the Corona hospital at Corona has written Mrs. Golightly that he intends to turn over all proceeds of May 12 to the Walker County Red Cross associa- tion to be used in paying the salary of the public nurse maintained by the Red Cross in Walker county.
 These are only instances of things planned by hospitals, Mrs. Golightly said, and continued:
 Very few people realize the magni- tude of the work done by the hospi- tals here and everywhere else. The 12 hospitals here handle daily an average of 5000 people. Fully as many mora visit them each day. We are therefore In intimate contact with the public every day In the year and National Hospital Day is designated to give the people peep behind the scenes.
 "One of the features of the recep- tions will be tour of the hospital with detailed explanation of the work done and how 1t is done.
 Most people feel subdued and out of place when they visit a hospital. Modern hospitals every day are get ting further and further away from the old idea that service must be in- personal

SOLDIER IS SEEKING NEWS OF HIS MOTHER

On this day of days to think or mothers, to see her, to send her a mes- sage or some little token of undying af- lection. there comes word of a soldier boy who Is lost from his mother. He has never found her since returning from the great World war
 Frank c. Day believes one of three things-either his mother has forgotten him, believes him dead or simply can't find him. In 1918 his mother sent him Q telegram that she was in Birmingham, but he didn't receive the telegram un- til some time in 1919. This leads him to the belief that she probably thinks he is dead. The news reached him very in- directly later that his mother had mar ried man named Ames, though he has been unable to ascertain the reliability of this report.
 Can anyone help a soldier who lost his mother through services to his country find his mother? He has sent this appeal to the Red Cross for publication on Mothers Day, hoping that from feel ing of sentiment which the day inspires someone's eye will be caught who will help put him on the lost trail of home and fireside.

 LATTIMER'S TESTIMONY On the witness stand, Lattimer, 1 the chief witness for the prosecu-
 ton, testified that he, Neville,
 Millisan and Little were in the wagon of Neville returning from
 union meeting at Logtown. As
 they approached the place where
 the railroad cross the dirt road, he
 stated, they met Bivens and Wick
 ware. Bivens, according to the l. witness, asked, ~Is that you Willi, To which Neville replied, "Yes, is
 that you Johnf" Bivens then
 asked where they had been md,
 when told that they hnd been at- 1 tending union meeting, is alleged 1 to have said, "Oh, hell, I thought
 yOu had been some where." To
 this, Lattimer told the jury. Milli-
 gan pulled pistol out of his
 right coat. pocket and started
 firing.
 Biven turned and ran and Milligan and l Neville followed him, according to the 1 statement of Lattimer, and when they | came back they got into the wagon and rushed away from the scene. The wit ness told the jury that when some mem tion was made of what had happened the defendant had told him that if they told tBey would meet the same fate. l Little testified that Milligan had come to his home on the night of the shooting and had threatened his wife when she wanted to know what the trouble was 1 CROWDS AT TRIAL | All during the trial crowds have packed the court room and all day yesterday a I large crowd sat in the court room wait Ting for the verdict Although the crowd had thinned out considerable at 6:30 o'clock, the news that the jury was ready to report spread fast and by the time the judge reached the courthouse there was large crowd of spectators present to hear the verdict
 This has been one of the most bitterly fought cases ever waged for the life and liberty of man in Jefferson county, ac- cording to persons who witnessed tho case from the beginning.
 The taking of testimony of witnesses consumed seven days and the argument one and throughout interest did not lag Efforts of the defense to place the hlame for the murder on Dave Lattimer were made and both Milligan and Neville testified that the shots that killed Bivens were fired by Lattimer.
 Stubborn fighting and word clashes over the admisibility of evidence and ex- animation of witnesses features the long drawn trial.
