Two File Damage Suits In Motor Car Accidents

R. F. Wright filed suit in the civil division of the circuit court against Bradley T. Morrison. asking $1o,000 damages. The plaintiff ayers that on October IS. 1921. he was riding with the defendant in an automobile when 1t collided with truck owned by the Birmingham Water Works company, and was injured severely. The accident 1t was stated, occurred at the intersection of Twenty-second street and First avenue. The plain tiff further declared that he was riding in the automobile at the de- fendant's invitation.
 s. B. Nixon, filed suit against J. G. Davis for s25.000 damages for in- juries received when he was thrown form the car driven by the defend ant on November 21, 1921.
 The plaintiff cited In his claim that he was riding with the defend- ant, who had stopped the car on First avenue near the Avondale cot ton mills and that when he attempted to step out of the automobile the de- fendant started the car, causing him to fall to the ground and injuring himself severely.

Prisoner Is Granted
 Liberty Under Bond

Ben c. McGimsey, indicted by the Jerrerson county grand jury on a charge of murder in the second de- gree for the killing of Waldo S. Johnson, was released from the county jail on s1.000 bond. The bond was originally fixed at s2,O00 but on recommendation from Solici- tor Joseph R. Tate, 1t was reduced to $1,000.
 Johnson was fatally shot last Sum day night at a road house on the Montgomery highway. which is said to have been operated by McGimsey.
 The investigation into the death of Johnson by Coroner J. D. Russum was completed Wednesday put on ac- count of conflicting evidence Solici- tor J. R. Tate, decided that examina- tion by the grand jury should be al- lowed before final verdict was rem dered
 A verdict of unlawful homicide was announced by Coroner Russum Thursday.

vassed by the Cincinnati Enquirer, while Senator Atlee Pomerene, run ming fer reelection against Repre- sentative Fess, Is getting virtually a similar percentage of the votes. The troublesome thing to the republicans is the fact that the poll of the Colum- bus Dispatch Is showing almost a precisely similar trend to that of the Enquirer.
 It is predicted in Washington that unless the situation in Ohie takes a decided turn for the better, the President may be called upon to take more active part In the cam psign, by writing one or two letters as climax.
 The troubles of the republicans in Ohio have been multiplied by a se- res of party bolts. First Homer Du- rand, whC ran for the gubernatorial nomination on a wet platform has decided ho could not support Carmi Thompson because of the latter's dry affiliations. Since then James W. Durnell, another contender fer the nomination, has bolted to Donahey while Sam Scott, campaign manager for still another aspirant to the gov ernorship. has gene the same way.
 Faver Beer and Wine
 With so many national speakers in the Ohio campaign. the issue there seems to be turning on national is- sues. despite the fact that a separate and distinct wet and dry fight is under way. The straw ballots, by the way, show an overwhelming trend in favor of light wines and beer.
 The deWocrats are assailing the administraticn for the tariff and for "Newberryism." The republicans are making much of the Washington dis armament conference and are warn ing the voters to beware of Wilson, ism and the League of Nations. The latter issue has come to the front With the activity of Governor Cox in tho campaign, although Mir. Cox him self has not discussed the league in any of his speeches. He has, how

newspaper articles, especially those which point out that so long as France and England continue to quarrel America cannot interest her self in them.
 Countercharges Made
 l am not pessimist but I do not see any way out of Europes present difficulties. Poincare has replied to Lloyd Georges Manchester speech. thus continuing politics at the ex- pense of the people. Lloyd George accused Poineare of quitting him in the orient while Poincare has re- preached Lloyd George for quitting him in the occident To add to the complexlty of the situation comes the resignation of Lloyd George as pre- mier. What the effect of the reor- ganization of the British government will have on Anglo-French relations cannot be forecast.
 As a result of the exchanges on policy between France and England the situation. insofar as he repar- ations are concerned, is back where 1t was last August when an agree ment could not be reached. The re- suit Is that French policies now are showing strange waverings. Some French newspapers are advocating friendship with Renal. others with Trotzky, passing this latter suggestion on the trip of Herriot to Moscow and of Bouillon to smyrna.
 Even if this would mean an up- setting of the present alliance and the entente cordiale. some would not care. The sterility of the Franco British negotiations has prepared the way for the most dangerous of dreams. In short. while I hope that stupidities will not be committed, I must confess that we seem ripe now for the most fantastic stupidity.
 No Law Or Doctrine
 I repeat, for three years Europe has not had law or doctrine. If the United States. after refusing to ratify the treaty of Versailles does not in- terest itself in its application it is only natural development and while we may discuss the moral responsi- bilities of that country, her legal lack of responsibility Is beyond blame. On the other hand the Euro pean nations which signed and now refuse to apply, the principles, whether in the east or the west, are responsible for intellectual and moral disorder everywhere.

