(. Decatur. November Especial. y
Patrolman William Simmons. mem
Der of the Decatur police department,
last night shot and killed Robert

Officer Simmons, in company with
a brother officer, was making the
rounds of the business district be-
tween 10 and IL O'clock last night.
AS they approached the corner by the
old bank building they espied several
negroes gathered about an automo-

aroused, they walked over to the
scene TO investigate. Two of the
negroes are said to have made a dash
for liberty at the approach of the
officers.
One of the officers believed he saw
gun in the possession of one of
the fleeing blacks, it is said. and
they gave chase. The negro darted
behind some distractions in the rear
of the bank building site.
AS the officers closed in, Russell il
said to have fired at them, the bull

gun came into play and he fired about
one foot to the right of where tha

OFFICER Simmons was permitted to
go to his home pending an investi-
cation of the circumstances of the

40 OF 30 BILLS
PASSED NOW LAW
HoWle and Mcdonald Meas
ures Only Ones Not Ap-
proved BY Governor

Montgomery, November e.-(Spe-
cial.)-Forty-e eight of the 30 billi
passed by the Legislature 10 the spe.
cial session which ended October %
became laws with the approval of
the governor. The. 10 days allowed
the governor for the approval of bills
after the final adjournment of the
legislature expired Tuesday and a
check showed that all bills were APP
proved with the exception of the
Howle bill decreasing the minimum
fee for public utilities from SIS and
the Mcdonald bill creating the office
of county, treasurer for Lauderdale
county.
Governor Kilby di d not approve
the Howle bill because he believed
each public utility in the state sho I'D
pay s25 at least for the maintenance
of the public service commission. Mr.,
Howle's bill reduced this amount ia
IS.
The Mcdonald bill, creating the of.
flee of county treasurer and provid-
ing for his election, was not approved
because it conflicted with the general
law, which provides that county
funds must be deposited with banks
as custodians of county funds except
in certain instances when the boards
of revenue may designate the persons
who are to be custodians of the
county funds. The Mcdonald bill
which would have been local to .au-
derdale county, would have conflict
ed with the general law and would
have been unconstitutional

Wins Mayorship
of Youngstown, O.,
By Freak Campaign

Youngstown, November "a man
who has lived in Youngstown only
three months and whose platform
provided for a discontinuance of
street car service, turning the streets
over to jitney busses and for Jail
Ing any citizen who paid taxes under
a recent valuation, yesterday was
elected mayor over candidates back
ed by the major party organizations.
He is George L. Oles, who came in
from the. country, established resi-
dence in hotel, and carried on an
eccentric advertising campaign with
out the support of any particular
element or organization.
Other "planks" in Oles' platform
included permitting ''spooning" in
city parks under police protection
Diminishing the entire police force IF
1t doesn't mend its ways" and a
promise to turn over his salary TO
charity.
The women's vote Is believed to
have been responsible for Oles cleo
ition.
Oles started in business here with
barrel of potatoes and a wheel
barrow. Now he has one of the
largest feed businesses in the city
conducting a market in a former
theatre on the public square.
His advertising methods frequently
startled the city. He did not confine
his copy to the selling of potatoes
and onions. but discussed almost
every question of Importance. His
advertising frequently was made the
subject of special articles in metro
politan newspapers.
Mrs. Oles assisted the mayor elect
In his whirlwind campaign and OBJ
servers assign to her much of the
credit for its success. They have
two children, both girls. They inau-
gurated a plan of political meetings
for women from which all men were
excluded. At all meetings Oles who
says he has tried to copy Billy Sun
day, the evangelist always rushed
on the stage. with arms in air
shouting; Here l am; vote for Oles.''
Mr.. Oles announced today that he
would appoint his safety director
late today without consulting the
appointee, and that he and his wife
would leave tonight for Florida, the
scene of many former vacations
which have been described in detail
in his newspaper advertising.

own life. when he snatched them from
beneath the wheels of a westbound
Frisco passenger train. w. Z. VaIen-
tine of 2512 Seventeenth street, Ems

5, respectively, were crossing the
trestle which goes over Village creek
just as the fast Frisco train was ap-
preaching them. MIR. Valentine, de-
spite the danger of his own life, ran
distance OF over zoe feet up the
track just ahead of the train and
caught the children in his arms and
carried them to safety when the
on-comng train came on the trestle.
Mr.. Dalrymple, claim agent of the
Frisco railroad, recommended that a
reward be given to Mr.. Valentine in
the form of a check. This recon-
mendation was sent to higher Off
Gals and Immediately approved. The
children were Elizabeth Alexander,
daughter of MIR. and Mrs. ID. IL. Alex
ander, 7I2 Second street, Pratt City,
and Helen Alexander. daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. James N. Alexander of 704
