Democratic Contention Is
 To HaUe NO Bearing on
 Fall Election Candidates s
w. D. Nesbitt Issues Statement Relative to Action of State Democratic Executive Committee-Says
 Confusion Resulted From Reports

In an explanatory statement made to clarify reports emanating from the recent meeting of the state demo- cratic executive committee at Mont gomery, W. D. Nesbitt, former chair man of the board, tells of the tenn porary increase to 50 members and points out that the convention. which will be called following the primaries, will have no bearing on candidates for the fall election.
 For the reason that there has been considerable confusion and misunder- standing concerning the action of the state democratic executive commit tee at its meeting in Montgomery on Friday on two important matters I think 1t would be very helpful to clearly restate the action of the com mittee and give a clear understand ing of these matters" said MT. Nes- bitt yesterday.
 The first is in regard to the ar arrangements made for calling a demo cratic convention. This convention is to meet at some date after the August primaries; has nothing to do with any candidates to be selected in the primary of August 8, all of whom are to be selected as heretofore in the primary.
 Request Was Made
 The Bar association, through its officers and committee, requested the democratic executive committee to arr range for the selection of judges of the supreme and appellate courts by convention instead of by primary The committee deemed 1t wise and proper to continue the primary sys- tenn as directed by the last demo- cratic convention until the party in convention assembled laid down or decided upon other policies.
 This matter and many other im- portant matters should be carefully discussed by regularly elected repre- sentatives of the party and there should be an opportunity for demo- crats to gather in convention for the purpose of making policies and de- claring a platform and in order that democrats might have the opportun- ity of renewing old acquaintances and making new ones each with the other. In the call for the convention the executive committee has provided a means for accomplishing these pur- poses. The committee felt that 1t was very necessary if the convention was to be held that 1t be fully repre- sentatives both in numbers and char acter.
 For this reason. rather than hur- riedly make these arrangements, a subcommittee will be appointed by the chairman to carefully work out these details and, when this conven- ton is assembled, democrats will have the opportunity of presenting to 1t their views on matters affecting good government and the best method for it's efficient administration.

BONDS OF DEPUTIES
 STILL IN EFFECT
Deputy Sheriffs Have Ten Days in Which to Make
 New Bonds

Jefferson county's deputy sheriffs remain under the protection of the bonds furnished by the National Surety company until January 26, notwithstanding application by that concern to be released from further liability on the bonds, according to county officials last night.
 Under the law. 1t is stated. the when the deputies were notified by Judge J. P. Stiles in probate court to secure new bonds in which to do so. Meanwhile the original bonds remain in effect during the period allowed by law and constitute a pro tection to the officers in making arrests and performing other official duties.
 When asked about reports that the officers were temporarily unbonded pending the making of new bonds Judge Stiles stated that the obliga- tion of the National Surety company under it's original bonds will not cease until the expiration of the 10 days allowed by law for filing O. new bonds which will be January 2s. Under the law & deputy is required to be under bond as a condition pre- cedent to the performance of his du- ties and without the bond any ar rests or other official action taken by him would be illegal.
 Arrangements have been made with the Burke-Dupuy real estate agency of Ensley to take over the deputy's bonds, 1t was stated, by Sheriff Hartsfield. and the new bonds will be filed within the 10 day limit provided by law.

WILSON HOUR HAS
 QUIET OBSERVANCE
First Donations for Woodrow Wilson Foundation Come
 to Chairman

"Wilson Hour," which was widely observed all over United States yes- terday. was observed only in minor form in Birmingham, due to the fact that the Birmingham and Jefferson county committee does not plan their active drive in behalf of the Woodrow Wilson foundation until later in the week.
 "Alabama's quota for the y1,0oo, 900 foundation fund only totals sS6,ooo." says Sydney J. Bowie, who is in charge of the local headquarters. opened yesterday in the Tutwiler ho- tel.
 "Of this amount Jefferson county should easily raise its ssiooo. We have not organized the drive to the peak point in deference to the Y. M. II. A. building drive now on among the Gentle citizenry.
 At the designated hour of noon to 1 o'clock there were several sponta- neous small subscriptions offered. which will serve the nucleus for the local fund.
 "We have Bessemer well organized and expect to hear from all parts of the county. A certificate will be given those who subscribe to the foundation fund which will go as an institution akin to the Nobel peace prize for distinguished public service.
 "Personally. l believe in showing respect to this great man while he is living rather than flowers and trib- ute of real appreciation after he has di ed"

DAMAGES CLAIMED FOR KILLING OF MAN
 BY RAILROAD AGENT

Suit claiming t10o.000 damages for the alleged killing of William J. Thomas, alias Hugh Queens, who was shot and killed December by W. B. Ratteree, special agent for the South ern railway. near Attala, was filed In circuit court yesterday by Robert F. Ashworth, as administrator of the estate of the dead man. against the Southern Railway company and the Alabama Great Southern Railroad company.
 In the complaint Ratteree Is charged to have wrongfully killed the deceased by shooting him with pis- tol. When killed, the deceased had letters on his person addressed to Hugh Queens" After several days he was identified as William J.. Thomas of Baltimore, Md, through sending his finger prints to the navy department in Washington.

