the task of removing the injured to hospitals. The large number 5i those injured made it necessary for each ambulance to make two or more trips and it was some 30 min utes after the accident before the last of the injured We're removed.
 III News Travelled Fast
 Word of the accident spread fast and shortly after the affair. the streets around the scene of the ac- cident were made impossible by the throng of persons and automobiles that congregated Police rendered valuable service in keeping the crowd back away from the wreck, speeding up clearing of the debris
 Employees of the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company, which is only a few blocks away, hurried to the scene in response to call for assistance while officials of the company were on the scene shortly after
 Eyewitness Explains
 Information concerning the wreck had been greatly exaggerated when it reached downtown sections of the city and police and ambulance tele- phones were kept busy for hours afterwards answering calls from peO- pie requesting information as to the number of persons injured and other details concerning the affair.
 Eyewitness Expenses
 l.. J. Heacock, who was an eye witness to the accident, placed the reason for the accident as the speed which the car attained as it neared the curve at Ninth street and Second.
 "I was sitting on an inbound West End car, which was waiting on the side track for the fatal car to pass" ," said Mr. Heaeoek, and on account of the fact that l was sitting at the window on the side nearest to the unfortunate car 1 was able to see everything that happened
 "As the car approached the first ci1rve I was afraid that something was wrong. Rounding the curve forced the car over, which caused the trolley to break and fall 1t was at this time that the motorman and conductor were thrown from fhe front end of the car. I thought eureIv that the car would turn over here and I made a break for the door.
 Wild Rampage
 "The car righted itself, however, and continued down Ninth street tor ward the second curve at Second avenue. Just as the front trucks CT the ear reached the curve the wheels seemed to rise two feet in the air to boise a moment before turning oyer on it's side.
 Tt is truly miraculous that many were not killed instantly as the force of the impact was loud enough to have been heard for several blocks People residing in the neighborhooo rushed to the scene and gathered around the wreck, which greatly hindered the work of rescuing the injured"

Democratic ExecutiUe Committee Meets Today;
 VIII Reconsider Limit

Much interest eenters around tht meeting of the state democratic executive committee, which cenvenes at the Tutwiler hotel this afternoon at 1 o'clock.
 Simultaneously with the annual meetings of the Alabama Bar asso- citation, the called session of the eX- ecutive committee brings with it many notable personages in the po- litical life of the state to watch the proceedings from the side lines.
 Hotel lobbies were scenes late last night of many familiar faces and reg isters presented the names of many who have dawned Alabama political history for the past decade, notable among whom are Judge John w. An derson of the Alabama supreme court, B. r. Crum of Montgomery, Pat Me- Gauley of Montgomery, Senator Charles s. MeDewell Senator Robert Moulthrop of Barbour, J. Lee Long of Butler, J. H. Webb of Mobile and many others.
 The cause of the meeting of the executive committee at this time, ac- cording to J. H. Webb, chairman, is that many important matters have come before the committee recently
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-04-28

for adjudication and ratification which require immediate attention.
 Difficulties have arisen over the state, it is hinted, among persons wishing to qualify as candidates for office in the coming August pri- maries, some of whom are declared to have failed in adhering to rules laid down by the committed. and it is an open secret among politicians that executive action today will ex- tend qualification limits to include aspirants to toss their hats into the political ring which was declared closed to all would-be candidates on April 1.
 Colonel Webb declares he is in fla vor of extending the time limit to candidates, who have been automati- calIy debarred through committee ac- tion, but the matter is one for com mittee consideration, hence the spe- cial call. It is understood the ses- sion will be of one day duration only.

COURT RENDERS
 FORTY DECISIONS
Many Cases Transferred From Court of Appeals to
 Supreme Tribunal
By FRED H. GoRMLEY Montgomery Bureau The Age-Herald. 22l-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, April (Special.) Forty decisions and seven rulings on applications for rehearings were handed down by the supreme court Thursday in cases involving minor disputes and claims for damages. A great majority of the cases had been transferred to the supreme court from the court of appeals under the agreement between the two courts, whereby the supreme court passes upon SO per cent and the appellate court 40 per cent of all cases brought from the trial courts of Alabama.
 In a case from Dallas county the supreme court gave the American Railway Express company another trial of the case in which Dunaway & Lambert of Orrville sued for S5,O00 for the death of a fine hog which was shipped from Middle Point, Ohio, but which died on the way. The jury gave a judgment for the full amount. The express company contended that the hog was i'll when it was received and that when it's illness was dis covered it was rushed to a hospital in an automobile, but it was too late. The hog died. Dunaway x Lambert oontended that the death of the hog was caused by the negligence of the company in putting it in a sealed car which caused pneumonia. Another trial was granted because the trial judge, in his charge to the jury said, the facts are practically admitted
 Affirm Judgment
 In another unusual case the su- preme court affirmed the judgment Tor $200 awarded F. 4. Searson Of Birmingham against the Whistle Bot ting company by jury in the Jeff ferson circuit court. Searson con- tended that he was made i'll by the finding of a worm called thousand legs" In a bottle of beverage.
 The federal government will be re- quired to pay J. ]. Harris of Morgan county S100 for the death Of a dog, which was killed hS train on the Southern railway while the railroads were in the hands of the government. Harris sued the Southern and the dt- reetor-general of railroads, but the supreme court held that the Southern could not be held accountable for the acts of agents of the government during the war, rendered decision absolving the railroad of blame and