tatorship into a heap of dust He knew that the revolt in the conser- ative ranks was serious but he hoped that by attaching the leaders to him he would be able to smash the party as he had smashed the liberal party and retain the main body and ma chine on his side. That Illusion is gone. The conservative executives knew the solidarity of their party , was at stake and they killed Lloyd George to prevent him killing them. With this result his personal power vanished.
 What followsf A general election of course. With coalition destroyed four parties will go to the polls, the conservatives. the labor independents the Asquit liberals and the Lloyd George liberals. In the present mood of the country the outcome likely will be a conservative majority over all parties
 My calculations are that the next commons will comprise $50 conserva- lives; 150 laborites; 50 liberal inde- pendents, and 40 Lloyd George lib- erals. It is possible labor and the Independent liberals may do better but it Is extremely unlikely they will have a majority of the house. The question or Jhe1r cOmDin1nB lnereIOEe is not likely to arise.
 Picks Lord Derby
 Assuming this conservative ma jority, who will be the prime min ister after the election? Balfour Chamberlain and Birkenhead are out of the question, owing to their ad- vocacy and association with Lloyd Georges plans. Leadership seems to lie between Bonar Law, Lord Derby Derby. What of Lloyd George7 He will fight like tiger but for whom i The election cannot fall to complete his downfall. He hoped to return, if not as leader, then holding the bal ance of power in the house. That is unlikely to happen. It is more prob able that he will head a small party of personal adherents without power to make or break governments.
 expect to see him try to return to the liberal party and restore the organization he has wrecked but doubt the success of this move. One thing is certain, he Is down and out and will make desperate fight to recover his dominion. But all the kings horses and all the kings men will not put Humpty Dumpty to- gether again later.
 Bonar Laws acceptance of office was natural. It was his sword that gave Lloyd George his death blow at the Carlton meeting. His action was doubtful up to the last moment. The late conservative leaders resigne d

Lloyd George Will Never Come Back, Says Gardiner, Who Predicts Success For the
 Conservatives
By A. G. GARDINER

(Britain's Greatest Liberal Editor)
 (Copyrisht. fs2s. Sy The Are-Heraid5
 London, October 21.-England to- day is seething with the greatest po- litical sensation that has happened in nearly 40 years. The declaration of the enormous majority of the con- servatives at the Carlton club Thurs day to break up the coalition was to- tally unexpected. This decision was arrived at in the face of the advice of the party leaders, Balfour aud Chamberlain. No such dramatic re- s volt of the rank and file of a politi- , cal party against it's officers ever be- fore was recorded in English politics.
 It was expected there would only be a substantial minority against Lloyd George. No one predicted this astounding tidal wave. It is the most smashing blow any public man ever received from his supporters in the House of Commons. The men who now have turned to rend Lloyd George were elected four years ago on his own ticket, signed by his own hand. They now cast him out, neck and crop. They declare they will have no association and no dealings with him They even humiliate their own leaders wha were preparing to back him and make a new compact with him.
 SmouIdering Anger
 What explanation is there for this startling political bolsheyism? It rep resents much more than a mere pre- liminary revolt The momentum comes from the country in which re- sentiment and distrust. has long been gathering. Thefe Is no doubt that smouldering anger over the sudden reversal of the policy toward Ireland in part caused the revolt. His recent handling of the Turkish situation also was crowning blow to Lloyd Georges prestige. The feeling had spread that he was playing with grave issues for the popular cry and coquetting with war political ends.
 But the main cause of his over throw was the deep, universal, dis quieting, distrust of the premier methods and policies. For six years he had been to all intents and pur- poses the absolute dictator of tho country. He has broken down every preliminary tradition. He has made waste paper of constitutional prac- tree. He has ruled the country through skilful manipulation of the press upon which he showered a rain of honors. Not since Oliver Cromwell has the exercise of personal power been carried to such lengths.
 If saceess had attended his dic- tatorship il mi ght have continued longer, but the failure was. so flag f; Il that it wholly discredited his ~1tlnffni stration. The conviction pre- afls that all standards of public life lGl>e been outraged by his audacious rpportunism; snatehing at any mob passion and motived by single ob- ect-maintenance of personal power.

 Cabinet on Job
 Having heard the Macedonian cry, the administration is responding with all good will. Every member of the cabinet gifted as spellbinder either has already been sent to Ohio or put under orders for immediate ac- ton when needed. There are 10 mem bers Of the Presidents official family, not counting Vice President Coolidge, who makes Il. Nine of the eleven are due for service stripes In the Ohio campaign. Possibly there will be 10 eventually on the firing line, leaving only the Secretary of the Treasury MT. Mellon, out of the trenches. MT. Mellon is n fine financier, but he ad- mits he Is nc stump speaker.
 Up to this time five members of the Presidents cabinet have been on the stump in Ohio in behalf of Simeon D.. Fess for United States senator Carmi A. Thompson. the Presidents s particular friend, for governor, and the 22 republican nominees for Con- gress. These five are Attorney Gen- eral Daugherty Postmaster General Work and Secretaries Hoover, Wal lice and Davis.
 Secretary of State Hughes and Vice President Coolidge are the big guns of the battalion that are about to be rushed into the Presidents state. There are Secretaries of the Navy and War. Messrs. Denby and Weeks. too, all ordered up for active serv- ice. This leaves only Secretaries Mei- Ion and Fall out of the picture, and it Is said the latter may get into the fighting before the armistice of the ballots on election day.