that of representation for the women voters in party councils. The com mittee was practically unanimous in the sentiment that these newly en- franchised democratic voters should have the opportunity and be encour- aged to take active part in the di- rection of party policies and under takings and that the administrative committees of the party should, through woman membership on these committees, have the benefit of their advice and counsel.
 The statute and constitutional lim- ttations are such that there can be made no discrimination in favor of or limitation of the right to hold of- flee or exercise the franchise as be- tween men and women. Therefore, the committee made no change in the plan of slecting the state democratic executive committe, consisting of 50 members, five from each congress sional district to be selected in pri- maries. Under this 2nan. the commit tee will be composed of those men and those women who by plurality votes in the ten congressional dis tricts of the state are selected by the democrats to represent them on this committee.
 Temporary Increase
 Tn order that the present col nit tee might have the benefit for the balance of It's existence, or until the new committee was selected in the August primary of woman member ship and counsel, the committee tenn ponarily enlarged its membership to 50 members, making one additional place from each congressional district. and has suggested. through It's reso- lution, to the five present members from each congressional district that arrangements bs made which would result if possible in nominating to the committee from each district one woman as a member of the commit tee, which nominations will be con firmed by the committee at its next meeting. The method of filling va cancies on the committee Is by nom ination to the committee by the mem bers from the district in which the vacancies occur, so that this plan fol- lows the established unwritten rule of the committee.
 'The committees action in this re- spect is only suggestive and to en- courage the women democrats and, should any district prefer to fill the vacancy with an additional male member, this Is entirely within their right and the nomination from the district of man instead of woman would be confirmed by the committee.
 Information on this situation and a. full explanation I feel Is due to and of importance to the democratic voters of the state as well as to citizens of the state not democrats who are at this time at least dependen upon dem ocratic administration of the states affairs"

WEEK DANCING IS
 QUESTION NOW UP
Commissioner Harrison Says the Problem of Sunday
 Dancing Not Up

Dancing at Pershing Pier, the mu- nicipal dancing pavilion, on week days, is the only issue which will be submitted to the voters of Birning ham if the referendum election IS called, according to a statement made yesterday by Commissioner w. L. Harrison of parks and playgrounds.
 Petitions calling on the city com mission to submit this matter to the people ara being circulated and are being signed by many voters of thIs city. A large number have been fill ed and turned to Commissioner Har- rison and so great has been tho de- mand for these petitions that the supply furnished him has been com pletely exhausted. An additional number will be sent to his office this morning and persons wishing them may obtain them from him.
 1t is estimated that approximate ly 800 petitions are being circulated by members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce who are sponsoring this movement to have the matter def initely settled by the people of Bir- mingham. It is stated that only 1,50o names of qualified electors are re- quired to assure the calling of the referendum but several thousand names will probably be obtained by the committee in an effort to have the commissioners, if possible, to agree to opening the dancing pa vilion without submitting the mat ter to a vote. It Is pointed out that the holding of an election would cost approximately $1,000.
 Not Sunday Dancing
 Some people have gosten the i'm pression that the matter involved is dancing on Sunday" said Commis- sioner Harrison, "and want this made clear that the only issue to be placed before the people Is a matter of dancing at East Lake on week days. We have never thought of conducting dancing there on Sundays and since the former commission closed Pershing pier after 1t was built at a cost of S1S,000 for a dance hall, 1 feel that the people want to dance out there and should be permitted to do so. The park cannot be operated as an amusement park except at a loss to the city unless dancing is permitted and it is my intention to operate a well supervised and reg ulated dance hall there if the people of Birmingham desire to have the pavilion opened this summer.
 There Is no doubt but that the petitions with many more names than the number required by law will be submitted to the city commission at It's meeting next week. We think fl will be better to allow the commit tee the remainder of this week to circulate the petitions and obtain tho uf &rs- @H -I- F. fore bringing the matter before the members of the city commission"

PREDICTS RUSSIA IS COMING ID SURFACE
Noted Lecturer Speaks on After War Conditions and
 Reconstruction

Reconstruction of the Temple of Civilization" was the subject of the lecture of B. R. Baumgardt, noted scientist and traveller, delivered under the auspices of the Birmingham Ly- ceum association at Temple Emanu- El last night. The lecture was well attended and much interest displayed by the audience.
 MT. Baumgardt began his lecture by asking the question, Who won the World War;" Then, taking this question as a basis. he described the different part played by each nation in the European conflict.
 "I justly believe" stated MT. Baum gardt," that every nation that helped fight the Hun won the war. I do not believe that any especial honors are due to America, to England, to France or any other separate nation. and I believe that there Is glory enough to go around"
 "Our country has an immense na- tional debt. so has England. France and Germany. If the European na- tions would pay what they owe us our debt would be reduced one-half am in favor of cancelling the debts owed us by the foreign nations This will help us to get stabilized and also assist their recoery."
 MT. Baumgardt dealt extensively with the political and economical side of France, Germany, Russia, Italy, England and America. In speaking of Russia. he said:
 DO not lose confidence in Russia. Already that large nation is coming to the surface. Although 1t was taken over by bolshevists when in a vulnerable position, that of imme- diately after the recent revolution, 1t will right itself in time. Lenine and Trotzky will have to go in due time. A nation cannot pass from autocracy to democracy without bloodshed. It is impossible. The French reign of terror is striking example. Such is the condition of Russia at Nthe present, but like France. Russia will, in due time, come into its own"