The plain tiff obtained a judgment for S3SS for the death of her husband, who was a member of the organization. The supreme court held that another trial was necessary because counsel for the plaintiff were permitted by the trial court to make an argument to the jury to the effect that a verdict against the organization would be against folks up in Indiana" and not against local members of the order. The supreme court said this was prejudicial argument. that residents CT other states had the same rights in Aalabama courts as residents of this state and that the trial court should have charged the jury not to consider this argument.

INGALLSAND
KING HELD FOR
MANSLAUCHTER
Passumpsic Men to Stand
Trial By Canadian
Authorities

Homer C. Ingalls, and Lewis F.
King, have both been arrested on
manslaughter charges after the
Coroner's jury had held an in
quest into the tragic death of
Patrick J. Shevlin, of Gorham, N.
H., who died in the Sherbrooke
Hospital as the result of injuries
received in an automobile collision
on the Government road near
Stanstead on Wednesday night.
With Coroner Bachand in
charge the jury met at
No. l Police Station to investigate
the manner in which Shevlin met
his death. Important evidence was
listened to, especially that of the
Government officer from Stan
stead. 1t appears that at the time
of the tragedy, which occurred
about a mile north of Stanstead,
10th King and Ingalls, are claimed
to have been in an intoxicated con-
dition and driving their car reck-
lessly and at an excessive rate of
speed. When the crash came, the
Ford in which Shevlin was driving
had little chance against the
speeding car of Ingalls,, a Frank
lin, and the results were fatal.

UNION PARADE
ON LABOR DAY
Baseball Game and Sports
Marks Celebration of
Holiday

Labor day was observed at Lyn-
donville by big union parade in
the morning, base ball game in
the afternoon and a milk can race
by three of the creamery employees.
1t was the first time that the com
munity has had a Labor day parade
and it was staged promptly at 10
O'Clock and attracted much atten-
ton as it proceeded through all the
principal streets. Aside from the
large number of men still out on
the strike there were few others in
the parade who were not working
at that time of day.
There were over 400 men, women
and children in the parade which
was in harge of Herman L. Car
ter as marshall with Frank Green
wood ancd John Beattie mounted
on horseback leading. They were
followed by color bearer with the
American flag and the Lyndonvillc
band. Behind them were 236 mem
bers of the various shopcrafts'
unions, each with their banners and
notices. The placards bore the fol-
lowing slogans, "We Want Peace
and We Want Justice" "Our Cause
Is Just" "No Violence Is our Mot
to" "Our Rights Should not be De
stroyed". There were six different
placards representing each of the
unions of the shopcrafts fedora
ton.
Following tn men were over 100
children and behind them were CT
of the wives of the men in the
parade. Seven automobiles with
more of the wives of the men
brought up the rear of the process
ion which diSbanded at Music Hall
at 1915 O'Clock.
In the afternoon Company c
scored a 9 to 4 ball game over q
nine firm the SHIPS, the proceeds of
said game to be used for the benc-
fit of the needy strikers families.
Perhaps the mos; interesting event
was the contest between three of
tn creamery men, Ernest Kelley,
John Ames, and "Can" Hazard,
who competed in rolling three of
the large cans filled with milk all
the way from the creamery to the
Post-otficc. A big crowd gathered
to see this contest, which was won
by Mr.. Kelley, who is now enjoying
box of cigas as the result.

on a ride to Coventry, Mitchell
was driving his fathers Ford car,
and the three boys were sitting on

None of the three can tell eX-
actly what happened, but the car

Mitchell lost control, possibly
striking soft gravel. 1t ran over

YOUTH CATCHES
BIRD BY PUTTING
SALT ON ITS TAIL

Were you ever a credulous
youngster who followed the
advice Of an older friend and
tried to catch - bird by put
ting salt on his tail? If you
were, don't feel chagrined, for
the thing has been done. Will
liam Neal saw a pigeon how
ering around the walk near
the f. Lane and Son store
and after some one had called
out flippantly to "ppt salt on
his tall, "Bill" tried it and
caught his bird.
1t now appear sthat it is Il
carrier pigeon which has been
about here for several days.
After capture, it was discover
ed that the bird had a metal
band on one leg with the
number 588, and on the other
leg a band with the letters,
X. K. D., Montreal.
When the bird came back
the second day Mr., Lane gave
it to Ted Heycr on the Lake
road who carried it home only
to have it return to the store
the next day. Mr.. II. f. Lane
is now sure that a pigeon
which the store cat caught a
few days ago was the trav-
cIcrs' mate and that he is still
searching for him. The pigeon
is at the present time being
we'll cared for at the store
where he is confined in a crate
and will be released in a few
days after he has been fed and
rested.
